MUSINGS NG ISANG HALATANG WALANG MAGAWA
MUSINGS NG ISANG HALATANG WALANG MAGAWA
Asungot ang isang tao sa G Miranda Bookstore sa UP Diliman Shopping center, yung isang kahera dun, gusto ko sapakin (okay fine, she’s beneath me, I tell my alter ego). Bibili kasi ako ng brown envelope na P1.75 lang, eh sa rich tayo at ang smallest bill ko ay PhP50.00, sabi ba naman, "Miss wala na kaming barya, baka naman pwedeng bumili ka muna ng iba dyan…" sabay irap and all, as in she pointedly ignored me (!) until i took a bunch of other brown envelopes. P24.50 na yung bill ko tuloy. "O ayan pwede na?" sabi ko, sabay irap din (well, in my mind lang na irap, i always try to be polite naman eh… unless nagpakita rin sa face ko ang annoyance ko; which sometimes happens, coz i can’t act that well when i’m annoyed). Haler sobra, tindahan kayo eh, dapat me barya kayo, magsara na nga kayo! > ( Pero actually I wouldn’t have minded had she been polite and said it in such a way na ma-e-endear pa sha saken kesa ganyan. Grrr talaga! Aanhin ko na tuloy ngayon ang sangkatutak na brown envelope, eh isa lang ang kelangan sa PRC? Anyway, whoever you are, leche ka.

Hey UP Alumni, kung gusto nyo magkaroon ng alumni card, eto ang requirements: 1 1×1 id pic, 1 2×2 id pic, accomplished application form (makukuha sa bahay ng alumni), PhP 100 for 1 year membership, and PhP1000 for lifetime membership. Since wala akong magawa talaga, naisip ko to apply for one. I think it will afford me access to the libraries? (which was what i was after, actually)

I’m obviously spending a lot of my free time in UP. Lam nyo naman, I’ve always loved the place, felt it was my home away from home, granted ngang I only stayed there four years for college. (and one day for high school before I was transferred elsewhere) Parang autistic noh, nililibang ko ang sarili ko dun, and I succeed in doing so. Anyway, I think I’ve done well enough to simulate my college life, blended into the background of college students even (coz I look young… younger than those college pips even! Basta hindi halata J). I’ve eaten my CASAA meals na (such as chicken roll with mushroom gravy! – di na sha kasing sarap nung dati, though), mukha lang akong friendless nerd coz I was alone. I buy books from the book sale sa former Green (and one time Yellow Orange) House. Isa pang suhestyon sa mga bored out of their wits: UP Film Center. ‘Nuff said.

Sawang-sawa na ba kayo sa super daming mga Friendster announcements (about blogs, new profiles, new testimonials, etc etc) na pumupuno sa inbox nyo? Well, if you don’t have a separate account for all the “junk” mail to go to, this is what you can do. (Coz this is what I did a while back. Wala kasi aokng ibang masulat so I figured I’d share the info) You can create a special folder sa inyong email accounts with appropriate keywords such as that all mails will go automatically to said folder. SO no more wading through tons of these before you get to read the emails that matter. Right? Right. 
haay. I’m bored.

Saan ba pwedeng mag-moonlight? Yung simple lang at hindi gaano toxic? Di pa kasi ako handa magpakatoxic, nag-iisip pa ako ng malalim kung ano ang plano at direksyon na gusto ko sa buhay ko eh… at di ko magagawang mag-esep esep ng mabuti kung natotoxic ako. Simpleng trabaho lang that can still afford me some time for introspection and soul-searching, and gimiks and vacations. And that will give me money. Something…

Addendum.
Kung si Piolo nga nakalimutan si Juday sa kanyang acceptance speech dati for best actor (dekada 70, star cinema)… haller… ede ako den me nakalimutan (coz… “I love you piolooooo!!!” Still! After many years!)…
I forgot my grandfather, my Kakay… my remaining grandparent here on earth… I hope I made you happy i love you and i hope to be able to spend more years pa with you.
I also forgot my Bear friend/lola Bear/mommy Gizelle, sorry fault ko talaga yun, it really was an oversight on my part, I’m sorry po. Are you back na ba? Ok lang yun, mas nafifeel ko pa presence mo kesa kay Mommy Clair eh (i got to read your blog a while back kasi)… Kita naman tayo sometime! Btw ang sexy at ganda mo ngayon! sana ako din! TO my other Bear buddies, hi!:-) (ang cute naman naiyak kayo sa “acceptance speech” blog ko… well I really didn’t mean for it to have that effect… pero well ako ren naiiyak at that time eh! thanks you guys for always believing in me! Mwahness!)
And to those I love who have already passed on… my Tita Glo and my grandparents, Grandma, Grandpa, Kako, and my cousin Uriel. PLease still watch over me. And Rico Yan too.
All those in UERM who taught me anything, anything at all, in any way, my professors, doctors, consultants, residents, former SIs, former JIs, thanks…
My baby cousin Isaac… my De Jesus cousins MJ, JP and family, PJ (rebel high!), Tito Melo and Tita Goya… my Bernardo cousins Cara and AA, and Tia Beth and Tito DOng… Ate Mina and my inaanak si Ira; Ate Ria my manager sa Jade; everyone at Jade Phils my 2nd home away from home; Ate Franz; lahat ng mga ate na nag-aruga sa akin…
And thank you sa lahat ng nagcongratulate sa akin sa text… di ko kayo maeenumerate tuloy, unlike last time, sorry ha, kasi nasira nga yung cellphone ko diba (also of a viral nature, like my computers), and na-wipe out na ang data when i had it reformatted. SOrry.
