bumlandia revisited
3:30 pm, havn’t had lunch yet, still a little cotton-mouthed from last night, and just spent the last 4 hours watching "undeclared" from my brother’s stash of obscure-sit-coms-of-the-past, while guzzling down yesterday’s leftover bottle of (lukewarm)coke. Isn’t sembreak the life?!?!
"Undeclared" came highly recommended by a friend of mine. It was only out for a season, then got cancelled - my friend says it was just bad timing, 911 was still fresh when it went out, so i guess that totally ate up their ratings. Sayang.
Basically, it’s about a group of friends in their freshman year in college, and their life as dormers… WATAFUCKINCOOLCONCEPT!!!! The reason my friend was so excited was because he was a dormer too (3 years ahead), he said i’d totally get it. And i did!!! From the first day - meeting your dormates, up to them breaking up with the girfriends they left at home, to setting up ‘casual’ ‘tambay sessions’ with the hotties from the girl’s dorm without trying to make it look too obvious. DAM! Pasok! Anyway, it was definitelly worth 4 hours of my life. You all should watch it.
What they DID miss out on though was the nightly battle of wills during dinner time. Believe me, there’s nothing harder than to get 8 lazy, enboxered dormers out of bed to put some clothes on for the trek through campus to get to the restaurants in katipunan. Usually, the hungriest ends up literally dragging the rest out of bed, or handing them their towels and bath ‘buckets’ to jumpstart them into activity. Why don’t they just eat on their own you ask? Well, that’d just be bad dorm etiquette. The simpler reason though, it’s just more fun that way! Sigh, good times, good times. Ehem, scuze me, um, think i got something in my eye…
Okay, enough remeniscing, i havta get something productive done…yah, i think lunch is sounding good right about now…(the funk soul brotha, check it out now)

Here’s to afternoon “lunches” and sitcom marathons (it’s still Desperate Housewives for me… at least hindi na The OC hehe). If only sembreak could last forever…

al, you’re the man.
I just read your blogs from since i posted that comment on your first one. Good stuff, made me laugh. I admire the creative ideas and the cool anology of people like chess pieces. I’m going to totally steal that in the next movie i direct staring Natalie Portman. I like the idea of the procrastinators saving the world. LOL.
Keep it up, i love the observations. If lawyering gets boring 10 years from now, call me and you can help me write my screenplay.
holllllla!
