on 640am friday i'll be flying to meet jeffrey in pennsylvania.
i havent seen him since july 31 2006.
seemed only last week.
awwww.
i'll be flying back home by aprill 11 hopefully having enough time for my mom's april13 birthday.

when this bakasyon grande ends, i'll be preparing for the scholarship and eligibility exams mama organized for me. im taking them from mid april to late may. by june med school will begin and that would probably force me to study. for real. aargh. just thinking of it makes me feel scared.
............

i have a 2-month old daschund puppy named footlong.
now i have an excuse to smell bad. hahaha.
he's seriously driving me crazy because he really smells, but he's such a sweet and cute lap dog that i cant refuse picking up when he begs to sleep on my lap. i think he thinks he's not a dog.
............

in other news:
mama went chummy-chummy with president arroyo earlier this afternoon.

i arrived at my bf's pad yesterday. for the first time i have seen snow. haha! how childish is that?!
anyway, we're heading out for pizza. woohoo!

i am now 22 years old.

.5 year bum
4.5 years college
4 years high school
6 years elementary
4 years pre-elementary
the rest: drool years
.....

saw micheal clayton (movie) yesterday with jeffrey.
there were only 4 of us in the movie house.
....

i now have cracked skin.

ive recently started reviewing for the april scholarship exam.

forgive me for having to type that. i think i typed it to reassure myself that i am really reviewing, not just pretending to glance over these MSA reviewers in between nip tuck episodes. its just too friggin boring being caved-in by all the snow outside.
...

right now ive considered the bedroom as 'inside' and the rest of jeffrey's apartment as 'outside'. his apartment's heating system would probably cost him a lot if it was on 24/7 so ive decided to take up residence in the bedroom with a portable heater, pretending it to be my tropical refuge. dont get me wrong, ive been living inside a room since i graduated. basically, i just took a plane ride on to a different latitude and time zone to do the same thing.

professional bum, baby!

..but with the added bonus of not feeling guilty if i didnt showered ('tis freezing ya know). haha.

anyway, dont worry. ive reached the church and the grocery store many times in the out-outside world. tomorrow we'll be attending a free-pizza-and-beer-concert of a band of some sort. thank goodness jeffrey doesnt have to work tomorrow.
...

i now own a destroyer in the universe of eve btw. its an online game that awfully feels like star trek and star wars.
...

the anniversary of the EDSA I revolution is near (maybe it already passed im not really sure) and predictions for it by 'sister berta' is awfully gruesome. a lot will die she says. we pray her words to be false though.

so now my parting words:
could everyone please try not to kill anybody? ever? thank you.

i was browsing around the philippine inquirer web page and found that sister berta's readings were slowly being realized.

this post is not asking about the current riot in makati.
this post is asking about another 'posting' on the page about the Top 10 Master Plumber with a link to other passers. what exactly is a master plumber? is it a qualifying exam? an eligibility exam? no. its a Licensure Examination.

stupid jai thinking aloud: so that means you have to have a 4-year college degree for it?
silence....
errr? yes?
i really dont know.


anyone outhere care to enlighten me?
i'll research later, promise.

i dont mean to be rude but why do i always have this image of the Mario Bros when i hear the word 'plumber'.
...

tubero. that's the tagalog equivalent of the word plumber.

when you're around quezon city, look at the streetlight posts.
if you're in a project housing area, you'll probably see a TUBERO sign.

you'll see a post like this:
TUBERO
ROMMEL
812-3456

written in red paint on a bond paper.
posted on at least every other light post. (or tree)
sometimes there are 3 (different) names and numbers per light post. probably a JOEL or DING or some guy's name.

are tuberos really in demand?
are the number of leaky pipelines around that area so excessive that it demands these many tuberos?

a friend told me they were male prostitute advertisements.
i have yet to find out if its true.
