Last Summer Notes
Saturday, May 23, 2009 @ 1:26 AM

A few hours ago, I got back from a big family dinner at Jozu, which is a so-so Japanese restaurant in (on?) Tomas Morato. It was quite unexpected. I had just woken up from a 13-hour sleep (major LOL) at 5PM, and an hour later my brother tells me to dress up for dinner out—his graduation dinner. To be honest, it's kind of weird thinking of him graduating because, seriously speaking here, an academic achievement is not a likely term to associate with my brother. I'm not saying he's incapable, but he just isn't very serious about education, that's all. I think he's going to be a lawyer ... I think.

Anyway, I'm so excited for this week to come because I finally have a busy week!—for me, at least. Tomorrow I'm going to the gym, as well as this coming Tuesday and Friday. For Monday, I'm going to be practicing piano the whole day until late afternoon, when my teacher will arrive for my lesson. And as for the remaining Wednesday and Thursday, I'll have a movie marathon!—in theaters! 8D

If it pushes through (and I damn well hope it does), Elina, Nasty, and I will meet up at the Podium to see Duplicity, the comedic spy movie with Julia Roberts and Clive Owen—the latter person being one of my all-time favorite actors after I saw him in Children of Men, possibly one of the greatest movies ever made. It was a knockout.

On Thursday, I'll be going to Shang with Krista to see Star Trek, Angels and Demons, and (I suppose) Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian. It's going to be a definite movie marathon, and I'm really excited because I haven't seen a movie in theaters since, God, 17 Again—which for me, felt like forever ago. And especially after having that fight with my mom and hence not being able to watch Star Trek, I'm relieved. x)

On a more serious note, Tuesday is also enrollment day, and I think I'll pop in school with my mom, specifically to get forms for the UPCAT—which I know I'm not so prepared for right now as compared to, well, everyone else who actually took review classes; but hell, I think no matter what, I'm not going to allow myself to fail my future. Unlike tests or seatworks, this is my entire life I'm holding with a Mongol No. 2 pencil.

Moving on to even heavier matters, the swine flu is scaring my parents into not traveling to the States anymore, so that promising vacation plan has been abandoned. Especially since the virus has now arrived in our own country, we're going to want to somewhat quarantine ourselves until that thing is gone.

It's hard to believe that senior year is fast approaching, partly because I can't believe I'll be a senior, and also because summer has been so quick just to end in a matter of two weeks. I suppose this is going to be one of my last few entries to post about the summer, and to post without feeling any stress.
