katips. peyups. iska.

im now in manila and these things knocked me in the head.

1. my sister's 19-inch monitor. suddenly, i felt my 17-inch monitor was TOO small. i surf the net using my sister's PC because unfortunately, im not rich enough to buy my own wireless device so that i could just surf upstairs. she has a folder full of dong bang shin ki, super junior, hello miss, im a cyborg, and all the korean (and japanese) videos you can name that consumes up to 40 gigabytes. but dang! her computer is still FAST! i want to reformat my computer as soon as possible. x_x

2. the oven... IS MANILA ITSELF! it's freaking hot here! lahi jud ang bukid... we had our orientation earlier and right after i got home, i slept immediately because i was freaking tired. and to think we really had nothing to do, somehow, the after-orientation at the UP theatre was boring and the heat was taking all of our energy.

3. mcdo nearby. everything else i need is in katipunan. national bookstore, 7 eleven, mini stop, shakey's, starbucks (not that i need coffee), cd-r king, bench fix, profiles, pc express, rustan's supermarket, mercury drug, yellow cab (but then again, i had to mention this one), laundry shop, internet cafe, etc. you would never have to go the mall. but then, it's unbearable to walk the whole katips. at least there's the tryke, which will take you anywhere in katipunan, only it's much more expensive than a jeepney ride to UP, i tell you.

4. the bisaya atmosphere. i noticed that tagalogs have this kind of "slangness." i hate talking in tagalog, but whenever i do, or i have to, i try to copy their "slangness" so they wouldn't be able to notice my bisdak accent. :p i fooled everyone here. haha.

5. midnight snacks with ailene and nina. ailene sleeps the earliest and nina sleeps the latest. sometimes, we would eat snacks in the sala, drink milk, watch little tv, and just chat. when the semester starts to become busy, midnight snacks would have to be put aside. :(

6. iska. mabuhay ang mga bagong iskolar ng bayan sa unibersidad ng pilipinas! haha. im also proud to say that the college of fine arts is celebrating its centennial this year, which makes me a centennial freshie. :p (trivia, the college of fine arts is the oldest unit in up. it's older by a year, so the university's centennial is in 2008.)

7. the feeling of freedom. ;)
