We in the CMC Student Council have been sem-planning for the past two whole days at the student council office. As of now, I’m still a little spaced out, since we planned a lot of things and I’m defocused with the enthusiastic and optimistic feeling of wanting to think of everything at the same time.

I’m going to enjoy working with my councilmates. It’s going to be a hectic summer and first semester for us. Hopefully, it won’t be too lethal.

It’s lamentable that the election cheating issue has not found proper closure. To those who refuse to believe there was massive cheating in the 2004 Presidential elections in favor of Gloria Arroyo, here are ten factual and statistical reasons to doubt its results. Oh come on.

You know how the government destroys patches of road that looks perfectly fine and then rebuilding them again? They call that maintenance. I see that as wasting government funds in projects that reek in corruption. It also causes traffic, even at the country’s widest avenue, even if kids are already off from school. My supposed 5-minute jeepney ride was prolonged to a 40-minute wait inside a crowded jeepney on a hot and humid summer night. Anyway, there was also a sign in the jeepney which read, “Full the string to stop.” I wanted to take a picture of it, but was wary of taking out my digital SLR just like that.

I came from school, from a student council-faculty meeting with the new college dean. It was a long two-hour meeting but it was fruitful. I’m really excited to help in making things work in Mass Comm even with the lack of capital funds among other problems. (Yea, yea, initial optimism and all that). Me and my colleagues are semplanning the student council activities tomorrow too.

Before that (okay, I’m backtracking now), I was at Jerwin’s apartment for the re-dubbing of their thesis short film. It was the first time for me to watch the final cut. Ang galing! The musical score was great. [Will it sound too self-serving for me if I say I am satisfied with my performance as well? Even Ma'm Gigi recognized my acting at the student council-faculty meeting].

And before that, I came from Bulacan, where I spent the first half of the day helping out in our store. I commuted by myself, for the second time, without much hassle. But I shouldn’t get used to it, or else my mom will ask me to commute all the time!

Wow. If being a clothing line’s image model and being sponsored to go on a luxury cruise isn’t enough, popular Singaporean blogger Xiaxue, now even gets to be given a free mp3 & video player for just being well, a popular blogger!

Trivia: Tomorrow Wednesday, at two minutes & three seconds after 1 AM, the time & date will be 01:02:03, 04/05/06. [Sorry, the trivia amused me.]

Picture spamming alert! As requested by some of my friends, here are more pictures from Eka’s debut. If you want more, I uploaded them all in my gallery.

One of the unexpected things I found out from my survey is that bikoy.net has more male readers/visitors than female ones. After two weeks of surveying, the split was 57.3% to 42.7%. During the first week, the split was even at 70-30. Other than that, as expected, majority of you are young (74% are under 26 year-old), and almost all of you are Filipinos (94.8%). Here’s a more detailed traffic and audience survey report for the first quarter of 2006.

Now, what to do with these data?

While I was going around the store updating our grocery’s list of merchandise, I came across this:

*Snicker* Who would want to have one of these in their mouth?
