Caravan Blues

i think christmas has gone by.

i went to national bookstore today; they weren't playing christmas songs anymore. suddenly there arent many christmas trees everywhere... and the lanterns... only come to life at night, but dies again when the clock strikes twelve. in the morning, they are but street trash...

haay. i dont feel christmas anymore...

...

maybe it's my allergic rhenitis that's causing this gloomy mood. you see i went to this caravan that my organization has put up. we went to three places in metro manila to visit charity institutions. first we went to this home for the aged in antipolo, and i think it is there where i got the allergens that activated my mucus-secreting glands... their activity was aggravated by the heat when we reached the second destination which was the slum area inside the ABS-CBN compound. it was ironic coz they actually have a squatters' area in a highly industrialized piece of land. hmm... then we were off to nayon ng kabataan in mandaluyong, and by then, my nose is at worst condition.

im sick now. wow. thanks to the heat and the caravan.

at least i get two cdc counts already (i will force jared to make it three). i need two more... actually if i attend many cdc's (more than four, whcih is the required quota), they'd grant me free tickets for the ad hoc-taskforce event next year. but that's highly unlikely to happen because i am at the peak level of slothness i have ever been in my life.

i promise not to join a caravan ever again... as long as it can be avoided. its so tiresome. good thing ninya and pie were there...


let's see.. what are my devoirs for the christmas "vacation..."
-two take-home exams for econ111
-group project (gp) for econ172
-gp for geol1
-individual project (ip) for econ172
-presentation for econ151

that's only for this "break." next year we have to prepare for a quiz in econ111, my french12 finals (then after that it's french13), and midterms for the rest of my subjects. wow! ok...

sabaw. we'll just cross the bridge when we get there.

...

i cant go back to batangas yet. my lola's place doesnt have a phone line because it's too far out in of the city, so i wont get internet connection if i stay there. so i stay here, in qc, for a while, until i get done with things that i need to use the internet for. blah, how could christmas be as boring as this.

bai.

-borrrrrriiiiing... happy christmas.-
