Je suis tres fatigue
Annoying problems with our computer (especially the friggin' mouse) plus super busy-ness and laziness has kept me away from my blog from some time now. But anyways, i'm back!! Bear with me, this'll probably be long.
The past 2 weeks have been so...so....*insert word*. Unpredictable and really indescribable but in a good way, even though my brain's capacity to remember even the simplest or often-used words are lower than usual. Brain lag, much! All this memorizing of the history of India, Pyschology, reports and what-not's are making the rest of my brain lag behind for like,oh i dunno,....DAYS. Let's have a re-cap, shall we?
Friday
I only had one class which was at 1:30 pa, but i went to school at 8am to research for my Sociology and Anthropology paper proposal. Spent most of the time staring at the lines from the books and not actually processing what i was reading. A little more, and I would've fallen asleep with my eyes open. Spent the rest of the day walking around with some blockmates, waiting for 4:30 for AJMA's first general assembly which was also going to be a concert televised by Myx, only to find out that it was cancelled due to...er, problems.(Congratulate me, i have another org that i actually plan to be active in!) Soooo, i called to be picked up already but the car was still in makati, so it would probably get to me at around 5. Wrong-O! thanks to the rain, it took much longer than that. I sat and waited at the benches for an hour, so extremely close to falling asleep next to this highschooler. Luckily, i saw jill and found out it was the auditions pala for the newbie play, so i went up only to see the first 2 people audition before the car finally came. Ga-reeeeat. I got home at 7, rushed to finish my research proposal which i had to send to my teacher by that night, ate dinner, and at 9 my cousins and their "lady friends" came over for our monthly "cousininity", a.k.a. drinking session. Somewhere between sober and not so sober, i sneaked away from my cousins and headed for the computer to really finish my paper na. I had to get up at 5:30 the next day pa for NSTP, but I felt too shy to leave them too early. So i decided that when i got sleepy na, i would retire to go to bed. Uhhhh.... turns out that was around 2:30am. (kamusta naman ako?!)
Saturday
Woke up at 5:30 with my head feeling heavier than my bed. Pressured by our formator, i knew i had to hurry though because she said the jeep we'd take to go to the area left at exactly 7:15. I got to school at 7 sharp (halleluiah), and went to the corn fields where all the jeeps were,as instructed. Me, eya and justine didn't know exactly where to go, so we stayed where most of the people were on one side of the corn field. At 7:15, we started wondering why nothing was happening yet. Seeing that our beadle was still where we were and our formator nowhere to be found, we decided to look around for them. As we got to the other side of teh corn field, we saw 3 jeeps quietly exit the Ateneo. Yes. You guessed it. A whole lot of us were left by our jeeps. Good morning, starshine!! Some time later, 2 jeeps came back for us, but miss formator was mad as ever and really aggravated my already lousy feeling. when we finally got back to school, i decided to buy lunch, and as fate should have it, my order was the last to be cooked even though i was one of the firsts to order. I then decided to pass the time in the library, waiting and waiting and waiting. At 2:30, me and a couple of the Stages of Love cast went to Coffee Beanery in Banawe for a show. (the re-rerun of SoL). With my stomach and head reeling, an even tighter space and extreme nervousness, we performed for a not-so easy to please crowd. After was the cast party with the yummiest food ever, then finally went home at 9pm and slept for etermity. (or at least as long as i could).
Sunday
Woke up at 2pm (loooovely) to find out that we were watching Lady in the Water with my dad in Alabang. Despite the awfully dreary weather, i was just glad to finally get to see a movie again. During dinner, LA texts saying that her friend who watched Stages of Love before was asking for 3 of the couples for the Orange and Lemons video shoot for the next day and call time was at 4:30 am in Cubao. I actually planned to take a cab at 4 am to get there. How pathetic am I?? Luckily, the call time was moved to 7:30 am. The theme was 1950's, and, worried that I wouldn't be able to find anything, I stopped by my cousin's house to raid her closet. Got home at 11pm, tried to find a decent outfit and prepare other stuff, and ended up sleeping at 2. Here we go again...
Monday
Woke up at 6:30 am on a supposed holiday for all ateneans due to the feast of St. Ignatius. We rushed to get to Butter Diner in Araneta center in the early morning traffic and pre-Henry weather. Turns out almost the whole SoL cast was there, even though they only needed 3 couples. (bluereppers talaga,haha) So there we were, all dressed in the 1950's and stuff, with our heads feeling extremely heavy from the extreme lack of sleep. Hahaha i dowanna spoil the video, but it was really fun experiencing the whole thing! You get to see the life you'd have if you decide to get into the business. One of the girls doing our makeup (who also came from Ateneo....actually, a lot of the people there were from ateneo too!) hadn't slept for 48 hours. But that's teh reality of it all, and despite all that, it still seemed fun. Oh yeah, i realized that one of the directors was Ian Marasigan's older brother. No wonder he looked so familiar! Me and Mikey were contemplating pa if it really was his brother or not,hahaha. Anyhoo, there. It was a lot of fun but all seemed so hazy later on since I felt like i was i the state between asleep and awake, and couldn't really let it sink in. Looootsa fun though, watch out for the video! (Chiara, your shoes are now famous,hahaha. Thanks for lending them!) Oh and friends, sana hindi niyo ako itatakwil pag nakita niyo yung video, hahaha.
Haaaaay. The next days after that were pretty much the same in a sense that I still had to wake up early and do so much things with only half my brain functioning. The other half eventually refused to wake up. The coming weeks are pretty packed too, with our Sagala ng mga Sikat parade for Filipino 14 coming up in just 2 weeks, and us not having started the arc or anything. As for the neverending run of Stages of Love.... we'll be having another run on August 19 for Assumption College and Missy Maramara's English/Lit class. Teachers actually required their students to watch! hahaha. So that'll be the re-re-rerun. Then there's rumors of having another one in September since someone approached bluerep about it, and yet another next year for Valentine's day. Holy Bananas. I never thought SoL would be THAT big a hit (o.0)
Hay, well it's quarter to 11 and i've still much to do. And so begins my neverending cycle again of sleeping for just about 4 to 5 hours a day. What I would give for a time-stopper!!! ;p
"Who are YOU?' said the Caterpillar.
This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, `I--I hardly know, sir, just at present-- at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.''
