Perfect Day

How unlucky this day was.

First, I only brought PhP140.00 instead of the usual PhP200.00 allowance. Stupid me, I was able to save at least PhP60.00, but gave me headaches on how to make ends meet with that measly amount.

Second, my partner in software development wasn't able to come in our meeting. That's why we weren't able to present our subsystem in the consultation. And we weren't able to do something.

Third, all my transportation woes happened. All that I shared to are people that I don't want to: a fat guy, a beggar, a matron. Luckily, none of them were snatchers or holdupers. I've experienced another headache with a bus conductor because he didn't have change.

And as I get off the bus on the way home, wow, it's like passing on an obstacle course. First, I have to get off the fat guy seatmate, then sweethearts that don't want to be separated with each other. And they were standing at the middle of the passage. I thought after passing on that f*cking sweethearts, I was safe. But I'm not. I almost slipped on the way out as I stepped on a vomited substance.

And finally, I am still outside our house but my mother is already shouting at me. Damn, I know I'm still lucky to come home completely but this day is... I am hopeful this will not be the same tomorrow.

Passion

I read an article on Philippine Star (actually, the 22nd anniversary issue) about their columnists and their hobbies. Well, of course their first priority is their job, but they have their diversions.

For example, Ana Marie Pamintuan. Who'd ever thought that this hard-hitting columnist and executive editor of the Star has a passion for cooking and baking? How she'd find to do all of these I don't know, but certainly she's serving her passions very well.

But how can I have IT as a profession if my passion lies in music? Can somebody help me 'cause I'm really puzzled.

Beautiful U-Belt Girls

I didn't went home the usual EDSA way. I went home after school via Lawton. And because I came from PUP, this is the chance for me to see beautiful collegiate girls from U-Belt. Kolehiyalas from CEU, UE, FEU... oh my!

For PUPians, especially the activists, Mendiola used to be a battleground where they state their sentiments to the government. Not now. Because it's "peacetime," Mendiola is a haven of beautiful girls... hahahaha!

Finger

My finger got sprained (in Filipino terms, na-finger) during a basketball game, and the thing is, the game wasn't finished. Now, I am having a hard time moving it, although it feels much better now. I just hope that this would heal before Saturday since I'll be playing the organ for the Integrated Choir.

Afternoon Sunrise

I was on the way home Monday afternoon, after a day of grueling activities in the school. Everything was normal; the routine Crossing-Parkhomes route, the air conditioned bus, and the sky was cloudy. There's no traffic jam yet, as I left the school as early as 4 pm.

Yes, everything was normal, except when I saw this particular portion of the South Luzon Expressway, just right after the Filinvest Exit. The sky was just like sunrise in a province setting (since I was looking at trees at the shoulder lane), and it was past 5 in the afternoon!

Oh, I am having a hard time describing this, since I didn't have a camera to take pictures of it. And the whole afternoon, from that time up to 6pm, it was just like that. And by looking at it, especially from my seat in the bus, I was like, oh, I'm going to have my vacation in Batangas, together with someone... hahaha... Anyway, that scene gave me a good break from all the troubles and stress I'm having from my studies.
