Down in the Ducks

Just came back from a heavy Kao Ya (Peking Roast Duck) dinner at some hu tong near Qian An Men. Wonder what the side effect's gonna be? The runs? Slight dizziness from too much fat and oil? The need for more cardio exercises starting tomorrow? Well, at least it got me outta the apartment. Today (and yesterday) was more or less a preview of what I'd be doing here once final exams are over: sleep, watch (downloaded) vids and maybe edit pix. Oh, and chat online.

Man of Steel, Head of Cotton

The Haerbin cold that's been hounding a few of those than went there finally caught up with me. I'm not sure wether it's the cold or the medication that's making me feel like a ragdoll right now. Trying to keep myself from blowing my nose too much because I've experienced a sore nostil, and man was it unpleasant.

Lessee, stuffy nose, general weakness. Typing this crap when I should be studying. Yup, being sick sucks.

Damn Internet Connection

Got back from Haerbin two days ago, but that story can wait. I swear Blogger only seems to work when I should be doing anything but go online...

Just finished creeping myself out reading plot summaries of the 1985 Twilight Zone show. True, the series had it's happy endings too but damn if the creepy ones didn't... well, creep me out. Better not listen to the Salem's Lot audio book at night.

Aagh! REALLY oughtta be studying...

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.
