i'll be changing the blog skin next week. it's getting really old. just waiting for enough time.
alcohol and ice creami officially have a new favorite dessert spot,
cold rock in The Fort. the ice cream there's amazing and i'd like to recommend it everyone looking for a good, new dessert place [and cute order-takers. hehehe.]
the weird thing is, i had drunk quite a lot before dessert [with my family] so now my stomach's rumbling. rooaar. hehehehe.
anyway. ummmmmmmmmm.........
stressmidterms in math and long test in chem and quizzes galore next week. shoot. oh well. you know, not to be a prick or anything, it's just that doing well in highschool doesn't mean anything when you get to college. it's an entirely new playing field. and for the first time, i'm worried about passing. i've always been so sheltered in my old school, nice teachers giving you extra credit etc. but not here. i gotta do everything myself. and it's not that i'm complaining or anything, it's just that it'll take a little while to get used to it.
thank God i have an amazing block to hang out with and who are always there for support, for amusement, and for the general companionship. haaay.
IACthey cancelled our first barkada league game. Team Intense has yet to see action. but my other team, in the org league, Team Tira2Bang2 already has a win in its belt. hehehe. kahit bangko ako and practically have no use in the Tira2Bang2 team, it's alright, at least we won. basketball's fun.
Touch Of Gracethe other day, i was driving home. i was at the stoplight at the ortigas ave., edsa intersection. it was raining considerably hard. after some time, i eyed this little girl selling sampaguita garlands to each car. in the pouring rain. some people would buy, but most people wouldn't. it reached my heart that this little girl was still selling sampaguitas in the rain. so i reached in my pocket for a few coins that i had, opened my window when she got to the car and gave the coins to her. i closed the window and resumed listening to music as i waited for the red light to turn green so i could proceed home. a few minutes and a few notches increase of road rage later, i was still at the same spot. suddenly, there was a knock on my window. it was the same little girl. at first i wondered if she thought i could give her something more. but to my surprise, when i opened the window, this little girl, cold and wet and probably starving and worrying about where to sleep that night, gave me a garland of sampaguitas, smiled and walked away. it's weird. i think it's the first time i actually said "thank you" to a beggar whom i had just given alms to. it was a graceful moment. it made me wish i could have done something more.
gonna make a change for once in my lifegonna feel real good, gonna make a differencegonna make it right
the adventure ended at 9:47 PM
