Is a third order chemical reaction possible?

as to quote the famous Mirriam Defensor SAntiago, 'i am ballistic! I am fuming with anger!' right now because of our examinations in chemistry.

as i said it a while ago, to dispute the relative truth-based assertion perpetrated by my chem teacher (nevertheless), we cannot move forward preaching that biassed assertion. one more thing, that tragic incident should have been prevented had they presented us a perfectly consistent set of data during our chemistry examination.

i am talikng about rate constant here. perhaps, even non-chemically inclined people can infer what a rate constant means just by looking at its spelling. it says c-o-n-s-t-a-n-t, which simply means not changing.

fortunately for those who tended to adhere to that half truth assertion and unfortunately for those who stood bravely along the grounds that k should maintain itself as a k all throughout the experiment, the half truth did prevail. the assertion is based on the simple fct that a formula for a third order reacction simply does not exist.

the debate ended under the aforementioned circumstances. i lost a total of 25 percent worth of points because of that goddamn value of k. i lost everything under it, the half-life, the concentration, etc.

based on this rationale, i intend to prove that a third order reaction indeed exists in this goddamn world. i hope, really really hope that somebody out there will be able to read this article and be able to join me in this humble struggle of mine.

the triangle's wrath

my midterms examination results were all too much to bear. i was not able to get any score that start with a number nine. what i had was 9 at the end of the number pair, 79 and other numbers near it. at the end of the day, what i have in my mind is the question, how could i have been so dumb.

time and again, i proved my carelessness and stupidity..i failed to notice simple things that worth a lot.

like for example, the regular triangle, an equilateral triangle with a side of 15 cm, i failed to remember the ever important pythagorean theorem that applies in a 30-60-9- triangle like the one given in the examination.
what will i do? i have always been like this? ningas kugon is what you call that in the filipino culture, very good and eager at the start, and like a quantity that is a function of time, that eagerness and goodness failed to maintain its existance as time moves. so the results are always the same -- failed exams, overnight novel reading, and other things other than studying promptly.

haaay,,

how do i interview an engineer

2007-01-22T02:44:00.000-08:00

my life is in shambles..i cannot find a goddamn engineer for me to devour with my inerview,

anyway, i am having this interview not for an engineering subject but for an english one,, (communications). our teacher told us to learn different jargons related to our course, so, here i come with my bagful of interviews for all the engineers out there.

these questions may seem morbid, but taking a closer look will not prove a futile endeavor, especially if the reader is an engineer himself.

1. describe your everyday living as an engineer.

2. how do you, as an engineer, help to improve the economy of your country

3. how does engineering help in an individual's develepmont as a human being

the start is the beginning is the end

today im gonna start a new chapter in my life, not really new..

anyway, this is the objective condition. the midterms exams unleashed its fury just last week and im gonna enumerate my resolutions for the coming prelims and finals. .i hope, i really hope that i will be able to live to the following words.

1. cipher,, live a jang-geum like subservience to eeeevvverything
decipher,, maging humble, matiyaga, masipag, at mahusay

it seems that i can only manage a resolution,, perhaps,, too many a resolution will bring me to nowhere,,

so thats it.
