i think i lost my brain somewhere...
yesterday was probably one of my most
duh moments. i know i'm normally absent-minded, but my mind was working extraordinarily slow yesterday.
case in point:
1. we were supposed to recite Rule 115 of the Rules of Criminal Procedure yesterday, the whole section on the Rights of the accused during trial. I was confident that I was going to recite the whole thing correctly, despite the fact that I crammed memorizing more than half of it. I would even point out mistakes from my other blockmates' recitations who were called before me. when it was my turn, I missed out one whole sentence, an important and simple one at that. I only realized it a few seconds after I took my seat. ARGH. stupid. it felt really bad because i know that i did everything i can, that i did my best. i've been reciting the whole thing correctly and completely in my head the whole morning, and i missed a substantial portion. maybe i focused too much on the other more confusing parts, or maybe i just wanted to get it over with already, or maybe, just maybe, my brain was flying somewhere else again. i know i'm probably being too shallow, but,
sayang lang..
2. at the gym, i found out that i got a missed call and some messages from my blockmates. apparently, i left my lunch bag in class, and one of my blockmates had to take it home so she could bring it to me tomorrow. argh. i hate leaving things behind. it's just inconvenient on me and everyone else. anyway, i was thankful at least that my blockmates were able to recover it. so what if it only contains leftover tuna.
3. still, at the gym, while entering the women's locker room, i found myself trying to open the door to the room with my locker key. and it wasn't even locked. i looked around after i realized what i was doing to see if anyone witnessed my blunder. good thing there was no one around/behind me that time. gawd. that would've been humiliating. it doesn't make me feel any better about my stupidity though.
and of course i had to post this on the web so the whole world can know.
i feel old once again... i realized that i appreciate 80's songs not because of all the 80's remake music in the soundtrack of "50 first dates" or because no doubt made a rendition of "it's my life" or that jason mraz sang "i'll stop the world and melt with you". i like 80's songs because i'm actually old enough to remember them, and that during the time when such songs were being aired on the radio, i already had the mental capacity to remember them. not that it's a bad thing though. most of the time, 80's originals are even better than their 90's-2000's versions. to hell with all the local artists and boy band versions of good 80's music.
lahat na lang nirerevive. don't they have anything else to play?
while working out earlier [
naks, working out daw], the gym instructor told me,
"ang daming bata ngayon dito, 'no?" i thought he was referring to the adolescent ateneo high boys, so i said,
"oo nga, ang daming high school." and he goes, "hinde, college na yang mga yan". and i wanted to point out,
"bakit, halos magka-age lang naman kami a.." but i knew i would've been in denial again so i just shut up.
one time, i came home to see my 6 year old and 8 year old nieces watching TV, showing a couple in the middle of a kissing scene. and i found myself saying "what are you watching???" maybe even complete with the shocked *gasp*. and patti replied, "it's just even stevens" [some series on the disney channel]. and i realized that i was overreacting. but i think i'll be correct in saying that kids nowadays are exposed to more explicit scenes than before, and kissing scenes in adolescent/supposedly kiddie shows involve younger children. they're not even adolescents, they're very young children. agh. kaya nagkakaganyan ang mga bata eh. hay. just call me Lola.
* * *one thing to be happy about: i'm taking up boxing! yey! i already bought a pair of gloves earlier. erika recommended it before, and the boxing trainer convinced me earlier that it's a good exercise to develop abs [he said he used to coach judy anne santos. hmm...] and besides, i
could use it on some people...
'need to study now. i'm not yet done with more than half of the readings.
