letters from GMA

-

Guess who just got a letter from Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

It arrived in the mail this morning (two of them actually), and we were like, “WTH?!”

We thought that it was obviously a fake, because it was spelled “Malacañan” and not “Malacañang,” but when I checked the Internet, it turns out that Malacañan is the official English name of the Palace!

Weird. How come I never knew that? x_x

Anyway, the letter makes references to a government scholarship of some sort. My dad says it’s probably just GMA’s way of saying, “Hey. I GAVE you that scholarship, so LIKE ME, you effin ingrate!”

But you know what I’m thinking?

Anthraaaaax! :O

    hey, that's cool! i think you might be one of GMA's handpicked presidential scholars - and yeah, the "organization" handling them exists. why'd you get two though?

    Really, Ate San? Nawww, couldn't be. The letter was pretty vague man. I think it was because of my DOST scholarship.
    Haha I have no idea why we got two! Did you get one of these also? :)

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...
