just around the corner.
christmas is just around the corner. do you feel it? i don't! i've been waiting for the first crisp gust of cool wind at high noon that's the tell-tale sign that the holidays are coming, but lately, it's been hot, humid and rainy - a very weird mishmash of weather conditions that are making a whole bunch of paranoid students (vitamin) pill-popping people to avoid getting sick during finals week.
the only sign of people preparing for the holidays (cos i'm usually surrounded with people engrossed in books) is the weird choir of old ladies next door, presumably practicing for christmas carolling. for the past three nights, "heaven and earth resound the hymn" ala sister act has been my soundtrack to the revised penal code, complete with drums, tambourines and the high-pitched falsetto background vocals. i can just imagine them snapping their fingers and going crazy to the beat. oh see, now they're singing it slow-mo: "sa-a-a-a-alve (saaa--lve--eee) sa-a-a-alve-e-e re-e-e-e-gi----na-a-a-a..."
and, curtain.
on a happy note, i saw the powerplant people bringing out the structure of their lovely lovely christmas tree the other day, so, hopefully, after i come out of the classroom each day next week after every test, i can drown my sorrows and disappointment in pretty lights and butternut crunch jolly twirl.

before we know it, it's christmas shopping again...and not to be a scrooge or anything, but with that comes the christmas crowds.
i love that your school is so near powerplant. what a great place to hang out!
oh my god tell me about it. it's sale pa naman this weekend! every rockwell sale makes parking (and finding a decent, quick place to eat) more difficult. rockwell sales are the moments when you see women becoming violent over mango bags and getting uncivilized over CMG shoes. worse than tiangge. they have no sense of personal space when they're shopping there! who says that being well-to-do immediately means having breeding? just put any number of women in a zara store that's 50 to 70% off and see them run wild =)
going to school near powerplant is soooo expensive! it's either mcdo or jollibee or a P200 lunch. death.
