some kind of a lengthy post about DC (and who the heck knows when the next one is coming...)

There hasn't really been much story about my experiences in DC. At least none that I have blogged about. Of course, I've already had some fun (and HORRIBLE) experiences. I wouldn't mind going into the fun ones but just not the horrible. Anyway, pretty much a lot of the people who could be reading this already know the HORRIBLE experiences. (Long Island still tastes good, though.) Actually, because the horrible experiences were HORRIBLE, they're pretty much what I can remember. Wait, I can now remember the fun ones and... I'd actually rather not get into them.

So yes, no kwento at all except the previous post, which also only my Filipino friends could understand.

Actually, I'm once again lazy to type even if I want to blog. Sooner or later, I'll be having a longer post. So far, the only thing I could easily say is that, while I'm here, I'd want to be able to do a couple of things:

1. Watch a play or a musical and
2. Watch a football game in RFK Stadium. (But damn it, I can't get tickets for the DC United game against CD Olimpia, a Honduran team, about 2 weeks from now. Well, duh, I should've gotten tickets much, much earlier.)

Now it seems my long post is coming.

Food talk: I have been craving for some good Chinese food. The only one I've been to is the one right around the corner of the apartment. And it wasn't good. It was quite expensive... and it wasn't good. Our professor recommended one in Chinatown and I think I will visit that this Friday, my day off. (No work. =( ) Please, some good fooood. I was able to try a seafood resto also in Chinatown when I went there couple of weeks ago. The food wasn't bad but it was a sandwich. And for cryin' out loud, I've been having sandwiches. RICE! That's the Filipino staple food. RICE! Add to that the fact that for like 2 days now, I've been eating chicken. I had chicken tenders for lunch last Thursday, chicken tenders again from Popeye's last Friday, a chicken something sandwich from Cosi yesterday, chicken nuggets last night for midnight snack while I was being a nerd, and chicken cheese steak sandwich today. My life is starting to revolve around chicken. I am surviving through chicken! It's a good thing there's no such thing as a chicken alcohol, demmit! Also, I am still trying to look for a GOOD seafood restaurant. If I remember it right, there's also one in Chinatown. If I find both restos there, God bless Chinatown. Heck, I. MISS. GOOD. FOOD. (of course, so far, this has been the longest part of my post, the food part. What did you expect?)

Vanity talk: I love the long overcoat, which I got last Friday for 160. It was on sale from 400. That's 60 off baby. And it's Claiborne. Albert gave me a dilemma though. On the left sleeve, near the wrist, there are 2 tags sewn. One for the brand and one that says "fabric woven in Italy." Yeah, yeah. I didn't wanna remove them and when he saw it, he was like, you are supposed to remove them. Er, am I? It might sound stupid for all but... it didn't look bad for me. Or wasn't I just paying attention that it looked stupid? My uncle's sending me more clothes. Good one. At least I can cut down on my spending. I have been spending a lot. (It's an injustice alcohol costs a lot in the US). And it's not gonna help that I have my Fridays off.

Speaking of Fridays, I actually don't know how I will be spending my Fridays. Do school work would be fine. And wake up late. (Reverse order). Perhaps that could work out. OR. Explore DC. That couldn't be bad, could it? Although at the moment, only the Holocaust Museum and the Natural Museum are the only ones I want to see.

Crap, I still haven't gotten a camera! When will I ever get one! I was advised to buy from the net but it's scary. I was told about the safe ones but... I still kinda don't trust them. Well, I better get one REALLY soon.

And my eyes are starting to close. Last night was perhaps my unwanted first step towards the stressful sem ahead of me. I went to bed at 530 (yes, AM!) and woke up at 730AM(!). 2 hours baby. And I didn't even have an exam today. An omen of what's to come? I seriously, seriously hope not. Or I'm shite dead.

Some random thoughts:
1. I must start reading the papers soon.
2. There are really great guys in the group.
3. The speaker for our class tonight was good. He was the editor of the Almanac of American Politics and he sorta made me a tad more interested in politics. Only God knows when (or IF) I'll ever get engaged in a political conversation of the people around me.
4. While I was having lunch at the caf at work, all of a sudden I thought I was having issues again about all sorts of stuff. Not very serious shite, though.
5. My eyes are really closing now. Must go to bed friggin soon.

I'm off. Work's in less than 9 hours' time. Ilkin was probably right when he said people's comments about work are extremes because apparently, mine's an extreme, too. And it rarely happens.
