2 weeks

Spent a week waiting for my grades   Finished reading “WHat Looks Like Crazy (On an Ordinary Day)” …looks like love in the moonlight. *wink* Spent a lot for bus fares and fastfood dinners  Laughed a lot with friends and housemates  Got new “tropas” Had a few drinks Did something I wouldn’t have the guts to do if I stayed sober  Sang a lot of videoke songs kahit paos  Saw a lot of familiar faces in school Got the good news that I still qualify for 3rd yr Got higher than my usual grades in school Attended my first class, not knowing anything about the subject — Couldn’t care less if Saw an oversized baby rat lying dead in our apartment — I was tasked to put it away (shempre d ko kinaya yun) Bought books for this sem and started reading them right away Got new classmates — some I’m glad to be in the same room with, some I’d rather stay away from Got new prospects (joke lang) — single proprietor? ;) Still sick… OA na yung ubo ko  Got my first headache for not being able to comprehend what I’ve been reading for the last three days

It’s Mama’s 46th birthday yesterday. The Evangelista Family was here — aunts, uncles, cousins. We watched a video taken in 1989 at the newly opened Shangrila Mall. It looked a lot different then. It seemed like Shakey’s was the place to eat/ to be. T-shirts and cycling shorts matched with rubber shoes. Good thing t-shirts don’t fit me well then so I didn’t have to be a victim of that fashion style. I wore polo shirts matched with skirts and doll shoes. Ok for a ked eh? I realized why I’m maarte now… my mother used to dress me up kse lagi dati. There was one scene where I was wearing a shirt pala… Barbie. Then Ate noticed… May padding! hahahah! I thought I was the only fashionista in the family… di rin pala! My parents were skinny pa that time. My aunts were high-waisted. Only thing that stayed the same is the fact that I love the camera… I was always there, following the camera and asking the others to look at it, wave and smile. I can’t wait for the other videos to be converted to VCDs. Thanks to technology talaga.

Reminiscing while we were watching the video, I was touched upon seeing myself sitting on my brother’s lap.
