Ako'y natisod, natapilok
Natisod, natapilok
Di maingat sa pagmamahal . . .

I. JUST. HATE. THE. SONG. If I am sexy and hotness Fergie, I would freak out 'til my lungs can't take it anymore. Funny thing is this was the first song that my mind played after my little "accident".

I earned myself a cute little wound in the face that wasn't cute at all. I met an accident last night. A collision. Oh well, not really an accident but let's just call it that because I can't bear to think how stupid I could really be oftentimes. I collided with the wall! I wasn't drunk. I wasn't in drugs. It just so happened that the wall was there, standing tall and proud so I banged my face because I was stupid enough to not turn on a light. WHAM! BAM! That hurts like hell. For half a minute, I was on the floor cringing in pain. My worry was that I might look like beaten Pacquiao after his first match with Morrrrrales in my graduation picture. GOD. Good thing we haven't scheduled it at this time, at least not yet. And oh, I also have bruises on my knees, left and right.

Natisod, napadapa na na na na tatanga-tanga. . .

who said graduating is this expensive?

Oh well, I did.

While mama was deeply absorbed in watching a soap, only half-listening to what I was saying, itinodo ko na!!

"Ma, wag ka masyado mabibigla ngayong September ah, sobrang dami namin babayadan. 'Yung sa grad pic (amount here), mahal talaga 'yung yearbook eh. Tapos may mga conference pa kame na aattend-an, may bayad yun na (amount again). Baka nga di na ko masyado makauwi eh. . ."

Mama: Ah ganun, eh kung di talaga eh (eyes still on the tv).

" Tapos di pa kasama dun yung mga gagastusin namin sa thesis. Ay ma, nagpagawa nga din pala ako ng college ring (AMOUNT again), pero don't worry, ang bayad nun hanggang March pa pwede."

Mama: (attention still not on me) Ah sige basta ilista mo lang ng ilista.

ME: (sa isip lang) Hmmm, talaga lang ha? Ma, good luck pag nagsink in na sa inyo mga pinagsasabi ko. And sorry! hehe

Little did she know na simula pa lang ng kalbaryo nila at ng kanilang mga pockets. Pasensya na po, estudyante pa lang. At wait lang nga pala, gusto ko sana ihabol sa mahaba kong litanya, pero hindi ko na idinugtong dahil baka masira ang mahinahon spell na bumalot sa buong kabahayan.

"Ay Ma, ung college ring at grad pic, hindi sila assurance na gagraduate na talaga ko. Lahat talaga ng mga 4th year students dumadaan sa ganyan. Basta wag ka muna maging kampante ha. Pero syempre nagsisikap naman ako, ok ok? Yaan mo, yayaman din tayo, relax ka lang." ;)

Grabe, ang hirap magpaaral ng anak!
