Hello Hive frinds and hello everyone! This is @iamscinttwister again, your friendly engineering blogger presenting you with a new blog that would hopefully be worth your precious time, provide you with quality content that offers both knowledge and/ or entertainment. But before we start with the content of today's blog, I would like to extend my greetings and thanks for giving it a chance and reading though this blog, it is much appreciated. I hope that whoever is reading this blog is doing great in life and facing hardships with confidence and perseverance, continue giving it your all!
Today April 20, 2024, I welcome you to my new weekend ganap blog. Here I'll be sharing the highlights on my weekend especially as an Engineering student. I hope you enjoy!
GOOD MORNING GYMRATS
This day started with a first time experience of going to the gym so early in the morning. When I started going to the gym, I go to the gym aroung 1 pm in the after to fit my free tim in my class schedule and when my class schedule change, my gym schedule also follows. Today is really my first time going to the gym so early in the morning, everyone there was strangers to me and it felt like I was in a different gym since the vibes was very difficult. The reason that I went to gym early today is because I got so bored studying BangBang coding control strategy for our line follower car. So I decided to have a short workout inside our room bet felt unsatisfied, knowing that the gym I go to opens aroung 5:30 in the morning, I decided to go there for a quick 30 mins workout before preparing for class.
While I was climbing up the third floor, I notice that there were newly painted plates layed in the stairs. Im so happy to see that they are doing some improvement in there facilities, Im sure that this will grow the gym's customers and improve there experience. I hope that theyll change the floor matting too.
Today's workout session was spontaneous and all I wanted was just a good pump. I decided that Ill just do arm for this quick workout. THe exercise I did was Tricep extensions, tricep push-downs, hammer curls and bicep curls. I basically had 10 seconds rest in all between my sets coz time is not on y side today.
After that workout, I gave myself a few minutes to cool down a bit before walking back to my boarding house. Walking around early in the morning as the sun starts to rise really brings up the mood to have a great day ahead. The people seemed so lively and there still little noise from the cars and motorcycles.
SATURDAY CLASS WITH ELECTRONIC SUBJETCTS
I was up all night trying to study the codes for our line follower. Our instructor for this subject told us that he will be checking the progress with our line follower and he will be asking the memebers of the groupd regarding the components of the line follower and the code being used. My classmate was already done with the programming with our line follower, he's really passionate about too. What the rest of the group need to do is to study the components and program well so that if they are the lucky person to be asked, he will not get fried in his own oil (magisa sa sariling mantika). The picture above is our line following robot, we only bought a robot car kit so that we will not be too troubled with researching the materials and components that going to be used since this is not directly inlined with our course, were electrical engineering students and this topics are the fortay of electronics and computer engineering students. And as expected the groups from other engineering course had there own customized line followers. So here some of the line followers that was able to use the line following track.
This one was simmilar to our line follower car kit. It was already doing well since wehn buying a line follower car kit, a manual is given on how to assemble and code and if all things are done correctly it should work. Here one of those that were custom made my other student, I think they are built different... I mean the movement of their line followers are smooth and would still to a complete turn back if they overshoot the line.
What his actually doing here is calibrating the infrered sensor to have a smoother turn while following the line. To adjust the sensors there a knob or what we call potentionometer that you can turn to adjust the sensibility of the sensors. I think that for all the line followers presented today this by far was the most fascinating.
There a lot of unique line follower design as each of group tried there robot if it would do its job. it was really fun and cool to watch.
This is our instructor explaning to thos who are not using a car kit some things that they need to consider for thet sensors to work properly. And thats what basically happened in our class today, I think the message that he will ask the members question regarding the line follower robot it to keep all memeber in check to learn the process (such as the contruction and coding )in making a line follower. And after that all those group that was done with the checking was allowed to go home.
It's so hooooooot in the pelepeeeeenss!!🔥 I do like clear skies but this heat is just overkill.😅
SEEING MY SISTER AFTER A LONG WHILE
My sister is back for a short vication. To have a context of my topic I'll share you a short backstory. Well I have 4 sibling, 3 older sisters and one younger brother, we are from a below average family until my one of my sister graduated became an electrical engineer (actually the first in the family) and started supporting our family. This sister of mine, you can all her jelly, works abroad and have been giving me finnacial support for my suddies. And know after 4 years or so, she and her husband decided to goback here for a short vication. Of course I was so happy so see my sister again after many years. She has been my role model, thats why now Im also taking the same course as her. So fast forward to today, after my class she called me if I was done cause shes going to treat me to lunch with her husband. Who would turn down free food? Not me though...🤣
MY SISTER TREATS ME TO LUNCH 😋
My sister and her husband decided to eat at Mang Inasal since they got unli rice there and halo-halo for the blazing heat. It was really nice getting to talk to me sister in person again after along time. I mean, she is family and the fact that shes helping me me financially even if the don't have to make me idolize her more. We talked a lot the whole time we were eating.
Why eat with spoon and fork when you got hands? I really like to eat with just hands and I dont even know the reason why. I just feel like I could eat more. Well I need the spoon to break or spread the rice evenly so it can cool faster and I cood eat faster😁.
And after finishing the chicken and 5 servings of rice, its finally time for the halo-holo. It really taste good and refreshing especially this time around where the heat is just unbearable. when al of us was done eating we strolled around the mall looing for things that they needed to buy.
FIRST TIME EVER TO SET FOOT INSIDE STRABUCKS
There were a lot of pastries here that some I cant even pronouce. But it all looked good and most of them looks very sweet too. The place is very aesthetic and the staffs are so nice but thetkept speaking english and tagalog. Bisaya man ko maga badi makasaot raman ko. Maybe Im just new to the place and my ignorance was all over the place.
This nice painting was located near the entrance of the place. It really adds to the vibes, the dollar vibes...
When ordering the food, a lot of words were used and most of them I cant pronouce. So if you wonderting what I ended up hanving, the drink that I got was something called dark caramel somthing ahahaah and an american cheesecake... or something. Guys Im really sorry I felt so much pressure while at the place ahhaahah. My ignorance was on my neck that time, the cheese on the other hand wasnt. I was still so full from the previous meal that I told my sister Ill just get the dirnk and would just share them the cake because I got nowhere left to put it in. 🤣
Although I was vervous and somewhat uncomfortable while at the place, I was really grateful to my sister treating me food ang giving me the opportunity and experience. The things that happened today will forever be in my memories and in my heart.
