Before I went to UPM, I have already spoken to some students from the same school. They struck me as pessimists and their words have never affected my high hopes - until today... Langya talaga ang araw na ito.

I woke up earlier than planned because my blockmate told me we had OrSem [O db? Akala niyo sa ADMU lang may OrSem! Kami rin ano! LOL.], 8am @ the Little Theater. Today is also a special day because my favorite teacher is celebrating his birthday today. Kaya ba minarapat ko na magbihis ng maayos ngayon. Ibig ko sabihin eh magbihis babaeng-babae: aqua shirt, nice jeans and the pair of slingbacks I've been dying to wear. Before I left the house, I gave myself four [yes, four.=P] good looks in four [yes, four.=P] different mirrors and decided that for the first time in three weeks, I looked... decent.

Kung hindi ba naman at minamalas ako dahil sa LRT2 eh walang upuan. Hooray. *mark sarcasm in my tone* But I thought it was a little okay. After all, I needed time to get used to my new slingbacks.=P Baba ako ng Recto, lakad papunta ng D.Jose kung saan sasakay ako ng LRT1 naman. Time check: 7.30am.

I stood on the platform waiting for the train. *Enter first coach* The train was too crowded and though I [and the twenty other enthusiastic women] tried to squueze ourselves in, there was no point in trying. *Exit first coach* *Enter second coach* Same thing. Tough luck. *Exit second coach* Time check: 7.45am. Shitness, I was thinking "I have to get to school na." I decided to get on the next train no matter what. NO MATTER WHAT.

*Enter third coach* Still a little too crowded, but hey, I needed to get to school. So I literally wedged myself into the train. [I think when people say no matter what they don't really mean it. I say what I mean. LOL.] Lemme tell you, super sikip. As in hell. So I couldn't do anything but mumble "Shet, Lord. Shet, Lord. [repeat as necessary]" and pray that they all get off at the next station, Carriedo. Come Carriedo station, I was eager to let the passengers get... *Shove* *stumble, stumble, stumble* F*ck. I was pushed off the goddamn train. And I couldn't believe it! I was even at the female area! Ang init na ng ulo ko ng mga panahon na ito. Langya yan. Itulak ba daw ang ultimate goddess of everything! LOL. I was desperate [and I mean desperate] to get back on the train *Shove* *Almost fell into the space between the platform and the train*T*ngina. May humabol pa! As if getting shoved once wasn't bad enough. Pagkatapos ng pagdurusa ko, eh nakapasok na ako sa may looban. [Thank you, Lord!] I couldn't do anything but mumble "T*ngina niyo. [repeat as desired]"

Skip na natin yung mula 8am-12nn tutal wala namang nangyari gaano. Ayon nga sa Histo prof namen, no history means no bad news.=P

Lunch time na! Yahoo! I was hungry as hell and I wanted to get back all the energy I lost from all the stumbling, shoving and cursing I've been doing. We walked to KFC and stuff. Pag-upo ko sabi ba naman nung ka-block ko eh absent daw kame sa PE! ANO DAW?! Paano ako magiging absent kung malinaw namang sinabing excused ang lahat ng freshmen ng CAS sa classes dahil may OrSem?! Yun pala eh merong isang *argh* taong walang malasakit sa kapwa na pumasok sa PE. Lahat tuloy ng mga may PE that day ay absent. Isipin mo iyun, isa lang ang pumasok, lahat kame nagdusa na. Wow. My day couldn't possibly get worse. Or could it?

Pagkatapos kong mabanas dahil sa balitang absent daw ako sa PE, kinain ko na ang tanghalian ko. Biglang may Histo daw! Ha? Eh diba hanggang hapon yung OrSem? Pff. Tsk. Time check: 12.50pm. Shit! 1pm ang class ko ng Histo!

*Running to GAB105 sequence* Malas. Naka-heels pa naman ako.=( Hindi ko na kinaya. Bahala na silang tumakbo. Masakit na ang paa ko.=( *Enter Guard* "Ay... Iniwan si ma'am..." I appreciate his sympathy, but he could have at least made it sound as if he meant it. Then... Late ang dakilang prof. Pff. Figures. *shakes head in disbelief*

Pag-uwi ko naman sa bahay, sinalubong ako ng pagtaas ng pamasahe. Yahoo. How in the world will I save now? Eat air? Walk to school? *sigh*

Pero there's this one thing that made me smile. While I was waiting for a jeep in Katip, there was a lady holding a baby in her arms. Nung una di ko pinapansin. Mamaya-maya, nginingitian na ako ng baby. *smiles* Ang sarap ng feeling. Babies are truly, truly heaven sent.

Random thoughts/Lessons learned:

• The Philippines will never progress unless the people learn how to respect other people's immediate needs. By immediate needs I mean the people's need to get off and on the train properly, or get a decent seat in the jeepney or skip PE class because the upper-classmen said so. People are so selfish. I wonder how they'd like to experience all the evil in the world in just one day...


• If ever get elected president of this country, I will mandate [talagang mandate ang ginamit kong word sa sobrang banas ko. LOL.] that all children between ages 7-13 get 10 units of values formation every year. Tama pala yung sinasabi ng matatanda: Scenario when you're growing old? First, you lose your manners in one go. Then you lose everything else in small quantities at a time. [Sana yung manners na lang yung onti-onting nawawala...]


• Survival of the fittest. Need I say more?


• Huwag nang magsusuot ng heels...EVER! UPM is not ready for them. Maybe if you're from DLSU or ADMU you can wear heels, but not if you're in UPM. Or do, but at your own risk.


• Wala akong naachieve sa pagrereklamo ko. What's done is done.=P

PS Look out for my new layout! Pag di na ako bad mood, iloload ko na.=P
