The Odd Number

Obviously, I'm exaggerating. But it had been a LOOOOOOOOOONG time, hasn't it? >deep breath< Here goes...

I. Explanations

Preoccupations: I had joined G&W. Why? For shallow reasons, actually. But I never thought I'd enjoy it as much as I do now. Why? .... Ooops. I'm afraid I really can't tell. Sorry. I thought about saying but something held me back. Oh well. Another is my course. Lotsa projects. As if that is new! Ha! Oh well. Third is my student assistantship. 13 hours more to go. Oh well. Oh, allow me to add this: quiz dates. Separated only by 2-3 days. Oh well. Gotta change my style. To quote my prof regarding my new hairstyle, "Mr. Bayanin, I see you got a haircut. I just hope that you change your life as well." Oh well. If it were only that easy....

II. Hair

Since I had mentioned it a while ago, I'll talk about it here in this section. I had a haircut last Tuesday. Why? I have my reasons. You could say that I grew tired of it. That I want a new look. That I lost a bet. Bottom line is I did. It's done. Funny thing is that I don't miss it as much as I thought I would. Anyway, a day before my long hair and I parted, I asked Magsy to lend me a camera. I took my pictures with it. And before that (it was a Saturday I think), I asked my cousin and sister to take my pictures while I do crazy stunts. I'll post them somewhere when I get a copy. So I thought, maybe that is why I don't have regrets; because I have so many pictures of myself with long hair. By the way, people told me I looked like a girl when I still had my long hair. Some even mistook me for one, calling me "Miss", "Ma'am", you get the picture right? When I went to school after I got my hair cut, people told me I look like a lesbian. Oh well. If that's how they see me, so be it. By the way, I got another haircut just a while ago. Hmmm... I might get addicted to this... Nah!

III. Sojureul Chuwahaeyo!

Chanelle invited us over to her house last Saturday. She said she'd prepare Korean food for us and that we'll drink til the next morning. We came, of course. Around 15 of us Malate people, I think. We had soju and beer. We ate spaghetti, tonkatsu, korean food, and lots more. Chanelle's househelp even prepared brunch for us before we left. I won't dwell on this too much. Some stuff should be kept within the circle. Oh well.

IV. I've been thinking...

About stuff. I don't know why, but IT is budding right now. Oh well. Kinda freaky really. Maybe I'm just not used to it. Anyway, I like it! Haha!

V. 5110

I lost my phone last Monday. I got it back a day after. This was the second time. The first was in G4. But I got it back then (obviously). Because if I didn't, I would never have lost it the second time, right? Forgive me; I lack sleep. Oh well. Anyway, for those who want the whole story, just tell me. It's quite a long one, really. Got my destiny phone back anyway. Yey!

VI. ORIENT2

It was a total waste of time. If not for Jobo, the class would be boring. It was just my luck that he enrolled in the same class as mine. Anyway, I slept through the latter part of ORIENT2. I did not get any sleep the night before it. Because if I did, I'd miss ORIENT and I'd fail. I can't afford to fail anymore. Oh well. Til next Saturday...

I guess I'll stop here. Kinulang ako sa hininga. Tama na yosi. I think I'm gonna quit... You don't believe me, do you? Wanna bet? Any takers?

It's 2:35 AM. I am trying my best to stay awake because I have ORIENT2 in about 5 hours and 25 minutes. I had just finished typing my resume and reflection paper around 30-40 minutes ago. Why am I updating my blog? Because I've run out of sites to visit, or so I think. I have to keep myself awake till 8 AM. Just until then and afterwards I can sleep inside the classroom. I can't afford to fail, right Arun? What to do? Hmm... Uh-dduh-ke? type type type type type type type type type type type type... oh well. feeling kinda down most of the day yesterday. why? first off, there was this exam (which i failed, of course) at 7:30 am. we ended at around 9am. Mati (which means eye in some language btw. i can't remember what exactly. ohwell) and I agreed to go grab a beer at greenplace. we each had one. anyway, after that, at around 10:something, we planned to go to the office. However, we met Yot, Soyster, and other Malate people in Agno and Mati decided to stay for more yosi. I, on the other hand already had 4 for that day so I can't afford to have some more. BTW, i had told myself that I won't be having more sticks for a particular day more than what i had for previous days. was that grammatically correct? anyway, for four days now, i haven't failed that promise to myself. I'll try to cut it down to 3 one day. i walked the long way to the office. the G&W office, hoping i'd see her there. I did; they had an EB meeting. I slept a much needed sleep. I couldn't have talked with her anyway; she was preoccupied. anyway, we went down together at around 11:40. I, for my class; she, for her "date" with someone. *tear* oh well. so you know what made me depressed then, huh? after my class, i went to the sports complex. we had a game against some team. my mood was reflected in the game. i graduated, meaning i had reached the allowable limit of personal fouls for a player. there was this one time when i couldn't properly defend the guy with the ball because someone was purposedly blocking my way (that was an illegal screen by that person btw). The guy drove in with the ball, prepped up for a shot, but got off-balanced because his teammate - the one blocking me - bumped into him. guess why. haha! we won by 40 points i think. i had only scored 2 points in that game. it was a very bad game for me. i dunno what caused it. could be the g&w girl and her date, the 7:30 exam, or the 9AM beer. i dunno. oh well. after the game, i went to the office, then to my introso class. nothing much happened. returned to the g&w office, met her just before she left for her class. talked a bit, she said my hair was all messed up. i immediately went in front of the mirror to fix it. turned around and she's gone. *tear* ces, from g&w asked if i want to join them for a drink at venue. i gladly obliged. at around 4:45, malate people texted me, told me to hurry to greenplace (again). went there at around 5:something. drank a bottle of beer before heading off to the malate office for our meeting. after the meeting, soyster and the others planned on drinking (more). I refused. went to the g&w office and started typing my resume, which i finished here. went home, ate, watched tv, went here. waiting for the right time to take a bath, get dressed, depart. i'll stop here. i'd be writing in present tense if i choose to continue. that would be hard to pull off. besides, i need to take a piss.

Paalam. It's now 3:10. Haha!

I seem to have no luck in this game. Oh well. Have to find a new one. But looking on the bright side, I could now get myself to write that story.

Malate, here I come (again).
