Still Not Getting Any
Posted on March 24, 2008 at 02:40 Down the Drain
Guess where I am now?! For sure, most of you won’t know no matter how hard you guess. I’m in the computer room of our dorm right now. Yep, obviously, this is not the time to goof around and use the computer (Internet, that is). Actually, I have been devising a plan lately on how to get in and I already tried it last Friday night. Too bad, I have no card that’s brainy enough to slide the door open (if you know what I mean). Fatefully (or so), tonight, as I passed the door, I turned the knob, and eureka! It was unlocked!
This is one of the (and perhaps the most) wildest things I’ve ever done in my stay in the dorm so far. Breaking rules sure is fun, huh? The staff for tonight is the most strict compared to the other two but it still didn’t scare me together with the fact that he’s just in the adjacent room! I can hardly imagine typing at this hour and place and it’s even harder to imagine what would happen to me if ever I’d get caught. Expulsion, most probably. Nevertheless, if that’s the case, I have a partly honest reason of doing this — I’m trying to check the CRS if it’s already catering our batch. We, Computer Science students of the graduating (hopefully) batch, still need to get a non-major subject and we’re looking forward to taking Literature 2 because it’s the only Humanities subject that we need that’s relatively easier compared to writing (Communications 2) and speech (Communications 3). If it weren’t for the change of pre-enlistment schedules (graduating students, instead of incoming 2nd years, used to do it first), then we wouldn’t be left worried. But then, I won’t be here for that matter! 😉 I guess I’ll really have to wait for daylight then, or maybe tomorrow.
Sigh, what I’m doing now is really crazy. Haha. Maybe tonight is my lucky night. However, I also realized that the key to this room is never kept. It’s just in its usual box by the counter. Then again, I think I won’t be doing this again. It’s just…weird. :tongue:
The Bucket List
Posted on March 19, 2008 at 21:08 Down the Drain
Finally, this morning, I got the money BlogToProfit sent me via Western Union. For days, I have been going back and forth to the pawnshop, always seeing either an offline message or there’s no electricity. It was not that much, but good enough for a student. And so the initial plan of claiming it somewhere in the city has been canceled. Needless to say, I still visited the city. The trip going there has indeed been ‘cut’ — you have to transfer to a different jeep to be transported to the city proper. When I arrived at Robinson’s Place, Ricky Reyes’ salon was my immediate stop. I think the guy who did me was the same guy who took charge of me during my last visit. His Barber’s cut is exceptional (yea). Now I look like PPP. :laugh: 😆 I stopped by National Bookstore and upon my exit someone called my attention by directly talking to me. It was Kristine Joy, a classmate. When she left and I checked the movie schedules and had lunch at KFC. “The Bucket List” was then on.
“Find the joy in your heart.” Edward Cole (Jack Nicholson) is a corporate billionaire who believes that in his hospital, there should be two persons in each room, no exceptions. But when he is admitted for cancer, he demands to get a room of his own. His personal secretary merely reiterates his strict rule and thus ends up with a complete stranger — Carter Chambers (Morgan Freeman), a knowledgeable mechanic. While still in the hospital, Carter writes his bucket list (things he wishes to do before dying), until he hears from the doctor that he, too, like Edward, will no longer last long. Carter crumples the list and Edward eventually reads it. Before they even knew it, they were already doing the wildest things Carter could ever imagine, such as skydiving and traveling the world. Conflict arises when Carter tries to reunite Edward with her daughter. The bucket list was completed by Edward’s secretary at the end of the story, where he climbs the top of the mountain the two failed to climb, and bury the list under the snow.
If you haven’t seen the movie yet, I suggest you go for it. I don’t know, but movies that deal with time and growing old really inscribes something within me. I have now thought of, “Be not afraid of dying. Be afraid of growing old.” It’s pretty reasonable, right? 🙁 I bought a toothpaste and some junk foods before taking a jeep back home (afraid that there might be none at the usual terminal due to the occasional rerouting). That’s 180 (haircut) + 94 (lunch) + 80.50 (movie) + 105.25 (grocery) for the day. Sir Malecosio, the NSTP adviser who was also our Biology 20 teacher, was beside me. He asked me if I could be free this summer to finish or do the program’s website. He also informed me that I was referred to by our teacher when he asked of who can possibly do the work. Now isn’t that flattering or what? 😎
