I am surrounded by no less than twenty --yes, read that again-- twenty adolescent boys in high school uniforms. My ears are bleeding from gunshots from their frigging RPGs. I woke up early and hauled 6k of laundry to the laundromat. I was expecting to have some peace and quiet since it's a school day and kids are not supposed to be hanging out here in an internet cafe. But what do you know. They're all over the place.

Why I'm here and not silently blogging from the dark crumminess of my own home? That huge storm Tuesday night busted my PLDT landline again. Darn you, PLDT. I don't love the smell of teenage boy in the mornings.
