Thesis, graveyard anthem and what my fortune cookie says...
Hell week was over, at least for me.
After almost two months of over staying at the office to do my thesis, the day of reckoning has come complete with a panel of judges and the dean for graduate studies. Although i'm confident about my thesis, there's alway a room for nervousness and it's a big room 'cause i've been shaking the whole day before.

...is the day of my defense. I'm not really sure why i chose thursday for the defense but there's something about Hs.
Well everything was good that day, with only one sure panel on my side it sure went well. Here's a chronology that day:
- 0730 - woke up, remind my panels and adviser for my defense
- 0845 - took MRT at Shaw to Taft, can't help but notice the two people doing the mime; to attract people to taste Homi pancit canton. and feel lucky that i don't have to do that as a job, i knew the feeling 'cause i did the sign langauge at the Xmas party. Humilating but it's for fun, not as a job. No time to shoot without killing sorry no pics.
- 0920 - LRT to UN station
- 0940 - cab to Mapua
- 1000 - 1100 - oral presentation
- 1105 - Verdict: Pass with minor revision (i just have to add a sentence in my scope).
- 1130 - Did my revisions and printing at the graduate studies office (6 pages two copies all for free!.... thrifty me)
- 1200 - have my approval sheet signed, including the dean. (Hey i don't know their protocol eh)
- 1300 - 1600 - the hunt for best rush bookbind, ended at up copytrade in La Salle, can't find a bookbinding service at Mapua.
- 1630 - CDA for a meal.
I can finally hear Verdi's Triumphal March from Adia again. (^_^)!

This has been my anthem for weeks i spent 14 - 16 hours at the office during the pm shift:
"If you can't wake up in the morning
Cause your bed lies vacant at night
If you're lost, hurt, tired or lonely
Can't control it, try as you might" - Something Beautiful by Robbie Williams

Went back to Mapua to submit my hardbound copy of my thesis...
Ate dinner at Karwahe and saw that they have fortune cookies for P3.00, bought two, opened the first one: biblical -> next cookie says:
"When you reach the end of the rope, tie a knot and hang on to it" dedicated to the rest of Batch 1 scholars.
huli na ito, kaya natin ito...
