I’m going to the Taste Asia event with my dear Tiffany on July 3, 2007! Is anyone else going to be there?
Ha ha, my first bloggers’ event as a blogger. How exciting. I’m a little nervous though, since I tend to be shy and reserved during big events. But I can’t wait to meet everybody. And to eat.

The semester so far has been… well. Let’s just say I’ve had better semesters before. You see, I genuinely like school. I like everything about my college life - my school, my friends, professors, the lessons (to some extent) - and the whole learning and growing bit that comes with studying in UP. I enjoy being in school so much that at one point, I would get disappointed every time school got called off due to rains. It seems like there’s always something to look forward to everyday, be it the people I interact with or the lessons I learn. I don’t think I am as inspired to go to school this sem as I used to be. Partly because a good half of my teachers are terrible.
For example, I am taking a subject that is reputably fun, life-changing and interesting, but only if you take it with the fun, dynamic and vibrant professors. I, unfortunately, got stuck with a withered, gray and boring one who doesn’t teach us shit. Seriously. I’m not saying that to be mean, it’s the truth. There are professors who aren’t animated and enjoyable, but even if their attempts fail you gotta give them credit for trying to teach you something. I can tell my professor isn’t even trying. All she ever does is parrot to us what is already written on the book. As if we couldn’t read it ourselves, which by the way is all we ever do in class anyway. I feel like I’m in a fucking reading comprehension class. We just read for an hour and a half. Agh.
I don’t mind boring professors. I’d like to think they’re really brilliant people who simply don’t know how to express their knowledge in an interesting manner. Still, they know their stuff, so it’s worth drinking 3 cups of coffee and staying awake in class since you’ll end up learning something new anyway. The worst professors, I think, are those who are not only boring, but who don’t teach you anything beyond what you already know (e.g. simply reading verbatim what’s in the textbook).

Yesterday, a friend asked me if I’m happy. I said I am, I just like bitching a lot. Ha ha.
But it’s true. In spite of my incessant complaining about how much my life sucks, I am generally a happy camper. When everything around me is crap, I always seem to find ways to keep myself sane. Go me.
