If there is one thing I hate about Ateneo, it is its inconsideration to students who come from the provinces. Case in point: Christmas break. In the academic calendar released months ago, it stated that Christmas break starts on December 21. But voila! An e-mail containing a recent memorandum written by the lovely Vice President of Loyola Schools said that the break starts on December 22 (I checked ateneo.edu, and it indeed starts on December 22). F**k you Cuyegkeng! I already booked for my flight. To make matters worse, flights for December 22 (and possibly December 23 and 24) are fully booked (and how about the other people from the provinces who already booked their flights?!). What do you want me to do? Be stranded in Manila for Christmas? If I have the power to bomb your house, I'd truly bomb it!
Gahd! I'd just hope no long tests are scheduled on December 21 (Accounting, please don't be scheduled on that day). I will really have to cut on that day. I have no choice because of a late memorandum sent by an a*****e VP. If I could only wring her neck right now

Lingaw ... masuya lang ang masuya XP
Lingaw. That's what I can describe the Tinago outing today. Sure there were only nine of us who went (me, Kara, Jade, Dahl, Maan who wore a bikini, Sheryl Lyn, Vinn aka our driver, Ian, Martin). We don't care because we had FUN. Nine was just a good number of people that could fit in the van that Vinn brought. It's a good thing that I decided to go to Tinago with them. I was feeling really lazy the day before. Too bad this blog post is my only documentation of the event. But I'll probably steal pictures from Kara, Shai and Martin XD
The day started out slow. I was the first to arrive at the meeting place even though I was moving more slowly than usual while I was in my house. Jade and Kara followed shortly. We waited 2-3 hours for the other people to arrive (*ehem*Ian*ehem*Shai*ehem*). So we bought lechon manok, eating utensils, and drinks. When we were complete, we headed to Tinago (but we had to stop by to buy 2 additional lechon manok, rice/puso, and to pick Dahl and Ma-an at Tominobo).
The fun started at Tinago. After descending ~500 steps (according to wikipedia), we reached Tinago Falls. Since it was lunch time when we arrived (see how late we were? the call time was 8 AM), we ate the food we bought. After that, we went to the cold waters of the lagoon. We swam a little before we decided to ride the bamboo raft to reach the falls (and we rode it a few more times after that ;P). We reached the falls and felt the heavy (and a bit painful) patter of the water. We swam again. Went back to the falls area to go through it and sit under the falls. We had pictures taken (special mention to the vain people: Ian, Shai, Martin). We formed a circle. Some of us (including me) learned how to dive a little. We swam again. We finished off the leftover food. We went to the falls area. Basically, that's what we did when we were there. We acted like we were the ones who were entirely new to Tinago Falls (even if we are pure-bred Iliganons). It was really fun. The only ugly part was when we had to ascend the ~500 steps so that we could go home. I'd love to be there and do these things with my friends all over again (except for the stairs part o_O).
The last time I went to Tinago Falls was way back in grade school. I just swam in the lagoon with my cousins. It was still fun. But the fun today is definitely better.
Happenings like this make me sad of the fact that I have to return to Manila.

sluggish
It's the middle of the sembreak and I feel lazy.
Tomorrow, my HS friends are planning to go to Tinago Falls. It's been years since I went to that place. And yet I feel so lazy to go outside of my house, be with my friends & eat with them, swim & visit Tinago Falls, and have some more bonding time with them. I was looking forward to this outing a few days ago. Now that feeling has dissipated. The 8 AM call time doesn't help either. I hate waking up early. Especially during breaks.
Until now, I still can't decide whether I'll go or not.
To go or not to go?

hungry
After reading a blog post and some comments about siomai... I am hungry. Damn you Marnelle and Dyl for talking about food. I want to eat siomai from JY Dimsum and meat bread from Lady Luck Bakeshop... *drool*
It's great that I get to eat home-cooked meals at home. But there are no snacks available when I want to eat something at any moment. I think it's because only my father is around since my mother is somewhere in the Philippines because of her work. My father is not like my mother who always brings something edible when she gets home. So what do I do to relieve my hunger? I eat peanut butter or Milo. Good thing there's ice cream in the fridge today (and it was not my father who bought it). However, I don't like to brush my teeth and use mouthwash again. I am still hungry even if there's food available right now.
All this talk about food reminds me of the "food trip" later. I didn't even know that lots of food are available at Children's Park in Iligan. I prefer going to the city proper and eat at Zoey's and JY Dimsum.
Hungry...
*edit: maybe the unavailability of food is all for the best... after all, I still have to attend Kyna's debut

Sembreak 07
Sembreak so far:
- visited (and will still visit) my high school campus
- finished season 1 of "How I Met YOur Mother"
- finished watching the Fushigi Yugi series (52 episodes!)
- watched Disturbia
- watched anything on TV (even a documentary about Atlantis O_o)
- read a tenth of Don Quixote
- swam at the local pool with high school friends
- went to the dentist for my teeth
- mindlessly surfed the internet
- successfully enlisted
- SLEEPING whenever I want to sleep
- eating home-cooked meals
Things coming up:
- Tinago Falls outing (?)
- more bonding with high school friends
- Kyna's debut
- more sleeping
- more eating
I know it's boring in Iligan. It has no malls, coffee shops or even McDonald's (but hey, we have Jollibee). Still, nothing beats the comfort of home. I don't want to return to the fast-paced life of Manila!
