I CAN'T WRITE!!! 

Why do people not notice this? Have you actually read any of my blogs? They're not about anything relevant at all, plus they're all messy and unorganized and unstructured-

And now here is this blank MS Word screen that I'm supposed to fill with 2-3 pages worth of words. WORDS. That actually make sense when strung together. COHERENT. SENTENCES.

I have to write an essay for English 12 as a continuation of Walter Benjamin's up to present time. Oh, and what's his essay about, you ask?

I HAVE NO FREAKING IDEA.

Well, actually I do. I get the iea that it's about the work of art in the age of mechanical reproduction.

Oh, have I mentioned the title of Benjamin's essay is The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction? 

So basically, I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT BENJAMIN IS TRYING TO TELL ME.

All I understand is this:
  1. He uses the word "aura" a lot
  2. Art is supposed to be reproduced so that the masses can view it
How on Earth am I supposed to write two pages on that?! 

In truth, I actually can. I'm used to stretching out sentences and paragraphs to make them longer than they actually should be. But it'll be like adding too much water to your orange juice - it's gonna end up tasting like nothing.

I really wish I could sleep right now and forget about this stupid paper.

STUPID PAPER STUPID PAPER STUPID PAPER!!!!!!!!

    Thanks Karlo and Sandy! :)
    Karlo: Are YOU a blogger too? :O What's your link? :)

    Anonymous: I dunno yet. The teacher hasn't given us back our papers. But I'm not excited to see my grade. My paper was so flat and factual, while everyone else had really good opinions on things :'(

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...
