First and foremost, to the Almighty Father, for giving us the wisdom, the patience, and the strength we need and for making us believe in ourselves.
To our families, who have constantly supported us in every way they can.
To Doc Chu, we might have been a handful, but hopefully we're out of your hair now. =) Thank you for your enduring guidance as we went along with this project.
To Engr. Yefey Kwan of Petrocorp, for accepting us in your office to entertain our queries.
To Engr. Evarardo "Rading" Salazar of Petrocorp, for helping us in our technical study. The project would not have been realized if not for you.
To Sir Mars Dapit, for making us understand the existence of phase diagrams that we needed for our process.
To GSG, for constantly reminding us that we need to somehow keep up with your fast-paced world - but not affecting us anyway.
To Kiko, for making us realize that sometimes, what is essential is invisible to our eyes - but visible to others.
To Oday, for all the shared info... and yes, "if only words could kill..."
To Papa Jof and Mama Chie, for sharing the same sentiments.
To Alex and Jape, for the lunchdates and lola stories and for always "keeping us posted".
To Marijho and Mister Donut, for keeping us awake.
To our beloved monsters, for giving us something to laugh about even at the toughest times, for trying our patience (but never succeed) and making us feel good about ourselves, even at our lousiest days.
To the Original Cast - Jean, Shirmae, Bim, and Cris, for making it through our "let's do something together" days and hope that someday we would pick up from where we left off...
"This is the product of three young minds who shared many sleepless nights to put together the best of what five years in theUP Department of Chemical Engineering taught them."

It's a hot Sunday afternoon and I'm here in my room, in my bed with my laptop, pretending to watch TV. The best part is... I'm waiting for a call from my boss. (Just in case you didn't realize, I'm sarcastic.) Circle trial was supposed to have started 2 hours ago but as usual, delays in the production are spoiling the rest of my weekend. I should be with my mom and her friend in Glorietta right now but since I was informed earlier that we might have to last til lunch time tomorrow, I decided to pass. Oh well...
I was able to check out my kid cousin's blog last weekend. I thought it was too for-teenagers-stuff-ish (she's just eleven years old!) but not until I saw this and this - just two of the many other links in her site, and mind you, they are all in fifth grade. I'd like to stress FIFTH GRADE!!! Is it just me getting old or is it just a little too much to be talking about being in love and double dates at this age?!?
Most pictures I see in Friendster now are taken at the beach, which keeps reminding me it's really summertime! I wonder if I'll even have time (and moolah!!!) to go somewhere out of town soon. Heard my cousin from the US is coming to visit this May though. I hope we could make serious plans and more importantly, be able to squeeze it in my shejul. =)

The past week has been really rough on me. The other day, it hit me: I'm going through a quarter-life crisis. Nothing seems to go right with the current status of my career. I know life is ironic. I know, too, that at this point every decision I make will affect the rest of my life - precisely why I am so so scared to make a mistake. *sigh* I have to sort through all my baggage, set my CTQ (critical to quality), and finally deal with this once and for all.
So anyway, good thing Jax surprised me with this:
Thanks baby! =) *big big hug*
