A day in the drain

i went to UP earlier because stupid me was unaware that we have no Legal History class. haha... from that moment on, things went from bad to...well...more annoying circumstances. I can't really say things went worse...worse seems too much...

Anyway, i hurried to prepare for the non-existent legal history class. i even rode a taxi to avoid being late. Afterwards, viola! There is nobody in the room! Not even the lights were turned on. So off i went to the library. Sometimes, my classmates are there especially when they are waiting for our class to start. However, i only saw Mark there, and he dutifully informed me that there was no class. Well...

Actually, I was elated upon learning that we have no class. It was only 10:00 in the morning and i can always go home. I shrugged the fact that i rode the taxi to get into the school, afterall, i still have money to sustain me through the week. Also, i have an upcoming exam next friday and a research deadline to meet, so i simply ignored the fact that i wasted about 3 hours of the moring since I have the rest of the day to study. Hence, more good stuff than bad stuff (so far), so i remained positive.

then...

I went home, as I've said earlier, in a very positive mood and eager to read my cases. I even shopped for some clothes in a mall near our house since i don't want to go home after just an hour of absence. After buying a blouse, i decided to go home. The scenario waiting for me was simple: The gate was locked. I have no keys. Nobody was inside. Gah! i tried in vain to call (malay mo, may tao pala...). But no. There was nobody inside and I can't enter the house. T_T (masayang tumanga sa harapan ng bahay nio e... tapos may questioning look sa mata ng mga kapitbahay nio.. hehe...try nio minsan...)

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. So i decided to go to SM North to hang out there. I regretted not bringing unread cases. As a matter of fact, I would not have minded everything so much if only i have some cases to read while wasting away in the mall. i only have my 1987 Constitution. What am i gonna do? Memorize it? Maybe. But the mall is no place to memorize! i also did not go inside luxurious coffeehouses like Starbucks, they are so expensive. I settled for The Coffee Experience. At least there, the frappe is about Php 30 cheaper! haha. Anyway, The Cofee Experience is just a small stall and there was nothing to shield me from the noise. So goodbye studying for me. waah.

i went home at around 5 pm. (i was able to enter the house this time ^_^) However, my eagerness to study was replaced with tiredness. Nakabisado ko na ang SM North kakaikot. Hehe. Kasama na diyan ang The Block at ang Cyberworld (Cyberworld nga ba iyon?) Just for the record, I haven't touch any of my readings. Haay... There goes my drive to study... maybe i'll start tomorrow. Oh, by the way. I'm officially bankrupt. One good reason why I avoid malls...

So to reiterate: earlier, i was

1. full of moolahs
2. eager to study
3. has about 8 hours of free time to study
4. VERY positive
potential productivity: at least 8 cases read

now, i am

1. bankrupt
2. dead tired
3. has only 2 hours till midnight
4. barely positive
actual productivity: zero; null; 0

at least, i'm still in a barely positive mood. Even if it just barely. No one will like it if i turn nasty... *wink

P.S.
In case you're wondering how I further wasted my day, well, i surfed the net, ate dinner, surf the net some more, play virtual chess (i can only beat my opponent at Level 1, I have a hard time keeping up with the thing at Level 2 T_T), blogged and bloghopped.

How to Waste an Entire Day

tagged...again... there should be some immunity factor to this...

THE RULES

- each blogger starts with ten random facts/habits about themselves.
- bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their ten things and post these rules.
- at the end of your blog, you need to choose ten people to get tagged and list their names.
- don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.

NOTE: i was tagged before. Twice, to be exact. Once in my deviant art account and the other one was in this multiply account. So I say that we have to have an immunity factor to all these tagging business... sheesh. Anyway, I will still comply because the last time I was tagged, the rules only asked for 8 things about me. Now, it says that I have to name 10 things. Also, there are some things about me during the last post that are not applicable anymore... Besides, this is for the benefit of the C people as well, since they don't know much about me yet. So here is my revised "things about me."

1.I have a lion stuff toy. I named him Aslan. He was given to me by my friends during my 21st birthday. He disappeared for about two days just a few weeks ago. I though he was kidnapped or something. it turns out, he was hiding in my closet...

2. I search for people that managed to caught my attention in the internet. They might not know this but what the heck. I manage to found out the birthday of a person through this. hehe... >> i am a very good internet stalker... *evil grin

3. doing ambigrams and anagrams of my name, sometimes others' names as well... I think I have an obsession with anagrams. I got this habit from Dan Brown's works.

4. I play the guitar. I love playing the guitar, especially when I like to project a senti image. Haha... but really, i love the kind of music the guitar produces.

5. I am a jack-of-all-trades person. I can sing, dance, draw, act, play instruments, etc. I forfeited my acting career before. I realized that i don't really like to act. I am also willing to sacrifice some of my skills in order to develop other skills...the arts vs. logic thing>> i need more of the logic, verbal, communication skills right now. Unknown to many, I find it hard to articulate after i immersed myself in some art stuff, so, I distance myself from sketching/drawing/painting/photoshopping too much... :c

6. for the C people: my official nickname is Faye. I opted to use Annie in lawcshool because it is closer to my real name, hence, preventing instances of people asking "who is anniefair?"

7. When I am in a crisis or in the middle of a big problem, i sleep. hehe... It's my way of relieving stress and clearing my mind. When I wake up, I don't feel so panicky as before and I can make more rational decisions.

8. A friend once called me "The Great Shock Absorber." i really don't know why. Personally, i'de rather be called "Faye-chan the Great" :P

9. i am addicted to Payless pancit canton...

10. Addicted to humorous comic strips such as beerkada, Pugad Baboy, Garfield, Kiko Machine, etc. i am currently reading Calvin and Hobbes right now...

i am tagging all people who read this post...

That you don't have the strength to fight
But do you have the faith to stand...

over and done with...

My blockmates and I had our Legal Method Midterms awhile ago. It was our first midterms as UP Law school students. I don't know how the others have fared, but I think the exam was fine. It was not uber hard as I thought it would be, but nonetheless, my hand ached because of it. I think it is still aching now...

Anyway, after the exams, I hurriedly left for home. Usually, post-exam moments are the best moments to celebrate with friends. During my undergrad years, a post-exam of a grueling Philo 11 course is celebrated at the nearby Go Nuts Donuts where my friends and I would laugh at the silliest and corniest jokes. I don't think that we will still laugh at those jokes given a different situation where all our brain neurons were not so abused. What the heck, it was fun. Back then.

But after our midterms, I just decided to go home and rest awhile. I was a bit sleep deprived because I have to prepare for the exam and all that (I bet all of us were). So, that's what I did. I went home and sleep. I got myself out of bed just now. And now, now is the time to do what I should have done weeks ago...watch Heroes! Read comics! Surf the net! Hehe... I swear I will not touch anything acad related today! No way! Bukas na ulit... ^_^

All hail UPCAT

Wooh!! Because the UP Diliman will be having the UPCAT tomorrow, we, its denizens, will have no classes for tomorrow! Yey!

Anyway, speaking of UPCAT, I used to wait for the UPCAT, ask around who are the brave individuals who dareds to take the qualifying exam, wait around for the results and check whose lucky names are written on the bulletin boards at the OUR. That's because as far as I am concerned, there are names that I wanted to see written on those boards. There are people a year or two my junior that i wanted to pass the UPCAT. However, since it has been four freaking years since I graduated from highschool, I don't personally know the takers anymore, and that made it less exciting for me.

In any case, we still get to have a day off. Wheeee!!!
