post-despidida musings

i've been too wiped out to post the past two days. i feel like i have to cram a lot of things into these last few days and i'm sooo tired. . . and anxious. . . and nervous. . . and excited. . . and obviously confused. . . hehe.

for those who weren't there ( shie, arlene and jenb. . . miss ko na kayo!) my despidida went pretty well. i didn't bawl my eyes out! what a feat! i'm so proud of me. . . i learned that the technique to not crying is to start fake crying when you feel the urge to cry. . . it worked all the time. . .

there was a lot of food. pero di ako masyado nakakain. . . everytime sasarap na kain ko either may dadating na tao or may aalis. . . but i'm making up for it by eating leftover party food for breakfast, lunch and dinner for three days now. . .

these days, i'm starting to equate food with videoke. . . singing probably helps people's digestion or something. . . pero ang saya. . .siyempre star sina mel and patrick. . . and the surprise star of the night was eloise with her rendition of estudyante blues (mabuhay ang mga RAs)! and i'm so proud of the church kids kasi almost all of them sang. i just wasn't there for all the "performances" because i was running around the place all the time. . . siyempre di rin patatalo photon friends although medyo wala ng tao when they started singing. di pa nga enough sa kanila ang magic mic, buti na lang nandon si oliver. . . they stayed until 2:30 am. pinaalis ko na sila kasi di na ako makamulat :) we talked about our lovelives. . . correction: their lovelives pala. . . ahhhh, to see the day when i could talk about my lovelife until 2 in the morning. . . maybe in 5 yrs or so. . . i'm hoping this blog will read more like the other blog jae and jem are religiously following by then (wink wink). hehe. . . o baka lab life na lang talaga by then. . . like how i've knocked out a useless gene and ended up with healthy and thriving mice/worms/arabidopsis. . . well, it's anybody's guess . . . basta i'll take the next few days one day at a time. . . or by the hour na siguro para sulit. . .

postscript: did i not say the US vs lithuania game was something to look forward to or what?!? galing talaga nung guy with frosted tips na naka 3 3-pointers in a minute or so. . . have you guys heard of micropets? bumili kami kahapon sa glorietta. dati siyang P500 ngayon P99 na lang. para silang tiny robots na cats, dogs, bears, etc na sumusunod sa voice commands. they're sooooo cute. then if you have more than one, they interact with each other. nakakaaliw. magdadala nga ako sa states para may makausap naman ako. kaso nga lang conversation namin limited to "Snow, let'walk/run/turn/bye-bye". . . well, that's better than nothing. hehe.
