Two Great Nights

As of this moment, there are no classes tomorrow. A total relief for me.

First reason, I want to sleep. Second, I don't feel like going to class tomorrow. Third, I still have the Filipino recitation to worry about for Tuesday... I've studied and I am continuing to study but our professor is one tough nut to crack, to say the least. I just want to get through it without him having to remind me of the schedule of summer classes. No matter how I prepare it would all fall on to the question he wants to ask me. I am literally scared.

Then my last reason is I want to watch the Miss Universe Pageant tomorrow morning... a bit shallow but I guess I'm just used to watching the pageant each year since forever (well for as long as I can remember anyway). I haven't missed that show, ever since I began being aware of what it actually was and when I started watching.

I saw RV last night courtesy of our own birthday girl, Ria. Pia, Anne and I were treated to movie and dinner (at Max) in Eastwood. It was my first time there... call me a provincial... maybe just a homebody... I'm not really the clubbing type but I could hit the scene though not regularly, just not into it that much.

Anyway, we were brought by her dad accompanied by her siblings and then they just let us do our own thing. It was fun, a bit sad because out of the original 10 there were only 4 of us... damn schedules! HEHE It was nice just to sit and talk over dinner about anything and everything. Something I missed doing with my barkada... it makes me miss them more!

The movie was also a laugh trip. If you are looking for a good laugh, watch this movie. Murphy's Law was certainly applied, i.e. IF ANYTHING CAN GO WRONG, IT WILL...

It was a great night... good food, a little shopping (mostly for Anne HEHE), good movie and excellent company... I really miss my girls...

A Statement An Expression Call It What You Like

Damn it... he still looks good... Rianne probably knows who I'm talking about ("FIRST LOVE NEVER DIES")! HAHA We are both going crazy... I'm just saying that he still looks good... even I don't know what I mean by that... haven't really seen him recently... I just thank the powers of the World Wide Web... I don't even know why I am talking about this right now. I'm just on stalker mode I guess.

Moving on...

I am still on a little hiatus due to a lot of responsibilities in the real world. But I just felt like typing I guess. Doing a little freehand writing... wait is that what its called?

I just thought of a topic though...

Expression and when it hinders, when it helps, when it is repressed...

There is just a lot of controversy around our faculty today. Let us just say that it is starting to feel like... I can't think of a proper euphemism. Well it is constricting to say the least. I am not personally being invaded or whatever but it affects a lot of those around me and it of course bounces back to me in a way.

We all have our own way of expressing ourselves, some with spoken words, others with numbers, some with the written word, some with their bodies and some with brushes. It is all just a matter of what God-given talent one possesses. And that talent helps in the creation of an expression.

Then there is also perspective and social milieu and background. Expression is an outlet of emotion, perspective, belief, and talent. Through our lifestyle, clothing, words and actions we are portraying an alter ego, a personality or our true selves.

So when what is the boundary? What is the limit? When should a statement be curtailed? When it is harmful? When it is just an expression? When it disrupts the status quo?

I honestly do not have answers to those questions... an opinion perhaps... what is going on in the world anyway??? Why are some people still stuck onto their personal space? Can't we all just get along, compromise and see the big picture?

Up In An Academic Could

I currently live in a world filled with letters, words, numbers, stars, galaxies and the solar system. That is why I'm going to watch Pirates today!!! Okay so Orlando Bloom is the bigger reason but somehow I do want to get out of my academic cloud.

I'm currently in the American Period studying the history of Philippine Journalism at that time. I am in the solar system studying every single celestial body Sir Olivar wants us to study. I'm living in html paradise for Computer lab (luckily were doing a personal site and I am making mine a fan site for One Tree Hill). I'm living in the period of the Last Emperor of the Manchurian dynasty Henry Pu Yi for a paper for my History class.

I'm emerged in the Murphy's Law (If anything can go wrong, it will.) for an essay for my Expository Essay Writing Class (English 102). I'm living in Christian Ethics and its Biblical Foundations for my Ethics class. I'm dizzying myself with numbers as we just finished simple interest and now moving into compound interest for my Finance class. And I'm living in the differences of Filipino and Pilipino language because of the 80 something pages that I have to read for a recitation with Sir Atalia on Tuesday.

And then there's basketball... the time when we get to forget everything else... there are just so many balls bouncing up and down... HAHA

Oh and we just got out of an ugly thing with Sir Olivar (even if it wasn't our fault in the first place) because of a few people in class and the responsibility lies on my shoulders although a couple of them helped me carry the weight (I thank them and apologize for the trauma).

Just wanted to give an update as to where I am currently. Trying to fit everything in and managing somehow. I still get to sleep at least 6 hours a day... sometimes more. I value my sleeping time... besides I can't study when my eyes are tired already. So for a quarter or so of today I am going to enjoy myself before I resume reading for my Filipino class. I'd better go...
