You know it feels great when you wake up the next morning to a weekend where you have absolutely nothing to do. The past few weeks have been hellacious to say the least. I can only hope my grades don't suffer because of the things I had to go through, only God knows. In any case, I FINALLY made enough money to buy me a brand new comic -- I'm thinking... Civil War, what do you think?

The past week for some reason, I decided to treat people to ice cream. I don't know, I just wanted to. Have you ever eaten ice cream with your friend/s on the sidewalk? That time's the best. I used to that back then in Xavier whenever I had to wait for me to get fetched which took about 2 hours of waiting. I'd walk around school and try to find a friend then ask if they'd be interested in eating ice cream. I like watching the sun go down while eating ice cream, it's so relaxing and being with a friend makes it all the better. Weird eh?

I also had lunch with Berk and Fuzzy one day. Fuzzy invited me and Berk to lunch for old time's sake and who am I to deny a lunch out to reminisce high school times. I really miss everyone back in 4G. Even if a handful of us are in the Ateneo, it doesn't compare to all of us being together back in the day. I didn't believe it then but now I do, that your high school friends are the ones you'll keep forever. It scares me to think that we're growing up so fast now. I mean, the things we talk about then and now are so different. I kinda hate it. You know, among college friends, I can not find one person who I can talk about stupid stuff with. It's sad, for me anyways, that I have to be completely submerged into maturity so bluntly. I mean, do I really have to grow up so fast?

I had a talk about this one time. My friend told me something about we weren't going to be friends anymore once we grow up. I replied with, "what are you talking about?" I don't want to think about losing my friends anymore than I already do. It hurts, you know.

I also had lots of interesting conversations for the week. Someone (who I shall remain confidential) asked me what my issues were and I replied simply, "I have distrust in people." Right then, we had a conversation about my more emo(?) HS life, something only a few people want to know about. It kinda felt strange to recall those thoughts of mine which I chose to bury but really when I talked about them, it's like it never really left. I guess when you come out of the crosshair, you get to keep the scars. I'm learning to live with it though, don't worry about me. If there's anything I hate, is to feel like a burden to someone else.

Everything else over the week was like biting your tongue right before you want to sneeze. It finally rested on Friday that the dreaded ELC test would take place. I have had a lot of things in the air over the week and it's all been hits, misses and flops. I really, really wasn't in the mood to take any sort of test especially since it came right after theo class which felt like such a bore. I didn't study as hard this exam, I just studied the day before. Then again, once this was over, I can relax for a while (until the next exam gets announced) and that's exactly what I needed, a brain drain. When the exam was over, I was off to 129 and went to my one vice, DOTA. Everything over the week, I released and they were gone. Live and let live, another week awaited me.

All in all, I've had one of those weeks where everything seemed to have gone wrong... for the best. I've had lots of conversations to keep my brain running as well as have enough heartaches to keep me writing for at least a month. Won't that be fun?

--> I hope you get well soon, I miss you
--> Also, a shoutout to my kids in San Mateo, "Kuya Marty misses you all!"
