sad story

grabe affected pa rin ako sa ending ng Of Mice and Men...kakasad lng biruin mo patayin mosarili mo kaibigan...pero i think its justifiable kaysa nga naman sila curly pa ang makahuli kay leni at brutal na patayin. inisip ko din bakit hindi na lng cla tumakas siguro sawa na din si george...bakit kaya? naalala ko din ang green mile kinda similar...hmmm obsessive compulsive disorder daw ang sakit ni leni masisisi ba nila sya kung ganun nga sya hayyyyy siguro bukas malinaw na lahat sa akin masyado lng talaga akong affected

classcards

my classcards were dropped... so i have to go to our dreaded Student Affairs Office...and so i went...waste my 3 hours in the line waiting to be called by the arrogant student assistant. the dean who knows me becuase of my being a habitual absentee greeted me "ohh miss abaraham time for your monthly visit?" at the top of his lungs so everyone could hear it...i want to shrink and vanish or melt from where i stand but i greeted him back "good day sir" keeping my composure...he then, again in a loud voice assuring everyone could hear it, gave the ussual sermon...having memorized the lines i just bowed down and closed my eyes and when it is over i got out of the door covering my face
