12 june 2006

What a title, huh? I mean with something like that as a title, you’re bound to expect to read some malconcocted story about patriotism and the gung-ho-ness of people! Or perhaps something about newfound glories or epiphanies or anything closely related to the emancipation of the human soul from the chains of social drudgery! I mean, wow, “Independence Day”, those two words do a lot to someone, huh?

I do so love disappointing people.

I just wrote that title because June 12 just so happens to be “Independence Day” in the Philippines. No special reason. No hidden meanings.

Anyway, tomorrow marks the first day of school of my second chance at a college life. Armed with the resolution to “totally be a nerd”, I go off to wage this war on myself and prove my worth to myself. (what?!?!?)

Ha Ha. Of course it isn’t gonna be ALL that, I mean, I HAVE picked up a few things in the past 4 years that’ve made me less of a geek than I used to be (or so I’d like to think).

That’s not what’s bothering me. I can turn the whole veil of antisocialism on for 8 hours a day, I mean, when I get out of class, my friends’ll be there, right? Right.

Don’t you just love the technology these days? I mean, yesterday I tried to rip all my cds into mp3’s and when I opened Media Player, Lo and Behold! The track names were all there! (see? It PAYS to buy original CDs, or at least to burn from original CDs in my case, heheheheh…), okay okay, so this isn’t really cutting edge for almost all of you (you’re reading this on a BLOG, so of course you’re computer intelled!), but I just found the whole thing so convenient. Gone were the days of me trying to figure out what the hell the names of the tracks of the CD were because I lost the inlay and the artists decided not to label the CD itself. And yes, while most of you may argue that it’s not a hundred percent accurate and that some CDs just aren’t there, I’m not really in the mood for an argument, I just wanted to share this amazement.

So well, today I finally started replying to people who texted me. MANY APOLOGIES for not being able to reply sooner! I mean, I finally realized that I needed my phone for tomorrow (I HAVE been staying at home for the most of the later part of the summer vacation), so I charged it and YOWZA! The text messages kept pouring in! that AND I had about fifty unread messages in my inbox. Heheh… Sorry, guys, I’m just not a phone person… you know that.

So what have I been doing today? I’ve been soundtripping while ripping my CDs… Today’s playlist included Counting Crows (thank you to Pia and Melay for the tracks), Dream Theater - Metropolis Part 2 (thank you Akelle), and Tenacious D (thank you Chino and Boyong). And I took two two-hour naps (which I am seriously regretting coz I can’t seem to sleep now).

Oh my. It’s 11 PM.

Sadly, this post is not in real time since I ran out of Internet load… goddamn it. Boo hoo. I’ll probably get to post this on the 14^th, which is Alan’s birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUDE!

Anyway… Umm… Were you under the impression that I was going to write some more? Okay.

This post marks the decrease of the casual writing in this blog. The next entries will (hopefully) be similar in nature to the first few entries I made (retarded and semisensical). This is to keep in line with my original plan of creating something for, well, not for my bad parts, but for my good parts. …And I am so embarrassed with having to expose my eggheaded-ness on the net like this… Ha Ha.

I’m going to miss this, but it’s time to stop living in the hope of what “was” and “never was” (winkwink pia! You should know what I’m talking about! Ha ha ha… yes, you DID hit a sore nerve). God knows that was what prompted me to go ranting and ranting and ranting in this blog. I needed the release. I still do. Less intense, though. All personal adventures (or lack thereof) will go to the superplanx blog for the perusal of my manila friends. And so that they’ll finally post there!!! And it won’t be like this, it’s gonna be less tongue-in-cheek (gawd, I love that expression)

See? I managed to write something to rectify my use of the title! Hah!!

And I guess it’s off to school for me tomorrow!

(Pray for me, please?)
