back to the drawing board

hello hello! some things i wanna say before i ramble on

1.) Watched Lion King the Musical. Ok. I'll say 7/10? makes you feel nostalgic and tippie-toe happy, but vocals aren't that impressive. Hmmm... perhaps it's also because, well, those songs are like songs that we used to sing to when we were still proud wearing nothing but undies out in public, and people thought we were cute for doing so.

Hakuna Matata. Those were the days.

2.) On John Amaechi. Oh my golly. ex-NBA player comes out of the closet and admits he's gay. what's next? the HNBA? or GNBA? or whatever? man, and I always thought indulging in sports was a masculine thing. Really, is there anything in this world nowadays that is untainted by the rainbow revolution!?!?! Now there's people from pro football, baseball, and basketball who came out to admit their homosexuality. Up next, California Governor Arnie will come out of the closet and admit that he's actually a space monkey from a Russian exploratory mission long ago which explored the effects of excessive cosmic radiation on orangutans. Seriously, if there's anything that you find out to be an exclusively-male thing that exists, please tag it on my wall and I will consider joining. Why do you think I still haven't joined an a capella group out here yet?

3.) On politics. I don't know if you've heard of Sen. Barack Obama there in Singapore, but if you haven't, he's the potential first ever African-American President of the United States. Of course, Hillary Clinton is on the way, as well as Rudy Guliani. But I support Obama. Why? 'cos I'm from Manila, and I don't know how to vote. The guy looks convincing, I'll take it. Besides, who wants a Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton reign? Next thing you know, Dubya (as Georgie is affectionately called here) will push one of her daughters to run for Presidency. Oh yes, Hillary would become the first female President if she wins.

4.) On the weather. Well, golly gee. it's -12 deg celsius here. I look stupid everytime I walk to school, all covered up like a spring roll on steroids. Well, look on the bright side, cheekbones!

5.) On dorm life. I give up. 12 more weeks and I'm out of here. To those whom I have talked to recently and had the pleasure of listening to my latest ultra-traumatic experience, thank you for all the attempts of consolation, but I'm recovering now. I guess that was really the lowest point of my 5-month tenure here so far. But I'm recovering, as mentioned. Just keeping my focus on God. Thank you. Anyways, I'm planning to have my own room next year. Will cost more, but I'm sure it's something that I won't regret. Like jet skiing. Or going back to Singapore this summer.

6.) On crazy alarm clocks. I hate my alarm clock. It failed to ring twice yesterday, causing me to miss my essay writing conference, as well as almost miss my first ever class. But yeah, the track record still stands, no lectures missed. But yeah, 2 lectures would have to be sacrificed according to my schedule.

7.) On Valentine's Day. Coming up, no activity. Guess what, it's a Wednesday night. And my date will be a stack of essays lying on my bed waiting to be ravaged and caressed. How romantic.

8.) On Microeconomics. I regret downplaying the course as I did before. Honestly, this is nothing like i've ever seen before. It's all calculus and Lagrangians (yes choir people, that's Lagrange for you. remember him?) to determine Utility and Productivity functions. Interesting and mind-boggling at the same time.

9.) On my activities next weekend. what can I say? NBA All-Star Weekend!!! Vegas! which simply means I'll be stuck at home in front of the TV.

10.) Back to the gym I go! and my thighs aren't cooperating. 2 miles yesterday seemed a breeze, but man, the stairs up the 7th floor for my Ancient Israel lecture was a torture. Almost passed out. But yes. Cheekbones!

And there's the top 10 hits of the week.

to all them lovebirds out there, Happy Valentine's Day.

I'M OUT!!!
