It rained hard today. I have a one-hour class today but missed it again for the second meeting. I had to do a rush work again. I was so sleepy yesterday that I cannot remember how I end up in my bed this morning. The last time I remember was I was in the computer doing some Flash stuff for the rush project. I didn't make the project either until this morning. I figured my agent would be so pissed off because I promised to deliver it that evening. But man, I was out all day yesterday. 9AM I'm already at YLDA in San Lorenzo Village in Makati, and from afternoon until evening I was at school, in the library, closet & classroom.

Figuring I have to missed the class today, I still decided to go to school to at least finish off my enrollment by paying my tuition. Then I learned the check I got from a project bounced and therefore have no money to pay my tuition (The check should clear three days after deposit, my fault, I was supposed to encash it.) Day before that I was standing at the cashier booth paying only less than half of my fee therefore not being able to secure my classcards.

Then the rains came. It came hard. Late afternoon Kim and I went to see Batman Begins. Cool movie. This franchise of Batman movie return from the 'black' genre unlike the two former movies (Batman Forever & Batman and Robin). It was quite a long movie. I liked the story arc though not Christian Bale as Batman. He was too skinny I think. The mask he wore is not so good either though understandable since it was the first of its kind. Ken Watanabe appeared only at first, it was unfortunate since I like him very much also in The Last Samurai.

Everyday I am falling for this girl...

We did an impromptu trip with my male leaders (Me, Johan, Brznf, Lawrence & Jerald) last Sunday, since it was holiday the following Monday. We went to Tagaytay that Sunday, stayed in a cozy inn. The next day we stretched our creative imagination further and decided to go beaching in Nasugbu, Batangas. Definitely made male bonding there. On the way home we caught a flat tire. Good thing Johanssen knows how to change tires. Johanssen, one in my core group of youth leaders, is like McGyver, who knows almost every practical chore: changing tires, driving, cooking, starting a fire. We arrived in Manila 8:30PM.

I like impromptu trips once in a while. The adventure, the relationships that galvanize while on the road. You learn lots of things like marinating and changing tires.

Today is a busy day. I'm supposed to be in Makati at 9AM. Only had 3 hours of sleep due to a rush outsource project. At 9AM I'll be back at YLDA office to do in-house revision because the team will be leaving tomorrow for Cambodia. After lunch I'm heading off to school to finish my enrollment process and chill at the library to do some assigned book reading. Will be done 8PM. I so want to sleep now but I can't.

Tagaytay-Nasugbu Freaktrip

Just came home from Reuben Morgan's praise and worship concert. It was awesome and refreshing. From our church we were 30 more or less. And the crowds are so game that we kept on jumping to the beat everytime the songs are upbeat. What I loved the most was when he sang "Still", it was so powerful for me.

Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair by Pablo Neruda

Here at Starbucks in 6750 Makati. I came in early around 30 minutes ago. I have a meeting with my client at 10AM. For the past nine days with significant procrastination with regular intervals, I've been cramming to finish a multimedia project for YLDA. My client is off to Cambodia this Wednesday for their regional conference. And though the presentation should be ready by then, I'm so wanting to finish this project so I could take time to focus now on my studies.

I feel like a socialite hanging around here. The barista kept on calling the names of the customers who's waiting for their golden coffee. Such a nice feeling when your name is called isn't it? Across the table is a Korean. I think he is gay. He's got a little pink scarf going on inside his polo shirt. His name should be Khu, based on what is written on his iced coffee cup. 30 seconds after this moment he already went off.

Busy Days Are Here Again

Grabe, super busy. First week in class I was only able to attend my Tuesday class because of a pending work that was due Wednesday but until now I haven't finished. I'm meeting the client tomorrow in Makati for the first review. I haven't also finished my enrollment so I don't have my classcards with me. Tonight I left house at 6pm for band practice at church.

Tomorrow night is Reuben Morgan's concert in Araneta Coliseum. Looking forward to it.

What has happened to our nation? Jueteng hearings, wiretapping crimes, 2004 election cheating, destabilization plots. Let's pray for our nation. God is great and He is still in control. May God's will be done.

Still awake. Cramming at a rush multimedia presentation project due tomorrow. stil 40% complete. I'm sleepy but need to push myself.

Loved the Emirates Airline tagline: "When was the last time you did something for the first time?"

Today's my first class of the semester. I took three subjects: OT Survey Genesis to Esther, Hermenuetics and Theological Research. I still haven't finished enrolling, just the paying part so I don't have classcards yet. But nevertheless I still came to my OT class taught by Ma'am Marcia Anderson, who is also my adviser. I learned a lot the first class. So cool.

After class I dropped by Central AG to visit Ate Merla who vacationed from Iloilo. They said I gained weight. That's good. After coming from sickness and being portable for a month.

So busy today with work. Now comes the classes. I'm back to the old days.
