if only elevator music were like this.

Had dinner at a certain dining bar with my boyfriend. Didn’t care much for the food but the music was fantastic (check it out below). We ended up staying for a few hours long after our half-eaten meals were taken away and spent the time talking… and lightly arguing *rolls eyes*. Sometimes I feel like we’re an old married couple, and I’m not sure whether that’s a good thing or not. I feel like we’re both way past all the shit that relationships bring. We used to fight a lot; crazy, irrational, epic fights that would often get physical (at least from my part. I’ve learned not to let my fists do the talking now). Although now, the only physical interaction that happens when we argue is when he holds my hand as soon as I utter a profanity in Italian. What a good boyfriend <3

Today was a happy one, which wasn’t much of a surprise. I woke up five, yes, five hours earlier than usual to enroll for a Lit Crit class that isn’t part of my major’s curriculum. I will definitely have trouble later on when the minor subjects I keep holding off pile up at the end of next year. But how could I refuse when the professor himself called me up to join his class? Never mind that he just had to call me at seven in the morning to relay the flattering invitation, leaving me no time to grumble at the unforgivably early wake-up call. My mother became very irritable when she found that her Balenciaga invitation came more than a month late (which I found very funny), so I told her to get on the internet for the pictures–to which she started tutting, saying, “That is not how it works, Alessandria… *$&^#%@!” … Ahh, selective hearing. Gotta have it.

Then my siblings started imitating the characters from Spirited Away. They’ve only seen it once, which was over a month ago, but they still remember that movie. It’s high up on my list of favourites, I have to say. They always laugh when I do an impression of the bodiless heads saying oy oy oy. Haha. Then they do a radish spirit dance. It’s just too cute. I wish I had recorded it. Maybe tomorrow.

One short-run marginal cost in the overhead, although this only affects labour inputs during production, is that I somehow promised someone, despite a high marginal propensity to consume, that I would put a long-term cessation to my conspicuous consumption of a demerit good, tobacco, since the rate of interest isn’t very attractive. Ah, where was I? Hehe… selective memory. Gotta have it (or not *gulps*).

Wow, this was long.

Sleepy time. Zzz

Today is my little brother’s birthday and he’s sad because his most favourite person in the world, my ex-girlfriend, is not attending the celebration.
Hmm. I want to give him an honest explanation but I don’t think “heartless bitch” should be in his vocabulary. Ever.

A criminal and an opportunist are leading in the race to Malacanang.

How thick can people get?

Estrada has a criminal record and I truly believe he is stupid. He cannot answer sensible questions asked by college students without making a fool of himself. Have people forgotten the fact that they had him overthrown from his corrupt presidency in the last decade?

Aquino, however, has no record at all. People need to be able to tell the difference between a clean record and a BLANK RECORD. Zero laws passed as Senator. His list of achievements? His famous family.

I have nothing good to say about them. And either of these two could be the President of the Philippines in a few hours.

Maybe moving to New Zealand is a good idea after all.
