yehey update!

i haven't been paying attention to the blog lately because i have no time. yes, Gail the Mad Blogger doesn't have time to BLOG. i can't even get up and switch on the computer just to check mails and whatever that needs to be checked or updated. internet life has been stagnant and i think it will stay that way for quite a while.

today after school i met up with my sister and mother at the mall. i took the Project 6 FX to SM North because that's where they were to pay bills & go to the bank. anyway... i got dropped off at the overpass. you know, one of those pink and blue MMDA footbridges that you can't help but be scared of. like for instance, this afternoon while i was walking along the bridge over EDSA i watched the cars swoosh by. not only cars but buses and trucks swooshed by too. i imagined myself falling from the footbridge (because only LORD knows how unsafe the bridge is) & being crushed to death and smashed to bits. it was scary, i tell you. i was so scared that i wanted to run all the way down the steps & to the entrance which would take me inside the mall. i have morbid thoughts like that once in a while and sometimes it isn't pretty at all.

then in the afternoon i went to Pasig's city proper again. i went to the barangay hall and met with the Barangay Captain. i, Gail Monique Limcumpao, declare that from now on I AM THE BIGGEST FAN OF PASIGUEñOS! why? because they're such hospitable people! everyone! it's amazing! if you've heard of the fact that Filipinos are known for their hospitality, the Pasigueños will prove that to you. people at the City Hall, the Barangay Hall, the public market... even passersby and traffic enforcers! so yes, today was fruitful and i'm so happy i was productive.

i forgot my film camera & digicam. so i used the phone instead because we're required to have a picture taken:

IDOL KO SI KAP!



the ride home was horrible because it rained heavily. think BIG FAT DROPLETS OF RAIN. i enjoyed looking out the window of the backseat & listening to it pour. it even lulled me to sleep. you see, i have a big fluffy pillow at the backseat all the time for rides home when i'm too tired to stay up on the way to Q.C. traffic jam was horrifying you wouldn't believe how long we were stuck somewhere in EDSA. but i slept through it all. HEHE. my sister and kuya john are enjoying my Pasig trips HAHA! seriously, they enjoy going to Pasig with me. two trips down, two more to go.

about the past weekend, it was sooopa fun because the freshies had their teambuilding. the juniors and seniors facilitated it. we spent the morning at NEDA building at school then moved to the Paco Park. it was my first time there and i love the place. it's a small park with crypts in the walls. er, i think my description of the place won't justify the beauty of the place (or at least i thought so). plus, the entrance is only 5 pesos! i stayed the whole day for the teambuilding and i enjoyed every single second of it because i had fun. plus, it was a great feeling welcoming the freshmen to OrgASM (Organization of Area Studies Majors). oh come on, don't be a baby and gasp at the name like that. :P

then on Sunday i had to wake up early because my family and i went on a road trip to Laguna then to Tagaytay. i had a great time! at Tagaytay we had lunch and my parents went to the market. it was a tiring day for all of us but the road trip was fun. i know where i got my i-love-roadtrips attitude. I GOT IT FROM MY PARENTS! we even dropped by Robinson's Place for Razon's Halo Halo because when my mother craves, SHE REALLY CRAVES! so yes, Sunday was Q.T. (Quality Time) for the family. hehe!

so yeah... i've been tired for the whole week. i don't know where get my energy. so now i'm going to do a bunch of school work because i've been putting it off for so long that i need to catch up on working on the revisal of my thesis proposal, notes in econ, & prof talampas's seminar paper. i'm also going to write prof karganilla's paper tonight on the Barangay Hall because tomorrow i'm going to go training for boxing again =) my mother's going to buy me my own pair of gloves because those that are lent at the gym stink!

signing off...

xoxo,
