yay to the world!

finally! i am back home and again, i have eaten something that does not come from some freaking canteen in the well hidden structures behind the big big trees that UP calls canteens. at least, this is another meal where everything actually has taste. finally!

aside from being away for most of the week,everything had been a blast. sunday was no good though, it was a boooooooring commute from cavite to quezon city alone and having my brother's mp3 player made it a whole lot better. but one thing's for sure, and this i can sure anyone who has ridden or plans to ride, it is a good place to learn about filipinos. you just watch them and you'll know something. one is the filipino individualism. usually, this means being responsible for yourself, doing all that you can for the end, which usually means material satisfaction and sometimes, even the abstract thing. but filipino individualism is something else. this means that a rule made for the general public should be followed. but if certain circumstances happen and one is the victim of that circumstance, he becomes an exception to the rule. a perfect example: in an mrt ride, i saw a manang murmured, hindi naman dapat nakaupo ang bata, di naman yan bayad, libre yan eh. dapat kinakandong. kawawa naman iyong mga nagbayad. hindi makaupo. two days after, i saw the same manang who made that same comment with, take note, three children, all passing the height requirement to be considered free and all three sitting on the the supposedly seats of the mrt regular commuters. how's that?! go figure.

monday.. monday was a pain for my body. my first exercise for a few months now brought strain to my otherwise dormant body. curse pe1. but that was just my initial reaction. the following day was such a big pain that i ended up cursing every single time i move any of my limbs. i found myself wishing i had done more exercise in the last few months. but the following day was also a major review day. i have lot's of things coming up this week, and friday, today, is my only rest day because for this weekend i am bound to be married to my geography book.

unlike the first two days, wednesday was such a huge hit. first up was the Araw ng Aliw at Baliw of the MCO applicants. god! it brought back so many memories from the time i was an applicant. more than naything, congratulations to harry and kaye. great ANAB presentations. *applause*
for the afternoon it was lunch at UST. toured the campus with lorraine and ate at this fabulously cheap yet delicious place in the carpark. boys? i saw not one single cute guy, but lorraine's company after a looooooooooong while is such a blessing. the fair to ust was cheap and it surprised me because it is near UP. that's a good thought. at least i know there's someone, aside from shena, that i can instantly run to. if ever something happens. and! another great discovery. cereals make great desserts. i am yet again on a big food high.

thursday was the mco team building seminar and the unbearable pain in my legs, back and arms. for some reason, i actually ran around UP and in the second leg our team lost. but hey, at least you get to enjoy. :D after the whole event my legs were already aching but since i want to exceed that limit of pain i worked out on my dormitory bedroom spreading sweat all over the floors. the result? this morning my body was aching all over. it is pain, but nevertheless, it feels good.

more good news: last night, i had a kilig text conversation with someone,the someone from capiz, instead of sleeping. i ended up studying philo 10 and texting him. i am not regretting anything. here was how it went:

j: h!
s: h!-wrong send?
j: gising ka pa?
s: oo naman, kung hindi, mumu sana kausap mo ngayon.
j: bkit, kilala mo ba kung sino kausap mo?

s: oi! ngayon ka na lang ulit nagparamdam ha!
j: globe ka kasi, eh smart ako kaya di kita matext.
s: sabi ko naman kasi sa 'yo mag-globe ka na.
j: oo ba, basta pag naubusan na ako ng katext sa smart, mag-g-globe na ako agad.

so far so good. only academics to worry about, and in my world, that is normal. i am in for another week of heavy reviewing, but i am not complaining.

yay to world! :)
