Sundays at home

-
As you may or may not have guessed from the title, it is Sunday, and I am at home.

When I say "at home," I do not mean figuratively "at home," i.e. "Make yourself at home."

I mean literally, I am home. In my house. With my family. In the beautiful, beautiful city of Cagayan de Oro.

And what a bittersweet moment this is for me. For one thing, I got to spend three days with my family, whom I have never stopped thinking about since I left in the first place. It's felt like heaven.

But on the other hand, I haven't been able to enjoy it all that much. I know that there's a plane ticket waiting for me in my shoulder bag, telling me that an airplane is returning me to Manila tomorrow at 6:15 in the morning.

Oh no. I'm going to cry in the plane. I just know it.

. . .

Anyway, it's been an amazing weekend. It feels so weird coming home for a "break." Before, I had always wanted to go to Manila for a vacation! But it's the other way around now.

. . .

It's so weird, sleeping in my bed again and being able to turn on the TV without having to ask anyone's permission. All my stuff is still here. The light in the other room still hasn't been fixed... Even my dogs still look the same.

It feels like I never left!

It feels like everything I had experienced in Manila was some big, elaborate, vivid dream. And when I talked about it to my family and friends, I was simply retelling the bits and pieces of this dream...

. . .

Whatever. It's late at night and I'm not making sense. I'll get back to this tomorrow, if I have the time. See ya in Manila.

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...
