mga kwento lang

i'm too tired to organize my thoughts into one essay-type composition so i'll just go ahead and write down stuff i want to.

kwento #1
last sunday i went to see an opera (yes, that was very cultured of me wasn't it?). it was mozart's don giovanni. it was kind of interesting but rather long. not too different from your usual musical play (the singers weren't all fat and wearing hats with horns or anything like that). i kind of dozed off towards the end though. anyway, while we were waiting to get out of the parking garage after the show, who else passes by our car but don giovanni himself! just to inform you, he was kind of hot in an almost model-type kind of way with longish, shiny brown hair and a strong jawline. so of course, i did what one would expect me to do. . . i waved at him. he looked kind of surprised and actually looked like he was keeping himself from laughing which is kind of a strange reaction from someone who is almost a celebrity. my friends on the other hand were soooo embarassed for me for what reason i'm not exactly sure of. they kind of gave me a hard time about it but i didn't care. i just told them i always do things like that and there is no shame in that right? so, come monday, when i went to our bible study, we were telling bob, our bible study leader, about going to the opera. and of course alisha (my music major friend) told him about my supposedly embarassing behavior in the parking lot. of course it just so happens that "don giovanni" was bob's churchmate and the vocal coach of his son! he of course went on to inform me that "don giovanni" was already married and with a small child. but if i so wished, he would be glad to introduce me to him and have him sing for me or something. then i was embarassed. seems i would be hearing about this for a long time. . .

kwento #2
finished my rotation presentation yesterday. it went pretty well, i think. people keep telling me i explain stuff very well. if explaining means talking non-stop for ten minutes without pausing for breath then i think i was a success. i'm pretty proud of myself. i actually had cheat sheets prepared but i did not so much as glance at them while i was presenting. so very PI-like of me. i was also wearing pink which always makes me feel pretty. hehe. in fact, i had lunch afterward and the waiter (who was obviously gay, because he immediately commented on my sweater) kept calling me gorgeous and pretty in pink and precious. and guys kept opening doors for me. must remember to buy more pink sweaters. . . i bought the new U2 album pala. sounds good so far. pero wala pang song na nagsa-stand out for me other than vertigo just because i heard it so much before the album came out. but its U2 and U2 can do no wrong in my book, just because bono is bono. . .

have to go now. tuyo na siguro laundry ko. i actually have to make two trips from the laundry place to my apartment this time!
