East of Eden

"i believe that there is one story in the world, and only one... Humans are caught - in their lives, in their thoughts, in their hungers and ambitions, in their avarice and cruelty, and in their kindness and generosity too - in a net of good and evil... and it occurs to me that evil must constantly respawn, while good, while virtue, is immortal."




-John Steinbeck, East of Eden

Of MD5, Personality, and Projective Tests

when greg asked me to be his subject for one of his psych reports this semester, natuwa ako at na-excite. imagine, i could be able to find out if i'm normal or not for free! hehe. kidding. seriously, if it weren't for greg, i wouldn't have agreed to be subjected to a series of psychological tests. hehe. that's how i trust him. naks, bibop!

so there, i went to UST kanina. we met at wendy's with ivan then nilibre niya (greg) muna ko for merienda at wendy's. kasi daw client niya ako! haha. o dba! ang swerte naman ng mga future clients niya. after that, i took some of the psy exams. i was personally administered by him. naku, parang professional na talaga si greg! swear! he was like this: "ok kat, read the directions together with me." then afterwards he would say, "ok, if you need anything, or if you have questions, i'll just be standing right there." natatawa nga ako eh. tapos siya naman.. pag hindi nakatingin yung prof nila, he would say, "kat! ano ka ba! wag kang smile ng smile!" i'm not used to his being formal kasi. buddy-buddy ko kasi siya talaga back in hs. he's still one of the guys whom i'm comfortable being with until now.

after the exams, we went to sm edsa. sinamahan ko siya to buy his exchange gift for their party. we were supposed to watch a movie. i wanted to watch just like heaven sana pero puro king kong na yung showing sa cinemas. eh tomorrow namin papanoorin yung king kong at eastwood with our other hs friends. so ayun, we decided to eat dinner na lang. after a couple of undirected walks of searching for some chinese or japanese resto, we ended up at super bowl. ang daming tao sa lahat ng tinignan naming restos na ndi pa namin na ttry. so ayun, sa super bowl rin ang bagsak namin. hehe. we ended up paying P500 plus ata for our bill. grabe, dadalawa lang naman kami. not to mention, we're on a diet pa sa lagay na yan! hahaha. ok lang, fun naman eh. :D

High

Will it ever be?
I've tried so hard to find sweet serenity
Are you still afraid?
Just close your eyes and dream,
and feel it fade away.

Time won't flow, everyone knows
When the pain fades away
And dreams won't die, with tears in our eyes
You've got to hold your head up high….

It's taken some time,
And I've given up the will to change your state of mind
Try and understand,
It's not so hard to see that I am just a man.

Time won't flow, everyone knows
When the pain fades away
And dreams won't die, with tears in our eyes
You've got to hold your head up high….

Will it ever be?

You've got to hold your head up high….


Ayan, I found the lyrics! hehe.. naririndi na kasi saken sina mina at kris ng kakakanta ko ng "time won't flow.. everyone knows... lalalalalala... and dreams won't die... lalalala.. you've got to hold your head up hiiiiiigh!" ng paulit ulit ulit.. hehehe.. ang ganda talaga ng version nito with barbie almabis. the first time i heard it, it never ceased to play in my mind. kahit nung nag eexam ako for marketing, eto yung paulit ulit kong nakakanta in my mind. hehe. haaaay, speaking of that exam, ang haba niya ah! tapos si kris naman daw, when she was having her exam sa managerial accounting, yung theme song ng sea games yung nakakanta niya.. hahaha.. until sa campus sale.. paulit ulit niyang kinakanta.. "sulong, laban.. blah blah blah..." ang funny..
