Prinsesa’s Anatomy

Looks like Milan, doesn't it?

I have always thought that enrollment in big universities were supposed to be a breeze. Well, at least that was what I thought up until yesterday. See, I have submitted myself for yet more torture to pursue higher education by taking up graduate studies (somehow saying that does not still feel quite right, LOL!) I was officially enrolled yesterday in the country’s catholic university.

It was almost going well up until step 3 where I am supposed to have my subjects encoded that it all went crazy. Apparently, the oracle system was eating my record, refusing to accept me as a new student, but what was appearing from the registrar was that I am an old student from the conservatory of music!

But instead of transforming into a decepticon, when the clerk asked me about it I just could not help but laugh a hearty one, because of all errors in the world, me in the conservatory of music was just hilarious – I am born tone deaf. Major LOL!

When I told Sir Job and Echo , my wonderful, wonderful friends who were with me yesterday (thank you very much for looking after me!) they also burst out laughing!

For what it was worth, at least for a day I was a music goddess. But still, please don’t ask me to sing.

As I was going through featured news and articles on yahoo, I found an interesting one talking about eight perfect sleep-better foods, which includes non-fat popcorn, oatmeal with sliced banana, a pile of sesame seeds, a glass of wine, red bell peppers, unsweetened cheery juice, and yogurt with nuts.

I’m not sure how well those foods will go with me, after all, who wants to eat a pile of sesame seeds and red bell peppers while watching TV before going to bed right?

But I find that apart from greasy potato chips, this is what I eat before going beddy-bye:

Plus, if you buy a bag as huge as this one, it can also make a good pillow, or an eye cover. See, you cannot do that with yogurt and nuts.

Another article I deem interesting was one talking about the potato farmer’s holy grail: a new potato to be used as McDonald’s fries. Now I cannot argue with that – America’s probably got one of the highest obesity rates in the world and in one or two parallel universes.

Which reminds me of a fun time last night with my two sisters, Ched and Piapot, and my Man on our way home from the city. It was dark and raining but it was all yellow inside the car, we were almost blinded by entertainment.

Plus, the potato wedges from a local bar and grill were so superb. Yum! Oopsie, I forgot to take a picture of it! Hmmm… Then maybe we should have it again tonight.

Introducing… Mime Jr.!

I want extra cheese!

Call Me

I'm free on Fridays

Kulot went away for an overnight youth camp in the Diocese yesterday to serve as a facilitator for the new participants. I really cannot imagine her being a religious mut. It just feels so weird. LOL.I wonder how she prays for them?

I really don’t know. But no matter how surprising, I am glad she has various opportunities to develop herself.

In light of recent events, not only in the country but also in some places around the world, I have been thinking about the ideal trasnport system that would suit my taste.

On the dinner table a couple of nights ago, I finally came to a conclusion and announced it excitedly to my siblings:

ME: Ayokong sumakay sa barko, baka lumubog eh. Isa pa, hindi ako marunong lumangoy. Mag aairplane na lang ako. [I don't want to ride a boat. It might sink, plus I don't know how to swim. Thus, I prefer traveling by plane.]

My siblings seem to see the logic in my thought until Piapot suddenly said:

PIAPOT: Bakit, marunong ka bang lumipad? [Why, do you know how to fly?]

Hmm.. Now I think it would be better if i just walked. I like walking better anyways.

I would often play Guess The Sketch (GTS) Challenge on Facebook these days against my sister Kulot, her classmates, and my Man. We would often have such a grand time that every round ends up with us having stomachaches from too much laughing. It was so much fun that there would be times when Kulot would open her account and her classmates would ask for me so that we could play GTS already. LOL

On one particularly fun game, it was my turn to draw and the word was yacht. What was funny was that they knew what the word was but could not spell it correctly! I was dead on the floor laughing my lungs out. The kids would spell yatch, yates, yatee, yate, yatch, yate yan eh di ko lang alam spell! [that is a yacht, i just don't know how to spell yacht correctly!] – everything but the correct one!

The best part about it is that you could tease them endlessly about their blunders – either when they misspell a word or cannot guess an obvious one after everybody in the room has already done so.

But more than that, I think it is the bonding that we create which is most special, especially that my sister is an adolescent, the knowledge that I am a part of her life, and a fun one at that as attested by her peers, is what would definitely keep me drawing hands that look like edematous bananas in GTS, possibly for a long time.

Working on the accreditation of the College of Nursing and Midwifery in the university, PM spend the whole day at another campus and slaved till the world spun around my consciousness.

I was designated on Area II – Faculty, with my good friend, Sir Benj, and when lunch time came, we decided to go to a nearby fastfood chain.

While waiting for our order at the counter, Sir Benj played with the drinking straw container, strangling its top cover to make his hands busy. Little did we know that a tiny monster kid on the other counter was watching him intently and maybe, when the kid could not resist what she was seeing, she went up to us and pressed the straw container while telling Sir Benj, “Ganito po gamitin yan o [You get a straw from here like this],” demonstrating flawlessly then saunters triumphantly away.

More than the kid’s surprising helping hands, what made me laugh really, really hard, was when Sir Benj defensively said, “Alam ko naman gamitin to no! Pinapaglaruan ko lang [I know how to use this! I was just playing with it]!”

Hmm… I think kids have been stalking me real good lately!

PM went to the city to visit her mentor because today is her birthday (happy birthday Madam!). She told me to add her up on Facebook and tend to her farm on Farmville, but of course I told her I do not have my own account. LOL.

She then proceeded into telling me of a quiz she took titled ‘What is your true age?’ and was laughing out loud because it said she was sixty years old inside!

I took the same quiz out of curiosity and what do you know we got the same result! The quiz said, with what I was dealing with, I was somewhere around 46-60 years old and at a period of ‘Happy Retirement’ because “You’ve been worked like a dog and are ready to retire. For now you enjoy watching tv and talking about the good old times.”

And to think I am just 21 years old! But to consider the fatigue I really am getting these days, I think I really should consider an early retirement! LOL!

During today’s morning commute to the city, PM shared the PUV ride with a middle-aged woman and her two kids, which I am guessing are preschool and toddler aged. It might sound pretty lame, after all, it is not unusual to see a mother with kids tagging along during trips, but what made it interesting was how happy and contented their faces was with each other – especially their mother’s, to think she was with two active monsters, kids, I mean. It was as if I could feel their warmth and contentment, and sense of family.

The toddler also reminded me of the beauty the simplicity of childhood brings, like when he saw a cow on the field, it was as if it was the most interesting thing in the world! Whereas I, on the other hand, would look at that cow and think of how nice it would be to eat grass all day long with a ridiculously loose skin! LOL.

I was almost coming to that point where I am really enjoying observing these kids, as opposed to the usual asphyxiating effect they have on me – it was almost an epiphany… if only the kid who was seated across me did not suddenly puke yellow mushy slime goodness all over.

Ah, kids!

Btw, photo is not mine. Got it from google search.

I took this quiz on facebook titled ‘What kind of dater are you?’ and the result is ‘passionate dater’, with an explanation that reads: “You are the one that takes things seriously. When you are in a relationship you are always committed. You also never get too involved unless they are very important to you.”

I think it is a fitting interpretation. After all, what kind of a relationship is one that lacks commitment?

Oh, a relationship which is a no relationship. LOL.

And what kind of person gets involved with something irrelevant? Psychopath? LOL
