I’m schizophrenic….

September 8, 2012 • 14 Comments

nabanggit ko nga, malapit nang mag-close down ang Multiply. hindi ko naman maharap na harbatin lahat ng laman ng blog ko sa isang upuan lang so inuunti-unti ko. i found something, tipong panlaglag lang ng sarili. ganito ako ka-adik.

take note: i made this entry at a time when i was still teaching and held a full-time admin position (as CorpComm and Cultural Affairs head) in the local school.

 

 

jette: psst! edith! putsa naman, office hours, MS pa din? pasingit naman!

 

edith: ‘wag ka magulo dyan, kelangan ko tapusin to

 

jette: e paano yung storyline na gagawin ko? gusto ko na ‘yun i-present kay kuya noh, para masimulan na ni joji yung script. tapos gagawa pa ako ng posterette para dun sa july activity ng school. may plaque pa ako na idedesign. pati yung bagong news article sa website, isusulat ko pa noh! and not to mention, may klase ako in (sumilip muna sa relo) an hour.

 

edith: arte mo! e kaya mo namang dalhin sa pambobola yung mga studyante mo noh! tsaka ano ba naman ang idi-discuss niyo today? diba sabi mo contents of a marketing plan? o! panis na yun sa yo! anim na taon kang gumagawa ng ganun, kahit tulog ka kaya mo magturo ng ganun noh…

 

jette: ikaw bruhita ka masyado ka mangatwiran. buti na lang nagawa ko na yung exam ng mga bagets sa high school.

 

edith: eto na lang ha… kapag ba hindi ako nagtrabaho, may pagkukuhaan ka ng extra money na hindi mo hihingin sa magulang mo?

 

jette: (speechless)

 

edith: kapag ba hindi ako nagsulat, matutupad ang mga pangarap mo magkaroon ng more than twenty titles until the end of the year? remember, kailangan mo ng ipon para makapag-dive!

 

jette: (speechless pa din, naka-irap)

 

edith: pwes, wag ka na makulit diyan. last chapter na ito. bukas pwede ka na magseryoso sa paggamit ng laptop ko.

 

jette: aba’t talaga naman… hoy, laptop ko ‘yan, bigay ng mommy at daddy ko ‘yan noh!

 

edith: whatever

 

 

what can I say? schizo nga…

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Calinda met Ramirez when she was 20 and he was 22. She was the rising star of women's skating, and he was the superstar forward of men's hockey. Her parents and coach were against their relationship, and because Calinda wanted to prove that no hot guy would ever distract her from her dream, she chose skating over him — and also avoided him all together.

Ten years later, they meet again as gold medalists and prominent sports advocates, still single and undeniably attracted to each other. It's still not a good time for them, because Ramirez is retiring from hockey and moving back to the United States. Calinda doesn't do relationships, really, and proposes they use his final three weeks in Manila to explore what might have been, and do all the things they wish they'd done (there's a list!). Then he can leave for good, and they can both move on with their lives without this one regret.
