Joebreaker is the blog of a 20-yr old Pinoy student whose major failure is trying to balance his acad life with his social life. He's been learning shear forces and hydraulic equations while spending time with his buddies over bottles of beer or just killing each other off in a friendly game of DotA/Warcraft III - which explains why his allowance is usually gone by the middle of the week.
A couple of months back I told myself I must quit blogging and try to spend minimal time on the internet because this so-called online life is starting to get into my system - not good for a student in his last semester in school. If you’re a guy who has no idea of time management at all, who doesn’t care about being late and who procrastinates a lot, then we’re on the same boat. I just got slapped into reality when I realized that I traded hours of playing DotA, fixing templates and chatting for exam scores lower than my age and absences that could get me a grade of 5.
Some of the things that happened while I was AFK:
1. Went to school wearing pambahay (t-shirt, beach shorts, chinelas), and yes, without taking a shower. It’s no use telling anyone that I took a bath the afternoon before or the reason was I crammed a take-home exam at a friend’s house and I only had a couple of minutes before the deadline because the fact that I roamed the college with that look is… out-of-hand.
Classmate (looking very amazed): Oi joe! San ka galing?!
Me: …punta kong CR… Maghihilamos.
2. Underwent some transformation. Thanks, Regine’s Salon for the free makeover (this is long overdue, but better late than never!). “Look at that hair– it’s all over the place!” I was told. So there, it became a bit more– funky. I can’t say I loved it, though. I liked it, but not too much. It did make me look badass at school, but that’s not a really good thing.
After some time I went to the barber to have my hair trimmed. He told me he’s giving me the “gupit-artista”. Good man. As to which celebrity… well? Hehe. I just notice that I get a lot of weird hairstyle names lately. Before this “gupit-artista” there was also a “beautiful boy haircut”. I wonder what’s next.
3. Field trip.
I got to see how the water we use (or drink, for some) is ‘recycled’ in the wastewater treatment plants. It’s nastier than how it looks because of the smell. But I do like seeing sewage getting treated. It amazes me. Yeah, I’m dirty like that. But seriously, we should all do our part in conserving water.
Those are some of the things that happened to me for the past months. Right now I’m still unsure if I’ll march and get my diploma this April or wait and try again next semester. Too bad. But I have a lot of time to worry about that. My sem’s officially ended and now it’s time to have fun! So yeah, I’m back. Anybody care to greet me “WB” the IRC style? Hehe.
Peace!
