La Virgen Milagrosa

Hey guys! Last Friday, (May 16,2014) we had our last class in our summer class. And last Saturday, we went out to La Virgen Milagrosa, Badoc, Ilocos Norte to have fun and celebrate because we can finally start our summer vacation!

The story behind this saint is that there was a crate (or crates) that washed up on the sea. The fishermen found these crates along the boundary of Badoc and Sinait. In these crates were the Black Nazarene and the La Virgen Milagrosa statues.

Matlab Codes for Numerical Methods.

Hey guys! So I mentioned earlier that I will share the algorithms I programmed. The night before the deadline of checking, some of my friends came over to my house. But before that, we were working on a Fixed Point Iteration code in the afternoon when manong (term used to refer to a male that is older than you, manang for a female.) Karlo asked me to try a code for HIM (get it. lol) In there, it says the we must use an "inline" function. We didn't know both what it was so I searched it over the internets. Turns out it is one of the key in programming these solutions. The other one is the eval() function. I learned that while doing a False Position code.

(I apologize for the code. I couldn't use the blockquote tag because I can't get it to look right.)

First Summer Class: ☑

Hey guys! We can finally have our summer vacation because our classes has officially ended! Hurrah! Last Friday, May 16, 2014 we had our final practical examination in our Numericals, and last Thursday, (May 15) we had our last long exam for ElectroMag.

So how was our summer class? Exciting and partly boring. Exciting because in Numericals, you have to do a LOT of simple and repetitive arithmetic solutions. Sometimes the quiz/exam is solved (in earlier lectures, using different methods), there's this thrill and adrenaline when you push the equals button, crossing your fingers and hoping that you get the same answer. Otherwise you have to carefully inspect your solution and say, "Where the hell did I go wrong?" I said that many times; during seat works and exams. There was this one time that I finally arrived at the 'answer', and upon seeing the problem, I got one variable wrong. And that was 10 minutes before the exam was over. Lol. And boring because our ElectroMag (Electromagnetism) was a report type class. No further elaboration needed.

What is Summer.

Hello fellas! This summer, we will have our first official summer class. Which is kind of a bummer because 3rd year 2nd sem. really takes a lot of a student, having a summer vacation before 4th yr (remember that part where almost all of the class failed in one subject?) would've been nice. I'll endure. It's only until May 19.

So, last April 8, my dad sent a surprise package! Yay! It contained the ice shaver (lol sounds weird), my mother's bangles, a tablet, and a camera. Whoa. Didn't expect those things. Thanks a lot, Dad! :D Since then, I reviewed the videos I downloaded almost a year ago (this is what I did last summer 2013, watched videos in photography lol excited much?) to refresh my knowledge. The camera is a Canon 600D and the tablet is a Lenovo IdeaTab A2107. The camera I asked, but not the tablet. If only I knew, I would've just got a Nintendo 2ds/3ds instead of a tablet. I already have a phone and I am very contented with it. So, with the new camera, I recently got into photography, while learning the basics. As of writing, I am still absorbing the core values.
