I'm employed part-time at this "English Camp" for Korean kids right now. Work is surprisingly refreshing. Even if it is a bit tedious, it is nice to know that you are helping in the personal development of someone. I've had quite a number of students already. Many of them are already quite good in their English, they just need someone to talk to ( ( Read more... )

Jogging is so detoxifying. Should make more time for this.

I've been sort of binging on DVDs, but I kind of toned down since my room right now is under de-construction. they're bringing down a whole wall because it was infested with termites. Oh well, good thing I haven't painted my room yet. And when they finish, yey! Time to redecorate! New tables ( Read more... )

It was a decidedly busy for me, to say the least. Although I admit to saying goodbye to editing, I still had to edit for a few friends for old time's sake, not to mention a little extra money. Hope it's all going to change soon, though. I've been going around and applying to a few tutorial centers around the neighborhood. Yesterday, I went to one ( Read more... )

Sending and receiving postcards to random people around the world is fun, and thanks to postcrossing, I got the opportunity to send postcards to a lighthouse freak named Dean Koontz living in Florida, a mom who works in a theater in the Netherlands, an au pair in Munich, and a gay tourism student in Finland.

I also sent a postcard to a co-worker at ( Read more... )

It's been a crazy homecoming, going everywhere and hanging out with my friends. I went on a trip to Tagaytay with Vilma, Jeanne, Jomel and Arvin. It was crazy! Well, it started pretty laid back in Arvin's farm home, then got messy when we went to a pool resort in Laguna, where we had Lambanog to drink. Happening at the same time was a party for my ( Read more... )

Pet and I took a bus to some little town in Cavite where we met up with J, who is a local there. From there, we took another bus, and then a tricycle, to one of those smaller, secluded resorts.

The beach was actually beside a river delta, and what looked like murky river water flowed out of it to the ocean. The water was kind of cloudy and a bit ( Read more... )

Right now, I don't know. I feel like I'm lost, like I don't know why I returned here in the first place. School seems trivial even though I know I need to finish it; I've only got a year left. I hate it; I don't know what I want; I don't have any plans in life in general, I just go with the flow usually and now I'm faced with all these decisions ( Read more... )

N hasn't been replying to my emails for the past few weeks. Perhaps he has moved on. Oh well, it was foolish of me to think that he would wait for me until I come back in two years ( Read more... )

I had lunch last week with Vilma, Jeanne and Jomel at Friuli. I missed these people, and I missed this place. I miss foodtripping around UP in general. I was glad to be with these guys again. They all gave me an overdue birthday present, a purple shirt with a young Vilma Santos. They were in between classes so I drove them back to UP after our ( Read more... )

Back at the Thesis defense in UP, Pet brought along J, a friend that she and I met during Khavn's shoot, "3 Days of Darkness". She invited me to go with him as he judged a local student film festival contest. The films were promising, to say the least, and it was pretty cool watching the future of filmmaking amble by, just as you used to back when ( Read more... )
