since i was on leave yesterday, today is officially my first day of work for the month... And guess what? i was 1 hour and 4 mins late. thank you very much.
i completed the first 4 days of the week with only about 2 hours sleep daily. though that was still better than my insomnia nights, at least, when you dont sleep because of insomnia, you were lying in bed trying to sleep instead of elsewhere wanting to sleep but cant because you havent reached your house yet.

we had a trip to quiapo yesterday. i took a leave to prepare for the contest but mom woke me up and told me to come with her and dad and go to quiapo. i told her i need to prepare for the contest but she bribed me with the promise of buying me a new pair of eyeglasses. eyeglasses are pricey so how can i refuse?
it took us forever to travel to the far off island of quiapo but it was worth it because you can buy glasses of better quality for less than half the price of the poor quality ones you can buy at some shops. even the ones available in major malls will be put to shame by the quality and price of the glasses in quiapo. so guys, i you can and if you need eyeglasses, try buying in quiapo. (nang aadvertise??! lol!)
in our favorite eyeglass shop, it only takes about 30 mins to have eyeglasses done. while waiting we had some food trip, shopping and of course, we passed by Quiapo Church too.
i found out that in quiapo, the exact same fancy pearl earrings ive been buying in palengke for 20 pesos per pair only cost 35 pesos... FOR 12 PAIRS!! somehow i felt cheated. i bought a dozen of medium ones (35 pesos/dozen) and a dozen of small ones (25 pesos/dozen) and a tabletful of fancy silver ones (36 pairs for 70 pesos arranged in an easy to display tablet rack --- about 2 pesos per pair). so i have new 60 pairs of earings when i only need 2.5 pairs (i have 5 ear pierce) for both ears. not very practical. and im fully aware that im actually allergic to fancy jewelries. As to what im going to do with these 60 pairs of earrings? i have no idea. lol.
we also bought the imfamous excellente ham. we are yet to eat it. i told mom that we should just eat it on sun so that kuya can taste it to. i wont be home on sunday, but maybe we can have it by dinner coz, id probably be home by then.

a few days back (wedneday), i club hopped in ma**life to practice for the contest. i remember jay saying something like "when club hopping no longer means tugs tugs..." in our world, club hopping means going to other tm club, to observe, deliver speech or whatever. for me, it sounds more fun than the tugs tugs type of club hopping. i wonder if that sounds workaholic.
g and mentor brought nerriah with them. she's the representative of their other club for the evaluation contest. she won for area 5(if im not mistaken) and she will be competing with me. ive always been the type who will join anything with an aim to win. but i never really see myself as someone competitive and one of the reasons for that is that i never really focus on the people im gonna compete with. i think that helps in making a more friendly environment in a competition.
nerriah was this sweet and mild mannered girl. it wasnt the first time ive met her. she club hopped in our club back when we had our club contest. i met her next at the area contest where i congratulated her when she won in her area. so this was the 3rd time. i think she's nice. im glad that g and mentor brought her along because for one, i had someone whom i can go to the cr with. lol. but she's such a darling. maybe we have been good friends in our past life because i really like her.
tomorrow's the contest. right now i feel neutral about this. maybe because im feeling the effect of coke zero in my stomach (oh, damn you, GERD, damn you!) and since i cant multitask, i cant really feel both sick and nervous at the same time. right now, the need to throw up overpowers the nervous feeling.
another thing is that g mentioned that if a contestant wins, whether his/her airfare to davao and entrance fee for midcon will be shouldered by the district or not depends on the director. if i win and found out that i have to shoulder any of the expenses, i might not be able to go (yes, i am that poor right now, T_T). that could complicate the situation. and i hate complicated things.. so i guess im ok with not winning if that's the case... although this too could be the coke zero effect. i dont know.
whatever happens, i think ill be taking g and mentor's advice this time. "enjoy lang"...

screening for Ricky Lee's script writing workshop on Sun. I dont have any idea on how the screening would go. it would have been more fun if yang can come too, but she cant. the day before that would be a long day with the contest and tita remy's birthday and all. mejo tinatamad ako.. but i guess im coming..
