1. 30 Day Song Challenge, Day 02 - your least favorite song

Judas by Lady Gaga:


OH GOD I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SONG. The video is amusing though. (But then I consider iconoclasts amusing.) This is really weird, as I usually like Lady Gaga songs.

2.This just makes me sad. :(

Aaaaaaaaaand typhoon season starts once more. But it's only the second week of May. Why is it so early this year? :/

In other news, I'm sicker than a sickly thing. Again. The nurses at Medical City suspected I have the flu when they examined me earlier. Several people jokingly asked me not to be the first carrier of swine flu in the Philippines. Why oh why didn't I get my flu shots earlier this summer?

Anyway, I went home early, on account of the fact that I'm liable to collapse in front of the patients during the activity (baking banana muffins, if you must know). That, and the sclera on both of my eyes were scarily red earlier, which seriously disturbed some people. I just wish I could go to work tomorrow, but that seems unlikely from what I'm feeling right now. Urgh.

*eyes tags list balefully*

One of these days, I'm going to re-tag every single entry I've posted on this LJ. This disorganized clutter will soon come to an end!

But not today. No, today is Shopping With My Mother On A Sale Day. Which basically means that she'll enjoy herself while I won't, since I will end up carrying more than 75% of the things she'll buy. I can't wait 'til my brother grows up so my mother would foist her shopping onto him. I'm getting tired of playing the Male Child Substitute, especially since my parents now have a Real Male Child.²

Also, several hours' worth of sleep still isn't enough to erase my self-recrimination re: QPI. Damn it.

Haha, speaking of the lottery, I just came back from the mall. It was packed with people lining up at the PCSO kiosk, as the projected P270 million jackpot prize for tonight's draw lured everyone in. (I was tempted to line up too. But I was too hot and hungry to bother. xD)

Anyway, if I won the lottery, here's how I'll break it down:
- 1/8 I'd donate to charity
- 1/8 I'd share with my family and friends
- 1/2 I'll invest on something profitable (though why I'd invest on something unprofitable I have no idea)
- 1/4 I'd save ALL FOR MYSELF MWAHAHAHAHA.

But the plan above would only be feasible if I get anything in excess of P100,000. I'd hardly be able to follow through if I managed to win only P100. xD

ETA: I just read the answers other people submitted and I'm starting to feel a bit selfish. I'd still abide by what I said above though.

...you know, the part where the world has a sudden and dramatic climate change (i.e. snow in India). The temperature right now is at the lower 20's and WTF I'M ONLY WEARING A SHIRT, LOOSE PANTS AND FLIP-FLOPS.

I'm not a cold-weather person. .____.

“We are going to intercede at the site of the statue of the bull on Wall Street to ask God to begin a shift from the bull and bear markets to what we feel will be the ‘Lion’s Market,’ or God’s control over the economic systems.”

DUDES. Exodus 34. Read, bitches!

"Ate Val, I want to go to the Leaning Tower of Pizza in the country that is a boot!"

Ladies and gentlemen, my brother. *bows*

I just wanted to show off my brand new shiny (I initially typed "sinny" -- Freudian slip, Y/Y?) icon because I was reading old wankery over at Fandom Wank and you can never get tired of Catholic jokes, dunchaknow? And this is totally not some lame way to procrastinate because I just couldn't afford to procrastinate as I feel as if I'm failing or at least getting a D in all of my core subjects, wahoo! But wait -- reading up on Ye Olde Internete Dramæ (I've been wanting to use the letter "æ" all day!) could be counted as procrastination right? Oh snap.

My head is aching and my body is sore all over. Also, I'd like to eat chocolate pudding, only we don't have chocolate pudding right now. In fact, I haven't even tasted chocolate pudding in my life, so I don't know why I'm starting to crave for it. Maybe it's because I ate vanilla pudding earlier. Which is probably why I have a headache because...I don't know why, it just is. In which case, I used causal inference heuristic #4 (Unusualness: 2 unusual things happen within a single timeframe, and the mind immediately leaps to the conclusion that one caused the other despite the utter batshit craziness of that logic). Who says Cognitive Psychology isn't fun? Certainly not me!

I made Rai jealous earlier because I had my printed-out copy of Humanæ Vitæ (HA! "Æ"!) fastened onto a yellow and brown folder that has "Made in Germany" printed on the back, but in English, not in German. I don't know how that has anything to do with the jealousy issue, but then there you go.

Did you know that paracetamol is derived from coal tar? I just downed a tablet of paracetamol. So does that mean I have a coal tar derivative in my system right now?

Why is the blue sky?

What's the point, PowerPoint?

See you later, Wally Gator!

Yesterday, this made me late for my first class. We were not amused.

Today, this one in fact did not make me late for class, but it made me pay more than I usually do for my ride to school.

I'm starting to think that the Ayala Tunnel is cursed.

I had my eyes checked earlier, because I noticed that all throughout the summer term I kept on squinting at the blackboard/projector screen whenever I took down notes, even as I sat in the front row, wearing contact lenses. (Also, I was kind of shocked that I didn't have my eyes checked last year. Why did I forget?)

Anyway, it turns out that my left eye changed more than my right one, because from -1.25, it went up to -2.25, as compared to my right eye, which changed from -1.75 to -2.25. My astigmatism is still low, thankfully, so I don't have much problems with that.

The good news is, my prescription for both eyes are equal now! It won't matter if I accidentally put on my contacts wrong, though it would be kind of gross.
