RandomSome people think I’m too serious, but I’m not. 
Nobody nobody but you!
For almost a week, the song Nobody by Wonder Girls has been stuck in my head. I keep on watching Nobody videos but this is my favorite so far.
Some people think I’m too serious, but I’m not. Hahaha!
UP Diliman’s Chancellor Sergio Cao announced early this morning that classes in UP Diliman are suspended due to the tropical storm Isang. All offices in the campus shall maintain a skeletal force. Employees living outside the campus are excused from work.
Strong rains and winds have been conquering Metro Manila since last night. As of 5am today, no public storm signal was raised in Metro Manila.
TRIVIA: Tropical Storm Isang is internationally known as Molave, a native Filipino tree and a UP Diliman Dorm.
Anyway, I merged the storm track of PAGASA and Integrated Multi-Agency Tropical Cyclone Forecast and this is what I got:
PAGASA’s projections aren’t bad anyway. I’ve always questioned their credibility, and that’s bad of me. Here are the original maps:
The cool blogger of this blog will soon have interplanetary presence! He’ll have his name not only on Earth, but on Mars, too.
On 2011, my name will be sent to Mars thru NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory Rover. Along with my name are thousands and possibly millions of other names. Martians will now have the chance to decipher Earthling names.
Do you want your name on Mars? Send your name to Mars now before time runs out.
I saw this image from the Internet around two days ago. I still can’t get over it up to now.
Good night.
Last June 1, 2009, Air France Flight 447 fell into the Atlantic Ocean. The fleet used was an Airbus 330, the same equipment used by Philippine Airlines for medium to long haul domestic and international flights.

Happy Independence Day to the Philippines!
The Philippines gained it’s independence from United States of America Spain last June 12, 1988. This means we’re celebrating our country’s 111th year of independence!

In several days is the Nursing Licensure Exam in the Philippines. It will be administered by the Professional Regulation Commission.
For sure, it will be taken by thousands of nursing graduates and retakers around the Philippines. Some of them, with their eagerness to pass the exam, are looking for leakage. In result, other people have become very vigilant to maintain the integrity of the board exam. If you are looking for leaked questions, you can browse around and check websites that offer them.
A message to all takers of June 2009 NLE, do good in the examination. Review, review and review. You can also check out my tips for taking standardized multiple choice exams.
I read about this news in Reuters.
Several hours from now, we will all be ending 2008 — greeting a new year. But hey, we won’t be greeting a New Year at 12:00 midnight and 0.0 seconds. 2008 is extended by one second!
Unlike other leap years in which we add another day to a year, 2008 is something different — a leap second is added. This is a result to the gradually slowing rate of spin of the Earth along its axis.
Countries around the World will be injecting the leap second on the last second of 2008 in UTC (December 31 2008: 23:59:59 UTC). The decision was made by the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service, an international body responsible for adding or removing a second to the World Time based on the Earth’s rotation.
The latest injection of a leap second was last December 31 of 2005. Leap seconds can be injected on the end of the months June or December.
Anyway, how do we describe the time during that instant? December 31, 2008, 11:59:60 pm?
