in beach waves i almost met my death
My belief that a near-death experience would lead to a reappraisal and redirection of one's life has been mercilessly smashed into tiny tiny pieces, because I've come thisclose to drowning and my life doesn't seem all that changed. I mean, not really. Okay. Not at all.

It's all very patalo: I was getting tired with all the wave-jumping business and kind of spaced out, which turned out to be a very stupid thing to because two seconds later I was snorting liters of pool water.

I clung on for dear life to a limb that turned out to be connected to Pau. Since I wasn't able to shriek for help because of the water in the lungs thing, she was the one who did that.  With flourish. Cue in twenty seconds of heroic carrying and frantic coughing, and I was good as new.

My Almost Watery Grave

Even though my brief encounter with death eclipses every exciting memory I have of yesterday, I think it's only right to list other things that happened. For posterity, using Elizabeth's words.

- Finally learned how to float and move about in water without walking on the tiles. I dunno if I can call that swimming though. I have been trying to get people to teach me how to float for over a decade, and when I think about how I've only manged to do it after hearing nerdy physics-related instructions, I realize that I'm a bigger nerd than I have ever supposed.

- The fun 1-2-3 pass. Gago talaga si Pam.

- Boobs ni Jer. And yung libreng ice cream ni Ver na pababayaran daw kay Bim.

- First time na pagbisita sa bahay nila Pam afterwards.

Okay, I'm kinda blank now and can't properly 'reminisce' (wtf parang ang tagal nang nangyari nito ah) since I keep thinking about My Many Pending Tasks. Once people start uploading pictures, I can probably grab some and make some lame photo-commentary of my own. But for now, it's time for Algebra.

wah you're getting the wrong impression here. i'm not employed. i tutor my own sister because we have a month-long deal thing, and because i'm heroic like that. damn, it felt so good to be thought of as someone who has a job, i almost didn't want to correct you! X(
