goodbyes and a tear

said goodbye to a lot of stuff this week:

my month-old glasses after a sober drinking session
my phone's lights and its screen's middle part
my 10-hour-sleep nights
my dvds, some of them
my clean fingernails 'cause i can't find my nailcutters
my secret visits to the neighborhood goldilock's or mcdonald's
my wifi router that i won't need or
my own bedroom and comfort room i've grown so accustomed to
my telling the village guard i need a cab
my tito and tita and their two kids

whose departure actually made me cry,
which is interesting 'cause the last time i cried
was when my grandpa died 2 years ago.

i will miss them but they're just 2 hours away.
bangkok will be nicer with them around.

and with that goodbye i say hello to katipunan
where i will be staying
for the rest of my ateneo life
which will hopefully, though sadly too, end in march

i am not fully ready to move out just yet though by saturday i should be, otherwise i'll have to wear unwashed clothes or sleep in the streets. but my mom is around and she's helping me out.

some teeny-weeny part of my academics need help too.
especially the cutting-even-if-it's-but-two-weeks-to-the-sem part.

what a school year.

lisnin to ateneans typing in the computer lab at the library
sortof readin JAPANESE stuff for JAPANESE class that i'm not attending for no good JAPANESE reason.
feelin kinda hopeful.
