Warning: Mangled train of thought ahead!

i am undoubtedly projecting the image of a whacked-out zombie (with bloodshot eyes and all) as i'm typing this. i have been awake since 3:40am, studying / outlining / squeezing all my decency. starting tomorrow will be our prelims midterms, aka Apocalypse. as of now, i'd like to call the pre-midterm stage Impending Doom. i'll be harangued with all sorts of quizzes (last-minute! *damn*) and The Exams for the next 10 days (technically 7, if you don't include the weekend). everything seems to crash right down huh? (there's no point in saying this but i won't be around... maybe until next thursday.) ... the reason why i woke up real early this morning is because i just had to finish all my other subjects (high school terms!) courses so i can take Acctg3 the whole Sunday (quiz on tuesday!). i feel so screwed.. and sleepy.

and by some strange coincidence, even the stars want me to straighten my priorities.

Daily horoscope for Sagittarius (by Astrology.com)
There will be a tough decision for you to make today -- are you going to do what you know you should do, or are you going to do what you want to do? Take a step back and look at potential problems that could develop if you take the easy route. The longer you delay doing the necessary work, the bigger these challenges will grow. The best attitude for you today is to focus on getting things over with. Tomorrow you'll have more flexibility to do what you want.

Bottom Line: The best tactic for you to take today is to just dive in and get things over with.

... so that's it. i plan to take a nap right after a quick breakfast, and on we go!

i wanted to babble more about the events of the week (yes there are!) but because of time constaints i won't be able to do so. all i want to say for now is that *drumroll* for the first time ever, i've won a set in a table tennis match! (13-11!) .. but still we'll be having PEs even with all those exams going on -- crap schedule! well, the Fed's starting the season this week and i wish him all the best ~ and hope he channels his powers to moi so i can win a match next time haha! ... good luck to all the exam-takers :)

i'd like to tease you with a remark from 2 friends:

"You look like Little Lulu."
*conjuring images of moi to make a comparison*

when i heard this the first time 2 years ago, i was nonchalant about it (came from a guy who was used to teasing me). but when i heard this from my seatmate sometime last month, i can't help but be amazed that these two unrelated people had the same exact observation. well, i like Little Lulu (it was my favorite cartoon on cable when i was a kid), and oh-kay, i'm chubby and silly (and cute). xp ... it's nice to hear these crazy comments ('coz nobody told me i look like 'Someone' -- but still [technically], not yet!), and i can't help but smile. =)

i seriously want to be a kid again.

Lover, You Should Have Come Over
(Jeff Buckley, Version: Jamie Cullum)

Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water
And maybe I'm too young to keep good love from going wrong
But tonight you're on my mind so you'll never know

I'm broken down and hungry for your love with no ways to feed it
Where are you tonight, you know how much I need it
Too young to hold on, and too old to break free and run

Sometimes a man gets carried away
When he feels like he should be having his fun
And he's much too blind to see the damage he's done
'Cause sometimes a man must awake to find that really, he has no one

So I'll wait for you... and I'll burn
Will I ever see your sweet return
Oh will I ever learn
Oh lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late

Lonely is the room, the bed is made, the open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one who dreams he had you with him
My body turns and yearns for a sleep that won't ever come

Sometimes a man gets carried away, when he feels like he should be having his fun
And he's much too blind to see the damage he's done
'Cause sometimes a man must awake to find that really, he has no one

So I'll wait for you... and I'll burn
Will I ever see your sweet return
Oh will I ever learn
Oh lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late

'Cause it's not too late

hello 2007! i'm slacking off my blogging duties for now... haven't posted a song in a long time! this is a great, great song that i re-discovered (that's my favorite pastime -- playing old records / cassettes / CDs) just this week when i played Jamie Cullum's Twentysomething LP. pity i didn't notice this the first time. (i'm looking for the original by Jeff Buckley... where is it?) ... beautiful piano, earnest lyrics. moved me to mountains. consider this my valentine's song or something...

promise an update next week. (hooray, no classes on tuesday! XD)
