random thoughts on the 6th of feb, 2005

1. i did one of the most impulsive things i have ever done in my life: just this afternoon in the travel expo in megamall, i bought a round-trip ticket and a 3 days 2 nights vacation to puerto princesa palawan without even meaning to buy it. and the good news is, we're going to extend that to a 4 days 3 nights vacation with a honda bay island hop, aside from the included underground boat ride and city tour.

2. i'm seriously excited about working on our final project for strat plan--a creative brief for secret deodorant.

3. a thought that entered my mind while i was in dasma village: i just don't know if the rich are overreacting (too paranoid) or the country is indeed no longer a safe place to live in, no matter which part of the country you are. why? when i dropped my video camera to my groupmate's house there, her house, inside a guarded village, has its own guard and high walls and gates.

4. since wednesday, i have been in and out of the house. until next week, i will be maintaining the same routine. blame it on work and final group projects.

5. i haven't reloaded my 24/7 call and text unlimited.

6. last night, after helping out in my comtech friends' thesis, we had midnight snack at ice bergs. darn. was craving for ice monster but it was close for some odd reason.

7. tomorrow, don and i will be going to poea/owwa/an NGO for the ofws. only God knows what we're going to find out there.

8. i only got a 2.75 for my midterm philo orals grade. i even asked my prof for some constructive criticisms and all he said was okay. and he gave me such a freaking low grade? what an ass.

9. before orals last friday, the girl who came before me was such a weirdo. she comes up to me and my friend and asked, "di ba 9'o clock ang start? bakit wala pa si Lagliva?" my friend and i were just looking at each other and didn't really know what to say. all that was in our minds was what the hell?! we're panicking here for the orals and this crazy stranger comes up to us and expects us to answer a question that only our teacher and God knows the answer to. not only that. after a while, she sees us religiously reading our notes and the thesis statements and once again comes up to me and said, "wag ka na mag-aral. baka makalimutan mo lang yung naaral mo." what the hell?! can't she mind her own business?! and lastly, she once again comes up to me and asked, "bakit masama ang atitud siyentismo?", and i answered (with an obviously annoyed tone and look), "ah kasi may mga theories yun at nagseset lang yung ng limitations." seemingly unsatisfied with my answer, she again insistently asked, "bakit nga?!" and i no longer could control my patience then, so i had to say, "ah, you know, you can go figure from what i said. the answer's pretty much there with what i said."
