I am getting married (finally)...

I have often asked by other people when I will be tying the knot. This is one of the many questions which I find really difficult to answer. For one, it is difficult to be certain on issues like marriage in which existing plans change unpredictably. But this time, I can certainly answer that question with much infallibleness -- DECEMBER 29, 2007!

Yes, I am finally getting married. So mark your calendars and save the date for me.

The wedding ceremonies will take place at the St. Bartholomew The Apostle Parish Church, Baao, Camarines Sur at 10:00 A.M., while the reception will follow right away at the Villa Gaite.

Our wedding invites...


































See you there, guys!

Aquarist no more?

All fish in my aquarium died today. How sad....

Certified Aquarist Now

I have always wanted to have an aquarium but my schedule and my living space simply do not provide me the privilege to own one.

And then opportunity came when I found an old aquarium jar at the Physics Department while I was clearing it out last week. Yesterday, I washed the jar and then bought a pair of golden fish. Voila! I already have my first aquarium.

Sadly though, I found that one of the fish was floating dead this morning. So I bought 3 fish as replacement. Now, I've got 4 in the jar! For how long will these fish last in the jar, only time will tell...

First for First

Yesterday, our Classical Mechanics class visited one of the biggest physics labs in the Philippines -- the Enchanted Kingdom! Although EK is just located couple of miles away from Manila and is very accessible, I never really got the chance to visit it and so that trip was my first visit to the park. Incidentally, I was thinking of a subject for my first blog here for weeks already. Then I just thought of making my first visit to EK as the material for my first blog! First for first huh, how about that? hehe

So, what brought graduate students to EK? Aren't we too well-informed that amusement parks practically rely on physics laws to make the amusement park experience truly amusing? Or aren't we too old (relatively though, haha) to enjoy such experience?

But what the heck! Don't we deserve some time to enjoy good things that physics brings other than the headaches that we get from studying it? Haha. Anyways, I hope I will have the time to give next time my personal assessment of the different rides available at EK. I don't have much time today since we are already preparing for our final examinations next week.

So let me just share some more of our pictures.
