The Streak

In a few hours, and finally, my state of being awake shall cease. Not counting the 45minute sleep I've managed earlier the day, and the less than an hour nap before office proper, this would by far account for the longest time I am conscious. The last time I've had normal sleeping was tuesday, up to 7pm. So. Had I heeded the call of my friends to join the centennial parade for tuesday, that would've meant death for me earlier.

So. What have I done?
  • Tuesday Eve to Wednesday Dawn
  1. Went to work.
  2. Helped made a Ppt presentation. Of which will be in dire futility the morning afterwhich.
  3. Was commisioned for an OT, overtime, that is. And because I was Mr. Congeniality, I was all smiles. And an eye closed.
  4. More smiles. =) Di makapaghintay e. Yey.
  • Wednesday Morning to Wed Evening
  1. Arrived home, past 7am.
  2. Was horrified to have made an error in my project. Blah. Finished it off.
  3. Made a new record. Ate breakfast, bathed, dressed up. All in less than 30minutes. I owe it to Mama. She was immediately stressed when I came home because she was the one who prepared the meal and my semi-formal suit. Hay. miss na kita, mama.
  4. 8:30am. Went to Yuchengco Museum. Come worst. My bag snapped. The heat was scorching. My eyes were tired. The bus gave up on us passengers, so thank you taxi cab. Thank you traffic. Thank you precious legs, I had to run. Thank you time, for going slow I was late for 40minutes.
  5. Thank you, A/C. I would've appreciated more had the room been a lot colder. Yeah.
  6. Had a fun time. Then went for a stroll, the Ayala way. I never imagined that being left alone with the tall buildings would be so enjoying. And then, I went to CAS. More yey.
  7. More strolling. And tired myself even more by briskly walking. Oh well, at least I was eating majestically.
  8. Went to a mass. Part of the day's itinerary. Kelangan magpasalamat.
  9. Dined with friends.
  10. Good times ahead. :-P
  11. Went to work.

*Notice the absence of "Slept"*

  • Thursday Dawn up to-date
  1. Went home. 7:30am.
  2. Was scolded by dad. For slowly killing myself.
  3. Yey. 45minute sleep. Then made preparations for school.
  4. School.
  5. After-classes constituted some walking to and from, and window-shopping and lots of eating. And they were fun. But I was at the brink of shutdown. Symptoms? Feeling light-headed.
  6. Date with Blythe. Over pizza. But I was somewhere, virtually.
  7. Headed for work. And watched TV!
  8. Power nap.
  9. Now.

Right now, I yearn for sleep. What I would give for even a 4-hour sleep. Buti na lang talaga.

Seven Severities

Uh. Updates? Hmmm.. For wednesday, everything went to a slow. The day waaaas slow. But it was relatively fine. Just a few disappointments. *sigh* What do I expect?

1. Yay. Just had a minor argument with an overseas aunt. Tsk. Over the phone. Details would be spared from divulgence. It was, uh, normal naman. I mean, I had to assert myself. And weave a bunch of lies. She was a bit stern, but I kept on convincing myself and her for the reasons of my stay. I just felt a bit bad that all was in the works already, only one was pending. Ayan ha.

2. Finished some papers. And started working on my last project. Uggh. It drained me.

3. It would seem that the funds I am expecting would be delayed. I'm running low! Wahaha. Lately, I coerced myself to do a little audit of my expenditures, followed by a few grimaces. And I throw some of the receipts. One time, my mom saw them, and went to her rare monstrosity.

4. Speaking of my Mom, we haven't been much into speaking terms lately. Must've been that incident. She accused me for being arrogant. Haha. I think that was funny. It must be true. Ayus lang. Ma, I miss you. And 'wag na kasi paranoid, ok?

5. I went ballistic a while ago. The 1-km stretch that is the Alabang Rotonda did it. The traffic! It rivals EDSA! I was gaping at the horror of staying for almost an hour inside the jeepney. See 1km. There's no logic. And here's my favorite part. When I finally decided to walk, guess? The vehicles moved. And voila. No traffic. Another evidence of planetary conspiracy. Makes me wonder.

6. Learnt of a news. Gaaad.

7. Earlier this morning, Jerico got me into thinking, and it made me extremely weak. My knees were literally trembling. Haay. Saka na yan. Feeling ko, mauulit na naman ang trahedya ng highschool.

In Memoriam

1. Ako ay kasalukuyang busog. Yum. Nothing beats being full without the need to spend money. Happy birthday, Kittel! (Belated, Johann!)

2. Clair, wala lang. Hehe. Naaaks. Miss ka ulet ng silly friend mo. Tssss.

3. Stumbled upon a personal site kanina. Tas napahinga ako ng malalim. hehe. It is indeed nice knowing that I've served as a catalyst para umayos ang cosmics. Maayos na talaga ang lahat. *wiiide smiiile* Sana magtuloy tuloy na . I'll be the vanguard para mapanatili ang kaayusan.

4. Influx of funds. Matter of days. Can't wait. Tsk. Matagal na din akong nagtipid ha! Terible ito. Sa wakas, gastos lang ng sandamukal.

5. Haha. September ha. In memoriam. Isang taon na talaga. Clair! Hanap na tayo ng makakabitan ng GPS!

So that the World may know

The sudden proliferation of surveys and lists has left me with no choice, but to join the bandwagon. This incident has rendered me helpless and hapless, so to speak. I always retort that I do things in the name of Camaraderie. Certainly not a name of a woman.

Anyway, here's my version of the Weird Things survey.

1. My brother, Randolfh and I, share an unusual ugali. Whenever we see something funny on the boob-tube, we would suddenly blast each other with out-of-this-world antics. Say, whenever we see Alice in wonderland series (currently our fave show) being shown on QTV11 every 9:30am, weekdays, we go into an instant stupor and howl like some wolves. We mimic sound produced by animals. Probably brought about by the show's genre. The type in which you dont have to think of anything except breathing and occasional drooling over. We also punch each other. Sometimes I hurl the broomstick. Or hit him with the tabo. Or splatter him with hot water. He would retaliate by punching me back. Or slapping my nape.

2. The rain brings me joy and contentment. The recent Church-wide praying is a work of a genius! How I wish everyday is a raining day. It not only uplifts my spirits, but the cool air soothes my body, and promptly invites me to go on an early snooze. And what better way to celebrate life lying on the bed, eating champorado, watching news or playing LAN warcraft.

3. Sundays are ought to be spent with going to mass in the sked. I like it when I go to mass on an early Sunday night. I get to walk 2 to 3 kms. Or more. I usually walk when I need to think things over. My mind is at its best when my legs are on a trek. Walking is also leisurely done. And of course, when frugality sinks in. Or merely when I'm penniless.

4. Lately, I have this fascination on billboards. I'm most pleased when I'm aboard a vehicle along EDSA. I get to see lotsa billboards. Gigantic ones, along guadalupe are such things of beauty. I always wanted that big CLEAR ad near MRT-Guad. And not to mention the Bea Alonzo picturesque and John Lloyd post in Magallanes Interchange (...). I wonder if there's a term for this kind of wanting.

5. My day could be consumed just by reading books. Sometimes, I spend hours staring at the screen of the PC, just browsing Wikipedia. General Info supplies me with so much energy it could pass for a multivitamin. Or probably Bloomberg. Economics interests me much as well. Nikko and I have the same propensity: Junior economists of UPManila. We just need to be tapped.

6.Up until my being a 15-year old, I was not accustomed to taking in medicines. I would always reason out that my body could handle sicknesses, and I was really, really afraid I'd develop some kind of tolerance. Buti na lang, I overcame that notion. Although I still do them in moderation.

7.I usually follow a ritual whenever I bathe. Recently, I oblige myself to count 5 washes before hitting the soap. And then 5 again. All in 45 minutes. And I added another ritual afterwards. Haha.

8. Whenever I go into an outburst, I usually divert the anger towards inanimate objects. I hit them with all my might. I usually associate objects with people. I hope the pain I inflict ricochets to them. Less violent.

Padaplis-hangin

Ang mahirap sa mga pasaring, o padaplis-hangin, madami, kung hndi lahat, tinatamaan. Kahit hindi para sa kanila yun. Pero maigi na din siguro na ganito. At least, mukhang hindi magmimintis. Sasabihin ng iba na kaduwagan din 'to e. Pero kanya kanyang diskarte lang yan. Hindi naman lahat ng naglakas-loob nagtagumpay e.

Kung sinuman ang nakaisip gumawa ng ganito, I highly commend you. Nga pala, ginaya ko lang tong entry na to. Ayun. Syempre, for continuity, 20 din sila.

1.Kaibigan kita. Pero, kakaiba. Natatakot ako sa'yo. I mean, sa inyo. Hindi siguro takot. More of, ilag. Nangingilag. Simula nung sambitin mo yung apat na salitang iyon. Tas ginaya pa nung isa. At nung isa. Ayus lang sana e. Kaso hndi naman kelangan sabihin. Kung alam niyo lang ang mga pangyayari.

2. Ikaw naman. Dati naman ayus e. Pero siguro hndi magandang vibes. Tas lately, may ginawa ka pa na karumal-dumal. Dapat di nalang ngyari yun. Tgnan mo. Hndi na ata kita mapapatawad. For now.

3.Mabait ka naman. Yun lang. At napagod na lang ako bgla ng laging may initiative ako. Pero ayus na din naman. Eto na yung pinakakahintay ko e. Bumalik na lang sa normal.

4.Hindi talaga tayo dapat close. Kasi magkaiba tayo e. Kumbaga, dulo dulo tayo. Ubod ka ng bait. Andun ka pag gusto kita kulitin kasi may ikokonsulta ako. At hndi ka naman mag-aatubili. Tsk. Given different circumstances, malamang, sa ibang anggulo kita nakita. Tsk. Mahina pa naman ako sa ganyan sitwasyon. Vulnerable.

5.Ikaw naman. Tsk. Isa ka pa. Pero masaya ako andyan ka lang. Mangangapa ako pag wala ka. Nasambit mo dati na malamang madami kang hndi magagawa kung wala ako. Tatapatan ko yan. Malamang hndi ko malalalaman na madami pala akong magagawa, kung wala ka.

6.Aliw na aliw ako sayo. Pag kasama kita, parang ibang tao ako. Tas natatawa ka pa. Uy ha, hndi yun sadya. Medyo takot ako sayo. Pero siguro, kaakibat na talaga yun. Ayus lang. Nahuli ko na ang loob mo. Tiwala akong kahit ganyan naman, sa akin lang ang ganyang trato.

7.Simple lang. Galit ako sa'yo. Yung tipong nabubuhay, resurgent. Matindi. Sobrang tindi na you are worth a more lengthy column.

8.Masaya ako pag kasama kita. Parang obligado akong tumanda beyond my age pag kasama ka. Kasi alam kong I wouldn't keep up kung andito lang ako. Ayus naman, nagpapang-abot tayo. Kaya lang, takot din ako sayo. O siguro respeto. Whatever man yun. Siguro dahil hndi ka nag-aatubili sabihin ang totoo, kahit masakit pakinggan. Nakakatakot. Pero, anlaki ng itinulong mo sa pagkatao ko. Sobra. Natakot din ako. Parang bigla kong iniwan ang pagkabata.

9.Iniiwasan kita lately. Kasi madami din akong iniisip e. Gusto ko muna magconcentrate sa iilan. Guilty ako dahil hndi kita kinakausap. Kasi kilala mo ako. Kahit hndi mo obligahin, puproblemahin ko yan e. Kaso hndi ako handa talaga ngayun. Eto yung mga panahong gusto ko munang samahan ang sarili ko. Hayaan mo, lagi naman akong nagmamasid. Konting panahon lang naman to e.

10.Natatawa ako sayo. Pag kasama kita, carefree lang. Wala lang. Magaan ka naman kasama e. Pero ayun, hanggang dito lang to e. May nagawa ka sa akin dati. May nagawa din ako sayo. Pero ayus lang naman.

11.Grabe, kung alam mo lang. Tagal na nating di ngkikita ah? Isa ka pa. Gusto na din kita makakwentuhan e. Alam kong madami kang masasabi. At kadalasan, nagkakasundo tayo. At gusto ko na din ng ka-debate.

12.Alam kong alam mo. Nasabi ko ata dati 'to e. Gusto ko talaga. Pero alam mo na, masaya naman e. Nadala na din ako talaga. Kung pupunta dun, e di pupunta. Isipin na lang: mahaba-haba pa ang biyahe. Take the backseat, and enjoy the journey.

13.Ikaw. Malaki kang badtrip. Pero hindi naman ako galit. Medyo inggit lang. Maswerte ka. Ngayun, alam mo na na paborito ko ang mangga at mansanas. Kaso masama ka. Pinabayaan mo yung mansanas e. Tas ngayun may hawak hawak na naman na mangga. Sana kainin mo naman. Isama mo sa sistema mo. Hindi yung inuulit mo yung ginagawa mo. Sana maramdaman mo na hndi lahat may pribilehiyo ng parehong prutas. Baka naman saging ang gusto mo.

14.Pinagkakatuwaan kita minsan e. Pero hindi mo alam yun. Pero malaki talaga respeto ko sa'yo. Kaya lang, sana lawakan mo naman yang konsiderasyon mo. Kasi hindi lahat kaya ang pinagagawa mo. Tas demanding ka pa. Hinay-hinay lang ha. Kaya naman e. Wag ka lang manulak masyado.

15.Sana wag mo ako sandalan masyado. Kasi dapat ako ang gumagawa nun sa'yo. Kala mo malakas ako. Gusto ko din magpahinga minsan. Nalulungkot ako pag nakikita kitang parang nauupos na kandila. Kaya kailangang saluhin muna ang lahat. Pero inaaalalayan lang kita. Gusto kong makita na isang araw e maayos ka na. Mahirap humugot ng inspirasyon sa ganyang nangyayari.

16.Pasensya na talaga ha. Hindi ko masabi. Kasi pinapangunahan ako ng kung anuman. Siguro someday, magagawa ko naman. Malay mo bukas pala. Dapat ikaw ang nakakaalam nito e. Pero natatakot akong isama ka sa magulong mundo. Pero kung ipipilit mo naman, malamang mabago ang takbo ng desisyon ko.

17.Sana pag nalaman niyo ang lahat lahat, hndi kayo magalit. May rason ang lahat e. Kailangang gawin. Kailangang magsakripisyo. Intindihin niyo na lang. Malaking bagay yun, kung tutuusin.

18.Hindi ko makakalimutan nung kinausap mo ako habang tulog ang lahat. Sabay ata nating hinintay yung bukang-liwayway. Andami kong naisip nung sandaling iyon. Malawak ka mag-isip. Parang tumigil ang mundo nun. Naalala ko tuloy nung tinignan kita nung isang beses na tulog ka din. Hindi ata ako makahinga nun e. Mga 5 minuto.Tama nga sila lahat. Mabait ka. Ubod ng bait. At nag-emanate outward.

19.Kahit pa ako minsan ang nakakalimot, ikaw ata hindi. Lagi kang nagpaparamdam. Kahit pa nalaman mo ang isang bagay, wala kang ipinagbago. Kakaiba ka din e no. Pero masaya ako. Hindi lang halata. Sana mabigyan kita ng atensyon paminsan.

20.Wag ka na lang umalis. Yun lang muna. Hindi naman ako nagmamadali e. Eto lang muna ang gusto ko. Natatawa ako na may ibang mundo tayo na walang ibang pwedeng sumingit. Kahit pa pinagsabihan ako ng iilan na ding nilalang diyan. Sa totoo lang, ng gumulo ang lahat, at the end of the day, eto lang ang naiisip ko na perpektong nagawa ko.
