Well, there wasn’t any earthquake. I must’ve not been on my right mind when I woke up. I might’ve not woken up fully from my dreams yet… maybe. Oh well, I’m no Nostradamus. But then, the earthquake doesn’t have to come on the same day as the weird animal behavior right? Maybe soon.

Uh, the Marikina fault line is right below our classroom / the third-year wing, do you know? So in case there’s an earthquake, our classroom (which is at the end of the hall and near the edge of the heights ridge) will be the first one to collapse and slide down the slopes if ever.

Before anything happens, let me note this down. It’s 5:30-something and all the dogs in the village are barking and all the cats are meowing. It’s ridiculous! And then I suddenly remember that one time, there were animals in China which displayed the same behavior and it was believed to have preempted the big earthquake which killed hundreds of thousands sometime in the early 1900’s if my memory serves me right. And now, I’m freaking out because I think there’s going to be an earthquake here in Manila today or anytime soon. So before that happens, I’m making this ridiculous prediction.

Let me be one of the many people who will unsincerely greet you a Happy New Year!

This year, was one of the most boring New Year’s I’ve ever had. More and more I feel that celebrating and being so enthusiastic about the coming year is quite nonsense. I don’t know. I’d still be a third-year high school student, I’d still have to do the same chores before the holiday break ends. Practically the only thing that changes is the single digit in the number corresponding to the year. Bah, I don’t know.
