The "Who" in Who Cares

Took off the template, it got a little old, gotta move on...

This entry is brought to you by the computer of the Estacio family in Novaliches. Just got back from Buko Pie Republic and I feel the pressure. Can you say "LIbrary Research due on Tuesday?" It has become an entirely different situation. Enough about that.

So I stayed in the dorm last night with only one of my roommates. It was a friday so the place was almost empty, save for those who live in the provinces, who call that place their second home (or boat, if you see our room.*SIDENOTE*- if you think about it, the insides of our dormitory do look like a room inside Super Ferry, but without the on-board simming pool, the karaoke and bodies of water surrounding it. But if you look at the dorm from the outside, it looks like an abandoned hospital in the middle of nowhere).Anyways, it was already pass my bedtime (10:30, no really) but i decided to watch a DVD just to pass the time. It was my first time to watch "the Grudge" (the original, not the rip-off) and was it something. At this point, this is gonna get a little too detailed, so leave if you feel that what your reading is a waste of time and purpose. Thank you.

Imagine, you're in a dark room, with available light coming from the lamp post, and the weather was windy. My other roommate was already asleep and I was there, all alone. I wasn't typically a scaredy-cat (you should see my reactions when i see a scary movie, it ain't typical), but from the beginning til the end, except for the light moments, i was clutching my blanket as if to strangle it.but i didn't hide under it. i just held it to have a grip on something. not even reaching the half part of it, i was already scaring myself. a pile of cans just crashed, near our door, making my skin crawl for a sec. the wind outside was making stuff move around , which made me scan the place while watching. And just when you thought it wouldn't get any creepier, my other roommates came. two of them, to be precise. Spoilers. I thought they already went home. I thought wrong.At least they didn't bother to watch with me. the general feeling of fear was gone, but i did finish the movie, even if the lights were on and that they were chatting up a great deal of noise.one really has to time this stuff.

but i was impressed when i watched it. generaly, scary flicks don't really make an impression on me. but that one can be somewhat memorable. a really freaky part of the film was when the kid kept poping around the place, really shitty freaky. it just goes to show you that its not about the blood or the gore that makes one movie scary. its all about bending the minds of the viewers, psyching them out if you will. a movie is scary if it affects your mind.

Fear is like a drug. we dont know why we watch horror films when we know that they would scare the begeebers out of us. but to get that tingling feeling behind our necks is like taking in some uppers and downers, which usually last only at that moment. fear is healthy, if one thinks about it. we should always get our dose of screams every once and a while...

"Sh*t happens, live with it; good stuff happens, enjoy it."

I think my title-making skills are improving. Two posts in two days, wow. Can't wait, i guess am bored in the midst of all the paperwork. ironic...

Back in LB. I think the girl beside me looks swell. I'm typing here in a random computer shop in the boondocks. First in my agenda is to look for the evils of prostitution. position Paper. Oh, the girl covered her face. Saliva. Cough. (Random words are now being typed, i'm sorry...). Japanese food. I feel like having japanese food. Authentic japanese food, straight from Japan. Made by a Japanese dude. Using a chopsticks made from Japan. Listening to bubbly japanese conversations. Switching webpages while typing. Becoming counter-productive. Life in the open range. And.........stop.

Releasing a bit of madness. Gosh, my head hurts. and i'm not even exerting real effort. People, do you recall dissecting a frog/toad? I'm gonna do some splicing and dicing again and put it on a cardboard to be labelled. No, I'm not going to make it look like its posing or doing human activities that it certainly cannot do. Just one the other stuff i had to do which i just learned this day and forgot last week. Joy.

It took me a minute to write again. Glad to say i'm regaining my artistic side. with too much scientific stuff going on for me, i felt that its time to go back to the pen, pencil, and paper. Still not into that canvas and oil paints though. But I'm itching to do so by the time the sem ends. Do you know any workshops that teaches oil on canvass for 2 - 3 weeks? Pls. let me know...

Contrary to popular belief, a coconut is not a not but something else, which i have forgotten. the real nuts are...damn! I also forgot. But this is real info,0 i learned it from BOTANY 1, no joke. just forgot it though. Sorry.

Is anyone reading this...?!If you got a blog, pls. do tell me put it in the coments. I enjoy peeping into the minds of everyone. Makes me wish sometimes that i was a virus or something. maybe i'll review it?!how do you like that?Nah,i'm just too lazy to do that...tell me your blog ad.period.

Gonna end this one with Nina on the background (no kidding, they playing "love moves in mysterious ways" here). Holler at your boy. Peace out.

*that last part really sucks...

"Sh*t happens, live with it; good stuff happens, enjoy it."

See that? that's a template. Man, I'm telling you. You learn something new everyday...

By the way, thank you Pepe for the film treat. Nice to see Philippine cinema shaping up to be more than just slapstick, photocopies, and impossible stories of love.

Today I feel better compared to the last time I posted something here. Why? I dunno. But i have to say, I shouldn't be happy. I shouldn't be happy because I have to finish my Library Research paper, Position paper, and do research for our topic in the debate ("Should abortion be made legal?"; affirmative side; sucks like lemon). Besides that, i still have to study for some upcoming exams (they don't call it "long tests", just "exams," which is bummer to the nth degree). Times are hard but we gotta go on. Sometimes, I wish I have already graduated and already have a job. But that would mean being old and being more dull. So I guess I have to make do with this.

FYI, while I'm typing this, the connection got cut off. So guess how much time i wasted?

Now my pop's looking over my shoulder, looking at what i'm typing. i think he wants to catch me viewing porn or something. i dunno...

8)

Connection's back on, pop's gone, time to move on...

BTW, did you catch the news about SLEX (South LUzon Expressway) being flooded, and that people got stranded? I think that caused a bit of a panic cause when i passed through there from LB, no sweat. MAybe because i left in the afternoon?hmmmmm.....

I want to put a smile on my face because i'm happy but i don't know why and i can't kasi may singaw ako.

My pop came back...Kulit ah...can't say that to him, though...

Ah, updates! How they come at the most enexpected times...

I'm currently typing during my breaktime. After this, I'l go to PE1 and talk about stress. But what do you care? A little, I suppose?

So while you're still reading, I might as well talk about what I've been doing since my last update... Nothing, nothing special to talk about! Oh, how boring life is for me! I feel that you wish me dead right now, right? Felt like you've wasted your time, I suppose? Hahaha! SUFFER!!!!!

...

Sorry if I sounded like an asswipe a while ago. I think my emotions are synonyomous to the weather outside, dark and gloomy. Damn. Damn is the word. When I'm at home, I do nothing. When I'm in LB, I do nothing. Is this world nothing to me?!...Being carried away again...

Promise to put something else other than my rage in the next update...

Today's a Tuesday and I feel peachy keen, fine and dandy.

Last Saturday, I didn't go home to Manila because I had to go to a field trip in Calatagan, Batangas. It was nice, enjoyed it a bit. It was even almost educational. Did you know that... no, I guess you don't care...

I also learned to wash my own clothes during the weekend. I only realized that I really had to when I had a shortage of shirts and underwear. But I guess you don't care about that as well...

This week was exam barrage week, which is an understatement. Being a lame guy and all that, this is the only thing that I could tell you and I'm sorry. I did Zoo 1 Lec, which I feel confident I did well enough. Can't say the same for Zoo 1 Lab. Nag counter kasi kami last night eh. But it was fun, actually. Never regretted playing with the guys and gals here in LB. Just keep on enjoying, right?

Today is Tuesday. I think a bird got some of its poo on my notebook and my back. Or someone threw bits of mud at me. Can't tell...

Me thinks its time to go back to my ususal self. You know, the introvert, anti-social, colorless life of a man? OR maybe, I'm already am? I dunno...

I feel that I will visit LSGH during the sembreak. Its always nice to see the place where they teach you stuff. Also is nice to see the teachers there, young or otherwise.

What is the buzz on Formula 1? Last race I saw was Alonso's first win, which was like, months ago?(sigh) To be exiled, to enjoy or to rot in solitude....

I wish I could update this....

Another attempt at something I know will fail at some point.

At least I believe in the saying that it's not how many times you fall off a horse that matters, it's how many times you get back up again adn ide that horse. The guy who made this quote is probably paralyzed from the head down. I dunno.

Anyways, dito lang ako UPLB for those who still know squat about my current situation. People who ask me either think I'm in DLSU or somewhere as far as the Himalayas. But I assure you, I'm just as steady as a coconut tree here in the good ol' buko pie republic.Isko's and Iskas's, are your midterms already finished? I'm done with that. Got a 92% in MATH 11. Ok, right? It's cool. But not being boastful, the lessons feel recycled, meaning we already took it up in high school. So I sometimes feel a little guilty to the others who fail it. But the pity is momentary as I see that people here excel at stuff. Cutthroat Competition.See if I could handle it.

I usually hang out with the Green Boys here. PJ, JP, sometimes with Roy, but he's got a different life here, like all of us. We just meet at some time of the day to do stuff and talk about stuff. Lasallian once, Lasallian forever! oh yeah, we have an Ateanian friend here, Rog. Nice guy, but he's sorta like angry everytime you talk to him. I dunn, maybe he's just like that.

The sembreak's coming fast and I can't wait. Got so many things planned up ( if I don't get lazy, that is). If you got some sutff you want me to be around with, don't hesitate in telling me. I'm a boring guy and I am not a threat to anybody's personal and proffesional life.

Oh well, gotta go. I have a class in 10 minutes and I still have to walk for 20 minutes.

I wish i could update this....
