Waiting for a favor...

Right now, I am waiting for someone. Although I am generally not a patient person, this is one of the times which would qualify as an exemption. After all, it was I who asked the favor. I just need to pass the time. Thank goodness I found a coffee shop with free Wi-Fi access here in SM Southmall. Of course, I would hope my battery lasts. But still, an hour and 40 minutes as of this, I think it would.

Thinking of what happened for the last few hours, I guess I really haven't grown that much. Yes, I seem to be able to control my temper better. But my prankster side still lives on. I still tend to overthink things. And yes, I still find it difficult to find motivation in the things I do.

Over the past few days, I have seen several blog posts that got me thinking. Aside from that, the songs I heard for the past few days also get me nostalgic. I admit. There is a certain someone I want to see again after all these years. But the chances for that are slim. Still, I would be happy if I did.

Oh yeah. My trusty Compaq is now in the shop for repairs. Yes, it is time for its broken key to be repaired. Most likely, when it comes back, my dad will have a system to take his work around with him. Although I can't imagine him lugging it around everyday like I do, well, that's what the car is for.

I also learned that there are quite a lot of photographers in the family. Something to live up to? Nah. I figured by now, I have my own style and my own pace. I don't need a DSLR right now. Although it would be a nice addition to my arsenal. Photography-wise, I am sort of rediscovering the world of film. Add to that the mistakes I made, disappointing as it is, its fine. I'll take that as a reminder that I'm still learning, which I am.

Sheesh. The music here is really getting me into a nostalgic. What's playing now is "Here Without You". Not that I have someone to dedicate that song to. I might have at one point though. Hehe.

Before I forget, thanks to the person doing this favor for me. Really, I appreciate it. Its not just the hassle of going to school and back, the cost of doing so and the time its going to waste. I have some time now to myself while waiting. And typing this is giving me a chance to clear my mind of things.

Going back on the way I'm writing this, I guess it might be obvious. My mind is chaotic right now. Random thoughts, here and there. It's kind of fortunate that I am not walking around with swirly lines in place of eyes. Another thing, this is the first long blog I wrote in a long time. The first one in a really long time that isn't a gadget review too. Come to think of it, its been a long time since I made one of those.

Come to think of it, in less than ten days, I'll be through with my OJT. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I don't think I would be able to take any summer classes. Regardless, I already accept the fact that I won't graduate on time. I decided that I will not risk the rest of my academic subjects by overloading this coming term. I am already taking a subject I should have re-taken almost three ears ago. And of course, the largest hurdle so far, thesis. I have come this far, allow me to quote "No retreat, no surrender" for my college life.

In the time it took me to write this, I was able to listen to a lot of music. I was able to browse some sites, and I was able to eat a bit. But I still haven't finished my drink. I still have roughly an hour of battery life remaining but I don't intend to drain it completely. Some of my officemates wanted to watch Grey's Anatomy this afternoon, I refused. But I let them watch the RELSTRI video I kept in a dvd. Maybe tomorrow I'll let them.

Regardless, I'll end this entry a bit early. I don't want the clichè bit of having the person I'm waiting for coming round the corner and ending it right there. It's too clichè even for me. Good thing really that this place has Wi-Fi. It goes up to around 50kB/s download so its not bad. Wish there was a Burger King around though. I could have spent less on food. Then again, if I have to splurge on something, I'd rather it be food.

P.S. I have a 36-shot still encased in my camera. Yes, a film camera. With around six shots left, any idea what I could use it on? Please... PLEASE not fireworks. Hehe... That probably occupies more than half of it in there already.

If you read this to the end, I'm taking that you're either really bored or you happen to be one of my close friends/relatives or one of the people interested in my life. I guess if you DO read this to the end, a little appreciation is in order. Thanks for not letting my effort go to waste. Then again, it won't even if no one reads this.

On a final note, NO, the person I'm waiting for isn't here yet. Hahahaha
