I Think July 30, 2008
Posted by Mayee in : Daily Babble , add a commentI think I’m being too happy about things.
I think this should not be happening.
I think life’s tricking me again.
I think my head’s getting fudged up again.
I think I’m making the same mistake again.
I think I should know better.
I think the consequences of my actions will catch up with me soon.
I think I don’t want a repeat.
I think a repeat would tear me apart.. what’s left of me, that is.
I think I’m too tired of thinking now. So what if I just let things be? just this once..
Day day day July 25, 2008
Posted by Mayee in : Daily Babble , add a commentI blog bad days better than I do good days.
But yeah, today was fun.. impromptu reporting, mindsplitting lab exercise, morning traffic and all. It was also the CURSOR applicants’ talents night, so that was an added bonus. Plus, I got to eat at Rodics again for dinner after the longest time, and I’ve missed their Tapsilog so much.
Left school at around a quarter to 9 in the evening. Got home around 10:30.
If you haven’t seen the Ayala MRT station lately.. well, you should. There is something to smile about in the way they’ve set up their latest Lipton marketing stunt.
So now I’m really sleepy but I went and found a last shred of bubbliness to blog this, however miserable recap of a day this is. So here’s to one really awful and short blog entry! :)
Taking My Own Advice July 23, 2008
Posted by Mayee in : Daily Babble , add a commentI amaze myself sometimes at the insight I get when giving other people advice. And it amazes me even further that I seem to be the last person I wanna listen to. It’s highly comedic in a contradictory sort of way, if you get my meaning.
But really, the world keeps telling us how to live. It’s in the sights we see, the music we hear, the people we’re with.. and yet we’re still confused. You want an apple, you climb up a tree and get it. Life gets hard around the part where you DO know what you want but everything else around you tells you to shut the hell up and want something else.
Now that’s just crazy.
And confusion is its disguise. :)
MY FIRST WITH A GUN July 20, 2008
Posted by Mayee in : Daily Babble , add a commentThe bus we were in this evening got held-up. At around the Buendia area, two guys stood up and started yelling for everyone to give ‘em their cellphones and money.
One had a gun.
One had a knife.
The one with the gun kept asking me to give him my phone. Crud crud crud.
WOAH. ADRENALINE RUSH. *curse after curse after curse* Haha.
FREAKIN’ SCARY!
Spent around 3 hours at the Makati Central Police Station with the other passengers and the bus driver and conductor trying to straighten out our stories and being interrogated about this and that. That was honestly more stressing than the hold-up itself.
Thank God I was not alone on that ride. Thank God no one got hurt.
Wooh.
0.0. In other news, I lost 2 phones! Both my smart and globe.. I’ll be getting a replacement sim for my smart later.. but goodbye to my globe.. and the hundreds of contacts I had on those phones. << This is the part I hate the most.. rebuilding my phonebook.
BUT IT WAS STILL A GOOD DAY. :) Fever, exam, and hold-up aside.

Lovely Rainy Days July 15, 2008
Posted by Mayee in : Daily Babble , 3commentsThe clouds were dark as night when I got off the bus at the Alabang exit. I predicted rain. HEAVY rain. Luckily, I had already gotten on the jeepney before it actually poured down like the end of the world was near. The plastic curtains that usually kept the inside of the jeepney dry were flapping like crazy with the wind, getting me and everyone else on that jeep as wet as though we were actually under the rain.
Some guy in the front (the jeep seats 2 people in the front, beside the driver) was mumbling about getting wet and the hassles of heavy rain. The old man beside him chuckled lightly, and I couldnt help but chuckle a bit myself without knowing why we were chuckling at all.
“Ganyan talaga ang buhay..” the old man said out loud.
“Uulan at uulan rin. Mababasa ka, pero matutuyo ka naman ulit diba?” he said as he smiled and flashed a wise old gaze to the man beside him. The driver was all the while smiling at the old man’s words, as was I.
“Sa tabi lang po.” The man beside the driver said as we reached a road near Alabang Town Center.
“Naku sorry po, mababasa po pala kayo” he said to the old man who had to get down from the jeep and get under the rain so that the younger guy could also get down.
The old man merely laughed.
“Ganyan lang nga talaga ang buhay. Pag umulan, mababasa talaga tayo.” he continued saying as the other guy walked away.
Then he went on talking. “Kailangan talaga sa buhay ang umulan paminsan minsan. Kailangan yan para tumubo ang halaman. Kailangan rin naman ng init ng araw.”
At this point I could not help but smile at the wonderfully insightful phrases the old man had said. Amazingly though, no one else in that jeep except the driver seemed to think there was something wonderful about this old man.
“Eh kung magrereklamo ka lang ng magrereklamo, aba’y wala ka ring mapapala. Kung ano man ‘yang ibigay sayo, araw man o ulan, eh huwag mo nang hanapan ng iba at tanggapin mo na. Ganyan lang para maging masaya. Dumadaan lang naman ‘yan eh. Titigil at titigil rin ang ulan.” :)
He didn’t stop smiling after he had finished his little monologue. The wind roared even louder and the rain got even harder, but I couldn’t seem to care less.
I reached my destination, got off the jeep, and surprisingly faced the harsh rain with a smile painted on my face. It was as though the cold hard wind, which would have gotten me cursing if I were in my usual mood, was nothing but a gentle breeze, like the wind in the mountains when you’re on an early-morning hike.
A sudden gust flipped my umbrella inside-out the same instant I landed on the flooded sidewalk with a huge splash right up to my knees, and I got soaked to the bone. I was amused to find, though, that I had just laughed it off.
I got home, put on an acoustic oldies CD on my dad’s sound system, turned it up loud, went out, and just stood in the rain, looking up at the sky. I felt like Pocahontas for a minute or two, with the wind blowing in my hair, and the splash of rain on my face. It was the best feeling I’ve had in a long time. I was calm. I was content. I was happy.
Sometimes life hands you a good day. :)
Happy and Sad July 13, 2008
Posted by Mayee in : Daily Babble , add a commentI am in a singy mood right now.. and it’s not just because I saw “Mamma Mia” the movie this evening.
Had lunch with friends! Met up with Clauds, Johann, Kevin, and Philip at Sinangag Express (phase 3) around noon time. Yep, Sinangag Express because we (well, Clauds and I) were all cost-cutting. After lunch and some chitchat we went to Johann’s place. We watched THE HAPPENING. It was not that great a movie, but it was hellufalot freaky. I would not want to be stuck in that movie’s plot.
Aaaand! Johann’s dog, Cotton, is uber duper super kaduper cuuuuute!
Kevin with Cotton. :)
There was also so much food at Johann’s house, a.k.a. “The Grocery Store.” I missed chocolates. *mouth watering*
Kevin drove Claude and me home. When I got home, I plopped on my bed and stared at my very messy room. I was supposed to go acad-mode, but it really was the last thing in the world I wanted to do. So I agreed to go out to ATC with my sister and my mom. :)
We did a little shopping for a birthday gift for my dad since it’s his birthday tomorrow. Then we caught the 5:45 screening of “Mamma Mia”. It really was a nice movie. A relief from all the action movies I’ve been seeing lately (namely WANTED, three times in a row). I laughed, I cried, and got LSS from the songs, so yup, it is a must-see.
When I got home I was in a sing-song mood. Happy as can be. And now I’m not. It is distressing how energy and happiness can just be SUCKED right out of me. Crud.
Can I just stay this mad at you forever? Can I just not care at all?
