Itchy finger..waahh

I woke up early this morning at around 6:00am because I set the alarm of my phone at that time however it's weird that I often wake up even before my phone alarms. As usual, I immediately turned on the radio to listen to Morning Rush in RX 93.1. I know for a fact that I wouldn't get to listen to Chico and Del because Del isn't around but I really do not know the reason why. My sister said that she's on vacation. It's my habit to listen to Morning Rush so I just tuned in whoever the jocks are. For the case a while ago and for the remaining days of the week, it will be Chico and Jake--the 2006 radio idol winner. It was not the happy and funny Morning Rush that I get to listen though.

One thing that I didn't bother to give my attention to was the mosquito bites in my left hand. I saw it the moment I got up from bed, but I just scratched it whenever it felt itchy. It was weird though that when I was taking a bath, I couldn't bend my pointer finger and it was unusually larger than my right pointer. I didn't mind it again because I knew that it will be back to normal after a while.

I went to school, as usual I was rushing again because the time in our clock is already 8:30 but it's 20-30 minutes advanced and our first class is 9am in Comp304 plus our professor is Ma'am Poblete who never fails to check the attendance. I don't want to be late so I moved quickly. I then realize that it's during that time in the morning when it's hard to commute because the jeepneys are always full of passengers. After two jeepneys full of passengers passed by, I luckily got to ride in a jeep that just needs one passenger because one is about to alight.

When I got to LRT, it was just like the other days, nothing new. Since the semester started, I haven't seen anyone I knew yet in the train like my friends, classmates in high school in college and schoolmates in UST. The song inside the train is nice. I really like listening to Jose Mari Chan's Christmas songs. They're really soothing to the ears. However, every time the train leaves or arrives to a station, the music gets interrupted to give way for the recorded voice and sometimes the announcement of the train operator.

When I reached the classroom in Rm.302, obviously the bell hasn't rang yet. That's how good I am..haha! After a while, Ma'am arrived. It was only few of us then but the lesson has to start right away. We had our first lesson for the semester and it was about Number Systems. It was during that time when I began to notice the changes in my left hand. My pointer started to swell and slightly numb. The skin at the back of my hand has patches of red and it's noticeably not normal. My classmates even joked on me and said that it's elephantiasis. I hope it's not cause I'm starting to get scared especially that it has not yet return to normal. Anyway, I know it will get well sooner.

After our Comp304, we had ECE205:Communications 1. It was our first time to meet our professor because he was absent for the whole week last week. Our professor is Engr. Armando V. Barretto and he said we can call him Ding.."Ding ang bato!"..hehe . He's new in the academe but was working in the industry before. He's also an alumni of UST with a major in ECE in the batch 81. Ma'am Poblete said he was the classmate of Ma'am Lot--the current ECE Department head. We listened to his lecture for two hours. He seems to be good and it really looked like he knows well about the topic he was discussing. We'll know more about him and his teaching styles as the semester goes on. After his subject, we had Strength of Materials with Engr. Yap. It's not the kind of subject that I like but as always, I needed to listen to get better grades.

Haayy, after a long while I finally have time to scribble my thoughts here again. I just hope that I can do this regularly so that I can store good memories.
