coffee and san lazaro

it's nearing 5am and i still haven't slept a wink. got a feeling i'm going to be really moody tomorrow. but nothing a cup of coffee won't fix.. i think. i might need another starbucks bottle (the one that can be bought at department stores). it's actually more effective than the coffee at cafe mezzanine (somewhere in manila).

i had two cups of coffee at cafe mezzanine a few days ago. had a photo shoot for an mma friend of mine so had to put on make-up. that made my eyes kinda droopy. then when filip came around, i was half asleep. but got re-energized when shirley assigned me to be their SL stage manager on-the-spot. hahahaha :)

anyway, starbucks bottle works better for me now. so might have another bottle tom. hahaha :) no coffee = braindead. seriously. my friends bear witness. hahaha :)

it's a sunday. well, it was sunday yesterday. and we had class. woop-de-doo. cheer cheer. hurrah hurrah. it was totally depressing. sunday?! school?! WHY?! but had a final presentation for sir morfe's class so it wasn't a waste going to school. sir seemed to have liked our presentation. that's good enough for me :) hehehe :) still have to set up the exhibit for his subject on wednesday.. when will this school term end?!?!?!

since it rained real hard during our thesis date, none of our panelists were able to attend. so we have to give them vcd/dvd copies, which are due tomorrow. problem is i don't have a dvd burner, so went to SM San Lazaro a while ago to look for computer shops. unfortunately, the guard i asked said that netopia had already "pulled out" but there were around 2 computer shops that dealt with dvd burning. i rushed to the first one and everything was okay. except for the fact that their pc lacked space to store the temporary files of the video to be burned. or something like that.

i went to the second store. the guy asked me to buy a blank dvd since they didn't provide the blank cds. so, i lined up at cd-r-king and it took me eons before i reached the counter. but i bought the dvds and went back to the store. had to wait for the person in front of me to finish. finally, it was my turn! the kuya, however, wanted to burn the video as dvd data file. i insisted that i wanted the disc to play at dvd players. to cut the long story short, i kinda argued with him then after quite a while decided to just take the blank dvd and leave.

so i have no dvd copy and a very grainy vcd copy. oh well.

the good thing that happened at sm san lazaro, though, was that i saw a familiar face. seriously. i don't know his name or where i met him or seen him. but it was just familiarity.

i was on my way down while he was on his way up. when i saw him, i thought he looked familiar. he looked at me too and guess the same thought was running in his head. finally, he just smiled at me and made a little wave. i did the same. it was just a few seconds but the feeling was nice. what i mean is that it's nice to be familiar wiht someone, even if you don't know the name or whatsoever. :) hehehe :)

that kinda brightened up my sour graping mood a while ago. :)
