Detox Mode is ON
April 22nd, 2011 § 2 Comments
This is my first Holy Week with Facebook. Not that I’m on Facebook all the time–I am surprisingly not, the social network is no more than a grapevine for tuning in to other people’s (not necessarily friends’) activities now. I rarely post anything except for pictures. Last year, my first full year with Facebook, I was still in the US during Holy Week, and life definitely didn’t stop there for some religious observation.
So many things have changed, I can say for sure. My mother commented on local TV stations airing their regular fanfare, “Dati talaga Lunes Santo pa lang mga makabagbag-damdaming tugtog na at palabas ang laman ng TV!” I do remember spending Holy Week as a kid watching classic Filipino movies–my first taste of Bernal, Brocka, Nora Aunor and Christopher de Leon were had then, and only then, because my mother never gave in to my vehement pleas to please equip our humble television with cable subscription. (Bababa daw ang grades ko.) My father, on the other hand, has been asking if I had any movies on my computer that were “appropriate for Holy Week.” Fun. Apparently the season really does have an effect on some people.
For me, on the other hand, this week is more significantly known as My First Real Week Out of College. Although I’m still swamped with part-time, freelance work, I can say that my detox program for five years worth of caffeine and all-nighters has started. I am infusing my days with more movement (haha, guess what I’ve been doing?), and I wanna embark on a journey away from sugar, inspired by this!
I better get back to work now and finish every last sentence up, so that I could fully enjoy next week’s trip to Cebu with my best friend. It’s also my first real grown-up trip! I’ve taken many trips before but they were either official academic trips or visits to destinations where my parents knew someone who would watch after me (and report to them!) Haha. This is gonna be legen-darrrry!
Yo P. Are you done with the mind museum shiz? I have like 150 items (interpretive text) to write about and I’ve only finished 50. :< Grabeeee sobrang dami. Nag dagdag pa sila sakin lately. How are you? You have a job now?
I'm so stressed and you even manage to write in publications! How's the printing of The Lit App by the way? Ok ba itsura niya?
Hindi pa
I’m back in school and there’s A LOT of reading I have to do. 
( I swear I’ll try to finish by this weekend. I have less than 100 as of now. But madadagdagan pa nga daw.
And no, I don’t have time to write anything anymore! Sabi ko nga I’ll write a poem for every law case we’re required to read. Haha. But yeah, no, plan went down the drain.
LitApp, binding na! Yay! Baka late July ang launch
OK naman siya 
Kelan ka dadaan sa UP?
