week 4: to hell and back

Ok, THIS is the most depressing week in NZ.  but i will not provide any details.  i just want to put it behind me and move on.  i can't afford to lose my focus.   so sorry guys, but no specific updates this week.  hopefully it will get better.  prayers are most welcome.  thanks to my best friends who have kept me sane all this time.  mga bayani kayo, promise. right now i am drowning myself in 90s to early 2000s music.  i missed this.   i don't mean to be so cryptic.  hahaha.  but things are looking up.  sana magtuloy-tuloy na.  

heto na....heto na....heto na....WAAAAAAAAH

yes my dear readers, i know that i am overdue.  but that is life and sadly there were some hiccups lately and i needed a mental health break.  but here i am now ready to provide a blow by blow account of what has been happening in the city of sails (yeah that's what they call Auckland). i have debated with myself whether i should combine weeks 2 and 3 in one entry.  unfortunately, i don't think it will fit.  there's just too much to talk about and i don't want to cramp all that information in one long post. so here goes....enjoy! comments!

week 3: independence ba kamo?

this is by far the most interesting week, though in a way, the most depressing one as well.  but where to start?  hmm.  well, i finally found the courage to actually walk-in and ask for a part-time job.  and knowing what a geek i am, where do i do that exactly?  at the city library of course.  haha.  how fucking crazy is that?  anyway, i wanted to go to that art film thing and since it's just next to the library, it was a 2 birds and 1 stone scenario. the library people just basically told me to fuck off which wasn't cool haha.  so i went to the cinema hoping it gets better.  when i got there, there was no one around.  i walked around a bit.  went back and the place was still deserted.  then i saw a doorbell thing and it says "academy cinema" or something to that effect.  so i rang it.  some rude guy picked up and basically told me to wait until 6pm and to fuck off.  what the hell is up with the universe? anyway, long story short, rude guy showed up. sold me

week 2: meh.

Professional Skills Development started this week.  i really do not have the energy to explain what this is but its a program that is compulsory but not graded.  go figure. most of my classmates are from india.  there are some "smellies" but i can't seem to point out exactly who.  ugh.  it's very frustrating.   school is a complete waste of time.  during one of the sessions, the professor or whatever spent about 30minutes explaining the importance of remembering names.  paulit ulit paulit ulit paulit ulit.  its crazy. though, i must admit, i really don't mind the whole lecture thing as long as i get to sit in my chair and space out.  so you can just imagine my frustration every time i hear the teacher say,  "let's count off by 5" "let's group ourselves into 6" pootangina lang talaga, and one time, may nagpapaimportante sa class.  inaantok raw sya.  pwde raw ba mag group work na lang.  yung teacher naman puma
