FIRST MINUTE:

"blah...blah...blahh...."

SECOND-THIRD MINUTE:

*dead air*

FOURTH TO FIFTH MINUTE

"Magsalita ka naman.."
"Anong sasabihin ko sau?"
"Ewan ko, magkuwento ka lang."
"Anong ikukuwento ko sayo?"
"Kahit ano...tungkol sa debate mo...sa buhay mo...kahit ano."
"naman...wala akong makuwento eh."
"Mgbigay ka ng topic." "ikaw magbigay ng topic."
"ikaw kaya."

FEBRUARY 14

Valentine's day: Love is in the Air!

it was nice to see people running around looking for the ones that they love, giving them roses, chocolates, etc.

we too, the CYL 4 and the SCB officers were running around. we had this booth which sold roses and chocolates to celebrate the joyous occasion.

every fifteen minutes, you could see guys carrying roses and wooing their girls. a guy was asking his girl if she could be his prom date on the 24th. all these things happened starting at 9 in the morning to the late afternoon.

I got my own swig of these moments at 6:30 in the morning.

too early, you say?

well for me, it was perfect timing.

thanks for the card and the bracelet.

i appreciate them.


FEBRUARY 18

Econtention Debate finals: UP Economics building

That day, in itself is very taxing. but to add up to my agony, I had my monthly curse. dammit.

Janica's team [which included me as the whip], Gerald's team and Domeng's team met up early in the Palma hall to be able to register for the contest. but the darnest fact is that, the contest is not to be held in the Palma hall, but in the UP School of Economics, which was a 100+ meters away. so we had to walk and spoil our outfits just to reach the venue.

it was a curious thing that we were, in fact, too early. none of the UP debate society members nor our fellow contestants were there. we waited for 15 minutes before we were ushered inside the conference hall. and inside the conference hall, we had our butts frozen for another hour before we finally saw the other debaters. Then finally, before we knew it, the match-ups and the motions were being announced already.

Us vs. STC-MHCS.

To make the long [and painful] story short, we lost to them.

Gerald's team made it to the quarter finals.

Gerald-Monci-Yeye vs. STC-MHCS.

They also lost to them.

but nevertheless, at least we went that far.

Bitter? Nope.


FEBRUARY 20-22

Prom practices.

One word: nakakatamad.

Perk: No classes.

Well, that compensates for that lazy feeling.


FEBRUARY 23

Whole day prom practice.

9-10:30 pm

"Miles!"

"Ano?"

*the entity who said miles' name grabs her hands and wiggles them playfully into the air*

"Ano ba yan, ang kulit mo! Ano bang problema mo?"

*continues to wiggle miles' hands*
"wala lang!"

"wag kang makulit!" *miles breaks free from the entity*

*entity laughs*

"Miles!"

"Ano?"

*the entity puts his arms around miles' neck and pulls me near him*

"Date na kita sa prom bukas ah!"

"ano?"

"Date na kita sa prom bukas!"

"Loko to!"

"bat ba? Sige na, bilis!"

*miles takes entity's arm of her neck*

"ganto. Toss coin tau...pag heads, hindi, pag tails, oo."

"sige!"

*entity brings out a one peso coin, flips it into the air, catches it and turns around*

"ano lumabas?"

*shows coin to miles*
"tails! O yan! Tails!"

"nye, alang daya!"

"sige, let's let the floor decide nalang."

*entity flips the coin. Coin hits the ground. Both looks at the coin*

"tails! Tails oh!"

"nyek, heads kaya."

*entity stops*

"ay, heads nga."

*miles laughs*

"nagpaloko ka naman sakin, uto uto..."

"eh, heads eh...."

*miles laughs*
"sige na. kahit heads, sige na."
