trike it.

in all my barely 3 years of stay here in Ateneo, i have never heard anyone ask someone/anyone if they wanted to "trike it" referring to riding the tricycle to get to a certain destination. i heard two conyo girls use it the other day and i found it catchy which is why i used it for this post's title.

but the title has barely anything to do with what im supposed to talk about-- which is, are a lot of things. and because of that i dont know where to start. 

in any case,

first. there's this thing about my first week of school and how ive got some kick ass professors! one very beautiful and i actually have a girl crush on her and the others legendary to the point of boredom. 

second. on Ateneo's increasingly increasingly increasingly doubled--rather tripled student population. the school is jam packed like never before! i guess its the effect of having summer classes because you only see a few souls in school but this year, i just really feel like there is something completely different about the school and the campus. like the school's been swarmed by pests, locusts--ants, only in the form of people.

third. with my loner much of a college junior life. i am sooo alone. its so sad but fun in a way. every walk and every destination is a moment of reflection. emo much. my only refuge--OSCI. its air conditioned and if you really get lucky, there's also gonna be free food! wahaha. plus you get to hangout with crazy people.

fourth. my new fascination and newly acquired expertise in paper cutting. you know the one you use with the big cutter thing that has a bolo-like blade attached to a metal with measurements much like a ruler. i love it. especially the "swoosh click" slick sound it makes when you use it properly. im actually the "Putol queen" now and i find it rather fulfilling. haha. nobody can work that thing like i do. wahaha.

fifth. my new roommate whom i dont talk much to/with. we never really talk. at all. unless its really necessary and every time i try to start a conversation she never really reacts. NR much. whatevs. 

sixth. the insanely insanely expensive books required by all my subjects. in freshie and sophie years, i could get away with not buying books by borrowing and/or photocopying but due to forsaken events, i cant really do that anymore. im gonna have to BUY and theyre really expensive. a pocket-book sized (and paged) law book costs 400++ pesos and according to my professor, the price is increasing by the week. my allowance is nearly depleted just thinking about it. haha.

seventh. speaking of books, i have a massive amount of reading assignments from all my subjects that's why i have to buy ALL my books this week or im doomed. apparently, they will all give quizzes on our next meetings--basically, thats all next week. 

eighth. on my increasing ability or rather maturity over matters with a certain sumhuwan. im proud to say im actually not being that much bothered by sumhuwan anymore. with the way things are now, in the past, i would have actually died in frustration, emotional stress and insecurity but right now im surprised at myself for handling things quite well. sumhuwan  and everything it does or doesn't do doesn't bother me anymore. at all.

ninth. on my determination to make thee best of my remaining years here in Ateneo. i realized i have always been depressed because i was far away from home, friends and family but now i have come to the resolve that in two years time, im gonna have to go back anyway and so im gonna have to make the most of the time i have left here in Ateneo, which come to think of it is still a long time to go.

tenth. my dorm building has actually been sold to another owner. i dont know what it actually means yet but i, gonna find out soon, hopefully and i just pray that things would remain the same even if the management's new and i hope they keep all the arrangements i have with my soon-to-be previous landlords. 

basically, that is it.

remember when the distance is long (and far) and the sun is in full heat-- trike it.
