an admission, and an SOS

-
Hello dear reader. Before you proceed any further in my blog, I have something important I really need to tell you.

I'm not a fun person. I'm not interesting, or extraordinary, or anything. I'm the exact opposite of all that.

I'm a very very very boring and unremarkable teenager.

And no, I'm not being sarcastic, or even fishing for compliments.

Because this is the truth. It's the reality of my life, and I thought that it just wouldn't be right leading you on.

So, hello. My name is Aimee, nickname, Bea. I lead an uninteresting life for now, but I'm moving to Manila in a few weeks' time, so try checking this blog by then and maybe I'll have something even remotely stimulating to offer you guys.

. . .

If you're wondering, by the way, what took me so long to "come out of the boring closet," well it's just that in the past two days I've gotten two invitations to go to the movies in Limketkai Mall. One from my friends from the Rotary Youth City Council, and another from my good ol' cousins.

But you know what?

I'm not sure I want to go with any of them.

It's not because I don't like them - NO! Not at all. I love these people sooooo much - but rather, I feel like if I tag along with any of them, I'll be a wet blanket or something.

Because, like I've told you, I'm not fun!

When I go to the mall (with my family) we usually just check out the pet store, the bookstores, and then The Tunnel (you know, the place in Ketkai where you can find China-made cellphones and clothes and such).

Gahhh. I'm so boring, I'm putting myself to sleep.

Are you suffering from insomnia? Spend a few minutes with me and that'll be aaaaall taken care of.

. . .

I'm also worried about how I'm ever gonna make friends in Manila. It's not that I'm a shy person, because I know how to introduce myself and make small talk and such, but what comes next after I've exhausted all my "Hello! What's your course?"'s and "Where are you from?"'s? (Okay I do NOT know how to punctuate that properly.)

I'm not a talkative person. Even when I'm with my best friends, I'm pretty quiet.

I guess I can be noisy when there's a good topic on hand, but otherwise, I don't say much.

Surprising, no? How can I be so quiet in real life when I'm so noisy on the Internet?

I dunno. I can't answer that myself.

. . .

Anyway. I guess the big question that's circling inside myself now is, when I'm in Manila, should I...

a.) Be myself? My quiet, untalkative self? or

b.) Put on a mask and pretend to be loud and peppy and full of chatter? :/

Help.

Please.

    Hi! I'm a fellow freshie from the OrSem Forums :)

    Quote: "Be yourself, everybody else is taken."

    Hm, I find that pretending to be what you're not will only disappoint yourself -- and the friends you will find -- in the end. Not to mention tire yourself out for no reason.

    I'm pretty boring myself. Tapulan pud ko mu storya kung dili ko interesado. (And I find gregarious people exciting at first and later find it exhausting when they're too brash and energetic for me :/)

    Its okay to be boring...just not every time, ALL the time. When the activity seems interesting, investing some time and energy might be well worth it when you look back.

    Hahaha, ang haba na pala. Best wishes :D (ako rin kinakabahan about college xD)

summer plans

I found out yesterday from Alessi that our last exam is on the 23rd! (Yeah, I haven't gotten around to checking the March calendar yet.) My flight's on the 26th (with Gerard! ), so that gives me three extra days of ~COMPLETE IDLENESS~ woohoo. So anyway. I'm really excited to go home. It's just two weeks though, and after that, TWO MONTHS of summer classes. Which means I'll have to fly all the way back to sweltering Manila to take up the TWO SUBJECTS that I and the rest of the Health Sci majors are required to take. Gahh. I can feel the heat waves reverberating towards me from the future. Right. Lest I digress any further, here are some of my (our) ~summer plans~ roflmao March:  Go home and be happy as a bee for two weeks! April-May: Take Psychology and German. -_- Take the Carlos Celdran tour around Manila! n_n Sign up for PAWS! At last! Light up some environmentally destructive floating lanterns, and then later lecture everyone on how they've just...

women superheroes

A lot of my close friends are boys. Boys who like comic books. I hang around them a lot, and usually we talk about random things like physics and foreigners and lobsters having no pain receptors. We went to watch The Amazing Spiderman on a whim just recently. It was fun. Sometimes it's not so fun. I used to get a lot of sandwich jokes until those stopped being funny. Now I get "d'oh you're a girl so of course you hate comic books" jokes. I don't hate comic books. I love Neil Gaiman's Sandman . And Walking Dead, too. And Scott Pilgrim!!! But I don't read superhero comics. It's hard to be interested in them when most, if not all, of the superhero women 1.) have gigantic breasts, 2.) wear sexy clothing, and 3.) are always in stereotypically feminine poses. What if the male characters posed like the female ones? (c) Kevin Bolk And look at that. Why can't the men wear clothes as revealing as the women, or women wear clothes as concealing...

Box O' Rice

To be honest, I don't even remember if it's called Box OF Rice, or Box O' Rice. I hope it's Box O' Rice. It just sounds cooler that way. But anyway. I went there last Friday for dinner, and it was my first time there. It's a cozy little place right next to my dorm, and they serve exactly what their name implies: boxes of rice. Boxes of rice with toppings, of course. Emphasis on the word "boxes." Which means there are no plates involved. Which means you can bring the boxes in and out of the store as you please. I should've noted this earlier, because I embarrassed myself at the counter, telling the cashier TWICE that I wanted my box of rice "to go." Durrr. Boxed na. To go pa. Anyway, the food itself is good, for P60-P70 priced meals. My only complaint is that their meat-to-rice ratio needs a bit more tweaking. There's just so much rice, and so little of anything else! That's Pinoy portioning for you. Actually, the store don...
