<p>I&#8217;m really, really, really fixing this up for real. I&#8217;m gonna make this journal hella damn simple. I&#8217;ll probably use premade themes for life but who cares? No one would actually comment on blogs if it weren&#8217;t for return comments. Hahaha. Well I guess that&#8217;s just in my case. <img src='http://isai.toffeenut.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>April is nearly half over? Dang. Life today is nothing but Facebook and gym. Yep, I&#8217;m working my flabs out. Hope it works this time. </p>
<p>I&#8217;m looking for jobs&#8230; will probably come in mid-April. I&#8217;ve got to learn to do 3D renderings. I might be designing booths. <img src='http://isai.toffeenut.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> I&#8217;m siked!</p>
<p>Plus, I took a second chance for UP&#8217;s fine arts. I had the mental exam shiznits and the talent test just last week. I found it easy honestly. It&#8217;s just that my weakness is I&#8217;m totally slow at rendering things and I never wear a watch. <img src='http://isai.toffeenut.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_neutral.gif' alt=':|' class='wp-smiley' /> Anyway, results will come out on 17th of April and I&#8217;ll tell the world whether I passed (at last) or failed (once again). </p>
<p>Bye for now. Restaurant City is being a bitch, I haven&#8217;t got much enthusiasm for Poupee Girl and I&#8217;m off to burn some fat.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ola, I&#8217;m now on Christmas break! <img src='http://isai.toffeenut.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I experienced my first UST Paskuhan last Friday and it was pretty much awesome, except for the signal difficulties and the crowdiness. <img src='http://isai.toffeenut.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> Hence I wasn&#8217;t able to meet up with my good ol&#8217; friend <a href="http://maddeeehh.multiply.com/">Mady</a>. I enjoyed all the <strong>free food</strong> though, haha! We ate <strong>free</strong> Kenny Roger&#8217;s and Tokyo Tokyo - how awesome is that? <img src='http://isai.toffeenut.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> I didn&#8217;t enjoy the concert much cos I ain&#8217;t no fan of Join the Club and Bamboo. Good thing some highschool friends were around so we hung around - without alcohol, of course! <img src='http://isai.toffeenut.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> One more thing that I couldn&#8217;t get over that night were the fireworks! They were really <strong>beautiful</strong>. Haha I&#8217;m a fireworks freak.</p>

<p>Anyway it was a great experience. I&#8217;ll have to check next year if I won in the raffle or something! Haha. I believe I&#8217;m lucky. <img src='http://isai.toffeenut.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> I once won an iPod nano and a cellphone in Boracay. <img src='http://isai.toffeenut.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Despite not being invited to some of my friends birthdays and debuts (:(), I decide not to fret about it cos it&#8217;s Christmas season. There are lots of good things to look forward to! One thing is I&#8217;ll be buying a dSLR camera soon! <img src='http://isai.toffeenut.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> I&#8217;m deciding over a Nikon D60 or a Canon EOS 1000D - but I&#8217;m prolly leaning more on the <strong>Nikon D60</strong>! <img src='http://isai.toffeenut.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> I&#8217;m dang siked! Other things to look forward to are Christmas gifts, money, lots of food and probably a family reunion! <img src='http://isai.toffeenut.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Today&#8217;s the <strong>14th month</strong> of my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1078427388">Uchi</a> and I! <img src='http://isai.toffeenut.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> Heehee. We&#8217;re gonna have Italian dinner later and I&#8217;m siked once again! I haven&#8217;t bought a gift for him yet though. I&#8217;m thinking a new pair of Vans or basketball shoes? <img src='http://isai.toffeenut.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> I&#8217;m not really good at gifts. <img src='http://isai.toffeenut.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be blogging once again - I have to go. I&#8217;ll be posting photos once I get my hands on a camera again. Bye for now! I have new links so make sure to check them out in the links page! <img src='http://isai.toffeenut.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

Well we had it yesterday. Remember how I talked about wanting to &#8220;ace it&#8221;? Well the exact opposite happened. <strong>We actually failed with an excruciating grade of 40.</strong> :(:(:(</p>
<p>We were, unfortunately, not given the chance to present our report anymore because of being late. The class starts at 12 and we&#8217;re given 30 minutes to prepare for reporting. We consumed a little bit more than 30 minutes and we were given a failing grade already.</p>
<p>Now, the million dollar question: <strong>what happened?</strong> If I think about it now, it seems all too fast, like hard to grasp of some sort. It&#8217;s like there are lots of things that I&#8217;d like to say to explain why it happened - like because this week had been too busy, there wasn&#8217;t enough time to meet up with the group mates, because I did not distribute the paper work enough, because I did not finish the written report beforehand, because we didn’t synchronize with the time that we should be following - none would suffice though. No excuse would make up for what happened.</p>
<p>Plainly and directly I think what really happened was <strong>procrastination</strong>. It&#8217;s our fault alone and we&#8217;re now carrying the consequences on our shoulders. What makes me feel worse though is because I was the appointed leader. I should&#8217;ve not allowed this to happen. I should&#8217;ve been a better leader. I guess this is something for me to work on. I’ve never been good at being a leader.</p>
<p>I never cried at school yesterday. I tried to laugh it off and encouraged everyone that we could still make up for that very low grade. I didn&#8217;t want to cry anymore but after hearing the words &#8220;I&#8217;m disappointed&#8221; from my mother, I couldn&#8217;t help but shed some tears. <strong>I, too, was very disappointed at myself.</strong> To think that I sacrificed going to some of my classes for this report - it all makes me sadder.</p>
<p>All I want now to happen is to do well in this subject whatever happens. I won&#8217;t drop this subject or even think about of dropping it. I will learn my lesson and actually work my ass off now. <img src='http://isai.toffeenut.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> <strong>No more procrastination</strong> - I guess this should really, really, really be number one on my resolutions.</p>
<p>To make myself feel tad better, I asked my mom to watch <strong>Twilight</strong> with me tonight. I know people say it&#8217;s not good and all but I feel like watching it today. Tomorrow&#8217;s a free day for me too. I&#8217;m hoping the boyfriend wants to watch<strong> Bolt</strong> with me. <img src='http://isai.toffeenut.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> So, bye!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Only two more months til 2009. It&#8217;s definitely not a long wait for busy folks. I seriously think I need resolutions that I should <em>not</em> be labeling as &#8220;New Year&#8217;s Resolution&#8221; because I need and should be doing those resolutions as early as now. I&#8217;ve been so undisciplined ever since and I really <em>do</em> want to change. <img src='http://isai.toffeenut.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> Here&#8217;s a short list of my Before-New-Year&#8217;s Resolution:</p>
<ul>
<li>I should <strong>not CRAM.</strong></li>
<li>I should do my <strong>(school) work before play.</strong></li>
<li>I should <strong>eat less.</strong></li>
<li>(and therefore) I should <strong>lose weight.</strong></li>
<li>I should <strong>be punctual.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>There you have it. It really is short but those are the &#8220;core&#8221; stuff that I want to work on. It may be short but those aren&#8217;t easy! Agree? <img src='http://isai.toffeenut.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> I&#8217;ll try my best though (starting tomorrow) and blog about my &#8220;progress&#8221; in the days to come.</p>
<p>On the bright side of life, it&#8217;s confirmed that I&#8217;m in the Dean&#8217;s List of UST CFAD (College of Fine Arts and Design). I feel so overwhelmed. <img src='http://isai.toffeenut.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> Thank you, Lord. Haha. I will work hard for this semester again and for the semesters to come. <img src='http://isai.toffeenut.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Now, stuff regarding my blog: I&#8217;ve put up the links page already. I&#8217;m now <em>very</em> open for link exchanges! <img src='http://isai.toffeenut.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> I&#8217;ve also changed the smilies (see the little bunny things? <img src='http://isai.toffeenut.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> <img src='http://isai.toffeenut.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> :neutral:) but I don&#8217;t like it too much. I might change it again soon. I shall be putting up my &#8220;about&#8221; and &#8220;Isai&#8221; page soon enough.</p>
<p>Two new movies that I would like to watch are out in the cinemas:<strong> Bolt</strong> and <strong>Twilight</strong>. I&#8217;ve been receiving negative feedback about Twilight though. Things like: &#8220;It&#8217;s so bad I advice you to just wait for the pirated DVD copy.&#8221; or &#8220;Waste of money!&#8221; - you get it. Not much feedback for Bolt either. Uchi (the boyfriend) and I went to Glorietta last Friday though but ended up watching nothing.</p>
<p>Anyway, I have a big report coming up on Saturday. I still don&#8217;t know how to present it and I haven&#8217;t started writing the written report. Dang! <img src='http://isai.toffeenut.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_mad.gif' alt=':x' class='wp-smiley' /> I&#8217;ve got plates piled up too. I should really be applying my &#8220;resolutions&#8221; now in order to survive - bye for now!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hurrah for my first decent blog entry! <img src='http://isai.toffeenut.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> It has finally sunk in on me that I don&#8217;t have much time for now to make my own theme since I get busy/lazy and I have to familiarize myself again with the how-to&#8217;s of WP. That&#8217;s why I&#8217;ve installed this cute theme from <a href="http://topwpthemes.com/">Top WP Themes</a>.</p>
<p>My last blog was from a year ago - <a href="http://chickengravyxxx.livejournal.com">Chickengravyxxx</a> - didn&#8217;t last more than 30 entries. Before that livejournal, I had my last hosted blog at <a href="http://comatose.nu">Comatose.nu</a>. When I quit my hosted blog and my livejournal, I blogged a bit around Multiply and now I&#8217;m finally back on being hosted. Thanks to Pam!</p>
<p>Now today was quite eventful. It was my first time to step foot inside a real advertising agency. We have this upcoming report for one of our majors, ADPRAC1 (Advertising Practice 1) which requires interviewing an advertising practitioner. Today, my groupmates and I went to <strong>Universal McCann </strong>to conduct an interview which apparently, lasted up to 2 hours.  Lol! I remember opening my mouth to talk approximately 10 times only. Bad interviewer much? Our interviewee talked a lot and it was a good thing. Bad thing was our tape recorder stopped recording in the middle of the interview (or towards the end) according to my groupmate. I don&#8217;t want to expect much but I really want to ace this report. I hope the vital information we needed were caught on tape. =/</p>
<p>Anyway while I was talking to Ionne (the BFF) about being able to go inside an actual ad agency, I told her that I felt scared. She asked me if it was &#8220;good scary or bad scary&#8221; and the answer is the good kind of scary&#8230; like I&#8217;m siked to <em>be in</em> something like it. Like I can&#8217;t wait to be able to work in an ad agency as a practitioner in the creative department. <img src='http://isai.toffeenut.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> K, so much for dreams.</p>
<p>All in all, I felt that today was a really good day. Tomorrow will probably be good too since I&#8217;ve got no classes. Goodnight. <img src='http://isai.toffeenut.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>P.S. The smileys suck aww. I shall update them soon!</p>
