Morbid indulgence

Yep, i'm still alive, despite the lack of post for the whole month of september. well, guess you already had guessed it by the tons of forwarded messages i've been sending. it just feels nice to greet my blog with that line. it signals the start, much like the sound of revving up an engine.

hmm... with the aftermath of the typhoon milenyo, you could have thought that there are a million things to write about. and yes, there are...

there's the fact that we went for almost 3 days without electricity. i love it. i made a ball out of melted wax from the candles we used at night. then again, between the ball of wax and the endless nights in front of the tv, i would definitely choose the latter.

there's the lack of water which comes with the power outtage. i discovered that it was possible to bathe with only a pail that is 75% full of water. had to made do without conditioner though.

there's the necessary trip to the mall just so we could charge the batteries of our cellphones. heaven forbid we miss on the latest in forwarded message technology. nah... i need the cellphone so that i could receive that exquisite official announcement from our dean that classes would be suspended. my cp was quite useless for forwarding because i ran out of credits.

there's the cancellation of classes, which had been most fortunate for students, particularly those scheduled to have exams... like... me, for example. and to think I already have my chance to study, yet blew it by sleeping those days off...

there's the rehearsal for our role-playing for medical ethics for monday (which is tomorrow). plm was closed last saturday, the selected date of our rehearsal, so we had to content ourselves in the walls of intramuros. quite fun, actually, practicing amidst ruins. i am going to play the part of a mep (which, i have learned from our very able director/scriptwriter/producer/up manila's magna cum laude means medical emergency personnel) and an actress who stars in a teleserye where she gets to wear a very skimpy red outfit and fly around and save people (yes, it is an adaptation of angel locsin, who i have lambasted in previous entries). those are two separate characters, not two personas merged into one. they are quite small roles so they can be managed by one person. as of now, i still don't know my lines. i still don't know what to wear for both of my characters. and to think that i had to change outfits in a relatively short period of time. oh well, i choose not to worry myself over a 1-unit course.

there's my visit to the beauty salon. i had my eyebrows shaped into an orderly fashion. i don't generally pay attention to my looks, but this is special because i'm playing angel locsin. angel locsin does not have bushy eyebrows! i also got myself my very first hotoil treatment. big mistake. i did not see any difference with my hair. that's 100 bucks down the drain.

yep, there are so much to write about.

but i'm not in the mood.

so i have to put it off until my fingers know what to wirte about and how to write them properly.
