| I started with this blog taking pictures of my fat-riddled face with that cabinet on the background. It was my great-grandmother's and it's one of the irreplaceable items on our house. It's actually older than me, my sister and maybe even my mother. P.S. The sad excuse for a Shishio Makoto mask is so that my face won't burn through the blog |
It's really a bad idea on my part to be going home and not minding all the school work that I have left with all the deadlines approaching. But I have been away from home for two months now, and I was seriously dying inside not being able to relive stress for such a long time.
Last night, I got to play Pokemon X again and have a marathon of The Big Bang Theory season 7. I even got to operate that magical box with moving pictures which looks like a computer with no keyboard (or a large Ipad which does not support touch sensitivity, whatever) called television and watch men in trunks hugging and grappling each other in the middle of a square ring with thousands of people watching live, WWE all the way. YES YES YES!!
The internet back here is especially invigorating. I've finally downloaded 3/4 of the least number of references required for my Library Research Paper. Of course since Library is in the scary name of the paper, us researchers are all required to go to the magical building of books and highly wise people who demand silence through their frightening glares (it could be just me since I'm not used to being stared down by people, young and old). I have taken a trip once and even took out a few books pretending to be focused on whatever it was that I was supposed to be doing...it was socially frightening and awkward on my part despite the universal silence, however I have managed to rack up some experience points.
Now back to where the home is. My first night back in my room was another "almost" all nighter as I almost went on playing a quick playthrough of Portrait of Ruin with Richter and Maria in a single-save castle raid. Sadly I lost with the boss fight with Stella while I was still at level 12. It was a bad idea skipping the bosses before her (Dullahan, Legion etc.)
I only had about 5 hours of sleep, ah classic routine during high school. I've powered through half of the current season of Big Bang and have played with my nephew quite a lot this morning.
I suppose the only real frustrating thing now that I'm back home is the presence of all the meaty meals in the house which was by my grandma's cooking.
Lent began last Wednesday and I, as I have been doing for the past 18 (I suppose) years, it is a day where I eat no meat. Last Wednesday, however, because I was half asleep in the morning and forgot to enjoy a sip of coffee first before downing my breakfast it was already late when I realized that I'm not supposed to eat any meat that day. Those five pieces of salami on my stomach that day suddenly gave me a figurative stomach ache.
In order to make myself feel less guilty about what I did last Wednesday, I promised that I wouldn't eat meat until next Friday. So it's an all fish diet. Thankfully Jollibee returned their Tuna Pie in their menu, that pie is extremely delicious. I've done good so far, however I think the universe is tempting me because in my parents' fridge is a pack of unopened cooked pork skin with a large slab of meat stuck on the skin (Chicharon in the Filipino tongue...and now mine is drooling).
My grandma also happened to cook Pork in soy sauce stew (Adobo in our tongue, I honestly don't know what its english translation is even if I have google at my disposal).
Well anyway, hopefully I'd still keep my focus up next week and on the following weeks before I finally start with the upcoming 4-month vacation. One of those months, hopefully would be spent productively and academically through the Summer classes (half of June to half of July).
