a simplistic account of things

As seen from on top of a urinal in an all-girls Catholic School in QC:
"Flash after using."
Hmm...

I passed our final exam last December, many thanks to our sensei who handed me back my paper and told me which parts I got wrong. However I still may not be able to enroll in Int.2 this semester since there aren't enough students to open an intermediate class for.

My job technically ends tomorrow and my new one starts on Monday. I feel a little bad for my boss since they're really busy right now, and there are a lot of clients to call and job fairs to participate in, but I've already told the people at the new place I'll be available on the 9th so I really can't do much about that.
I still can't help but think, though, that if my boss had offered me an increase in salary last year, then maybe I would have thought about resigning 10 times over instead of 9.

Things at home are a bit shaky, or maybe I'm the only one whopays attention to notices it. Sibling still gloats when my parents argue over him. My mother still thinks my dad and I want to throw sibling out of the house, cut off all monetary support and let him starve to death. Well, she's right about me and some parts. Ugh. Sometimes people can be so emotional. They only see the drama in the situation they're in.

Watched Oprah earlier, much to ho e's dismay, and one of the guests said something like the people you attract say a lot about you. Well if that's to be believed, then I must be a nerd or whatever they call those people these days (a friend and I still can't agree on the difference between nerds and geeks, and I refuse to be labelled a geek since I don't "geek" out over any one thing) because most of my friends belong to one category or the other. As if that mattered. But it's sometimes amusing to think that many of the guys who notice me are the almost socially inept gamer-cosplayer-fanboy-computer whiz types, and just recently an arrogant lan nang type.
Pointless post.

My aunt went to Infanta, Quezon last year as one of the organizers/directors of the immersion/outreach project of their school. She saw many things in the typhoon-ravaged place, from imprints left behind by people who were buried beneath the fallen trees to a scene of hands waving from underneath what seemed like flood water - only there wasn't any flood. My favorite story, though, was the one about the tikbalang. My aunt told me he had no tail, unlike how he's often portrayed, but then there could be those that do those that don't. (Maybe.) The tikbalang had red eyes, spiky hair and looked more like a mule than a horse. He also had an (un)healthy appetite for mestizas. Well, most tikbalangs do, but the one in Infanta tried to do something nasty to 2 of my aunt's wards. Fortunately, he was reprimanded a couple of nights later by kindly spirits from an old balete tree, and didn't bother the group for the rest of their stay in the area.
The story's actually a lot better than that, but I'm not a very good story teller, and some scenes are sometimes better acted out than said - to make up for my lack of verbal ability.
