If I had eyes

1
Things have been ho-hum lately. Basking in the nothingness that is the beginning of summer. (Crap, may hold orders pa pala ako.) Spent a weekend with the family back in Cavite for Gabriel Joshua's graduation -- where I a.) met the ghosts of boyfriends past, b.) was made to promise to graduate with honors by well-meaning former teachers, c.) was told by my former principal that I was "always worthy in the eyes of God." Right.

More on nothingness: sleeping the entire day, only getting up for the bathroom, frantic messages from family and friends, and Isabel Allende.

Speaking of Isabel Allende:

"I no longer had the strength to grab a sturdy peasant girl by the waist and swing her up onto my saddle, much less rip her clothes off and enter her against her will. I was of an age when you need help and tenderness if you're going to make love. I was old, damn it."
- from The House of the Spirits

Happy summer everybooty.
