Kindle
- I didn't "pursue" my original target for work.
- I ended up in a totally different industry.
Okay, I worked as customer support for Amazon.com. I got trained a bit for Amazon.co.uk. The best part or the fun part about that was that I got trained for Kindle support. So yeah, of course we had hands-on stuff with the Kindle latest generation. At first I wished I had one but I realized, nothing can beat the real/physical book.. at least, for me.
- I met new people.
- New people = new friends.
- Someone.
It's amazing how one simple word leads to plenty of other things.
Teehee. Hello boredom, we meet again.

Pre-Work Stress
After Monumento (if all’s good), Makati.
Getting an NBI clearance wasn't stressful, despite the crowd... getting an SSS number was pure stress.

- I used my new green dress for my creative photo.

- Chai had a haircut.
- I was able to encode my subjects.
- BIOTECH is starting to make me unhappy.

Encoding of grades, 18 students harmed?
People have prolly heard about a lot of students failing this semester. I don’t exactly know what to say. All I know is that everyone’s very hopeful that this will turn out to be a joke because it won’t matter if in the end, if it was all a nasty prank.
But why would professors lie to us about something this serious?
Okay, I’m being incoherent and all. Reality bites and tells me in the face that a professor like ours wouldn’t joke about.. grades.
Around eleven students from the third year failed Medical Bacteriology Lab.
Around seven students from the graduating class failed Industrial Microbiology..
Who these students are, we don’t know yet. Eighteen students will be “harmed” in the end but we are all mourning.
1. The anonymity is making everyone freak out.
2. Even if some people know they’re safe in terms of grades, they fear for their friends or thesis groupmates who are potential candidates.
3. Even if some people know they’re safe, they’re still scared because of some inevitable things such as.. error.
4. 5 for a grade isn’t a good thing, duh.

Ketsana at Vietnam, 23 Dead
HANOI, Vietnam – Typhoon Ketsana roared into central Vietnam on Tuesday, killing at least 23 people as it brought flooding and winds of up to 90 mph (144 kph), disaster officials said. Some 170,000 were evacuated from its path.
Ketsana left more than 200 dead across the northern Philippines as a weaker tropical storm.
After gathering strength over the South China Sea, the typhoon made landfall in midafternoon, about 37 miles (60 kilometers) south of Danang, according to the National Weather Center.
Two people in Quang Nam province were killed by falling trees, and another died when struck by a power line, said Nguyen Minh Tuan, a provincial disaster official.
"The rivers are rising and many homes are flooded, and several mountainous districts have been isolated by mudslides," Tuan said.
Quang Nam is the home of the ancient city of Hoi An, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Another three died in Thua Thien Hue province, disaster official Le Minh said. A man was killed by a falling tree, a woman died in floodwaters and a 3-year-old drowned in a flooded home.
As the storm moved inland towards Laos, nine people died in Kon Tum province in the Central Highlands, including a family of five whose house was buried in a mudslide, disaster official Nguyen Van Vy said.
Deaths were also reported in Danang and the province of Binh Dinh and Quang Ngai.
Authorities evacuated 170,000 people from six central provinces as the typhoon approached and heavy winds began lashing Vietnam's central coast in the morning, officials said.
Rains and heavy winds began lashing the Vietnam coast Tuesday morning, knocking out electricity in some places.
"There's a blackout across our entire province," said Truong Ngoc Nhi, vice governor of Quang Ngai province, south of Danang. "Many streets are strewn with fallen trees and utility poles. It looks like a battlefield."
Vietnam Airlines canceled all flights to the tourist destinations of Danang and Hue.
