roses are #FF0000, violets are #0000FF

-patlang - by me -

I reach to the reality of thought
But grab nothing.

I wish to look through a window of verse
Yet see nothing.

Searching frantically through mindful air
Upon finding brilliant silence,
Flinging the pen,
closing the book,
rising from the chair,


I finally find
meaning.

anyway, i hope you had a happy valentine's. mine was rather mediocre :P okay, it was dull. but you should go ask fozzy, hers was amazing :P i have yet to learn about other people's valentine's, for they must be stories of great interest.

overheard.

pauline (during a test): "sir, nasa'n sa periodic table ang CN*?"

(* - CN is cyanide, with a superscript of -1. it's a compound of carbon and nitrogen, two different elements which could be found on the table itself.)

pauline (again): "sir, ano ulit ang symbol ng carbon?"
sir lasap: "hay nako pauline, naka-ilang problems na tayo na may carbon. ang symbol n'yan ay CN! *sarcasm*"

someone in the back: "sir, ang hirap ng quiz!"
sir: "mahirap ba? bakit si ping naka 17/20? bakit si pepi naka 20/20?"
me *to anna*: "wag kang hihirit!"

me *to rod*: "shit!" (points at sir tom, and runs. rodney follows)
- after five to ten seconds...
yaps: "teka! hintayin n'yo ko!" (also running)

ryan: "last night was a sad night. so many bombings."
leiron: "onga. yung five-year-old natamaan ng shrapnel."
me *staring blankly*: "kawawa naman yung bata, naka-5 damage."

*yaps doing the chicken dance*
me to leiron: "yaps is a cock."

me: "sis, kung magpakalbo ako, papatayin mo ba ko?"
vicky: "oo."
*no explanation necessary*

yaps: "cake! cake! cake!"
vicky: "yaps, you'll get cake later."
yaps: "cake! cake! cake!"
me: *holding back yaps* "yaps mamaya na!"

yaps: "i want the 'happy' part."
me: "i'm getting the 'day' part. wait, asan na yung mga maliliit na flowers na masarap kainin?"
yaps: "onga, asan na yung mga maliliit na flowers na masarap kainin? wala tayong toothpick!"

anyway, that's it. valentine's 2005 was a bore for me, because i have no valentine = because no one crushes on me. thank you sis, for your card. ipasign mo yung cd kay tito mark abaya (inside joke) sa sunday. may appearance sila sa tower records eh. :P

*paying for the kjwan cd*
cashier: "ipasign mo 'to. darating sila dito."
me *taken by surprise*: "oh? kailan?"
cashier: "*to fellow cashier* kailan nga ba darating ang kjwan dito? sa 20."
me: "ah sige." (makes mental note to tell vicky)

oh the irony, considering that the cd isn't for me anyway :P
