In The Name of Blog

When you are really loaded with a lot of things to do, you couldn't even take notice your own day. It was like yesterday when I'm thinking of some stuff to do on a Friday night, and before I knew it, I am sitting right in front of my friend's monitor doing this blog.

But my day is not that bad after all.

Teaching:
As usual, everything was on rush this morning. I promised my students that they can verify grades today and I only had the chance to partly finish their class record 30 minutes before my class. :). I even announced to them that we'll be having our oral exam. And we did. I made my set of questions 15 minutes before class. :) Ooopps, and I forgot to check one of their lab exams, but before they knew it, I was checking their exams while I'm conducting their oral exam. Hehe. Shew! Sometimes I really enjoy being on a hasty situation.

Defense:
We're about to end our term and students are cramming as well and a bit panicky on their defense. Right after my class at 1:30 pm, I went straight to my co-faculty's OJT defense. That went all the way til 4:00 pm. Wow and I haven't eaten my lunch then. Buti na lang some OJT students brought some snacks for their panelists. Para siguro we won't ask them too much questions. Binubusog kami. Of course, the better the food, the higher the grade! Haha. It was a joke. Don't be so gullible. :) Of course, food has no bearing on their defense grade. Neither do we require them to prepare one for us. It was out of their generosity.

Web:
I just had a 30-min break after the defense. After a while, here came one department asking me to fix something on their website project. And I stayed their for like 1.5 hours. And yes, I still have not eaten my lunch meal. And it's 6:30pm na.

Badminton Session:
Despite the mental and physical exhaustion the workloads have brought me, I was still able to manage to play badminton! Yippeeee! We set the court at the parking lot and presto! Laro to the max. It was unplanned kaya some wore casual and even formal garbs. Hehe. Buti na lang I'm just wearing a plain white shirt(my favorite attire!), blue jeans but with leather shoes. Ang sarap maglaro! We played for like 1 straigth hour! And seriously, I almost collapse! Hehe. I have not eaten my lunch, i'm almost drained, my eyes are tired, and still, direcho pa rin ang laro! All for badminton's sake.

Korean Garden
And finally! Nakakain din ako. My officemate gave us a treat at Korean Garden for the time we spent as panelists for her OJT students defense. Since the school doesn't have the budget yet, normally when the OJT advisers are generous, they take the initiative to give something to their panelists. I'm an OJT adviser myself, that is. Dami ko nakain. And my favorite meal of the night? Octopus with spicy sauce!

Back in the office
Since it's just few meters away, we went back to the office na lang, just to pee sana pero I end up doing this blog! :)


And so I'm sitting right in front of this screen. And by the time you reach this part of my story, I'm totally worn out. Doing this in the name of blog.

Have a nice weekend!
