Rubik Madness

I HAVE SOLVED IT!!!

WAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! I am so happy!

T'was just my 21st birthday yesterday and now I have finally solved the Rubik's cube. I am so excited because this is my first time solving that thing. ALL SIX SIDES. I bought, or at least my parents did, a Rubik's Cube back when I was 7 years old. I was a kid back then (obviously) and my patience then and now... let's just say I was never patient (ever!) and I easily get frustrated, not to mention grumpy,  when I can't figure out things and when things just don't go my way. I guess I was a little spoiled back then, but I was able to do away with it but then eventually it was replaced with my being a control freak. That didn't help much.

As I was saying (or typing), I was never patient and I just like things to go the way I want them to and that piece of cube was way too challenging for a seven year old (or so I thought) and it just wouldn't turn smoothly (sometimes, you know when it just gets stuck and you don't know why and you just have to turn it the other way around). It was really annoying at times and so I just threw the damn thing aside and forgot all about it. I think this was the reason I developed my being a rage-aholic everytime I see clutter and just couldn't find the thing I'm looking for. I just throw things in every direction to let the world know that I'm mad and that I need to find the damn thing like yesterday.

Anyway, back to the topic, I forgot all about it until the Rubik's Cube madness was back. I mean, everywhere I look (on campus at least) I see people walking with a cube in their hands twisting and turning to put the colors back to where they belong. And just last Friday, I saw a classmate of mine solve the cube TWICE in less than 30 minutes. Can you believe? Twice!. I never thought that solving the cube was for real and never saw anyone actually do it. I mean, our class ended early and he started solving the thing and before we left the room, he had already finished it and so he jumbled the cube again and just when the professor for our next class arrived, he was done solving it. And so I thought, maybe I'd give it another try. And so I did.

I started Saturday morning just before leaving home for my Lasaret and brought it with me so I could solve it while on the bus, unfortunately, I fell asleep and the entire Lasaret was just filled with activities that I couldn't find the time to solve it and even if we did have some free time, I had to do something else like brush my teeth, take a bath, eat or take my own picture. That self-timing photoshoot alone would take me forever to perfect, so how on earth would I be able to solve the Rubik's cube right?

When I came back home, I was too tired to even try. I woke up late this morning (or afternoon) watched some dvd to really wake me up. Around 3pm, I started solving again, while watching the sixth season of Smallville. I was able to solve the upper two layers fast, but then I was stuck with the bottom layer for hours. I just couldn't figure out how I would turn the cube so that all the squares in the bottom are in their right position and orientation without ruining the upper layers of the cube. But what the heck, I was almost there, all I gotta do is try and finish it.

To make a long story short, I eventually did. And I'm HAPPY! Soooooo happy!

I have pictures and even a video to prove it. WAHAHAHAHA!

- Txt ni Inday sa friends niya.. pauwi kasi ng probinsya

Sa resto:

WAITER: Ano po order nila ma'am?

AMO: Yung fried chicken meal na lang. Ikaw Inday, ano sa'yo?

INDAY: I would like to partake of a dish of sautedd pork and chicken, boiled in thick essence of soy and cane extracts, with copious amounts of garlic, onion and laurel, sprinkled generously with fine spices and served with a generous helping of root crop and a helping of rice.

AMO: Adobo with rice daw.

Overnight inaral ng amo ni Inday ang dictionary para may pangtapat siya kay Inday.

AMO: So Inday tell me, how do you accept the fact that you are just a mere chambermaid in this extravagant mansion?

INDAY: Una camerera? Eres tan pathetic. La unica razon que inscribi tu casa es porque nada esta sucediendo dentro de tu casa cuasi-agradable. Quisiera traer una poca clase en este hogar pero conjeturo que no puedo porque esta casa es fea.

AMO: Gago!

"Bienvenu aux Philippines! J'espere que vouz aimerez votre sejour. Madame vous attend a la maison a Davao. Elle m'a demande de venir vouz chercher ici a l'aeroport. Est-ce que vous avez tout ce qu'il faut avant que nous puissions aller dans le centre? Avez-vous deja mange?"

- sinundo ni Inday ang French na friend ng amo sa airport.

Hey, are you doing anything tonight? Can you join me for a few drinks? Don't worry, my treat. Sky is the limit. Just want somebody to talk to. He left me for that bitch!

We can meet up at Capone's and then afterwards we can go to Embassy.

- Inday, sawi sa pag0ibig ni Dudung. (siyett! sa Capone's pa iinom, TOTYAL)

-----

AMO: Inday, anong ginawa mo ngayong araw?

INDAY: I went to the market and found out that the prices of sugar rose by 2php, chicken by 10php and cabbage by 2php. As a result, the AD curve shifts to the right, increasing also the interest rate. So from now on, you have to give me a higher budget in order to move the AS curve to the right and restore the equilibrium.

AMO: Ear and nose bleed.

Guess what? The not-so-stunning guy keeps on staring at my newly manicured nails while the copy-cat-freaks envy my stylishly cut mane. Unfortunately, after a great day at the spa, I have to step on this muddy and stinking place just to purchase some veggies!

-Inday, nakikipagchikahan sa tindera sa palengke.

DRIVER: Inday, ang ganda mo ngayon ah. Sabay naman tayo kumain minsan.

INDAY: Awww... I'm impressed by the courage you have to utter those sweet metaphorical words. It's quite flattering, but duhh? I am not hte type who is easy to get.

DRIVER: (natulala)

Jeepney driver: Hoy! Bat 6 lang ang binayad mo? 7 na ang pamasahe ngayon!

Inday: I'm currently enrolled in a 2-year vocational course in an academic institution. Therefore, I'm a student and by this fact, I am entitled to have the inalienable right to avil of a certain discount on my jeepney fare. This is why I provided a payment less than what you expected because that is according to the law, as stated in the fare matrix.

Driver: Aww...Taray!

Inday sa Deal or No Deal:

Kris: Sharmel, before you open the briefcase, I would like to thank Figliarina by Schubizz for my shoes, Bambi Fuentes for my hair and make-up, Pepsi Herrera for my gown tonight.

Inday: Ahh, ma'am Kris, can I thank a few people a well?

Kris: Sure Inday:

Inday: I would like to thank Frank Provost for my hair and make-up, Jimmy Choo for my shoes, and Oscar Dela Renta for my gown tonight, also to the people of Cartier for my jewelry.

Kris: (walk-out)

Ano and sinabi ni Dr. Jose Rizal kay Inday?

Rizal: Inday, ang hindi magmahal sa sariling wika ay mas masahol pa sa halimaw at malansang isda.

Inday: Thank you for your wonderful word of wisdom, but don't you know that I already read all your writings, unfortunately I was really disappointed because majority of your novels were written in Spanish and Latin. So therefore you are the ultimate violator of your own aphorism.

Tarya talaga ni Inday!

Driver: Inday, and ganda mo ngayon ah. Sabay naman tayo kumain minsan.

Inday: Awww, I'm impressed by the courage you have to utter those sweet metaphorical words. It's quite flattering, but duhhh!!? I am not the type who is easy to get.

Driver: (natulala)

Amo: Inday, masakit ang tiyan ko.

Inday: Ma'am, if you're having pain in your right iliac region, you're maybe suffering from inflammation of your appendix or what we know as appendicitis and if it's just in your right lumbar region, it must be your feces trying to see the world but having a hard time doing so.

Don't limit my capacity in the four corners of this luxurious abode. Expose me to the real challenges of the outisde world. I want to grow as an individual with dynamic experiences.

-Inday, nagrereklamo kasi ayaw isama sa enchanted kingdom.

La Bore @ Oreo

Latin and Oreo has nothing to do with this blog entry. I'm just bored to death with what I am doing right now, I just can't seem to understand the point of all my lab subjects this term. And mind you, I am taking up 6 units worth of lab courses this term (6 subjects, 3 hours each), meaning, I have to spend 18 hours of worthless lab subjects every week and all of them requiring reports to be submitted the week after which requires me to waste at least one hour for each report, which then affect my already filled-up schedule because I have to type datas, observations, analyses and conclusions plus all the other things that have to be typewritten ,which doesn't really have to be typewritten to begin with because they've already been typed before, which then screws up my entire week.

Quite frankly, they're pointless, not to mention, unproductive and boring. Just this afternoon, I was having this lab course and I just can't do anything really worth doing. The experiment was just making me wish I was dead.

Who would've thought that lab courses would be this much fun! Whoopi!
