Life is a twisted, tormented, melancholy string of paradoxical occurrences entwined in oblivious... uhm... pain and suffering... err... pineapples. or something.

Dreams Plucked From the Pit of Insanity

I was like in some sort of climbing battle thing. There were a bunch of people but I think these five guys (japoy, from the Milo commercials and my schoolmate at DPS though he doesn't really know who I am, was included) were assigned to beat me up. I was struggling but suddenly I did some sick spins and fast moves and basically decked each one of 'em (japoy included). Actually, I might have poked their eyes, or at least used the martial arts "claw"-like strike... I can't remember. Anyway, after I found out that I won, I ran around screaming hip hop-like "Yeah y'all! Outta hizzle fo' shizzle dizzle!"

So I won in the quarter-finals of some kind of Tae Kwon Do competition. I was fourth. The guy who won first was another former schoolmate, though a less popular one. He was in a batch younger than me, was the little brother of a former GT and was the significant other of this one girl that I kinda really totally liked. We would meet again, hopefully, in the finals.

I couldn't get over it. I told all my friends how funny it was, because I've never even dreamed of being a Tae Kwon Do practitioner. Now here I was garnering an award from some previously undiscovered talent. I was the new kid on the scene, and dammit, I had won fourth in a major competition on my first go!

But, the finals were still a concern. I had lucked my way to that point, but what about later on when actual fighting was concerned? I asked my third year HS adviser if her bro would be willing to help train me, and she said it wouldn't be a problem.

Then I woke up in a van. I told my friend all about that weird Tae Kwon Do dream, and he told me that really happened. In fact, we were heading right for the competition. A former GS classmate was driving the van, and we hit another van that had La Salle insignia and colors painted all over it...

...and then I woke up. For real this time. Freaky dream.

I must admit, it does have a striking number of parallelisms to real life. I'm too lazy to point them all out though.

Got all my class cards except for PE. I have a 1.6 GWA. I'm a college scholar but I must admit I'm a tad disappointed. I'ma do better next time because I want to shift and because I can dammit!

hiya! been bloghoppin. that was some power-up dream, eh; i always felt good waking up from a beating-someone-up dream. hehe.

ang taas na ng gwa mo. kakabilib. but yeah, it's always a plus to know the extent of your capabilities. roar with determination. (just curious, you're planning on shifting from what course? and to which course?) ;)

Join me in my beloved alma mater! Not only you will be able to beat up famous personalities like Japoy and Joseph Yeo, you also get to see Iya Villania in the flesh! XD

Nah never mind... that's just me >_<

Ahum... 1.6... equivalent to a 3.4 in dlsu...

that's amazing... but for a person like you, i'd expect something like a 1.4+ (3.5, .6,...)

but again, that's just me o.O
