[listening to] Kirei Da - w~inds.
Felt quite guilty with enjoying the long weekend when Yoyong devastated the rest of the country. Especially since CNN and BBC kept flashing those images of people on the roofs of their houses, corpses, the jampacked evacuation centers.
But life goes on. School, and its requirements, have been merely delayed.
Man, I can't believe I'm thinking in terms of school stuff again. This is no way to live. I mean academics ARE important, but so are countless other things.:D
On a side note, I'm currently reading The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon. I've just started on it. So far, so good. The style reminds me of The Catcher in the Rye (yeah, Holden ^^). It's told in the first-person point of view. While many other books do this, few actually immerse you in the narrator, or make you feel like you really understand this person. I suck at explaining, but that's it is for me.
I cannot put into words how good it is to be reading a 'new' book. You can only re-read Agatha Christie books so much. I mean, I love Hercule Poirot and all. But let's face it, these books aren't that exciting to begin with. Why do I even want to re-read them, when I already know who the criminal is (unless I've forgotten since I've read it ages ago)?
Anyway. The Dude texted last night --- wait, yesterday, seeing how it's past 2 am. First he sent some pa-cute quote to which I had the good sense not to reply to with a similar quote. I have, after all, vowed to stop obssessing about him, although he pops up in my thoughts with alarming frequency, and everytime the jeepney I am in passes by his org's tambayan I crane my neck to catch a glimpse of his presence/non-presence. Then he texts that he's sorry he hasn't texted in a long time, implying that he is somewhat obliged to text me, which he isn't. And he's always so nice and smiley, you know? Even in text. I wish he could be a bad-ass once in a while. Like that has a chance of happening, hahaha. So I asked him if he was going to *the party*, blah blah blah.
The end result: We shall be having lunch tomorrow (oops, later) with him because my friend will be giving him the invitation to *the party*. So I'm thinking -- bugoy or girly? Cause it takes so much effort to look hot (well, just pretty in my case...) especially when you're still awake past 2 am and have to get up at 5 am.
OK will sleep now.
