Here’s a confession; despite my geeky-ness and the nature of this blog, I suck at math. Yup, ever since I started schooling, mathematics has always been the Achilles’ heel of my supposedly-stellar academic achievements.
There must be something wrong with me but I hate it whenever I solve long mathematical problems like those linear and quadratic [...]

Being in school almost a decade now, there were times that being late for classes really put me into trouble. From being the star of the teacher’s morning sermon, to being subjected to downright public ridicule, the ‘accused’ in school-parent meetings, being school janitor for a day even up to the point of being thrown [...]
In three weeks time, the Pre-liminary exams for this semester will take place meaning that starting tomorrow, things inside the classrooms and the laboratories would shift to a more serious mode and pace. The struggle between academics and extra-curricular work will up a notch, oh my.
Just last Monday, I took my very first long examination [...]
Finally, things have settled down to a more manageable pace at school. Yesterday was the start of the ‘formal’ week of my regular classes and so far, everything has gone by smoothly. Now that I have finalized all my class schedules, planning and managing my work-flow would be much easier and to a great relief [...]
I found this video thanks to Sexy Mom and Sonnie’s Porch. It’s about a project of the ’scholars for the people’ wherein they showcase the possibilities and hope in today’s youth. We’ve heard of this since time immemorial right? So why even bother listening to them? Simply because, whether we like it or not, they [...]
Haven’t been able to really blog regularly for the past two weeks now. My off-line work has just kept on piling up on top of each other. School work is a constant, but the extras-curricular have been the killer. Don’t fret though, I’m still alive.
So where have I been and what have I [...]

It’s been quite a long while since I last posted anything new on this blog which could be attributed to the following:
Busy, busy at the university
The mid-term examinations have just passed and with that some major school stuff has kept my hands full since the last time I updated this blog. A Biology field trip [...]

I’m an activist, Left-leaning and both a history and science geek so the books I’d be mentioning would be quite heavy or boring for some, especially the light and fiction readers. So in no particular oder…
George Orwell’s “The Animal Farm†I was hands down to George’s imagination and story telling talent. It made me understand why my rich schoolmates treated me as such; human when you’re in front of them, but inferior when they are grouped by themselves.
Karl Marx’s “Das Kapitalâ€. It was given to me by my grandfather when I was in grade 6. I barely understood the first chapters that’s why I spent the next pre-highschool summer break to read it over again with a thesaurus and dictionary at hand. I entered highschool a changed teenager; idealistic.

I was so immersed in my own ‘little world’ that my aunt once thought that I had lost my sanity since I was frequently talking to my self while her son, my cousin a year older than me, was all quite playing with his GameBoy (the original model). Years later we would grow up and go to school together, to our family, and my aunt’s amazement, I, who spent my childhood days playing with plastic and wooden blocks and talking to my self in a corner did better and excelled over my cousin who spent his growing up years honing his cut-throat skill of button mashing and a mastery of the GameBoy and other electronic devices like the VHS player and the SEGA console. Don’t forget though that I was the weird one.
