Calm Before the Storm

Brand new layout! Yey!^_^ The theme's "Harbor" so I guess it fits my blog. My entries are just like the waves. . . different each time they hit the shore. (I hope.)

Truth be told, the layout was inspired by my dear friend Felisa's blog, who now resides happily in Washington. :) I miss you, girl! I'll be reading your blog regularly, thanks for the link! ^_^

One of my closest friends' debut is coming and she's invited me to be one of her eighteen candles. Awww.. ::sniff::sniff:: Thanks, Gladz! I wish you all the best! :)

Now, onto my previous "weekend":

I don't know what came over me (and I really would love it if the feeling would stay), but I just started feeling inspired and driven to do and finish all my schoolwork/homework. It was great! I got a spot downstairs where everything was quiet and just did what was supposed to be done! Notecards, Lab Manual hw, studying for the objective quiz of Glass Menagerie (which by the way, was postponed again), and reading some of Botany Lec. Heehee. All I really had to worry about was topics for Fil because we really didn't have a theme until later. Bummer, really, but we got through it.

While I was on my way home last Friday, we saw a kid being ridden in a jeepney toward the hospital because he fell from the actual jeepney carrying him. . . his face was all bloodied up and a part of his head had swelled, they said. I couldn't really bring myslef to look, even if I was capable of it. Ironically and frighteningly, I was just thinking of one of the topic proposals of my classmate in Fil entitled "Ang Unggoy" and it was about kids who liked to hang on at the edge of the jeepney entryway ("sabit"). When we were discussing it in class, everyone was laughing their heads of off the title. Shivers went down my spine.

It's funny how something funny for another person can be so horrifying to another.

I'm saying it's a calm before the storm because from tomorrow up until Gladz's debut on Feb. 9, my mini-calendar (courtesy of EK) is packed with activities, deadlines, and exams.

Oh dear.
