Come What "May"

May 2012 has officially ended two days ago but it took me that long to sort out whether or not I should write a blog post about it.

As you have noticed (or not), my internet activity has significantly increased in this month more than any other months of the year. This could be justified by an increment in the number of blog entries, tweets, status updates, videos watched and favorited, and reblogs. I need not name the websites associated with the terms I used, do I? Also to add more of that "increase in activity", I have been able to avail those unlimited calls and texts offers my cellular network provides me. Though they cost a little too much for my daily summer allowance, there is a reason why, for the first time in the whole history of me having a cellphone, I've purchased Unlicall + text 25.

I didn't quite expect my month to turn out this way though; I thought it was just another Summer month. But it wasn't. And I'll tell you why.

Well it all started on the first day, May 1. I don't really think I should delve deeper as to what happened this day, but to just give you all nosy people a hint, I welcomed someone in my life. And that's when things started to go topsy-turvy -- too much for a month to handle.

Just a reference, I had summer classes from mid-April to mid-May. The last two weeks of it were all centered on that someone I've met. Well, this isn't a private blog and I think it'd be inappropriate to spill the details but we communicated in all forms of communication, apart from the most convenient one, talking face to face. I guess you get the sitch. (Insert Call Me Maybe tune here).

Long story short, I thought what we had was real (eww gross!) and I imagined all the possibilities that we could have been but it turns out he was a total jerk and I was better off without him. I realized a lot of things, but some in a painful way.

I have come to the conclusion that you should not settle for anything less than what you deserve. If you think you deserve to be respected, then don't settle for someone who doesn't give you that.

To quote my favorite movie, (500) Days of Summer, "the best way to get over a guy is to turn him into literature". Considering the fact that what we had was just a meager summer fling, I would just turn him into a blog entry. El oh el.

Meanwhile, on the other side of my life, my immune system has been battling recurrent otitis media brought about by sore throat and colds. I get bouts of fever every once in a while but they're not that high. Being a nursing student can be hard sometimes; you can get paranoid on almost anything that's going wrong in your systems. There was one night when my ears ached so hard my head ached too (I couldn't tell which is worse), I was thinking that my 8th cranial nerve was already infected by the bacteria, then I was starting to feel dizzy and I was too scared to sleep and so I just cried and cried until my nose went all congested I had to change position..next thing I knew it was already morning. Kuh-razy!

I decided to put Come What "May" as a title because it ends the month on a positive note. Deep inside, way past the bitterness of my heart and saltiness of my phlegm (ew!), I am optimistic that things will turn out for the better.

Hot Summer Nights

I know my title could give you queer thoughts, but the adjective there pertains to the weather on a summer night, particularly this one I am experiencing right now.

Usually in the place where I'm at, the average day temperature for April-May would be 32 degrees Celsius. At night it would drop to a considerable 22 degrees C, the usual day temperature for the -ber months.

I am not talking about the weather just because there are no more things to talk about, but because the weather now is actually worth a blog entry. Err, I don't make proper sense, do I?

At night when I am waiting for me to fly off to dreamland, I would gaze up at the window screen. My bed is situated close to the wall where my window is, you see. I especially positioned it that way not only to have all the cool night breeze I want, but to gaze at the stars of the night sky and trying to find where Orion is as well, although it is almost always detectable. Othertimes I make up my own constellations, like how these bunch of stars could connect and make up what seems to be a Daisy for me. It is a great view, and I always thank God for me to experience little wonders like that. I just wished my part of the night sky isn't polluted by Light from the city just a mile or two away though.

But the night tonight is different. I expected to see my constellations, but all I saw where gray clouds. I could see patches of the dark-blue sky, but it is small enough to be appreciated. Also, the temperature was warmer than the previous cloudless nights.

Was it going to rain? I hope so. It's a good compromise from a starless-night.

I have been currently reading two books at the moment:

1.) A .pdf copy of David Levithan and Rachel Cohn's Dash and Lily's Book of Dares. I'm not yet halfway and from what I can see, it is a good book. I'm sure teenagers of 13-16 would love to read it. But I am way past beyond that age range. If only I could've read this earlier, I would have appreciated it more.

2.) The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkein. It is a prelude to The Lord of The Rings epic trilogy. My bestfriend, Franz (Sis) lent me the book which was originally owned by her sister, Ate Georgia. I'm already about 9 chapters more till the end and all I can say is that it is truly a work of art. First time to read Tolkein's and it has delighted me.The only thing I regret though is that I wish I read the Trilogy first, as there have been side-notes and if-you-remember's in some parts of the story. I'm eager to finish the book and start reading The Fellowship of the Ring after. :D
