You know how you can password-protect Word files? Well, I keep a file like that in my laptop to use as a virtual diary. I've been writing in it since the summer of 2009.

I mention this because I was going over my old entries yesterday, and I remembered how apathetic I had become during my last year of high school. Take for example this snippet I found, dated Thursday, August 20, 2009, 10:25 pm:
My life is so bleak. I wish I could just break away from all of this, you know? Break away... Unhinge myself from this bleakness that I seem to be so lost in. Somehow I wish I could go somewhere to get lost. To wander around. To find myself. And when I come back, I'll be refreshed and shiny and new again. Not like what I am now: so dull. So normal. So... jaded?
God. SO BLEAK. So bleak I can’t stand it anymore. 
I HAVE NO LIFE. Seriously. It’s all just Facebook. It's all just school, and homework, and endless sleep, and unfulfilled dreams.
For reasons I can't divulge on the Internet, I guess I'm not as satisfied with my high school life as my classmates and batchmates seem to be. The sad thing is, they say high school years will be the best years of your life. So if those years were my best... I shudder to think about my worst.

. . .

Anyway, enough of this emo crapola. I'm really happy now, living in the present. Living in Manila. Going to Ateneo, bonding with my blockmates, learning more about society and life and God and myself.

My college life is keeping me so busy that I don't have much time to write proper blog entries very often (which sucks, because I had promised to update this thang every day).  But alas, I have found the answer to this:

QUEUED POSTS!

That means that I can write all these blog posts at one time, and then publish one each day! That way, this thang really WILL be updated every day, and also, I will no longer be such a disappointment to you, my one and only Appeasement Anonymous!

So this is the first in a series of queued posts. It doesn't count as an actual, substancial blog, yes (and when have I ever written something like that?), but it'll have to suffice for now.

Busy, busy week I'm having. Next week will be even busier. There's gonna be something happening every day...

  • Monday- I'm attending Isapelikula, collective name for the Loyola Film Circle's filmmaking lessons. It's gonna be our second session, and it's gonna be held right after Block XX's Chemistry lab experiment that involves handling chemicals toxic enough to turn our brains into mush if we "inhale the resulting gas." Also, group reporting for English! (Have I mentioned that I'm really starting to regret being put in Honors English? I don't understand half the things Mr. Pulan makes us read! Although, Literature class is still really cool. It's my favorite subject now!) 
  • Tuesday - MATH LONG TESSSSSST
  • Wednesday - LITERATURE MIDTERMZSZSZ POHWZ
  • Thursday - MATH MIDTERSZSZSZ (The difference between the Midterms and the long test? The Math long test picks up where the previous one left off. The Midterms cover all the topics we took up from June to this week.)
  • Friday - Possibly our midterms for PE will be moved from tomorrow to next Friday, since classes had to be canceled last week. PLEASE LET IT BE MOVED, PLEASE, OH LORD... Oh, also, KAPELIKULA! Woohoo! It's this up-close-and-personal talk we're going to be having with Arnold Arre, writer, illustrator and director! And, the fun doesn't stop there! There's going to be FREE COFFEE AND SNACKS!!! MABUHAY LFC!!!
  • Saturday - UBE (Ultimate Bonding Experience) Pabangasan - it's an Amazing Race-type activity brought to you by the Health Sciences Society! MABUHAY HSS!!!! (Just thought I'd add that so my home org won't think I love LFC more than them.)
There you have it. This Saturday, I'm going out with Jason (high school classmate and current schoolmate in Ateneo) to visit Karen and Michael (high school classmates who are in Enderun) at Fort Bonifacio, and then we're going maaaaalling! Woohoo!

So, yes, August is a busy busy month. I'm going home on the 28th, by the way! MABUHAY CDOC!!!!

Hahaha. Advanced happy birthday to my sister Caitlin! MABUHAY CAIT-

Okay I'll stop now.

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...
