stay-at-home body

the more I think of how close I am to finishing the term, the more I start to feel as if the weeks are going by slower. I have a teaching presentation due on monday, to be presented to a 5th grade class on thursday. Sometimes, on really dismal semestres such as this one, I wish that I had a stunt double. I’d let him do all of the dirty work, while I stay at home and wait for him to tell me how his day went. Completely rested, of course.

I’d make a good homebody.

learning like a mofo

I think the stress from the semestre is slowing building up, and that awful queasy feeling of being so full of paperwork, that if I were to vomit, a recycled research paper would probably be regurgitated from from my mind, crumpled and all. There must be something in my unconscious mind that my inner procrastinator is trying to tell me, but he usually waits until the last minute. Bastard. Somehow, I feel that I’m going to exhaust myself even more these next few months.

Add oil.

delighting me always

I had an amasing cajun dinner tonight courtesy of Jean Ann and Rob. I don’t know how Layla and I can ever thank them for being so wonderful. Perhaps more food? Haha, despite my discriminating chinese palate, it’s obvious that I don’t really pay much attention to places that serve american food. I’ve always passed by the place and wondered if I would be better off eating something asian, only to realise that I’ve been missing out. The place is kinda dead, but there was something really comforting about being the only ones in the restaurant for most of the evening. And aside from half of the livestock from the southern united states being served at our table, there was enough room for dessert, and lots of laughs. Thanks once again Jean Ann and Rob~^^

no space for glancing

I don’t know how quite to explain it, but I have always had an attraction towards particular traits in people that I meet. They usually convey those traits in ways that catch my attention, and tend to remain at the back of my mind for weeks, if not months at a time. Carl Jung’s concept of the collective unconscious has always stood out to me. How one sees qualities in another that are inherently present in oneself, but are also unbeknownst to oneself.

Unrelenting in my mind is the pursuit to metamorphose those particular traits into something meaningful. The proximity between myself and herself is insignificant, and is measured in glances.

lucid living, and dreaming in between

I slept for 16hrs since yesterday evening. I think that was my body’s way of telling me I should really stop this nursing school thing. Just kidding. Though, I really should get more sleep, but my circadian rhythm has been all over the place this semestre. The good news is that in less than a week, it’ll all be over. My final exam is on the 16th of May, from 9am ‘til death, and I can only imagine how much sleep I’ll be getting then.

I didn’t have much luck my first time eating at the Lighthouse today during lunch hour. No parrot fish worth eating, because after all, size does matter (with fish anyway), and I wasn’t ready to spend USD $21.00 for a fish less than the size of my forearm, and considered large, or ‘largey, ’ as the Korean owner likes to put it. I suppose I can lose my virginity to eating succulent morsels of parrot fish another time. At least, that’s how people describe the experience to me…

The allure of this place, in my opinion, is the service, because it sucks. I like to think of the owner as a one man tag team. He’s the owner, the busboy, cashier, waitstaff, and complaint department, all rolled into a nice sizzling bowl of bibimbap. Somehow, I’m determined to get a ‘largey’ parrot fish for half the price. USD $10.50 is a lot of money in this economy of ours. China hasn’t taken over yet…and even at that, I could at least get it for USD $8.00!!

In my dreams! :)
The picture is not (directly) related. I took it while on holiday this xmas. Happy belated xmas and new year!!
