the life and times of a blue boy…

(initial post got destroyed coz’ PC suddenly restarted…*shrug* oh well)

The static fills the air, a white-washed torrent of a never-ending sound. It goes on and on, with no particular care; seeing it fit to drone about and do nothing. It replaces everything else, and imposes its presence.

Too much of it.

The rain hasn’t stopped for a long time. Thanks to it, it has caused suspension of classes for Monday and Tuesday. Wonderful.

Of course, like any regular student, I do like having classes suspended every now and then. But not when there’s too much to do and the teachers are going to rush us to speed things up. Now that wouldn’t be a good holiday.

But alas, it has happened, and its omnipresent drops cannot be escaped. It has gotten boring. Even the TV gives little amusement.

Blah.

And it has been unpredictable. It stops, what follows a sudden lull, only to be replaced by the same sound again.

Perhaps that’s what it does best.

The violence around has been escalating, so much conflict. Hm…..

Aarg. This horrible Chem lab has been sucking my time. And I’m getting hungry. lol

Now the post has succumbed to being no good.

UAAP (Ateneo is up 3-0). Wala lang.

It was a horrible Math test.

What more can I say?

There are other things I wanted to say, but I kinda forgot them. And stuff to do is crippling all that. So much for creative writing.

At least Ateneo is up 3-0 in the UAAP standings. Yey.

Err.. I think it was my friend’s birthday yesterday. And advanced happy birthday to the twins who will be turning 18 You two are reaal old now.

I’m feeling quite in a disarray over the recent events. Well, not world events, but just my own little world. Okay, so that’s being selfish and apathetic but really, I’ve got concerns of my own Heh.

Sidetrack: It’s a whole weird hulabaloo of culture, rites, traditions. And that whole power relations (as I remember from Fil class). At the onset, it seems the actual act itself is not important. But when ignored, it seems you have made a grave offense, and answerable only to the High Tribunal yada. What-not. Well, maybe it’s ‘common courtesy’, but then again, that depends on the culture. One man’s respect would probably earn you someone else’s scoff.

Then again, maybe I’m oversensationalizing it (err is there even a word? hehe). Given certain people’s backgrounds, I guess it wouldn’t be unexpected. Or maybe it’s just really my fault. My whole ignorance and blithe unconcern. Maybe because in my own little culture it wasn’t that stressed. Of course, it’s my fault really. I’m the leacher, and so I’ll try to remedy that.

>.< Cultural what-nots, and power struggles. Aarg.

The day started out rather…moodily. I woke up initially at 4:30, telling myself I’d study for the Chem LT (long test). Of course when I woke up, it was raining, dark cold and forboding, and I simply went back to sleep. I knew I shouldn’t have done that >.<

Fast forward…well not that far, just 6:15, waking up and realizing it was still slightly raining. And my umbrella had been MIA since Friday. It just wasn’t one of those wonderful sunny days (or overcast, depends) where you could just frolick and bask in the sun. And of course, go to school.

OF course a Chem LT was waiting for me. And so I arrived, looking slightly flustered, and then even more distraught when I realized the test was haaard. >.< After a while though, my sane thinking and more rational self took over and  I was able to solve. Of course I”m sure I got at least 20 points XD (out of 100 haha).

So here I am, slaving away at this blog (which no one ever reads, but not that I mind). I still have an English thesis introduction to make, and a thousand other little things.

Which reminds me that someone off-handedly remarked (whether or not it was, is a different story): “(translated) (your school) is easy…” I wanted to blow up, puff and give a harange about how difficult it is, with the whole mess of doing all these requirements. But then I didn’t, couldn’t, and I wouldn’t anyway You just have to take such comments in stride.

(typing away on an ubuntu linux console…wonderful xD The specs of these must be nice..bt then again, I’m not too sure)

I’ve also got a table tennis practical test by 10am. Which I have no idea how to do >.<

I guess that’s it for now. There’s too much things to do, and so little time (and to think I still blogged heh)

Oh, and LT in Math tomorrow.

blah2x. After refusing to load multiple times, and f eeling crappy, (well it stilldoes). Oh well. I won’t bother too much though.

Yey. As of writing, Ateneo is up 2-0, defeating the UP Fighting Maroons 98-89. I’d love to say more, but it’s feeling crapright now. The keyboard is slow, unresponsive, and the system is far worse. But hey, it’s free, so I’ll live with that.

Pics are at fabilioh.com. I would have snatched them , but that would have been stealing. And yes, th ecomputer is feeling crap.

>.<

I was suppoesd to make a post yesterday, but then, some technicial difficulty. Page was taking forever to load. So not my fault.

Yesterday was supposed to be hell day. There were many requirements that needed to be submitted, yada2x and all that. But suddenly at around 12:20, it was announced that classes were suspended.

I could feel the release of stress. That felt really good. All so suddenly the worries disappeared.

Funny though, a lot of the people were still lingering around. Of course, to make arrangements for where to go what, and what to do yada. Can’t blame them. It’s like a big fat free cut Well, techinically it is.

And then I go home, and the rest is forgotten. And no class again today. What a wonderful life. LOL Although I’m not really too sure why there’s no class, could have been better if there was. Because that would mean lagging behind in other respects. Which would suck.

Then again, you can’t really blame the weather. ERr…coz’ there’s no one to blame?

I can’t linger for too long cause there are still things to do.

Yep.

I don’t even know if that’s a good thing ^_^ ERr.. i’m rambling again. Sorry

okay, so there are still lots of things to do.

 > the bread this morning sucked =.=” wonder why.

> So did the water smell funny. I gotta get that replaced.

I’m ranting once more. Still have a class at 10 and a bunch of other requirements to finish. And here I am, slaving around to get the blog posted. I must be crazy.

Yeep. Time to go back to work

Little things I have found out in my brief three week stay (phew, that title wasn’t too brief xD) (aka Things you Really Didn’t Need To Know)

* You can get a decent meal at the caf for 28 pesos. With rice. Of course, don’t expect it to be much.

* Hotdogs are ripoffs. Anywhere. Anytime. (No offense to those who do like that stuff. I also do, but given their price, naaah)

* Donuts sold for Php 10. Have suddenly become Php 13 when sold inside. What the..?

* Water is expensive. Don’t buy. LOL … xD I am such an anti-social. Let’s all stay in caves while we’re at it?? haha

* How come I have early morning classes in aircon rooms when it sure ain’t hot yet? And inveresely, where are the aircon classes when you need them?

* A plastic spoon and fork can amount to five pesos.

Okay to the upperclass, I’m sure you know all those stuff already and need not be enlightened. XD I”m sorry

haha… yep

No, it’s not a theme song. Just the song applicable for the day…which happened to be yesterday.

I’m just feeling rather ticked off, and…err…hmm… distraught (maybe the word is too strong). Of course I can rationalize that as being the effect of two major things yeterday:

1.) Math test…which I knew I wouldn’t do well in. Except that the last number looked so horribly hard during the test, but after my friend explained in 2 sentences (after the test xD Of course after, I wasn’t cheating haha)…it looked so painfully easy. Aarg.

2.) Five hour lab. I took nearly forever finishing up. Something was up. I have no idea why the hell that happened, and neither can I explain that. I really suck at this.

Oh well. I hope to get better. In theory.

And now back to my language woes. I’m still not good at the national language, finding myself groping for words. And yes, I do realize I sound rather funny.

Let’s stick to English xD

But of course there has been some progress.  I find myself talking to myself not in English anymore. Although after I snap out of it, and I realize, “what the…?” Well it will slowly soak itself up. Anyway, English is still a good medium. Used regularly in all classes…except of course for Fil. Where it’s probably banned, and they’ll spray your body with bullets for intermittent use (or even accidental use, we’ll never know).

Fil isn’t that bad, I’m just perfectly quiet. I may not be remembered, but so what? haha

I will have to be going in a while, PE is up next. Yes, yes, whatever. You don’t really care.

Am I homesick? I don’t think so. It’s just…different. Well of course, sure it could have been heck lot easier had I just lingered around, but I chose this, so I’m sticking with it (hopefully). I mean doing a lot of things by yourself isn’t a lot of fun, but then I guess that’s part of the package.

And now comes a rather…not exactly funny, but just anecdotal. Last year I was on the asking end, querying the college freshmen from my high school how college was, blah2x. Yada2x, all that. But now I find myself on the receiving end, being asked about this and that. haha… Nah, it’s nothing. Just..err… something that occured to me this morning or yesterday. It’s all blurry. Sorry.

And I think the milk I downed with the cereal yesterday wasn’t…err…exactly fresh. No wonder it had some weird tinge to it. And I thought it was the cereal. XD Yeah, blame blame blame.

Now it’s really time to go. 10 minutes to disintegrate. Blah.

^_^

Must be my longest post yet.
