the usual prick
I arrived here in Manila yesterday.. in time to pay for my new dorm.. in time to have some spared for rest prior to registration day. Sounds okay, you say. But it wasn't quite so.

I got a new place to stay in Katipunan. Reasons for such are:

1. It's closer to case venues (i.e. Starbucks in Katipunan, SBC in Katipunan). Key word here being, Katipunan.

2. It's newer. It's whiter. It's cleaner. Plus I get to enjoy the benefit of having my own bathroom. Now THAT makes it NECESSARY.

3. NO CURFEW. Need I say more?

Now on to the wasn't-quite-so part. I had a semi-thick stack of Php1000 bills from my Mom at around 2am, Monday morning. At around 11am, i had only a number. Money really runs off like water these days. And the price of gas... jeez! Dati parang isang litro lang ng coke. Ngayon pang taxi na. Ooookay, so I got carried away.:)

So awhile ago I did the inevitable "paglilipat" and now am happily settled in my new "home". I guess it's all good save for the fact that I have to wake up early tomorrow in order to change one subject. Reason: to avoid a CBA-hater professor. Just so you know, he's from Econ and not from BA. I'm taking Econ as an elective this semester.

Again to the bad part. Hazel and I were kind of jealous cos a number of our blockmates got letters from P&G. Why? Cos they have fucking GOOD GRADES. Grr. Which reminds me of one of my grades this previous semester. Iara said everyone got a 2-something. That doesn't make me feel any better, in fact, it makes me all the more want to kill my professor.

My Mom reminded me to study well as I left the house. She added, "Do not relax until you graduate."

My answer was, "I really can't afford to, Mom. Naghahabol pa ako."

Yes, ako ay naghahabol. Gusto ko mag-graduate ng may "laude" na nakadugtong sa pangalan ko.

May reklamo?
