Jimmy, from now on, you stay away from me. I have wasted thousands and thousands of kisses on you. Kisses I thought were special because of your lips and your smile and all your color and life. I thought that was the real you when you smiled. But now I know that you don't mean any of it and you just save it all for your songs. Shame on me for kissing you with my eyes closed so tight.
- Fae from That Thing You Do
Sunday mornings are usually devoted to a bit of contemplation and reflection about the passing week. That has always been some kind of a ritual, allowing me some kind of comfort and refuge to handle the week ahead.
The past three weeks have been academically trying. Late-nights with around less than 4 hours of sleep every day are all very normal. And the December weather together with my long, long breaks only add up to more moments left for added contemplation, reflection and maybe come academic condemnation.
I wonder what’s in the December air that everyone seems to be succumbing to their emo-ridden selves. Lately, I’ve been hanging out with my blockmates and we usually end up discussing life’s trivial questions – what ifs, what nots, the all-too complicated matters of the heart (thank you Scott Peck). I really don’t mind. In a way, there is a sense of relief, thrill, and comfort derived from appeasing my blockmates’ feelings. I also get that chance to know some of them better and that becomes an exciting process. I also find myself victimizing them with Anberlin’s Inevitable. Thank you, bff. It is all very amusing to see how that song never fails to hit them.
The anticipation of the nearing holidays is all too fleeting. Although it stirs up much warmth and glee, the workload left for us till the very end is overwhelming. I guess I’m just going to try and enjoy every bit of it. Yesterday, my family and I went to the World Bazaar at the World Trade Center, which meant I got to come home with bags of new stuff for Christmas. Later on, we headed to SM Mall of Asia to meet up with my mom’s college friends and dormmates. While having dinner, I couldn’t help but be delighted at seeing all of them happily go down memory lane. I wonder how that would be like with my blockmates. We’re all hopefully lawyers, diplomats, politicians, professors, researchers, analysts, people part of the bureaucracy(haha.), etc. It’s really interesting to see what we all could be like.
But we have to survive the present still. Coming into the second sem our junior year is all very challenging – mentally, physically and emotionally. I, myself have been avoiding any complications that can affect my academic standing. Last semester was all very emotional enough. I’m happy as it is – allowing some kind of selfish time by dealing and thinking about myself first.
Unfortunately, things get pretty interesting by the day. Ayoko pa.
