Yahey! October 28, 2008
Posted by Mayee in : Daily Babble , add a commentYan lang ang masasabi ko sa ngayon.
Sembreak ko na rin sa wakas. Pagbigyan niyo po ang pagtagalog ko sa entry na ito.. wala lang ako sa mood magpaka-proper na English. Wooh!
Kahit one week na lang halos ang natitira sa bakasyon, okay lang.. bakasyon pa rin. Gusto ko na matulog ng matulog.. magpaka-bum. Pero mas gusto kong lumabas ng lumabas, kung may pera lang ako. Gusto kong gumala, gumimik, tumambay, lumabas, humiga lang.. lahat ng hindi ko magawa pag may pasok (well at least with a clear conscience that is.. haha).
Matter of fact, I just came home from having coffee with a friend of mine.. I missed hanging out with him, kahit saglit lang. Everybody seems to be too busy to hang out these days. Well anyway, I realized that I have a relatively boring life right now.. there’s nothing much to tell. My extra-curriculars aren’t exactly life-of-the-party material.
Therefore, I need a hobby. And the search for a hobby begins. [Funny thing, if you stare at the word “HOBBY” long enough, it just looks like a weird mixture of letters.. sounds funny if you say it over and over again too.]
I’ll let you know how it goes. Haha.
Floating October 10, 2008
Posted by Mayee in : More than just words , add a commentPeople were walking past me as I made my way slowly towards the MRT station at Quezon Avenue. I was walking ever so slowly. It might have been my subconscious way of being careful because my mind was not at all on the cars, the people, the street.
Before I knew it, the headlights of big black pick-up were just a few inches from me — the driver honking madly. I should have been startled.. I should have at least tried to dodge as quickly as I could. Instead, I was just standing there, staring for a few seconds at the truck’s plate number before realizing what was going on. Then I just walked away slowly.
I felt like there was a huge void in the place where my brain was supposed to be. I wasn’t in the place I wanted to be — in more ways than one. It’s as if I was in Context Switch mode.. the limbo between states of mind.
The night went on.. and as different things transpired that night, I was in a different kind of dizziness. I was still in a void, but a different kind of void.
My eyes blurred at the view of the dark silhouettes of the buildings along EDSA zooming past as we drove by. My mind was drifting, lost in the concert of thoughts in my head — sometimes when there’s too much, there’s nothing. I could have stayed in that tranquil state forever, but I had to snap out of it. The midnight road isn’t something one wants to be simply drifting through.
That night I couldn’t sleep. I stared at my bedroom ceiling, listening to Joshua Radin’s “Winter” track over and over again. Occasional glimpses at my clock let me know that time was either in a stand-still or it was moving really really slowly. The sound of the second hand’s soft tick-tock was deafening even through the music in my ears.
It was like I was high.
Let me down, then take me higher…
Hellweek October 6, 2008
Posted by Mayee in : Daily Babble , add a commentYet another one has come my way.
I have an exam tomorrow at 1PM. I am cramming, as are the rest of my classmates (who are conveniently cramming together at Jen’s house). Please let the exam be answerable.
I have an MP due on Wednesday. I’m quite far from accomplishing my part… since I do have an exam to prepare for. Gawd I hope we can pass it on time.
After that, an exam on Saturday.
Then finals week!
I will be so happy when this is all over! (well not really, I have to pass all subjects first before I can really be happy) I’ll be FREEEEEE!
Let’s party.
A Day of Meals October 3, 2008

(right) My Pasta Puttanesca leftovers (@ Chocolate Kiss)
I slept at 3AM this morning. For me that’s an all-new record for early bedtime. Naturally, as all unusual things seem to never go unpaired, I woke up with a splitting headache, but the 8:00 AM time on my bedside clock seemed to indicate the start of a good day — which are rare.
Went online, plurked, checked my mail.. then got ready for school. It was hot as hell on my way to school. I thought it would rain hard when afternoon came ‘coz that’s how it usually works. Amazingly enough, the day stayed bright and sunny the rest of the day.
Got to school in time for CS 150 class. Ma’am Chris discussed Syntax and Semantics (plus tips and tricks, as well as the algo we’d be using for phase 2 of our Machine Problem).
I accompanied Dan to Chocolate Kiss after my class. We were to meet Mr. Aldwin (person making CURSOR shirts) there. By this time, the fact that I had not eaten anything since I woke up was making itself very apparent through hunger. I had forgotten all about food. So Chocolate Kiss sounded perfectly perfect.
I ordered Pasta. Dan got Fries and Sans rival. We talked over late “lunch”. CURSOR stuff.. people.. more CURSOR stuff. Haha.
It was almost 5 PM when we left Choc Kiss. I went to Eng’g. It’s been AAAAGESSSSSSSSSS since I went to our tambayan. I’ve missed seeing people around Eng’g too.
I was about to go home when I got a text from Marie. The rest is history.
Dinner at Sisig Hooray, then dessert at Jollibee (<<eh. haha). For the record, Sisig Hooray is NOT a good place to dine. What ever happened to regular plates and spoons and forks? Ever heard of CFCs? (They were using Styros even for those dining in). And MICROWAVE SISIG? Puhlease. Haha!
(left) The amazing upside-down cone-in-cup! (Makes no sense)
I had fun talking over dinner, as I always do. :) Grabe lang ang iyong question and answer portion, Marie. With the hand gestures and everything. Haha.
I took the LRT from Katipunan station. The new 11:00 closing time comes in very handy at times like these. I’d usually take the scary jeepneys to Cubao otherwise. Then MRT to Ayala where I bumped into Kai! :) We rode the shuttle together — while updating each other on the latest CURSOR-related chismis. Haha.
It’s one of those good days.
