today

the grade school kids had their 2 exhibition debates this morning, and i thought that it turned out pretty well. it's nice to see other kids who were once quite shy and quite monotonous sounding to come out of their shell. the teachers and parents thought that they did pretty well today. well, wait for monday i boldly said. they're gonna kick ass.

I attended the LM post-climb afterwards, which I've noticed is a drawn out fairly inefficient affair. Oh well. I don't like complaining coz then I'll be Mr. Know-it-all. Roy has a big mouth though. Now, I have to write this proposal for an environmental project (that I sorta drafted a simple version of) or everybody gets a sanction. Today at least, Jason announced that we were all at the "Backlog" point, meaning that in case we were removed from LM now, we'd be able to start at this point of the application process (post 2 climbs and post 5 and 10 K trials).

Afterwards, had a good conversation in Starbucks with Dondi while waiting for my high school classmates. We were gonna meet up to head to John Paul's Dad's wake. That was a little sad, a little odd, a little ok what now. John Paul, well, condolences to him and his family. His dad was 55 and he was shot in the back last Sunday.

Back in Ateneo, we killed a little time at the Gonzaga parking lot. Some reminiscing, and a quick remark I gave to Cesar: The number of adventures kinda decrease when you get older, right? Yeah, people don't take risks as much, and you can't blame anyone.

Gonna check out this group that beat out Coldplay in the Brit Mercury Awards: Antony and the Johnsons

Found out about this one in one of your posts in LJ or something. Had to admire your endurance in keeping up 2 blogs.
Have to agree with you though, that as you get older, "adventures" are hard to come by. And, if they do, they're not the usual reckless abandon, devil-may-care that usually accompanies youth.
Love Coldplay! Will definitely check out the band you suggested.
