Finally got a pair

 It’s been almost 20 years since I last had these as pets. They are a bit hard to take care of and are a bit pricey so I had to hold back anytime the desire to buy them hit me. They have pretty nice colors and patterns, and being cichlids, they got personality too. I have my aquarium setup beside my desk any every now and then I find myself being watched and followed by one of them. It was a few days ago when I realized one of my aquariums didn’t have a centerpiece so I finally decided to get a pair. I’ve spent too much in this hobby but I’m sure this last one would be worth it.

Saturday the 14th

Today has less luck than yesterday *** Terrible pretty much sums up my driving. I easily succumb to road rage especially whenever I get cut by a jeepney or a tricycle But today, I had a very humbling if not humiliating experience. Today, for the first time, I get to experience baptism by fire. I hit a motorcycle which I was trying to overtake. If that wasn't bad enough, a girl was driving the motorcycle. I hit her in front of the school. And apparently, she is also a student there. I don't think it's fortunate. -The school guards were there to assist us as I helped her get up. -Injuries were minor and she didn't ask for further help. -She didn't take my number or any offer of my assistance. -Damage to her motorcycle was minimal -The guards took note of our names and student numbers I fear thid would cease to haunt me

Well... that's aside from the occasional CAD drafts which actually worked with or without the tablet. I just recently installed a proper free hand drafting program and this is my latest creation. I was able to watch Silver Linings Playbook just recently and I'm currently obsessing about lead actress J.L. and I've watched the movie for more than 4 times now including the recent Hunger Games movie. I feel like a teenager again! *** And I thought you were my Tiffany. Turns out, you were just another Nikki

'Tis the Season

This welcomed my Christmas Season. Last Thursday, as was required in one of my subjects, we had a fieldwork somewhere in Tarlac. We were supposed to look for a rough, unpaved road, and survey it. We chose this road in the middle of rice fields at Tarlac since it was close enough to what the subject required. Anyway, though last week was a rain riddled week, Thursday had an energetic sun beaming brightly; so for our survey, we had to work under its heat, and over the muddy road. We didn't last long under the heat and when noon approached, we searched for a shade where we can rest and have lunch. We passed by this small  sari-sari store  which had concrete benches and a nice shade. The store stood in front of a rice field and a small, unfinished house. One of my classmates politely asked the tindero if we could stay in front of the store to eat. The guy invitingly directed us to a nipa hut behind the store and said we could use that since it had a table, which was actually a ...
