And so i danced.
Tuesday, July 19th, 2005silly requirements. so i danced for the way-beyond-sane as part of my duty. together with my group J, we danced a la Travolta. ha-ha. and danced the dreaded chokolate as part of the "socialization" game. oh. some fun, huh? well, you don’t get to have this experience all the time, right?
so, with my "nurses call the shots" shirt, i danced.
the whole place stank with old urine and sewer water. there’s hardly any ventilation, so probably my descri would’ve already given you the idea how it was…to stay there.
but i can’t do anything but take pity, stretch out my collar, dunk my nostrils in and smell myself instead. and dance. yeah, there were naked men, some having their piss anywhere. but heck, they’re not sane so that’s some excuse.
anyway, it was fun dancing with "elvis presley".
i will never forget jessie and mamma’s felix. and mang henry and rico. the people who stay there because they don’t have families to share their lives with…those who are straight and sane but won’t go because they do not wish to go their old ways…drinking and seeing stars.
that day, they had a big lunch.and balloons!
goodbye to all that dancing! it was fun but crazy.

Back sat, my group J and i had our thesis defense.

the whole time, dell and i drank unlimited black coffee.
and went home late because of the terrible traffic caused by the rally at the grandstand.

back sun, had a forced recollection.you know, school.
after that, i went to clinica arellano to get my ma’s presc. it’s an old hospital and it’s for sale. hey, if you have an altruistic personality, buy it and put it back to its former glory. the location isn’t good, because it’s at the back of chinatown but if you have dinero, GO!
what i like about the place is its design…the rainbow tiles…the lanterns…i recommend that if you buy it, restore it because it’s so antiquely beautiful.
i am also amazed by the doctors. dr. goquilay arellano…she’s in her 90’s but she looks a whole deal younger…she can still walk and ballroom dance. dr. centeno’s hair…wow. it’s so diva-ish.
anyway, it took me some time to get the prescrip because the nurse forgot to endorse it and it got lost so i had to wait. i sat on the old bench admiring the old glamour of the place while getting insect bites. the whole place seem deserted…so quiet…the old electric fan…it must be older that i…
dr. centeno arrived at almost 8 pm so i wasn’t able to savor chinatown. it’s a sunday so it’s dark and i had to walk fast. i dropped by a lumpia shop at ongpin for dinner.
a must go to for hopia addicts: Eng Ho Bakery at T. alonso st.
a must for lumpia addicts: the original lumpia at ongpin st.
try organic green tea for 50 pesos/25 bags at ronquillo drug store in front of the carriedo fountain.

i’d like to thank my kind friend, mrs. carol gawat for all the help she gave yesterday. you are ever so thoughtful. People like you, are and will always be showered with God’s blessings.
She’s so unlike some people who seem to be your friends but suddenly turn to bitches for no apparent reason. you don’t know whether their personality was a result of poor parenting or poor schooling or something like that.so superficial. yuck. (am i hinting on someone? nah)
