i almost got late from my seminar class today... i took a nap past two and woke up 10 min before four. i had to walk really fast from sanggumay to ic just to be in time for my class... good thing the seminar started 5 mins past 4... i was saved by my angel;)!
i don't usually take naps coz they give me headaches. i cannot really explain why... but the one i had today was badly needed or else i might doze off in class. i had been depriving myself of the 8 hour sleep since january. i just have too many school stuff to do. i hope it will be over soon...
the seminar talked about determining the best analytical method for the analysis of artificial sweeteners like aspartame and saccharin. Though artificial sweeteners have been banned in the market due to its side effects, it is still widely used. The effect is not only limited to people suffering from phenylketonuria but also to normal individuals whose been using them. Anyway, we were indulged by the speaker to diet coke and biscuits using of course, artificial sweeteners! hahaha.... the food got us there! mga dalo man gud mi!

In my entry before the last one, I mentioned that something really weird happened some nights ago. I also said I'll be writing about it as soon as I get out of the "trance" I was in and get my thoughts together. Well, I think that time has come. Here's the story of the night...
It was Friday night (the 11th). I went back to my room really late after some reading, writing and cat-purring at

Fallen – Sarah Mclachlan
Heaven bent to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight
Truth be told I've tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear
Though I've tried, fallen...
I have sunk so low I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...
We all begin with good intent
Love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves
The past could be undone
But we carry on our back the burden
Time always reveals
In the lonely light of morning in the wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
That I held so dear. I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...
Heaven bent to take my hand
Nowhere left to turn I'm lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turned their heads embarrassed
Pretend that they don't see
But it's one missed step
You'll slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed
Though I've tried, fallen...
I have sunk so low I have messed up
Better I should know So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...
I have messed up Better
I should know So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

i miss grrr... and i don't know why... he's not even my friend... or maybe, i just miss the thought that he used to care for me... after two weeks of burning the lines... everything went dead... he was answering my call before i told him "call back your a**"... do i deserve such treatment from someone i don't really know? does he have the right to be hostile to me?
grrrr, if by chance you happen to read this..... do you know what your missing? well, i guess not...
maybe i should forget him... and move on with my life... i should lose hope on waiting...waiting for his calls, his messages... life is short... i should enjoy every moment of it... if waiting makes me happy so be it... for how long will i linger on these thoughts... only time can tell...
grrrr... i miss you! bisag lagot kaau ko nimo! giatay jud kang lakiha ka! feelingero pa jud!

today is ash wednesday! the gospel reminds us of 3 things, almsgiving, fasting and prayer. Of these 3 things, the hardest to do is fasting... fasting is not only limited to food, but to all the things our body desires... we should let go of these things so we can allow GOD to enter into our bodies...
there's one story i remember from fr. orbos' book "Moments". It was during ash wednesday and there was this woman who was totally dressed up and made up. when it was her time to be placed with ash on her forehead, she asked fr. orbos to place a small cross on her forehead and if possible, it should be unnoticed. due to his anger, fr. orbos put a big cross on the woman's face enough to be noticed! tsk...tsk...tsk... priests do lose their temper... nag inarte man gud si manang!!! i hope we will not be that woman... let's all pause, reflect and prepare ourselves as we journey to the season of lent...
