A Day in Jipre's Life

A Day in Jipre's Life

I had to revise my earlier draft, because from a glorified bum with all the time in the world, I instantly became a school boy again.

I am back to school and the first two weeks were dreadful, meaning I didn’t get enough sleep because my body clock always says to sleep around 4AM. In other words, may jet lag pa sa pagiging tamad. NYAHAHA.

Anyway, this is new my daily schedule:

TTH
10.30AM – gising, ligo, kain, prepare to go to school, net for 15min.
11.45AM – 12.55PM – byahe from bahay to school. mga 44km binabyahe ko araw-araw. papunta lang yan, based on my calculations sa pamasahe. more than 1 hour ang byahe kaya nagbabasa ako ng reading materials. iniisip ko nalang na sa Cebu yung klase ko.
1PM – 2.30PM – STS. Wala pa si Doc Rasco kaya movie viewing for 2 weeks. puro documentaries about evolutions, human mind, change in the body structure, biotechnology, blah blah blah
2.30PM – 4PM – tambay kung saan. kakalungkot kasi wala na yung mga ka-batch ko. Either graduate na sila at may trabaho, or nagtuturo na ng majors ng course nila. Marami-rami din kaming super seniors ngayon kaya lang kakaunti lang yung kakilala ko. kaya kumakaibigan ng mga lower years. HEHEHEHE. rawr.
4PM – 5.30PM – Biodiversity with Sir Ting, marine biologist kaya puro isda at algae lang ang kilala
5.30PM – 7PM – tambay muna sa boarding house ng kaibigang lower years. makikitulog ng ilang oras, yosi, makikinig kung anong meron sa iPod, magsasayaw, kakanta, at kung may pera, ALAK!!!
7PM – 8.30PM – byahe pauwi. masgusto ko umuwi na malayo na sa rush hour. wala masyadong alikabok, wala nang mga taong tumatakbo at hindi na mainit ang ulo ng mga driver.
8.30PM – 12PM – kain, net, laro ng games, basa ng reading o comics, nood ng DVD, anime, etc.
12PM – 1PM – pipiliting matulog. gawa ng assignments, paper. Tulog.

WF
7.30AM – wakes up, morning rituals, don’t have time for net.
8.45AM – 9.55AM – byahe.
10AM – 1PM – Management 101 with Ma’am Elson/Ellson/Elison, not too sure with the name pero I says she’s a consultant to almost every company, had a degree in Theater Arts, then Master’s in Management, was a teacher of the owner of Jollibee, met Bill Gates, owns losing stocks in the PSE, ewan ewan ewan. After that, Philo 1 with Sir Pavo. Bata pa, mahiyain, was a cum laude in Brussels, and now writes a book on Medieval philosophy, kaya halos wala kaming klase.
1PM – 2.30PM – tambay ulit.
2.30PM – 4PM – AH7 - Significant Themes in Lit & Films. Masaya, parang Hum1 lang, pero more focused on themes, archetypes, etc.

The time from Friday afternoon to Monday evening is considered my weekend. So anything happens and can happen during this time. Either nasa bahay lang ako, curled up with pillows and sleeping, or I am out and about Davao City. I may go to a beach trip, fly kites, swim, make love, go to a friend’s house, play video games, watch movies, eat pancit canton, mix drinks, go out in bars, roam the night streets, slip into dark alleyways.

But mostly between those hours, I don’t know what I was really doing or thinking. Something may have happened, or should have never happened, but I forget. Maybe I was wrong in saying that "these insignificances contribute to our dreams, desires and desperations". Maybe they are just insignificant, for the mere passing of time. It is so much better be protected in this bubble, and risk boredom, than to risk the randomness out there. I would have preferred not to go out and back to school. I would rather stay here in our home, doing nothing, waiting for whatever force to move me.

But I need to move, go with the flow, even if it just in circles. This monotony, these daily plans, keeps me together in a cycle and in whole, because I know it’s a chaos out there. And I know, it's better than being static.

I'm not making sense, am I? NYAHAHA.
Happy June, guys.
