Aub’s

hanging out in the "pantalan" was always on top of my list. in high school, we would go to the pantalan in galas just to see the sunset, eat isaw, have some deep conversations, and of course, play patentero. there was one time where our friend tibu fell! we were playing patentero and he slipped! good thing there were big stones so he was not eaten by the sea. he had some bruises.

last night, my elementary friends decided to have some "paigit session". a good friend ivan bought a bottle of napoleon brandy and a case and a half of red horse grande. we started our session in front of the rcpi, then later decided to continue it sa pantalan. we were all sittin on the ledge wen our friend richard slowly went down to pee. he slipped and before we know it, he was already in the water striving for his life. randel shouted that richard was in the water. at first, i thought there was a big fish splashing on the surface of the water. but then randel suddenly went into the water and the others raymond, ivan, and sly followed. i didn’t know what to do, im not a good swimmer, only and expert in bubbling-up. i was afraid of what might happen because we were all tipsy already. I wasn’t of big help during that time, i only catched the cellphones and the slippers being thrown to me. we were really thankful that nothing bad happened to richard. nahuwasan gud ming tanan! so, we decided to leave and go to ivan’s house. there we continued our sessions, talked about the incident with great voices, and i, acting as a nurse, cleaned the scratches of richard and randel. with two cellphones and bruises as casualties, it was really an unforgettable experience, swear i won’t make stambay in the pantalan again! except when star-gazing!

this short but handsome guy named aubrey is a couch-potato. he sleeps a lot and eats a lot n drinks a lot of water. he’s a 5′ flat, 130lbs. creature. isn’t he overweight for his height? I reli don’t know why this guy’s developing more adipose tissues every now n then when in fact he doesn’t eat a lot like his friend alex n that he sometimes skip meals! he has a beer belly when in fact he’s a teetotaler! chak! he plans on doing some excercise but his procastinator attitude hinders him from doing so. he has nothing to do with his life but eat and sleep and sleep. he took up violin lessons to somehow make use of his idle time, but then again, his procastinator attitude prevails. he is a bit of an intellectual only that he doesn’t voice out his views in class. i dunno why, maybe he’s ashamed to speak. but it’s ironic because he is a public speaker, in fact, the orator of the year in high school. during the entire speech choir practice, he didn’t suggest a single advice. he even declined the leadership position suggested to him by his grup mates. i duno wat’s wrong with this guy, maybe he doesn’t want such a responsibility. he thinks he’s lost because he thinks he has nowhere to go to during the summer term. he has all the time to make laag but he has nobody to go with. he’s tired of going out alone, so he just slips the whole afternoon of his whole summer term. but lately, just a few days ago, he felt he has been found because he was with a good company- with his high school peeps. he had some tete-a-tetes with his friends pipit n loloy. he likes those kind of conversations, and was so glad because for 48 yirs, no one talked to him that way. he’s contened with the way things are going but he really needs to shed some pounds! so anyone wanting to have some adipose tissues, feel free to ask it from him! he’ll be delighted to donate it!

whaaah! humana jud ang summer class! feeling accomplished kau ko today! last night, we were goin crazy with our speech choir. we change almost all of the positions. i was furious coz it’s d last nyt of praktis n suddenly everything was changed! I shouted, "UNSA BA JUD! CURVE O STRAIGHT LINE?!? " tingala cilang tanan! whehe… I was to wear something formal, but i hesitated and early this morning, i brought with me a black long-sleeved shirt. wa nay cilay nahimu! whehe.. den my precious pimple-free face was covered with a black latex watsoever paint. i just hate it! wen we got inside the avt1, i was feelin inferior over the other groups coz they really have costumes. we were not hoping to win, coz in the first place, the piece which we first chose was the piece of the first grup. so we performed, not aiming for the top spot. by the time all grups were done, the announcement of the winner followd. we were in the first place -tie with the 3rd grup. no offense to them, but i think we alone deserve the first place, naa kaha sa amu grup ang ORATOR OF THE YEAR sa SVC-HIGH ‘04!!! hehehe….

     the other thing why i feel so accomplished today s that i was the highest scorer in our BC final exams this morning!!!! whahahaha!!!!!!!!!

AUB’s blowin his trumpet again!!! but who cares?!?!?! this is my blog!!!!!!!! whahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Whhhaaaahhh!!! patricia’s here in Dumaguete! (do you know her?) she’s such a beautiful and witty lass! I first saw her last week, lunch time, beside the SU coop. I really wanted to approach her and just say, "HI! it’s such a pleasure to meet in person the greatest Filipino public speaker of the time!" but she was talking to somebody, so i didn’t bother to go near her. two days later, while i was eating at Scooby’s Silliman, i saw her again! then, last friday, after i got sum cash from the LBP atm, I thought of going to scooby’s to hav lunch. but i decided to go to jollibee instead. whatta fool! i saw patricia inside scooby’s! la lang gud, i just want to meet her! magbuot! and then, last night, after our boring speech choir practice, a grupm8 of mine invited me to have sum "pa-igit" session. so we went to el amigo. there were a lot of literature nerds in the next table. moments later, I saw patricia coming! whhaaah!!!!!! naa xa sa tapad na table! and she had a sip of beer! (not that i’m defaming her). but la lang gud, coz inspite of the fame and all the achievements, i thought her social life’s dead! hehe… la lang, mura lang kog mabuang na naa si patricia diri silliman, naa xa giatenan na literaturre workshop dri silliman. she wrote in her Phil Daily Inquireer column last may14:

"The world moves slowly here in Dumaguete. The stars are brighter, the people friendlier, and there is all the time in the world to sit by the sea and dream the world away. Two nights ago, I walked to the boulevard to sit by the sea while a light rain was beginning to fall. There I was, playing the role of melancholy writer, thinking of all the dozens of legendary writers who must have sat on that very spot. I could hear a narrator talking in my head—he sounded like Robert Redford."
