Rain in March

It's pouring again and the land is drenched to goodness. Unusual, heavy rain has come in March. The climate has been swinging to and fro these past years. Rains in the dry season and scorching days in the rainy months. Even the seasons have become unpredictable.

Unpredictability, that's what makes life so exciting. Things just pop up in front of you and as soon as they come, they go. We never know what comes next so we are always hoping for the better. Even if the future is clouded with uncertainty, we look forward with a clear vision, that is how take hold of our lives and succeed.

Breathing Easier

What is unique in college is you are all on your own. This makes graduation day so much sweeter when you finally taste the glory you have prepared for yourself for the past four or five years.

I'm not really bragging, but finally I'm graduating and I'm bragging about it. Oral exams are still on the way. The past week has been a very suffocating week. With our project still not working even on the exhibit days, my hands were shaking and my thoughts were dreadful. Laboring through nights without sleep, days without food, and moments almost without hope, the robot finally came to life. It's not perfect, some technical glitches exists, but we made it through the ocular examination.

Engrs. Maribong, Sangre, and Palermo finally gave their go signal for us to have our final defense this Monday. Now, I can breath easier. Thanks be to God!

Design Project Calvary

I am typing into my laptop, doing some programming for our design project when suddenly the table seemed to collapse. I held onto the table, my hands were shaking. Was that an earthquake? I sighed, I remember I only slept two hours.

I'm currently in calvary, carrying my cross with our robotic prototype nailed upon it. As I stagger under its weight, the crowd of professors and instructors are jeering at me at the sides. "Hah! You thought Computer Engineering is easy!", "Blasphemer!". They placed upon my forehead a crown of connecting wires, the DC current shorting at my flowing sweat. The sun is high and my vision is getting blurry. The cape of electrical tape they vested me with do not help in the heat.

I'm nearing the top of the hill. Soon I will be crucified. They will ask questions, maddening questions, during that defense. They will hold a mock court, and they will mock us. These professors... My God, My God, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing...

In two weeks time, the end will come. In two weeks time...
