made the trip alone from pangasinan today. mega boring sobra. good thing, i stuffed my bag with butong pakwan (the ultimate puyatan snack) before i left for manila. it gave me something to do minus all the extra calories of regular junk food. aaakkk. kelan pa ko naging diet conscious?
i survived almost a week without tv (may tv kaya lang channel 2 at 7 lang. minsan may channel 9), phone and internet. i almost lost it, but then again, there were loads of disney vcds that kept me intact. 'twas kinda lonely being there particularly in the afternoons when my nephews and niece have gone out to play with the other kids and i was left alone in the house to drown myself in minesweeper (which i have never mastered) and spider solitaire (which i'm currently mastering)and some old cds that kinda grew on me already.
i missed a lot of things when i was there. i missed the American Idol finale. missed blogging and blohopping. missed hours of pointless phone talks. missed truckloads of tv. promise! when i was in the middle of far away land, i swear i'd do anything for cable tv. desperate times call for desperate measures. but sadly, cable was non-existent. :(
and now that i'm back. i'm having this super weird feeling. parang nasusuka na ewan feeling. a week made me kind of used to the probinsya setting, already. fresh air, early bedtimes, silence, trees, lahat. as much as i want to stay there, i have to go home. enrollment's tomorrow. classes start on monday. back to the sick reality i have grown to love.
