Late post on Fun Triathlon

Recently i found out that...

1. One of my classmates has Hepatitis B

2. Another one lives under a bridge and is suspected to be a druggie

and

3. even though I'm excited to leave next year,

i still can't brush away this lil feeling called FEAR.

I'm drawn to the future but it scares me at the same time.

I think i'm going through that stage again.

Like back in College.

I took my time, i did all i could to stop myself from graduating. 

I would skip class, fail subjects, etc.

Graduating meant having to force my self to grow up and take on

RESPONSIBILITIES. 

That word. The thought of THAT word scared me.

My blog aptly named after my misadventures is quite a bit of contradiction.

I'm never adventurous. I can't take roller coaster rides, i'm scared about a lot of things.

It's just that i think i draw in misadventures, or maybe i get myself into a lot of shit.

I am now, at a point in my life where i see my future as uncertain.

I do not know what's gonna happen to my family, my "relationship", my career.

Am i having a quarter-life crisis?!?

A more realistic wishlist

 I just want 

1. Plain V-necked Tees from www.sexywhiteshirt.mulitply.com

only Php 395 ($9)

2. Trousers with belt pleats (Army Green) from Zara

3. I've always wanted to get a pair of Gold Tom's

but i never really got to buying them..

it's because...

 a) when i have money i don't buy it, i end up buying something else

b) i don't have money

4. Jeffrey Campbell Ballet flats, much to my surprise, was already being sold here in the Philippines.

5. Lastly, Rayban aviators

That's it :)

Today i rode a jeepney

Actually two jeepneys. 

It took me two jeepney rides and a quick 5 min. walk to get to my school.

Now, if you know me, you'd know that I never take the jeepney in Manila.

I avoid it at all costs and I don't ride it alone. 

There were a couple of times i took it, 

but i was always in the company of my friends or guy cousins.

Sometimes they'd tell me that we'll take the jeepney just cuz it's cheaper and faster,

and i'd give them the pity face so we wouldn't have to. 

If that didn't work, i'd offer to pay for the cab fare.

Or if we're lucky we'd have my cousin's driver drop us off the mall or wherever.

The jeepney was never an option in commuting. 

Commuting meant taking the cab.

But before you go about judging and thinking "what a stuck up" 

read this: http://senorenrique.blogspot.com/2008/08/on-jeepney-riding-and-holdups.html

plus the fact that it gets hot and sticky and all the smoke and dust go directly to your face.

germs/bacteria. 'nuff said.

Anyway, back to the jeepney ride.

I clutched my bag and books, put on my serious face (eyebrows crossed, eyes squinted) and purposely walked a lil weird so no one would dare mess with me..

But I did it. BY MYSELF.

No cousins. No Mommy/Daddy. No friends. Just me. 

And i'm a little proud to say that i braved a day taking this public transportation.

I might just do it again. I just hope i don't get lost.

Oh, and i have my first exam tomorrow. I'm excited!
Is it weird that i'm excited for an exam?

First day of classes

I got to class 30 minutes early, and got to know the other "students". Most All of my classmates were there to take the lessons for their fiancé visas. So, it wasn't anything like the University i came from.

In fact it was far from it, in terms of the students. I liked them because they were nice and not pretentious.

First day of class was..well..quite the turnout. We had a quick tour of the library.

That's Christopher, the librarian/tutor in blue

We went back up to our classroom and started with our lessons.

I learned about the German Buschtabe(alphabet), Begrüßung(greetings), etc.

Wie ist Ihr name? Mein Name ist ______.

What is your name? My name is _____.

Wie heißen Sie? Ich heiße _____.

How are you called? My name is _____.

Wer sind Sei? Ich bin _____.

Who are you? I am _____.

Wer ist das? Das ist _____.

Who is that? That is _____.

Wer sind das? Das sind ____ und ____.

Who are they? These are ____ and ____.

I didn't expect class to be this much fun and easy. Easy maybe 'cause we're just learning the basics now. I'll bite my tongue now. It's too soon for me to say "easy".

This is the entrance to my school (Goethe-Institut Manila)

My class ended at 12 and i had lunch with my former officemates at the resto right near the entrance to my school. I love seeing these girls!

Shirene splitting the bill

Sorry i don't have photos in class. Cellphones are not allowed inside. I'll try to take pics tomorrow during the 30 minute break.

Shiiiit! I'm excited for tomorrow's lessons!!
