| forgot to post yesterday so here it goes..
went to school. got there super early. like an hour before my class. haha. loser. i signed up for philo oral exams (blech). hope that goes well. it never does. hahaha. then i ended up going to the computer lab. forgot what i did. hahaha. then i went to class. i never really listen in that class because i sit at the back. which is like two classrooms away. hahaha. so i can't really hear anything anyway. ended up reading gossip girl and i finished it right as the bell rang. hahaha. interesting to find out about what happened before everything really happened. hehehe. then i got lunch and ate it. met up with cara to do our interviews. haha. i like talking about myself. really. hahaha. wish we could've gone on and on but she had meetings and i really wanted to go home. hehe.
so i went home. read her answers to the interview sheet. answered my interview sheet again because i felt like talking. haha. then ate dinner. went to sleep.
i have really boring days. i should be really stressed out by now but i just can't bring myself to be. haha. i have a test today and a paper to pass tomorrow. whoopee!

| need to vent. haha.
arrived in the philippines at around 5 something in the am. as soon as i got off the plane i started to get really hot. i thought it would be cold here still. oh well. at least i had the sense to put my coat in the luggage. immigration was a breeze as usual. it's only now that i notice how pathetic our immigration counters look. haha. then went off to get the luggage. i had to run after our bags because i didn't want to wait anymore. i also had to carry them off the conveyor belt even though there were two very able-bodied guys helping us out. ah well. got into the car. my dad opened the window at some point and i thought i was going to gag from the smell of smoke. haha. obviously not used to it anymore.
got home. had a really hard time carrying my bag up the staircase. unpacked. took a bath. went to the carpool terminal. went to school. went to the caf. bought a banana. ate the banana. went to the psyche room. read gossip girl (woohoo!). went to class. teacher looked stupid with his headband on. class ended. went to som mall. bought salad. went to hpair room. ate salad. read gq. sat on couch. read gossip girl. nikki called. talked to nikki. joined the meeting. got assigned to do stuff. meeting ended. got quizzed and quizzed kat. read more gossip girl. went to caf. bought water and fruits. went to hpair room. ate fruits. drank water. read gossip girl. went to the infirmary. temperature taken. given medicine. forgot to drink medicine. haha. went to class. no philo! firo-b assessment. optimist. mission impossible. something else. haha. control. inclusion. affection. "bonding" with reg and cara. went to carpool terminal. went home.
the end.
haha. got tamad when it came to the second paragraph. isn't it obvious? hahaha. i'll try posting everyday. wonder if i'll be happier. hehe. we'll see.

| i miss the good old days when me and my friends would have tons of fun just taking a bunch of pictures.
it's funny how i've amassed a litter of cameras.
the little blue one which you get free when you sign up for a bank account. i had to use actual film in this one. i remember chasing after my brother, trying to pull his pants down to take blackmail pictures of him. i did get some but my dad got really mad when he got them developed. haha.
the huge red one that looked like a toy. people were actually surprised to find out that it took real pictures. this too used film. my lola gave it to me because i asked for it as pasalubong when she went to the states. i expected a more mature looking one but really had lots of fun with it.
the pokemon one which had borders. i was completely addicted to pokemon back in gradeschool. memorizing the pokerap. having most of the vhs tapes (yes, vhs. haha.). collecting anything that had pokemon on it. including the camera. i had my first "barkada" then. we took pictures near the bookstore. posing as a group then one by one. haha.
the golden olympus one which actually belonged to my lola. it still used film but a fancier variety (advantix). i loved how the lens appeared when you slid the cover away. i was supposed to apply for a position in the school paper during high school as a photographer but chickened out at the last minute. i remember taking pictures of our outreach. i remember taking pictures at my ate's despedida party. at one point i broke this camera. i never told my lola that i did.
the pen-shaped digital one which took crappy pictures. i bought it at toys r' us and eventually returned it after a few days. i got really excited about it because it was my first digital camera. it doubled as a webcam. actually got some decent pictures from it. extremely entertaining. i took pictures of snow on it but it kept getting erased. haha.
the chunky kodak digital one that i got as a present one christmas/birthday. i felt so extremely proud that i owned one. i was probably the only one in my batch that had one at the time. it made me feel all grown up. i don't remember much about the pictures i took with it though. i broke this one at one point, too.
the really sleek mp3/video camera/camera one which i got another christmas/birthday. it really wasn't the one i was going for but it was the only one they had in stock. it was without a doubt the coolest thing i owned at the time. i remember listening to maroon 5 (songs about jane) and john mayer (room for squares) over and over again. the problem was that it took crappy pictures. the flash was over the top and the pictures were pixelated. my dad never let me forget that i should've gone for the other camera that had more megapixels.
and finally, the bulky but loaded with megapixels one which just broke down all of a sudden. another christmas/birthday gift that i was forced into (glad that i was.). it went with me to college. took a snapshot of my first college friends in my college surroundings. it was also there to take pictures of the friends i didn't go to college with. i even shot a few memorable videos with it. i had it with me during the happiest christmas of all. so many happy moments captured on a memory stick.
my life seems to evolve with the cameras i have. my personality matched that of my little friend encased in plastic/metal. i guess my life begun to crumble when my latest camera did. or at least when i stopped taking pictures. christmas/my birthday is just around the corner so i guess it's time for some changes. who am i going to be next?
i guess photography is a big part of me. dare i pursue it? or is this another crazy scheme because i saw that incredibly inspiring sony cybershot ad?

where to start? it's been so long since i committed my thoughts into tangible words. they always just used to be thoughts floating in my head. but now, i think it's about time for me to start writing again. it's always good to have a release.
i haven't been my self lately. or rather, i don't know who my true self really is now. i do know who i want to be. but it's not really possible to be that person right now. i feel like i'm not fit to live this life i'm leading. not because i can't and all that. but because i just really don't fit in. i wonder when i ever will. it's incredibly frustrating. oh well.
