Hey!
I'll be celebrating my one-year anniversary
for being a blogger!
that would be on October 31.
And yes! I'm excited!

hmm...
la lang.
Heh heh.

Yesterday, I had a little heart attack of my life.

I was alone in the house yesterday. After playing Facebook, I wanted to pee. So without second thoughts I went to our loo, and since the door was already open wide, I entered and switched the light on. And when I was heading to the faucet to turn it on, just when I turned my head, there in front of my eyes, nearly, very nearly inches before my face, right below the switch, was this.

Oh not that!
that's too... congenial.
This one!



No, that's too...
cool!
really, let's get serious!


That's the one.
A gecko.
A very large gecko.

probably a ruler and a half.

I was too surprised that I covered my eyes, stuck myself to the wall of the loo (yeah i didn't leave!) and freaked out. Before my ego decided to desert me, I opened my eyes, took a very quick glimpse at the little amphibian, which was now inches above the switch, and ran for my dear life!
Why bother turning the lights off? What am I, crazy?

Whew.

Now really, every time I look back, I laugh at myself as my hairs prickled with goosebumps and my heart does that loud thudding sound. Shucks, I really was nuts, wasn't I? I left the loo's lights on for an hour because I was too scared to get too close. Remember those myths. Not that I believed them, but it's better to keep my distance, right?
When I looked back, there it was, still clinging on the wall, now outside the loo. Whoa, imagine my jitters.
crazy, little freak. haha!

But actually, these geckos are a friendly bunch. We actually have two in the house, and they travel a lot. Yeah. travel around the house. They make those loud, echoing sound gurgling from their throats, and before you can think of anything else, you'll just think,
"tuko! tuko! tuko! Naa napud..."
They say if a tuko or a gecko lives in your house, it means good luck. They actually thrive in peaceful places, and quiet homes. Now you get the idea? For the past five months our house has been seldomly inhabited because most of us live in the other house in Mandaue (for convenience) and just return every weekend. So, these geckos had a chance to roam around and enjoy the tranquility. heh heh. But you know, even before we stayed in Mandaue, these geckos were still here. They've been actually here for almost four years. I wonder why?

I try to forget their unblinking eyes, rough skin and humongous lengths and sizes. Come to think of it, they're actually 'innocent' and very helpful in keeping a mosquito- and fly-free home. But gee... they're still creepy.

And you can't blame me for that.

Yes! Finally, FINALS is over. (actually, it's been a week since it's over.) It's already our sem break, but crap, it's not really what you call an ideal sem break. I've gone to our school four days in a row because of clearance. Grr. I've had enough of those since I was in elementary, and now in college! waaa, roll over, scream a little scream of annoyance. But anyway, I've got no choice, haven't I? If i didn't pass I won't be able to enroll for the next semester.

I don't want to think about marks. especially math...! It's a pain in the neck.

Anyway, I don't have those hangover teens usually get during long breaks. I'm just in the house, interneting--if there's a term like that--coz I haven't checked my mails for more than a week, and watch TV like I haven't watched for years! well, not really years, but months. see, we don't have any TV in the other house, nor a radio, that's why I'm very outdated about everything. I'm out of anything new, and I don't even have some light bulbs of nagbabagang-balita. I've been thinking for weeks, "What's in the world?" and "What's going on?" shenanigans. Not that I totally cared, but... c'mon. As a social being, we always have that nagging feeling of incompleteness whenever we lose touch with the real world. We have to know.
I have to know.
Naks.
Let me restate that.
I'd like to know.
That's better.

That's why I'm catching up on the goings-on before I infiltrate Anatomy and Physiology on the next sem. I want to watch Ripley's and the last days of Iisa pa lamang. yeah. hehe. I'm catching up on anime and Manga too, like Naruto and Wallflower. Char. :)
I also want to watch movies, only my cousin's DVD player is with his bro.
I'm also catching up with my sleep in order to revitalize. I'm enjoying peace and order since I'm alone in the house most of the time and the rest of my family are in the other house on the other side of Cebu for good school proximity.
In short, I'm a homebody for these weeks of break. Yeah.
That sounds understandable, right? Hmmm. Maybe it's better for me. ...oh yeah, it is.
Recharge. haha.

I don't know what's in store for me for the upcoming months of uncertainty, but for sure I'll face them with pure hardship and perseverance. But of course, before that, I'm gonna have my time in my short vaca.

Yep yep.
:)

I have a lot to share this week! so many experiences... from wall climbing to mountain view...
not quite exasperating, with all our money going down the drain. haha! really. :)
but it was fun! so fun that i didn't mind the expenses mounting with prior notice--er, a bit. :)
I'll tell you all about it after i catch up with the school stuff. i actually have a lot of things to do as of the moment.
so, toodles! for now...!
