music: Blow Out- Siam Shade
------------------------------------
I have returned... And in one piece... I amaze myself... And the fine people at Greenwich amaze me as well... I had my dinner delivered and they gave me a "Ka-G" card... It's shaped in a triangle, like a little pizza slice, ain't that clever..? Unfortunately however, that is not the case with their instructions... Allow me to clarify this with a quote:
"Valid for dine-in, take out and delivery only..."
Ok... Thanks for clearing that up... Next time I try to rob your freakin' restaurant, I won't bring along my benefit card... God, people... This reminds me of the time when I read "for indoor and outdoor use only" on our box of Christmas lights... *rolls eyes* But don't get me wrong though... I love Greenwich... <3
Now, back to me... Alter-me: Attention whore... Me: Shut up bitch..! Today was just lovely... And by lovely, I mean a piece of crap... When my brain gets back from vacation, I'm gonna have a word with that bitch... Honestly, I don't know what happened to my IQ... If my theories are correct, then I really am getting dumber and dumber with each passing year... I mean, it starts with not being able to pick up my friends jokes and ends with me almost getting hit by a jeepney... Oh happy day...
It started out normally enough... A bit frantic coz I was trying to fix my college application form... That would have been alright if it wasn't 9:00... So what, you may ask..? That's the time I was supposed to meet my friends at school... Which is a 45 minute trip from home... But that happens all the time... Which has resulted in my friends telling me to meet them 30 minutes before the actual time... So anyway, we meet at school, have a few jokes thrown my way, (A few I have to wait for my brain to pick up the phone and answer... I wonder where it went... I hope it sends a postcard...) trip on the sidewalk, yet still avoid making a complete fool of myself...
So we make it to the bank... My friends are fidgetty since they came from there yesterday and got embarrassed by the security guard... So trying to avoid getting recognized, they ask me to ask for the receipts... Now, I know nothing about these sorts of things... I've probably only been inside a bank 5 times in my entire life... So I'm standing there while my friends tell me to get the receipts... So I ask them "What receipts..? How many..? What..?" And the guards are just looking at me all smug and smirking... I looked like a complete idiot... So I asked my friend if she could get the goddamn receipts instead of me since I know nothing of what to do... And she says she doesn't either... So I blurted out, "So I'm the one you're putting up for humiliation here..?" loose translation She kind of laughed after that and the guards still had their "I'm so great" looks on ther faces... And after quite a while, one of them finally handed me 6 receipt slips... He knew what we needed but he decided to make me suffer... Grr... Son of a... Now this being the first time we pay for the entrance exam fees, we didn't know what to put under the account number and other what-not so my other friend who already paid tells us what to write... And it turns out that what she said was completely wrong, which we found out thanks to our batchmate who was also there to pay the UPCAT fees... So they send me to get more slips, and I reluctantly go, extremely uneager to see and hear the guards' reactions... Now I, all polite and timid, ask for more receipts... And the guard laughs and goes "What if I don't want to give you any..?" And so I just stand there, dead silent and with a blank stare on my face... The guy gives in and says "Fine, as long as you need 'em, we'll give them to you... Just make sure you pass the test..." So I just take the receipts, thank the guy and give a slight bow (Don't ask... It's become an involuntary action...) and walk back to my pals who are sitting on the cushy chairs... Our other batchmate goes to pay at the counter, and she comes back, bearing corrections... Damn, banks are picky... So my friends try to send me back, but I fight them back with the fact that I got the damn receipts the first time, so one of them should get them now... So after a bit of passing the deed around, one of them finally stands up gets picked on by the guard, yet again and comes back... Luckily this time we get the thing right and go up to the counter... Easy enough you think, smooth sailing from now on... I go up to the counter, show my forms, get handed my receipt by the teller and walk away... Well, it would be ok if only I remembered to pay... So I get called back and people look at me like I'm some kind of demon child... My friends giggle and we leave... I try my best to look dignified, but fail miserably... And as we step out the door, the guards wish us luck on our exams... It almost makes me want to fail now...^^; Honestly, I found the guards to be slightly amusing, if they decided to victimize someone other than us, then I would have found them pretty funny... But due to... Feminine problems, I didn't... I swear to God, I will not re-enter that bank until a.) I get plastic surgery or b.) I age enough to be completely unrecognizable... *sigh* All that trouble... And UP isn't even my first choice... XD
So then we head over to SM coz I need to have my picture taken for the forms... Me = procrastinator... I usually hate this kind of thing since I look awful in photographs... The photographer kept telling me to smile, and I thought I was, damn it..! I don't know... My face must have some kind of defect... So I look like a psychotic bitch in my pictures... We walked around for fifteen minutes or so but we couldn't stay long because it was 10:30 and the registrar supposedly closes at 11... So it was off to school we went...
At first we thought we came too late coz the security guard didn't want to let us in but he gave in eventually because there were still a lot of people inside... Jeez... In the registrar's office, I was trying to organize my forms and staple everything that needed to be stapled on it, stapling too much, unstapling and re-stapling when our creepy guidance counselor suddenly showed up from God knows where... He's really good at popping out of nowhere... Actually, my friends say I do the same thing... Maybe I should ask for tips... Anyway, he kept on going in and out of there, asking to borrow my receipts and chatting with the other seniors in there... For some reason, he's pretty popular... I even know a few former classmates who have a crush on him... O_o *is freaked out* So enough about the guidance counselor from the unknown, and back to the whining... When it was my turn, I forgot that I had to pay for the transcript first... A trip to the accounting office later, I went back, got snubbed, waited for a while, got noticed and gave them my tiny paper thing... Then I tried to ask a question about my section and got totally brushed off... For some reason, everyone (even my friends and I) was pissy today... -insert PMS joke here-
On the way home, I dropped by the mall again to buy some CDs and lunch... I saw a few familiar faces... Or so I thought... I can never be sure with these kinds of things... I went to the CD shop first a bought a bunch of purple striped CDs with purple cases... I chuckled at the counter while I was buying them coz I had on a purple watch and was carrying a purple handkerchief at that time... So once again I get strange looks... XD Before buying food, I stopped by the bookstore to catch up on my reading... (Paolo Coelho's Veronika Decides to Die) At this time of year, it's pretty crowded in NBS because of all the people going school shopping at the last minute... Thank God I did my shopping in April... I stayed for a while, defying the "Please Avoid Private Reading" sign... When my feet began to ache, I decided to pick up some chow and go home... Which I did...
But before I got there, I had to wait for over 15 minutes outside the mall in the scorching Philippine summer heat before a jeepney finally showed up... Things went fine, nothing much to reaccount, until it was time for me to get off at my stop... So I got off, and stood to the extreme side of the road (which would be equivalent to a sidewalk if we had those here) when some random jeepney comes charging at an insane speed... I crossed the street at that time, avoiding getting hit and luckily, there weren't any cars passing on the other side... Jeepney drivers... Sheesh...
And on the walk home, I get pretty pissed and try to kick a medium sized rock down the road... Well, I kick it, but it just kind of rolls under my foot, almost making me twisting my ankle... And happily enough, some gooey lovey-dovey couple happened to be walking by and saw it... They looked pretty amused... I hate them...^^ I got rocks in my shoe and got so pissy that for the rest of the day I was whining, complaining and just being annoying... Yeah...
My day of utter shittiness... May you sadists enjoy...
P.S.
Please forgive the horrid grammar, punctuation and structure... Not like I cared bout that when I typed this, anyway...
