I love that song, I dunno why. Ang hilig ko sa panglasing na kanta no.

Random thoughts, people. =)

-May kasalanan na naman ako kay Peklat. Nabangga ko na naman siya nung Tuesday. Kamusta naman kasi, I was not paying enough attention. And I think the handbrake’s still up. But the Ford that I hit, with its rubber thingie which kept it from getting a dent because of my negligence, is something that I hate and love at the same time.
Ironically the night before that while the family was praying, my Mom blurted out, “Ano ba yan Ate, andami mo nang peklat, ginagaya mo na ang kotse mo.” Mothers with such unconditional love. Ayos.

-While I was on my way home last night, I heard a poll over the radio: if you were given the choice, which would you rather have, food or gas. I laughed like hell and without thinking answered, “[insert my favorite swear word here], food!”
I just got frustrated about how gluttonous I have become when the answers to that poll flooded with dreams of lower price of gas. Guess I can’t blame myself; after all I have had my share of pagpapagas.

Sheeeet. Did I just type that. Mali, mali.

I’m blaming it on Chi Ming Tsoi week.

-A ticket worth 200 bucks to Bohol. Hmmm, sounds too good to be true. Had it been to Bora I would have been going, “Is it Christmas? Is it my birthday?” mode already.

-I realized, I have yet to ahm, taste BTS. Wala lang.

-My wish list for my birthday. I have already updated it but well, just like every time I keep a wish list [of course Christmas last year was the exemption] I’ll keep it to myself. Haha, weirdo.

-The kid at Kfc kanina was so adorable, he really could have been mistaken to be my son. Well, minus the curly hair. But seriously, he will turn out to be a gorgeous boy. Maybe he’s my lost son, hmmm.
Hinde pa rin. Hindi talaga bagay.

-The Prince of Monaco is here! The cute one! Oooh, I was even willing to go to Payatas where he is to visit, according to Mom, just to see him. Cute talaga siya, I swear. Hindi yung tipong kailangan mo ng dram [ask Shem]. Siya yung tipong, “Tsk, tsk, tsk. Hot.” at mapapanganga ka na lang.

Before anything else, I just had to share this. I loved The Break Up. Yeah, that is one of the sacrifices a movie fan slash law student must endure, not getting to watch movies on time. I mean, I was supposed to watch My Super Ex-Girlfriend last night but well, curling up in my bed resting my aching head after a degrading Crim midterms just seemed sweeter.

Anyway, thanks to Ninoy we don’t have tests tomorrow so I was given the opportunity to be laidback today, just like any other Sunday. Insert evil laugh here.

Hehe. Ivy just came over and complained how she didn’t like the ending of The Break Up. They didn’t even get back together, she complains. How fun.

But that’s the beauty of it, I think. An open-ended uhm, ending.

I loved it. I loved how it was presented, straightforward, and simple. Anyway, seeing these two people who obviously still cared for each other hurt each other is too much to handle. You just see how little by little the relationship deteriorated because of lack of communication. I can’t blame either of them, though: at their age it’s sort of a common knowledge to well, air out what ticks them, as soon as possible. And that’s what happened: he’s a guy who does everything that he wants all the time, she’s a girl who loves him she does everything that he wants, and everything was just left hanging.

I was scared for a couple of times, when he finally realized what to do, that she would give the relationship another try. But spending merely an hour with them ruining the relationship is enough for anyone to stop her from giving in. Everything that just happened has been that heavy in the heart. There is just no way for a sane person to say yes to another try to something like that.

That is why I liked the ending. Evidently they still have a bubble, and maybe they really just needed the time off to grow up and purge themselves of every little bad thing that went with their break up. There’s nothing wrong with recharging, right.

I liked the movie. That is the closest that one can get to real life and everything in it.


I’m happy though; it is fiction.

Yes. I am supposed to be studying right now, for my midterms on Saturday. Don’t get me wrong, it was not a deliberate decision for me to be indolent tonight. Something just happened tonight, that would have been a major factor (AGAIN.) in me feeling apprehensive, if it weren’t for the salvaging that was done right on time.

But something just had to pay for it. Hence, this entry in exchange for my time reviewing.

I’m happy though, and grateful. I still haven’t lost the fire. I am still on a roll. Just had to get these off my mind.

****
More than a dozen moons ago I had an entry about my resolutions for me to survive law school. Since I am seeing it and yes, experiencing it from the other side of things (oh, do I really have to have a disclaimer? BEAR WITH ME TONIGHT, DEARS. THIS ENTRY IS JUST A STREAM-OF-CONSCIOUSNESS MOMENT.) I feel I have learned quite a lot that most law students would find to be of great help. Ah shit, am babbling.

Oy, I’m not being a know-it-all here. Truth be told, I am posting this merely in the guise of being a guide for other would-be alipin ng batas but really, I am posting this for myself. Yon, self-serving.

Unsolicited advice (from me and my profs both in school and in life), coming up:
- First impressions last.
- Unity. Very important.
- Bonding moments. Orsem is such a brilliant idya.
- This is not college. Can’t be absent just for the heck of it. It’s frustrating, not just for the prof, but for your blockmates as well. Sorry, at the end of the day you’re still a competitor in the school’s bets for the Bar.
- Basis, basis, basis. And never forget your common sense.
- No crabbing. Forget about competing for the highest grade.
- Be brief and concise in answering exams. (I had a vindicating moment about this just this Monday, and I was floating on cloud 9 because of that.)
- Never come to class unprepared. Apostasy yon.
- A charming, organized, mildly OC beadle helps a lot. (awww I miss patty =s)
- Adjust your body clock starting today. Being an insomniac won’t help you pass the Bar. (Yes, it came from someone who sleeps at 3am)
- Never ever debate with a prof. Don’t believe everything that he says either.
- Crankiness is never an excuse. Lahat tayo puyat, ineng.
- Ang katapat lang ng isang bad day ay isang mild na serye ng moments ng rebelyon. After non, aral ulit.
- A high I.Q. doesn’t guarantee you passing the Bar. (I agree with what they say, law students are either smart or maabilidad.)
- Extra-curriculars matter.
- Just don’t stop.
- You need a strong heart in law school.
- And a strong will.
- Karma does exist.
- Just do your best, you don’t have to prove anything to anyone. Just to yourself.

See, told you. More for me siya. Anyway.

****
Monday, that vindicating day. That was the day I realized I have quite a lot of pet peeves. Pet peeves that I never thought I had. Nakakapikon.

The sadder part of that is, the people whom I’ve talked to about it, all gave “yeah-I-thought-that’s-settled-already” yeses.

Yeah, probably because of the situation. I am already estopped, I know. I have already declared that I will never get over it. But at least I have already accepted it. Not fully, of course, because little things that shouldn’t bother me still do, but I hope I’m getting there.

The other day though I attributed it to the fact that I’m getting older. Remember, in a month’s time I will renew my license. That I am starting to lose the littlest inch of patience I have within. O gaaad no. I’m being Molly Gunn of Uptown Girls when she saw an old woman when she looked in the mirror on her 22nd birthday. Whoah, how apt huh.

I am more on the fact that really, I am not happy. Well fine, not as happy as I used to be. Don’t get me wrong, I love the company of the people I see everyday, but let’s put it this way. I have experienced for myself the fact that there’s more to life than this. And I am here not just because I have to finish what I started, or because I have to prove myself to myself, but because I know if I finish this right I can be with the people and the circumstances that make me the happiest.

So this is me huh. Not smoking or drinking. Just secretly angry about almost everything. Saya.

****
A couple of minutes ago I was talking to a fellow law student and I was telling him about the walk out that happened today in the Congress while in the middle of discussions about the impeachment. I was telling it with the usual tone that law students have when narrating the facts of a case, i.e., the tone one uses when gossiping. And well, let us just say he was apathetic about it.

I get it. It’s just politics. I even ended up questioning my reaction to it. I just concluded that it was interesting because that’s the learned men’s soap opera. But really, really. Why be interested in it.

And to think that I have long resigned from caring about the politics in the country. I find it funny, actually; law students having no care about current events. It is so current eh, masyadong intermittent. To preserve my sanity, or the littlest semblance of it that I have, I have decided to be apathetic about politics like a year ago.

Guess I’m not used to it. That the last few times I have heard of chizmax like that a President was in the brink of getting ousted. And it’s fun and traumatizing at the same time, I guess. How could old men act so f*cking immature.

****
I learn a lot from movies. I love the smell of freshly dried laundry. Wala lang.
Hmmm, I believe I got a text that resembled that a couple of nights ago. Haha. =p

I just realized tonight. I take a lot from the movies that I like. Yes that selection is not really impressive, it being jam-packed with chick flicks, but hey. I feel like I am a combination of my favorite movies. And yes my education and the people around me and my experience, but you get my point right?

I base it on the fact (takte, parang wala akong natutunan kay Chu ha. Operative word, parang. =p) that I don’t have an ate, an older sibling. These movies were the first cases that I had to absorb the doctrines of. (Ayos ang grammar schmammar alert.) It seems like I learn the little lessons in every movie by heart and make it rules in leading my life. So to know me is to watch my movies? Hahaha.

Yes. Sleepy at 1230. Believe me, that’s an accomplishment.

Back to studying tomorrow then. And midterms. Then I’ll write here like hell.

Go codal. Btw, I found an effective though geeky version of bedtime stories: reviewing for nego by explaining it to a layman. The layman being, someone who has yet to take up nego. Hahaha.
