sick of the net
i hate the net.
last term, i had to make so many research projects and reaction papers that going online means only that to me now -school work.
just glad the term is over.
the days when i failed to make entries in my journals were so full of events, that i'll only try to write down here all of the important ones, just for the sake of remembrance.
:: nmat - it was fairly easy, but then again, i'm not expecting a high ranking... i sucked at inductive reasoning... there was this one part, the visual acuity test... it made my head spin. never have i felt the importance of 20/20 vision until that moment when i was looking down on all of those mirror images and intricate patterns. i scolded myself right then and there for not going to the ophthalmologist... my vision is around 75, i think.
:: final exams - fucking parasitology.
i'm like the fat cat who consoled itself that fish is not that delicious after failing to snatch it from a high table (it's a kiddie story... i read it off a book when i was 10). i know i'm an inch from flunking parasitology, so i'm consoling myself, saying that it's not my fault and that grades cannot measure the kind of person you truly are... yeah right.
:: application to st. luke's - uhm... i left my wallet in the registration area... dammit. loved those double cheeseburgers though... and i thank sheena's mom for opening my world to them.

yesterday, we went to market market, the new mall at global city... hey, for all of you who don't know, taguig is already a city. big deal. anyway, there was a dog show... i just love them puppies... now i know that beagles are the most adorable dogs in the world... they have such a quiet way about them.. they seem so kind. siberian huskies are the most handsome... oohh, those intense blue eyes... i could look at them forever. pomeranians are the cutest... they look like cotton candies... and they have a funny way of bantering. there was this bitchy chihuahua there, barks at all the people who walks by... feeling maganda. sarap sipain. parang may maipagmamalaki. never will i buy chihuahuas. they are such hideous creatures. despite of that, the dog show made my visit to market market worthwhile, since the mall itself was boring. i hope next time i visit the place, it has more things to offer. i'ma check out their cinemas next time.

i'm still sulking over not being able to play the sims2... i mean, what's the use of pc with 40 gigabytes it only has 90 Mb of ram? i just abhor them system requirements.
to make up for the loss, i'm playing civilization III. not as fun as the sims2, but heck, it has its own merits. it gives the same feeling of power, since you're running a country there. the first time i played, i sat in front of the pc for 5 hours straight, stopped to eat lunch and take a bath, then played again for 3 hours. isang game pa lang yun. whew! tagal... but i came out a loser in the end. i think i'm getting the hang of it, being a loser i mean. but i'm also getting quite good in the game.
i also watched dvd's...
shark tale, 50 first dates, the terminal, stepford wives.
the first two, i was able to catch at the movies, but i so loved them that's why i bought a dvd copy.
i just finished reading lloyd alexander's taran wanderer and john steinbeck's of mice and men. now, i'm on the first page of cervantes' don quixote.
i feel alive again.
i just love vacations.
