The beginning of the last sembreak
Whoa! It’s been that long since I blogged.
I’m home right now, just got back from Manila yesterday. I’m eating lanzones, after months of trying to ignore the lanzones sold everywhere in Manila for an outrageous price of P30 for half a kilo. That probably reveals how scarce that fruit is in that city. While in my little town, its so abundant it's sold for P30 a kilo. In fact, lots of them were already thrown away because they were starting to rot. Even if you eat a boxful (coz we put them in a box instead of kaing that’s more prone to fruitflies) there is still plenty for everybody. In fact it was just yesterday when the fiesta was celebrated here we call “The Fruit Festival”. That is how bountiful this town is and I love it and I’m proud of it even if nobody really knows where it is. Oh how I love the fact that I can eat as much of any fruit as I want here. Well, almost anything—coz mangosteens are still quite pricey. I barely eat anything that comes from plants back in Manila. Well, I probably do eat some “plant products” but I bet those come from GMOs. Ugh! I’m never going to live to an old age.
Anyway this is the start of the bumming around for the last time. It’s the sem break once more for me and I’m happily stuck at home where I don’t have to think about anything, and there’s nothing crucial I must do for survival like dropping my clothes over at the laundromat, etc. I don’t think I can bum around in the summer coz I’d already be looking for a job. Not that I’m complaining, I’m actually excited to “make money money make money money”! Oh yeah, I’m going to try to work next semester because I only have 15 units left and most of the subjects aren’t really hard (or so I’ve been told). That would be a good money-saving agenda because, instead of getting bored, going to the mall and spending so much for pigging out, and most of all, nightly gimmicks (which is starting to make me feel like it’s a routine after all these years), I would have something else to do. Last sem, I only had 15 units and you have no idea how miserable my life is because I have nothing to do and all my friends have their busy lives to attend to. I’m not a studious person but for lack of anything better to do, I study. Can you believe how pathetic that is? And all my small problems are suddenly magnified because there is nothing else to think about. I was even eaten up by thoughts of my harmless little crush who normally goes out of my mind when he’s out of sight. But well at least the last few weeks were well spent as I’ve met a lot of interesting people. Last night was the only night I didn’t spend on bars for the last 5 days (How could I? I’m home.)
Oops… there’s my Dad telling me to sleep already..Well, there’s an entire month for me to blog.. I guess I’ll just catch some zzzz’s. I already look 5 years older.
