i. second term
as far as i know, my classes start at 9.30. mylasalle is down so i can only hope that i'm right. isn't it just like the university to take the site offline when students need it most? anyway i want to do better this term. get myself back into the loop, so to speak. deep inside, i'm still feeling bad that i failed anmath. and i also feel bad because i know how shallow that is compared with some other problems i've been made aware of. so now i feel bad that i feel bad. such is life. in any case i can't fail comorga since i've already used up my allotted failure.
ii. bajista
is what i am now, now that renz has promoted [demoted?] me. i didn't turn down the opportunity because i want to determine whether or not i have more affinity for the bass than the guitar. i've always enjoyed playing riffs more than solos so what the hey. i just hope renz knows what he's doing. "for the band's sake," was it?
iii. paycheck
i started teaching again. i will regret this commitment in the long run but for now at least, i need the money. i used my first paycheck to buy a few shirts. that'll make trish happy at least. i bought three t-shirts, all black. hey, you can never have too many black shirts.
iv. games
i started diablo ii, final fantasy vii, and tomb raider: the last revalation anew. i know that sooner or later these games will as usual interfere with my studies but i can't cut them out of my regimen entirely - that would be inhuman. the key instead is to make sure i will pass despite finals being in the red.
v. a topic unrelated to the title
i caught a bit of the 2004 tonys. i'm actually a fan of the theatre, but more of comedy than either drama or musical. hugh jackman was hosting for some reason then he later won best male performance in a musical for his role in the boy from oz. after seeing the live performance, i have to admit he would've won for balls alone, playing the flamboyant songwriter peter allan [who died of aids - that should clue you in, if the word "flamboyant" didn't]. going back, i couldn't help but lament the lack of local easy-access theatre. considering that the filipino culture is so arts-oriented, it's a shame that we have limited opportunity to showcase our entertainment abilities to the masses. the same goes for the music industry. the government is overlooking a valuable source of both income and national pride. what a waste.
as i am typing out this last line, it's 2.30 in the morning. it just goes to show how serious i am about turning over a new leaf this term. some things never change; most refuse to. perhaps bloghopping has something to do with my insomnia. but i doubt it.
