RANDOM STUFF...

So, it's been weeks since I last had a post here. Anyway, for starters...

1. Pabalik ako sa Manila galing Nueva Ecija noong Biyernes. As usual, inabot kami ng dinner sa NLEX. So Chowking ang pinili ko... So mega pila ganyan. Ung mga sumunod sa akin, noong una, akala ko mga Koreano kasi nga iba ung lengwahe. So deadma. Habang nasa pila, aba, umubo, eh feel na feel pa ng hair particles ko sa batok ang kanyang ubo... (anak ng tinola naman... eh praning pa man din ako ngayon dahil sa A H1N1 virus na yan)... kairita di ba? So deadma. Tapos na akong magbigay ng order ko... so sila naman...

"Uhm, isang order ng lauriat tsaka, BURGER..."

With all my glamour and poise, hahahah! gusto kong lingunin at sabihing "heller? mukha bang jollibee or mcdo ito?" LOL...

So, swabe akong lumingon (kunwari hindi sila ang tinitignan ko)! Ayun, mga pinay pala at iba ang ayos... so may hinala na ako kung ano sila... nang matapos akong kumain, paglabas ko... ayun nga.. tama hinala ko... may mga kaupo silang apat na hapon... =p

2. TRANSFORMERS 2! Alam niyo namang hayok ako sa sine di ba? So kasama ko si L and A na nanood (actually, take two na nila... kung hindi ba naman sila adik... )... So silence.. ganyan, simula na ang sine...

Katabi ko si A at ang katabi ni A ay mag-ina.. kakasimula pa lang ng sine eh humirit na ang nanay: "Si Optimus Prime yan oh"... sa isip-isip ko "nyah! eh hindi siya yan ah!"... eh etong si A, nairita,,, katabi lang niya eh... so sabi niya "Could you lower your voice a little bit...".. So tumahimik...

Pero wait, there's more... nagsalita ulit ung nanay, palingon pa lang si A ng remasbak ang nanay kay A... "Do you mind? I'm talking to my daughter here. Malakas ang sounds eh kaya hindi niya ako marinig..." hindi ko alam kung ilang decibels un pero
rinig iyon, five seats away... hahahaha... ako naman (sa isip-isip ko) "heller? nasa sinehan ka, what do you expect? talagang malakas ang soundz noh!". Mano lang bang mag-whisper with wings siya, di ba?

So, dahil mabait si A, lumipat na lang siya... ako din, lumipat kasi hindi ko matake na ung left ear ko eh naiistorbo... at ung right ear ko.. hindi.. lol!

3. MJ... a lot of posers got out from their shell the moment they knew that the king of pop died... Nasa odyssey kami ni A at L... namimili ng dvds nang makita nila na may isang namimili na panay MJ albums ang hawak... i mean, heller? parang nagpapanic buying ata ang mga tao ngayon...

anyway, moving on... so sabi ni L "hay naku, mga poser talaga oo..." kako, "oh, bakit naman?"... "Ate, kung fan ka na ni MJ noon pa, aba dapat may collection ka na ng album niya noh... hindi ung alam mong namatay eh ayan at nagbibibili ka..."... may point nga... =p

ANG UMAGAW SA AKING UPUAN...

So kaninang umaga, maaga akong naihatid ni manong driver. 1015 am ang aking flight pero 630 am ay nakacheck in na ako. Siyempre, gusto ko as usual, window seat... yan ang benepisyong nakukuha ng mga early birds... pero not until today...

So boarding ganyan, pasok. As usual, excited ako (kahit ubod ang reklamo ko na mahirap ang magbyahe ng magisa). Aba! At nang makita ko ang aking upuan. MAY NAKAUPO NA... So sabi ko "that's my seat, my seat number is 35 K", sumagot ang lalaki "ah, yes, see it's K..." sabay turo sa letrang nakatapat sa kanyang ulo... aba... alam ko .. un nga di ba? K? in short, UPUAN KO YAN... so, dahil mabait ako at ayaw ko ng gulo (dahil nakakasira ng ganda), hinayaan ko siya... so goodbye window seat...

Pero, wait, there's more. I just don't get this "stealing" but also free "annoyance"... Aba, eh di may arm rest ganyan... so dahil ako'y nagbabasa, gusto kong balanse ang aking libro sa kamay, aba! ang lolo mo ay nilagay din ang kamay sa gitnang arm rest! (sa susunod dapat hiwalay talaga ang mga upuan!)... eh di siyempre, nagkiss ang aming mga siko (like, ewwww....).... so dahil irita na nga ako, eh talaga namang sinasagad ang pasyensya ko... so inalis ko ang kamay ko, aba, inalis rin niya! ABA .... mukhang away ata gusto nito... so hinayaan ko.. then maya-maya, nagsalita siya ng mag-isa.. (hindi ko sure kung kausap niya ung tao sa harap)... so ayan... nasagot ang mga katanungan ko...

Pero wag ka, eto pa... eh di siyempre, 5 oras lang tulog ko... kapag ganun, eh ehem.. lubayan si loumeng... so gusto kong matulog ganyan, as in nakukuha ko na tulog ko, aba! close-open ung window... !!!! kaloka talaga... ever!

Wish ko lang... sana hindi ganito pagbalik ko sa Luzon... sana, gwapo na mabait na friendly ang makakatabi ko...

TRAVEL

Masaya ang maglakbay. Ang sumakay sa eroplano. Un nga lang kasi, minsan, ngaragan din, kailangang gumising ng maaga pero ang pinakamasaklap ay ang bumiyahe nang magisa... Wala kang makausap. Pinapatay mo ang oras na nakatunganga ka... Ang mahirap rin kasi minsan kapag nakatanga ka, naprapraning ka rin kasi kung anu-ano ang pwedeng pumasok sa isip mo...

Eh sa may ipod or mp3 naman kaso... mabibingi ka or masisira naman ang tainga mo kung lumagpas ka ng isang oras kakarinig ng kanta.

Eh sa may cellphone, maglaro ka or di kaya magtext? Okey sana kung unli eh kung sa kuripot ako sa load?

Eh sa may libro... eh di magbasa... pwede... un nga lang kasi minsan, ang mga librong gusto kong basahin eh mas malaki pa kaysa sa wallet ko...

Eh kung ung maliit? ah eh.. pwede rin... pero anong libro?

Ganyan ang mga kapraningan ko kung nagbibiyahe ng magisa... Minsan naman gusto kong maging friendly sa seatmate ko... kaso sabi ng tita ko "Don't talk to strangers"... hahahaha... Ah, basta, bahala na nga lang si batman...

Unlike my past birthdays, I have something planned for THE BEST DAY EVER IN MY LIFE... but right now... I have no idea... lol! I mean, when I say plan, plan for myself at least.. it's the only day in the year when I just like to be thinking about myself... hehehe.. anyway, so, first, I'll go get myself enrolled for first semester, submit my grades... then... I really don't know.. well, dinner's planned. That's it... ah! maybe find a SIMS installer somewhere...

WAITING REALLY KILLS...

Indeed. Waiting kills. I have barely two days left before I get into a room with my advisory committee... it's going to be judgment day...

Actually, I don't know how to feel right now... it's like everything's mixed up. I want to bake a cake, I know how to do it, it's just that I don't know if the finished product will be a cake. Well, I know the ingredients right? I mean, one click on the web and I know what to buy... I know what to do... but am not sure if the cake will turn out the way I want it to be...

I have been reading since early May, you know, just trying to recall things that I've learned during the past one year and a half... trying to recall words that have lots of meaning to me and trying to reconcile myself with just sticking to one definition. I've written concepts on manila papers and hung them on my wall. I've been reading articles just to make sure I don't forget the pratical side of what I am suppose to master... I've like exhausted every possible means of making sure I can recall whatever I have learned... and yet.. here comes the time when I go "Am I even reviewing the right thing?".

This thing makes you go nuts literally... We'll at least most, if not all, of my friends attested to this feeling. They keep saying "don't worry, you can make it... no need to review Lou, you'll just get frustrated... " If it were just easy to do this... (*sighs*)...

As I really wait for the day, the more I get anxious... well, I really don't want to get ahead of myself... I received a text message from my adviser right now telling me to review well and I replied to her that am actually going nuts... like my heartbeat is that of someone who jogged 10 laps... then, she just replies.. BE STILL AND KNOW THAT THERE IS GOD... WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER...

It's really comforting to know that even when waiting kills, someone is willing to wait with you...

AS IF IT WAS JUST YESTERDAY...

Today, the sun is shining at its peak. It’s the best time to be merry (not after a week of rain and gloom)... but right now, I feel at my lowest. I want to cry. Again. In silence. It’s one of the days when I get to see myself in the midst of my decisions and the midst of the choices I’ve made.

As if it was just yesterday when I met you, as if it was just yesterday that you sat beside me and asked me this word you barely understood, as if it was yesterday that you kept bugging me to join you for dinner, to go watch a movie, or to do something extraordinary, as if it was yesterday that you held my hand for the first time after so many months of being together, as if it was just yesterday that you stood in my defense over something... as if it was just yesterday that I got to know you inside out. AS IF IT WAS JUST YESTERDAY...

It’s just barely two weeks since you’ve been back, and you say you’re leaving again... and this time, you’ll leave me hanging, not knowing when you will be back. I knew this was coming. That was part of the deal. I had my mind ready for this... I know I will get over it... but guess what, it’s slowly sinking in... that maybe, I CAN’T... you have shown me how life is... how it should be... you taught me how life could surprise me and that all I need is to hang on... you taught me a lot of things... and that I am so grateful.

You were one of the people who have painted my life with colors unknown to men. And I don’t know if in the midst of this painting, I’ll start learning to let go even if it is yet unfinished...

RAIN RAIN GO AWAY...

It's summer and most, if not everyone, dread the heat. Everyone complains (even me) about how the heat just destroy's the momentum of having a "great summer". Then the heavens hear this lamenting and He gives you a dose of rain. Yep, when I say a dose, like it's a dose - non stop rain in short. Then, the vicious cycle of complaining runs its course again... It's too ironic that when something comes, we complain, and when we get the opposite, we still complain. No wonder somtimes, we're just stuck to where we are....

Anyway, so this nostalgic feeling this weather gives me today is just so unbearable.

Why?

1. I feel homesick

2.I just want to be under the sheets (I could enjoy the bedsore this time...)

3. I don't want to go out

4. I could live with eating soup (like forever?)

Too much for being a weather-lover eh?
