Jennifer Lopez singing in Spanish. Note how all covered-up she is in this video compared to her older ones. Must be Marc.

Yikes. March is almost over. Exactly had 4 days of break before Spring Quarter started - today. Survived last quarter with only an extremely dry skin to show for it - hay! This quarter - got 4 classes and one of them is about learning to speak Spanish to ill patients - those who speak Spanish of course. Looking at about 3 long papers to write and 3 presentations to make, plus a practicum that has not started yet but already stressing me out.

The org I am in is practically falling apart - I think it is my fault. All my fault. All my fault.

Anyway, my bf from Florida came over for Spring Break. She barely have time for me and we spent it eating, drinking coffee and shopping - so heaven.

Got a couple pair of new shoes - one slutty, the other dowdy - perfect combo for everyday life - the other everyday life when I am not in nursing shoes or running shoes or again, nursing shoes.

Been trying to exercise - but my attempts had been futile - simply cannot fit anything aerobic activity in for nothing. Got a watch that time laps and all - but still, it is over there, lying alone, unwound, being considered for return. Hay, again.

Unkind Times

Days had been running on top of each other lately. Worse, tomorrow is the start of Daylight Savings Time. Bad news for chronic procrastinators like me - lost an hour more on the top of all the hours I lost slacking instead of writing a 15-page paper that is due on Wednesday, finishing up a binderful of literature review for a project - also due on Wednesday, and not but not the least, studying for a looonnnnnng open-note (read: extremely hard!) exam on Thursday on social theories and such. I am wilting as I write. It is a minute before midnight and I have written a measly paragraph. Sucks.

recounting days

I was at Berkeley last Saturday for a whole day International Health Conference on War, Poverty and Population. Fun, no? Funnier is the fact that the thinking heads are talking about population control again. I remember writing and drawing about in grade school 20 something years ago. Apparently, the world is getting too small or we are all getting too many and fat. Anyway, I was thinking of Philippines and its 80 million or so people and the lack of definitive population control. I remember reading a komiks about vasectomy in 4th grade and how I thought that was kind of porn reading - he, he, he.

Anyway, loved Berkeley with its old buildings and very downtown, old world academia feel. Everyone was in the campus - joggers, lovers, nudists, bums, dopers, scholars, mentally ill, tourists and yeah some students - on a Saturday no less. I bailed out of the conference an hour early - I was starting to feel catatonic from listening to all the intellectual yappings- and I thought of walking around downtown but the crowd on the streets were kind of suspect, so I only managed to grab a greasy ham and cheese croissant and coffee from a cafe next to the parking structure and imagined I was dashing out of some Oxford watering hole.

Tribute to AJ - the booted out Pinoy Idol.

Did not even have a chance to make a to-do list. But found the time to watch the results show of American Idol. Really bummed - cannot believe our Filipino idol was booted out especially after a really fabulous performance. He was beaten by Sanjay!!!! Insulting. Goes to show that Filipinos everywhere do not vote! SAd, SAd, Sad!!!!
