There has always been something in silence that seduced me. The quiet things somehow seem more moving, more potent. So much stays in the realm of the unsaid, and after everything else, still so much would remain when we could say all that we can.

Yesterday was the day I should have died...but then one of ny exams was postponed so it just delayed the inevitable. It was a reeally hectic day...but it had a somewhat happy ending, or rather, the day didn't end at all. But I'll get to that later. After taking my physics finals exam, which I desperately needed to pass, I had to rush back to the venue for the Induction Night club event which I was in charge of. Though the last last minute details were a bit rushed, I think it was a small success. I guess people don't have too many complains so as long as you put something in their mouths. We ended sometime around 10 o'clock pm then esther invited the officers for a round of drinks in Starbucks...her treat. Naturally, no one refused the offer, hehe. So off we went to bond over a couple of frappucinos(<-probably not the right spelling) and kill time...which is always a good thing to do among friends. Most of them had 'curfews' by 11pm so rowelle, kooky, kendrick and I decided to go to eastwood and go on an all-nighter...and that we did. We walked around at first to some bookstores and exhibits then decided to play billiards, but after finding out that the sports bars had a long waiting list, we decided to kill time in some disco/bar called Ipanema. There were a lot of people standing and dancing to the loud music but we just stood around for a while admiring the 'finer' things in life (except fot kooky). Then we decided to sit outside and have a round of drinks. Ken and Rowelle had san mig light, kooky had a Miller and I settled for Iced tea(their eyebrows raising). Then, rowelle starts up this game supposedly done among drinking buddies. it's designed for two people where both persons have ten questions for each person. Since there were four of us, we then had 5 questions for each other, and we could ask anything under the sun...and I mean ANYTHING! And boy, the questions they asked! Plus pwede pang magsama ng corollary or follow-up question from the main question...so mahaba-haba talaga yung usapan. We ended up spilling out information about our 'darker' secrets, our frustrations, some crazy as well as scary experiences that we would have rather left unsaid, buried and forgotten. And at the end of it all, we ended up finding out stuff about each other or divulging stuff about ourselves more than what we wanted to. As for me, i got a closer look and a somewhat inward glimpse of the drive that motivates or haunts these three individuals. But it was also funny how we all tried to corner each other with the barrage of questions which turned out to be more of an interrogation rather than a bonding session, hehe. We were on our way to our respective homes by 6am. I couldn't get to sleep right away, actually, I wasn't sleppy at all. I got to think about the the questions they asked, my responses and their reactions to my response. I always hate the feeling of having to say things but end up feeling like I haven't said anything at all. Or even sometimes, when I think that my ideas to most things are in always constant conflict...I say one thing at one time then later think that maybe that wasn't it at all but something else. I guess, everyone has times they can't figure themselves out...well, probably people can't really figure themselves out at all. period. But if ever I do figure things out...I think that would make a rather interesting entry. Maybe.
