the perils of

Why am I not asleep yet? It's 12:30 AM on THE first Saturday of the school year I'm going home. And NSTP (I think that stands for National Service Training Program) will kill me when I have to wake up later at 6.  What is up with NSTP anyway? The whole system is crazy. We're allowed only 9 hours of cuts, and already I've got 4 hours worth of cuts because I was late twenty minutes for the first meeting! >:( It's crazy. You can't be late, or forget your ID or your NSTP uniform or else BOOM you've got a 15,205-hour cut, and the next thing you know, you've FAILED NSTP, and you're spending your fifth year in Ateneo taking ONLY NSTP while your batchmates are off doing proper things with their proper lives.  I'm sorry, NSTP is not stupid. I really love the concept behind NSTP. It sounds revolutionary. But all these rules that they impose on us - it's FREAKING SCARY! I feel like if I wake up late, or leave my name tag or do even just the tinies...

Go ahead, Sophomore. You've earned it.       I am, of course, kidding. Nobody has a right to bully anyone. Except Kath Uy, because it is her birthday tomorrow and she is turning eighteen and she can bully the heck out of anyone she wants. ADVANCED HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATH! :D        So, sorry for the very delayed post. I HAVE BEEN SO BUSY. Everyone has. If you are a freshman, be sure to cherish every single waking moment that you spend NOT studying or NOT doing org work.       Here's what I've been busy with: (click to enlarge the busyness) I've been moonlighting as a "graphic" "artist" for the Health Sciences Society.  (Check ou...

(Click to enlarge. Or not.) Been trying out all sorts of new things with MS Paint. This cartoon here is the result of all that experimentation plus this week's worth of spiritual exhaustion. More on the latter some other time. I need to sleep now.
