odds & ends

odd things that happened to me lately:

(1) the best lunch i had was pancakes and maple syrup. yup. lunch. and dinner, in fact. never knew that *real* maple syrup tasted so much better than the maple-flavored syrups in groceries. yummy!

(2) almost nobody at school was concentrating on their lessons. everybody wanted to practice for the sayawit. hmm. the school was in some kind of "celebratory" mood the entire week.

(3) due to the irregular classes, half the time i couldn't remember what day it was.. and the rest of the time, i don't think anybody else does Ü not that anyone really cared.. hehehe Ü

(4) i went through friday the 26th in a daze.. not crying, but not smiling. it was really odd spending the day all by my lonesome.. and not seeing him at all. but i was able to cope. managed myself quite well, actually.. under the circumstances.

(5) choir practice was held not on the usual saturday morning, but on friday. i wasn't there, though.. and it felt kinda weird. no regrets.. but it still felt odd, not being at practice. hehe, at least i was able to rest.. sort of.. Ü

(6) i went to a retreat i never planned to go to. i enjoyed myself a lot.. and i really benefited from it (read my post, "amazing grace"). nevertheless, the impact it had on me was unexpected.

(7) my sunday was unusual, as i left megamall early (read: before 3pm). dad and i attended a fellowship/bday party. it was ok. strangely, i had fun at the party.. and i was able to spend some time with a friend i haven't talked to for a long time Ü

(8) found out we wouldn't have classes *again* today (monday). great. i'm grateful for the rest day.. had a hectic weekend, after all. but i'm really beginning to worry 'bout my MTh classes (wonder if my students feel the same, too hehehe Ü)

(9) ney spent an entire day with me today ÜÜÜ a couple of weeks ago, this would not be out of the ordinary, but given the situation right now, this is surprisingly (but very happily) odd. THANK GOD FOR NO CLASSES!!! Ü

(10) i was able to cook a decent caldereta for ney today Ü now, anyone who knows me well would definitely say that's weird, haha. i don't cook. never did like it.. but today, i really enjoyed being in the kitchen with ney Ü oh.. and we made a decent ref cake too! Ü

so much for the odd things. happily odd things, i may say Ü now's the start of another week. i don't mind more weird stuff coming my way. i just hope the happiness does not end.. not even after two months.. Ü
