travel, love, romance, academe, and all random shit of a former UP teacher
This holiday has to be the happiest.
Dec 18: Quezon City. went to LTO Quezon Ave to get a student license, for fun, with the help of a fixer friend. no birth certificate, no drug test, no driving skills, I got the license in an hour.
Dec 19: rode Star City’s roller coaster and went to the snowland or something, for free, in preparation for the next day’s TOEFL (Test of Englishh Fluency). But my “brain warm up” wasn’t enough so friends and I went to Dencio’s in Harbour Square for two rounds (I just discovered Super Dry’s rich promises mmm).
Dec 20: took the taxi from Roxas Blvd to Commonwealth at 3am, slept from 4 to 6am, ate breakfast in McDo at 8:15, before the 8:30 exam in Cubao. was bored during the listening and speaking tests. almost fell asleep during the reading comprehension and writing part. took off after lunch and slept the rest of the afternoon. woke to have dinner in Kenny Roger’s with Mike’s family.
Dec 21-25: Laguna. wasted money for gifts and grocery. cooked pasta while Mike cooked something-complicated-that-can’t-be-named for us.
Dec 26: brought youngest brother to three hospitals for appendicitis-turned-UTI emergency, till we reached the hospital several steps away from home, and confined him there.
Dec 27: took care of my young sister’s baby and the entire household while papa’s in Mindoro, mama’s in the hospital, my sister’s in Eastwood, and my boyfriend right by my side.
Dec 28: begged the person in the Billing Section to give me discounts, so after hearing my drama, 3k was removed from the hospital bill.
Dec 28-31: dvd marathon with the brothers and boyfriend.
Dec 30: endured Ang Panday at SM cinema to get free Enchanted Kingdom tix (I live around the Kingdom!)
Jan 1: Papa arrived with his sisters who were building a 3-storey resthouse complete with a swimming pool in Mindoro, I was told. (How come I don’t know this, Roan?)
Jan 3: went to EK (after visiting Tito Derek and Tita Gnet’s new baby) and was shocked to see the entire country inside! After one ride, one hotdog, UTI-inducing fries, donut, and sugar disguised as chocolate bar, Mike and I decided to leave, buy wine at WalterMart, and watch more dvds with the boys, until the dvd player was oversexed.
Jan 4: Papa was so drunk in his spree with Mike and me, I had to command him like he’s a kid.
Jan 5: Quezon City. eat all you can at Delta,Timog-West.
Jan 6: elbi. slept in the bus before 8:30 am class.
I have a feeling woohoo that this year’s gonna be a good year, that this year’s gonna be a good good year.
