...recall all of the names of the people who called me Frances.
...name of all the books I read and re-read.
...count all the movies I watched and with who.
...remember what exactly happened at a particular month and the impact (be it little or small) that it had on me.
Call me sentimental, but I have a very good memory.
Okay, if you're my friend, you'll say I'm lying. After all, this is the same girl who cannot memorize the four basic roles of media. But when I say I have a good memory, it means that I can remember the most significant stuff that went on in the drama that is my life.
So what exactly is the purpose of this post?
Not much, except that I remembered it's almost the end of May, and the end of summer, if you must, and June is supposed to be the beginning of school. Well, at least for most of you who are still studying, that is.
Gah.
Reading that last sentence makes me feel so so jealous of my friends who are still relying on their parents for everything. Not that I've emancipated myself from my parents or anything. What I meant was, I envy those who are still being taken under the wing of their parents in terms of their education, who are lucky enough to still experience the torture that is school.
It makes me regret that I felt like I wasted a couple of years in college. You see, I never thought (or dreamt possible!) that college would be something so important to me. I just felt like I had unlimited time in my hands to waste away and I had so many chances to still be enjoying life in those last few years, but then again, my old friend Time Fast Forwarder picked up the phase quite rapidly.
Anyway, even though I felt like I was stupid enough not to be that model student everyone thought I was, I do have tons of memories to live with.
For instance, I can tick off the names of the people I met in college who called me 'Frances'. You see, I'd rather go by 'Chai', and it's not hard to miss when some call you by your real name.
I can tell you the books I've read and re-read because in one corner of the room right now, I have piles of novels which I meticulously arrange according to height, unless it's a series, then I put them together, and on the area where it is actually disorganized, I place the books I have bookmarked halfway because I never got to finish them yet. But it's not like I don't know how the story goes anyway. HAHA.
I can also count all the movies I have watched and with who, because all the movie tickets I have ever purchased are stored in my wallet as a remembrance. AND! Most of the time, I watch movies alone as part of my most cherished 'me time'.:)
And lastly, I can tell you what happened at a particular month the previous year because each one left a distinct memory in me that will surely last for lifetimes to come.:)
