Carriedo Day
Well, okay, maybe it wasn't much of a date. :))
EJ accompanied me to Carriedo to get my NBI clearance today. I loved the rain, and commuting with him made it fun, despite getting mud and water all over our feet (or HIS feet. I was wearing sneakers). We took a jeep to Taft, and an LRT to Carriedo station. Puddles galore! But I missed being in Quiapo so much that I didn't mind. Getting an NBI clearance wasn't so bad. The place was airconditioned and weren't many people (either due to the rain or because it was already late in the afternoon). Afterwards, we ate tukneneng and kwek-kwek in our favorite stall near Hidalgo Street (and hoped not to get any form of disease from it haha). I met up with my dad after, while EJ made his way home.
I just remembered, my mom was watching Jackass yesterday and she was AMUSED. Dear God! Yeah, it's funny, but don't expect me to sit down through the whole show. She did. @_@
I was also looking for my original birth certificate last night, and I saw my mom and dad's transcripts. My mom was such a nerd! She was a Cum Laude in college and all her grades were 1-point-somethings (equivalent to 4.0 in DLSU) and her lowest was a 2.5. WTF. Well, she isn't so social, compared to my dad. She's quite shy around new people and my dad says she's the type who won't say a thing unless you approach her first. (So not me!) My dad on the other hand, changed schools thrice (first was in Cebu, second in Dipolog, and the one he graduated from was here in Manila). He then took Law after a few years. I asked my dad about this and he revealed that he actually took Nursing first (I can't imagine him being a nurse, really!) and changed his course when he changed schools. His failures were due to absences. Instead of going to class, he and his friends would drink. HAHAHAHA. Why the hell does that sound so familiar?! =)) I guess I'm a balanced child then. I got a bit of my mom and dad in me. More from my dad though. :))
