friends from home

-
Hello, blogdom.

I've just returned from a nice little "dinner" with Raul, who was a year ahead of me in high school and is now a year ahead of me in Ateneo. We talked about some really weird things, and I had a nice time, and I totally did not just accept his invitation to go out because I have trouble saying no to people. Hahaha! Thanks Raul!

Last night, I also went out with two of the nicest boys from Cagayan de Oro - Gerard and Jason (I mentioned them earlier, in this post). We hit Shakey's, failed at Dance Dance Revolution, and then spent the rest of the night talking about our lives from home.

They're great people, and hanging out with them makes me feel a lot closer to home. :)

Oh yeah, here are a couple of other things worth mentioning:

  1. I was at National Book Store earlier tonight, and all of a sudden these two girls just walk up to me and ask me what school I go to. They seemed harmless enough, and so I chatted with them awhile. They told me that they were part of an org from UP offering free classes for the piano, drums, guitar, and the like, and they asked me if I was intersted in joining. I told them I was (hello, free drumming classes!), and so they invited me to attend a meeting this Sunday (tomorrow!) somewhere above Mag.net Cafe'. Me having trouble saying no to people, and also being the impulsive person that I am, I accepted, and they gave me their card. Turns out, it was a fellowship meeting I had just agreed to join, and those girls were from the UP C.R.E.E.D. 
  2. Hello, Andy!
  3. I went to PARC (the Philippine Animal Rehabilitation Center) this afternoon, all prepared (with the proper documents!) to sign myself up as a volunteer. However, my trip seemed to be in vain, because the volunteer at the front desk (he was from Ateneo!) told me that the documents will be passed next Saturday, at the volunteer orientation which all people interested in volunteering are required to join. Not wanting to waste a perfectly good trip, I poked around the PAWS area a bit more to see what there was to see. The place smelled like animals and medicine, but all the cats and dogs around looked like they were being given some real TLC. There were some extremely fat cats there. :3
  4. If any of you guys are interested in helping out at PAWS, join the orientation next Saturday, November 20, from 10 AM to 1 PM at the PARC along Aurora Boulevard! :D For more details visit www.paws.org.ph :)

    Hi Andy! Again!

    Mom: Actually, we're required to already have rabies shots. Haha. There's always the risk of getting scratched or bitten, but I highly doubt that they'll be pairing up newbies like me with the animals that have aggressive tendencies.

    And hey're not responsible daw for any damage incurred by the animals. ._.

    U.P. CREED Stands for University of the Philippines Catholic Whatever Whatever Whatever. Basta it's a religious org. I'll tell you about it over the phone nalang momster.

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...
