Crazy?

These past few days have been crazy; next week won’t be an exception.

Last Saturday could fall under the category of “Happiest Night”, to all those green thinkers out there; it’s not what you think. Well basically I spent the night at Poveda attending a concert entitled Beat it featuring a lot of bands. I particularly like Rivermaya (favorite band) and 6 Cycle Mind (my other favorite band) and sang to the tunes of their songs like Liwanag sa Dilim, You’ll be safe here, Umaaraw Umuulan and Awit ng Kabataan by Rivermaya, Sandalan, Sige, Biglaan and Alapaap by 6 Cycle Mind. Though Alapaap was popularized by the Eraserheads, they still played the song. Damn it was good to actually jump up and down and, jumping to the beat of the music! Other bands who performed that evening were Kjwan, Imago, Sandwich and Dicta License. Personally I didn’t like Dicta, but Sandwich and Kjwan were great as well! That Saturday I also met up with Lia and Inez, Lia the last I saw her was, grade 7, as for Inez, it’s my first time to see her. I also saw Nadal, who transferred to Ateneo after we graduated Grade 7; I remember walking beside him during the graduation march during our grade school graduation. Still, Rivermaya and 6 Cycle Mind made my day that evening. Why are you so damn good Mike Elgar (Rivermaya guitarist)?

Sunday was great as well. I had my usual Sunday SBMA at LSGH and tried to teach the kids some songs, and we ended up singing a lousy song. The title gives me the creeps, it make me want to go back to my childhood days. What do I expect from Grade 4 students? One of them though was singing Hallelujah excessively. Right after I spend the next hour sitting and reading Phantom of the Opera by the Quadrangle staircase. At 11, we had the kids have their snacks before sending them home. 3F had their class mass that day, guess what, Ogie was there and we chatted a bit before he left. Finally, lunch at the brothers, a little tour of the Brothers house, sharing and finally had a game of Basketball. Afterwards threw the Frisbee around the field, purely out of fun. I also met John, who is a postulant from Myanmar, quiet and reserved, before I knew he was from Myanmar I was wondering why he wasn’t replying to my questions in Tagalog.

Monday, no classes and spent the afternoon at Vince’s to practice for the BoB on December 10. We were able to make progress during the short practice.

Tuesday was our intramurals. Losses to J and A ended our chances in Basketball but coming out top in Soccer and Volleyball gave us hope to become over all champions.

Wednesday I bought a new book, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. It’s actually a nice book I only started reading it the other night, right after I finished Phantom of the Opera.

Well, that’s my week and I haven’t even gotten into the loads of homework we have.
