puLl tHe tRigGer
i woke up at 2 AM. that means, i waited, in bed, in the dark, for five and half hours for my first class. which i walked to.
i am *not* pissed off.
my first class was socio and anthro, under mr. apolonio. it's extremely interesting and i think it'll be helpful, since im writing and i write about people with other people and all that. it's great. and he makes it interesting.
orals ang finals. waaah.
tapos, nabawasan kami. lagas. haha. pero may mga nadagdag naman. good luck sa amin!!! nung break, i discovered na super-duper population explosion yung ateneo. pucha, ang dami-daming freshies! nakakabaliw, sobra. ang sarap mangagat ng tao. haha. pero i feel loads of empathy for freshies. i still feel like one, sometimes.
and then, it was aesthetics. that meant getting lost in gonzaga hall, and then entering what has been dubbed as "the Twilight Zone" to get to the airless classroom.
fr. javellana's our prof. i bow to him. i like art. very much, in fact. and he reminds me of a santa claus on vacation. oh, and i need to buy 500 pesos worth of photocopied materials. i really, really, *really* hope i like this book. naghihirap na nga ako eh. (sigh) the things i do for a better future. haha, walang sense.
after that, we flew to theo. in normal days, that meant 10 minutes from gonzaga to ctc. and in theo, if you're late, cut na. ang ganda ng lola mo. buti na lang 9 cuts and puwede. before the class itself, ang daming rumors na naglipana about mr. crisostomo, ranging from the silly to the plain evil. i just don't know. he reminds me of a priest sa molino. the one who stops in the middle of a sermon to chastise a member of the congregation who's daydreaming. god, i hope he's nice. i need all the points with the Lord that i can get.
and then, after one and a half hours, the highlight of my day, PE! yes, my swimming class... haha. i am sooo scared. 14 lang kami sa class tapos yung 4 pa doon eh exempted kasi varsity ng arneow. wow. good for you. tapos sa klase namin, maraming accomplished swimmers. lozada, milo, swimming varsity ng st. paul. pucha, ang saya. coach mac enumerated the things we needed to accomplish. things like swimming, diving, swimming, threading, breathing under water, floating, swimming, swimming, changing into swimsuits before the time, swimming, understanding the entrance-and-exit procedure, swimming, strokes, swimming. mainly, swimming. what scares me kasi is the weightlessness. surrendering to the water and floating. and moving underwater. i am too long. i feel like a bony octopus.
ay, eto ang malupit. ang uniform namin eh yung one-piece bathing suit with shower cap. ladies and gentlemen, abangan niyo ang kagilagilalas na pagbilad ni sasha martinez. (haha, parang tuyo.) i will look like an abnormally long and thin penis with an extremely tiny condom. curse the utter shapelessness of my body.
after class, i approached coach mac and told him that i have absolutely no experience in swimming.
coach mac: "good!"
me: (thinking, you don't understand, mr. sadist-person.) "coach, the only thing i can do is stand in the pool and wave my arms. at sa gilid lang lagi ng pool. minsan pa nga, hawak ko si mommy."
coach mac: "hindi, hindi, okay lang yun! ako bahala sa'yo. lalangoy ka rin!"
said the spider to the fly.
i think the coach sees me as one of those social welfare projects. he was really gleeful when i told him na i couldn't swim. gee, thank you sir. you shall be on my tombstone, a week from now.
yun lang, yun lang, yun lang. helluva first day. ang hirap, ang daming gagawing bago, mas mahirap pa. i'll be constantly challenging myself so i can save the world in the future! yey.
