To cheer myself up from the dump that I found myself in these past few days, I occupy myself with making a list of the things that I'll be doing once I get back home. So, the partial list, which is in no particular order, is as follows:
- watch plays! It's been ages. Ages! Well, in exachange I did get to watch more movies (thank you, pirates!) while I'm here but I'm still more of a theater-lover. And yes, Win, we're going to watch together. :)
- Boracay. For some reason, I've never been to Boracay. Ok, I give everyone permission to feel sorry for me. But that will all change soon. Mwahahahaha! Nuna, you're the chief organizer for this one.
- get together with different circles of friends:
- the high school bestfriends. Hint hint, sleepover at Virgie's new place! I feel that I need so much catching up to do. And speaking of Virge, we need to talk more about the clothing business. :D
- the college blockmates (although I have a feeling this will happen sometime after Cecille gets home too. When are you going home, Ces?)
- the lit majors. Katea usually organizes these things but the newly-wed Bob has generously volunteered to set one up when I get home. Now our job is to keep reminding her.
- the we screw people. Um, the surprise welcome party where I'm going to wear my red cheongsam, remember?
- Pikpakpeeps! A chance to finally see the Pikpakpeeps in person! Salcedo is a bit far but ok, ok, Saturday brunch. Someone has to send detailed instructions on how to get there though. Nuna and I, well, we're not very good at these things.
- Courtesy call
- Lit Dept, DLSU
- PCHS
- enroll in Mandarin and/or Spanish classes. I've been wanting to take Spanish classes since forever. I'll try to see if I can finally do it. As for Mandarin lessons, I think it would be such a waste if I just forget everything that I learned here. We'll see, we'll see.
- SM Valenzuela. Because it opened maybe a week after I left. And it's so close to home so I just have to have a go-see.
- SM Mall of Asia. Again, I was already out of the country when it opened and I'm very curious. Is it really the biggest mall in Asia? I cannot imagine how big it is. I get lost even in Megamall. And let's not even talk about Robinson's Galleria...
- hot oil treatment. My hair is so dry and damaged and ugly and I'll try to see if there's still any way that it can be salvaged.
- facial? I'm still thinking about this. Haven't had one for a long time and I'm starting to think that I don't really need one but then I remember that facials feel so good so I'm a bit torn about it. What I really need is a product that can minimize pores. If anyone knows of anything that's effective (and cheap, please!), tell me tell me and I'll be eternally grateful. Better yet, you can give it to me for Christmas. Or a homecoming present! Yeah, that sounds good!
- oh, and the thesis!
plays, here we come! :)
ReplyDeleteFacials feel good? :) Are you serious? I tried it once and I had only one thing in my mind towards the one administering the facials.... WHAT THE HELL DIDI I EVER DO TO YOU!?! :) Best torture I had in years... :)
See you when you get here Nuni :)
It is a bit painful, especially the first time, but it also feels good. It does! You should give it another try! Well now I know what kind of torture will work for you. *evil laughter
ReplyDeletehahahahaha, i finally see"and the thesis"
ReplyDeleteafterthought lang ang thesis? hellow?
ReplyDeleteHindi lang siya afterthought. Beforethought, middlethought, beforethebeforethought, middleofmiddlethought, aftertheafterthought... It's all I think about, actually. I'm going crazy!
ReplyDeleteyan din ang initial reaction ko. naunahan mo lang ako mag-sabi. hehe.
ReplyDeleteIn reality, that's the first thing on my mind. But I'm just feeling so bad that that seems to be the only thing that I do about it: think. Oh, and talk about it too. So I'm trying another tack which is not to talk about it too much. Maybe this'll work. But seriously, that's the primary goal when I get home. I'm going to lock myself in my room and eat, drink and breathe my thesis. And I'm a bit excited about this. I will not have a life though, whether cyber or real, but at the rate things are going, maybe that would be for the best.
ReplyDeleteVince, when you showed Doc Bau your first ever draft, how complete was it?
ang seryoso naman ng to do list mo. hehehe
ReplyDeleteSeryoso kasi akong tao. Naks! Hahaha!
ReplyDeleteI think I also need to do a general cleaning of my room when I get home. Plus an inventory of sorts of all the things I own. Then Nuna, can we have a garage sale please?
ReplyDeleteokay. i've got a ton of stuff that i need to get rid of.
