How Is Your Antiquity?

Here we recollect how I hated my Achilles heel, the Engineering Drawing Subject.

In fact, if it be the very scale for placing humans in a certain heirarchy, I think I can be at the bottom of that.

Professor in ES 100: Okay, row 1, submit your plates. I want to check them now. 
I'm a member of that row, and I was the first one to get to his table.
Professor in ES 100: Turn it to page 1-5.
Me: Sir, here it is.
He looks at the work in a way that would make me think of him coming up with an impossible, unbelievable judgment.
Professor in ES 100: A milimeter blot, a wrong curve, and, did I tell you slant Gothic letters? It was straight Gothic! Look at your guidelines, they are too thick. Practice lettering.
He places his signature on the work and grades 40 in it.


What the--? A 40? I spent two hours of the night for that single plate and a 40 'deserved' my work? Im not from the ancient time! How is a civilized work for a 40?

New Love??

Katext ko si John Edward for more or less three months na. Simula nung una pa lang kaming magkatext nakaramdam na ako na nagpaparamdam siya sa akin. Sabi niya, ang sarap ko daw katext, at ako lang daw ang nakakatext niya ng sobrang frequent for the past year. By the way, sa PR ko rin nakilala itong si John.

Kinilig si aketch. Wahaha.

About a month ago, lagi na siyang may "mwuah" sa mga texts. Natatawa ako sa sarili ko, because I dunno if its an indication of something. Para kaming pseudo-boyfriends.

Natutuwa na ako sa threads ng texts namin at gusto ko lang i-share. lolz

Oo, hahalikan kita pag nagkita tayo. Wahaha. :D Talandi. Dahil birthday mo bukas. :)


Nung isang araw naman, nagchat pa kami at c2c (oi, hindi to bastos ah. wholesome akez. NEVER pa akong nakipagjakol sa cam choz!) at wala lang, kinilig lang ako, di pa kami nagkikita at bukod sa pics ay first time ko siya makita na gumagalaw. Naks naman.

Haha, unsolicited screenshot! :)

Paepal na PS lang. May nanliligaw sa akin, three months na rin. Nung last weeks nung last semester, lagi niya ako sinusundo sa school. Tawagin natin siya sa codename na Carboi.

Napaka-generous nitong si Carboi. Binibigyan niya ako ng chocolates, food, at kung anik anik na treat. Nung unang araw namin na magkita, nag-dinner kami sa Tiendesitas and right after that pumunta kami sa Banapple sa Katips tapos Bo's. Lahat libre niya pati drive home.

Anyway. Okay naman sa panlasa ko itong si Carboi. Maputi siya at may braces at professional type. Mas maliit nga lang saken ng kaunti. Pero ayoko sa kanya. Kasi may gusto na akong iba. At yun ay si John. Kahit walang something na binibigay sa akin si John ay mas mahal ko siya Ate Charing. Mayaman itong si Carboi ngunit tama nga sila, hindi mo kayang bilhin at i-impersonate ang tunay na pagmamahal..

Lately ay nagbakasyon sa SG itong si Carboi at bumili pa ng iPad 2. He already. Siya na! Gusto ko sanang hiritan, sana binilhan mo rin ako. Because I know, bibilhan niya talaga ako. Kaya ko sinasabi dahil dapat ay kasama ako sa trip na yun. Pero hindi ko tinanggap ang tickets right after na...

Nasabi ko na kay Carboi na kuya lang talaga ang tingin ko sa knya ngunit hindi niya ito tinatanggap at lalo pa siyang nagpaparamdam sa mga texts like, I complete him daw chorva. Pyutchang kinamis! Hindi ko keri ang magpaasa ng tao pero di ko na alam ang gagawin ko para maidispatcha na siya.

Basta ang alam ko ay special ang pagtingin ko kay John and I wish na may mapuntahan ang relationship namin...

Of Storms in Friendships

I just don't buy the idea that YOU are planting these allegations over my alive-and-very-much-effin'-horny self. Apparently, YOU have no idea of what this boulder of circumstance is all about. You are my best friend for seven years now.

Oh! By the way for Heaven's sake, you never really got anything right. My PR account never had face pictures to boot. I only had pictures of my tummy and the infamous abdominal muscles with the crazy horny tattoo like that one on my Microbiograph's image. But you are accusing me of something outrageous and ridiculous. You never saw me there. You are my best friend for seven years now.

It was like a Dungbomb dropped at Dolores Umbridge's office that your sexuality has been compromised over Facebook by this out gay guy whom we've known for the same number of years. I guess I know the reason. I have been witness to how you adored my body and gave me an indecent proposal of topping you at your place via a message on my PR account. I was indeed looking for a good f*ck at that time but I was disgusted of what I discovered. The message you sent me contained two of your half-upper body shots with your face proudly smiling at the heck on the camera. I WAS SHOCKED, that I didn't open my account for 9 days just to avoid your second and third messages without me replying to the first and second.

It was a no-brainer, there was no mistaking, it was YOU. You are my best friend for seven years now.

I never did anything to compel you, to make you know that I already discovered your dirty little secret of sleeping with men: being a bottom for top guys when in bed. I understood your situation, but to drag me with you? Oh, its a very silly thing to do. I won't be with you this time, because I'm protecting my image and professionalism -- I don't want any blot or wrinkle on my name. And please, if you claim boldly on seeing me on that freaking gay social networking website, I would shake it off like a fly eying dinner. YOU never saw me there. YOU never had proof. We never even had a conversation. Not a f*cking message from me. I wanted to give you the comforts of our friendship by having a shoulder to lean on these tough times because You are my best friend for seven years now.

My Last words for YOU:  <--click--

But I guess you need to take this journey alone. You gave me so much to be worried about because as you see, I haven't been seen with a girlfriend for three years now. My preferences are on question, too. I just hope you get past these troubled waters with an unharmed ship. There is pain in my chest but I still wish you the best, fuck you!

This storm in our friendship, I guess, will take a longer time to get settled. I want you to think about what you did, because I still don't want to replace my 'You are my best friend for seven years now' with 'You were my best  friend for seven years'.

Needs Improvement

Howdy! Maraming salamat po sa mga nag-follow sakin bago ang lahat. Nakakatuwa lang..

Anyway, apparently there's still drama in between me and him and it's getting to my nerves: see, I hate drama in a relationship. As much as possible I want it strain, stress and worry-free.

After several attempts in deciphering his being dodgy to my calls and texts and meet-ups, I was finally able to extract an answer from whatever he was aching about.

I changed his name on my phone to his real name because I was not feeling good with the way he was talking to me lately.

So, is this it? He's jealous with the people who text and call me? We made a deal a couple of days back and I ASSURED him that I won't be replying to these SMSs or answer these calls.

We met up earlier and he was playing Angry Birds on my phone. Then some devil called. bullshit

He told me to answer Mr. caller. I obediently did so. I intently placed it on loudspeaker so that I won't be repeating whatever the convo was all about.

Then, I'd be receiving this message from him. FUCK.

He was able to read a message, (sorry got no screenshot for this, I'm too lazy to do it now):

"Punta ka d2 sa pLace ko."

I asked him if he read something, he said he didn't.

Only to be pestered with this issue on the dead of the night.
