Oh, Mark, my man. *sees tagboard* Yep, I was at the iConvergence Seminar last February 21 at SM Megamall. I was absent the second day due to thesis constraints.

Your face… awww shucks, no more LKS babyface for now. I got used to you and Ron looking like a couple of good-looking peeps, now you look older than me.

Hehe.


My thesis went well, but I was nearly on the verge of vomiting due to anxiety along the way of doing it.

We managed to make the defense by last week, around February 27. The panelists only suggested very minor revisions, which I was truly glad about.

But the bookbinding hell. Dammit. If I am to be told, the bookbinders of Gastambide in Manila really were a bunch of dimwitted sods who are after only the money. Hope they choke on it. They even managed to misspell our thesis title. The part “An Algorithm-based…”, they removed a space so that it looked like “Analgorithm-based”, which sounded gross. It made me so mad I didn’t even want to come back there.

The pedicab drivers of Manila were also a bunch of greedy wieners who were asking too much out of the students. I hope they know what they are doing. They are feeding their kids food bought with swindled money. Those pedicab drivers probably do not have any more conscience either.

We were forced to shell out even more money to re-bookbind our thesis documentation. The Lovelite bookbinders really were heavenly beings sent to us, willingly agreed to rush-bookbind the book for 2 hours. We paid extra for their expedience and kindness.

When we passed it, I was relieved that the thesis ordeal was over. Really f*cking over.

Only two groups in our section managed to pass the thesis requirements on time.

My group’s thesis was an chat/SMS lingo to English translator, BTW. Had to incorporate actual language theories and translation studies and write those into code.


WWE recently created a part of their website which, to me, was surprising and intriguing at the same time.

The “Industry News” part enables wresling news sites to post content in WWE.com, resulting in having TNA updates, ROH bookings and CHIKARA news all posted and viewable for all WWE fans. It’s really weird to see Kurt Angle’s name in WWE after so long being gone.

Probably TNA and ROH wouldn’t mind the free advertising. It’s free anyway.


Nic Belasco got traded again, this time to Coke. Welcoat probably still had some aftertaste of the preseason tryst with Nic.


Some headline news (again) from FARK.com… (I just screened the best ones, credits to FARK please) (If you want the news links, go to www.fark.com and have a good time)
