Downhill

I think this is the time where I get the reality check. Just when you think everything's going to be alright... there's always this ridiculous circumstance that brings me down.

My grades are low...and I just couldn't bear the fact na summer na nga lang, mababa pa grades ko. It didn't seem right. I know I have two subjects and a course that just requires research and critique (no classes), I don't have enough reason why I should have low grades. Saying that it's summer and I'm not in the mood to study is VERY WEAK. Sus! Kahit hindi naman summer, may times na wala ako sa mood mag-aral.

And where am I? Yesterday, Saturday, I only got up to eat! Sobrang baboy talaga. And I'm not exaggerating. I slept after eating breakfast and slept after lunch. I've got a migraine from too much sleep. I never felt so lethargic in my life. But it was so hot I didn't want to move at all. I'm taking baths twice a day and I still can't get the sticky feeling out of my system. I can never get used to the humid, tropical weather that is my country.

But despite all this, I'm glad for the simple nothings that's been happening all this time. I go out with my mom, I fetch my sister from ACP training, I listen to my favorite music from my iPod, tumble in the sheets with Pagong, text my friends using SUN, meet my friends in class (they're the ones who make classes tolerable) and read their bible (yes, I'm trying to convert to their idolatric ways), the list goes on and on...

Hey, when I think about it, I've got more reasons to smile than frown...and frowning causes wrinkles.
