I’m one of the happiest kuyas in the world right now. My brother has just passed the Electronics and Communication Engineer Licensure exam which was conducted last weekend.

What made me even happier is that I realized that my brother is just like me. Arrogant. Haha. I asked him yesterday if the result of his exam is already out. He said no. He asked me right away to give him something if he will pass it. “Sure! Basta ba pasado e.” I replied. Then he said, “Walang problema.”

And last night (or should I say early this morning because it was past midnight), I checked the inquirer.net. To my surprise, the list of successful examinees was already there. A bit tensed, I checked it. Though I was pretty confident that he will pass the exam, there was still a feeling of nervousness.

And his name was there. I was relieved.

I called up my brother to tell him the good news. The truth is he and his classmates were waiting for the result that time. I just don’t know how come they did not check the inquirer.net. He was really happy. He even asked me who’s on the top. Yeah, he was hoping to make it in the top 10. I just laughed at him.

Now I’m thinking what to give him. Haha.

If being stubborn translates to being immature, then I would probably die immature.

It’s now three in the morning and I’m still struggling to fall asleep. I’ve been lying on this stupid bed for quite some time now. I’ve tried every possible sleeping position but to no avail.

This silent room is killing me. The dim light scares the shit out of me. The occasional chiming of nocturnal insects makes me more irritable. The cold weather makes me feel so empty.

I turn on the radio. Every station plays mellow songs. Damn, they aren’t helping me get a good sleep.

The thoughts of you then come to my mind.

It’s been months since the last time I heard from you. I don’t know where you are now. I don’t know who you are with right now. All I know is the thoughts of you occupy my mind most of the time.

I wonder if you still think of me. Maybe yes, maybe no. Everything is just maybe even from the very start. And still is months after you left.

I remember the time when you asked me, “Would you still kiss me goodnight?” I smiled at you, nodding.

How I wish you will give me the same answer if I ask you the same question now.

I’m seeing four seasons in my dreams. But it’s not sheer happiness. When I imagine myself in a magnificent place, I can’t help but be sad. I’d rather be in a random, ordinary place with the people I love than in a wonderful place to be shared with no one.

I don’t know what the future has to offer me. I don’t know what to do when things push through.

Maybe I should not think about it at this early stage. I simply have to let it be.

I just had a great weekend. Really. Took a dip in our condo pool. Ordered pizza and pasta from Domino’s and had it delivered right to our doorstep. Had picture-taking around the condo. And wrapped up the day singing our hearts out.

Yon lang.

A friend of mine who’s studying in the US left me an offline message saying she has found someone like me. At first, I was curious what she exactly meant. Then she continued explaining about the guy she met.

The way he looks at people in the eye… His silent and yet analytical look…

“Am I really like that?” I asked myself. Well, I don’t know. But one thing is for sure… It felt so good knowing that someone sees me that way.

I’m starting to get bored of my blog theme. I realized that I’m not really a minimalist. Maybe I should get a new one. A lively one…. Bored.

I watched the Eagle Eye on the big screen last night together with Abro, Esti, Manny and Bea.  Except for the mushy ending, everything about the movie is cool.

I also watched 21 just this morning. This time not on the big screen but on my laptop. I particularly liked this film because it’s a bit geeky. I can relate to the “variable change” thingy. Haha.

I actually did not intend to join Manny, Bea and AB in their weekend escapade in Sunway theme-park because I planned to continue doing my infosys project that time. But because they made me feel as if I’m unsociable, I just decided to give in to the pressure.

So, we left our condo a little past 10AM. We took a cab going to Sunway. When we got there, we headed directly to Nando’s to have brunch. No not really. We first went to a tid-bits shop where we indulged ourselves in candies, preserved fruits, dried seafood, cookies, and a lot more. Thanks to the free taste. After having a heavy meal, we found ourselves headed to the theme-park. I actually didn’t know what Sunway has to offer. I wasn’t really preapared. I told them that I won’t go swimming. But the moment I saw what’s inside, I wasted no time buying some swimming essentials – large towel, shorts, disposable undies, and sun-block. The good thing is that I got my new towel half its original price.

Okay, so the first thing we did inside the park was to try the water slides. There are 3 main variations of water slides in Sunway. There’s a steep type and a zigzaggy type that are enjoyed by pair. In these slides, you will also need an inflatable swimming ring. The third type is also a steep one but you will just lie on your stomach using a slippery yoga mat-like rubber board. I must say that the last one is the best. (Picture on the right)

There’s also this 203-meter Flying Fox where you can glide from one end of a long hanging bridge down to the man-made beach. At first, I was scared but when the operator released me, it was just a smooth, blissful ride. I would like to try it again should I see myself in Sunway again in the  future.

Then we went to the other part of the park where the thrill rides are located. On our way to to that part of the park, we saw some performers. Though they seemed to be late for their performance, we still tried to take some pictures with them. The girls? They look so good. Not. Haha. Just kidding. Haha.

Manny and AB asked me to try “The Lost City of Gold.” And as expected, I gave in to the pressure. It’s just another roller coaster with two consecutive steep down turns. The funny part is that I wasn’t wearing any shirt when I rode this roller coaster. I had no time to get a shirt because getting one from the locker would take some time. So, even though it is weird to ride a roller coaster half-naked, I didn’t care at all. Haha.

We wrapped up the Sunway getaway with a dinner at Tony Roma’s.
