i don't play tricks
It's past 12 midnight here, so Happy April Fools' Day? It's never been a big thing here, so I almost always don't notice the significance of the date.
Anyway, I'm back in the big, bad city! I kept telling my mom and my cousin who lives there now about how despite all the pollution and traffic, I still prefer being in the city. I like relaxing, but I need stimulation the moment I get bored or tired of something. Back there, I had no television, lack of people to talk to, and it was cold and rainy which made me sluggish and lazy that even if I brought books and my laptop and DVDs, I couldn't be arsed to open them.
And I'm sorry -- you can call me a divabitch, but one thing that added to my dislike of the place was the bathrooms. We stayed at my mom's childhood home, which stayed the same when she was still a kid, so everything's old. And I like my bathroom's without those dark mildew or grime or whatever you call them in between the tiles. They cleaned them, but I'm just...no. So not unless they renovate that entire place, I am so not going back there.
That said, I've been back since Monday, but I had some catching up to do -- in tennis (Miami Masters!), the World Figure Skating Championships that I missed (honestly, the ones I cared the most to see were Virtue/Moir), various offline stuff, and of course, my Spanish class.
I started another level yesterday, which means a new class and a new teacher. This one seems like I'm going to enjoy the class more and understand what's being taught because she isn't against using both English and Filipino to explain stuff. Still have to find out my grade from the last class though; hopefully it's still high. And I hope I get chosen as a volunteer for Día del Libro!
Other than that, I've also tried catching up on television shows. I'm glad Vampire Diaries is back and still dishing great plot twists (I hope they don't run out of good stuff); Mercy...Veronica is still annoying me, but Sonia's storyline is making me cringe and wrenching my heart at the same time; I confess have seen the entire first season of 10 Things I Hate About You, and despite declaring my hate for the possible sacrilege they would do to it, I sort of enjoyed it and have seen the first episode of the second season. Oh, and I'm trying to play catch up on Criminal Minds, except I've only finished the first season. Spencer Reid is so adorable (yes, Matthew Gray Gubler is hot) and I love the whole team, there's not a single person I dislike so far. Aaaaannnd there's still White Collar and Spartacus and Lie To Me.
Another random thing -- I've had nothing but rice today. I've never had rice in a while, and now I feel a little...heavy? Disgusted at deviating from my diet? I think I ate too much.
And now I leave you with this! I've friended a couple of people lately, and some of you have been in my flist for a while but I've somehow missed a few deets here and there -- I'd love to get to know you all! Please fill it out? ♥ Taken from timeofyoursong with some edits.
