Well, my celfone is officially out of order. The technician said there was a short circuit or something caused by overcharging or probably from getting wet. It'll take three days before finding out if they can fix it so I'll be left incommunicado(<-tama ba to) for that duration...which would include my birthday...haha(huhu)<-schizo talaga. Oh well, I may not get my birthday greetings but that means I wouldn't be obligated to treat them either...wehehe. Win some and you lose some.
So after I had my cellphone diagnosed, I decided to watch a movie. I'm not particularly fond of disaster movies but I decided to watch "The day after tomorrow"...since there really wasn't any other choice(except for shrek2...but there was a long queue). It wasn't a bad movie and I was actually surprised as to how many people actually came to watch it too. It had that "Independence Day" feel to it since they are actually from the same makers. I've noticed that these type of movies always have an emphasis on the white house or the president...you know, that they hold these positions and people in power in such high regard. I guess I just can't relate being a Filipino, especially when having the whole political scenario here is like having one big circus show. If there would be any movie that would include Philippine politics at present...it would no doubt be a comedy.
I've got twenty four hours more befroe i turn twenty two...i guess that's why i can't get sleep. or maybe it's because it's my enrolment in just a couple of hours from now...new life and such. I'm excited and scared...haven't felt like this since my first day of high school...which could be a good sign afterall. I don't really recall any strong feeling of anicipation or excitement when I first enrolled in UP. Hmmm, oh yeah...while watching the movie earlier...i was kinda reminded of why i wanted to be an architect as a kid. I didnt really think about making houses for people, just making my own house in particular. Always wanted to have a house like...ehem...batman's. You know, with all those secret passages and cool trap doors that even the wife and kids won't know about. And of course, as a kid...i was enamored by the thought of inevitable world war and wanted to design my own bunker and tunnel ways in which mankind would survive after the holocaust. haha, crazy kid!
Hmm...i guess i'll end it here for now. Have some other stuff to finish:)

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.

It's a crazy day for me today...everything has something wrong with it. My computer has been hanging all morning and my celfone isn't turning on. There's probably something wrong with the battery or the charger. Di tuloy ako makainvite for my birthday...maybe it's Gods way of saying di nalang ako magblowout, hehe. Hmm, so here I am, typing some papers and blogging in some cafe instead. There's a kid beside me and he's playing some game where US president Bush kills terrorists who try to attack the white house...haha, it's so funny...the games these days. Namiss ko tuloy pagkabata ko (O! bawal magcomment sa age ko:p)
hmmm...the kids playing another cool game...Gun Bound ata ang title. I can't concentrate on my blogging coz the games are so amusingly distarcting, hehe. So TTFN!

My lousy social skills
scenario 1
guy waits arounds in some cafeteria for the dinner he just ordered when he spots a familiar face and pretends not to notice her...
girl: oi, don fruto...hi...
guy: ei, hi...
girl: kumusta na?
guy: ...uhm, ok lang...
girl: graduate ka na ba?
guy: (waves a shaky hand with matching dumb look)
girl: ahh...alam mo ba pangalan ko?
guy: (looks even dumber)...
girl: Gwen...sa Kalayaan...
guy: aahh...tama...(still looks dumb)
eats dinner awkwardly, then leaves without saying goodbye.
scenario 2
venue:kalayaan dormitory
guy sits by a staircase looking outside, then a girl sits beside him...
girl: Hi,... may problema ka ba?
guy: Uhm, wala naman...
girl: mukha ka kasing malungkot. Ako nga pala si...
-both parties introduce themselves and have a warm conversation. The girl keeps the guy company till his ride arrives about an hour later. The guy bumps into her a week later and doesn't even say hello (l-o-s-e-r).
