not ready to be unplugged

yes, yes... i got this line from her column... happy?

well moving on...

i now declare ms. ruby simundac as my official calendar. this afternoon, as same as in any afternoon that we get to meet, she reminds me that this is my last term in school. ruby would go charmingly, "awww... mamimiss ka namin... wala nang kuya toni..."

sometimes, i just want to say "oh, shut up ruby" and give her a big hug.

i guess the line sums up (however cheezy and silly the line is) whatever feelings i have. i really really want to graduate this year. kung tutuusin, kind na nga yung tawag sa akin ni ruby na "kuya." yung iba nga, "lolo toni" na ang tawag sa akin. (peste ka jj. lalo ka na! kung hindi ka lang mahal ni __ ... yikee!!!) and im also not helping my mother by staying in school this long.

but there is so much to be missed.

of course, there's the perennial school (production) work. there's also the sizzling sisig, inihaw na liempo and sirloin steak. you choose where to eat (basta lang hindi sa "kahit saan"). and the wonderful professors of the communication department. and of course, the site where much of everything in my (college) life took place, the dark room.

most important of all, what i would miss most is my family. mahal ko ang plaridel.

just this evening (until midnight), rc, deeaye, chris, jj and i went to Providence and do some videoke-ing. si rc lang ang may matinong boses sa amin. (oy, tampo si da... sige na nga, maganda din ang boses... ni christian bautista. hahaha. si jj, lumilipad ang isip. e katabi lang naman ang iniisip. yikee. chris, save the best for last. don't be sad, napagod lang yung videoke dahil sa kabibirit ni da kaya 97 lang yung ibinigay niya sayo. hehehe) what was quite heart-warming is when da, chris and rc decided to go and stay at my house. although they never got any farther than Taft Avenue La Salle, for them to come up with such a plan was nothing less than touching. da, chris and rc, salamat sa pagtitiwalang maaalagaan ko kayo sa pagpunta sa amin. okay lang yan. next time na lang. hehehe.)

they are only some of the people in Plaridel who i consider treasure. whole in whole, plaridel people might be the weirdest, strangest, most unpredictable, and quirkiest group one will ever meet, but certainly, they will forever be the most wonderful people on earth. (that includes you, tiny! although technically, di ka tao).

truly, plaridel ako. (or pwede ring, plaridel -- love ko 'to)

para naman hindi masyado drama...

on the funny side, we were on the middle of a discussion in class this afternoon when our professor sighed from nowhere, "i'm bored." it was kind of surprising since she was in fact delivering the lesson quite animatedly. then she goes, "mr. cuesta, you teach." the whole class broke into joke and laughter. i answered smiling, "miss, seryoso ba yan?" she replies, "yes mr. cuesta. you sit here," pointing to the teacher's table before walking to the last chair in the front row, "while i go sit here." then laughter turned to cheers, "go toni! go sir toni!"

and that is how i get to live my dream -- a teacher for a day (20 minutes actually).

sorry, wala masyadong connect. hehehe.
