Today marks the last day of summer as tomorrow brings the dawn of a new headache that I'd like to call, First Semester-- Senior edition.

As of today, I have done nothing productive. I woke up at 10am, played SRW and Fallout 2 until 12 noon and ate lunch.

Absolutely nothing productive and I like it.

Maybe around 6, I'll start cleaning up the room. God knows, there are a lot of stuff that needs a cleaning here. I don't want to be keeping any old papers that harbor bad memories of summer. No way! Off to the burner they go hahaha. I say, screw recycling these things, I'd rather see them burn. My impulse to clean the room can be mostly blamed by the fact that a lot of moving around is happening. Yes, like I said, my room is being fixed and if it's not the rain leaking into the room, the various plywood coming in and out of here or the massive overhaul every other day, the mess is due to me and brother in summer mode. I mean, DVDs, cards and clothes are scattered all over the place. I actually found an old necklace of mine in the mess haha -- Ima keepin dis one.

Next, it's always life's perrogative to never make it easy for me. Take my love life for example, that's not going anywhere anytime soon and I'm pretty sure I've gone into a whole new level of bitterness and sarcasm. Good to be back to normal. I'm catching up on some debts with some people as well as chasing after DC's 52 series (which I reserved in CATS a week ago). Insomnia didn't really go away yet haha but I did manage to bond closer with some friends due to it (you know who you are). Things begin to move in slow motion when you're lacking sleep, I notice.

Aside from that, the ECCE dept has done it again giving me a 6 hour break (labs non-inclusive) every MW-fucking-F. What to do with the time? Magic maybe.... or Basketball... or go to gym for real this time. I dunno. A lot of things sound good but it all depends on how heavy these days are. The fun part about the sched however is that I pretty much have the same people with me in my majors -- this means, the AXIS is there as well as Boy Band and various... other... inspirations hihi. But (and this is a big butt) after what had transpired during the summer, it's not going to be the same. I mean, it's already awkward and I really just want to get it over with and start shooting everyone, you know, just to make things normal again. People involved are all in one class with yours truly included -- my luck eh? I'm at the front seat of the action.

In other news, the summer was fun because I went back to HS Marty trips. That's right, all-nighters, overnights and gimiks to who-knows-where everyday! Having a car is so imba hahaha. I have effectively gone around Marikina, Katipunan, QC, Fairview, Makati, Greenhills etc in over a week. We've gotten lost and stranded in places without money haha but it was all good. I really have to learn how to commute this year, when that happens the possibilities are endless! Going out a lot also gave me a lot of perspective. I missed this kind of life. Apparently, my problems only build up when I stay at home and think about em which is why I have to get out. Yes, loneliness at home... no girlfriend... no one to love and love me back... they all just bubble away on the road. I love it. There will be a time for that... I'm sure. For now, live life. Love can wait.

I'd also like to mention that we have 4 new puppies to play with. We named them after fruits haha -- Apple, Banana, Chico and Durian. They are all so adorably cute that it brightens up my day just to see them. Amidst the ruckus in the house and the changes happening (externally and internally) on the things around me... having 4 puppies to get through does the thing haha. I mean, it's not as bad when I think about it. I'm still in ECE, I'm still single, I still have (most) of my friends intact and it's senior year for everyone (save us). It should be the time of our lives but why do I somehow feel like I'm not ready for what's coming. Ah well, my fruits and I will get past the pain haha.

Songs have been downloaded again. After the tragic loss of drive D at the start of summer, my brother and I sought to regain our music files and with DSL powering the search, we were unmatched. It's funny how much my taste in music has changed. I mean, I still love rock at heart but I find myself compelled to get some senti songs as well. Times have changed indeed -_-. I've also downloaded some good J-Music along the way haha. Tune the Rainbow from RahXePhon just brings tears to my eyes and The Real Folk Blues from Cowboy Bebop just gets me in the mood for anything. By Migs' suggestion, I also got 3EB and getting Lynn her bday present back then reminded me that I didn't have Aerosmith tracks of my own. Chester's regained interest in Linkin Park also coaxed me to look for the new album as well as old favorites I found scouting around forums (like 3 Days Grace, Fuel, Saliva, 12 Stones, Oasis)-- old favorites never really die.

Is that everything? I think so. I hope so, it'd be tragic to leave out anything before I start getting busy again. Ah well... what will the following months hold... will I make or break? Sink or Swim? Flip or Flop? The analogies just goes on but one thing I'm sure of, things are changing -- better or worse. Things are looking pretty crazy this coming year.

Just gotta Ride the Lightning
