Despite getting up rather early on a Friday which happens to be my restday, I feel the giddiness of coming back to the halls and walls of the school. I would be awake at 4:30 in the morning, do my routine and right before the clock ticks 6, should be on a bus seat lest be late for 8am class in Tanauan City, in Batangas.

Honestly, I would have the usual teeny-weeny  reservations on teaching since I haven’t taken masters and barely knew the industry I work in.  Eh hindi nga ako beat reporter eh. Most times, I know I momentarily pause in the middle of my class discussion clandestinely and silently asking myself if I was getting at the right things. But I don’t do writing class; only basic Comm subjects that every commgrad could handle I guess. Each week I would devote a day or two preparing my class discussion and thinking of ways to keep their ears on me. Masarap yung feeling na nasa harap ka ng mga bata.

Nothing beats the feeling of solitude inside a cold, cozy library with only a book, a notebook and earphones on my company. Nina spells lullaby, her music soothes me, lulls me to deep sleep and unparalleled relaxation.

Christmas is drawing nearer; no plans yet and I haven’t had the chance to organize my funds, expenses and whatnot. Christmas bonus is easy to blow in a wink; singbilis lang ng blowjob. Haha. My month is full-packed with parties, events and birthday blowouts left and right. Few days left and we will sing again at the Hyundai chorale tussle. Hope we get the first place. I need money. Money. Money. Money.

Where the hell was Manny Villar on last night’s presidential forum over ANC? Tangena, no show. Erap is perpetually comic and stupid. His jokes and antics, though mabenta, ay katangan at its finest. He says his win is to payback the masses who loved him and supported him all through his plunder trial and detention in Tanay. Eh gago ka pala, hindi naman tanga lahat ng Pilipino.

Gibo Teodoro (gwapo!) is the perfect speaker, eloquent and substantiated ang sagot. Noynoy well-trained his motherhood statements, Gordon as well. Ang aga nya sa GoodTimes with Mo over Magic kanina! lagare ang lolo. Jesus is Lord Movement’s Eddie Villanueva hasn’t learned a thing from his previous failings. Ang Kapatiran’s JC delos Reyes (?) should have run instead on the senatorial race; sayang sya eh. Nick Perlas, uh, sino sya? Haha.

Last Saturday (Nov28) will forever be remembered for all its worth, and kilig. I didn’t see it coming although I was half-expecting that everything would trickle down to that something that I would have loved not doing with him.But happen it did. I just don’t know how it would change what we started and how it would progress. If it’s any consolation, he doesn’t demand anything; I don’t either. Maybe we just wanted this work soon if not now.

Problem is, the setup isn’t clear to both of us, no labels no glitz no the works just the assurance that someone somewhere cares.

Come night I went to a swim in Lemery, Batangas (just a 45 to an hour drive from Batangas city proper) with cousin Liza and her friends who eventually became my circle too. Photos will be uploaded as soon as I get my smartbro loaded because the office wifi won’t allow uploads. how nice.

Student is entertaining the teacher with the incessant highschoolish texts and I’m liking it. Makes up for what’s amiss with him.

The sickness I am nursing the past days only validates my vulnerability to colds and coughs, and when I do catch them they sure give me a feverish feel or a kick-ass flu.  My ascorbics aren’t staples ergo. I just wonder if Starcie’s right on tipping me on taking at least 2tabs in the morning and 2 at night. Won’t that make me C-dependent?

Last night, we had this small talk at the unit concerning foremost our dream jobs. Ate Almi’s whining over her new stint here at the paper, leaving behind her clique at the Makati-CBD based GlobalSource. She hopped on various jobs, I could remember four, while I, on the other hand, am stuck here since forever.

You are unpredictable. You make me guess. You surprise me and I hate it. I wish you’d be available on the 28th for this beach nightout.

This morning I went to the university with Aelle and filed for some transcript. A lot has changed in the campus with buildings here and there newly erected, conyo kids strolling, a somewhat race circuit near the Math building. The tuition I heard is skyhigh and these conyo kiddoes now take the chunk of the once dukha and pobre populace. lol. True enough, UPCAT passers who cannot afford paying the tuition went to other schools.

The campus is already on Christmas mode, bazaars are already commonplace at the UPchapel and in front of the Infirmary. The December nippy weather completes the package.

Come lunch, we grabbed bite at the BeachHouse eatery and filled our already growling stomachs with their famed porkBBQ, salted eggs and dried mangoes.

I thought the long-planned meetup with friends wouldn’t push through. But the world has its way of making things happen and happen it did. So at around 9pm last night I hailed a ride to GoodEarth in Rockwell where Amy was. It was totally awful that we last saw each other months ago pa, when school hasn’t yet started.  After urong sulong na plano, natuloy din. Camille and Lizzie are supposedly with us but emergency came up daw. I sent Edward some SMS invites and in less than an hour, he showed up fresh from grad school at DLSU.Things didn’t change, the people in college were talked about who ended up with whom, where everyone’s heading. Good times over beer and the awful Chinese sausage which tastes like synthetic plastic rubber. *stomach growls*

At around midnight, we walked our ways and said byebyes. But I detoured and met up with Rao and his friends who’re still on an allnighter booze session at Cembo in Makati. I spent the night at his place and headed home past 10am.

Sayang walang pictures!

He says no one is invincible in that world, that he/she must read and read and read. It’s a ranking game that each one races with one another. The readings aren’t talking to me at least. Lord knows how I lazy around and bloat to sleep with hardly any page scanned. Must work on this one. The infamous pop Pinoy author Bob Ong once quipped a thing has to be visualized if you want it sorely, that or somewhat near to it.

The semester is starting next week, I haven’t started with my lessons but I am excited.

Haven’t been home for two weeks it kills me. The choir, u-huh this thingmajig, kept me from going home the past days. The master, she particularly, exudes an eerie feel, makes me want to quit. Heaven knows I don’t sing that my joining was only part of the break-the-monotonous-officelife game. Geesh.

This post’s title says it all. I went to SarahG’s Araneta night on Saturday. She wooed me with breathtaking, heart-thumping performance. She is pretty and has a maputing kili-kili (better said in Filipino). The venue was filled to the rafters. I enjoyed every second of Sarah’s while documenting my seatmates’ love affair. He was too beautiful for him. Tsk. Sana ako nalang. Haha.

The semester that is and hello to a restfull sembreak. I would have gone to school today to pick up my grades if not for work; I’d drop by prolly  tomorrow or on Saturday. Anyhoo, Attorney Cueto congratulated me for a job well done. Yay, he said I got 94 in Consti class. Much love! All the tons of readings and cramming paid off. I wonder how I  fared in Legal Philosophy, geesh I am praying Attorney Manalo would be as generous.

Grading students after a semester of digests, recitation and exams is an alltogether difficult and strenuous task. I should know. tell you what, I still feel guilty for nearly flunking two of my students in the university where I handle a Print Media class. You too should love me, instead. I would have dropped you, but I did not.  I just hope you two walk the extra mile and do good in your future class.  Next semester, I’d be handling two classes, sophomore class of the CommArts program. I.am.excited.

On to other news, I heaved a sigh of relief after the boss announced I won’t be assigned to other sections. Thank you heavens I owe you one. I’ll be staying with the Opinion and Special Sections with my dear workmates. Yay to that.

This weekend would be fullpacked, the de rigeur cum reunion trip to the cemetery with family and relatives. On Saturday night, i’d be heading up to my cousin’s friend for a night of booze and videoke.  It should be a fun fun weekend because next week I’d be on for some serious business. I am all pysched up; I should be all psyched up.

By the way, I took some katuwaan moments with housemates the other night when we didn’t have anything to do at the unit. Edit: I forgot I can’t upload here via office wifi. Will post pics later.

 

Christmas came in too early for me. I just got a notebook, the newest Acer Aspire.  Woots!

With sis Mikko, lazing around at SM City Batangas.

The past months were uneventful except that things flew by so fast. first sem in law school was a breeze that I didn’t know I’m having my finals in two weeks.

I’m praying I get this thing soon. Mehopes the universe conspire.

On the other side, I have dated a few guys during months and weeks past. no rosy things up and coming. Geesh. Haha. This leaves me loveless. weird, I’m happy bout it.
