Silence

Last night, I arrived home really late for a normal 9pm dismissed school night since our carpool's owner's brother was on a pasaway mode .*remembers aissa cussing* Not just late, but mom-already-texting-late! It was a rather typical "work"day, drafting in Design class, working out calculations at AS (sa sobrang nosebleed nangopya nalang ako) and copying notes at the tone-down class of Planning..

I just noticed that when I had recently cut my nails, I forgot to cut the nails from my left ring finger.. banggag hahaha..

And when people went back to sleep after opening the door for me, just sat down drinking milo and eating some biscuits (naks pang commercial) while texting my partner (awww, get well soon partner) just catching up on stuff.

I suddenly realized the silence around me, no TV, no trikes passing by (even at 11pm, there's still many trikes, since our home is located on a main road) all the lights turned off. Silent enough that I here the clock ticking *tick tock* and the humming of the refrigerator. Now, usually it would freak people out.. Mom always told that whenever there is silence, God is always there.. hence the Filipino saying, May dumaan na anghel.. well, good thing I had my partner to talk to, or else I would have noticed the silent darkness around me. (as if naman matatakot ako noh) I planned to work on my BT plate but what the hell, dali lang nun e..

Gud morning!!

Nosebleed

Well, prelims week (midterms) is nearly over, been studying the whole day for Saturday's haggard test of PP (Professional Practice), as the term almost immediately implies a major nosebleed on common folk, (naks) me studying itfor the whole morning wrecked my nerves.. The handouts are f***ing long, as they are composed of different legalities, Republic Acts and the such.. in short, ITS THE LAW.
Mix it with my laidback attitude towards studying and such, and my hate for authority, legalities and formalities (remembers C.A.T days hahahahaha), I found (yes, found, inaral ko na kasi) the subject to be extremely boring.. pero syempre, you know me.. if it means me failing if I don't give a damn about it, then malamang aaralin ko.. hahha..

Actually, what I did was more of a semi-study, since I just highlighted/skimmed thru the pages..

And so to continue on with the ranting, the next test after PP isn't as exciting as all.. Exciting meaning I don't like to take it seriously.. Logic.. aside from the crappy and grammatically incorrect book, the crappy and grammatically incorrect prof is another reason why most, if not all of us hate this subject.

And to add more, the AS 1 test was a hassle.. who the hell could answer: "what is the section modulus of a rectangular section" hehehe.. Planning was relatively easy though..

Don't worry, just a few more to rant about.. I was hoping to have a long weekend, having no classes at both Monday and Tuesday.. but our prof in CADD rescheduled our test on Monday *great*, then again, CADD lang yan e.. the weekend also became shorter because of our prelims plate in Design (wah?!) Aquatic Museum.. and to cut the weekend even shorter, still have to finish our research..

And lastly, Metro Manila assembly was cancelled.. awwwww I miss those guys already..

masarap talaga magreklamo once in awhile noh?

Disclaimer: Ripoff from an email, Emvin and Emman's blog.. popost ko sana dati nakalimutan ko lang e.. hahaha.. i find it.. amusing..

The Guys' Rules

or the changing of the tides.
Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport.
And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

As a Friend..

Ain't it sad, that no matter how close you are to any friend of yours, that everytime he or she suffers, that you could only do so much as a friend? yes, you are able to comfort him or her and all that.. but in the end, you can't really change anything.. and to know the whole story and the bigger picture, but still you're in no position to bite the bullet for that friend.. not that you don't want to.. you simply can't! It's such a heartbreaker that a dear friend suffers at this moment, and while you can comfort her, you just know it isn't enough.. and it irks.. kasi naawa ka at mahal mo yung kaibigan na yun ng todo.. Alam mong nahihirapan siya at this very moment, you pray to God and question Him.. bakit? You know that there's an even bigger picture than this.. that only He can see and understand..

And then you realize, no wonder you worry and can't help but sigh.. if only you can see what He sees..

As a friend, you can only do so much.. as a friend..
