I dunno! I never SCUBA DOVE before...

Last night was supposed to be a "review night" for PIL but since everyone was so devastated after the TAX Exam, we sorta impliedly decided that it was gonna be a "CHILL OUT" night. Patty and Joan decided to watch ALL ABOUT LOVE while Ces, Haze and I decided to laugh the night off... then Rach came and the night became more interesting.

Of course the desert that is Joan's place was rained on by the presence of Jojo Miggy and Carlo who entertained us for about an hour.

[Joan stood up while we were chatting to check out the noisy
people outside]
Carlo: O, Joan... san ka pupunta?
[aburido tone]
Ces: Possessive a.
Euns: Yihee, bagong love team.
Carlo: Baka kasi may bibilin sya, ako na lang ang bibili.

Un na, Joan found a willing victim in her own series of backyard romance stories.

And of course, the ultimate loveteam for the night, the Juday and Ryan of Law School... Patty and Sep did not fail to entertain us. I felt so kilig merely looking at them. Thanks Sep for that half bottle of Red Horse.

It was ultimately a fun fun fun fun night that everyone deserved, I guess. Now, at 4 in the afternoon, i haven't even started studying for PIL. And that makes me a "pabayang bata" but to everyone who's gonna judge me, I am just gonna say.... "I dunno... I never SCUBA DOVE before!"

On Euns' and Haze's Churva Sessions

Ces: Ok lang magtampi-tampisaw, kahit nga snorkeling ok lang e... wag lang
un tipong nags-scuba diving na kayo jan.

Euns: Tama, bawal sumabmarine.

Ces: Ako nga nag-iipon lang ng seashells sa pampang e. Na-sunburn na nga ako di man lang ako nabasa.

Euns: Si Hazel nga, basang basa na un ulo. Di basta tampisaw.

OPEN-ENDED STORY

"Baka may iba pala syang gusto?"
"Hello? Duh!"

It's weird, everybody's sure that he at least likes me, but I guess mere assurance from people indirectly involved is never enough. From one issue to another, I think that's how our non-relationship is destined to be.

"Magpahinga ka muna. Kakatapos mo lang sa last issue,
di ka na nakakarecover."

I am scared, now that it's sort of clear that HE can be the "HE" that I'm waiting for, I'm afraid that I might not be the "SHE" that he has in mind. If one's gonna ask me about what we have, all I am really sure of is that we're friends, really good friends. No matter how "obvious" they think his actions are, I can't seem to find it in my heart to strongly BELIEVE. A few of my friends tell me that I'm too cynical for my own sake but as much as I want to enjoy the "pagtatampisaw" and feeling of one-sidedly wanting him, sometimes I am attacked by my own insecurities. A lot of women are better than me and I always feel that the men I begin to have romantic feelings for deserve someone better. At the back of my mind, I always feel that I am OUT OF MY LEAGUE.

It's not something that I am proud of, it is true that I have a lot to give but I don't know if I can ever be enough. I didn't know if the EUNICE that I am is capable of being loved amidst all my imperfections and moments of insanity.

There are numerous moments when I want to look him in the eye and tell him that he need not look, I want him to realize that at this point in my life, I am quite sure that I have slowly fallen for him, deeply. Then I am reminded of the infinitely many times that I made a fool of myself by letting my feelings known and by merely giving in. I know I should feel, at least, a li'l happier that one cloud has been cleared.

Yet I feel so sure that it's but another OPEN-ENDED STORY.

FINALS = INSANITY

Patty: Love ano yan? [pertaining to the Chai Tea]
Love: Lupa...
Patty: Taba ng talangka juice?

Beanstalk: Ngayong panahon ng finals, kapag napapagod na
ako,
naalala ko ang mga salita ng isang sikat na kaibigan natin. Kahit ano
mangyari parati syang nakangiti. At dahil friend din kita euns, at sabog na
ako, ish-share ko sayo. Sabi ni Jollibee, "Kaya mo, Kid." Words to live
by.

Euns:Aww, thanks Beanstalk. Para kang rexona, you never let
me down. At ang law school, parang Max's lang, "Sarap to the bones." Pero
sabi nga ni Inday Badiday, "Saranghambida." at sundin natin si Kuya Germs,
"Walang tulugan." Galingan natin kasi, "Great things start from small
beginnings." sabi ng Milo.

Beanstalk: Sabi nga ni Rufa Mae, "Todo na'to"

Euns: At sabi ni Ruffa G., "Take it, take it

TAMA KA...

Sabi nga ng cute na cute na batang kilala ko, BAWAL MAG-LIE. I'll keep that in mind.

BAWAL MAG-LIE.

Baka kasi magmukmok pa un bata sa backseat habang hawak hawak un mga straw nyang binabad sa alcohol.

Sabi ko rin sa kanya na di ko na sasabihin ang word na UNFAIR. Kaya isusulat ko na lang. UNFAIR. =P

Pero BAWAL TALAGA MAG-LIE. Bawal na bawal.
