finishing a novel

-
Guess what.

I'VE FINISHED MY NOVEL, THAT'S WHAT! (Evidenced by the full green bar on the right side of your screen. 101%! Hahaha!)

Here's what the inside of my head is like right now:

IMAGINARY INTERVIEWER:
I heard you finished your novel in under a month. That's impressive! 

ME: 
Thank you so much! I put a lot of effort into it.

CONAN O'BRIEN:
Tell us again what your novel's about.

ME:
Um... It has something to do with the universe.

CONAN O'BRIEN:
Go on. What else is in your novel, aside from the universe?

ME:
Um, teenagers.

CONAN O'BRIEN:
What happens to the teenagers?

ME:
Uh... They stumble upon a portal... That, um... Takes them to other dimensions. 


CONAN O'BRIEN: 
When can I get a copy?

ME:
I'm flattered, Coco, but I'm not giving copies out to anybody right now. 

CONAN O'BRIEN:
Why not?

ME:
 To put it gently, my "novel" is where good grammar and coherent story lines go to die. 

CONAN O'BRIEN: 
Well Stephenie Meyer's already got those categories down pat! 
Your story can't possibly be any worse than any of her novels. 

ME:
Hahaha! Thank you. I guess. 

CONAN O'BRIEN:
So what's next for our newest young novelist?

ME:
December is National Novel Editing Month! 
I'll go edit my book, and then I'll start showing it to people. 

CONAN:
Tell us again what was the inspiration for this book.

ME:
November was National Novel Writing Month! 
It was supposed to be a big thing, but it didn't get a lot of publicity. So.

CONAN:
Okay, that's all the time we have folks. Come on, I'll treat you to some ice cream.

ME:
I would love a Coffee Crumble, please.

ICE CREAM MAN:
Here we go. One Coffee Crumble for the nice novelist girl.

ME:
Thank you very much, Daniel Radcliffe.

In other news...

Left to right: AC, Jess, Miah, Ren, me, Deo. Tin was here too, but she left early!

I spent tonight at the Nicanor Abelardo Hall in UP Diliman with these guys, watching Miah's concert (or, as Deo so bluntly puts it, Miah's choir's concert), and I had a blast. Everybody go get tickets to see the Kilyawan Male Choir! :D

    Andy, why on Earth would I ever show my novel to you now that I know you're a harsh critic? I mean, I already know it's a first-grade* novel. I don't need anyone to tell me that again. :))

    *first-grade = A six-year-old could have written it.

    I'm pretty sure it's Rupert Grint who owns an ice cream truck, not Daniel Radcliffe.

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...
