pre-pizza party pensiveness

-
Hello, my five readers. I swear I've got a New Year's post in my Drafts box just waiting to be published, but I thought that tonight I'd defer from that; something else came up that I want to write about.

I'm going to be seeing my high school classmates later (pizza party at my house! U jelly, Block XX?), and by "later", I mean after I finish writing this, getting some sleep, cleaning the house, and attempting to make myself look presentable.

Yeahhh. I'm never one to organize gatherings, but around Christmas time I felt like I'd been neglecting my old friends. My mom wasn't too keen on letting people see what a mess our house was (is), but I promised I'd spiffy the place up myself. And so, my parents gave me the go signal. I think that they think I need to get out more.

I hate to admit it, but I think one of the reasons it took me so long to meet up with my old friends was that I didn't want them seeing how much weight I had gained. I know. What a complex and deep reason. Argh.

Now, after having so many of my relatives point out the rounded, hamster-like quality my cheeks have taken on, I've gotten quite used to the fact that I've gotten bigger. Next time somebody points it out, I will just smile and say "Thanks", like my angkong tells me I should.

Or, maybe I'll do this:

Old Friend: Aimee! Nanambok lagi ka. 
Me: Wow, thank you so much for pointing that out, Old Friend! My life is certainly a lot better now that you have told me that. I am flattered that out of all the topics in the world you could have chosen to talk to me about, you chose my weight! How very discerning of you! :)

:)) I'm kidding, of course. Why did that come out so bitter?

. . .

In other news, I have a load of schoolwork waiting for me back in my dorm room. Yeah, I purposely didn't bring my textbooks or my research paper envelope so that even if I wanted to start studying, I couldn't. And so far, I haven't gotten the urge to study at all. Sorry na lang, Tuesday Aimee, but you're going to have to deal with that lab report, Math homework, and final research paper all by yourself.

. . .

In other, other news, rejoice, blogdom, for today, Rap makes a blog! And writes in it, too!

    Maybe you could try going bald, Aims, so they'd have something else to talk about. Hahah. Happy New Year! :)

    Your talk about the new year's draft just reminded me to post on my blog after eons of neglect. x_x

    Andy: What do you need that extra weight for? :|

    Bianca: Good idea. :)) Hope you do post soon, Biancs!

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...
