I just read an article in yahoo about "leaplings." Pretty interesting considering they only celebrate their birthdays every 4 years, not...hehehe...they should be so lucky...or not...
But definitely this day has been interesting for me. I got an early morning phone call, then as usual, I worked on my papers for my student, then it was on to school. Then assessment in school and then, I headed out to NBI in Carriedo. I was worried that I would get stuck in traffic because of the rallies but luckily, no rallies there. But I didn't take chances but I took the LRT. Strangely though, the LRT was jam-packed. That was the tightest squeeze I got...hehehehe...but it was the Women's carriage with the ocassional senior citizen squeezed in, which was good. There was a build up of people because there were about 2 trains who came in going to Monumento as compared to the other side.
I got to Carriedo in one piece. But I spent a lot of time waiting in line. There were 3 things I learned while I was there to process my 2 fingerprint cards for the FBI and DOJ.
One was that only certain individuals for fingerprinting can do that for those cards.
Two, to get a "fingerprint" checklist at Room 604.
And three, that I need to pay for two entrance tickets for the 2 cards.
Anyways I finally finished what I needed to do so I headed out to school to continue with my research. I went to the Registrar's office to check if my transcript of records was ready, and I wasn't surprised that it wasn't. Grr....I'd say more but what the hep...hehehehe...
Before I got to school, I took a little side trip. I think it was last night when I said to myself that although I have been to Luneta, I haven't actually seen the Rizal monument. And lo and behold, today, I finally went there. It wasn't entirely planned but it was definitely welcome. The weather also cooperated as it was rather cloudy and breezy and perfect for walking around. I was thinking of taking a picture while I was there since I brought my digital camera but I'm not a "cam whore" as one of my friends call themselves...hehehehe...but it was definitely a memory worth remembering. And I also wondered what all those statues there would say seeing those people making PDAs. Hmm....I'm sure they have a thing or two to say about that.
Oh, so there I was after my side trip in the Library, poring over case studies and Special Ed books. There aren't a lot of books in the Grad School Library and I'm loathe to go to the college library. I wish they had more books. But I guess the books I saw there are enough for now. Maybe one of these days or during the summer break, I'll go to the National Library and hopefully have more luck there.
After Library time, I went home. The bus was full so I decided to get off at Pedro Gil although what I really meant was Gil Puyat. That's the problem with those names. I'm not to familiar with places in Manila so I tend to confuse them. Now, I'm better off saying its Buendia...I'm sure I won't forget that anymore. Finally I found a bus in Buendia headed home and I was able to sit. I was already expecting that traffic would be heavy what with the rallies and the sale in Southmall. Grrr!!
I was surprised by the number of people in Baclaran but traffic wasn't heavy. It was however heavy in Coastal. Grr....we were like stuck there for almost an hour. I thought it was because of the sale but when we passed Longos, it was smooth sailing. I think what caused the build up, as usual was the Cavite-bound vehicles hogging the lane for Las Pinas. Grrr...to those drivers!!! Useless traffic for no reason.
So that about ends my 29th day of February. I can't believe tomorrow is March already. Oh well....is it time to panic? Hmm...not yet, I'm crossing my fingers.
