I know, such an un-collegelike professor, ugh.
Five Things You May Not Know About the Job/s I Have (or Had)

This morning I was bawling my eyes, brain and lungs out while talking to Jang on the cellular phone (oooh, cellular). My Baguio trip is slowly becoming difficult to realize, ngayon pa, that it's only seven days away! Then I said the words that I thought I will never say to anyone, not even to Jang, not even to my parents. I always thought I am strong, brave, independent and so on but I said them: Kailangan kita. So dramatic.. and I thought I'd feel inadequate afterwards but then all I feel is relief.. like, whew, it's okay to need someone else sometimes, it's okay, it's okay..
On a lighter note, I'm loving the new Coke commercial, who's that girl?
