having no internet in the room while it's summer

-
Okay, I have been blogging really erratically this year. But can you blame me, really? When I don't have school, I'm living my regular, civilian life - and nothing interesting ever happens then. Except me getting a condo. That's pretty interesting, right? We're still looking for one more roommate, btw. :D heeheehee (see: this similarly desperate and shameless post)

Anyway, I guess I have some summer blogging to catch up on. For Holy Week, my family went to Dapitan! Woohoo!

Okay, you got us. My family never actually does holy things on Holy Week. While everyone else is out there reflecting and repenting, the Capinpuyans go a-splorin'. And how could you expect us to do anything else? Holy Week means no work for the parents, which means maximum family time. Why waste those precious moments sweating in a stuffy old church? I'm kidding, of course (sort of).

Anyway, now for the obligatory summer pictures, edited by my mom! How awesome is that.

River cruise through dapitan. Not much to see but trees, water, and fisherpeople, but it was relaxing.
Rizal's shirt at the Rizal Shrine. Looks like it could fit my baby brother!
My parents having their picture taken "in front" of the Rizal landing site statue.
 (As you can see, we were all just too lazy to get off the bus.)
Me and my sister showing off our healthy diet. 
That's all I'm showing. I have an inferiority complex when it comes to showing pictures, especially since I am now being followed by one of the coolest bloggers/photographers ever, Sonya Sison (hi, Sonya). Go check out her stuff!

Anyway, so summer class has started, and I haven't any Internet connection in my dorm room to get me by. What I do in my free time now is I read The Walking Dead. (Thank you Rap for introducing me to this beautiful, ongoing story.)

Last year, I remember I kept myself busy by looking forward to checking stuff off my summer to-do list, some of which included some pretty ambitious stuff, like take a walking tour from Carlos Celdran. But now I shall make up a more doable summer to-do list. Here are some stuff I'm looking forward to accomplishing this summer:
  1. Move into the condo
  2. Cook a good meal at the condo.
  3. Finish Life of Pi.
  4. Get started on Mockingjay.
  5. Watch Ponyo and Howl's Moving Castle
  6. Go to the 10a Alabama Arts and Crafts fair near Tomas Morato (I will hopefully be able to check this off my list by tonight. Hello again, wanderlust!)
  7. Watch The Walking Dead TV series.
  8. Upload more "Ateneo and You" videos.
That's it. I shall log off now because I think I've abused the Wi-Fi here at Peanut Butter and Co. too much. (I've downloaded three more episodes of Community. I need to catch up.) 

See you when I see you! Which will not be soon because I don't have Internet!

By the way, look at this video that my sister and I took of some pigs in Baungon, Bukidnon. You can hear us rambling in the background about how cute they are.

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...
