Hymns from A Winged Archer

My girlfriend Just came from the north of the country, La Union, Ilocos and all that for a photo shoot or something, around last last week and she promised to buy me pasalubong. That pasalubong ended up as being Bagnet, this really crazy pseudo lechon chicharon that I really cant put a grasp on how to describe it. And bloody hell did it taste sooo good!!! Why is it that the (i)locanos know how to make the best tasting food on earth, and, at the same time, know how to create this monstrosity of a dish you fwws to children if they’r bad or if your just plain sadistic, that you call pinakbet? I hate that! no offense meant to the ilocanos, but just stick with making food that give men a good reason to have a heart attack. I wouldn’t mind dying if it meant eating such an enjoyable meal…

At the condo, my padmate and another buddy were drinking Cianti (an italian wine) and enjoying each other’s company. We were debating regarding Love as being rational or irrational in nature when things kinda got heated in a way. I guess someone forgot to lock the door, I suppose because it was bloody hot that early morning (around 2am), because we saw, this old middle-eastern guy which we have never seen at Burgundy, in his silk P.J’s, pop out from his unit  facing ours.  My friend, being polite and all, told my padmate to ask the arab dude if we were a bit too loud and was desturbing his sleep, in which he did. What happened next was kinda weird, at least in my perspective.. the Arabian, which by the way looked deally decent, clean and dignified, said that we didn’t desturb anything, but if we did, it was ok. Then he asked us from what country we were, in which he couln’t believe we were locals. He then said that he was from Iraq. Then asked us what we were taking, and he kinda mentioned that he had a PhD on some science. -ma boka din pala mga Iraki no? Any how, the arab went back to his unit as we bid him goodnight. My buddies and I looked at each other, seeing who would grin and make the first racist joke. "Tahimik na tayo, baka may Scud missiles siya sa Pajamas niya!" hehehe.. but seriously, he really did look kinda decent, and Iraqi or not, I bet he’s a nice guy.

Sigh…. got a 4.0 (perfect in DLSU and ADMU grading system) again for a midterm in speech class. What’s new? This week was fucking hell for me. I made this one paper for a friend for 550 pesos, hell of a good paper that got me exhausted typing… Should have charged him a hell lot more cuz’ he’s guaranteed to get a high score, not to mention 10 pages of single spaced literary masterpiece I wrote in 2 days.. damn… next time, charge more…. like 2000 or something

There is a reason why they call this time of year "hell week". To start things off, I have a presentation which is due next wednesday, got a team to organize for political science presentation on Monday, got to watch this ‘Body’ thing as well for Genders class tomorrow. Fuck. The biggest problem about it is, the group that I have for the Genders presentation and the Political theory thing I have going. Fucking hell are they spoilled bratts! At least in my former block, they were spoilled bratts alright… but spoiled bratts with brains!!! Sigh… There is no order in how they try to get things done. They are just this one crazy mess of kids wearing diapers, sucking on a lollipop, pretending to be adults. Fucking hell. And of all things, they look to me for leadership. Fuck that. I hate being benevolent in this kind of situation, having to depend my grade on these low lifes.. Its a double bind situation I got myself in… Damn if I do help them out cuz’ they’l just parasite my fucking work, and Fuck me as well if I don’t help out cuz’ we all fail. Bloody "special" children with drool all over their faces… In my old block, when we had a project, rarely does it uccur that a person would slack off, out of sheer respect for the team. if ever one should not, like in a team I was with before, we made proper disposal of the member. But hell… its the whole goddamned team… Gimme a gun, and lets make this an individual presentation, if you know what I mean Fucking abnormal children….
