currently listening to: be on you - flo rida ft. ne-yo

i was supposed to wake up at 4:30 AM this morning to get ready for school. i ended up waking at 5 AM instead. that mishap cost me my breakfast. i brought the shawarma with me but it smelled funky by the time i thought to eat it on the bus. i arrived at school in plenty of time so i really regret not having a proper breakfast.

the trip to bulacan was pretty uneventful but it was fun just chatting with mikka. for once, it didn't take long to get to the destination. when we got there, i did not prepare myself for a 30-minute walk under the sun. the fact that i had to be at the front of the line (of my section) made it very boring.

we got right down to business, laying out the sacks for us to sit on. after a lot more moving around, everyone finally settled down. the kind farmers taught us the very basics of "pag-gapas" and of stacking the uhay. boots and long sleeves on, we walked to the palayan. i was one of the first few who got their hands on a karet. definitely a dangerous thing to be swinging around. actually, forget swinging it around. it should be held with caution. after doing that, i focused my energy on just transferring the cut up uhay to the pilapil. only to find out that everything was going to be put in this giant mound in the middle. total waste of energy (the earlier part). i finally managed to sit down and found the ground to be crawling with all kinds of insects. nature at its best.

the place where we had lunch (and convened earlier) was too small for all the seniors so it took me a while to find a spot to eat. i didn't even chat with the people because i was so friggin' hungry. i ate a whole tilapia. mmm, good stuff. i would also like to thank my classmates who bought coke litro for everyone to share. and to celina, for sharing her glass with me :) i did get my own after a while (thanks to my classmates for that too).

the class presentations followed after lunch. i just sat down in a semi-shaded area and cooled down. i zoned out for the most part but it was fun. the route we took back to the bus was much shorter this time. i guess they wanted us to appreciate the horizons of the province before.

again, the trip back to school was short. i got a headache (probably caused by being in the sun for so long (i know. the farmers do that everyday. it's a very maarte thing to say. i admit that.)).

waited for my dad to pick me up until 5:30. we went through the jollibee drive through. that was a really good decision because we were stuck in traffic.

a'ight. time for me to contemplate whether i'll do the religion homework now or later.
