laziness
i just got off the phone with josh, whom i called in my usual bored state. true to form, i received quite a sermon about getting off my lazy bum and starting to write again, whether in my blog or elsewhere. as i checked my blog, i realized he was right.i didn't realize that it's been exactly a month since i promised myself to start writing again, a whole month of doing nothing but being bored at home with nothing to do. oh don't get me wrong. i have managed to do a couple of things, like watch a couple of sex and the city dvds, pirated dvds of monster in law and herbie, religiously followed the travails of darna and the developments on encantadia and sugo (kapuso pa rin siyempre), and finished reading harry potter and the half blood prince a day after it was released. of course this drove josh up the wall, since according to him, i had to spoil everything by saying someone died (check out josh's blog entry about it).
but this is nothing compared to what i used to do ... like running around chasing interviewees for soundbites and coming up with supposedly well-written and thought-provoking stories. back then, i felt on top of the world, as i was changing history or something. i guess i could still do that here in iloilo, but how, i don't know.

mare, look at it this way. a lot of employees would envy your state of "laziness," having all that time to watch dvd's, read books, do whatever you want. :)
miss mo lang kami... hehehe... miss ka rin namin.
so who's the half-blood prince and who died? i'm not a harry potter fan - i'm a ludlum girl - but since you're not here to spoil things for josh, might as well do it. hehe!
It's always difficult to step into an idyllic quiet slow provincial setting after being immersed 24/7 in metro manila's frenetic pace; I always feel the same way when I go to the province--lazy and bored. I've been to Iloilo and Bacolod and both are beautiful places to visit or retire in (haven't gotten the chance to do the former in awhile and haven't the resources yet to do the latter).
Perhaps Booma or Igan could always use you in field reports from Iloilo to give us updates on stuff like how much does diwal now cost. He he he.
tins,
pathetic no? ngayon ko lang nabasa ang blog ko.
yup, miss ko na nga talaga kayo, kaya lang doing nothing all day can also drive you crazy.
fyi, prof snape is the half-blood prince, and albus dumbledore is the one who died.
but then again, josh already finished the book, so no use spoiling it for him. :)
ted,
diwal now costs P500 to P600 a kilo. mas mahal pa if you order from restaurants. :)
don't worry. i'll be totally adjusted in no time.
