JUNE 14 2005

After some time I thought it would not happen it was inevitable as change is inevitable in our lives. It has come to the day that Glenn will finally part ways and move to Canada.

I was told of the news after an accidental meeting in 129 Square whilst I was going to network. Apparently, Glenn will be sent off to Canada to live with Manuel and resume his studies there. The chance of him actually going through with it looks good and on August, we might well be on his way to a new life.

Today was the first day of school. There was traffic and it was hot, not a good combination. What's more, Math was going to be everyday, ugh. I really need to shape up again, I've been kinda out of it since, well... I've been out of it for a whole year. I dunno what's wrong with me, I'm usually up and ready to take up ANYTHING and succeed in it. Maybe I've lost something or forgot something important and it keeps me from being my more "normal" self.

Angelo came to Ateneo today much to my surprise. Angelo is one other friend of mine who moved to the United States sometime last year. It was great to meet him and catch up though I didn't get to spend much time because I had classes. Weird man, it's like people are going away and coming back this past few days. huh

Now here's something to lighten up things.

Myles, Glenn and I on Monday, got lost in Marikina. Apparently, you should never eat and drink while driving as Myles said it. We got lost in the Riverbanks and wasted 3 minutes haha. When we got back on the road, what do you know, they had road repairs in Krame all the way through Santolan. Biding our time, we engaged in a little conversation.

We saw this car that broke down in the middle of the street and the guy was pushing his car to (what luck) a repair shop on the side of the street. I was like, "Wow, what luck! I broke down near a repair shop" and we laughed for a while.

Next we engaged with some political discussions. I said the Philippines would be better off as a Parliament but then Myles disagreed saying its just the same, congressmen and senators with puppets. Glenn agreed to a dictatorship and we all agreed but then everyone here is stupid and corrupt so that won't work so Myles said "MONARCHY!" over... and over... and over... I said, "dude, a monarchy's just a puppet government you know" and he rebutted with, "at least we will have a king and queen and what's so different now anyways?" yeah, dude, you have a good point. MONARCHY!

Finally, I shared my D&D experience with Richmond wherein I had to roleplay a warrior with the mental capacity to communicate with only grunts. That game was weird. I had to roleplay him and I can't open doors because I'm too stupid to actually turn the knob and I just smash eveyrthing in my way but it was good haha.

In future prospects, MY IDOL : THE ONE AND ONLY NEIL GAIMAN IS COMING TO THE PHILIPPINES. I will have my Endless Nights signed and try my best to actually make something for the art competition. And then, BATMAN BEGINS!!! the one and only dark knight's most anticipated film will be showing tomorrow but I'll watch it on Saturday with friends so it's going to be wicked awesome.

That's it for now. Ride the Lightning.
