manic midweek
i had a really hectic sched yesterday. actually, hindi sya dapat naging ganoon kahectic, if not for my refusal to wake up at 8 in the morning to start my day, begin dressing up and head to the university in the morning. factor din ang pagnanasa kong mapanood si kris aquino sa game knb. ewan kung bakit.
anyway, my day began at 10 in the morning. i was hoping i cud make it to UP from our house in bulacan if ill eat my breakfast, dress up and do my other supposedly early morning routine at that time. i was chasing time to be able to make it in our org photo shoot which starts at 12. but 12 noon came, i was still at home, watching game knb with my mom. bottomline, my efforts were all in vain.
i went to UP anyway, just to watch a film we were required (actually, not that required. i just wanted to help the hospitalized filipino prof. it was a fund-raising thing of sorts.) to watch for panpil17. i arrived at the campus 10 minutes before 2 (the film’s screening time), so i had to rush to the film center to get tickets and some decent seats. i met dodz kral (and a bunch of his SOD-mates) at the theater. after getting tickets, we got some seats (luckily) and waited for the movie. he updated me about his plans to shift to journ next year. i wished him luck, assured him he can get some help from me along the way, but told him that i, too, was still competitive.
anyway, i was praying the film we were about to watch had color and was not that old, but my prayers were not answered. it was a really old black and white film– one of ishmael bernal’s firsts. it was entitled "pagdating sa dulo". it was a pretty bizarre film, talking about film-making, and the love affair of a stripper who looks very much like keanna reeves and a taxi driver. the pacing was too slow. it just revolved around shootings. quarrels among the characters and surprisingly, a lot of bed scenes. didnt know they were that ’showy’ before.
anyway, i failed to finish the film because i was scheduled to have a buddy date with my org buddy (duh. that was a no-brainer) at 4 o’clock. it was some sort of blind buddy date, since i havent met her before. all i knew was her name: sophia. when i went to choco kiss, i practically searched for her. when i found her, we had the usual introductions, afterwhich we had a really cool conversation. she was fun to be with and i have to admit she’s cute. im lucky to be her buddy, coz i can sense the potential in her. by the way buddy, in case you’re reading this, thanks for the treat. just remember im here to help anytime.
after the fantastic buddy date, i went to the cmc building and spent some time with my orgmates at the skywalk. we kept ourselves busy thinking of our mutant names and superpowers for the org exhibit. i had a really fun time with xter, eli and tips. on our way home, adie shared some problems. it felt awkward listening to a problem i knew little about, so i just was silent most of the time.
i, eli and xter then had dinner at lutong bahay. i was shocked to realize that i eat relatively less amounts of food than they do. maybe my stomach got used to the cost-cutting thing. i dont know.
after dinner, i met my floormates from kalai (tim,jay-ar,ted,theok,tonigz,brocoy,even madam erli, lennen, and kuya juads had some aparisyon) along the way. they looked like some cult having their pot session outside kalai (since most were in black), but it turned out they were just eating isaw. we played jokes on some residents while chilling there. afterwards, we accompanied joy to ilang and met some stand-UP people there. they were nice people, i must say. on our way home, we did some silly graduation rites on the ilang gardens.
after that, i went to molave dorm to have my photo shoot c/o dodz. it was a fun time, though his cam had some problems and champ was walking all over the place. i also saw harold there. eli was with me during the photo shoot.
anyway, this blog entry is getting way too long i have to wrap it up. bottomline is i had a quite busy wednesday. thanks nga pala to buddy (again) for the treat, to my roommate, kuya allan, for the gonuts donuts. man. i was so full at the end of the day. anyway, un lang. til next time.
PS. Thanks to jonas for letting me use his PC. un lamang.
