Questioning my Introspection
Thursday, October 30, 2008
Good Morning's at 3pm, followed by lunch at 4. My body clock had seemed to shift ever since sembreak started. Whatever happened to sleep definitely being a blessing, contrary to our whines during school days.
So yeah, I'm at the midst of ecstasy not until I learned that school's pretty much nearing again. I only got 3-4 days left for me to relax, to unwind and to seize before being bombarded again by a pretty much heavier task this time, PHC-2. Oh crap. Humor has it, that our batch will be having our community service in Batangas this time. I just don't know how credible that statement was though. Just because it came from Mr. CC himself, doesn't mean its reliable enough to embrace anxiety. But who knows? I really hope Dean B would finally made up her mind regarding such, cause travelling from Cavite to Manila to Cavite and to Manila again (4 travelling in one day), would be frustrating for me cause I won't be staying in a dorm. Seriously, I don't wanna go back to school yet (who wanna by the way?), I'm not ready yet. I'm sure regrets will eventually pop next week as sleep taken for granted's the limelight for 3 weeks already.
Anyway a lot has happened recently and to tell you the truth, I really am not into my blogging hype nowadays. So just for the sake of posting, allow my random thoughts to flow through yours.
Recently, I've been reading my Phil. Lit textbook. Honestly, I've been missing that SOAB professor, Meal. It's really nice having him around. Through him I've enhanced my I heart literature awareness, thank you sir! And through him, oh I must add, the asshole in me rated itself 8 in a scale of 10. Getting a 1.75 from a SOAB like him felt like a privilege to think that most of my classmates got downright low low grades on him, and the highest so far is 1.5 if I'm not mistaken. Not bad, eh? Despite the fact that it's really low (let's face it), it still is something.
Shifting you away from my egotistic ranting, one of my favorites among various we've discussed was the very heartfelt
Dead Stars by
Paz Marquez Benitez. Another is the very clever
Three Rats by
Wilfrido Ma. Guerrero. And lastly, Breathe by
Alessandra G.L. Gonzales.
"The trick is to keep breathing." He looked at me and smiled with his blue eyes and crooked teeth. I would see his face and sing his favorite Garbage song in my head long after he disappeared into the gale of people catching flights to who-knows-where."
I must tell you that Breathe doesn't really ranked to be one of the best stories I've read so far though, but there's something in it that makes it really special. The story is about two individuals from different sides of the world who've met, just like any other cyberpunks here (including myself, lol), well in the internet. Given two characters of different sex will already give you a clue of a cyberlove relationship, in which they've somehow decided to make it real by meeting each other personally. But just like any other unhappily ever after stories, both wasn't given a chance to continue their love affair due to race and geographical differences despite their love and effort of doing so. As a result, the only option left for them to do is well, just like in the
Garbage's song, to keep breathing or to move on and continue living (just in case you still can't get it, no offense).
Regardless of how smooth everything is going; every relationship has its own flaws, they say. The trick is to keep breathing. How it makes me wonder. Will I be humming to the same tune in the end?

After the Statistics exam yesterday, we decided to hang out for a while somewhere cause going home wasn't such a good idea by then. Our original plan was to eat in Ice Monster talaga, but since
Jamber here* backed out (as he's going to meet with his friends pala); we decided to dine in YC na lang.
The trio comprises of me,
RI and
Dex. And I tell you, it was such a night even if
Cy wasn't there (though it will be a lot more fun having her around). So yeah, we just bummed while waiting for our order and when it did finally arrived; the waiter said, "
Pizza for Bob!". HAHA! Stupid Dex.
Idamay ba naman si Bob na walang kamalay-malay. :P
Our conversation had lead to topics of all sorts. There was a time when we talked about Pong Escobal of San Beda Red Lions. He told me that he's in PBA already and he'll be playing for Talk 'n Text this season. Minutes later, we saw Gabo Lanete, along with his other friends, walked pass our table. Chances of Dex knowing them are quiet high cause he's also a player, so they bid each other their hello's. It is just then that I've realized Gabo being with the other SBC players which are Gamalinda, others I'm not familiar with, and guess who?!
PONG ESCOBAL!! Shoot there! I almost choke upon seeing him, really (I was drinking soda kasi when he climbed up). Haha I just hate Dex for telling Pong,
"Pinag-uusapan ka lang namin kanina ah!". *cringe. Thank God, I didn't let out a squeal. :P But mind you, I don't like Pong Escobal anymore. Uhh, ok at least not as much as I like him before. :]] He's not much of a hottie anymore than the first time I saw him play on court. Forgive my very girly tendencies of spotting a *ehem. haha.
After that we went home with big smiles on our faces. I will surely miss my college friends. But then again nothing compares to the sight of a banner that says, "It's official. Sembreak's finally here!"; then actually feeling it afterwards.
Woot!~
