the last tallies

Mamimiss ko rin to.

We won't be having classroom training anymore.

*******

Makulit si JM.

We would be in classroom and...

JM: Cory Bells! *whack! on the arm*

and then...

JM: Cory Bells! *whack! on the arm*

or

JM: (silencio...) *whack!*

or

JM: (silence...) *pinch on the arm*
Cory: Ow!

*******

I think I'm closest to JM and Zeph actually. Mamimiss ko rin ang kakulitan sa classroom.

*******

Maybe this is the last few tallies for going out of the classroom. ^_^

*******

I arrived at work a few minutes earlier than usual. I headed directly to the training room and began logging into the pc. JM arrived and took his seat beside mine.

JM: (noticing I arrived earlier than him) I think this is the first time...

Cory: (moving away from the pc) Haha. (I whacked him on his back.)

JM: Are you going out again, Cory? (He was calling out as I began heading for the door. Salbahes to si JM...hehe.)

Cory: (responding) Heh!

*******

In another time, I had just got back to the training room from going out. It had already been my nth time to go out of the training room that night.

JM: Saan ka galing?

Cory: Pantry. (I was speaking defensively.) I was taking vitamins!

Later...

Our trainer was wrapping up the classroom discussion. The moment she was done, I swiveled in my chair in a half-arc and in one, smooth motion, I was out of it and already at the door to go out of the training room.

As I was just about a step beyond the gaping door, JM noticed in time and hissed, "Psssst! Where are you going???" Tatawa-tawa pa.

I stood there uncertainly beyond the open door as I tried to think of a reason that was not overused. I could think of none. I made a face at JM and left. Hehe.

conceit and humility :)

The following is a vague but accurate account in my estimation. It is vague in the sense that I am not able to reproduce each utterance exactly to the letter and accurate in that it pretty much captures the gist of the conversation that took place. :) Characters: Ivy - sitting on a single sofa Abbey, Cory, and Clyde - sitting side-by-side on a three-person couch Therefore, x xxx Abbey was holding my cellphone in her hands and had undertook to play Bounce Tales. I sat to her right, a book in my hands. Clyde sits beside me, before my open laptop, reading an online article. Abbey says she doesn't like Bounce. I suggest that she might like to play Sudoku instead, but she doesn't. Cory: Don't you like Sudoku? Abbey: I do. I'm good at it. Cory: (commenting on the state of knowing you are good at something) I feel the same way, too. (nodding in agreement) I'm pretty good with words. Abbey: Sudoku is not in words. It's not a crossword puzzle. Cory: I know. What I mean

valentines 2011

I had almost forgotten that it was valentines that day. I tried to recall how I spent last year's valentines but for a moment, my mind was blank until it came to me that I had spent it at the Hot Air Balloon Festival held in Subic that year. I was with Clyde, Cherry, Maricel, Cress, et al. that day. I got off the tricycle at our gate to find my brother's car waiting for its passengers. We were going to head off to this swimming pool resort called Bethany - me, my sister, Ate Irene, Ate Ruth, Ruro, Renz and Manoy Rudyard. What was the occasion, I wondered. Oh, it was valentines. I had forgotten. I hurriedly got into the house, debated whether to take my laptop or the portable DVD player, then decided on the latter, not wanting to risk my precious laptop getting wet in the event that it might. And off we were and it was such a novel experience for me, maybe even a valentines to remember, because it was the first valentines that I ever celebrated with any of my family members. I
