i've been overly-stressed, detached, tired, and irritable lately. not only that but i haven't been as enthusiastic as regards food as i normally am. and i think i know why. i blame it on the nasty, humid, pre-rain weather (ok, maybe i'm being unfair. i guess i could attribute some of my stress to acads, etc. haha). but really, heat and humidity do crazy things to me and in turn, i transform into my evil otherself. and when my evil otherself takes the reins, well, everything goes awry. i wake up and suddenly, the world doesn't seem to be a very happy place anymore. i get angry. and sad. and not very hungy (although i do get super thirsty).

or maybe i'm just trying to justify my not-too-pleasant disposition lately. hahaha. :s

in any case, thank goodness the rain has come. it has this cooling, cleansing, and calming effect i can't seem to explain very well.

could this be a sign for better things ahead? i know i'm basing my hopes on something totally unconnected and unfounded but i think i've had enough. i need better days. a lot of them. :)

can i just rant? i was on my way home from school today and was waiting for the traffic light to turn green on the edsa-santolan intersection. then suddenly this guy on some sort of motorcyle with a very annoying loud siren stops right in the middle of the intersection and motions to the cars trailing him to go ahead (take note: they were supposed to be waiting for the light to turn green before going like everyone else). i expected it to be some politician whose life is just too busy that he/she can't even wait for a traffic light to turn green (note the sarcasm), which, incidentally is a pet peeve of mine. but lo and behold, the none of cars from the entourage that followed motorcycle man did not have a single government license plate. all vehicles were private. yet another pet peeve. i'm not saying that government vehicles have a better right to break traffic rules that private ones (i am pertaining to the owner/driver not the vehicles per sé. hehe), but REALLY. who do they think they are?

one of my most vivid memories was a family vacation in gotëborg, sweden when i was twelve years old. as we were walking, we noticed a politician's vehicle which stopped as soon as the traffic light turned red. it actually waited (once again, i'm pertaining to the driver/owner/whoever has control over the vehicle rather than the vehicle itself. hehe) for the light to turn green before going ahead. my mom was quick to comment that sadly, we don't see things like that happen here in the philippine. we often take little things like traffic lights and sometimes even traffic rules in general for granted, but i believe it's the little things that count. a politician who actually manifests respect for the laws in spite of her/his standing is admirable because there is that acknowledgement that she/he, like every other person is expected to follow them and no exceptions should be granted, albeit in a de facto manner, because of "social position or rank."

rant #2: my friend camille sent me a text message inviting me to dinner in her lolo's house because bizu is catering there tonight. it took ALL (and i mean ALL) the discipline and self-control i could muster to decline her invitation thanks to the pile (and i mean PILE) of cases waiting to be read by yours truly. a couple of weeks ago, i attended a similar function in her lolo's place. her family's opening a venue for weddings and other functions and are checking out caterers to accredit who in turn have been conducting food-tasting mini-events. my version of paradise. who says no to free catered yummy food? you'd have to be crazy to decline. i guess that means i am. i want bizu. the pastries from there are heavenly... :(

Don't want to shrink in a suit
Don't want live just to suck someones bones dry
I'd rather die."
