it's good to know "one tree hill" is back with a new season. i think it's high time. watching re-runs of almost every show on cable is already boring. ali said though that she already watched it on video; she said the season actually ended last may.
and i liked how the plot fast forwarded their lives. but i really can't reconcile chad michael murray (playing lucas) being a novel writer. ali said it wasn't too farfetched since lucas has been some sort of a writer when they were in high school. but it's still chad and being sophia's (playing brooke) bastard ex husband doesn't spell novel writer to me, hehe..
been quite busy this week. but i'm very grateful every day since too. i finally have my toefl and gre test schedule, courtesy of ma'am imee's credit card. she's really been a big help and she even gave me the suit she lent me when i went to singapore. i'll be taking both tests this august so i'll be busy reviewing again. i know they're just aptitude tests and modesty aside, i'm pretty sure i can pass them, but that's not the goal this time - i actually have to get a very high score since i'm applying for scholarship. claudio said i won't have a hard time with toefl but he told me the gre could be tricky.
also attended meetings and a forum this week. met with team rp again after about a month (it's on board the core stuff again) and with a roughly-named "reform coalition" (a diverse group of people from different sectors brainstorming on leadership for the coming 2010 elections). then just last friday, i was in the ayala young leaders' intergenerational leadership forum, where i met some people who we could collaborate with on our campaigns and activities in team rp.
will be attending a couple more meetings and doing some more stuff for team rp next week before i take a break from it all again. i figured studying for a week before taking my tests would be good enough. oh, then, i have to finish writing a journal article out of my thesis. i'm supposed to beat an end of the month deadline for that. plus, i have a september first deadline on a new study on heritage in south east asia. i already have my topic and some resources but i still have to do some preliminary cartographic analysis. hope this research project flies on time.
anyway, i bought a can of sliced button mushrooms and butter earlier (more like saturday night; i seem to keep on forgetting that i work after midnight, hehe..) and i was a bit surprised how prices rose again since the last time i did some grocery. well, i bought butter some two months ago and mushrooms last year, but the price increase is really way up there. last time i bought butter, it only cost about P30 to P35 something (used to be just around P27), but now, it's already P40.95 and the mushrooms are really expensive for P42.95 to think that much of the grams in can are water weight (a can of sliced mushrooms used to be just around P32). sigh, inflation woes.. |
