wishful thinking

before i begin, i'd like to say na tama na ang pagdrama sa buhay. life's too unpredictable and difficult enough to waste time worrying about things and regretting things said and done. so tama na yung i spent quite a few hours "wallowing" about what i last wallowed. now i've moved on... with a smile :D

tomorrow, friday, starts a three-day weekend for UP-Diliman. holiday sa lungsod na aking pinaglilingkuran (quezon city day) bukas so all classes and work are suspended. baka nga maging four-day weekend pa because Ninoy Aquino day on sunday, and as we are a counry defined by "holiday economics", baka suspended na din ang work sa monday. whatever. doesn't really matter. whether four-day or three-day weekend makes no difference, either way I STILL HAVE TO CHECK 150 MIDTERM ESSAY EXAMS, ergo, there is no weekend for me to speak of. which makes me think, bakit ko pa nabanggit-banggit dito ang weekend na ito eh sasama lang ang loob ko. oh well...


work i need to be doing... a.k.a. my "social life" this weekend


...what i'd rather do

don't worry about me, though. i am finding ways of amusing myself. lately i've been caught up with a 28-year-old canadian named michael bublé. oh, hindi love affair to ha! naging fan lang po ako. in a span of three weeks i've bought all of his audio CD's plus one VCD. i became a fan of this guy immediately after i heard him for the first time. i "met" michael (uy, first name basis... wish ko lang ano) while waiting for ate abbie at tower records SM north edsa (nag-cutting ako from UP hihihi). i saw this HUGE poster for his new album, It's Time (click here for amazon.com reviews) and thought... hmmm, mapakinggan nga. his first crooning (right into my ear, kasi nakaearphones ako) went like this: "you give your hand to me... and then you said hello..." sighh... pa-gwapuhin ba ang ray charles staple na "you don't know me"????!!! hayyyy.... gosh, i am gushing na ata... okay okay... (composing myself).

so i am a fan. just how much of a fan i am will be tested in the coming months as "bublé" (as his band calls him... how endearing ano) will be COMING TO MANILA (!!!) on october 12 for a one night only gig at the araneta coliseum. i have been so excited about this for the last two days and i am rearing to keep the excitement up were it not for harsh reality of this concert's ticket prices: patron-PhP5220, lower box-PhP2871, upper box A-PhP1827, upper box B-PhP836. ohhhmygulay... definitely not within a UP professor's salary range... puro wishful thinking na lang ang beauty ko and i can only sigh... i wish each sigh gave me P10 as i reckon if this were the case, i think i can muster enough sighs from listening to his albums to buy me a patron ticket by the time october comes around. so for the moment i leave you with.... sigh sigh sigh sigh sigh sigh sigh sigh sigh sigh.
