but we didnt care
have you ever accomplished something and been happy and sad about it at the same time? i felt that way last friday - the official last schoolwork day. why? i have no idea... i've never liked pace work. in fact, i despised it... yea, i know that i had to do it to get smarter, but to be brutally honest, it gets me sooo lazy and stuff. it gives me headaches. it makes me sleepy. it bores me. so when i passed my final pace test, i knew i had to be happy, but there was somehow, something sad about it. the sense of fulfillment was definitely there but i felt something else... something like, i dunno... dare i say it was a feeling of missing the dreadfulness of pacework? hmm. mebbe. i guess sometimes we can get so used to doing stuff, even stuff we dont like, and when it becomes a part of your everyday routine and suddenly goes away, you'll miss it. unless its like... something not missable.
so about the final day of pacework... hmm. it started out with me memorizing the last scripture memory work of the year, which was no easy task, but i did it. i finished it around after the first break, which was like 9:30 a.m. and after that i immediately started my last pace, filipino, which was difficult. for my classmates, it was a breeze, but for me... notsomuch. i had difficulty just understanding the questions. thats how much i suck at tagalog. my friends laugh at me when i speak tagalog sometimes. haha. anyhoo, yea, i had help finishing the pace and i was done with it at record time, four hours... lunch break, so i had the whole day to kill. i just went to the school's stage and lay there staring at the ceiling and listened to my ipod. then i was joined by like 5 people, and one of em, si kylie, was showing off her pet bunny, kaivi. it was a cute bunny, it likes to lick everywhere... brown bunny.
so we talked about lotsa stuff. i learned alot of things about them. so yea, i fell asleep and we all listened to the ipod. we looked weird staring up while lying down on a stage, but we didnt care. mellow songs, all the way to class dismissal. the fun started after school, we went to the street stands and had some dirty street food. you got your fish balls, squid balls, orange egg balls, kikiams, barbecues, gulaman, everything. yea, and it was all free cuz someone treated us. our parents would tell us to stay away from street vendors, but just this once, we tried it. so suddenly my friend tells me that theres this popular band playing at the mall later that night so we all went to the mall. the trip to the mall was fun too. my friend was making like really loud jokes, so loud that everyone in the frickin jeep could hear his jokes... they were not even funny, but we didnt care. the mall was packed. i mean, packed. the band was still doing like mic tests, so we started shouting, "more!" just to poke some fun... the security guard told us to stop shouting. he was like, "alis nga kayo!", but we didnt care. we did leave, but we did so laughing. it was so fun. so we went to the 4th floor and stared down at the band and shouted from there. we were like, "youuuuuuu suuuuuuuuck!". and yea, they did suck, but all the people at the 1st floor liked the band. it was stupid, i mean, they started like punching each other at the 1st floor over some band. since we were at the 4th floor, we just started jumping for no reason. everyone was staring but we didnt care... haha. so we met up with two girls from our school there and we went to mcdo. they have this promo wherein you order a float and you get a coupon that could entitle you to a free ipod shuffle. so we all about floats. like what.. 12? 12 frickin floats and no ipod! NO IPOD! we were all laughing at how silly we were. i even stood up at our table and announced like, "we still dont have our ipod!". yeah, they laughed at us, but we didnt care... we laughed with them. so after that, we went to timezone, played some basketball... nevermind who won(uh, we didnt care?)... after that, i played this shooter game with a friend and we got to the final level, but we never finished it cuz we ran out of credits. gaaaaah. after that we shot some pool... which was really fun too. the pool table was just behind the basketball machine so while we were playing, a basketball found its way into the billiard table and messed up the balls... i was like, "galing a." after that, we went to a karaoke booth but we didnt go in cuz only like 5 people were allowed per booth, so we started a pointless journey around the mall looking for the owner of the company. we never found her/him. it was fun though, the exchange of jokes and stories during the walk around the mall.
it was late. real late. the lights were closed in the mall, but we hung out for abit more... at this restaurant... uh, popeyes? yea, thats what its called. we just talked while drinking some root beer floats... weird root beer float with chocolate syrup. laughtrip pare. i swear theres something in that float, like... laughing poison or something. just something about it that made everything funny. even the stuff we talked about. so we just chilled there for a while, talking about stuff. plans. et cetera. it was getting late and the restaurant mismo had to close so we left the mall na and parted ways. galing a. i arrived home really late, and i was dead tired. but looking back at the day, it was a smashing day. simple, but fun. yea, people yelled at us and stuff, some laughed at us, but it was just so fun. being weird like that. for a whole day. uhhhhh, fun. yea, the day had drained me... the mixture of the pacework rush to finish and the jumping around the mall and stuff, kakapagod pare... but i didnt care.
