i skipped school yesterday for reasons not of my own doing:

• when i reached ncba, i hit the back of a passenger jeepney real hard. i don't recall how it all happened, i just came to my senses milliseconds before i hit the jeepney, when i didn't have time anymore to step on the brakes. at least no nosey policeman showed up to "check" what happened. the manong driver told me he was in a hurry, so he asked for P600 for repairs (there was great damage to his jeepney and our trooper). i only had 500 peso bills in my wallet, so i just gave him 500 bucks [ i found out later on it was too much ], which he accepted in protest.
  
  
• when i got to school, surprisingly, the parking slots are filled up at 8 in the morning. i parked near the exit, right next to an icky bushy area. i usually park there, so i didn't really anticipate any problem in parking there again this morning. i even left space between the bushes and the car so i would have enough room to walk through. anyway, as soon as i got out of the car, i felt as if a needle was slowly penetrating my left thigh. i didn't have the chance to see what caused the pain, but i presumed i got stung by a bee. it hurt really bad and i felt my left thigh getting numb with every step. i had to stop several times in the law center because it was too painful to move. i managed to go to the lib and had my digest photocopied though. i still planned on going to class [ even with all the kamalasans ].
  
  
• i went to the restroom to check the sting. but in an attempt to make it to class early, i forcefully opened my jeans to the point of almost ripping it. 'turned out i damaged the zipper, and i couldn't zip it close afterwards. i went out of the bathroom stall with my jacket tied to my waist and my shoulder bag covering the front part of my jeans. i saw chi on her way to the classroom and i just handed her the digests, 'asked her to distribute it to our classmates and said no more. i decided to just go home. i had this feeling i was going to be called for recit [ but i wasn't. thank god ], and i wasn't prepared to discuss the topic/cases [ and i wouldn't want to recite with my big shoulder bag in front of me. that would incite suspicion ].
  

so that was how my whole morning went. things like this you just look back on and well, laugh at. or cry over. gawd. pathetic. about the car, i heard the damage costs about 15 thou more or less. about the bee sting, i took medicine and applied ointment on this awhile ago. there's only a small red spot left on the area. occasionally though, i would feel like it's being pricked by a pin or some other sharp object. about the jeans, well, there goes another relic from college. i remember last night looking at some of our college pictures and i was lamenting over how fat my thighs have become since i started with law school. that pair of jeans particularly got my attention, because it fit me perfectly well back in college. and so i tried it on, and i didn't look too fat in it, although it did feel a little snug. i decided to wear it this morning under the false notion that i haven't gained weight since college. but the fact that the jeans got damaged tossed me back to reality [ yes, you gained a lot of weight, and you are in UP law hell school. get over it].

the only good thing that came out of this day is this:

wheeeeee! i'm watching jars of clay with neil and penny!
