The CSB Experience 3: Quaranteen

In the light of yesterday’s DLSU AH1N1 drama, CSB issued a statement stating that CSB remains flu-free (from swine flu that is…) and keeping it that way by taking “precautionary measures”. Despite that, classes on this side of Taft-Estrada-P.Ocampo resumed normally.

Despite the heavy downpour of rains, classes will continue as schedule for us college peeps. Awww…

I noticed several employees from the sanitary engineering department were wearing masks when I was in the SDA lobby waiting for an elevator. I didn’t mind at first til I also saw some students wearing facemasks as well. But it didn’t budge me until I went to the clinic to ask for some cough-cold medicine which I’ve been having for a couple of days now.

Don’t worry, it’s a seasonal thing that I always have whenever the season kicks in. ๐Ÿ˜›

Before leaving, they gave me a mask as a safety precaution. Weird yes, but since I do have qa cold, it doesn’t hurt if wearing a mask is necessary on such a stressful and rainy time. Hehehe.

Wearing a zipped up jacket to protect myself from the cold, I went to class with people staring at me, surprise as if I’m someone they have to avoid (which shouldn’t be really much of a case). I got “compliments” from friends and acquiantances, telling me that I look like a “doctor”, “scientist”, “serial killer” (well not much of that third one XD).

Sheena, Inna, Aje, and Alyssa also saw me while walking acorss the 11th floor hall. Their reaction was…jaw-dropping. Sorry, really can’t describe but you know the feeling, right?

Fashion statement? Hehehe…Good thing I wasn’t the only one.

However, laugh as we want to, this is nothing to laugh if the whole situation is increasingly becoming serious. I won’t be surprised that evenย  the CG Overdrive event in Singapore would be in jeopardy with all this hullabaloo. So let’s pray that things will turn out for the better.

The CSB Experience 3: Doppleganger

The first term started off a wee bit odd. Not because I had 3 days worth of morning classes but maybe I may be suffering from a case of mistaken identity.

Get this, I saw this really-but oddly familiar girl outside the SDA. I saw her from afar and basing from her hair, type of clothes she’s wearing and even her movements, I easily mistook her for some person I know from school. I yelled out her name and waved at her but to my utter surprise, she was actually someone else.

Nakakahiya!

Good thing no one else saw me doing that! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

It happened again a few days later. This time, nasa malapitan na kami!

Just coming out from a dismissed class, I was waiting for an elevator in the 11th floor SDA when a bunch of students came to ride one as well. One of them looks exactly the one person I knew and I was like less than a few meters away from here. I waved my ahnd and called out her name but…

She didn’t noticed…

I then realized that I made the mistake of mistaking a person for someone else… ๐Ÿ™

I apologized the girl for my odd behavior and she said that it was alright. I never felt this so relieved, saving myself from total embarassment!

Just hoping it won’t happen LOL!

Can’t believe I’m actually in one…

After going along the flow, I somehow got in…

Although it’s been a while since I actually took something new…

Practice starts on this Thursday and Friday at 8…

J Pics D40 Pics: Obando

I forgot to have these photos uploaded. They were taken last March and were in my hard drive untouched. Kinda reminded that I have to upload them after I saw Michael and Chenee’s pics during last week’s Obando fiesta. ๐Ÿ˜€

Nikko already posted some of the pics I took of him in his Multiply account, here are some more plus pictures of Obando and Arkong Bato.

The last time I’ve been in Obando’s town proper was way way back. I was I think about 5 or 6 years old at the time. I remember the church and the large parking area in front of it and not much of everything else.

So without further delay, here are the pics. Enjoy!

Wet Pillow

Looks like weekends are more of a slow day for me. Nothing much to do but to stay at home, watch some TV and do a little Facebooking here and there. But if nothing good is on nor if no interesting new entries have entered in my Multiply inbox, I have no choice but to give myself a good nap on a generally clear and sunny Saturday afternoon.

Which I did…

Taking some time off on getting back at lost sleep is one thing but the feeling of waking up at almost 6pm with your head feeling weird, eyes swollen and your pillow as wet as sweat could make me convince that wasting time making siesta is possibly not a good way of spending precious time instead of doing more productive things.

So maybe napping is not the best way to spend my weekends after-all and neither feeding my addiction on checking updates on my accounts in Facebook, Multiply, Twitter, Yahoo! Mail, etc. Probably by next week, I’d be more organized with all the things I do both at home and at school. I want to spend my time well and use what’s left of it succumbing to my vices but not as much as before (Hey, at least my vices are a lesser evil than having a vice in smoking and what-not! Hehehe).

And now I bid you adieu for now… XD

The Summer Experience 2: Looking Back…

Today’s the last day of summer vacation and tomorrow…Well tomorrow is definitely the must watch time of the year. not only is it about me entering my third year in college, this also marks the first time my youngest brother will step in CSB as a college freshman. How cool is that?

But really, I felt I spend my FIRST summer vacation quite well, considering last year I didn’t have a summer vacation at all, save for the last 2 weekdays left before school started last May 2008. I spent most of the summer then taking my advanced classes in Business Mathematics in order for me to catch up with my flowchart (which I intend to follow all throughout my stay).

I still have contact with at least two-three of my former classmates from that class, Doland (who I still have his YM), Raf (last time I’ve checked, he still has some last few units before graduating from SHRIM), and namesake named James. I pretty much still remember my old professors, Mr. Nocon (for lecture) and Mr. Santos (for lab), the former whom I recently bumped into yesterday.He didn’t changed much after the past year but he did grew out a small mustache however.

Looking abck, I just can’t belief it’s been another year passed, a summer spent doing something othert than about school (for once!). I’ve been through a lot like 1)going to Ilocos, 2)accompanying my brother through his transition to CSB (and not UST as previously planned by him), 3)summer spring clean my own bedroom, 4)threw out most of my old stuff away, and 5)donated the rest to charity, etc.

I still have some things I’ve yet to take cared of with but I might have it done within the week or so. Nevertheless, it’s been on rainy hot summer!

PS: It seems I got a dead skin stuck on my face. My parent’s thought it’s some sort of a scar but utrns out it’s not. ๐Ÿ˜€

The Summer Experience 2: The Last Great Summer Adventure of 2009

Wallpaper of the Rhythm

I need to streamline some stuff from my bedroom so I decided to have some old books donated this ongoing book donation drive run by 99.5RT which I did last Monday May 18.

But I got more than what I bargained for. I met one of the station’s jocks, Sam Oh which I used to see on ETC’s “Rated Oh” and now QTV’s “True Confections”. How good was that?

Didn’t exactly noticed that she was still in the booth the moment I entered the station’s premises (her show ended half an hour later by the time I came in) and I was utmost speechless the moment I saw her sitting on the couch checking something on her Mac.

My jaw just dropped like…….. :O

I find her really, really nice. Not only that, she speaks Filipino like a true-blue Pinoy! Talk about being multilingual! ๐Ÿ˜€

I just couldn’t say anything else except maybe for a few words like “Sige po…ah..a-aalis na po ako.”

She was more than happy that I donated books since it’s all for a good cause. She and Slyde who was on deck at the time thanked me for the kind deed which I really I took it by heart.

Just can’t believe that summer’s ending. Tomorrow is back to reality, back to school.

But I’m not ending this season of TSE2 just yet! ๐Ÿ˜€
