Kiss the Bender
Basically, ELC test was a flunk and when I finally fathomed the gravity of my prophesized failure, it began to rain as if by coincidental cosmic timing, it began to rain. So I walked along with some blockmates of mine to World Chicken because my dad was going to pick me up there, all the while, little drops of rain poured on my brow. I didn't want to cry, not in front of anyone so I let the rain do the crying for me. When I got into the car though, the heavy rain started pouring but I wasn't outside anymore, I was in the car already, safe and dry. Funny eh? Forgive me, I'm such a fan for theatrics
The internet's been acting funny. LAN card was broken so I got stuck with a replacement crap card and pldt ain't helping either, their dsl service has been really sucky lately. Ah well, hope it turns out better. The YM peeps will have to wait though, I won't be going online all that much until the blasted thing is working so to the guys, girls and people of other orientations, sorry tmat_02 won't be there for a time. Gosh when I think about it, I'd rather talk to people in chat rather than face to face, seems safer for me anyways, I've kinda developed an anxiety with talking to people. I remember back in high school (invoked memory when Angelo came to visit) I had to go to a party and actually talk to people, yeah, that sucked haha. Conversation started with uh...uh...um...uh... so sad plus the fact that you have to deal with awkward silences.
On the upnote, I have a 3 day weekend and also, JM's here! I didn't think JM would be visiting the Philippines so this was a surprise. He met me at Ateneo and told me he's spending a part of his summer here so whee! Resident Evil 4 anyone or Karaoke again? hahaha.
I think more or less, the ECE blocks are starting to bond because of the hardships of ELC Lecture. Normally, I wouldn't even be conversing with some of them but lately, I have. Well, for the people who are having a hard time also, all the smart people can just frolic in sec field for all I care. Damn, we losing people.
I haven't heard from my non-ECE friends a lot. I wonder how they've been doing. Apparently, friendly chit-chat spans only across YM but then, I did meet Richmond, Berk and Ryan on very rare times around Ateneo and they don't fail to impart some funny and interesting insights at every chance. When I met Berk, he was trying to show Marvin an umbrella trick where you flick the umbrella to make it inside-out. When I met Richmond, we were talking about the wonders of broadband internet and continued our pirates vs ninja debate. When I met Ryan, I was asking him to play Japanese in our history thing, got a big laugh out of that.
The small things that happened during the week involved most of my blockmates. I don't know if green is the word I'm looking for but that's basically what the conversations were, green. We have developed a list of innuendos involving food products like; kangkong, ampalaya, hamburger and AC's favorite, Bibingka. Also, during Math class, I was bored out of my mind so AC and I theorized the concept of time travel using derivatives. Apparently, it made sense haha. For the History Filming, I had Marc simulate vomit which was so awesome (it looked real!!!). I also emanated by bitterness on my blockmates which I think is a helpful lesson in learning how to deal with emotional stress (wahahaha). Also, it's funny to think that my birthday reminds Nice of animal sex. Explanation? We were talking about my birthday plans and stuff when Nice suddenly utters, "How do chickens have sex?"
Okaaaaaaaaay...
But I'm not rude, in fact, I told her how and how crabs do it, how snakes do it, how fishes do it (also reason why I don't go to the ocean), how turtles do it, how porcupines *might* do it and so on. No one's forgetting my birthday whenever they think of how animals have sex, no sirrie.
I'm also playing some medieval-ish games. Final Fantasy 9 baby! Old school swashbuckling rpg. You play as prince charming, save the princess and go on a magical adventure. Man, what I'd give to have a life like that, I wonder if things like that will ever resurface in some sort of second renaissance. Doubt it though, when people grow older most of their colorful minds decay to fuddy-duddy gray matter but I can dream can I?
