Bored, part 2

hayy. Still bored, I reaaaally can't figure out what to do with my remaining uhmm..three days of freedom. Ang konti na lang pala. But as boring and as uneneventful these past few days of bumming around the house were, I don't want it to end so soon. Nakakainis, soon I'll be back learning stuff na naman. Hehe. I know I'm bad. I really should learn to value education. Especially when it's worth around...p2500. The price range of say, a good pair of Converse shoes. Not that I want to trade my review classes for a pair of shoes. hehe. Gusto ko naman pumasa ng boards, if God permits. And go to the states,where I can earn lots and lots of money, I mean piles of it, so that later on, I could build a pool filled with money and I could swim on it all day, till eternity. hehe. Joke lang. But once, I really did dream of that, nung bata pa ako. Must be from reading too much Richie Rich comics. I don't know why I'm feeling so materialistic lately...

Anyway, out of boredom and too much free time these past few days, I decided to try to commute, I mean not just taxi, pero as in yung real thing, I mean jeepneys, MRT, bus,LRT, yung mga tipong siksikan and everything. Yung tipong mafi-feel mo na Pilipino ka talaga. hehe. Tipong, sobrang init na and lakad ka pa rin ng lakad to get to the next sakayan. The other day, I went to Megamall using the MRT. I had to walk the whole stretch of Annapolis na tanghaling tapat, sobrang init umitim ako talaga. The MRT was packed, as in packed talaga that I just stepped once inside and yun na yung lugar ko sa loob as in squished near the door of the MRT. And what's worse hindi ko alam na may men's and women's coach pala, so as usual sa men's coach ako nagpunta. So I was squished in between a lot of men na amoy araw, among other things, and the MRT door. Buti na lang five minutes lang papunta, or else feeling ko kung ano na nangyari sakin. I got through that, pero, I will never take the MRT, ever.
And then, the other day naman, I went to Recto to look for cheap books. I didn't know where it was exactly, so I just walked and walked and walked til I got lost. Somehow, after thirty minutes of wandering aimlessly and figuring out if nadaanan ko ba yung store na yun or what, nakita ko yung LRT station and I just followed the tracks. I really didn't want to ask around, kasi I might give them the impression that I didn't know anything, like I was this naiive kid, gullible therefore easy to trick and manipulate. I mean, ganun nga ako in real life, pero syempre, I had to pretend, like I had my best uhm, "mature adult" face on, strutting my best "I know-this-place" walk, so that I could get out of Recto alive! Grabe sobrang gulo dun. But, nakaalis naman ako, managed to walk again in the sweltering heat of Quiapo, and board the bus going to Greenhills. It was a humbling, learning experience for me. I learned, that in the event na konti na lang pera ko, I should just make utang and take a taxi. AND, next time, go to Recto with a friend who knows the place. Gosh. I feel like my wisdom's growing every minute. Hehe. Just kidding.

So those were my public commute adventures. Si Toffee, nagiingay na naman. Bukas, I have to take her sa vet. This white circular thing on her eye is really starting to bother us. We suspect it might be a cataract...and I suspect na baka may DM si toffee, I mean she's literally peeing all over the place. Plus she's fat. I'm not really sure if that's connected. I should know this, cause I'm a nurse. I mean, a soon-to-be-nurse, if God permits. Hoooh..sana talaga maging RN na ko, I mean sana walang maging complications. At sana...maging competent RN naman ako. Sana talaga!!!
