a city-wide power outage occurred and yet we were in a dark classroom, writing downright silly reasons why we are more satisfied with spending our budget on more burgers than Coke without ever mentioning utility in our paragraphs.

**

classmate: zzz...
English professor: you, no sleeping inside the classroom! wake up, or else get out of the room.
me: zzz...
English professor: ...we have the right and duty to resist tyranny, like Prometheus...

tired, in pain, confused. but i'm still waiting for that time, while doing the best i can to make up for my mistakes.

sabog.

barely 2 weeks into classes, and i am already physically, mentally and emotionally drained.

accounting is vague, i already slept soundly in my economics class, found out in world lit that there's more to the iliad than an account of a chauvinistic war for an unfaithful woman, am supposed to review for a chapter quiz in psychology tomorrow [but i opted to resurrect my stagnant blog], my future saturday mornings will be occupied by statistics, and calculus is so fast, it feels like we're dismissed right after the prof enters the room.

then, right after classes, we hang out at math building [blacklisted na kami, like i am with my organizations.] before eating somewhere around the vicinity of the campus [para bago, Philcoa!]. couple that with the occasional mood swing, and what do i have? silence. i'm getting sick of myself.

it feels good to meet someone new. like filling out blank pages in your life's scrapbook. =p

school's in session

i'm now officially a college sophomore. so i am prone to being nostalgic whenever i see freshmen walking around the campus in packs. haha.

experienced the longest enrollment so far. enlisted manually for 3 subjects [got the last slot in a Stat 101 class, used my charm so i could immediately enlist for another Psych 101 class after cancelling my first one]. got OC over filling out the forms [bawal ang lampas sa box! goodness!]. expected a lllooonnnggg line at Palma Hall for payment. ayun, i was able to pay after reaching the building.

more next time. :)

lesson learned - finally.

'Dats wat frnds do. And d kta inaackaso,im lookng out 4 u. Dats wat frnds do, Db?'

i realized how stupid i am to doubt their efforts to reach out. i realized how selfish i was to expect so much from them. i realized how much i missed by choosing to pretend that everything was ok.

i thought it was impossible for me to let go of the past. it can be attainable if you take your time and muster the courage to do so. i thought that putting myself in the corner would make all of us happy. it only made them worried sick. i thought self-pity would ease the pain. there is a much better cure - trust.

before, i used to think that it was best for me to keep my problems to myself. not anymore. there are people out there willing to be my life support. i'm just oblivious to that fact for all these years. Dats wat frnds do, Db? :)

tagged

RULES:
1. Write about how much you are addicted about something.
2. Don't forget to include the percentage of 'addictedness' towards that thing.
3. All with one condition > The total of the percentage must be 100%
4. You MUST tag others and continue tagging but please don't forget to explain the rules and notify that person so that they know they had been tagged.

internet [20%]. surfing the net consists of 3 activites: blogging, Peyups forum-lurking, and e-mail. oh, count in friendster.

mathematics [6%]. before, i tried to love numbers. now, i am attached.

food bingeing [14%]. enough said.

tambay [20%]. lately, i've been going home late [pardon the redundancy] in the evening. i can't resist good company, even if it means threats of grounding.

cartoons [7%]. yeah. thanks to younger siblings, i have an excuse to catch the latest episode of Foster's Home or a new Disney Channel original movie.

SMS [13%]. i have renewed interest in unlimited texting. i have sent around 3000 messages in the past 2 weeks alone.

reading [5%]. reading my sister's novels for the nth time. and i never get tired of it.

lomography [10%]. flowery term for 'spontaneous camwhoring.' but seriously, i love taking pictures of stuff i deem aesthetic or comical every so often.

sleep [5%]. being a nocturnal being does have its perks. but i need my share of sleep once in a while.

still searching for others who haven't been tagged yet. oh, the tag is courtesy of gerome. =)

it's a good thing i'm leaving CMC for the School of Economics. goodness, it took me 7 hours to get the dean's signature. i was on the verge of tears as the deadline approached. apparently, they have no sense of urgency, even though i told them a couple of times already that i needed my clearance and permit to transfer yesterday! never mind that i missed our study group and professor's surprise for rona's debut. [happy birthday rona! sorry i wasn't able to greet you personally.] add to my dilemma some irksome UPCAT-passer wannabes who thought they own the Office of the Univ Registrar. as if they could ace the exam with that attitude.

now, red tape is one thing i'm not going to miss about CMC.
