Vigan Rocks! - A little too much for me apparently

I'm supposed to be back in Camarines Norte tonight instead of typing this post. But apparently I had way too much fun in Vigan for my own good. Stress probably was the trigger that brought back my asthma. I had to get a check-up to make sure I'm fit for my immediate departure, but I've been advised to rest for the rest of the week instead. I have to admit, I do have a tight schedule. But if I had my way, I'll be sucking it up and following my scheduled sembreak outings, which like I said, is supposed to be Camarines this week.

Well, Vigan was a blast. So worth it for the php900 we payed. Why? Cuz that's only transportation fee. We were taken care of by the Mayor Eva Medina, luckily Joana our ESSmate's mom. That meant a stay at Chavit's Baluarte Zoo, a shuttle around the city care of our own Tour bus and so much food. I actually lost my appetite by the second day because of all the meals we keep on eating. That didn't stop me from eating though. Who would, when all of it is just so delicious (and free!).

When not eating , we were touring the city. And we got to a lot of places. Vigan is a small city that the next stop on the itinerary wasn't even 5 minutes away. That meant no sleep-rest in the bus in between destinations. We went through numerous museums in the first day, on the second looked at the Vigan envi projects - the Bioreactor and the styro remolding machine, loom weaving and pottery making, and on the third day hanged at an awesome private beach resort. You can see pics of these at my multiply here http://stargazersplace.multiply.com/photos/album/51/Vigan_Ecotour_

I think my asthma came back when we went to the Bioreactor and the styro melting site. Well, the Bioreactor is where they turn biodegradable waste into compost-fertilizer and where they remelt Styrofoam packaging into tables. The fumes are noxious - well for me. Ammonia from the reactor and burning sytro smell. Who wouldn't love that.

Well, either that, or I was just really stressed. Lack of sleep from late night fun and no bus rest time (even from the inter-provincial night trip to and from Vigan) and hectic schedule all probably took a toll on me.

Well even if I was catching my breath already by the 3rd day, that wouldn't erase the fact that the Vigan Ecotour was a blast, both as a educational and recreational experience.

Oh how time flies

It's been more than a month since I've blogged. Now what was the last thing I said... oh right, the music survey (that was a good post by the way) - o good lord how time flies. Now if anyone it's God who knows there had been alot of things that has happened that I could have written about, like the ICC, or the Dress code issue or all sorts of stuff but sadly i haven't felt that nudge from above that compels me to unleash my literary sarcastic power of writing. Why post now? Well, this is a sort of obligatory post as not to let my blog die of uselessness.

Well, it's the end of this sem too and it's time to look back, and damn that's not a pretty picture. I've done miserably this sem, basically 70% slacked off and now facing a low grade. 2 are in danger, Fil and Eco (seriously, these subjects are darn as hell annoying), a low Histo grade that I can change given a high grade in my finals (memorizing asian terms just don't cut it for me) and our big mystery theo grade. My only good grade I have is French (guaranteed B, confidently A after Finals) and PE (Also A, too bad it ain't part of the QPI <_<).

Now I don't know what's wrong with eco, but I'm pretty sure 3 sections with an average of F means I'm not the only having trouble with it. There is still hope though in 3 things: The paper we submitted, ma'am hopefully curving the grade, and our finals. Here's to hoping.

Fil? Well, it's Fil, who wouldn't think its a hard subject. Problem here is I don't know my standing cuz we don't know the marks I got in my papers. All I have going is our long tests (again ,not a very pretty picture). Well, go Finals again.

And you know what, if these two already give a crapload of pressure, you gotta love the fact that both finals (my last hopes, miracle cures) are scheduled right after each other. I'll have lotsa fun studying for that.

I gotta blame this with my lack of inspiration - problem since I entered college. I have no driving passion, no muses to push me. All I got is looking forward to smoking my weekly 2 packs of cigarettes over at Blueskies .I'm sure nobody got the reference; you see Bluskies ironically is a fully enclosed air conditioned internet cafe where I play and where all sorts of people with no lives smoke like there's no tomorrow. Oh how I wish they all get a lung full of cancer someday for making innocent children life me breathe the crap they breathe - I seriously don't understand why they still need to light a new one, you could practically smoke using a straw.

Simply put, I'm bored out of my skull. Someone needs to compel me to work harder. Promising myself to study harder next time won't work (we all know that doesn't work). I need to promise someone else. And would you look at that, it's October once again.The sem's ending and a new whole new one is right around the corner. Oh how time flies...
