Taking a Break.

After six hours of reading articles that doesn't seem to end for me, I am giving myself a break. I need it. I just got back from Starbucks-Vito Cruz. Ah, that place is a haven for me. I was craving for a Grande Mocha Frappuccino. When I got there, I saw a friend of mine, with three books stacked up on the table, and one book open with pages filled with yellow highlights. I said hi, asked how she was doing, and after a few minutes, I went out of the coffee shop and on my way home.

I got back, turned the computer on and logged in my desktop. While waiting for the browser to upload the Blogger website, I started to think about a few people. Tita Connie, Tito Monching and Kristina are going back to the States. I'm kind of sad because I was able to spend so much time with them than I hoped to. I'm sure going to miss them. It will be years before I get to see them again. Maybe by that time, Kristina's all grown up.

Then there's my high school barkada. Alla, Euki and Chi. Yes, I know...I just saw them last week. But that was just a couple of hours. I want to hang out with them for the whole weekend. *Sigh* How I wish there will be a time when we will be able to bond again. Like the April 14 celebration.

Of course, there's...well, you know. It's been quite a while since I last saw him and I kind of have this feeling of being incomplete. I guess I was getting used to talking to him everyday and seeing him at least once every week...I feel like the day's not complete without even saying hi to him. Weird, huh? For those who know who I am talking about...keep your mouths shut. For those who don't know...you'll find out in time. Hehehe...

Oooh...Transformers trailer. It is finally showing tomorrow. If only I can go and watch. Unfortunately, I'm on the cooking department tomorrow night. Hahaha! Oh yes...I'll be cooking yet again. Which makes me wonder what will dinner be tonight. Papi didn't go to Cartimar to buy food for the day. I am home alone until who-knows-what-time. All I can find in the refrigerator are chocolates and other sweets. Now how is that going to fill my stomach for the evening? Hmm...Papi better brings me food.

I think I've had enough of a break. Have to get back to reading.

Ciao!

It's Blogging Time!

Oh yes! I have blogged again!

Believe it or not, it is just now that I really had the time to log in my Blogspot and...well, blog away. I have been in school for just six days (for academics) and I don't think I prepared myself enough to enter the school year with so much readings. I expected it, I just don't think I was that ready. Weird, right? But that's the truth about it.

It's amazing how in just less than 10 months, I will be graduating (hopefully). I have to remember there are still some things I need to go through before I can actually say, "I'm done!" I still have to endure the pains of late night study hours, the stress of press work, and the nerve-wrecking preparation for thesis. Good luck to my last school year.

Hmm...my mind is pretty blank right now. I still feel full from eating at Dad's. It's not everyday that I get to eat at an eat-all-you-can buffet for free...I had to eat!

Be right back.

TAGGED: Why I'm Called a Weirdo.

Instruction:
Each player of this game starts with 6 weird things about you. People who get tagged need to write a list of their own 6 weird things in their blog as well as state the rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says you are tagged in their comments and tell them to read your blog.

* * *

This is not the first time that I have been called a "weirdo." I have been labeled as such by my brothers and my friends. Thanks to my dear classmate and friend, Menchie, everyone knows I am a "weirdo." Haha!

All right! Let's begin.

I am called a WEIRDO for the following reasons:

1. I am a WWE fanatic.
I may not look the part, but I am definitely a fan of WWE! Ever since I can remember, I have always watched wrestling since the World Wrestling Federation days. I can still remember watching Big Daddy Cool Diesel and Razor Ramon and Bam Bam Bigalow and Vader! Hahaha! What's weird is that, even though I watch wrestling, I am most certainly a slapstick. There isn't a violent bone in my body.

2. I prefer reading political or philosophical literature than romance novels.
Not that I have anything against them, but I'd much rather read literature about Plato and Aristotle than characters written by Nora Roberts or Christina Dodd. I don't own any romance novel. But sure, I read light books.

3. I am still single.
Ok. I don't really know how this fits in for being a weirdo, but according to some of my friends that at my age, I should have a boyfriend by now. Hey, it's not that I want to be single forever, you know. Just not now. And they call me weird for it. According to my friends, it's an unresolved mystery. Why is it that until now, I am not in a relationship? Is it because I studied and am still studying in an all-girls-school institution? Is it because I am just not interested? Or is it because...hmm...I don't think I'll finish the last statement. Hahaha!

4. I don't own rubber shoes or sneakers.
Another fact about me that people are having such a hard time to believe. No, I don't own any rubber shoes or sneakers. As soon as PE was over, I am done with them. Sorry people, I'm just not the rubber shoes-slash-sneakers type of gal. I'm more of the sandals-and-stiletto type.

5. I have a mini-library at home.
Oh yes! It's true. It's true. It's definitely a library at our home. Everywhere you go, in our home, books are piled up and yes, everyone at home has read every single book. My last book count for my books is 147. Still counting...

6. I blush profusely when a certain someone gives me compliments.
It's nice to get compliments once in a while. However, I can't help but blush whenever a certain person would say something nice about me. Hahaha! Who is that person? That is for me to know and for you to find out.

* * *

There you have it, folks. Six reasons why I'm called a weirdo. Now to pass on the torch. The six lucky people I'm going to tag are:

* Chi
* Alla
* Euki
* Ykai
* Lei
* Ping

That ends my blog for the day.

Au revoir!

Three and a Half Hours.

June 10th.

4 days before I go back to school.

4 days before the beginning of the end.

Yes, I know...it sounds corny, it sounds cliché
but I am actually counting down the days until I finish my college years. It's funny how much I am looking forward to graduating. Of course, it can't be helped that I feel a little nervous. But in general, I'm anxiously excited. Hahaha!

First day of school is coming up and well, I had the time to buy new stuff for school. I went to Glorietta last Friday to buy some school supplies. New notebook, new yellow pad, new pens. Then it was time to buy new shoes. I really didn't want to buy new shoes since the shoes I have been using is all right. However, SSC is under a new administration. They said that pointed shoes and stiletto heels are not allowed in school anymore. Weird, right? Well, they reasoned that it was for our own good...because they don't want us to get into any accidents when going up and down the stairs of our school and when we go home. I think it's all bull. Sorry but I think that is just some crazy rule!

On the day I was going to buy my shoes, I received a text from a schoolmate, saying that pointed shoes are now allowed, as long as it doesn't have stiletto heels. Good luck on that! I have yet to see such shoes.

I went around Glorietta and unfortunately for me, there wasn't a pair of shoes for me. Literally. When I found a pair that I liked, they don't have my size. Then I decided to go to SM. Another pointless effort since all the shoes there were pointy and have stiletto heels. If there's a pair I liked, it was too expensive for me. As if! I will not buy a pair of shoes worth over P1,000 for school! No way!

I was starting to lose hope and just go home and wait for another to buy my shoes. But I gave Landmark a shot. Hallelujah!!! After an hour of walking around Landmark. I finally found it! Shoes that I liked and fit me perfectly!!!

Aren't they nice? It took me a total of three and a half hours before I was able to buy a pair of shoes!

Well, I better get going. I still have something to do.
