a long entry


mood :: lethargic
sounds :: foo fighters - learn to fly
random thought :: bakit nung bata ako, when i said 'araw' repeatedly on a cloudy day, umaaraw nga? haha

yesterday and today are like oxymorons. today was almost a bad day for me (konti na lang talaga). first off, the weather. it was sunny this morning. tapos nung papasok nako after lunch (i intentionally enrolled in afternoon subjects kapag mwf so i can 1) sleep late and 2) cram haha) biglang bumuhos yung ulan. it poured hard. akala ko nga may bagyo and i soon found myself wishing they would call off afternoon classes (like that's ever gonna happen). tapos biglang sinabi nung pinsan ko na baha na daw sa harap ng bahay namin. nagtaka ako kasi di naman binabaha yung area namin kaya tinignan ko. ayun na nga. baha. i don't know how'd that happen. siguro nung pinagawa yung mga bagong apartment-type buildings sa harap ng bahay namin may ginawa sila sa drainage. anyway, yun na nga, bigla akong namroblema kung pano ako maglalakad from my house to the trike station. that meant i couldn't wear birks and i had to wear shorts. tapos nagtext si anna. patawang quote. the message goes like this:


You may be caught up in the flow of things...













baka kasi nasa river ka.
or baka baha lang. :)


ang timely haha. i miss the north girls. mai, kelan ba tayo lalabas? :)

i had to get ready for school kasi kung hindi, i'd be tempted to sleep all afternoon (ang sarap pa naman matulog... malamig haha). in an instant i was dressed and i was ready to go to school. kaya lang they wouldn't let me leave without an umbrella. just so you know i wasn't really a big fan of an umbrella because it would require me to bring a bag, and i hardly ever brought a bag ever since i started college... it was either a filecase, a planner or nothing at all. i've had bad experiences whenever i bring a bag to school kasi... my track record: 3 phones stolen. (*cut to a scene last Saturday when i was on my way to a debut cotillion practice with a leng* we were riding a jeepney and suddenly two guys sat beside me... yung tipong naniniksik. kinutuban nako, mentioning my past experiences with my stolen phones. biglang naramdaman ko yung kamay nung other guy sa pocket ko. tinitigan ko silang dalawa then i laid a big fat PI tapos sinabi ko kay leng na ninanakawan ako. and i don't even cuss. i never cuss. pero solido yung pagkasabi ko and i hope 'nasindak' sila. buti na lang bababa na rin kami at walang nakuha sakin). basta i'm not comfortable when i bring a bag to school kasi feeling ko mananakawan uli ako. kaya lang ang lakas ng ulan. so in the end, i HAD to bring my bag for the umbrella. naging extra cautious na lang ako. before i left, my brother told me to go home immediately after class because GMA was going to speak up about a 'major issue' (i'll talk about this a little later). buti na lang humina na yung ulan at nawala na yung baha kaya nakalakad nako papuntang trike station.

when i boarded a bus on my way to school, i took a seat at the farthest row kasi dun na lang may bakante. yes, dun sa row na umuulan dahil sa aircon o kaya naman ay sobrang init at nangangamoy nasusunog na goma. nagbayad ako. the usual "*kung san bababa*, estudyante". tapos nagbayad yung katabi ko. we study in the same school pala. pero di siya nagsabi ng "estudyante". parang ako sa loob-looban ko, sayang naman. he could've saved money (haha look who's talking). on the way to school, you couldn't help but notice things outside (window seat eh) especially the pink mmda urinals... and the men who urinate 5 meters away from them. seryoso. 2 pa sila. ang lapit-lapit lang nila sa urinal but they prefer to do their business in the openess of mother nature. tsk tsk.

i arrived on time (God is good) for my first class of the day (filipi2) and the prof asked us to have a group activity. i love my second subject (actually, last subject) during mwf. ang galing magturo ng prof! he speaks so well about current issues in the country, lalo na on politics. he'd be going like "[in a comic tone] nasanay na ang mga Pilipino sa edsa revolution, sa impeachment of a president.. paulit-ulit na lang.. what if GMA is impeached, sinong papalit.. si kabayan?" and everyone in the class would snicker but at the same time you'd be encouraged to think about things. bigla kong naalala about GMA's public address at 7pm. so when that class ended, i went for the first bus i saw (buti na lang maluwag at hindi tayuan) and i hoped i'd be able to catch the announcement either sa tv ng bus or sa bahay. i ended up not watching the live one at all because of the long line at the trike station. grr talaga. but when i got home, my mom gave me a quick update and told me that GMA had admitted she was indeed the one who was in the controversial wire-tapped convo.

honestly, i don't know what to think. lapse in judgement? hmmm. i guess we'll have to consider a lot of things. di ko alam kung bakit ako ganito. i wasn't like this before... i wasn't too political-minded (can't think of another term). i guess it all started last year. i don't consider myself 'mapulitika' though but i do find a lot of issues within the country and within my university a whole lot interesting now. anyway, going back to the GMA issue, i think i'll have to re-assess the whole situation first before i come up with my own opinion on the matter.

i'm gonna stop now. ang haba. nakakahiya. halatang wala akong magawa (actually, i should be reading a short story for my lit class tomorrow morning.. but what can i say? cramming time na naman). :)
