Scenes from my so-called life

1 I looked at the shot glass I held in my right hand and started to think. 2 When I think about it I have achieved a lot because of my drinking (Again, I would like to state that I am not a drunkard. I just like to drink…occasionally). I have managed to do certain things due to intoxication that I would never have done if I were sober. 3 I have managed to acquire my first girlfriend. I have managed to breeze through a Political Science 14 final exam. I have managed to acquire a 1 in my feature writing class. I have managed to gain the respect (okay, maybe fear) of my friends.

All of these I have managed to do because my bloodstream at the time was 1/3 blood and 2/3 alcohol. 4 I took a quick swig of Ginebra. 5 She challenged me to a drinking competition and because my pride was on the line, I accepted.

Do not judge the job and yourself. If this is the job you are doing now, you must see it only as a role, a very temporary role that can change anytime. And sin...

Sana ako nalang si Batman... Para ako na bahala sa lahat at paniguradong pulido ang gawa ko. Ikaw ba naman ang bigyan ng mahiwagang utility belt na naglalaman na yata ng lahat ng solusyon sa lahat ng klase ng problema sa mundo. Sikat pa ako sa chicks. Sana ako si Spider-man... Para may spider-sense ako upang makaiwas ako sa matitinding gulo. Pwede pa akong tumambay sa mga dingding ng mga gusali. Sikat pa ako sa chicks. Sana ako si Shaider... Para pag nagkakainitan na tatawagin ko na si Vavilos at pasasabugin lahat ng maaangas na gustong humassle sa akin. Sikat pa ako sa chicks, lalo na kay Ani. Sana ako si Gokou... Para pag gipit na ako, magsu-super saiyan ako at ikakame hame wave lahat ng gustong yumurak sa mga pangarap ko, at kaya kong iligtas ang mundo.  Sikat pa ako sa mga chikiting. Sana ako si Darna... Para kahit nakikipagrambulan mukhang diyosa at seksi pa din ako. Sikat pa ako sa mga chi-- ay di na pala. Charing. Pero paano ba yan hindi ako superhero, kasi si Red lang ako. ...
