week-long ordeal

unproductive is an understatement in describing the week that i've had. went to bicol for the elections, earned some dough, met new acquaintances, but never opened a single book in preparation for the bar! argh. i feel as if my iq level just dropped a notch for the lack of any intellectual activity which is geared towards attaining that highly coveted supreme court license. what's worse is that i am not feeling that sense of panic that should've sunk in today so as to enable me to be in that review mode again. add that to the fact that my allergic rhinitis kicked in for the whole morning and that my body aches all over, and voila, you have one freaking unproductive week.

but wait, there's more! i went to albay with my partner lawyer to visit some of his relatives in tobaco city, and along the way, we passed by the world famous Mt. Mayon, which of course i have never laid eyes on before. and guess what, when we were at its foot, what do i see? umm, nothing! the whole mountain peak was freakin covered with clouds. i never even got a decent picture of it. argh, what the f*ck!

wanna see those pictures? well, here they are:




sucks, right? anyway, there's one upside though. and guess what it is... i freakin tried wakeboarding!!! 'twas soooo cool. we were staying at the camsur watersports complex in pili, camarines sur, and we got to try their watersports for free!!! nice perq huh!

i first tried the kneeboard, and i easily got the hang of it. it was such a rush that i decided to try the next big thing! water skiis! unfortunately though, i never made it past the initial pull of the string. i just sank in the water head on everytime i felt the weight of my body. i guess i need some more gym time, oh well.

since i got frustrated trying the skis over and over again, i decided to go on to the ultimate rush, wakeboards!!! i was so determined to learn how to do it that i tried and tried until i got nasty blisters on my hand. and guess what again... tantarararan: i never freaking got it! i was never able to pull myself up let alone stand on those freakin boards! it looks easy doing it, right? well, wrong. it was hard as hell. not to mention the fact that i am with these 13 year old kids who also do not know how to do it. sheez, i'm 25 and i'm having classes with those pre-teens, what a drag!

BUT I STILL ENJOYED EVERY SECOND OF IT. it was such a saver that i immediately forgot, and decided to let go, of the very unproductive week that i've had. hey, i can get to say that i tried wakeboarding, right? and for free at that. so all's well...

by the way, i can now connect my phone to my pc again, so expect some more pics the next time i blog. 'til, then. ;p
