who wants good luck?
>> Saturday, February 13
MEEE!
It feels good to stay this late after a long week of sickening exams!
The tests were not that too difficult, I actually got a perfect score in HYDRAULICS :) want evidence?
maybe, it really is the easiest subject in civil engineering. We simply have to memorize one formula; Bernoulli's equation, and the rest can just be derived from it.
I was also able to make myself belong to THE SLIMMERS GYM hahaha:
being a member is better than working out in session, it forces me to wake up as early as 7:am everyday for a sure maximization of time. I just hope to see my body change within that two weeks. :)
This is really an exhausting week, we have made a lot of sleepless review to ensure good scores..and I think most of us did not fail to do so.
I've been doing good since last week. Should I ask God if this is my prize for being a better boy? anyway, I want to thank Him for the good luck. I pray that He would never lose His patience specially when I'm under my evil side :
Tomorrow's gonna be a big day.. gym-mall-UP fair. I'm keeping a strong faith this night, He will let my prayer happen.
GOOD NIGHT DUDES!

Trees That Wood
by UNKNOWN AUTHOR
Once there were three trees on a hill in the woods. They were discussing their hopes and dreams when the first tree said, "Someday I hope to be a treasure chest. I could be filled with gold, silver and precious gems. I could be decorated with intricate carving and everyone would see the beauty."
Then the second tree said, "Someday I will be a mighty ship. I will take kings and queens across the waters and sail to the corners of the world. Everyone will feel safe in me because of the strength of my hull."
Finally the third tree said, "I want to grow to be the tallest and straightest tree in the forest. People will see me on top of the hill and look up to my branches, and think of the heavens and God and how close to them I am reaching. I will be the greatest tree of all time and people will always remember me."
After a few years of praying that their dreams would come true, a group of woodsmen came upon the trees. When one came to the first tree he said, "This looks like a strong tree, I think I should be able to sell the wood to a carpenter" ... and he began cutting it down. The tree was happy, because he knew that the carpenter would make him into a treasure chest.
At the second tree a woodsman said, "This looks like a strong tree, I should be able to sell it to the shipyard." The second tree was happy because he knew he was on his way to becoming a mighty ship.
When the woodsmen came upon the third tree, the tree was frightened because he knew that if they cut him down his dreams would not come true. One of the woodsmen said, "I don't need anything special from my tree so I'll take this one", and he cut it down.
When the first tree arrived at the carpenters, he was made into a feed box for animals. He was then placed in a barn and filled with hay. This was not at all what he had prayed for. The second tree was cut and made into a small fishing boat. His dreams of being a mighty ship and carrying kings had come to an end. The third tree was cut into large pieces and left alone in the dark. The years went by, and the trees forgot about their dreams.
Then one day, a man and woman came to the barn. She gave birth and they placed the baby in the hay in the feed box that was made from the first tree. The man wished that he could have made a crib for the baby, but this manger would have to do. The tree could feel the importance of this event and knew that it had held the greatest treasure of all time. Years later, a group of men got in the fishing boat made from the second tree. One of them was tired and went to sleep. While they were out on the water, a great storm arose and the tree didn't think it was strong enough to keep the men safe. The men woke the sleeping man, and he stood and said "Peace" and the storm stopped. At this time, the tree knew that it had carried the King of Kings in its boat.
Finally, someone came and got the third tree. It was carried through the streets as the people mocked the man who was carrying it. When they came to a stop, the man was nailed to the tree and raised in the air to die at the top of a hill. When Sunday came, the tree came to realize that it was strong enough to stand at the top of the hill and be as close to God as was possible, because Jesus had been crucified on it.
The moral of this story is that when things don't seem to be going your way, always know that God has a plan for you. If you place your trust in Him, He will give you great gifts. Each of the trees got what they wanted, just not in the way they had imagined. We don't always know what God's plans are for us. We just know that His ways are not our ways, but His ways are always best.
dream wedding

Hi guys! wasap! haha. I just want to share something that infrequently occurs in my teenage life, it happened just this week:
real or fake?
I was rushing my walk going to the CE faculty room when I saw this marriage ceremony that was being performed by a fake priest and real couples. haha. I can't stop myself from watching and getting envious. I always asked for this kind of moment my entire life but sadly, it never came.. I really wish we did.. Anyway! haha. We are given so much free time this week, we're able to have time for recreational things like laughing and chatting. I tell you, It's a rarity for us to have time for these things.. we're always trained to compute and compute. haha. I'm sure next week hell days will resume.
I was able to join them in their picture taking! haha.

Earthquake Engineering
>> Monday, February 1
The most recent and destructive earthquake in Haiti has evidently killed many people (and animals also hahaha!).. until now, its effects are still being felt worldwide. We can even see a jam-packed of Haiti-related fund raising projects being campaigned on our news feeds in facebook.. What seemed to attract me was Farmville's way of gathering funds, though I contributed nothing, I still hope that they did not get any part or percentage from it..hmp. I'm just being suspicious for the sake of the victims.
Anyway.. I just want to share the relation of the havoc to my course, BS Civil Engineering.
This earthquake has a destructive power that can be obviously seen by observing the fate of Haiti's presidential palace. With its spaciousness and sparkling white facade, it has already withstood civil wars, military coups, and decades' worth of hurricanes. But in the hours after the earthquake, its collapse was cited as a proof of the severity of the crisis at hand. In the days since, it has come to symbolize something worse: Haiti's government on the verge of a complete meltdown in a country too poor to build even its most central structures properly.
But was it mainly the government's fault?
In our Earthquake Engineering subject, we were given a project by our professor Engr. Edison Dizon (we had to have an overnight of computation at Licel's crib.. It took us almost two weeks to finish the 1st half of the design..) The project is to be made by four students in every group. We were all tasked to design a 6-storey building that should pass the criteria for seismic design.. basically, the building should withstand a high-magnitude earthquake.
As far as I have studied, simply, when an earthquake hits, a building that has sacrificed structural support for the sake of artistry is bound to collapse. It's what engineers call the "soft-story effect".
There have been lots of Civil Engineering students who get fond of teasing Architecture students by means of design knowledge. In the case of the Haiti's Presidential Palace, it is fairly seen that Engineering principles in designing really have a higher importance in construction. Leading us to
a concrete proof that Archi students don't get teased without any basis :) wooh! cheers for the CE DEPARTMENT!! haha.
Finally, another problem is the rampant corruption in Haiti's construction industry. They simply don't enforce any building codes. What do they have? Architectural code? bwahaha.
Anyway, I just don't want to tackle more and tease further the Architecture. My bottom point is, if there's something I really learned from reading articles about Earthquake Engineering, it would be:
"It's a good rule of thumb that earthquakes don't kill people, collapsed buildings do"
That's why we've got Engineers here who have the ability to drastically minimize structural collapse, even in poor regions like Haiti and Philippines, even with severe earthquakes like this. haha!
here are some photos of our designing night:
