Reality Check
Hello. I am once again unsatisfied with my self-made blogskin so here I am renewing it all. Maybe, I need MORE inspiration because the former looked dull and the more I try to revise it the more it ends up looking duller by the minute. Adobe is playing tricks on me. I can't manage to manipulate my brain and I believe that I've knocked out all creative cells inside of me. It sucks, I know. School projects are to blame, no offense dear teachers. Our Environmental Education project is useless because we do not know how to actually go about building an aquatic biosphere made of scrap and considering that all my creative cells have vanished, I cannot direct myself into thinking how the whole thing shall go. So at this very moment I am wasteful of my time-- yes, I regret it but I can't make myself live a school life that is all planned out. I want it to be spontaneous and frank so that I learn to be flexible to changes and adapt to them quite easily. But in this case, I don't think it is appropriate. Bitter truth: DEADLINE IS ON WEDNESDAY, JULY 31. Cramming buddies, here I coooome!
Yesterday, we watched "Florante at Laura" in AFP. It had me thinking about the plot of the storyline which is, for my case, outright fantasy in some points. Frankly, I am not a Francisco Balagtas enthusiast nor a filipino classic fanatic. (Yeah, screw me!) I find it hard dealing with those heart-felt Filipino lines, which in some cases are as cheesy as can be (and dull at times.. sorry :D), because they feel too fake. But truth be told, I want to open up myself into these Filipino classics and dig a more appreciative literary buff within me. No, the story line was not too hard to absorb but the involvement and presence of excruciatingly-hard-to-translate-vocabs are at fault. I know I am Filipino and everything but the language is difficult for me to comprehend. Whoever thought Filipino was easy? Nah, not me. NOT.AT.ALL.
Reality check:
- I am gaining weight once again. This sucks. I think my no-rice diet is not working. DARN.
- I finished Ramayana already and I am a wee bit fascinated by the imaginary scenes involved. It was goody-good but not too much. Shallow plot, that's it.
- Monday again. Mondays are my most disliked days of the week.
