A Very Dreaded Thing

Blogging when I shoudn't be

O yeah, I have a truckload of responsibilities to be taken care of: papers, researches, more papers, and.. that. That that.

Imagine yourself trying hard to foresee things that might happen. People save a lot of effort and time when they do forecast future events. Take for example a typical student preparing for examinations. When he has made the necessary preparations, he is sure to have a direct advantage.

Regarding this issue, I DID prepare myself. Falling in love. It's a lame thing. Well, not exactly lame, it's just that I didn't expect it to hit me this hard.

As of the moment, I'm in my room. Alone. I went upstairs, but can't find the right person to hug. So I kinda "hugged" my blog. Well, you may also "hug" me back. *winks*

Just when I thought I've become a wiser man to not let my guard down, things start to get out of control.

Err, got to go back to my aforementioned "truckload" of responsibilities.

"Magkakapalit na tayo ng mukha," I used to say that to Merryl. Now, I never dared to mention it again. Might come true, scare the hell out of me.

RUMOR SPREAD, AND FAST

Taking advantage of the wi-fi connection in the Math building and the free lab in 174

Up to now, I can still flash (at least) a weak smile when I am reading Sir Joms' paper. I can't believe I became part of it; even the thought of contributing a gazillionth of a part sometimes gives me the goosebumps. Luckily I'm never having an attitude, I'm even humbled.

August 27 is the date to be. Should do things quick, but precise. Tonight will be a working night. That means another fun night for me. Weee.

174: A success!

A few short breaths and a smirk on my face

At last, the restless nights came out to be oh so fine. *grins*
When I looked at our tarpaulin, I smiled and smiled with a smile that's more than a smile. All those 3-hour nights of sleep finally paid off.

Special thanks to Sir Joms for the unending support. He really did wonders, or so I thought.

Update as of Monday, August 23
Sir said we can modify our poster presentation a bit, and enter it in a conference or what. More work, but the hell I care. I AM having fun.

Coffeeshops for a change.

Standing with my last ounce of energy

"Sheesh, you could've told us earlier," I could have said that to Signeffex (the printing shop) when we reach its barred walls. Very much against our will, we dragged our feet to any place we might find relaxing. I suggested a sort-of-a-date date with her, saying we could go anywhere. We even thought of going to Olivarez for pizza. That was far.

We ended up at Cafe Antonio, now located in LB Square. We watched a movie, shared a few drinks, ate a few, drank a free coffee, and had fun. That night was all about fun. We cared less about what might happen tomorrow.

After all, we earned this night.

The one wearing black glasses is Bert (Robert Capati), Meh (Merryl Canlas) is the cute one, and I'm the one in the middle. We watched How To Train Your Dragon, and boy it was good. This one's special because we were friends since freshie times. When we meet up, it's either someone's having a birthday or we just miss each other.

Jojo for the win

Still thinking about last night

Something cape up last night. I was surfing the net, then my instructor sent me a message in Facebook.

The conversation was somewhat like this:
Mystery Man: Nacheck-an ko na paper mo. (I already checked your paper)
Me: Talaga! Pwede po malaman score ko? (Really! Can I know my score?)

And so on. That was the start. Then we got to joke around things. I really had fun. But something came up that really kept me in awe and smiles for a moment.

He opened up something I can't believe. It's like in the movies when you keep on slapping yourself to check if it's just a dream? Haha, kidding.

I can't tell it right now. But one thing's for sure - it's gonna be exciting!
For the second time, I love you Sir Rabajante! Thank you for this one. *laughs*

Patting Myself on the Back

1:24pm
Throwing all the crap away. It's time to have fun!

I do need some patting on the back. For one, I just did sooo many things! Next, my back does ache. I do self massage. Clearly, not enough.

A quick list of have-done things:

Said goodbye to Fargo
He was my tutee for only two sessions. Lived in Makati. Through him, I learned to travel on my own. Got lost. Walked through the streets of Makati with a laptop on one hand and clenched fist on the other. Glorietta, SM Ayala, Dusit Hotel, Walter, Don Bosco, Yuchengco Museum. An adventure indeed. Too bad he already left for New York.

Getting the hang of things with Aimon
I'm not doing the frequent handouts for him anymore. I just go to Real thrice a week, prepare my mind, say a little prayer, flash a smile, then off we go. Seven hours a week? It's not too much of a stress.

Being an SA..
..doesn't mean you'd get too much money. It's more of an experience for me. When I told people I worked for a few hours equivalent to roughly 600 pesos. They had their qualms. But it doesn't really matter much. *laughs*

Getting examination results
AMAT171 - 75%
MATH 181 - 68%
MATH 174 - 70.5%
Not bad eh? *grins* More to go. I keep on crossing my fingers.

A lot of things for only a week! PalaCASan's just getting fired up. So much to expect. Let's have this kind of enthusiasm sustained.

A week-end report

At home, going gaga over the free time I have in my hands

So far so good. That sentence says it all. When you have a bunch of exams (and many other things) popping out of your calendar, all you want is to have everything under control. I used to say to myself in the past two weeks, "Two hours of sleep would be enough for now. Babawi na 'lang ako sa weekends." But the truth is, I can't even call my weekends weekends. In the past two weeks, I had part-time jobs, met new people, lost my way around Makati, rode a Green Star Bus for the first time, and many other things. Up to now, I still manage to flash a smile and call myself a superman in my own sense.

And for the record, I keep on saying to myself, "I'll watch Inception, no matter what." like for 5 times already.

I do get a few moments to breathe and think about the bigger picture. And every single time, I am happy. Maybe I just got used to the hectic schedule, or it's just plain me to look for something to do. I really am not sure.

Best of luck to us!
