Mostly because I like to save people time. Instead of posting something trivial everyday, I decided to accumulate them and create one big trivial post now. Well, actually, I don't know how that actually saves people time. Saves effort, though.
1. My one remaining Dragonfin, named Humphrey, died. I suspect the Koi mob he shares his tank with had something to do with it. They hog all the food and rasp at him all the time. I've been plotting against them for some time now, but I suppose fish know best when fishy things are happening, and they beat me to it. They left him torn and looking sad and neglected.
That night I dreamed about Humphrey. He was golden and fantastic and had these awesome feathers that glinted and shone as he swam around in a marvelous waterway that flowed up and over and through the house. I think that wherever he is, he is quite happy. Farewell.
2. The Smiling Machine Man gave me a book the other day. It was one I had been wanting to get my spindly hands on for a very, very long time. Not surprisingly, it is a Neil Gaiman creation. The Graveyard Book. It felt so special in my hands that I resisting finishing it off in one sitting. I managed to spread it out to three days :3 Felt like it was my birthday again, for three days in a row. The surprise was a very nice touch. Thank you, thank you, and thank you =D
3. I have discovered an island! Well, sort of. Long Island. It is full of rich foods that lavish the palate with flavor. Mostly pasta. Affordable too. It is somewhere behind the main library. If NISMED was my staple college food last year, now I believe it will be Long Island. I don't think I'll get tired of their Carbonara with Chicken for a long time. Just like how I munched on Pillows for about..two years in high school. I develop strange attachments.
4. On Monday there will be a rally against Ms GMA. Along Commonwealth. I wanted to watch the SONA (first one I'll be watching, supposedly) but Vanny asked if I would want to go to the rally instead, and I said yes. Now I'm not so sure. I read in the papers that they are mobilizing the military for crowd-control. And the picture showed a mock-rioter throwing rocks at the military men who were in a Spartan formation (was it Spartan? When they hold their shields up and look like a giant turtle?) Anyway, it was pretty pathetic. They don't need shields to protect them from civilians.
Also, someone once told me that: When you're afraid, that's when you know they're winning.
5. I love the library. You can read all you want and sleep all you want. And because libraries are found primarily in schools, transitively, I love my school. Unfortunately, I gave my ID to a fellow walking class student for safe keeping, and I forgot to take it back after class (we managed to finish before the cut-off time and I was so elated. My ID was quite forgotten). So now I can't enter libraries until I get it back, because the libraries are strict with things like that. I do not know my class mate's number, and the next time I'll be officially meeting with him is next next tuesday. When I realized that..I went:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
But only silently, because I was still in the jeep. Please, if you are out there, give it me back.
I beg of you.
6. Today when I was walking in the campus, I saw Ralph on the other side of the street. He is a friend I know from church. He wasn't facing me tho, but I thought it would be nice to say hi, since I don't see people from church outside of church very often. So as I crossed the street, I tripped over one of the deflectors that are good for cars (well, not really, they make the ride bumpy) and not good for pedestrians. There are trips that you can disguise and trips that you cannot. This might be classified under the latter. Fortunately, as I said, he wasn't facing me. And by the time he noticed I was approaching, I had already retained my poise.
PS. I didn't fall flat in my face or anything, I just..sort of...staggered and flailed my arms a bit, not unlike a distressed fowl.
End.
