December has been good to me lately, mainly because:
*Yesterday, I got to commute home by LRT and MRT with Hottie. Everything was just friggin' funny from Taft all the way to our stops. He was already tired from school. Quite sabaw. Thing is, he's hilarious even when he's dead tired. He's like a restless little kid who says the most random thing. We talked about the shadowplay, Fuente Ovejuna and all its memorable scenes, parents on Facebook, the youtube vid dubbed as one of the best wedding proposals- his cousin was the guy who proposed, etc.
I didn't expect we'd commute home together. It just so happened he wasn't so busy with theater since finals week was approaching and I already planned to go home after I borrow his journal.
While waiting at the platform...
Him: I wanna go home.
Me: But we are going home!
Him: (stands near edge of platform, preparing to jump) the train!!
OMGLOL.
We high-fived when we manage to get seats at the MRT. We were so talkative and just kept laughing and laughing until he had to get off at his stop which was just two stations away from mine.
Him: Stop talking, you're hurting my braiiin.
Me: (silent)
Him: So kamusta ka naman?
Me: Bitch. XD
*My mom visited here in Manila and brought our yaya with her. So for nearly a week, I went home to a warm meal and I didn't have to clean up after. More downtime, more time to practice my songs, and more time to chill and bond with my mom. Accompanied her to Human Nature last weekend where she went crazy with all the organic products that she was gonna sell to her friends and contacts back in the province. She also bought organic products from Milea, as well organic honey.
I love the organic honey. I consume spoonfuls of it each day.
*I am obsessed with grounded cinammon. I put it in my champorado, tea, milk, coffee... it's just HEAVENLY.
*Was suppose to go to the Yule ball, but due to unforeseen circumstances and random opportunities that cannot be turned down, I decided to prioritize my music first.
*Got my EAF and I didn't have to stand in line very long for it. Then went to SDA for my weekly hangout with my friend Chi. We watched a romantic comedy through her laptop. "Keeping The Faith" starring Ben Stiller. Loads of laughs!
December is my darling.

WHAT IS AIR.
Yesterday, I was with Spam and Aslan at the art campus'library. I was waiting for Hottie coz he was returning the guitar amplifier to me.
When he finally arrived (OMG MUST KEEP CALM) he stuck around for awhile to talk to us. I mentioned to him how I got my ticket at the booth during their Fuente Ovejuna play and how the lady had no idea what I was talking about. He said he was sure he mentioned it. Then he said that he looked for me after the play and when he couldn't find me, he concluded that I had immediately left. (Cue Spam who turns away trying to hide her kilig)
Well I did leave immediately because, you know, a girl's also busy. And stuff. Hohohoho. Actually, I did want to stick around after the play ended and congratulate Hottie on another great job but I figured- it's totally awkward if I approach him among his production crew and I don't know a soul there. Besides, why should I look for him?? All the same, I still blush and figuratively roll everytime I recall it: HE LOOKED FOR ME!! lsakdjafhklafhdkjfhsdjkghfdsjkl
Okaaaaay, guitar amp totally worth the trouble ZOMG.

Smart Turtles! What About Otters?
Embryonic turtles communicate to coordinate when they hatch?!
Apparently, Murray River turtles communicate with their siblings while they are still in their shells, buried under the soil, in order to coordinate when they hatch.
Achieving this synchronicity isn’t easy. Although the eggs are always laid at the same time in the same nest, those at the top of the nest near the sun-drenched soil develop much faster than those buried deeper in the cooler soil. However, Murray River turtles are able to tell whether their fellow hatchlings are more or less advanced and adapt their pace of development accordingly, allowing the slow-coaches to play catch-up.
The team concluded that the embryos must be able to communicate with each other while they are still in their shells, but it’s not clear how. They suggest that it could be down to changes in the nest that trigger certain hormones that change the turtles’ metabolism. Embryos produce more thyroid hormone when oxygen levels fall. The fast-developing embryos could use up the oxygen levels around the next and emit more carbon dioxide. The reduction in oxygen could cause the slower developers to produce more thyroid hormone and therefore grow faster.
Geez! I’m inspired. When’s the last time you put that much effort into cooperating with your siblings? Sadly, I'm the only child but you know what I mean!

Things I Do For Love *sigh*
Last week, Hottie texted me saying that their production crew for the school's theater show was in a bit of a pickle. They needed a guitar amplifier tomorrow morning (he texted Sunday evening) and the school's art department denied lending theirs. Which is odd and stupid at the same time.
Usually, in these last-minute emergencies, I already consider a lost cause. Besides, who'd lend their guitar amplifier for a week?
But since it was Hottie who needed my help, I exhausted more than half of my contacts and finally found someone who was willing to lend their guitar amplifier for the play the next day.
OMG the things I do for love. I'm beginning to think how pathetic I am. But there I was, going to the art campus on the 6th floor where final rehearsals for the play were on full swing, guitar amplifier in one hand. Spam had accompanied me that time and she was grumpy for reasons. LOL. When Hottie finally relieved me of the amplifier and left with a thank you, Spam was like, "yun lang?? Wala man lang hug or kiss??" (That's all? Not even a hug or a kiss??")
I'd like to think that I was able to help him out, even with something as insignificant as a guitar amp.
Last Thursday, he texted me that morning saying he got me two tickets for the play. Was suppose to watch it with Spam but due to a series of unfortunate events, I ended up watching it alone. And from there I found out why they needed a guitar amplifier.
Yup. Would totally make an awesome girlfriend. But not now.
The play was AWESOME, in case you're wondering. Totally worth the trouble.

Video Games, Boys and Whatnots.
No calls for jobs. No calls for the Air Force. I'm running out of money. Sigh.
But since my best friend's boyfriend has been back into our apartment, it's weird. Even though this is a studio apartment, we all three sleep on the same bed. Can someone say awkward? Lol. But sadly, it upsets my best friend that he's doing the same thing he does before he got kicked out. VIDEO GAMES. He can't even get the motivation to find a job for himself. The Japanese restaurant probably is going to call him because they probably found someone better.
It upsets me too because he allows two girls to do stuff for him like he's a dang child. A dang 24-year-old child who grows his own weed and is a damn pothead. Sigh.
Licorice won't be seeing me this weekend because he's going to a drifting (car) event and going to a Hot Import Night event. JEALOUS. Sigh. But hopefully, Sunday he has his car ready and fixed so we can go on more dates.
Surprisingly enough, Jell-O is trying to get with me. And by "get with me" as in, us being together.
Oh, Blue Fox. You dumbass. Contact me already, jerk. Sigh.
