O me miserum!

i'm not feeling any better. in fact, it has gotten worse. the right side of my face is swollen. it looks like i took a golf ball into my mouth and placed it at the right side of my cheek. to make things worse, it's practicum enrollment tomorrow which means that i have be at school early in the morning. tomorrow hasn't started yet but i wish it was already over and done with so i can finally retreat to the security of my home and let the wound heal here. i'd rather be a hermit for a few days than have people stare at me inconsiderately and think that i might have a disease that's contagious or something. well, they can scram and stare all they want but they should not insult me. not when i feel great pain (especially when i'm off painkillers) because i'll wipe the rude looks off their faces. okay, i'm kidding. but really. i just might do that when i get pissed off (yeah, right).

the fruit of boredom: i downloaded Scrabble from Yahoo Games. it was fun but each time i lose i blame the computer opponent. who wouldn't? of course the computer opponent knows all the tricky Scrabble words! okay. i'll stop now. hehe. afterall, it did amuse me even if the game lasted for just an hour (unless i purchase the game online).

as the reality of the beginning of practicum draws near, i still haven't prepared for work at all. i still haven't shopped for working clothes (everyone knows that all i have are shirts and jeans... no button down shirts or slacks... well, maybe just a few pieces). i should have went last week when my face wasn't swollen but knowing myself, i tend to postpone until the last minute-- a trait that i want to do away with. by the way, Spongebobe Squarepants is already showing and Finding Neverland too! too bad i still look like a freak. otherwise i would ask my sister to watch with me tomorrow. one week. one frickin' week before i look normal.

sigh

O me miserum!

or rather, WOE IS ME!

something i wrote today because, again, i was bored. i don't know how it will go on, though. mwahaha.

Rain trickled as she waited for him at the park. She arrived an hour earlier than they had planned because she couldnt sleep. The events of the past night kept replaying over and over inside her head. She could still see the fire in his eyes, forehead wrinkled as he looked at her in anger. she couldnt stop herself from sobbing. She pleaded for him to stay as he proceeded towards the door but deep inside, she knew him very well to know that nothing would stop him from barging out that door. He left her there in the cold dark room. She decided to stay for a while and let her sobs subside until she left the place.

The park was bright and sunny when she arrived. The flowers bloomed, the breeze blew gently enveloping her and making her hair tousle from its caress. The sky was cloudy and there was no sign of rain. Until it started to get gloomy. Gray clouds settled in within the hour and rain started to pour in. Amelia hugged herself as it was getting slightly cold. She debated with herself whether to seek shelter from a coffee shop around the corner outside the park or just stay where she stood just in case he arrives on time.


er, the point? i don't know. but maybe i can cook up a short story from this. who knows? hehe.

Hey Gail,

That short piece you wrote was really interesting... send me a copy of the story when you finally get around to writing it, haha... I'm looking forward to reading it :-P

Hope that the swelling has at least subsided today and that you're feeling better :-)

You know what, for the longest time, I couldn't figure out what 'YM' was, haha... then it finally clicked when you wrote that entry today/yesterday, Yahoo Messenger, I guess YM isn't as popular here as it is MSN, haha...

Anyway, gotta head off to the library to study, I'll ttyl,

God bless!

Gail,

Finding Neverland is a cool date movie. I like Kate W. and Depp btw so I am sort of biased. Have you seen The Girl with the Pearl Earring? If not, I highly recommend it.

Take it easy.
