Summer?

It was around 5 degrees this morning when I woke up. Wasn't it supposed to be summer already? I want to rant but I'm just too tired. I need sleep. This week is hard for me. It's contract renewal time and we're supposed to receive our next contract in the next two weeks. It's been a week and I haven't received mine yet. Shite! My debts are sky high and I don't know how I'll be able to pay it if I don't have a job. I was going to ask for more money on my next contract but this videogame movie was shelved so I think I'm in no position to negotiate. I am so underpaid, guys doing the same things as me earn 3x more than me. I am soo out of here after this sci-fi movie project. Unless of course they give me more money.

University of the Philippines Campus (Diliman)

Cool aerial view of UP Diliman. The campus was so big, I remember running to my next class which was in another building around 4 blocks away. Looking back, I wonder how I coped. I didn't own a car and had no money for the bus (or the 'Ikot' jeep). How the hell did I even make it through enrollment?! There was a time when I had 3 hour gaps between classes. I'd start my day with Spanish 20 at 7am and finish it with English 3 at 8:30pm. In between that, I'd be at the UP Rifle Pistol Team 'tambayan' or at SM City, the birthplace of filipino mall culture!

And this song from the Eraserheads sums it all

minsan sa may kalayaan tayo'y nagkatagpuan
may mga sariling gimik at kaya-kanyang hangad sa buhay
sa ilalim ng iisang bubong
mga sekretong ibinubulong
kahit na anong mangyari
kahit na saan ka man patungo
chorus
ngunit ngayon kay bilis maglaho ng kahapon
sana'y huwag kalimutan ang ating mga pinagsamahan
at kung sakaling gipitin ay laging iisipin
na minsan tayo ay naging
tunay na magkaibigan
minsan ay parang wala nang bukas sa buhay natin
inuman sa magdamag na para bang tayo'y mauubusan
sa ilalim ng bilog na buwan
mga tiyan nati'y walang laman
ngunit kahit na walang pera
ang bawat gabi'y anong saya
repeat chorus
minsan ay hindi ko na alam ang nangyayari
kahit na anong gawin
lahat ng bagay ay merong hangganan
dahil ngayon tayo ay nilimot ng kahapon
di na mapipilitang buhayin ang ating pinagsamahan
ngunit kung sakaling mapadaan baka
ikaw ay aking tawagan
dahil minsan tayo ay naging
tunay na magkaibigan
