what have i been doing this summer?

it's midway through my vacation already, so it's time to list down the things that have kept myself busy these past few weeks:

1. making visual basic programs/games. yes, it's geeky, having taken the subject in 4th year high school, but i really can't let that wonderful skill rust. it's a useful tool in most of the career choices i have in mind, and besides, it helps expand my knowledge of things.

2. internet surfing. hee. for the blog, of course. as i've said before, it pains me to think that my blog is just stagnating in cyberspace. it needs my constant care; hence, it needs to be updated on a regular basis. you might have noticed that i never let 2 days pass without updating my blog. to go beyond 2 days would be a fatal sin.

3. calculating stuff on excel. i calculate just about anything in excel. i love ranking things and making criteria for them. it excites me to see the ranks go up and down at different times. (this is the reason why i positively enjoy music hit lists, such as mtv's asia hitlist and myx's daily top ten.)

4. playing games on pc and on family computer. i'm currently playing abe's odyssey on the pc and lode runner on the nintendo family computer. no, we don't have playstation or snes or sega. we're kinda stuck in the mario era.

5. eating, sleeping, and watching tv. the bare necessities.

the five things listed here seem to suggest that i don't go out much. well, it's true, i don't go out much (unless the destination's the internet cafe, of course). i have only been out once since i arrived here. i don't know... maybe it just tires me to roam around the city, especially when you have no one around to accompany you. most of my davao friends are taking summer classes or out of the country. when they do come home, though, perhaps i'll move my lazy ass away from the computer screen and start exploring the world outside my home.

perhaps.
