pre-plane jitters

The beginning of my new life... It's tomorrow.

TOMORROW.

It's unsettling. It makes me uncomfortable. I don't like this feeling.

It's like being pushed off an airplane and not knowing whether your parachute works.

It's like climbing up a tall, tall metal ladder and stepping on the very edge of the diving board, peering down at the ice-cold pool you're going to have to plunge into.

It's like drinking too much pineapple juice and then getting your intestines all knotted up from the acid.

Oh wait. That last part actually happened. But you get the idea.

Anyway, so how am I spending this lovely sunny day in Cagayan de Oro City with my family, you ask? Well, so far, I've accomplished the following:

  • Got my favorite pillow back from the dry cleaners. He's a lot cleaner now :3 (yes, he's a "he")
  • Did some last-minute shopping with Momsie.
  • Ate nachos with Momlet.
  • Ate a burrito with the Momster.
  • Reserved some tickets for a visit home in August! :D
  • Tried out three different nicknames for Mom.
  • Complained to the Ateneo online team about the wrong data on my Student Information page.
That's all for now. I'm going out later with the fam for a big dinner - I get to pick the place, of course. :)

Be seeing you in Manila! Wish me luck ;)

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...
