As March 22 (the final judgement or should I say the date of graduation) is nearing, I find myself carefully massaging my batok daily.... i dunno if my blood pressure is escalating but one thing for sure... I HAVE LOTS OF STUFFS TO WORRY ABOUT IN THE COMING WEEKS.
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE NO.1: The Scholastican
I am not yet cleared by the Student Affairs Office cos I still have to release two more issue for The Scholastican, one literary folio and one magazine. What makes my pressure rise is my literary editor who is always missing in action and who has not performed her responsibilities as editor and yet you'll find her name to be a mainstay in your multiply inbox. Yes, this girl updates her multiply regularly and even has the time to go to gimik to Dolce! Hindi ba naman tataas ang blood pressure mo non?! They are way beyond the deadline that i gave them and still is not yet progressing (altho I'd like to thank my Male Literary Editor for doing his job in making this work, thanks)
I met up with my Features Editor and Managing Editor yesterday at Starbucks to discuss our plan for the magazine. The planning and brainstorming went great, set aside the occasional sarcastic remarks of my Managing Ed.. but in the end every detail were useful
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE NO.2: Mama Mia's Coming Home!
After 18 long years, at last, Mama's coming home. You might be thinking of the typical balikbayan scenario :
Me, waiting in the arrival of NAIA...
Mama, fixer her baggages quickly upon landing of the plane..
Cut to cut scene of me being agitated to see her, and then her, clumsily briging her bags to meet us..
Then the scene's climax is when we run towards each other, crying and hugging each other like there's no tomorrow.
Uhmm, I don't think ganito mangyayari. Diba nga masakit ang batok ko.
I am concerned in so many things, other than seeing her..
Yeah, I once blogged about my dreams of going to grocery with my mom, or going shopping at 168 together.. pero nung malaman kong, BAKA FOR GOOD NA SIYA DITO SA PILIPINAS... Napaisip ako..
Is this the best time to go home? Eh wala pa nga akong trabaho.... Meaning, parang I still need help from them (her and papa) hanggang hindi pa stable yung career ko (what career?). Parang naweweirduhan ako sa mga pangyayari. Kasi I want her to be here to witness my graduation, I dont want her here for good! I want to go to the US! I want to have a vacation there, gusto ko din mapetition! I want to work there (pero not now, recession eh)
It all started when I asked her to buy a house in the US, sabi ko kasi, its very cheap to buy now, hanggang recession pa. She said, "Why would I need to buy a house here, Im coming home to the Philippines?"
So I was like?! What?! youre staying here for good?! What If Jed goes to New York (with his tita) and he petitions me, pano siya (mama) dito sa Pinas?
Sobrang inappropriate kasi ng actions niya eh. What I needed to hear from my mom is enough na yung ipon niya to buy her own house, to start her own business and to at least supply for her needs while I am not yet earning.... Pero until now, she remained secretive of her plans... Kaya ewan ko ba!
Hiwalay na sila ng Dad ko. Does she expect na bubuhayin siya ni Papa? Of course not. Pero I dont think Mama will make hingi din naman kay Dady eh...
Sabi na nga lang ni Mama Steve (Mama for us cavitenos means Uncle).. Wag nga daw ako magworry. First, hindi siya uuwi dito sa Pinas kung hindi ayos papeles niya. Meaning Citizen na siya and she can go back there anytime she likes. 2nd uuwi siya sa Pilipinas dahil marami na siya ipon.
Nappressure kasi ako na I have to work immediately na kasi nga mababawasan na allowance ko, from Mama...ewan! Gulo!
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE NO.3 How to Spend My Vacation
I wanna spend this vacation with a blast! Pero sa dami ng pressure.. ewan ko ba! Actually pati kung san magbabakasyon eh, kinasasakit ng batok ko! Gusto ng NERDS na mag Cebu, game naman ako dun! Gusto ng LiaCom Peeps na mag Quezon Province kina Hannadale then Boracay.. DJ wants to go to Bora din and Ate Kai promised me of Bora din..
I want to go to Hong Kong, Macau and China on April na agad, pero my other relatives, punta ata by May pa.. sasabay kaya kami dun? Eh pending din nga dahil sa pag-uwi ni Mama..
Tanginaaaaaa talk about pigtal the ugat sa batok?!!
