procrastinating

I'm at school at the moment.
Alone.
Semi-studying.
And half asleep.

The sun is shining and inviting me to go outside and play.
I can even hear the wind call my name.

But then I remembered, "all play and no work makes me stupid".
Or something like that.

I will resume studying.
Endocrine system. Check.
Neurologic disorders. Check.

Breathe in. Out. Repeat.

Every thought is distracting.

Lunch. Snack. Yesterday. Tomorrow. Friend. Weekend. Pictures.

Ack.
Sigh.
Ah yes, repeat the cycle.

talk, talk, think

girl: Is he cute?
boy: Umm... I don't know.
girl: It's a simple question - is he cute?
boy: I really don't know.
girl: Are you not secure about your masculinity that you can't even answer a simple question?
boy: I just don't know.
girl: Really! Is he cute?!
boy: Fine. I guess he is.
girl: Was that so hard? *sigh*

-----------------

girl: I'm returning this book and I would like to pay for my fines.
librarian: Okay. Can I have your card? [scans the card] That will be $3.50.
girl: [relieved and hands a $20 bill] Here you go.
librarian: [looks at bill and computer] Don't you have change?
girl: Not really.
librarian: [looks at computer more] Can't you pay it later?
girl: [irritated] I guess.
[walks away puzzled]

-----------------

girl: [thinking] Did he just say that...? But, I thought. Errr. Wow. Wait...but I swear he mentioned that... I guess not? Hmmm. Should I say something? Probably not. But what if ... ?

-----------------

girl: Do you want me to ask you permission if I go somewhere?
boy: Yeah...
girl: You're kidding right? I don't even ask my parents for permission when I go out. I just tell them.
boy: Well, I'm you're boyfriend.
girl: So? [giggling]
boy: How about just holidays and long weekends? What if I have plans.
girl: The key word there is if YOU have plans. You can tell me and then we'll go from there. How's that?
boy: [frustrated]

---------------

I can't stop listening to Yakap sa Dilim and Nakapagtataka.
I went through the Cardiac and Pulmonary system questions and realized I'm screwed.
I wore a tank top and a skirt yesterday because it clearly said 28 degrees but it didn't feel like it.
I haven't slept pass 12 since I came back.
I saw Knocked Up for free because of an early screening ticket and it's the funniest movie I've seen lately.

back to normal

After a week of adjusting, reminiscing and endless stories about Philippines, things are slowly settling back to the way it was. You know that saying, "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas"? Well, it applies to my vacation too. I didn't do anything that would qualify as Vegas-y but something that is not what I usually do here.


I have reached my limit for drinking in a month's time. I'm just happy to say that I did not throw up or at least do anything crazy. I am a quiet drunk. My head spins and I tell my friends that I'm sleepy. Of course I woke up with charcoal on my face the last time.




I will definitely miss the view. As chaotic as Manila/the mall etc. can get, I had the chance to marvel at the great view of Tagaytay and the trip to Puerto Azul had to offer. If my card could hold more than 512 mb of pictures, I would have taken more pictures of it.



And of course, the beach. I'm not a big fan of getting a tan but swimming in salty water was something I have looked forward to for a long time. Well, I really don't know how to swim so I stayed close to the shore.

This will probably be my last entry about Philippines. I have yet to read all of Bob Ong's books...errr. I meant I have yet to study for my RN exam that is two weeks from now. Wish me luck! :$
