Things I Think I Think:

1. Going back to school was a blast although I was clueless most of the time. It's fun being a student again. Being part of a class, taking notes, taking part in group work, making assignments, photocopying, etc. are a welcome change from selling to Americans everyday.
2. On a related matter, what the hell are phonemes, logograms, ideograms, adverbs, rebus writing? I didn't know the English language was that complicated. Sigh.
3. Wow! Last time I looked (which was Friday), gas prices were 51 pesos per liter. When we had our tank filled last Sunday, it was already 53 pesos. Somebody's going to pay for this. As is always the case, it's us who's doing the paying. Damn.
4. On the Meralco squabble: Get this done & over with. We don't care who controls the God-forsaken utility. What we care about is lower electricity rates. Are there any honest businessmen in the world anymore?
5. What's with ants suddenly being active & aggresive? I'm in this annual battle with these insects over territory. I wouldn't have a problem with them if they just kept out of our house & went about their ant business elsewhere. But they won't. And so this means war. I'm about to unleash armageddon or it's equivalent to them in the form of my weapon of mass destruction: Baygon's chalk. Prepare to get annihilated ants! Bwahahaha! (Wow, this must be what Bush felt when he invaded Iraq.)
6. NBA Finals. East vs West. Lakers vs Celtics. Kobe vs The Big Three (Garnett, Pierce & Allen). Showtime vs Celtic Pride. Phil Jackson vs the ghost of Red Auerbach. LA-LA Land vs New England. The NBA goes Retro. It feels like the 80's again. The NBA needed this. Everybody's getting caught up. I'm getting caught up. Can't wait for the series to get started.
   Fearless Forecast: Lakers in 5 or 6.
7. A thought to feminists (like Gabriela): why don't they give a hoot when women are given undue rights & privileges over men & shout to the high heavens when they don't get equal treatment? Case in point: the MRT & LRT cars exclusively for women. Aren't they supposed to fight for equality? Where's the equality in that? Nothing against feminists. Just a thought.
8. Since I got back to school, I'm finally getting to enjoy writing again. Looks like my love affair with the pen (or in this case, the keyboard) is in full bloom again.
