.... stay happy but take life seriously

... met a friend from my engineering back from Philippines ... as usual FB do connect people no matter what ... social networking sites are of great help in this matter ... so this pinoy friend of mine found me in FB and send me the friend request. Then we started talking with the help of this litle messenger FB has provided in its site ... quite useful I should say ...

... he reminded me of me back then ... 8 years back ... and I realize that I am still the same ... funny ... never serious ... making people laugh ... the exact word he used is "joker" ... then he added -  never change ey, stay happy always ... which I have been hearing ever since ... don't even remember since when ... and truly I hardly changed. I do not even know how to get serious and times I find myself left behind with no clue what am I serious for ... which when I told him, he goes like - stay happy but take life seriously ... God damnit ... really a huge sentence for me ... I couldn't even possibly imagine a serious life for myself ... 

... what is there to be serious about, when you know nothing last forever and you are loosing your moment living for the life you do know even know if will ever be there .... is it only me thinking this way???? 

... how my spring break passing by ...

... had a rigorously tiring day yesterday and in contrary stayed completely idle today. I and some other friends helped in moving EE department from the old building to the new one. They planned this move in the spring break to utilize the off-school time but didn't manage to get enough people to help. Although, school movers are hired for the task, they needed more manpower to complete it as per schedule. 

... fortunately or unfortunately, I always get to do most tiring, risky yet exciting task -and this time I get to be the harness guy, hooked on the railing of the fork-lift, which will lift me upto the window at second floor so that I could catch the boxes from inside and load on to the lift. And the boxes will be unloaded at the other end to be carried to the new building. Should put some pictures ... Dr. Helder did take lots of pictures ... will see ...

... and today, what I did was slept slept and slept again .... didn't even get up from my bed for breakfast and lunch ... as if I ever have those ... lol ... planned for swimming in the evening but the pool already closed by the time we reached there ... all the risk coming there in blizzard and going back getting nothing ...nah .... lets play basketball - Sadhu wanted to from the beginning ... ani ta ... babal kheliyo ... and I am tired once again .... felt good though 

... Good News ... me KAKA from today!!!!

... joy found no bounds to know that I became KAKA(uncle) today ... though it was a week earlier than expectation ... I am very much excited to hear it ... I did told my sister-in-law few days back to hurry up, but didn't know that my niece heard it .... lol ... I am undoubtely happiest after a long time ... just regret that I am not there to hold the little angel in my arms and plant a kiss on his forehead ...  

... I got the info couple of hours late since I was in the Post-Nepal Nite party and in excitement I couldn't even remember my brother's mobile number ... I was so impatient to hear them and I kept calling all other numbers I remember ... kwwaaaa kwwaaaa were the voices I heard as mum let me hear him ... just wish I was there to see him ... 

... now since he is also born in the month of March - he shares same zodiac as mine ... I just wish he gets all the good qualities being a Piscean - 

Imaginative and sensitive

Compassionate and kind

Selfless and unworldly

Intuitive and sympathetic

 ... and will certainly be able to negate all shadowed parts ... a ceaseless blessings for him ... 

...spring break weekend !!!

... couldn't sleep without writing anything - planned well for the weekend -  beer, movie, halla salla ... and unexpectedly the plan did go as it suppose to ... a barrel of Heineken was bought from Wallmart since Rojan and Roman both were in mood and I agreed for the same as well ... but the issue was with time, since we have only an hour and half to prepare and finish our dinner to meet the movie time ...

... "WATCHMAN" was the movie - thought it would be an exciting and thrilling to watch the movies with so many superheroes. Made me sleep right there at the begining and watched 2 other movies partially inbetween. All in all, I wachted 3 movies in 2:30 hours today - Watchman, New in Town and Slumdog Millionaire. 

... guys are having fun in apt#5, drinking, singing and dancing ... long weekend is here and they need surely no other reasons to enjoy the weekend thinking how we gonna spend the week long spring break here in Brookings. It is hard to pass time on holidays here. You feel like in prison with out any bars and locks - no where to go, nothing to do ..... surely I will go crazy if don't think about it ... 

.... good to have an option of sleeping, but how much????

... ya ya ... a week long break now

... had to admit, I am much relaxed today. These pressures of tough exams and feeling of not doing well on those really bring down ones mood. The test was for 100 minutes and I was out of the room after 140 minutes - not something good to brag about though, still just wanted to let know that it really took heck of time. Prof was cool enough to extend the time .... just wished if the test was equally cool too ... swear my hands were prespiring all the time during exam that I had to wipe it off every now and then ...

... aba aauncha kura, what now - in the verge of a week long spring break -  as usual, am sure will stay idle. Free times always make me dull and lazy -  as if I am not at other times ... lol ... just get more reasons and excuses to stay up late, sleep long and watch movie ... lets hope I will find some good use of the time in this break ... oh ya will help in shifting our department to new building - see something useful ... 

... okie then .... keep cool!

... 2 down, 1 yet to go ...

... bhanda bhandai aja ko din ni sakyo - ye rite, d day is over. Done with a quiz and an exam. Yet not relaxed, since have another one to go tomorrow - assumably the tougher one. Had lots of tidious schedules in my life, but everytime I face another, it seems to be new and had to rediscover once again how did or do I cope with it.

... oh dear, does anyone still think study is fun???

... hehehe padheko re

... for the first time after I came to Amrika, I studied this much. Wow... bhannai paryo .... whole day I was in room staring those pages which I filled up in last one and half month , not just trying to understand the subject matter but what really did I write all these times .... my eyes are burning red and now couldn't dare to keep them open anymore ... 

... irony is I studied for the test which is on Thursday and didn't reviewed even once for the test and a quiz tomorrow ... wateve ....

... writing yet another WAHIYAT blog ...

... can consider another "yestai nai ho" deed - tried to learn MSSQL 2008, if not much at least to create database and make few entries to the table and do some queries .. hmmm not bad actually. Had 3 classes in the morning and as usual, just couldn't keep my eyes open. Thank GOD, optical lab went well and we got all the required result and completed it within a couple of hours. Heard that another section didn't even finish the first stage and will continue it next week again - that means we got a week off, isn't that fantabulous?

Pizza party by Dr. Helder was fun, although couldn't eat more than 2 pieces. Seemingly only my tron lab will be moved to new building this spring break from Crothers, what the heck - new new new all new - good news as well, hoina ta? 

... holding the same mood, went for swimming today. 12ft was just waiting for us - calm and cool. Was it due to long gap or else, I inhaled probably a cup full of water today from the pool .. choking most of the time. Infact the under-water dive worked well and breathing wasn't a problem but free-style wasn't in rythm for me today ... anyways... survived and here writing yet another wahiyat blog ...

yeah forgot to mention about risky driving once again - damn the engine stopped in middle of the road - what else can you expect from a car named TRUCK!!! 

... need to do what yet to be done!

... feeling unexpectedly tired since last few days. Wasn't sure if I would do it when I said 'YES' as they asked me to coordinate the Entertainment Committee for coming Nepal Nite '09. Looking at the faces staring at me with positive response, I could not deny it. And now here I am compelling myself to fulfill the responsibility and accomplish a successful Nite. 

I knew from the beginning that it would be a daunting task to get people ready to work on will, and not to my surprise it is happening. I won't blame them too. Being a student, working our a$$-off completing assignments, preparing for quizes, tests and labs, hardly anyone could think of taking out time to dance, sing or do a drama expecting nothing else but mere a feeling of successful organization of Nepal Nite, which we do take as a pride being alien in foreign land. As an old saying "Jaba paryo raati, aani budhi taati", we have tendency to do things in the eleventh hour only. We are running out of time, but things are getting in shape now, still need lot more effort to get there.

For last three days, I have been practicing a Nepali group dance till 2AM in the morning. Guys are putting great effort to catch up with the steps and rythm. Offcourse none of us are professional dancers, yet we can't ignore the fact that once in stage you got to give the best performance  to receive applauds. So far so good ... lets keep doing the best we can and hope things go merrier as we move further ....

... feri suru bhayo class haru ...

... ya m back to skul (used to call 'skul' to 'Uni' back in Philippines) again ... don't know if I am really having a good feeling about it ... there was time I thought will not be continuing it and all of sudden I am here again doing same stuffs .... doing assignments, taking quizes, feeling anxious before tests and exams, taking labs - student life used to be fun then. Cetainly, time has changed and me along.

... difficult part being a student again after such a long time that I felt is realizing that you do not have the same brain that you used to have then and your brain is neither keen enough to new stuffs nor good enough to recall old stuffs... No doubt, study always demands hardwork, commitment and proactivity, and to no exception your professional job asks the same too ... then what is the fuss??? If I am able to put good effort for the same in my job then why can't I do the same for study? Is it so because I feel that I want to but do not feel that I really need to?

... khai ke ho ke ho yaar !!!!

... trying to bounce back !!!

... told ya, this is how I am. Took me a month once again for a come back. ... hmmm ... thinking about excuses - I was on the road... been traveling around NewYork and few other states near by for last 3 weeks. I didn't realize I will be gone for this much of time ... and will be covering more than 5-6 states during this visit.

... certainly, my trips are never planned and same happened this time as well. Lucky enough I was to find friends to accomodate and accompany me and had loads of fun being busy on the road ... hmm lets make list of the states I covered this time - started from SOUTH DAKOTA to MINNESOTA, flew to NEW YORK, small visit to Danbury, CONNECTICUT, went to WASHINGTON DC, spend a nite in VIRGINIA, got back to PENNSYLVANIA, celebrated new year eve in MARYLAND and spend rest of the time in NEW JERSEY ... should post a travel blog now ....

... if not mistaken, I used to have a travel blog too - updated couple and .... as usual.
