ministop's MENUto meal

...is the saddest meal i've ever eaten.

it's dry.
it's bland.
the meat is tough (i got the tapsilog).
rice is not cooked well.
it's just not enough for P40.

i've eaten instant rice meals before, but this is the worst i've eaten so far.

I'm a C-!

I need to travel more. Maybe Visayas. Or Mindanao. Or maybe I'll finish the whole of Luzon first.
Anyway, I'm not sure of the location I went to in Palawan. All I remember is that the guide told us the island is very near to China Sea (?). Maybe not. But I clearly remember it was close to something international. Haha.


My Lakbayan grade is C-!

How much of the Philippines have you visited? Find out at Lakbayan!

it runs in the family...

I wasn't really surprised when i read this.

I loved Sylvia Plath before. Well, I still love her. Her poems can really strike a dagger deep into one's heart. The same thing can be said for her novel, Bell Jar. It was really really painful to read it. Parang gusto ko magpatiwakal pagkatapos ko mabasa.

I didn't feel the same though when I watched the film Sylvia. Honestly, I didn't think Gwyneth gave justice to her character. Maybe it was because she didn't look depressed and enough. She didn't also look the literary type. Haha.

Sayang lang wala nang magmamana ng pagka-depress nila...

nakakalito ang mundo

i've decided to leave this blog free of any personal ads. i think i've tried at least four times setting up a multiply account for my book selling thing. finally, i've managed to set up a decent one.

this is my empire.

TODAY IS ONE OF THE HAPPIEST DAYS OF MY LIFE...

i passed my comprehensive exams!

our department chair has just sent us an email a few hours ago saying "this is to inform you that passed all your compre exams." yeah!!!

i've never felt so nervous opening an email before. when naomi told me that sibayan already sent us an email, my heart started pounding and beating so fast. i was really trembling as i was opening my email. but it's all over now. and i'm just relieved we both passed.

this means, i can now proceed with my portfolio. this means, i am one step away from finishing my masters. this means, i'm one step away to getting out of la salle!!! before i enrolled for the compre, i was thinking of taking a break for one term. i'm glad i didnt. it would have been a longer nightmare for me to spend another term studying.

oh god. it feels so good letting everybody know i passed the exams. imagine, i had to sit in front of a computer (in the department office none the less) for six hours. the following day, i realized that there were still a lot of things i forgot to include in my answers. that's why i'm so happy that i passed.

i'll deal with the draft of my 20-page paper maybe after my trip to korea... :) i hope what melvin said was true...that everything's falling into its place :)
