I find it interesting (to say the least) that my personality type's supposed to be an INTJ. But, this says that the way I express myself (specifically through this blog) is the complete opposite: an ESFP.

I just want to get in, okay? I'll take it from there.

It's 11 am and I'm back in Katipunan. It's a weird feeling after having been on full-on sembreak mode, which involves copious amounts of sleeping, snacking, tv watching and internet surfing. I'm relaxed, I'm a happy camper, I'm getting my recommended 12(!) hours of sleep a day. There's this nagging feeling, though. I feel as if there's something major for school that needs to be done, even when there really isn't (aside from some org work and preparations for the LS business project). EEEP. Does this mean that I don't know how to relax?

Anyway, I'm back because, as mentioned above, there's an AIMS meeting and an LS meeting on two separate and consecutive days. (HI ISSA [info]thesagaends and YET [info]finding_moe !) In all honesty, it's great, because if y'all knew the brainfarting I've been doing, you will disown me. It gives me something to do (which further supports the theory of Not Being Able to Relax). And, at the same time, since most of my barkada study in La Salle, they are either busy with the beginning of their final term or swamped with preparations for graduation and job-hunting. So, there usually is this very small window of opportunity where, miraculously, our schedules are all freed-up, and this isn't anywhere within the next couple of weeks; again, giving me something to do while on the wait for that momentous occasion. Frustrating, but, that's a whole 'nother entry.

It's been an emotional week of sorts. A sad state of affairs are in place. I'm not in the mood to thresh out what's been happening right now. They say the best way out is through. Comforting? Maybe. I hope so. Let's see.

Eeep. It's 11:30 am. Better haul my lazy ass to the bathroom!

My family and I go bat-shit over Royce chocolates. It used to be that the nearest place you can get them was in Singapore or in Hong Kong. So, we had to wait for a relative or a family friend to go to either of the two places and ask them to buy boxes for us or, if people are feeling generous, we received them as gifts. (Yay!) But, the gods of chocolate must've heard my prayers because it's finally here.

I suddenly remembered this guy who fell in line behind me at the SOM photocopying place sometime late around the first semester of third year.

It was around 5:00 pm in the afternoon and I was in the middle of a very long day. I just came from a day's worth of classes, was doing some errands to finish off my day at the school (borrowing books at the library, photocopying readings), and was about to space-out in front of the TV study for the rest of the afternoon and into the night. I had already given Ate Cora the set of readings plus a book that I needed to be photocopied. Then, a guy fell in line behind me together with his friend and a two-page Math reviewer and started speaking in this annoying accent.

God, I really wished he didn't. I was tired, hungry, and sleepy. It is so easy to cross me when I am either or all of the above. He didn't even have to try.

"Grabe pare, you know what I did last night? You know what? I swear pare, I tried studying and...."

I really, really, wished he didn't.

"".... I swear, pare. She was hot. Like, hotter than..."

My ears were already bleeding, my vision was already turning black, and my patience was being terribly tested. I wanted to grab a ream of paper from the nearby cabinet and smack him in the head with it just so he would stop talking. I checked out how far along Ate Cora was with my set, she still had the book to go. Good lord. I don't think the guy that he was with got a word in edgewise.

"...I had pansit canton and a bottle of 7-Up beside me and I played the trippiest game ever. I was in my air conditioned bedroom pa with the blinds closed, and started this game. It's the trippiest game ever, pare. Do you know what it is? Guess. C'mon guess. Trippiest. Game. Pare."

Trippiest? I mean, seriously? Thrice in less than ten seconds!

Finally, Ate Cora handed over my photocopied hand-outs and book. I had never been happier to leave with a bunch of photocopied materials than that afternoon.




Then, I went home and had pansit canton.

So much for four months. I am finally, finally done with Then We Came to the End by Joshua Ferris. What's next? Middlesex, maybe? I feel so stunted, I swear. With writing, with reading, with the whole summer tralala. (Obviously.)

I got into a fight, with a door. The door won. I am now a proud owner of a huge gash on my ankle. Good job, door.

I brewed a pot of coffee. The coffee tasted sour.

Lipstick Jungle is not Sex and the City.

I intend to lose weight this summer. (Intend being the operative word.)

I really don't want to go to the beach. But I do want to go out. PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE. I'm dying here. I also don't have any money.

I am spending too much time on the internet.

I need a bigger RAM.

Still reading? Really?

This is so random.

I should stop.

Okay.
