Now it's time to do what I do best: Update my blog.

Yes, another weekend has been bestowed upon me, the great Geminifive! Hahaha, just kidding. I just wanted a majestic introduction to what I'm going to be writing about here.

Finally, Friday has come to me. Monday and Tuesday will be my last days of summer class. Of course, I have to study for those days since I'll be having my final examinations by then. Saturday and Sunday are my days of rest, and, sadly, study. I will have to extract the brain and spinal cord of our (mine and Lili's) maggot-infested cat. Of all the cats in our class, why did it have to be ours that would be infected? Oh man... The others were lucky they just had molds on the legs of their specimens. Sigh, oh well, now I just have to take out the central nervous system and then I could already throw or give a proper burial to the cat.

This morning, I learned a new word from Lilirose: "HUBRIS". I thought was a good definition because of Lili's explanation, but later when I looked in the dictionary, it was a negative connotation. It is excessive pride or self-confidence. Bad, Lili, bad!!!

Oh yes, last Monday, I was able to buy headphones with a microphone included. Now I could record anything I want. Recently, my voice, which is, in my perception, is embarrassing. Oh crap, I almost forgot how to spell that last word of the previous sentence. Hahaha, I'm going crazy!

Okay, that's all for now. Toodles!

my first blog for the summer...considering that I'm bored out of my skull, I have managed to blog about something/ anything trivial; not that there was any excitement in my summer anyway... same as every year: BUM.

"I see stars..."

that simple phrase had me laughing until I turned blue [okay, exag] but the truth is, I haven't really laughed that much in a long time, since there isn't really anything to laugh about... you know that kind of laugh... an honest laugh.It wasn't forced and it was premeditated... an honest, spontaneous laugh.

you may think that these kinds of things are natural and that it comes often, but the truth is, things like honest laughs really are hard to come by.

expressions aren't what they seem anymore. As much as your face wants to tell everybody around you exactly how you feel, it doesn't. What's worse is that it's actually trying to convince the person wearing that said expression to feel that way.

I smiled yesterday. You know? that kind of smile that pops out of nowhere and the fact that it made you smile, made your smile even bigger. and then after a while, [I'm not trying to be emo here but...] I realized that no matter how good that smile felt, burried beneath it was anything but happiness. The more I thought about the thing/person that made me smile, made me realize that there really wasn't any reason why I should be smiling in the first place.

I just hate it when I think too much.

Instead of just being happy for the moment, I just ruined by thinking of all the things why I shouldn't be.

I smiled a real smile... and just as fast as that smile appeared, it was gone. Smiles were supposed to make people happy, not make them regret things or think about impossible what-if situations, but that's just exactly how I felt.

facial expressions aren't what they used to be. tears are for both sadness and happiness and apparently so are smiles. nothing is what it seems to be anymore; and you'll keep thinking its one or the other.

If you yourself, don't know how you feel, how will you be able to convince the people around you?

Notice that I haven't been posting any health-related or goal-related entries? Sorry, I kind of lost motivation here. Also, I've been busy with summer classes, which is making me tired. Maybe I'll be able to jog this early evening. I'll try to follow the tip of my cousin: "Run. Don't walk. If you walk, you'll never run again." Hard core, right? I just hope I'd be able to do that so that I could lose some bodyfat.

About my cousin, he invited me to come train with him. Since he's already started, I'm the one who's going to have a hard time keeping up. So I hope I survive this sort of suicide workout. He said he's going to take me to the gym he goes to and also to take me boxing. Hehehe. Tentatively, I'll be exercising with him for five days, a few days before my class starts. Of course I'd be enrolled at school already by the time I start working my butt off for this thing.

So, maybe to help me not get fatigued immediately for that coming event, I'll go jogging a few times each week. I gotta increase my motivation, the INTRINSIC one!! My desire to be fit should come from within me! I need to get pumped up for it! I don't wanna die during the tiresome training.

I'm relieved that we won't have to go to Mindoro this weekend. Whew! We'd be camping and staying in an uber-hot place. And it's not Puerto Galera (although I want to go there), which I haven't been at. I miss just staying at home, and doing my favorite thing: slacking off. Hahaha!!!

That's all for now. I'm tired!

It was a looong day.

Since Monday, I've been "boarding" at Manila Hotel, one of the Philippines' finest hotels. Of course, I didn't pay for it. Even my parents didn't. Mother was lucky enough to be granted a free hotel accommodation by Sandoz, a drug company, that invited the doctors to attend their convention. But, mother wasn't listed for those who were registered for the convention. But she had the hotel accommodation.

She didn't want to waste the opportunity. So, she brought along Frankie and me to stay for two nights there. Our room was 605 and it had a cabana theme: wood tiles, wooden chairs, and cabinets. I expected carpeted floor, but anyway it was fine. At least it was cold.

I had a quiz today, on identification of the muscles of the cat. Great, right? Annoying practical exam. I hated it. I was sorta ready but I wasn't sure with some of my answers. I hope I get I high score. And I have two quizzes tomorrow. I kinda have to study now. But anyway, I still have stuff to tell.

After my class [good thing it ended early], Albert and I commuted to Rogationist College, Silang, Cavite. We arrived there at around 1PM, ate a sandwich, and  got our yearbooks. Then we hung around and waited for Ms. Marie so that I could borrow her mass pieces. Mae came, finally, after waking up when we had just arrived at the school. Hehehe, we talked and laughed and looked at the yearbook. Ms. Marie had arrived when we were already laughing and being loud. We kinda got silent. Hehehe, got shy. She was reddish. What do I mean? She had sun burn all over her body. It tempted me to poke her arm. Hehehe, I was taunting. I borrowed pieces...

She was kind enough to take us to Silang with her car. There. Long day!

Today, I wanted to try something new.

Aside from the usual being-almost-late arrival at school every morning, I have decided to try out the LRT going to Baclaran. I think it's called the LRT 1. So after the draining lab class where we had to dissect the muscles of the cat (we were already studying the forearm), we (Kris, Cris, Lili, and I) had lunch at KFC, fondly called "kipsy" by Lili (which is starting to spread to Kris). Most of us ordered the usual: chicken steak. That was one of the cheapest meals there.

After eating, I went out of the campus and waited for a jeepney. I had to ask someone which jeep goes to Recto. I forgot that the vehicles don't go exactly to that area so I went down at Quiapo and walked to the LRT (Recto) Station. It took me awhile to get around to arrive at the Doroteo Jose Station. Whew, my feet were hurting already. A single-journey ticket to Baclaran costed P15. I felt a little better because the LRT was airconditioned. So, I went down at Baclaran, which seemed so busy since it's like Quiapo -- full of stuff to be sold. As I was walking to look for buses going to Cavite, I asked a lady how much were the slippers she was selling. It was kind of expensive. P85. I only had my commute money so, I just walked away.

Crap. I couldn't find any decent buses. I had to walk from Baclaran station going to EDSA, where there was also an LRT station. I should have gone down in that area. Shucks... I took a Jasper Jean bus. Bad move. The vehicle was so slow and the air conditioner was not that efficient in cooling the place. At least I had transportation. I went down near Kingsland Village and rode a GMA jeepney. The driver was so annoying because I had to remind him that he didn't give my change yet. Annoying!!!

I have been travelling since 1PM. Oh gosh, I arrived an hour ago. 4:30PM!!! What a waste of time.

I will just be sticking to riding a jeep going to Mabini, taking a San Agustin / Erjohn & Almark / Starliner / Lorna Express bus to Robinson's Pala-pala, riding a jeepney to Island Park, and walking home. That's an easier way. I won't get so tired of walking. My poor feet.
