Under the Stars

-
Okay, last night was one of the best nights of the year. SRSLY. I'm still a bit hungover from the awesomeness of last night (and this morning) and I'm too lazy to write coherent paragraphs. So instead, I will resort to the greatest thing ever invented in writing: bullet points!


Oh, but before I do, I guess I should take the time out to explain about Under the Stars for the benefit of the portion of my readership outside of Ateneo (that portion being comprised entirely of my parents, and possibly my sister).

See, Under the Stars is this annual event organized by the Loyola Film Circle (which I'm an active member of!) where lots of people gather at a grassy field in Ateneo and lie on mats or blankets to watch a movie under the stars. There's also beautiful Christmas lights, band performances, student films, and a bazaar.

It's a really big event where lots and lots of people come. However, this year, I'm guessing the numbers might have decreased because of Pulse. *shakes fist in air* WHY, PULSE? WHY?!?

Pulse is PMSA's annual org party (PMSA = Pre-Medical Society of the Ateneo, which I and most of my coursemates are a part of), and it's got quite a reputation for being... er, wild. Because of some conflict with the venue, Pulse was moved from November 26 to December 3 - the same date as Under the Stars!

As a result, my blockmates, whom I'd aggressively promoted Under the Stars to, were forced to pick between the two events. And when you ask people to pick between a nice peaceful evening out on an open field and a crazy blacklight party at Eastwood... :|

Let's just say that out of my thirty blockmates, the expected attendance was four - Albert, Diane, Andy, and me.

Okay, now on to the bullet points!

THINGS THAT MADE ME HAPPY YESTERDAY

  • Helping out at Under the Stars! Hello, sense of ~*fulfillment*~!
  • Seeing my Pulse-bound friends at Under the Stars. Rap was driving Bel, Jules, Vito and Nino over to the party, and they decided to meet up at JSEC Field! YAYZ! Thank you. It meant the world that you guys came, even if it was just for ten minutes or so. :))
  • Seeing my non-Pulse-bound friends! Hello Rucha, Jasonhaw, Bea, Miah, Jess, Andy, Stef, Albert and Danica!
  • Spending the rest of the night with my closest friends. :3 
  • The aftermath of the event, i.e. the happy gooey lovey status messages that people are posting! Squee~

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...
