| Merry Christmas! |
Apologies Readers, for I didnt post here for quite sometime. The reason why? Read my post.
December 21, 2006
A great day for most UIC students but not for us, 1st years in the IT course. Know why? Lets just say that, its was the moment of truth - such dark times indeed. It was our periodical exam in Programming 2, and it was a no assignment, no exam Examination, and the assignment was quite hard.
But still, most of us got it. So, on with our study and memorization.. Then the time came, it was 5:00 in the afternoon and it lasted for two hours. The examination was quite easy but increadibly hard (hard to get??).
And "ang hatol ng maestro" *Drum Rolls* 16 passed.. out of maybe 90? I was one of the passers, (yey Me!)
December 22, 2006
Friday - No Class - Rest day - Sleep and Eat.. Thats all..
December 23, 2006
Same with December 23. except that I went to church to practice our church play.
December 24, 2006
Church day. It was another church day but now is quite special, because it was almost Christmas.. And we had to have our play and we acted twice, for the children and the adult. That sunday, we had two services - our regular church meeting and the christmas eve church service.
December 25, 2006
Christmas Day. Full of Eating and Enjoyment. and also a sad day, for it was the last time I was able to see one of my close friend in church, for he was going to the States.
December 26 - 29, 2006
Rest Day. But I was able to be online in 28 and 29.. At 28, I didnt post because I was quite busy making our bussiness' website found here FaithWorkz. Now I am here, posting this post, sitting here at Basti's Brew Coffee Station and drinking Ice tea.. Oh well..
Till Next time..

| NoseBleed!! |
Whoo.. Look at the time, Im suppose to sleep because tommorow is exam day. But, heck, we have only one exam tommorow and it is Computer Programming 2, the one the makes our nose bleed. Ok, enough for the introduction. Let us now figure out why I made a post on the topic NoseBleed!
This week we, not only me, had continuing nosebleed after each period. Know why? Beacuse its exam week. And not only that, its our preliminary exam, which means it is this exam that we must get a high grade so we will have "sureness" in our grades in the next upcoming midterm and finals. Just this afternoon, one of greatest nosebleed that happened was during Presentation Skills Exam, and I got 76% *Claps* at least I passed, I think not half of the class passed.
Tommorow will be the most nosebleediest nosebleed of all time. Programming, and guess what? No assignment, No exam and our assignment costs us blood from our nose.. Ahahaha..
*Glossary*
NoseBleed = Sunggo = Joke Term
Im Done. Im Done for. |

| Programming and Many More... |
Presenting the Open Lab Programming Team of 2006. Hahaha.
I forgot to make a post yesterday since I was quite busy in Church, because of our upcoming Christmas play which I act as a Father who tells the story of Christmas to my Children. Anyway..
The "Programming Team" picture was taken last saturday at the Open Lab at the University of the Immaculate Conception. I was at UIC last saturday upto 7 in the evening, doing nothing but Programming. As I posted in the previous posts, Found Here!. No one got the answer to the question correctly, so, I dont know what our teacher has in mind, he gave to us the exam as an assignment 'slash' quiz.
So, since no one got it correctly and our mind just melted in the Exam. I need to ask help from higher years, namely Kuya Roy, picture found below. And guess what? We got it.. Yay for me and Kuya Roy (Spelling??)

| Fun-Filled ROTC Saturday |
Saturday.. Hmm..
When I was in high-school, I used to love this day, since it was the day when I wake up at approximately 11:20 am or sometimes 8:00 am when Power Rangers Wild Force was still on, but when it ended thats when I started wakine up at 11. Then wait for my classmates text about where we will be going out, sometimes we will go to any internet cafe and play DoTA or go to the houses of my classmates without even informing them.
But good times always has an end. Now that I am in college, Saturdays always means ROTC, yes, you heard it right. Their is still ROTC excisting and we took the temptation and went for ROTC. Whole day activity, Boring Lectures, Pretty New Officers and Strict Old Officers. But, this saturday is different, we get to have fun with the officers, instead of giving us punishments, we shared stories and laughs, we even got pictures from them. Hahahaha. Fun Saturday ROTC.
This picture is taken just this afternoon. One picture is with Sharon, an officer that is in charge with the band. Two pictures is with Maggie, Delmo's crush, which is an officer of the Alpha Platoon of the Girls.
End of ROTC Post. |

| Finished, just in time.. |
Just this evening, I have made my Presentation Skills quiz 'slash' assignment. I just made it now, because our Microsoft Office was kind of buggy and we had to reinstall it, so we re-installed it just this 10:45 pm. So, my clock started at 11:00 pm and must end about 11:45 pm, so that I can send my assignment, 'just in the nick of time'..
So, I already typed my texts yesterday, so my work is not that loaded. Only thing to make is the tables and the layout. I just cropped the pictures and the table below the texts because I was running out of time, and my time will end if I will continue.
*Whoo* In the nick of time, I finished at exactly 11:47 'UIC GuardHouse time' and 11:57 'UIC ITE Associate Dean's office time. Ahahaha.. Take that.. I uploaded it directly and jumped for Joy..
*Jumps Very High and shouts (but not so loud since it already 11 pm)*
Check out my Presentation Skills Project. Download it below, it is as seen at the ELMS.

| Examination Problem.. |
Wee.. Ill post our examination problem, since all 4 sections under Mr. Ex in Programming 2 had done their examination. And guess what? No one got it correctly. Karlo, almost got it, just some minor problems awaits him.
Well, here it is.
WARNING!!! SEVERE HEAD-ACHE MAY OCCUR!!!
GOOD BYE DUPLICATES!
Write a program that eradicates duplicate integers. The first line is the number of integers to be input, the next lines are the numbers that was input. In the example, 7 is the size of the array and 1, 2, 3, 2, 8, 7 and 1 are the elements of the program.
The output must be "#x - ", where x is the number of the array. Then it will print the numbers eradicating the duplicates. Then the duplicates is shown below.
Exam sample:
Good for you if you got the exam. If not, your just the same with us. :// |

| Meaningless Day... |
*Hahay*
Thursday, what exciting things that usually happens within this day? Hmm.. Nothing.
Thursday is the day that we have a boring math class, very hot filipino class, reporting-full psychology class, hard programming class and a fast-paced presentation skills class*.
*Fast-paced - which I mean is that it only takes us 30 mins to finish the class, instead of 1 hour.
Thursday. Nice day. Lecture Day. Meaningless Day. Boring Post. Just read my next post. |

| History is about to Repeat Itself |
Harry Potter's summer vacation is ended abruptly when Dobby, a house elf, suddenly appears in his bedroom at the dreadful Dursleys, warning him of great danger and that "history is about to repeat itself."
Now, doesnt it seem peculiar why I quoted this paragraph from the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets novel by J.K. Rowling.? I will tell you all about it.
Legends says that many years ago, One teacher that goes by the name of Sir Barrios had given bloody marks to students, some historians says, he still does upto now. And shows no mercy when giving those bloody marks, normally he says that its entirely normal. Now, years ago, this teacher did the unthinkable - he gave bloody marks to all the students in his class. We dont know if its real, but some says that the legend is true and it was proven by the man himself, and shown to us the marks - blood marks.
Legends says that this can happen again. Will it happen or not?
Most of the people of the section D, say so. Due to the test that was given to us, it was pure torture, our brain was working but our intellect wasn't. Most of my classmates didnt quite understand the problem, but some of us did. Most of us had shorter programs which only had includes, couts and cins. Oh well..
Hope the legend will not be repeated, because history might be repeating itself.. |

| Pictures Galore... |
So Before I post my main post for this day. I'll first upload and post the pictures here, in request with the ITE President, Mr. Gregor Banta.
First Picture. Hmm. What can I say? This is me with my blockmate Jeannette Gail Pilapil. When I say block mate, that means we are classmates in all section, figure it out why.
The requestor of this post. Mr. Gregor Banta, I like to omit the Raphael, know why? I just want to, no questions asked.
Thats me and the requestors GirlFriend, ate MGI - Mary Grace Ignacio. She has a blog, link her and drop by Grace BlogWorld.
The next picture is me, with ate Lourds. Quote the word "ate", little knows that this little girl, about the size of a highschooler is 18 years old. Believe it or not.
That girl, Jane, in the picture is my classmate since Elementary Grade 2. The link is broken because she shifted into a new course.
No comment. Just my friends, Jenver, Joanne, Rissa, nothing to do. We waited for Mr. Barrios's class in Presentation skills and we had nothing to do but to take pictures.
Randomness. Nothing to do. Just having fun. Lolz. |

| "I am insulted" - Mr. X |
By: Jopal Matthew Dumanig
A teacher of the Section D in programming 2, bursted into a sermon due to a conflict between the 2 party. Their teacher, which we will hide in the name Mr. X, bursted into a sermon that took about a quarter of an hour.
Story said, that Mr. X, wont allow any of his students to enter the classroom without their assigned assignments in their hands. Due to this policy, only a quarter of the class had entered. But most of three people from this one-fourth of the class had let someone from other schools make their assignment, which they directly said yes.
Due to this, Mr. X, felt insulted because he teached us the basics of array and functions with his best and the 3 persons only let someone make theyre assignment. Oh, well.. Good thing it was presentation skills that was the next subject because the environment again changed and the sermon became laughter..
*Smiles* You know who you are. *Smiles Even More*

| UIC Explosion.. |
By: Jopal Matthew Dumanig
University of the Immaculate Conception (UIC), at Davao City, Philippines, was awaken with a blackout on their territory. This blackout was caused, as said, by a transformer failure. Students who saw the short-circuiting were terrified and shouted, some just kept calm and even one class continued their quiz eventhough it was that class who witnessed the sparks from the transformer.
Students piled up at the School's entrance gate, since the exit gate is where the post was located which contained the failed transformer. Teachers can no longer have their classes since many students directly went home or play computer games after the said event.
Students wished and waited to have no classes tommorow, because of this power failure. The UIC.EDU.PH website was offline for a while and just now, it returned to haunt us all. I think power is back at the University which probablly means, classes are resumed. Sorry for those who wished, there is always a next time. |

| Presentation Skills Class..!! |
Wee..
Im here at UIC's ITRZ, Lab 203. Im having my Presentation Skills Class, with Mr. Exander Barrios as my Professor. We are having a Lecture even though its our lab class, but still, Its OK. I liked the way when Sir Barrios teaches us Presentation Skills.
The Presentation Skills environment is really not like the Programming 2 environment, even though we have the same teacher from both subjects.
*Ahh* Macromedia Flash!! For our presentation skills. I think, Mr. Barrios would really make things hard for my classmates.. Anyway.
Shut down your PC's Na..!! |

| Swift 3D... ~Hardness~ |
*Wooh* - *Huff* *Puff* - *Phew*
Ahh.. First time using Swift 3d. Guess what? That was very hard.
Just when the software opened, it took me several trials just to create a simple circle, after pressing several buttons and inputting several numbers and characters, I finally created a sphere.. *Woot* My First 3d creation on Swift.
Anyway, that was nothing. I was suppose to create something, I dont know what, but my mind was settling on what I would make in Swift 3d, something n00bish. I thought of an Ice cream cone and I made one. It was not quite good, just 3 spheres on top of a cone. *Erased - created a new one*
Then, Since being a pastor's kid, I thought of the Cross. The cross of calvary. Then I started to make it. Just one cross, it took me about 10 minutes (First Time), then on the next 2 crossed just 2-3 minutes. Then the plane where it settled, then the colors, which was pretty easy to make.
My Final Presentation: *Tada* - Dont Laugh. Thats my first serious creation on Swift 3d.
*Laugh* Thats it.. Its not quite good, but Im practicing. Maybe Im going to participate in the LiteRock Technographix next year, if Ever.. *Laugh*

| Church Day.. 2nd sunday in Advent.. |
Whew.. Its again sunday, which probably means that tommorow is Monday and its time for class again. *Waaaahh*
Anyway, this sunday. The church celebrates the 2nd day in Advent - Peace. I dont know if this kind of celebration is also taken up by Catholics, but Its still celebrating the birth of our Lord. So, Hey, Lets celebrate..
So, thats it for the Church Thingy. Now's the fun part. ~Randomness~
This lunch time I was the one who cooked the rice and guess what, the Rice didnt come up too well. Its was not yet cooked thus we cant eat it. So, we bought Rice from Jollibee. Funny but true.
Now, Im going to end this post because we are going to GS to buy some gifts and then practice for the play our church..

| Random-iziness |
Im just going to put random items in this post since I going to concentrate on my Assignment on the Programming 2 class headed by our beloved Mr. Exander T. Barrios.
Let's see.
[*] I already posted on the things all about the Supreme Destiny game and It is the only game that is installed in our PC. ONLY GAME, and I also wished that Warcraft will also be installed, but NO, it can destroy you.. Oh Well..
[*] Im quite proud now with my blog. My old one, now deleted (formerly it was Matthew's World), was really quite ugly and I dont like its layout and thus I only had 4 posts on that blog. Now, I make posts like twice per day. *Well, its an online diary and I suppose I have to put something in it*
[*] After almost 2 weeks of waiting our assignment for the Programming 2 is now posted. *Laugh*, and Im going to work on it after I finish this post of mine. Functions.. Arrays.. (Good thing its just one-dimensional array). Hope I can make it fast enough to sleep this night. I would like to thank our teacher for teaching us much about this programming language *Nods and smiles*..
[*] I dont know whether we had an ROTC class this day, I think we have one but my other mind keeps thinking that we dont. I have never been absent in a ROTC class and even if I do it still feels like I dont take that class. Military polices are very good workers of the ROTC, they sit down, chat, eat and wait until the class is done. I hope we dont have an ROTC class, since its Immaculate Day yesterday. *Crosses Fingers*
[*] My Blog now has a new banner - its Christmas so, I put up a Christmas banner, dont worry my old one will still be used. And from now on, if there is a new holiday, I will also change my banner. Next theme - New Year.
[*] Check out my new program.

| Supreme Destiny.. |
 Supreme Destiny... A game created by E-games, the same game creator that intoduced RAN Online, O2 Jam and other more hit games.
Supreme Destiny is a 3d game that introduces 4 new classes but with the same powers just as the other RPG's has to Offer. Supreme Destiny lets you pick whether you would like to be a Transknight (Swordsman), Foema (Mage), Beastmaster (New Class!!!) and Huntress (Hunter)..
Anyways.. That the introduction..
Here is my story...
I have been watching some of my classmates and friends play RAN Online for such a time now and I too thought that I will also play that game. While trying to seatch the e-games website for the Full Client of RAN Online - it was a whooping 500 MB installer. I wont download it, and if I would, I would return to my noobish self since I dont know how to play the game. Oh well...
Thats the time when I saw the Supreme Destiny advertisement, and they are still in beta. If this were to be popular then my character will then be useful.. *Evil Laugh*.. Anyways, I created an account and got to be level 15 in less than an hour, thanks to their x2 format..
Thats it for now..
Im just encouraging everyone to play Supreme Destiny and have fun.

| Early Morning Friday |
As a mentioned in my previous post, this friday we were supposed to go school at exactly 5:00-5:50 am. Me and my friends had a talk if we will go or not, our plan was to go. *Early Morning*
I alarmed my cellphone at exactly 4:30 am, it woke me up but I got up from bed almost 5:00 am. I directly got to my daily routine, only now, faster. Then I had a thought whether I could get a taxi going to the school. Luckily, one taxi got my attention, It was just infront of me *Laugh*.
While I was going to school, I saw many taxi's and jeepney's that has UICians in them. Taxi's piled up at the UIC entrance and students also piled up as time went by. Me and my friends gathered in one spot and talked until the procession started.
Now, what happens when you wake up early in the Morning, you dont eat breakfast and you walk 1 kilometer? *Collapse* But, luckily, I saw only one who collapsed, Thank God!
We walked from the School to the San Pedro Cathedral. As we arrived outside the cathedral, we started to sit at the park since our feet are killing us. Then we went inside the cathedral to find a seat and guess what? we found no seat for us. Oh well, we'll just sit outside. But not for long, we went to Taps to eat breakfast, good thing really, since I was really starving.
Then we waited if there was another attendance for us. We waited and nothing happened, there was no attendance. *Oh Well*..
After that, we went to the annex campus just to drink water and off to Jimbers, where we played computer games for 5 hours. *Oh the beauty of 10 per hour*
Thats it. Nothing more, nothing less. |

| No Class Tomorrow..! Announcement Controversy.. |
What a ring it made to my mind, when I heard the announcement saying "There will be no class on Friday".. I was really happy for that announcement (and who wouldnt be?). I began to really like the fact that I am in a Catholic school, because of its many holiday seasons...
But there is one thing that really made us feel down. The announcement sounded like this, "On Friday, all students must be at the school campus at 5:00-5:50 am", (AM..!! MORNING.!! THAT EARLY..!!) those were the words that came from our mouths and mind. I mean, 7:00 am was too early for us and theyll make it 5:00 am, I mean, should we really go? I am not a catholic and also some of my friends.
Then below that announcement, was a sentence that says "None-Catholics are still required to go", can they read our minds? *Slaps Myself* Of course not. But maybe would could NOT go, I mean, maybe if most of us will not go, then its OK.
The announcement then had a last and final word. -OSAD.. OSAD? The Student Affairs? Who could resist that office, I mean, MR. GIVE-ME-YOUR-ID-NO-QUESTIONS-ASKED is in that office. Oh well, maybe, most of us will sleep eary tonight. Or sleep at the mass...
Who knows? Only time could tell...

| Why the Blog name?? |
Why the Blog name?
That question has been bugging my Yahoo Messenger! for such a while now. Since its at YM! that I advertise my blog. Then almost those people who viewed my blog had questions on why I picked that name: "The Moonlight Shines Upon..."
The answer to that question will be answered below:
"The Moonlight Shines Upon...", is the short summarized version of Luna Moonfang's, a character of DOTA, sayings: "The Moonlight Shines upon the Guilty and the Innocent Alike", which can be read below my blog.
Luna Moonfang was the first character that I used in Defense of the Ancients (DOTA) game. Then I like what she says, hence: The name of my Blog..

| Mondays with Me.. |
Hello there,
Im back and Im still here..
Monday, usual mondays. I get up from bed early since my class starts at 7:30 am, and that class is no ordinary class, its one of our major subjects: Presentation Skills. Though presentation skills is pretty easy, some of my classmates dont even know some tools in the Microsoft Environment. Well, thats why they took up IT, aint it?
Carrying on, the thing that I really liked this day is during our Computer Programming 2 class. Our teacher, Mr. Exander, teaches us the basics of the One Dimensional Array then after which gave us a hands-on quiz. He gave us a timeframe of 1 hour and 15 minutes (such time...).
After which, I finished the program in less than the given time. And furthermore, I was the only one who finished the program. *Evil Laugh*, but still, it was still a duty of mine to help those in need. *Phew*, Monday's done. Bring it on Tuesday.!
That's it for now. Peace out. |

Patience...
Such a word, a very small eight letter word.
If you know the show Boiling points, you will directly know what I mean. Never could one person think that he/she could win a hundred bucks just by being patient..
Well, as for my case, I, too, won myself something. I held on to my Smart Amazing Phone 1, for almost 2 years now. It still works but its kind of defective, like, when I answer a call, it turns off automatically.. Or when everytime I turn on my cellphone it sends an instant message to one of my classmate..
Carrying on... I finally have a new cellphone, a N70, one of my dream cellphone.. Now, its finally mine.. *Evil Laugh*
Well, thats it for now.. *Chill* |
