social-less

The upcoming exams (11 more to go as of today) had totally eaten up my time, my sleeping hours and my social life(?). Anyway, I still managed to sleep for at least eight hours a day (and damn you body system for sleeping much when you shouldn't be!) but swear, I am not, in any manner, freakin' happy about it.

Weekend. For the first time in weeks, I was able to celebrate a 3-day long weekend for my Mondays were always caught up in cheerdance practices and then it was followed by the MCB 1 Play, entitled Mikros, practices. So now, I am again back to our home, which unfortunately is not a conducive place to chill-ax. Our 15-year old residence is currently undergoing a renovation which left the entire space to be messy, dusty, and most of all NOISY. Imagine this: I was in the middle of my 5-minute power nap when suddenly ear-deafening noises were heard on my bedroom's CEILING! The only times I could study properly are lunch times (that's because the carpenters are busy feasting on their lunches) and night till dawn (when everyone else is asleep).

Saturday night. While I decided to take a break from memorizing botanical stuffy (andoecious, inflorescence, calyx, pistillate and many more - and oh, did you know that the Division Pinophyta consists of the thickest, largest, tallest and oldest trees in the world?! - I call them the BEST family.haha), anyway, let's go back to my story. There, I took a break from memorizing those weird at-least-3-syllabic-words, I heard voices which were so familiar to me. Noisy, screechy voices which were laughing and seems that it was under an intense, fun conversation. So, I checked out the window and saw that Ate Jaybee was already there.

I greeted her a belated Happy Birthday (she turned 20 something last Sept. 25). She gave out a thank you and suddenly ranted in front of me on how her brother ditched her at SM City Davao for his girlfriend. She kept on saying, "I really don't like here girlfriend na. It's not because galing siyang 'Pow-vei-duh', ganyan2x na siya. And take note, since late na si Jopet, nag-text ba naman ng 'tic-toc-tic-toc'?! The nerve?! Bantay lang iyan si Jopet, wala na siyang Christmas gift!" Well, uhm, just imagine those words had been said in less than 15 seconds, under a high-pitched tone of voice, standing up to a maximum volume, enough for neighbors three doors down could hear.

At least for a while, Ate Jaybee's company removed the anxieties I had been feeling. "Pagdating ko dito sa Davao, na-shock ko kay daghan na new buildings. Tas pag dating ko dito sa house niyo, I was like, wow, ito din oh!" Anyway, after two hours of listening to her Manila-life stories, I felt I need the need to go back to being botanical again but unfortunately, my energy were all combusted, so instead of continuing my study time, I slept (for the 4th time that day).

Anyway, I really have to move out of the laptop's and internet's periphery. These things always kept me out from doing the things that I'm supposed to do. Worst, after using the computer for about an hour, I feel sleepy. XET!
