realizations..

when i was walking to school this morning, i just realized how routinal (is there such a word?) our lives are..well, mine for the very least. it's like everyday i'm experiencing my own "groundhog day". i wake up and press the snooze button. then i check my mail. after i get dressed, i press the down button of the elevator. i say "hi" to shao (the guard in our condo). then suddenly there's a faint breeze that brings a gag-smelling odor that just eliminates all the possibilities of you going to school with a decent smell. near wendy's i see the "taong grasa", and near mcdo, there's the pity-looking poor old woman with her disrobed little kid. then i "toot" my ID, and i'm in la salle mode once again.

it all boils down to one thing: although i am already wont to living a life like this, i need excitement in my life! something to break the barricades of routines. somebody help?

my marketing class was pretty interesting today. i mean it is everyday. but i learned how important all our "general education" subjects are like psych, sociology, etc. at first it's as if we take those subjects for additional units and additional knowledge only. and we often ask ourselves, "why do we study these anyway? it's not as if we're gonna use it if we're in the "real world" right?" but what we don't know is that all of these information are incorporated in everything we can possibly do. for example, in applying psychology, most of the world's population are right-eye dominant, that's why advertisements on the right page of newspapers and magazines are more expensive, because most people tend to look more on the right. also, companies put their logos and taglines at the bottom right of the page, because people (with the exception of those from china and saudi arabia) read from left to right, so their logos are the last one to be seen, and the only thing to be remembered. cool huh? it only goes to show that our seemingly useless subjects that we perceive to be grade-lifters are foundations for higher learning.

anyway, i'm sooooo excited about tom! my friends are sleeping over at our place, and we're planning to have a drinking session. no adult supervision! we're not really the type of barkada that drinks alcoholic beverages habitually, so this is i think a first or a second for us. (one time they did it without me! bastards! hehehe) but 2 depressed people (me and ara) means major girl talk and bonding! and what better way than to drink right? i don't want us to end up as boozehounds or anything, but give us a break!!! we need it. we deserve it. too bad mau can't go :(

can i just say, my economics midterm today was difficult. i think i deserve a Sex and the City or CSI marathon to compensate for my brain draining day.
