TGIF!

Sure glad it's Friday. I'm tired. Need to rest. I'm drained. I need my bed. And my sweet-smelling pillows.

I'm so lazy at work right now. I had a lot of stop-gaps and dilly-dallying. Yep. Lost in space.

Watched Scooby-Doo and The Sum of All Fears - two days in a row.

Matthew Lillard rocked as Shaggy in Scooby.

Ben Affleck for the Sum of All Fears, on the other hand, should thank God that he was made handsome. There is no iota of Thespianism flowing in his veins.

I'll be hitting the gym in a while. I don't even have enough energy left to write.

That's what Xs' are for

My X from California has been calling me recently. I heard she's in-between relationships right now.
And yes, I wrote that one right. It's a she.

You have a problem with that?

Anyways, before any bloodshed, here's a brief backgrounder. Although we had a bad falling out, we decided that the world is too small to have a lot of enemies. We patched things up and became really good friends eversince. Long distance man o hindi.

During holidays and any events in our lives, we call each other up. Although she calls me more often. Hehehe. Daymn! The overseas call charges are way, way up there, man!

Anyways, I asked her a small favor of scouting the L.A. market for a good MP3 player. Minimum requirement is it has at least 64 mb in it, expandable and with equalizers.

She said she has one and will just send the thing to me since she's not using it anymore. She offered it twice.

Well, I didn't ask for her to do that. But I'm taking it, anyway.

I'm crossing my fingers she's really sending it here.

User-friendly.

Not!

Heck, that's what Xs' are for.

Sabi ko na nga ba.

I am still a closet nerd.

Tinatamad akong magtrabaho.
Dahil gusto kong umupo sa isang tabi,
uminom ng kape,
magbasa,
mag-highlight ng notes,
sumulat sa notebook,
mag-aral.

After all these years,
nerd pa rin ako.

Parang naririnig ko na ang hirit
ng mga AS friends ko.

"Abril, if you don't have a boyfriend,
and if you don't have a life, we'll
think you're a freak."

"How come you get those grades when
we cut the same classes, watch the same
movies and hang out at about the same
time at the AS steps?"

Di nila alam,
kapag di ko sila kasama,
nerd ako.
Nakaupo sa isang sulok.
Nagbabasa.
Nag-aaral.

Hahahaha!

Shit.

I am indeed a closet nerd.
