A Gust of Inspiration

Midterms are over.

I sucked.

But anywawy.

So now I've got a little less work to do.

Sunday nights get me into this particular mood, I don't know what exactly, but it just gets me in a mood. So when I got home from dinner last night, inspiration hit me. It was late, but I just had to type! I finished at around 2 am. It's not much, but it's a start.

It's the beginnings of a really cheesy story.

The one I was supposed to write three months ago.

:+:SuPeRhErO sLaCkEr:+:

So now I have something to do for all you bored souls out there!

I've posted twice already. Start with the post titled Moment of Insanity and work your way up. :) Enjoy!

Bayad na ang Utang ng Pilipinas!

Sorry, pero nasa mood ako magtagalog ngayon. As it is, ang mga nagbabasa lang naman neto eh mga marunong magtagalog, so what's the point ng pagpapakahirap magtranslate ng mga saloobin ko sa Ingles? Hahaha! Papasa na ako ng Fil!

Well, anyway, ang title. Wala lang. Kasi may joke na tinaya raw ni Gloria ang buong budget ng Pinas kay Pacquiao, eh nanalo, kaya meron nang pambayad ng utang ang ating bansa!

Kung hindi nila bulsahin, diba.

Anyway, last week was hell week. But Last Friday was also the best day of my life. Ok, one of the best days. Wag mo nang itanong sa akin. Di ko rin naman sasabihin. Hahaha Eraserheads ba?

May nagbebenta ng aso, half labrador half spitz, babies ng doggy niya. 500 lang each. They're adorable! Bibili kami ng kuya ko, para may kasama si Dinggers The Pig Dog namin. Kaso takot nga kami eh, baka kasi kainin ni Dinggers yun puppies! Naisip nga namin ng kuya ko na ilabas yung rabbits sa cage, tapos testingin kung kakainin ba ni Ding yun rabbits. Wag. Sayang eh mahal yung rabbits! Onga pala, malaki na sila ngayon! They're twice their size na since I last posted about them here!

Onga pala, did I tell you that we now have a pair of parakeets? Ok, mahabang istorya. Kasi pumunta kami ng Megamall ng kuya ko para sa research ko. Eh napadaan kami sa pet shop. Nung tumitingin ako ng mga rabbit at hamster, nakita ko yung isang cage labeled MINI KANGAROO. Eh di super excited ako! 900 a pair, mura for a kangaroo! kaso wala kaming dalang pera nun, kaya babalikan nalang daw namin. Eh ilang bese na bumalik yung kuya ko dun kasi may binibili siyang parts ng computer or something. Tapos lagi raw niya dinadaanan yun mini kangaroo. Excited na siya sobra nung bumalik kaming dalawa. Ayan, kabulagan ba, sa dinami-daming beses niya bumalik at tiningnan yon, di niya napansin yung spelling. Ang nakalagay pala doon ay

MINI KANGGARO

Daga pala yon na mahaba lang yun buntot! Langhiya! Eh sa sobrang depressed niya, gusto nalang niya bumili ng whatever. Yung Husky sana diba, kasi 20,000 yata, kaya wag nalang. Eh turtle o mini lobster sana, kaso no fun, di sila lumalaki eh! Buti kung lumaki yun lobster tapos pwede kainin diba? So ayun. Umakyat nalang kami sa isa pang pet shop at bumili ng ibon. Pampabawas sama ng loob. Cute naman sila eh.

Sige, inaantok na ako.

Gulping Down Books

Wow, it's been weeks since I last posted. I guess I got caught up in... Well, I don't know exactly what I got caught up in.

Actually, since school started again last Jan 4, I've read four books. I just finished the fourth one awhile ago, and am currently started on the fifth one.

Four books in a week and a half? And that's a school week, mind you. I guess college life gives me more freedom to do these things. Back in high school, I get home and slump right into sleep. I only have time to read when I'm sitting on my throne in the bathroom. And it takes me a week or more to finish a single book. I read the Little Prince in more than a week. And it's a very thin book!

This is like, a life achievement for me. Haha! I'm finally going to be able to clear my UNREAD BOOKS CABINET.

Actually, I read three books that I'd just bought, and they prompted me to open the unread books cabinet door and nick one from there.

A friend told me that the Velvet series was Deveraux's best work, but I didn't really like romance novels that time, and I didn't have the money to buy one. So this Christmas, when spare cash unconsciously fell into my hands, I decided to spend them on an investment.

BOOKS!

So I saw this site and someone was selling second hand books. It's not as cheap as in Booksale, but it's in very good condition. So I bought the Velvet Series.Well, I actually bought a part of it. I still have two missing. I have Velvet Promise, Velvet Song and Velvet Angel. I still need Highland Velvet and The Black Lyon. I was skeptical at first, but when I read it, I got hooked, and so spent every waking minute and break time reading the three books.

And now, only after 2 weeks of holiday, I'm yet again low on cash. I wanna check Booksale first if they've got the ones I'm looking for 'cause they'll sell it in relatively lower prices, but if not, I'll buy from that site again. That girl has the complete collection of Jude Deveraux! My friend's ambition before was to have a complete collection of Jude's novels, but when we had a garage sale last summer, she sold some of her Jude books. Now, I think that's becoming my ambition already.

I had a dream that our house was going to be destroyed by a flood, maybe a tsunami or something, it involved high waters. And then we were packing to evacuate, and my dad said to just pack the essentials, so I had to sneak back into my room and pack my books into big duffel bags. I won't just stand there and see them ruined by water!

The fourth book I read was The Nanny by Melissa Nathan. I didn't like it at first, 'cause it was kind of boring and I didn't get it 'cause it's in British English and I'm used to American English. But still I stuck to it, as this was the way I started out with the best books ever, the Harry Potter Series. I remembered that I almost gave up in Chapter One in Book One 'cause I was bored outta my wits, but I've got nothing to do so I read on and...the rest is history.

The Nanny was pretty good, just not that good. But it managed to make me stay up and read it all night, so it's good enough. The "love story" was just blurry, it was there, but it wasn't clear. The nanny and the guy was always fighting, and I never really felt that they were falling for each other already. It kind of just happened. No climactic whatever. I guess there was one, but I didn't really feel it. But it was a nice read.

So now, I'm trying to read A Bend in the Road by Nicholas Sparks. I'm hoping this is as good as A Walk to Remember. I remember that I borrowed The Notebook from a friend and tried to read it and abandoned it after three tries that just got until page 8.

I'm hoping that by summer, half of the books in THE UNREAD BOOKS CABINET will be in the READ BOOKS CABINET already.

Argh!

Hay, it’s Sunday and we were supposed to go eat out today, but I wasn’t feeling up to it. I hate myself. It was so nice to hear the war ceased, and everybody was in high spirits today. I guess except me.

My dad came into my room and he was all smiling and happy and he asked me if I wanted to eat out tonight and what movies are showing because he wanted to watch a movie. I mean, I never heard my dad want to go out at night and watch a movie. The couple times we did, I think it was just because we wanted to and he was driving so he went along.

Why did I have to be so lazy not to go? When I heard that my mom also felt like staying home, I said I would too. My brother was excited of the prospect of going out and having his one meal (he’s fasting). But I didn’t go with them. I was feeling trashed awhile ago. I feel tired still, and my stomach won’t behave. It rumbles every minute. These past few days, my stomach’s not been very good.

I wish I felt well tonight. I wish we were all out tonight and having fun. I wish I’d gone with my dad and saw a movie. His life was hell for two days and it’s wonderful to see him smile and look forward to something and even want to go out, and then this is the time I feel sick. I hate myself!
