adventure

i usually don't teach on mondays, wednesdays, or friday, since my classes end at 6pm on those days. if i start late, i'll naturally end late, and the ayala jeeps stop making their rounds by 8. i usually take either a taxi or a guadalupe jeepney, but the former is an unnecessary expense while the latter adds thirty minutes to my travel time.

today i discovered an alternative - motorcycles.

a few enterprising individuals have started shuttling people to and from global city via ayala. it's a refreshing experience, actually, with the wind in your hair, and a white-knuckle grip on the saddle rear. really gets the adrenaline flowing.

my mother somehow or the other got wind that i'd picked acousticg* for my leap. our conversation went something like this:

mother: why are you taking that class?
self: because i'm already familiar with it.
mother: no, why are you taking it?
self: i'll find some pretty girl and help her.
mother: no, no. what's the reason you're taking it?
self: i'll pretend not to know and let some pretty girl help me.
mother: you're not answering my question - why are you taking that class?
self: why not? they don't care what i attend as long as i sign attendance.
mother: ah, there's attendance. i was wondering why you weren't just staying home.

not that i'm lazy; i merely have an alternative priority algorithm. take for example, the extreme tenacity with which i managed to record that ms limoanco pronounced the word pivot as "PIE·vot" exactly 37 times today.

acousticg: "learn how to play chords and read tab".

actually the real reason i'm taking this class is that i clicked on "sign up" before i read the description. i'd thought it was a free jam, and dlsu has a no return, no exchange leap policy.
