drunken post

so 3 months and 10 days later, i lost a bet i had with myself. what did i lose? damn pride. i blame my iPod which i recently "lent" to my sister. ------------------------------------------------------------ why is it so good to drunk dial? i always have the urge to drunk dial (whenever i'm drunk, duh). however, i've never ever went through with it. i always chicken out about 10 seconds after i press the call button. so it's either i don't get connected at all, or i hang up after a ring or two. ------------------------------------------------------------ sigh, it's so sad that a lot of my friends are sad. and i've always been the type of person who never knows what to say. i wish to be the kind of person who'll be able to say the things people want and need to hear. i wish there's something more i can do than just listen. bleh... grown up life. "bakit ang mga kaibigan natin, sobrang adult-type na yung mga problema nila? ako, pang-teenybopper pa rin yung mga problema ko eh!" says jae. sometimes i feel like that too. oh but really, i'd rather have teenybopper-type of problems. ------------------------------------------------------------ i've been watching too much anime lately... slam dunk, kyou kara maoh, and now fruits basket. by doing so, i realized i like the silent-and-bit-cold-hearted-bordering-on-mean-but-must-be-at-least-cute type of guy. i.e. Rukawa of Slam Dunk or Yuki of Fruits Basket. i wish they exist in real life. and i wish i was back in high school. ------------------------------------------------------------ i'm hungry, and sleepy. so i now choose to sleep... zzz... good night, world! P.S. i'm leaving for Hong Kong on thursday. now i'm a bit excited. happy independence day everyone!

high school life, oh high school life...

early this week, i "re-watched" the anime, Azumanga Daioh. I've seen it about 4 years ago and i remember liking it back then. Azumanga Daioh is about the life of 6 high school girls who are... well, going through high school. It is very funny, very addicting and very catchy. i assure you that you'll fall in love with AT LEAST 3 of the main characters. anyway, after watching it again, i realized that i like it now more than i did before. watching the last episode (it only has 26 episodes) made me very sad. probably because i will miss watching it and i will miss the characters. but it is more because i realized how much i miss high school. their sports fest reminded me of our intramurals; that cheering competition and soccer game during senior year.. and the first time i played basketball back in freshman year where i always get the 3-second violation. their culture fest reminded me of the "linggo ng wika" days where we did "sabayang bigkas", "kundiman" and interpretative dance. It also made me miss that day in our 4th year, where we have to make a "live diorama". most of all, those group of friends reminded me of my girl friends from high school. each one different, each one great in their own way and each one i love. the "graduation" episode was funny, but left me with a heavy heart. watching it made me relive my own graduation day, and i remembered those old feelings i've long forgotten. well, these are things for sure: (1) until now, those 4 years in high school were still the best years of my life, and (2) Azumanga Daioh is my rediscovered favorite. whenever things get out of a hand, i'll watch it and relive the happiest days of my life.
