It isn't the special things we do that gets most cherished.
Often, it's the little things we do, those things that we don't even notice, that carry the most weight. |

I can't seem to stop breaking them...
(It's ironic that I still stand by my decision, even though it's as easy to break.) |

Pinaalala sa akin ni Em-boy kagabi:
The Missing Piece meets the Big O - libro na dinala ni Jason (?) sa tambayan back in the AS Lobby days.
It's the book that had the most influence on me in terms of how I look at friendships and relationships in general. |

Two years ago, last Monday, an explosion occurred at the basement of the now under-renovation Glorietta 2.
However, its anniversary was largely ignored because of the partially foiled armed robbery at the nearby Greebelt 5.

Funny how people tend to forget things when faced with newer and more exciting ones. Even I myself forgot the full reason why October is such a special month for me.
...or was it because I was trying to push it to the back of my consciousness? |

| riding the wave |
[Oct. 18th, 2009|02:47 am] |
Been trying out Google Wave these past few weeks. Finally been able to make a Robot and a Gadget.
Robot: Watexy (Java Port)
Address: watexy-java@appspot.com
It's a robot that automatically converts LaTeX text into images. Showed me how woefully inadequate the tutorial and API docs are.
Gadget: Pick Up Sticks
XML: http://wave.bryanbibat.com/pick-up-sticks-beta.xml
Basic pick-up sticks game. Showed me how asynchronous the platform is. Will have to overhaul the program to use functional programming techniques (which work well in asynchronous mode). |

| TRC timeline map up |
[Oct. 8th, 2009|04:00 am] |
Posted a timeline map of TRC's convoluted plot over at CRC.
It's hit-whoring, I know, but to be fair my diagram's probably one of the better ones out there. |

Tuesday:
Volunteer work from 10 AM - 8 PM at Whitespace 2314.
Packed goods in the morning, eventually progressed to carrying boxes and a couple of sacks of rice. Had to shout out orders often because of the sucky management.
Ended the day in pack-passing relays. Passed around 2,000 packs.
Didn't realize that I had skipped lunch and had not had dinner until that time.
Injuries:
Got a scrape in my right index finger. Fingers also hurt after grabbing thousands of packs and ripping open dozens of cartons.
Biceps surprisingly did not get DOMS even after lifting thousands of packs. DOMS hit my lower back hard (after all those heavy lifting/grabbing packs off the ground) and also hit my thighs (after standing for over 10 hours).
Lost my voice due to shouting and dehydration.

Yesterday:
Went to RFM gym. Saw the piles of packed goods neatly lined up and the 50+ people already there (and increasing every half hour from new batches of students).
Volunteered to repack those with torn packs in the current relay line, something that I also experienced the day before (blame the tear-prone bags). Repacked around 20.
Decided that the place wasn't as undermanned as they are saying (I've seen much worse: Whitespace AM the day before), and went to Balay Expo.
Expo had more people. =/
Decided to go home instead.

Google Wave accounts will be given away tonight to those who signed up for the preview.
My wave address is bryan_bibat@wavesandbox.com bryan.bibat@googlewave.com for those interested in adding me as a contact.
[edit: apparently, we'll be receiving normal accounts later. oooh... I get to invite people... :D]

As I predicted, TRC ended like Rayearth:
Denouement? What denouement? XP |

Sorry, no musings tonight. Brain too focused because of Layton. |

Undersea cables cut = not motivated to write a musings post.
Will probably go out and buy the UD3R motherboard tomorrow so I could do the transfer while the lines are being repaired. |

No musings / daily CRC entries for tonight. Need to rest my brain after finishing Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor without a FAQ or walkthrough. Write-up later.
In the meantime, here's a short post on this week's Nico Nico Douga LSS video.
