close call

graduation pictorial on monday & i still don't have a creative shot. maybe i'll pose as Hermione? HAHA! or Emily the Strange. i've been looking for a wig like Emily's hair but wigs cost way too much for just one time use.

my friends & i had lunch at Oody's. i love their Pad Thai! i was craving for it for dinner. my mother makes Pad Thai & thinking about her cooking Thai food makes me miss her Som Tum (Papaya Salad), fish cakes, & crispy fish with mango salad! she had a lot of Thai friends in Myanmar & they taught each other how to cook. she was with the ASEAN Ladies Association (or something like that) & they used to hold tea parties, bazaars, & cooking lessons. i remember how i used to love it when she came home from one of those cooking sessions. she would bring home different kinds of food-- Malaysian, Indonesian, Burmese, Thai, etc. enough about food.

i'm not used to not doing anything anymore. like now. i know i should be somehow working on my 4000 word seminar paper but i lack sources. so tomorrow apple & i are going to the Main Library at diliman in hopes of getting research done. i've been too busy that blogging has been at the back of my mind. i don't even have time to think about things i WANT to think about because lately, i've been only thinking about things that i NEED to think about. get it?

during the exam today for professor Mateo, i fell asleep for a few minutes. imagine that? how horrifying! i even dreamt that some girl at the back row got my blue book & copied my answers. then when i finally snapped out of it i realized that i was in the middle of taking an exam! plus, i got only 2 pages of what was supposed to be 3 pages of the exam. so when i finished early... apple & the rest were talking about the exam & i kept wondering why i didn't come across those questions. before they told the answers, i was already in panic mode. it took me a few seconds until i finally realized that i only had two pages instead of three pages of the long exam & that i completely wasn't able to answer the rest of the multiple choice questions! so i went back to professor mateo & she checked my questionaire & true enough! there were only two pages!!! no wonder i was surprised to see that there were only 5 multiple choice questions! so i went back to my seat & answered the part that i missed. phew! close call!

now i'm really sleepy. i'll go ahead & hop under the covers because i only had little hours of sleep last night & i had whole day classes today.
