Sleepy...

Quarter to 2 AM. Had breakfast with (and said goodbye to)Keiko. Had dinner with BNU girls. Lyndon stopped by the apartment to go online. We leave for Haerbin tonight. Soo sleepy...

Dreammares

Dreamed I was back home. While watching TV a TV crew came by and wanted to interview my parents. I rushed up to my room to dress appropriately. 5-Kim was there to offer fashion tips.

Then...

I'm in a graveyard avoiding getting shot at by former classmate Jowell Lim after he had just killed another classmate. Somehow I end up killing him (self-defense). Next thing I know I'm back at the office (Agno) where I find Irene typing at the computer and Winston at my dad's desk. Then he takes a shot at me with an even bigger gun than Joel's! He holds Irene hostage. I manage to escape via the adjoinging bathroom. I tell ma about Joel and she says it was self-defense.

Then I woke up.

Anudda Year, Anudder Dollar

Actually there's no dollar forthcoming, but a lame line's a lame line.
Stayed in all day for the past 2 days. PC's been hanging on me way too many times. (Y2K5 bug, perhaps?) Hard to believe I'm having trouble arranging proper "liesure time." Shows to watch, comics to read, computers to hang. Decisions, decisions.

Xmas Here and Gone

No big dinner with the other Filipinos, just a b-day dinner for Melvina, and Indonesian friend of Ryan's. Met some new "Flips," funny as hell. Wasn't able to deliver any (save two) of my presents, but that's okay. Still Xmas tomorrow (or later, to be precise). Managed to call home, but should've gotten a card w/ more load.

The snow's getting sweep and shovelled away, just as it's getting dirtier and dirtier, resembling beach sand. Just as well. I can't stand how the floor gets really messy after the ice and mud melt off my shoes.

Right now I'm typing blogs, chatting w/ Debbie, listening to MP3s and reading comics on the PC. Yup, definitely a different way to spent Chirstmas.

Snow Day

Went online to check the weather. It said, "snow." A look outside the window confirmed it. And there was a lot of it, clearly past 6 inches. Got a lot of decent pics, numb fingers notwithstanding. Even had Kym and Michelle over for a little takeout dinner and the latest episode of Desperate Housewives and The Simpsons.

Weekend Update

Scraped my knee, lost my bike and sunglasses, slightly sprained my left wrist, went rollerskating (I kid u not), saw Maricel off to the airport, drank beer mixed with Coke, witnessed snowing, called home, haven't gotten my soup pot back, chatted with Debbie (who's currenly in Hong Kong) and heard a story about Raffy involving his gas mask that's too odd to get into right now.

Yup, it's been a busy week. Had the blogger site been working properly I would've gone into more detail. Also finished the latest proofreading assignment this morning. Four in the morning, to be exact. Have yet to see a dime from any of the proofreading jobs, but I trust them not to screw me over. Or ELSE.

Turns Out It's Shitty Every Other Day

Crashed on my bike after saying goodbye to Debbie (the Canadian hottie). Bruised my knee and lost my shades(!) Had a cookout for the Manols and the departing Bacolod girls (Bea, Angelie and Jackie), as well as Danielle. Lugged around a lot of kitchen utensils.

Yet somehow the 2 good things that happened today outweigh the 3 bad ones. Now if you'lll excuse me I'll have to grab some sleep and see Bea (and Dess) off tomorrow at 6:30 AM.

Start of Another Shitty Week?

First I overslept. Then while getting my bike tires fixed again I noticed the rear mud guard was missing, and by missing I mean torn off/ ripped from the socket. That and the four holes the guy found in my tires (2 for each wheel) confirmed that this was an act of vandalism. Ended up missing 3/4 of my classes.

Now, after coming home from Chiristian's birthday dinner, Camy knocks on my door and tells me that she came home to find our apartment door "wide open." Luckily nothing was taken but the enormous carelessness on my part is still getting to me.

TAKU Me Out

A moment of indecision of whether or not to go to Club Taku was settled when Jackie called and said she needed guys to hand out roses to Bea, who turns 21 today (it's 4AM right now). Manol, Fernds, Carlos and I came late, nonetheless. 'Least the place had good music, but I'm still partially deaf at the moment.

Speaking of moments, several stand out. One, a "almost came to blows" kind between Belo and Tin (Ngo)'s friend. Two (and three, sorta) being Elaine dancing a wee bit to intimately with two guys I've never seen before. I couldn't tell whether she knew 'em or she was tipsy. I actually felt jealous, but more angry, particularly at myself, for just standing there and "letting" it happen. (Yeah, she's an adult and I don't her well enough to judge, but I could spend volumes talking about mixed feelings for this girl...but not today.) Nerelie got worried about the second guy and pulled 'Lainey away while I moved in to block to guy. A bit subtle, but I was definitely afraid of any confrontation that might have occurred.

Then there was Debbie (the Canadian one), all wasted and like a lame sitcom plot prevented by most of us from getting one drink too many. My guess is we failed miserably.

On thing I didn't stand for was when Ching and Kym tried to take off my shirt, followed by everybody else trying to get into the game. Like being asked to sing acapella (no, not tonight) was embarassing enough, but to strip? This, was...ugh. What did they take me for, drunk? Sure, I chugalugged Kym's beer (couldn't believe it myself), but that's it. Peer pressure can be such a pain, sometimes.

"Oh, The Weather Outside is Frightful..."

So thank God the party was delightful.
And to the students who'll be gone:
Party On, party ON PARTY ON!

The Xmas/Farewell party for the 3-month period students went off much better than the Halloween party(not that it wasn't easy to top, though), with games actually played and programs actually performed. Again some people didn't, couldn't and sadly wouldn't show, but no matter. A majority had a good time, and we had better music this time around, as well.

Came home around 11:30, so I called up Diedre we had a nightcap consisting of the last Simpsons episodes I had and some hot chocolate.
