Pigging Out

tomorow, lipa city will celebrate its town fiesta. and im stuck here in qc, studying french and mathematical economics, missing out on the food that should have been in my belly. mum made her famous rainbow gelatin for sure. yum. too bad i have an exam on sunday. i cant go back to batangas. wow, this is the first time i wont attend Pista ni San Sebastian. I'm missing all the traffic, camaron, gelatin, afritada, booze, cordon bleu... huff.

why is there no fiestas here in manila? people here not used to doing town fiestas. in our place, we hold em annually, so there's this annual panic whenever calendar strikes january 20. all houses will be cleaned, refrigerators will be full, and homes will be turned into banquets! it's nice being in a town fiesta. our house never looked better every january 20.

by the way, our patron saint, San Sebastian, was the saint who was arrowed to death while he was tied in a town square. poor guy. i have this mental picture of him in agony, arrows burried into his body in all sides, since i was a child. the Lipa City Cathedral, or the Archdiocese of Lipa to be more technical (where famous people get wed... haha, like ate v...) is full of his pictures. you see there are a lot of things to experience in lipa. fiestas, cathedral paintings, cool climate (well not really, but relatively cooler than here... it's the third highest city in the philippines...), de la salle lipa (yeah.), pakaskas, kapeng barako, etc. etc.

and im missing all of that for mathematical econ. erg.

well.

just finished my short story for cw10. haay, i thought i wasn't gonna finish it tonight. eh deadline for submission is tomorrow morning... 7 am... anu ba un? anlabo ni prof, sobrang aga naman yata.

the title of my short story is: Death Flowers...

well. it sounds like a Palanca winner, like Paz Marquez-Benitez' "DEAD STARS"... haha, so i was planning to change the title into: The Gardening Store, to tone down the emotionally packed title. weeee.

acle this afternoon, so classes were called off. me tin and ayen spent the afternoon lounging at starbucks. well we ate muna at kfc with vida. gawd. talk about pigging out. everyone just forgot about their diets. im not on diet of course. haha, funny. i ate my all time favorites na naman. chicken steak, asian salad in vinaigrette, and chicken fillet. yum! tapos ice monster pa after kumain ng lunch. ye! then starbs na.

saw lots of people in starbucks. first there was petrus, ayen's tuut. petrus is shrinking. maybe he's stressed of all the accounting and stuff. then we saw chinggay andrada, who's so short in person pala. but her arms are trimmed, like what we see on tv. and she's pretty. then saw anna, ANNA! highschool classmate! yey! missed ya, once i thought we have fallen apart, but no. well, see you on the first week of feb. it's a date! si ayen na bahala mag-isip kung san tayo.

uhh, ayen??

haha! tin, anung look yan?

haay, so nice lounging in starbucks. will lounge again on saturday with ayen. will study there, the whole day, because of darn midterms in econ106. guys, dalawin nyo naman kami, miss ko na kayo. hehe. good luck to everyone!

hey, before i go. read this: http://escapeartist.blogs.friendster.com/... the blog entries are really good. i thought at first they were boring, but i just carried on, and got lost in her yankee world.

back to french!
