post mortem

we broke up a week after that. nothing hysterical...just a desultory phonecall. I should probably be insulted...but can't muster enough angst. last I heard he's seeing someone else now. last I examined my life, I'm still single...and half-heartedly blogging about it. it's really quite depressing, isn't it?

continuation

it was the quietest ride home. we haven't been together long enough for me to tell if it was one of those comfortable silences....aw heck!!! it was damned uncomfortable... I was thinking "ohshitohshitohshit"

my muscles ached from sitting so still so I won't appear affected, except I probably looked constipated with the tension.

he turned on the radio. we both had nothing to say. I don't know what he was thinking, probably what he wanted for dinner. we really had nothing to say. let's just say that the 20-minute ride home took forever.

and in one of those scenes (which only happens in movies) the skies turned dark and lightning flashed in the distance....how fitting.

finally, we arrived at our house, I couldn't wait to get out of the car (haha, before the rain started to fall)...

him: so...about next week...?
(we were supposed to go to his friend's engagement party. what is it with getting married these days?)

me: yeah... I'll be ready. Pick me up at 2?

silence

him: yeah, about that...I was thinking maybe I should go alone...

me: oh!....okay....I really don't know anyone there anyway...
bitchy me screaming in my head: since when? since kanina? and what am I going to do with the dress I bought?!!!

rain was falling, more silence inside the car

me: look, I'd better get inside. text me when you get home. bye.
(thought about our usual goodbye kiss, but decided not to and rushed out of the car...didn't look back...hey, he didn't even wait for me to get inside the house like he usually does)

to be continued

the sun was shining, the sky and sea were blue, and there was a cool breeze to make the day just perfect.

I was lying on my lounger, trying to muddle my way through a difficult sudoku puzzle when he said:

"I think we should get married."

that made me sit up. I whipped off my overpriced roberto cavalli sunglasses and stared at my boyfriend of 1 month, 2 weeks, 5 days and 6 hours (I draw the line at counting minutes) and said in my usual eloquent way:

"huh?!"

and he said it again.

"I think we should get married."

ulap at kawit ng kuryente (clouds and power lines)

yet still more pink flowers

still more pink flowers

more pink flowers

pink flowers

another sunset

Marinduque cloudy sunset

this one was taken good friday 2006, also in marinduque...sky sure got cloudy didn't it? this is from the same spot as the other sunset photo

pictures for life

Nemo

I recently got into the habit of taking pictures with my phone...unfortunately, I have limited phone memory, and even more limited pc memory...so I'm releasing everything through this stupid blog...

every photo I will later upload was taken with a nokia 6170...I don't fancy myself as a photographer but some scenes are just to beautiful to pass...

anyway, this one was taken in subic, where I found nemo lurking in the aquarium

time to listen to the sunset

Marinduque sunset

I got tired of words... this photo taken last year with a 6170...sunset in marinduque

just two more months before I graduate...hehe

good news and bad news

the good news: one of my classes is already over, had the final exam last week
the bad news: don't feel like I did well in that exam

on the bright side, my schedule is considerably lighter without that subject.

received really good news yesterday, one that makes me want to study all the more...not! but it's nice to know that I'm not at the dregs of my class. hehe. now, if only I could just concentrate enough to finish my research.

spent sunday in tagaytay, food-tripping with college friends...there went my diet. whatever!

happy new year!!!

it's been quite a while since I last posted. had a great time with my two-week vacation and now in great denial over the start of classes. would love to stay in bed or at home, but have commitments...

cramming for an exam next week, and yes...I have another paper to finish...

but still happy new year everyone...35 weeks til my bar exam.
