Quarter Life Musings

To eat or not to eat… that is the question. If A-jay is craving for tempura, I have been craving for Aveneto’s hungarian pesto pasta for the longest time! But no, I just simply cannot throw away the 2 hours I spend in the gym everyday. I still haven’t checked how much I weigh (and I probably won’t) but I feel I’ve lost at least 5 lbs already. Well I better! Last night A-jay could not believe I could last the night just on Wendy’s garden fresh salad and iced tea. But I did, and I hope I can keep up with all this shit hahaha…

We watched Madagascar last night. Yes it was funny but not in the level of Shrek. It just elicited a few smirks the story was bitin. We should’ve watched Star Wars instead.

They’re showing Batman and Robin on Movie Plus. I get confused with all the Batman movies that came out. One sequel I can’t stand is the one with Alicia Silverstone in it hehehe… Batman Begins will be shown next week I think. It’s not something I’m looking forward to watching… I’m more excited about Mr. and Mrs. Smith, War of the Worlds and Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (did I get that right?)

It’s not TGIF, I still have class tomorrow. Today was one of the worst, I’m having very very painful cramps and I’m breaking out in a cold sweat. I’ve been tossing and turning the whole afternoon. It seemed like pain was shooting up literally every minute. It only stopped while I finally decided to take paracetamol. I was able to sleep for a few hours. When I woke up I was quite ok, good thing Animal Planet’s The Most Extreme was on. They featured the top 10 outrageous flirts in the animal kingdom. They showed scorpions making love and they were in the top half. Did I really enjoy that part? Hahaha! I bet that would interest anyone

I felt so much pain hours ago I was thinking if there was something wrong with me because it has not been this painful before. And soon enough I was thinking about cancer, chemotherapy and even death, which I don’t think I’ll be afraid of. So much for a hyperactive imagination.

Uh oh it’s acting up again, the paracetamol I took hours ago probably wore off. I don’t understand what’s the problem…

I was chatting with my brother yesterday and told him that he should pick me up because it’s my first day at school (again). He vehemently asked "At bakit kita susunduin? Ano ka prep?!" I burst out laughing. And he added, "Agahan mo pagpunta, hahanapin mo pa section mo!" Hahaha! Good thing I wasn’t pikon. Well it’s my fault I still haven’t learned how to drive at this point. Well I just might. Next week!

My first day was ok, I had fun. I thought it was going to be difficult, transferring to the Dark Side and all (as my friend puts it). The three hours flew by without me noticing it. Well it looked promising, I hope my classes tomorrow would be as fun or at least as interesting. My classmates were few, but they seemed ok.

How sweet it is… to be bumming around! I’ve been like this for two weeks already. It would indeed be quite tight in terms of finances but I’m still afloat. I have yet to get my backpay in 1 1/2 months though. And I have to pay off insurance, my Globe bill, the payment for the USB stick I owe someone…. waah!

My hunch was right, Carrie would win. I wonder how the finals will go later. It’s weird that some people have actually watched it already, I thought Star’s telecast was live?! I’m sure Bo will get his own record deal anyway.

This will be my sixth day going to the gym, I hope it will pay off, it should! My chest muscles have been painful for the past week already, but today I’ll work out the chest daw. Yikes, I wonder if there’ll be anything left after all this hahaha!

There was a bulletin board post from someone selling a pair of blue Havaianas. Never really had an idea what it was, the first time I heard about it was on the radio. And so I checked it out. What the hell, a pair of rubber flip flops that costs at least 10 freaking dollars?! It wasn’t any different from the tsinelas being sold in the bangketa… the local Islander brand looked sturdier and it probably costs only 200 pesos at the most. Geez talk about exorbitance. Well this hostile reaction is probably brought about by several factors: a) the deadly humidity blanketing the metropolis; b) the looming reality of my bankruptcy; c) the anxiety of waiting for the ADMU and DLSU graduate school exam results; d) my upcoming demo for the ICA math coordinator; e) the frustration that I haven’t been to the beach yet! Do I sound stressed or what?!
