Life on the EDSA Line

The clock ticked. Another minute drained, wasted on waiting for progress.

Horns blasted, a sign of impatience for those stuck in this stagnant state. Sirens blared, a sign of exigence for those caught in a critical shape.

The clock ticked. The long, dull line remained. A shadow through the pane left helpless.

Journal Entry #5

Another day for intrams. It's the day to prove whose gonna get to the finals. Nanood kami ng mga games ng mga kabatchmate at still todo suporta pa rin kami sa pagcheer. A game ended and my friends decided to eat first before we continue on watching the games. Pagkatapos namin kumain, a friend of ours was a chess player and after their meeting for their chess game, she said to us that she's quitting. Sabi niya di naman daw siya magaling and such at baka matalo lang daw siya. Then, sinabi ko sa kanya na kaya mo yan at may tiwala kami sa kanya. I boosted up her confidence so that she stops being anxious about her skill. I said to her na it is your skill so you must embrace it and be proud of it. I even tried to joke her and said na sasampalin ko siya baka di siya umayos. But I said to her that she should clear her mind first before she think about of quitting. And sabi niya na she'll think about it. So I was hoping she'll stop thinking of quitting her competition because we trust her and we know she can do it.

Hey.. I’m getting pretty good at this. I usually don’t stick to journals or anything like that, so 5 in a row is damn good coming from me haha XD

So today just felt kind of off. For one, I didn’t get a full nights rest because maintenance was here installing new windows. Sooo loud! I just felt weird all day. Rob, a good friend and my roommate, started acting distant, I got into it with a coworker of mine, Sindelar, through text. And John, the guy I was seeing for a bit was acting weird. I didn’t hear from Philip all day. My sister was super moody. I don’t know... I guess this is just how my life is now. Dealing with piss poor attitudes from everyone. This needs to change, and quick. My body just feels tired from all this bad energy from people. I like happy, positive attitudes, and none of that fake shit! I need to be around truly happy individuals. So I can be happy too.

Nakakatawa. Mas alam pa ng mga kaibigan ko ang nararamdaman ko para sakanya. Alam ko hindi pa ako nahuhulog sakanya. Pero hindi yun ang sinasabi nila, nahulog na ako. Ayokong maniwala, dahil iba ang nararamdaman ko. Bakit ganun?
