a boring day!
i went directly to this internet shop right after my german class. staring at the computer screen for quite a while and i don't even know how to start... was it because i just feel ambivalent to share my thoughts, was it because this day has been boring or was it because my tooth is still aching and i still need some sleep?
my tooth has been badly hurting me since last night and i wasn't able to have a good night sleep. i don't have the medicines i need so i have to settle for this chinese balm.
while in the class, it still aching and i can't function so well. Scheiße!
i was able to find some pain reliever and anti-biotic at my aunt's house. (thank God!)
damn it! it still aches though. hope it will subside soon.
i have to keep myself busy so i may at least won't mind my toothache so i logged in to the net. i have no new e-mails. Schade!
so this day is basically being boring! there are no malls here like at home. the city can only offer big department stores. i wouldn't want to check these shops. they will only give me headaches.
it's a bit cold outside, so strolling aroung won't be a good idea.
there are a lot of international restaurants but i miss the wide range of fast foods in manila. damn, how it makes me miss home.
so, what shall i do today?

my lost shoes...
after my german class, i went to the shoe store where i have seen this HUGO BOSS shoes. i was having a great time looking at the clothes from HUGO BOSS and little did i know that something will surprise me. afterwards i came to visit "the shoes" that i am planning to buy.
there are two news about it. the good one is that they have reduced the price from 140€ to 100€. how i was so happy then because i really waited for the price to be reduced.
then i looked for the color that i want. i have asked the sales person if they still have other colors beside the one displayed. he told me that they don't have anymore stock of that shoes of another color...
how it has shattered me!
i was enfolded by panic. so i went to the other shops to check if they have the shoes i want. unfortunately, the shops doesn't have the color that i want.
now i'm ranting about it.
what shall i do?
should i settle for the same design but different color?
i should check out other shops. but not here in my city. i must go to Köln and check it.
will i ever have the shoes that i want... or am i just going to settle for the other color?

regular doze of solitude
it was said that a regular doze of solitude is good for a person. so, how much is that regular doze!?!
i think i'm already having to much of it...
being addicted to it isn't good...
and having an over doze is even worse!
it isn't so easy living alone especially if your in a foreign country. you basically have to learn how to stand on your own. having friends will be a good solution but your schedules must meet. at the end of the day, you will still end up being alone...
calling friends at home will be a costly thing to do and the net is always the next best thing in my mind. it somehow eases the burden... for a while at least...

what the hell am i doing here???
after a surprise test thet was given to us by our teacher, my head bursted. Scheiße! ang hirap! i should have reviewed. napag-aralan na namin lahat 'yun kasi. bukas malalaman ko kung ano ang score ko.
while we are protesting about the surprise exam, i asked myself: "what the hell am i doing here? why am i studying this language?"
i just answered myself: "because... you must!"
i never planned of being here. it is just something that i did for my family. they have asked me to go here after i graduated but i refused. i stayed and worked in manila. i like it better there.
something happened... (i'll tell it some other time... perhaps on june) so they have pleaded me to go here. sumunod na lang ako! when my visa was granted, pakiramdam ko tinaningan na ako.
it was nice to be reunited with your family but i am missing my life in the philippines. i am much more free there!
what's ironic about it is that they have to leave me here. so, back to being "home alone" na naman ako. okay lang sana kaya lang iba kasi ang buhay dito. i find it better in the philippines!
after some months, i have learned to like it here. i have gained lots of friends. they have made my stay here nicer. having foreigner friends also made it more interesting because you are learning different cultures especially when the person is extra-interesting. hehehe.
i don't like the german language that much 'coz it's quite difficult but having a cute and interesting seatmate makes every day in school worth having...

not so bad...
our teacher gave us back our test papers and it wasn't so bad. i scored 89 out of 120. knowing that i never reviewed, okay 'yun! paano pa kung nag-aral ako. i must study next time to have higher grades though.
after class, as always, i went on my own. gumala ako sa buong shopping center na ilang beses at ilang ulit ko nang nalibot. pwede ko nga sigurong lakarin 'yun ng nakapiring ang mata.
labas masok ako sa mga tindahan... tumingin-tingin... nag-sukat kahit hindi naman bibili... nagtanong... pinag-kumpara ang librong "the da vinci code", dahil nakakita ako ng dalawang libro na mag-kaiba ang publisher. inisip ko tuloy kung ano ang dapat kong bilin. hindi ko alam kung may pagkakaiba nga ba 'yun kaya lumabas na lang ako.
tumingin din ako ng cd's and dvd's. inisip ko kung bibilin ko ang "the lord of the rings" trilogy. pero naisip ko na medyo mahal din siya for 40 €. nag-kuripot na naman ako.
napadaan ako sa isang hobby shop at nakita ko sa display sa labas ang isang angebot (offer). 7 60 ml. acrilic paints with 2 paint brushes and a pallette. not bad for 20 €. i bought it 'coz i have been thinking of reviving an old hobby.
i made my voice working again, so why not wave my hands with brushes again as well. i have concentrated on poetry and have set the other talents aside. why not!?!
it's not so bad!

it's getting warmer!!!
the past days are getting relatively warmer. i am so glad na pwede na akong magsuot ng t-shirts and shorts. wala nang pullovers and jackets! sarap!
we even grilled barbeque yesterday in the park. what a day! it's nice that i don't have any polen allergies yet.
