We Passed Thesis A!!

Hurray! We passed our thesis A which was the documentations for our System Thesis. Now, it's off to thesis B for us to develop the system we proposed. We just had some minor revision that we need to settle but we're as good as passed. :) I'd like to thank you guys for the prayers and support. We never expected it to have only minor revisions but we sure want to do our very best. It was a fruitful moment for us. We instantly called our parents to tell the good news. Of course they were as happy as we were. I celebrated last night with a few friends then went home. 

For now, we'll be finishing the revisions then we'll enroll as soon as possible. I'll get to you guys back after, okay? Though I don't leave comments, I hope you guys feel that I always ran into or visit your blogs silently. :D hihi... Once again, thank you and God bless us all! *wink*

Good News And My Absence

It's a nice start for a week to hear some good news, right? Today, we were notified that our defense was moved on Monday. It was supposed to be this Friday but our Thesis professor worried that the lack of sufficient time might affect the quality of our theses. That is the best extension they can offer but we're pretty fine with it. In fact, we're really glad that it was moved even for a few days. A few days would be a lot of help. :) I don't know if I can blog for the next couple of days. I want to concentrate on finishing our thesis. We certainly want to pass and I need to settle my priorities first. I haven't finished my other blogs yet. LOL. So I guess I'll be gone for a while. I hope you guys pray that all of us who are taking our theses will pass. I would really appreciate that. :) *wink* Well, thanks in advance. See you guys soon and God bless us all. :)

Thesis Time-out

Today, 2 of my thesismates, Deej and I went on an adventure to unwind and relax ourselves from the stressful cities of the urban world. We were previously invited by the mother of one of my thesismate to spend the day or night just to have fun and unwind in their home at the province. I have a long story to tell but I'm already tired and sleepy. I also have to go to school tomorrow to work on our thesis. However, I can shed a light by sharing this photo below.

To be continued... See you tomorrow! :)

Sacrifices

Everybody's got priorities. And thus, we have to make sacrifices. We have to weigh certain situations and commitments so we can give way to more important activities.

This week will be very busy for me. The only good thing about today is that my duty was cancelled because something went wrong. I was one of the editors for our IT group ID project, alongside Deej who is also good with Photoshop. We want to share our skills and help our friend who was solely put in-charge of this ID project. We were supposed to make some IDs for the other members but unfortunately, the print quality of the sample ID didn't meet the expectations our group advisers. The colors were different from the design layout as seen in the computer. Therefore, we will continue the process until the new layout is refurbished.

Meanwhile, tomorrow will be the start of our midterm examinations, since I'm studying in a trimester school. It will be from July 26-28. Unfortunately, the concert of Incubus will also be on the 28th! And prior to that, my group and I will be conducting a research at the library of Ateneo De Manila University for our thesis. On the 29th, Friday, we will be attending the NAASCU opening and will also be watching some games. Attendance is a must so we can't argue with that. Plus, we also have to pay Php50(approx. $ 1.17) for the tickets that will be held at the Makati Coliseum. Our proposal defense will be on Saturday and so as my Graphika Manila Conference. Anyway, Graphika Manila is an annual multimedia conference for art and multimedia related employees, students and enthusiasts. Since, our defense will be on Saturday, we have to work overnight again for our thesis on Friday night. Well, that's a lot, right? So let me do a detailed recap.

Tuesday, July 26

- Midterm exam

Wednesday, July 27

- Library research at Ateneo De Manila University (Maybe we'll be spending 5-7hours depending on library hours)

Thursday, July 28

- Midterm exam, 3-5pm

- Incubus Concert, 8pm

Friday, July 29

- NAASCU, 7am

- Overnight, 9pm

Saturday, July 30

- Graphika Manila Conference, 8am

- Thesis Proposal Defense , 1pm

So, what do you think about my schedule for this week? Hectic, isn't it? We all have priorities and we have to make sacrifices. Thus, I choose to prioritize my school activities. Since I haven't purchased my tickets for the concert of Incubus (which I have waited for years and was dying to watch for), I've decided not to watch it anymore and try to rest to gain enough energy for my upcoming commitments. But I have a big problem. I've already bought my tickets for the Graphika conference during their early bird rate period which costs Php1,200 (approx. $28) that originally costs Php1,500 (approx. $35). My problem is that I am having second thoughts now of not attending it but I'm so frustrated with the lost of money from the ticket. This is really annoying specially that our thesis professor said that the defense won't be moved! In despair, I have posted a status on my Facebook account about selling my ticket. I've also texted some of my friends who were with me last year. I just hope they haven't bought tickets yet so I could still sell it. Now let's take a look at my edited schedule.

At least I have some time to rest, right? These sacrifices are just minimal for me because these are only my luxuries. But the only thing that makes it hard for me to let these go is the fact that some people don't consider others' time and prioritize their own leisure. I'm not gonna bring up who I'm pertaining to. If only people know how to manage their time and consider others' time as well. It's just heart aching to know that you manage your schedule as much as possible in order to meet your commitments while others do not.

We Passed!!

It was our title defense earlier this afternoon for the second time because we got rejected for the first time. And clearly, we passed! Yey! We were required to present 3 topics. They approved 2 topics! Wow! They said that we were very different from the last time. They also said that we came prepared and we presented 3 topics instead of 1 unlike before wherein the 2 topics were very good. They found it difficult to choose only 1 for our thesis title even though they approved 2 titles. No matter what, we were very happy that our 2nd chance didn't go to waste. From there on, we will strive hard to pass until our thesis is over. 

After our defense, we changed into our casual clothes and head to the mall to watch Temptation Island. :) hihi... On our way to the school before our defense, we made a deal that if we pass, I'll treat them to a movie. And since I want to watch Temptation Island, we all agreed to watch it. No spoiling but I want to share that it's a movie worth watching. We laughed all throughout the movie. HAHA! We really enjoyed the movie and I felt our laughs coming from our heart due to the happiness of passing our defense. :)

Feeling Down

Despite my continuous luck these past few days, I've finally met something bad. My group and I almost failed our title defense. We need to look for 3 new topics and do a re-defense on Saturday. That's just 1 week! :( Anyway, it is our last chance so we better work hard for it or else we'll fail! (Well, that's what our professor said.) That's why I'm feeling down and sad. I think I also feel depressed but I am struggling to fight these so I won't mess up and do things normally.

It is actually because of my title thesis last Saturday. I haven't got any sleep yet that day but we still proceeded to our school for our defense. My group and I stayed at our groupmate's house to work overnight. I still don't have the mood to tell the whole thing. :( In one of my posts, Mona from workingathome, commented and asked about it. I can't reply to her comment and even to the other comments because of what I'm feeling. I apologize to all of you for that. :(

The thing is that it's just a title defense but the panelists asked too much that it felt like it's already our proposal defense! Unlike the other groups. :( huhu... Oh, well... We'll just work hard for it and pray, pray, pray that we pass. I can't type about it anymore so I guess that's tah-tah for now. *Sigh*
