.:. Wla msbi.. .:.
my room was still a mess, clothes scattered here and there, misplaced chairs, an upturned readers digest, my burmese bag on the floor and papers, results, a spoon and a cup all splurged on the table...
a small ray of light peaks in through the curtains i never fail to close at night while clothes spill out of never closed closets..ah...the stench of my room, what better way to wake up..
its easy to shake my boxers off and run naked to the CR, forgetting my towel...yeah, i knew was late and the rumbling in my tummy tells me that it is going to be one hard morning, i missed breakfast. Oh well, theres plenty of work to do in the lab and for the past 4 days, thats all ive been doing, day in, day out..thesis thesis thesis...
This is how it is, my daily rountine. Well, i wake up usually the earliest among the 6 other people who i share my hectic life here at AVRDC, after a long hot shower, id race to Dr. Engle's Residence, the kind Dr. E who ive told you about that lends us her kitchen, dining table, ref and everything in it (well, of course we do the cooking and the dishing..while she, as easy as she is pleased, compliments every dish prepared...)...At Dr. E's, breakfast is usually bread, butter, grape/blueberry jam (or whatever jam we'd find in the ref) and Coffee..that would be about 7am, and work is just 45 minutes away...by the time, i arranged the table, filled the kettle and had her whisting, the others would be drying them sleepy asses and putting on some decent clothes...well, i cant blame them, who wouldnt after sleeping at 1am or 2am....so when everythings set... i call in the manner like so...
dial 880, "aiza, pnta k n d2...kumain k na" "d p ako nka ligo" "ok lng yan, kmi din...bilis pnta k n d2 huh"...
dial 879, "kat!...pnta k n d2, breakfast is done...bilis" "ok im putting on my clothes now..."
dial 878, "hoy babae ka, where were you last night?...kumain k n d2..." "kkgcng ko lng, d p ako nkligo" "eh so? kmi din eh, bsta pnta k n d2 and eat, mia, ha?...bilis bilis..."
dial 877 "Abriel....i thot i knew you, once again, you used me...oi...lets eat..." "ha! ndi p ako nkligo..." "ok lng yan, ako din eh...bsta pnta k n d2, kaw nlng kulang..."
dial 875 ring...ring...ring...ring "Wei? kantin..." *drops reciever.....
dial 882 "hoy manne...gcing na!" "eh tntmad ako.." "cge na..you have to eat...icge na..bagon n" "cge, prepare kau ng coffee" "ang kapal ng mukha mo...bhla k..wag k n pumnta d2!!!" *drops reciever*
pone rings "Nei How Mah?" "hoy jasper...kapal din ng mukha mo!" "Wei?"
well, today morning, i didnt have breakfast...sad. real sad...
at work, first thing i do is place my bag on my table and switch my computer on..
then i walk into the lab and do work..
at breaks, when the automated part of my experiments gives me the chance to come back to my office and wait, say, 15-30 minutes, id seat in front of the computer, w/c automatically logs in on YM, AIM, Chikka, and checks mail upon boot...and chat, check email...chat, reply email, friendster..blog, if the timed 30 minutes hasnt set off the timer's alarm.
before i know it, its luch break...11:30...by that time, its either i send to every one in my AVRDC group in my YM, "lets eat" or someone drops a lines and sezs "kain tau..."...
well, i was hungry..
and i couldnt resist telling the chinese dude to keep on adding more rice...4 cups i guess, so it was a really huge pile...Ian couldnt stop laughing. When the dude gave it to the chinese gal next to him, the one who'd place the ulam..she went "whaaat?" extremely shocked at how much a thin guy like me can take on....guttony b un?
oh well, i pointed at the tempting chicken curry then i pointed to another dish that was just as tempting..i was wanting to get some macaronni...pero nhiya ako...sobrng loaded ang plato ko..prng buffet. oh well...58 NT.
by the time i finished, i was really really full..,.sbi ko sa sarili ko, grabeh..if i keep this up....ttba tlga ako...
it was amazing i got to walk 100 yards to the lab despite my full full stomach..lol. oh well...
by now youd think im halfway through...hahaha...hell no...
but well as of this post. it ends here...it 4pm, and amazingly i have no more work for the day. WEll, actually i have to come back to the lab at 7pm...but thats still 3 hours away and i think i want some shuteye...im still full from lunch..lol.
losing my grip. [3:31 PM]
