This way to the stars

I'm ok now

I'm ok. I'm ok. I'm OK.

Mom and Dad both sympathized with me over this Lola issue, and they both said the same thing: just ignore her. It's not worth getting on her bad side, because she might just spread her gossipy much-doctored sad story from her side to the whole family such that they'll see me as an arrogant, disrespectful, ungrateful, and spoiled BRAT. Which I am not. I'm just looking out for myself and my siblings.

But this is not going to be Much Ado About Nothing, Part 2.

In fact, this day was actually tolerable, apart from the phone line busting and I had to go to an expensive internet cafe so that I could email my mom and send my research for the lab report to my groupmate in botany.

Ate KC actually got around to cooking my long-desired yet elusive spaghetti with meatballs, WITHOUT interference from my dear Lola (which is a first!). Maybe mom and dad talked to them and set things right for us.

It was our first session in PE 131 (Taekwondo) today. Though it was hot and humid in the martial arts room with my uniform on, we mostly did the easy basics: kicking, punching, stretching, etc. It wasn't hard for me at all because I already know them (and I've done them more times and under more extreme circumstances), though I think my other classmates got really exhausted after the lesson. Plus, by a fascinating twist of fate, my teacher is Coach Jec, my taekwondo instructor in Megamall. Coolers!

We've got a quiz and a homework in botany, though it's not as heavy as the legendary PILES of homework I had to sift through and accomplish during my days in St. Paul. In fact, I'm finding college life rather loose and easy - but EXPENSIVE. We just had word that our blessed Botany book is going to cost a whopping P2000, and we'll only be using it for one blasted semester. Cripes.

I'll go and fill my plate with heaps of that long-desired spaghetti with meatballs. My mouth waters at the thought! Finally, no tocino-like messes for dinner!
