how was the midterm activity? was it as difficult as you thought? and you were all so worried. hahaha! (",)

ched mandates 138 units for a business administration degree; ateneo requires 221! can someone check my numbers? :)

hard rain, dead birds falling from the sky, dead fish washing up ashore. sounds like scenes from "the seventh sign", a childhood favorite.

the culture of corruption has come to cityville. if you're going to cheat anyway, why play at all? (",)

if i paid 18,000+ pesos for 9 units, i'd expect, at least, a classroom that's vacant, airconditioned, and fit for a master's course.

my milo has gone as cold as a kitten's nose as i silently smoulder in righteous rage. (the ehem! effect)

butterflies in my stomach. gigantic ones. and they're struggling to fly their way up and out.

"i am very fond of sunsets. come, let us go look at a sunset now."

...

"one day," you said to me, "i saw the sunset 44 times!"

and a little later you added, "you know--one loves the sunset, when one is sad..."

i sense a change in the air. to be honest, i've been sensing it for quite a while. almost three years now to be almost precise. but i have been, typically, ignoring it. procrastinating, holding my breath, waiting for a brighter sunrise with tomorrow's dawn, seeking satisfaction in a school's soul.

yet, maybe, just maybe, it is time to take a breath, a deep breath. to breathe in, to inhale the change, change that can energize the lungs and waken the soul. to breathe in the realization that i have done all that i can do. to acknowledge that things are as they are and that things will remain as they are. to declare that dissatisfaction leads to sadness. to say to myself, "it's been ten years; time to move on."

i need to breathe in or risk of suffocation. breathe in, not the cool and hope-filled smell of morning mist, but the tangy taste of twilight.
