I’ve been living in this town for almost 20 years now (though in differing areas), and I’m happy. It would pain me somehow to move out of this place ‘coz this is where I’ve first learned my values. I could live here forever. *Cheesy, eh?*

Today, October 29, 2009, Consolacion celebrates its 138th town fiesta in honor of San Narciso, the patron saint. To all Consolacionanons, happy fiesta!

As an Engineering student, I’ve had enough rounds of mathematics already in college. Algebra, Trigonometry, Analytic Geometry, Differential Calculus, Integral Calculus, Differential Equations, and Advanced Math — I survived the seven of them. I know most of the people hate math. But it’s there. We can’t discard it. Almost all things in this world are governed by mathematical principles. But I’m not saying I love the subject that much, though. I just love the challenge — at times. Hahaha.

I used to think that Algebra is the easiest branch of math. Variables, constants… But no, I find it actually kind of hard especially when they are already used in math word problems. When I can’t solve it alone, I ask some Algebra help from my Chinese friends (they’re undeniably good in math). I just do self study most of the time. But if I had that much difficulty in the subject, I would’ve had some online Algebra tutoring or something.

Math answers are not easy to get. But analysis, smart work, and perseverance will do it all. Start loving, not hating.
