the last weekend in Manila, 2010 edition

-
I have done absolutely nothing today.

I repeat.

NOTHING.

Nothing productive, that is, except maybe tidying the room up a bit. My things are no longer invading my roommates' desk spaces, and all the dust bunnies I've been nursing since the start of the sem have been set freeeee.

What am I still doing in my now dustless dorm room when it's so close to Christmas and I should be at home with my family watching Christmas specials on TV, you ask? Well, Ateneo's break starts on the 23rd, which is only five days away from now. Until then, I've got school for three more days. 

Sigh. There's no one to talk to in my room. Ara and Jean are both in their respective homes now (UP Diliman's Christmas break started on the 18th), so I'm left with the-

There's this lady that sits on the bench outside Ken Afford, which is right beneath my room (both Ken Afford AND the bench, I mean), and every night she starts yelling at nobody in particular. She's yelling too fast for me to understand anything she's trying to say, but she sounds pretty mad.

In Bisaya, the word for it is "yaw-yaw". It basically means blabbering, but it has come to mean a more angry sort of blabbering. Yammering, if you will. 

I mention her because as I was writing this, she started yelling again (she still is right now) and it just -

IT BOTHERS ME SO MUCH!!!

It stresses me out. It's like I'M the one being yelled at, even though she can't see me and she doesn't even know me (WOAH, PANOPTICON MUCH). 

It would be pretty mean of me to say that I want her to shut up, because who knows - she might have a good reason to be angry at the world - but to be honest

I JUST WISH SHE WOULD SHUT UP!!!

You know how in The Sims 3, the bad mood of one Sim can bring down other Sims' moods as well? That's what's going on here. STOP YELLING, LADY!!! So much unnecessary stress. :-<

I'm sorry. This has been yet another incoherent rant brought to you by the letter B*.

*B for boredom. ~(-__-~)

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...
