as always, i would like to start with the weather -- it's cooperating very well with the tingle of hallows and the holiday chill. nights start early, and the pitter-patter of raindrops just makes me want to fall into a mellow mood (popping that jazz cd right now). oh boy. i'm lounging my sembreak away (only then do i remind myself it's my 2nd to the last october vacation -- ever!) ...


my frequent abstinence from blogging can be attributed to many things -- 1) loss of time, 2) loss of words, 3) loss of energy. and here's the fourth one: Scrabble. ever since i installed that thing last week when i finally fixed my blacked-out PC (which was dead for 2 weeks), i couldn't help but play that game first every time i boot... and it never ends! brings back a lot of childhood memories where we'd put the letter tiles in a big coca-cola cup and now... where is that? anyhow, i'm addicted to scrabble and i'm not denying it. i've been trying to beat the computer in the tournament edition, and so far i've outsmarted Smart. i'm hell-bent to conquer!


i got my grades the other day... not so bad, but not so good either. (they were macabre, actually. my GPA is at an all-time low.) i'm happy enough that i passed and hit no 3s'. so, i shall forever resolve to study harder and break it again. ;)


what else is hot? Albert Arnold Gore, Jr. is a recepient of the Nobel Peace Prize! isn't that amazing? he didn't capture the presidency, but he's the hero now! (as opposed to that lame duck sitting on 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.) ... that brings me back to the time i was mega-gaga over Al and his 2000 campaign (he was still sexy then.) ... eventually he "lost", conceding the week after my birthday. i was so overwhelmed with emotion i wrote a long and winding fanmail addressed to his Tennessee home, telling him how much i admire and respect him, and that he needn't despair about the situation, because there are certainly a lot more things that he can accomplish (or words to that effect). look what's happening! kudos dear. :)


(psychedelic moment: before i have the chance to say this again, i also remembered during the heat of the race, a local radio station -- 103.5 klite, miss you badly -- had a talkback topic about the US election the night before, like predictions of who's going to win, so phone in and state your case. i grabbed the dialer and got through. i was panicking on what i'd say about Gore's plus points, when all i could mumble was "Gore's got a good environment record. You know, when Bush was governor of Texas, the state was named as one of the most polluted." i still have a record of the show somewhere around.)


(so it's also a coincidence that i was raving about Glorietta's apple pie -- of all places -- on my last post. maybe i really should make a run for those clairvoyants' money.)


roger lost to nalbandian, his fifth this year. (maybe next year, babe.) nicolas sarkozy finally quelched the divorce rumors. (i suppose this was all premeditated.) britney's always in the news (i hate your new video, and i don't want you!) ... and to top it all off, Albus Dumbledore is G-A-Y!!!!! one of my beloved HP characters has come out! my innocence is crushed! (i wonder how many others will reveal themselves... *evil laugh*)


i think it's about time i change my layout again. new beginnings...


... i would also like to say i've turned in a new 'do! curly tops =p

note to stupid hackers: you gave us a f**king headache when you bombarded us with a 1000+php bill for international calls! f**kheads creating stupid trojan dialers! you must die! and we disconnected our IDD, so you can't hurt us anymore... i think. =(

Libellés : college, life
