Public transportation etiquette

Etiquette. I know you know this too, ami.


It rained for a couple of hours. Expect the road to be wet and muddy.


After getting hit by droplets of water, i strut to a nearby store for cover while waiting for a jeepney to arrive. After playing with my phone's unlock key and a couple of tracks, a jeepney finally arrived. I hastily bored inside and look for the most comfortable seat. Too bad there's no comfortable spot for me because a woman stared at me trying to tell me with her eyes, "don't dare take your seat there!", so I sat down on a random spot instead.


Oh c'mon, lady. Equal distinction. It's no obligation for someone to induct or give a seat to a woman unless you are sick or disabled, right? 


Dripping water, an old lady splattering her wet umbrella while water spatter all over the jeepney, sweat and unwanted stench that would bring you hallucinating. That's what's inside after I sat down.



I'm really annoyed, ami.


You.. yeah, you! Do you have proper etiquette?

De l'expérience

You grow from experience.

Some things are just not meant to work out, you know that. We can't expect everything that happens to us to work out the way we dream them to work out. What's important is that you get something from your experience. We couldn't always think of what are we going to change from the past.


Past is past right?


What's important is now. What we are now. 


Always bear in mind that there's no problem that God has given that we can't surpass.

Bird talk

A couple of birds are tweeting quite loudly from a nearby tree. One of them sings to herself a little morning song while the others seem to tell her with their tight strings of chirps, “Shut up, missy, it's 10:40 in the morning.” 

They continue to talk in bird, but I don’t understand bird.

While listening to the birds chirping this very moment, I just thought that It's hard to determine whether you really have feelings for someone, you are just carried away by good things he or she does. 

In other words, you can never say if you are returning the love, or just returning a favor.

Yeah ami, I know the bird chirping doesn't make sense.

My dinner is getting cold

Hey, ami. I've more time to talk to you again so here I am, yo.

If you had eyes, ears and a nose, you'd probably see the on-going drama at the TV and smell my cold Pork Steak for dinner. You'd probably hear a voice from where my sister is, but really, that voice is probably coming from one of her friends over the phone. If you could feel, then you'd probably feel as cold as all four of us are, all in blankets, jackets and little socks 'coz no one dares to talk.

It's 8:33 PM and it's getting boring as the clock ticks. I've  sent a message to my friend, Charmaine who's on her way home and still hasn't replied yet.  And hey, I said ‘probably’ five times.

Everything feels all right. For the meantime I guess.

Weirdest get-to-know ever

Yeap, hi ami, just got back from a little something with a new friend. I'll let you know that it's already 10:15 in the evening and I nearly sneaked into our house. Munching on this leftover biscuit I got from... where'd I get this again?

Still a bit woozy. I was worried I'd have to go back home just like I did from the same place two years back, but I remember that a friend of mine, told me not to worry 'cause it'll never ran out of jeepneys 'til 11pm. What he did say proved to be right as I found myself this really long strip of jeepneys waiting for passengers to ride in this little jeepney traffic... they were just like ants.

A generous group of people, who I didn't really know prior to today 50%-treated me to a snack. I was willing to pay for it myself but... yeah. Took their  offer anyway!

What else...

I kinda have this weird fascination with my newly-met friend, Charmaine. T'was kind of interesting to know her personally. And yeah, I'm looking forward to know more 'bout her. But I got nerfed out 'cause she had a lot of friends with her and I got tongue-tied eventually.

See ya, ami. kind of freaked out here, gotta look for some sweets to eat.

Drafts

Today's really a very fine day, ami. Even though you won't mind asking, I'm still going to tell. 

We had our Organization's Team Building activity the whole day and it was fun. Don't mention that it's also tiring. We had a lot of games and stuffs. Not to mention foods and snacks. I'm going to post some pictures after the jump. We all had fun and especially, earned new friends and buddies from the said gathering. (too bad, no cute girls)

I'm tired. I prolly need to rest already and post some other entries and stuffs tomorrow instead. Goodnight, ami.

P.S. This morning, I've composed a text message for "her" but forgot to send it because I'm busy participating in the games and stuffs. It means I'm still thinking about her. Ami, do you know something about this?

Sourire!

Hey ami, I had a date with my dentist this morning and it turned out well i guess.

I had my regular dentin checkup and the dentist found out that there's something to be filled. It hurts when she accidentally hit the nerve of my dentine. It's really excruciating. The filling and cleaning lasted for about and hour and a half. Few talks and reminders then I'm off.

It rained all day and there's nothing new with it.  I felt the chill outside the clinic when the cool breeze hit my face together with some water droplets. Makes me want to have a cup of coffee or anything hot. I went to a nearby fast food to have my lunch but I still can't eat well because of the prickling pain from my dentine. I swear to not to eat too much sweets from now.

By the way  ami, I've got nothing to do a while ago so I look some pictures to vectorize. (sorry, ami for not writing a journal instead) After roaming around my hard disk and the Internet, I found something interesting to vectorize. It's "her" photo. (well, if you can't remember who's "her," kindly check the previous page)

You want to see it,  ami? Ok, here it is:

Oh no! I put her name in the photo!

It's been a while since I had my vectoring practice so please bear with it. Is this still a sign that I'm still thinking about her? So, what could you say about it, ami? 

Mignon petit sourire! — cute smile!                                                                                                                                    -ami

 I hope she'll see this. Fingers crossed again. :)

In my head

It rained the whole day, ami. I bet you haven't figured out 'coz you're just an online journal.


A while ago, we had our first band practice and I think it turned out to be fine. I guess. Aside from the band thingy, there's this thing bugging me off since last night. I just can't take it of my mind and I guess it's too exaggerated for me to think about her eventually. Can somebody tell me whether it's a sign or something?


Though I like to re-link her Facebook account here, (yes, she has Facebook account and don't bother asking 'coz I won't tell) I can't because she might know eventually that I posted something about her here in my blog. While typing this journal entry, I'm also waiting for her to go online tonight. Fingers crossed that she goes online any time now.


And oh ami, if you're wondering how she looks like, imma show her to you:

How's this, ami?

Just don't tell her I posted her photo here, Please!

Differential Equation's a joke

Yeah ami, it's really a joke. 


How does dx over dy equals to y prime? Don't ask me 'coz heck I don't know how that herpderp happened.


I really need to get back on my Differential Calculus course way back sometime ago or else you'll know what'll happen. Sigh

Herp

Derp.

Congratulations, De La Salle for 100 years of existence and excellence.
For producing globally-competitive individuals, thumbs up to you, St. La Salle!

Animo La Salle!

Looks like it's nerfed out

Surprisingly, the moth heads toward a dark path.. leaving the well-lit lamp behind.

Call it irony, ami.

Happy Independence Day, Philippines

Congratulations, Philippines for being independent for the past 113 years.
Maligayang Araw ng Kalayaan!

Herp derp.

Well ami, I'm really getting nerfed out researching for Thesis-related things. I wish you could help instead of being just an online journal.


..nah, I guess you're better that way.


Probably more after the jump. Bye!


Laurent

Unlucky-slash-lucky day.

Hello ami, how's your day?

Lemme tell you what happened to me this day if you would care to listen. Yet I know you can't do anything.

I woke up early this morning feeling dizzy with a pinch of hangover. It's like killing me. My head feels real heavy as well as the rain. Chills. To cut it short, I went home to prepare for Thesis Proposal Defense. After quite some time, a happy face for me and my group mates having our topic approved. It's like I'm still smiling 'til now with that. Honestly.

T'was really unlucky for me to having my umbrella left at home with this kind of weather. One thing in mind: Stranded. But luckily, I saw someone from few blocks across our place getting in his car. Lucky me I got a free hitch home, yet really wet.

I guess it's enough for now, ami. 'til next time!

Laurent

Flush

Hey ami, what's up? I'm here to molest your page again. Too bad you can't do anything about it.


Well, I played a classic Filipino card game a while ago with some friends and I guess it's not my lucky day. Sigh.

On ambitions

Hi again, ami.  Let's see what I can start with.. how 'bout a little background history?

According to what my birth certificate says, I was born on February 7th of the year 1990.  My name isn't that common at all, yet I kinda wish I got a more grandiose or sexy name, but hell, you're just my damn journal right now and not a legendary someone so I guess we're just even tonight.

When I was a young kid, I could retain memories pretty well, so I still know most things that happened back on the day I took my first steps. I still remember how I fell at the stairs one night—it wasn't pretty.

Roughly two years after forming kiddie dreams such as becoming a dinosaur when I turn 23, I wanted to become a priest and an astronaut, maybe both. I thought priests weren't paid for a lot and becoming an astronaut was too unachievable a dream as only really smart kids can wear those suits to space. Then, 'cause my mom was a nurse once, came my discovery of a stethoscope lying in one of those little toolboxes mom used to have. I then wanted to be a nurse. Yup, I knew how to spell 'stethoscope' before I could spell 'ball'.

Then came coloring books. Those were awesome, I spent lots of time coloring pages with turtles and frogs. I liked frogs and turtles a lot. I wanted my house in the future to be painted in this turtle-y green shade with some accents of white. So upon realizing that I enjoyed making my little masterpieces, I asked mom if I colored them pages nicely and if my drawings are pretty OK. All she said was “continue doing that, you're doing a good job” or something like that. That day, I told her that I'm gonna be a painter when I grow up.

I guess I caught your interest already, ami. This kid wanted to be a painter! Hell yeah. I spent summer with lots of coloring books, crayons, watercolor and pastel stuff handed to me by mom. For my first assignment, I had to color a realistic bowl of fruits. I remember spending too much time on coloring those grapes and trying to give them value by painting each piece with purple color. I got scolded for doing so.

I'm guessing this is long enough for an entry here in your pages. 'Til next time!

Esprit ouvert

Stop confining and confusing oneself with nonsense thoughts. Be open-minded.

Right, ami?

Untitled

"A heart folded in half resembles a teardrop."

Developing crab mentality.

Recently came up grabbing each other in a "king of the hill" competition and prevent them from escaping.


Now ami,  define inequality. 

Horribly Apologetic.

I still keep on trolling, ami.


Learning from mistakes but haven't applied recently.
Keep on doing same mistakes over and over again.

Writing is like doodling

I draw when I draw. You might be writing when you're writing,
but I'm just drawing when I do. I wish I could think of something to write about.
