unlike last year more clothes than toys turned up this year. mostly little girls’ dresses and skirts and blouses that are so pretty i almost wanted to keep them for myself just to look at hehehehe ang kukyut kasi. i threw in 50 pieces of each: toothbrush, tooth paste, bath soap, notebook, box of crayons, and pencil and eraser that i got from the 100 yen shop. i also made pakyaw their marked-down goods that consist of small toys and coloring books and munchies like choco cookies, bubble gum, biscuits, candy bars, rice crackers, at kunganu-anopa.
sana matuwa sila.
One of the many things I and L really enjoy doing together is stargazing. Maybe because of his background in Physics, and my fascination obsession with Greek Mythology.
We actually became officially steady when he asked me to go stargazing one balmy night at the Malibu Beach. I had been overly stressed one day because of school when he showed up at my door. He asked me if he could interest me in going to the beach because there would be a meteor showers that night; and the beach is the best place to be for something like that; and he thought I might enjoy it. Without a second thought I jumped at the idea. We got to the beach around midnight, he opened the trunk of his car and took out a large vinyl mat which he spread flat on the sand and made me sit on it. Then he went back to the car and took out four plastic shopping bags from Vons and emptied their contents out on the vinyl mat. In front of me must have been 10 large bags of potato chips in different flavors, 3 bags of popcorn, 4 canisters of Planter’s CheezeBalls and Cheetos, 2 bags of Apple Chips, and 1-pound box of GummyBears - they’re all my favorite junk food. He also brought Calistoga Fruit-Juice drinks that I really liked then. I thought nothing could have been a more perfect date than that: eating all the junk food I love while counting shooting stars with a perfect gentleman that I’m beginning to really like and trust. Siguro kaya nagustuhan nya rin ako kasi I was such a “cheap” date.
During my last semester in college I stayed in Sampaguita dorm primarily because I wanted to go to the UP Observatory, which is just a few minutes walk up a hill right behind the dorm, everynight so I could use their telescope. I also spent many a night and a considerable amount of time sitting at the dorm’s garden just to look at the night skies. And until now I still know the names and can pinpoint all the planets and constellations visible to the naked eye. An obsession it is. Or, maybe, a friend of mine is right: just like my case studies in the distant past, I’m also autistic.
my 12 year-old tennis shoes fell apart habang hinahanap si holmes c. nung isang gabing madilim malapit sa taniman ng mga repolyo. poetry.
me: tang in a ‘pre, sayang, sana tinamaan na rin ng bomba at nadedo yung lahat ng ganid na miyembro ng kongreso at senado para mabawasan man lang ng masasamang tao sa mundo ‘no?
pre: kahit na yung tatay nung isang kaibigan natin?
me: mas lalunayun!

caused by methane gas after the congresmen were served kamote-Q
instead of turon (both at the same price of P2,000 each). All
congressmen farted simultaneously while in session which caused the
build-up of the gas inside the plenary hall. It was unfortunate that
a congressman and a driver lit up their cigarettes outside the
building, while another opened the halls door to escape the sweet
ethereal smell causing the explosion. After the explosion, the
majority bloc passed a bill to restrict kamote-Q inside the congress
perimeter and have turon instead. The new cost of turon is P3,000
each to pay for added security. Opposition congressmen filed an
amendment to the bill, as they wanted gulaman-and-sago to go with the
turon, an additional P500 per serving.

I tried to find Him on the Christian cross, but He was not there; I went to the temple of the Hindus and to the old pagodas, but I could not find a trace of Him anywhere. I searched on the mountains and in the valleys, but neither in the heights nor in the depths was I able to find Him. I went to the Kaaba in Mecca, but He was not there either. I questioned the scholars and philosophers, but He was beyond their understanding. I then looked into my heart, and it was there where He dwelled that I saw Him; He was nowhere else to be found.
- Jalaluddin Rumi, poet and mystic (1207-1273)
