STARS UP IN TAGAYTAY
The Damage Report - Year 2 - Ending Week #22
Background Music: "Tourniquet" by Evanesence
NOTE: This is a weekly blog entry that summarizes a series of events of a finished week in and around La Salle.
WHAT was supposed to be a great week of catching up on things turned out, once again, to be another week of drama and suspended animation.
I'll have the cut this week's report short, I'm out of time.

MONDAY - The Power of Love
I rushed to school in the morning and was barely late for World Litt. Laws of Mass Media was another three hours of suspense with Dr. R.S terrorizing the class with regulations and jokes.

TUESDAY - Stars up in Tagaytay
In REED104 we recalled what we did during the Recollection, which was about the risk of loving. After class I approached Badge, and I thought it would be the perfect time to talk to her. She told me she had to go home early since she would be home late, and then she was out of the classroom in no time.
I was with Eric and Leah in the evening and I managed to talk to Wilda about what had happened. Wilda explained some things to me, certain complications that I cannot ignore. When Wilda spoke to me, I wanted to talk to Badge even more to clarify things.
Tuesday night was crazy when the whole tropa at the dorms met at Cyberkada and broke the rules. Well, technically we broke the rules... but for us... it was a night out to party.
In all honesty, I wouldn't have gone if Basil & Gail wearn't going. I mean, a night out with the guys would murder me with their overly chavanistic ways. And by default, it wouldn't really be a tropa outing if Abbie wasn't there. So basically, Basil & Gail (and Abbie) where there to keep me sane just in case I'd have another emotional outburst due to irritation.
Abbie and I surfed at this strange internet cafe next to Cyberkada... you can read the two posts previous to the last one I wrote here. Afterwards we were taken to Tagaytay to eat at Dencio's Bar and Grill.
Sorry, I failed to bring my digital camera on this trip. Sayang!
We had Margaritas there and this is where Abbie got drunk after having four. I had only two. It tasted sweet. We went to these kubos down the road overlooking Lake Taal at night (we couldn't see anything but lights down there and from the distant towns and cities of Batangas).
Up in the sky were so many stars... it felt like we were really high up there.
I for one, felt alone and cold. Wishing I was next to her. She lived near there...
Karl and them wasted beer. I didn't even drink any. I fell asleep in the van and later felt like suffocating on the way back to La Salle. We stopped by Hubsite first on Wednesday morning.

WEDNESDAY - Studio Picture in Robinsons Imus
We surfed and I made the previous post there. We returned to La Salle and I fell asleep after kicking out this stranger from my bed (Aaron, Jan Arian's classmate).
It was a Holiday. I woke up around 1pm to catch my roommate Kyle watching "The Eye", and then Niel entered to watch "Reign of Fire". I got ready and decided to txt everyone and invite them to Robinsons Imus.
Eventually Lance, Andrew, and my classmate Leah would be going.
We went to the mall and did the rounds. Did shopping but bought only bedroom slippers for Ate Angge. We ate at Burger King and waited for Eric, but he didn't come because he didn't know. Eric's electric fan blew up by the way... woah.
We went home and reached the campus just in time.
