I've been shifting from highs and lows all day today. I sometimes forget what a tendency my emotions have to fluctuate.

This morning was completely, utterly silly. I found out that my floppy disk containing the 'Never' poem had somehow been corrupted by this evil machine last night, so the project was almost screwed since I couldn't print it out. I suddenly remembered I'd posted the poem here, so after first period I went straight to my English class. I was about to tell my English teacher about this great idea when I realized the entire class was made of strangers. I'd walked into my wrong period. Feeling completely foolish, I laughed myself to the right class. Later, I was able to copy the poem to Word, center and resize the text, and rescue my grade.

(The bad news was, there was no way to save anything else I've got on the disk, namely the 300+ point English project due tomorrow. All the effort to avoid procrastinating earlier this week has gone to shit cause I'll be up in the wee hours of the morning tonight, rewriting the largest paper of the three. It makes me angry all over again to think about it. Fucking floppy disk...)

At lunch Janelie, Rachel, Navi and I discussed plans for Janelie's LOTR: ROTK birthday outing next Saturday. I'm really, really excited to go see this movie, not only because it's going to be awesome, but also because it's going to be my first time going out with a big group of friends--there'll be a total of ten kinda dorky, straight-and-narrow, Honor-rolling, Legolas and Aragorn fangirl type chicks going to the second showing. The geekiness is going to saturate the air. Damn, I can't wait. I still have to find something to get for her present, though... Anyway, we also talked about spoiled, disrespectful younger siblings. It was really cathartic. I was happy everyone found my stories about TRV funny.

After 5th period I ended up walking a new route with Janelie to the MS building, and as we were talking ____ passed right by me. He was reading a paper as he was walking, so I don't think he noticed me. That half second where he was less than a foot away from me is probably the closest I've ever been to him since last May. I found the fact that this happened amusing--now, when I'm not looking for him, life puts him right in front of my face. What was nice was, I didn't feel a thing. I used to be sad. Then I used to be afraid. Then I used to be hopeful. Now, I'm totally blase. I've moved on. Every time I remember this, I feel happy because I remember waiting for my heart to heal, and it finally has.

I really should write this down: 6th period today wasn't at all as dry as it usually is. I introduced the concept of Filipino street food to a Hispanic acquaintance who was curious about balut. Meow pao[1] is such a fun word. Because he's a loud kind of fool, pretty soon he had all the Flips in class (there are five or six of us including the teacher) laughing and yapping for a whole three distracted minutes about meow pao, askal[2] (fact or fiction? we'll never know.), balut[3], and all the other crazy Filipino food no right person would eat.

You would've had to have been there.




*[1]: You might be familiar with 'sio pao', the well-known Chinese pork bun. As far as I know, Meow Pao, Filipino cat bun, really exists, but I've never tried it.
*[2]: Askal: asong kalye. Translation: dog of the street = stray dog = mutt. I'm convinced this is an urban legend. 'Askal' is what they call stray dogs. That's it. FILIPINOS DO NOT EAT DOG.
*[3]: Balut: Duck egg. With the duck chick, called the 'sisiw' still inside. Many people, even Filipinos themselves, find this disgusting. Me, I grew up eating this, and with the known existence of Meow Pao, I don't mind it at all. I heard they made Fear Factor contestants eat this, and they did the usual gag. I think if they'd eaten it properly (piping hot with some salt), they would've been able to bear it. Like those century eggs. Bunch of sissies.
