maghapong nakikipagtitigan sa hindi pumipikit ni nagpapakita ng antok na monitor ng computer...

maghapong inilalapat ang mga bigat ng dulo ng bawat daliri sa mga mumunting parisukat na pindutan ng keyboard...

maghapong tinititigan ang hindi mabilang na mga letrang bunga ng bawat pagtipa ng mga mabibigat na dulo ng daliri sa bawat mumunting parisukat na pindutan ng keyboard...

maghapong naghihintay sa anyaya ng pinto ng cr nang sa wakas ay magkaroon ng pagitan ang nag-iinit na pang-upo na matagal-tagal ring nalalapat sa hindi makapagreklamong upuan...

maghapong natututo, naiiyak, natatawa, nagkakainspirasyon sa mga kwento ng bawat may-ari ng maliliit na negosyong ginagabayan ng APFTI...

maghapong pagsusulat. maghapong pag-aaral. maghapong riyalisasyon ng mga kwento ng mga taong hindi ko kilala pero unti-unting nagiging parte ng aking buhay.

waaaahhh...i just discovered who my favorite singer is...it's FIONA APPLE!!! kahapon pa 'ko LSS sa 'across the universe' niya...then, i tried surfing the net kanina for more of her songs and i was truly amazed...i like those kind of songs, or that kind of voice... parang Tori Amos whom i like din talaga...

we have a new project in our practicum...we have to make new producer stories (short lang naman, for profile lang nila for the international food exhibit come May 18 sa world trade center). so our afternoon was occupied with the task of calling the companies' contact persons and conducting interviews with them OVER THE PHONE... yeah, kind of not-so-ordinary pero it was fun din naman. at least it wasn't that scary because we don't actually see the faces of our interviewees. but it was still hard to sound good given our unpreparedness...we also have to make monologues that will be presented in the world fair day...so, once again, i have to recall the playwriting principles that i learned in eng106...

the producer stories na we were working on since monday are still on hold... ang hahaba pa naman...

parang kahapon, nasa aklan pa rin ang bosses namin. it was excruciatingly quiet sa office. indeed a perfect time to do what we've got to do. i finished na the materials for brochure, monologues and producers' stories to go.

when i finished what i had to do with the brochure, i didn't know what else to do. i decided to browse my blogs archive and before i knew it, i was already reading each entry. it was fun, parang in an instant, i recalled the moments that triggered me to write on my blog. pero may entries na feeling ko ang corny-corny ko, tapos yung iba may topographical errors pa...asar!!!

haay, hindi daw nakatulog si leslie magdamag kagabi...sad!

waaahhh!!! may electric fan na kami...leslie brought a stand fan (take note: stand fan) all the way from binan! yeah, ganon kainit sa boarding house namin to trigger leslie to bring a STAND FAN, board jeepneys and a bus carrying that. pero i understand na for her, it was all worth it. i mean, ano ba naman ang pagbibitbit ng isang STAND FAN kung kapalit ay mapayapang pagtulog sa gabi? kahit siguro mindanao pa ang panggalingan, nothing would stop leslie from bringing that fan..

anyweiz, it's kinda sad here sa office. almost lahat ng tao were in Aklan for fiber festival. i wish andun din kami ni leslie...pero we have a lot of things to do naman and to finish...kaya namin toh!!!

you might wonder kung anong ginagawa ng mga practicumer na tulad namin sa ciudad kung wala namang sapat na pera para gumala.

So ano nga ba ang araw-araw na ginagawa namin ni leslie...

1. gumising around 6:30 or 7am ng umaga para maligo at mag-ayos ng sarili.

2. maglakad papunta sa office at dumaan kay ate na nagtitinda sa bakery para bumili ng almusal na usually composed of pandesal or pancit canton (o iba pang varieties ng noodles)

3. pagdating sa office, diretso sa kitchen para magkape, lutuin ang noodles na dala namin at mag-almusal.

4. pagkatapos ng almusal, go na sa cubicle, on ang computer (pc kay leslie, laptop sa kin) at magsulat ng mga kailangang sulatin

5. eksakto 12pm, lunch break na (!). punta na sa canteen ni kuya angeles (one block away sa office), mamimili ng pagkain at chibog na!

6. yosi pagkatapos kumain, mag-iintay ng 1pm at balik na sa office.

7. balik sa cubicle, at magta-type ulit.

8. at 5pm, uwi na sa parang oven naming room. (devoid of electric fan)

9. titiisin ang init at pipiliting magpahinga.

10. at around 7pm mag-iisip na kami kung saan kami magdi-dinner. (goal namin ni leslie na i-try ang iba-ibang kainan sa proj. 6 as in ibang kainan every two nights.)

11. pagkatapos kumain, diretso sa park across our place at tatambay doon until mga 9pm. (dito namin binubuo ang aming mga pangarap na gumimik at puntahan ang mga nagppracticum sa ccp.)

12. uwi na sa room, maliligo, at pipiliting makatulog. (again, devoid of electric fan.)

13. magpapaypay hanggang makatulog.

sana, may oven na air-conditioned.

waaahhhh!!! i just got to enter my blog now...teehee..

well, how i've been since the vacation started? i've been to bicol, naia (hinatid si mitz and her bro when they were going to thailand), Marinduque (where my father is running for a position in the municipal's council and has been asking me to help him with the campaign but i declined because of my practicum and so he's kind of nagtatampo right now) and here in quezon city, as a bedspacer at kuya popoy's place and a writer at APFTI (Advocate for Phil. Fair Trade, Inc.)

so far, it's fun. especially when we (leslie and i) are in the office, doing what we have to do and going to the park (located across kuya popoy's place) in the afternoon and cooking our lungs with sticks and sticks of cigarettes because of the unbearable boredom. That's what happens when you're just one ride from Sm north edsa but you don't have enough money to even window shop...

haay!!! life sucks. life is fun.
