Not entirely happy with some people on my panel but I should be happy that I’m now on to the next step and the work involved looks like a lot of fun. I rewrite my introduction now. relaxing
See more progress on: finish my masters thesis

hey there, how ya doin'
I haven't blogged here lately, and since most of my friends have been blogging on their blogs, I got a bit inggit and here I am.
Today is a hectic day. Starting from late last night, when Lucas finally installed his software for editing videos into Lucy (Lucas' desktop PC) and we spent the next six hours editing the video that is required to accompany the paper I'm delivering in China next week. It's not perfect, but it will do. There's so much hassle that was involved in the making of this video, starting from requesting the clips from the CCP, but I don't want to worry about it anymore, so there. It's a bit long, I guess, especially the clips of my dad's choreographies. Lucas said, "Isn't it a bit too long?" I said, "Okay lang. Anong magagawa ng mga Intsik?" To which he said, "Nanunura ang mga Intsik no!" Haha. Apologies to all Beloved Intsiks in the audience.
Now I'm tweaking and fine tuning my paper so that it will be perfect and sync with the video, but when I tested it a short while ago, I was over by four minutes (it should be 30 only). I'll have to practice again, and figure out when to come in so that I don't pause for the videos too long.
I was a bit harassed also because Charlie Brown (the main family desktop) is being wishy-washy again, hanging all the time, etc. This sucks because the printer and scanner are connected to it. So I can't really print stuff out. Mom says to just print the paper out in China. I feel like I'm going to war without my chain mail and broadsword.
I'm bringing Linus (my laptop) and Dad's bringing Snoopy (his laptop). But it just doesn't feel the same as having the paper on paper, in hard copy, and having several copies for the other delegates. And I was so anal about the lay-out of my paper too.
I have to pack and I have to shower. So many concerns!
Generally though, I feel like my life is going exactly where it's supposed to. Despite the heat and the hassles and the near-migraine that's threatening me, I'm quite happy.
