Get Tipsy

There are what we call life's fleeting moments, when you wish that you were always tipsy and the world would be just exactly what you want it to be. Blurry, hazy-like and somewhat placid, everything would go weird as you try to stumble and find your way in that inevitable maze called love, well, just a word of advice: try to stay out of the light for Pete's sake, you don't wanna go there...You'd even wish that you couldn't snap back to reality and just be your normal, neurotic self with a workload of stuff to do, everything would be perfect and worry-free. I woke up this morning and today exemplifies just about it. Usually I would wake up grumpy and groaning, just savoring the minutes of shuteye left before I hit the cold, damp shower at four in the morning. Today, it just feels different. Beautiful morning. Great day to..uh, smile maybe? Hehe. Maybe smiling would actually work for me. For the first time, in the history of Niki-kind, I feel wanted. Haha, so here goes my first ever winning smile. What's up with that?

The three-day long weekend was fun for me, nuff said. I would not want to elaborate because I will keep on grinning stupidly in front of the screen. Oooh, and I got the Kitchie Nadal album na. Asteg-ninity! I was perfecting the chords of Wag na wag mo sanang sasabihin and it's like my LSS for this week. I so love Kitchie! So does Clifford, Gail and Marcus, she claims that she is Kitchie Nadal reinvented. So much. Hehe

It was fun at my internship at one of Manila's rural community health centers in Pandacan earlier today. Mary Muere and I were assigned to take the blood pressure of patients coming in. Funny I never seemed to be bothered by the throng of people coming in and out of the center as opposed to last week's distribution of tasks, where I was buried under heaps of patients' records as I try to call out their lastnames with out faltering its pronunciation and laughing so hard. Some were asking to check their blood pressure for like the nth time. Mary and I were having fun, after painstakingly explaining a whole load of health teachings we just sat and listen to our patients complain about their million and one daings about the stiffneck sa leeg or something, or try to be nurse-like and ask the people to line up. Bossy.Hehehe. We were so uber-kulit. Spent the whole bus ride home laughing at our funny Thank-God-for Jenlao jokes (Jenlao, the most virginal person that ever walked Niki-planet..hehehe) & a company of Bea's hilarious Knock, knock jokes.

Still, I'm smiling. Wouldn't you love to know why :)

Life...as we know it

Today I woke up with a halo around my head. Or so I thought. Have this Backstreetboys tune going on in my head and it won't stop. Kept on humming it on the way to school because I'll be enrolling for the second semester. Gah. It just goes to show that I am not my usual self today. Happier maybe. I don't know.Hehe. I've had a whole lot of stuff going on for me these past few weeks, hence, the site is still screwed up. I'll be updating soon, I promise.

Ever wish you could touch the sky? I do. I wanted to grab the clouds so badly and play with them. I don't know I just get that feeling of certainty and non-aloofness and just run with the wind. Maybe because for the first time in my life, I had made a decision- a decision to stay and have fun with my course. I am starting to love the school, the people, the lunchlady and everybody. I can't wait to see my room mates!Marcus Fremitus who will still be sharing a room with me, Irish, my uberly-kikay room mate, Gail and everyone. I'm moving in tomorrow, gah, I can't wait.

So what else is there to blog about. I have no rantings whatsoever on how I pathetically hate my life and stuff. Maybe I am contented. Oh, and it's the twins' 7th birthday today. Talked to mom, dad and the twins and Gerard last night. I really, really miss them. Sheikh Zayed died and they have a friggin' 20 day holiday. It's funny how I'd wish it had happened during my highschool days so that it would be really fun. Yeah, me and Gino were shocked to find out too. The old man is like really, really old. I wonder what would happen during National Day which was on the 2nd of December because they usually light up the whole country and post gazillion pictures of him. I admire the guy for investing a whole lot for the country. I love Abu Dhabi.
I wonder who would reign as president. Hmmm...
