[ no sleep tonight ]
I told you so. Toldyousotoldyousotoldyousotoldyouso. I told you it would be like nothing ever happened. It's not the first time.
You can't stop this feeling...there's no escape. No sleep tonight, you won't get no sleep tonight.
Why do they always use that when people are playing soccer? I love this song. You might remember it in She's the Man, when Vi is playing on the beach at the start of the movie. You might also remember it in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, when Bridget is training in Baja California, Mexico. Basta lang, I love this song. That's all.
Ang peke ng ibang tao. Hypocrite is the word. Sasabihing pangit o baduy, tapos biglang favorite na kasi nakikiuso. Don't you hate people like that? Plastic. Fake. Trying to get with the "in" crowd". Magugulat ka nalang, sasabihin niyang "Favorite ko yan!" tapos yun pala, walang kaalam-alam tungkol dun kasi nga, nakikiuso lang. Eh kelan lang ba nung pinipintasan niya yun, "Pangit! Baduy! Sino bang nanonood nyan? Puro foreign ka ah. Mas maganda yung..." Gets?
Hypocrite. Eh wala ka ngang alam dun eh.
Huli ka.

[ life sucks. well, sort of. ]
Hey. Guess what. Life doesn't suck at all! So why did I put that in there? I don't know either.
I think I'm up for something new. I WANT TO CHANGE MY BLOG LAYOUT, but unfortunately I am not particularly gifted in the HTML area. Gah. Plus, or minus, my posts suck. Ha, so that's something that sucks. I wonder why I'm always blank whenever I face the screen. It's not like I'm blank all the time. When I least need to be full, my mind comes up with crazy schemes and ideas I want to write down. Unfortunately that's also when I don't have access to the computer.
September 28 was going to be another ordinary day. Or so I thought. At least, not until people bombarded me with messages of "Walang pasok!" in YM. Apparently a storm was coming. Woohoo. And boy was it some storm. It lasted around 4 hours (?) and that's ONLY four hours, so we were lucky. The wind was really strong and it moved so fast, you could hear it. Whooooo. And you could see the clouds up there swirling like it was the end of the world. Wow. First time in my life I ever experienced something like that. It was like a tornado (there was a small one started in Zamboanga, I heard).
After we all thought it was over, it started up again. Oh and by the way, electricity was cut off due to the winds, some 300+ kph (?) Check the news for the storm of the millenium. Yeah, so I advertise. And so what.
I experienced three whole days of no electricity, no water, and no telephone. Totally cut off from the outside world. My cellphone battery was running low, so I kept it shut most of the time. So no communication (except for a few text messages reporting to Kryslette, haha)
After the storm, at around 6 pm, we went out and surveyed the damage. On our street alone, it was, um, really devastated. Yeah, so there. Branches and leaves were scattered everywhere. The yero at kahoy garage in front of our house had collapsed. Beside it, a tree was uprooted. It was really cold outside, we had to wear jackets. Overhead the sky was gray. Since I was looking for some adventure, I suggested that we go outside the village and see what had happened. So Dad, who had just gotten home from work, took us.
On South Superhighway, more than ten billboards had collapsed. Shows you just how dangerous they are. Fortunately, none fell on roofs. A huge tree had fallen over and completely blocked the entrance to Greenvale (where we once lived). More trees near the church had been stripped of their leaves. So wow, the damage done was big.
That night I slept without the fan. It wasn't that hot, thank God for the wind. Friday was an ordinary (and hot) day. It was quite boring, since there was nothing to do. Saturday and still no electricity. And then came the dreaded news. "Walang tubig." And I hadn't shampooed since Thursday. Oh nooo. So we went to my tita's house in Quezon City. I got to see my baby niece Iya (sorry, no pics; she's really cute though). At around seven, our maid called up my mom and told us... well, you can guess!
At 3 AM though, electricity was out, again. Ugh. Sunday, blah nothingspecialhappened. Then at 11 PM viola, lights went on. Monday, no classes as declared by the Muntinlupa mayor. By then our Long Test II had been postponed for four days. And then at 7:30 PM... no electricity again! This sucks.
Tuesday, which was yesterday, the fan suddenly went on at six AM. And off again at around 10:30 PM, when I was studying for my SS test (cause finally, we had classes). Boo. It came on today at one AM. Yes, people, I was awake when it happened. Haha.
So life doesn't suck at all! Almost six days of no electricity was quite an adventure for me, who has an otherwise ordinary life. And tomorrow, the winning SAN BEDA team comes to school. Hurray for the basketball fanatics.
Ah wait. Gotta go; will research on... THE EXTERNAL ANATOMY OF A FROG
. Oh yeah and before I forget, try this: Milenyo vids. Take your pick.Labels: cafe posting, memories
