kwento lang

this is probably the longest i've gone without blogging for the past 2 weeks or so. i'm kind of busy in the lab now and when i am in front of the computer i can't think of anything interesting to write about. . . well, i'll give it a try. . .

this weekend was pretty good. friday night , i got to have my first night out here at columbus courtesy of the christian graduate students alliance (or association? im not sure). i attended their fellowship which was pretty fun as far as christian fellowships go. the people there are a bit older than me and they were quite weird actually, so i felt right at home. we all went to dinner in downtown columbus after the thing. the downtown is actually very pretty at night. downtown columbus is relatively small (mas maliit pa sa makati or ortigas) and the buildings are a bit older so it was kind of quaint and not very metropolitan at all. tsaka parang ang tahimik.

saturday, i was ate lea's the whole day. they picked me up to do my laundry. naawa sila kasi ang layo ng labahan ko. so while doing laundry i was supposed to be reading an article but i of course ended up watching cable tv all day. puro specials at reality tv ang pinanood ko. sobrang weird na ng mga palabas dito. i saw a bit of "surreal life". jordan knight of new kids on the block was there. he got fat since he released an album a few years back. mukha na siyang tatay. tapos nandoon din si brigitte nielsen, yung ex ni stallone. sobrang weird niya. parati siyang nakahubad. basta ang weird. i also saw a vh1 special "i love the 90's: 1990". feeling matanda na tuloy ako kasi parang lumalabas na ang tagal na ng 1990 e alalang-alala ko pa yun. do you remember the slap-on bracelets na nauso nung grade school? wala lang, na-feature kasi dun. aliw. then they had this whole segment on sinead o'conner's video of "nothing compares 2 u" and people like michael buble and john mayer and this other comedian was singing it and crying. ang funny. then they now have a 90's trivial pursuit. i should probably get that.

sunday, i finally found a church i think i'd go to maybe for the next couple of weeks or so. someone from cgsa invited me to go there because there was a banquet last sunday. siyempre punta ako, free food e. tapos the pastor picks people up at a dorm close to my place so convenient. ok naman yung church, karamihan international students. tapos very lively and informal ang service so tama lang sa akin. at masarap din naman ang food. hehe.

now i'm starting to see how busy i'll be for the next few months. talagang lahat ng time na wala ako sa class, nasa lab ako. serious na ito. oh no. kaya ko ba?

i'll be injecting the little fishies later. medyo excited ako. ang weird nga e. tuwing nagkakamustahan nga kami ng mga ka-program ko parang feeling ko ako lang yung sobrang naaaliw sa mga bagay-bagay. siguro kasi mababaw ang kaligayahan ko. i think i need to seem more serious. baka akala nila retarded ako or something. abah. magandang impression iyon.
