Missing them

I had a hard time getting up this morning. Seeing that I didn't have any class in the morning, I didn't bother to get up early like I usually do. While lying there on my bed, I realized that I needed to change my sheets. It's been two weeks since I last changed sheets. I brought these sheets home from Los Banos. Maple leaves are the only ornaments to the sheets, and they are orange. Weird. I've stayed in Los Banos for three years and staying in a place that long makes you miss it once you leave it. Leaving it was harder. Not because of the dirty kitchen of the dormitory nor of the two dysfunctional televisions. Not even the sudden ring of the phone at around 1:30 a.m. when I am in a deep slumber. But I do miss the food there. I do miss cooking there. I miss the freedom park there which has always been my inspiration to free myself of the flabs around my waist. I miss Adobo, no, not the adobo. Adobo is the adopted dog of the International House Residence Hall. When our guard can't seem to fight the urge to doze off (he seems to be lethargic, always) Adobo was always there playing guard and he seems to be doing one helluva job, mostof the time outdoing our real guard (Kuya, peace)! I miss the lager! That's one of the nicest things you can find in a dormitory full of graduate students, lager is breath, lager is life! And most of all, I miss them. They have been my family away from home. I miss you guys. I promise to finish my thesis so I will be forced to go there and see you guys and cook for you. Love you all!

Satti

My friends and I went to the canteen for some snack. Then I saw it there on display then all efforts to resist it has suddenly become futile! It's called Satti. I think this is a Malaysian/Indonesian delicacy. Though I am not sure of its origin, I love this treat anyway! It's hot and it's great! It's red and I love pink (huh?). That's barbecued beef bits on the sticks and that's rice seemingly floating on the scrumptious red hot sauce! You should try it...You can either go to Malaysia or Indonesia. But you can come visit Zamboanga City. And for those who live in Metro Manila, you can go to UP Diliman, I believe there's a place there where Satti is available. The owner even came here to Zamboanga City to check out this delectable treat. Jimmy's serves the best Satti here in Asia's Latin City!

Just saying...

I was watching UKG in ABS this morning and there was news about private employees who won't be receiving any bonus this Christmas. And some are already ranting about this!
It's almost Christmas, it's gonna be October this coming Monday! I am working in a private company too, and believe it or not, we only receive PhP1,500 for a bonus! How is that!
I guess I just have to be thankful right? The bonus is not mandatory any way, but the 13th month pay is! I mean, no one is gonna give you 1,500 these days for free! Do I sound like I'm trying to convince myself that I'm ok with this? :D

Boring!

It's 11 a.m. and I haven't started reading Art. 14 of the RPC. We have a recitation this afternoon (as always). Last time we met for this class, our Prof, Judge Elumba, called my name out (I was the one who was called for recitation that day). And he asked me if I've seen a naked lady before. ANd I said "Of course not!" and he asked if I said "yuck!" My recitation went well. But I can't say the same for this afternoon's recitation! I haven't memorized the 20 aggravating circumstances yet! well, I've got 5 hours to do that! I told you this is a boring day! I'm relating to you guys stuff about school!
I have to grab that book now... :D

Juliet's Romeo

i confess to the stars
what once upon shakespeare's wit
juliet evinced to the nightingale
her love both innocent and erudite
to the one Providence warranted her
Romeo
Romeo is hers and she is his
But this one Romeo
This Romeo is mine NOT.
