Not a retreat, just a vacation
Last week, I spent two days at the Capuchin Retreat House in Lipa City, Batangas for our first and only retreat in college.
It was beautiful indeed. A very welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of city living.
However, this is the only retreat where I haven't really felt God's presence. I have truly changed a lot in a span of 4 years. The effect of my Philosophy course still lingers in my mind and heart. Click here.

It's the season
A former (I think so) loved one has just broken up with her boyfriend, a former rival (I think so). One of my biggest regrets was not being able to tell her how I
Now with this incident, will I be that guy? That guy who is like a cat about to pounce on a helpless wounded mouse?
No. I won't. Much of the feelings have been lost as well. But we'll see. Click here.

No retaliation
My professor embarrassd me in front of the class today. He revealed that I ignored him after he failed me.
Well it's true. That was about two years ago already. It's been a year since I started talking to him again.
Well no more retaliation from me this time. I'm too old for that.

Douchebag
I've been prone to having outbursts this year.
I think I'm becoming a douchebag.

Untitled
I'm a broken man.
I'm in an unfamiliar territory the past couple of weeks. Literally. I keep finding myself wasting precious hours in Manila Doctors Hospital for the completion of our thesis. But to no avail. Those hours were nothing but wasted. And the atmoshpere inside the hospital certainly didn't help.
In other news, today, I had awkward moments with two of my high school batchmates.
The first one was used to be a close friend. Early in the morning, we crossed each others' paths. There was eye contact. And then we continued walking in our separate directions.
The second one was not really a close friend, but we used to say hi to each other. She got on the same bus as I did on my way home from school. There was the usual boring me. I tried to keep a conversation with her, but to be honest, I really just wanted to be left alone. I'm a broken man remember?
I really need to get out. And party. With someone. But then again, I'm broke.

Thoughts for today
Why is everyone suddenly joining Facebook? I got around 10 invites just this week.
The Taco Bell branch in SM Southmall is now closed. I loved their pseudo-Mexican food.
The bus fare from our village to school has increased by around 54%. How I wish the proposed extension of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) from Baclaran to Cavite was already completed. Would've saved me a lot of time and money. By the way, I spent 45 minutes waiting for a bus on my way home.

Blogging by Twitter
I find myself updating my Twitter more often than this blog. Probably because I don't have to say a bunch of things anyway. So starting today, I will automatically publish my tweets here on Top Dog using LoudTwitter.

One Missed Call
I just finished watching One Missed Call.
What the hell is that mess? Although again I was amused for more than an hour. I seriously liked Feng Shui better than this movie.

And I'm back
Finally, our thesis defense is over and I can finally say I'm back. For good, I hope. Last night, I promised that I'll watch most of the movies I have downloaded the past few months. Well, so far, I've only seen 10,000 B.C.
The movie started slow. So slow that I almost pressed the stop button. Good thing I saw the whole movie. Though it was not really that good, it kept me entertained. It did not turn out to be the movie I had in mind while previewing the trailer several months ago, but I liked the turn of events anyway.
Next up, Hollywood versions of Japanese horror flicks...

Some thoughts
I missed these babies.
I was passing through SM Southmall last Friday and there was an American Festival along the Food Street. Since when do we celebrate the Independence Day of other countries? First, Halloween. Now, Fourth of July. What's next? St. Patrick's Day? Ah. Capitalism at its best.
They say there is depth in the women's tennis tour. I say there are currently no great champions.
I'm so excited for my internship, which will start in a few months. Problem is, I haven't secured one yet. I'm so sick of university, except from one sunshiney spot. Click here.
