Oookay, I'm updating.Ü

I feel sooooo productive today! I woke up early to go to 168! Hahaha!Ü So I was there and I just kept buying and buying (wholesale, people! oh yeah!Ü). I figured I'd just match things up later... and it all worked out!Ü Turns out I bought exactly the right number of gifts for all the people I want to give gifts to this year. I'm soooo excited for January 4. Uh, yeah, back to school sucks and all, but I really realy want to give out my gifts! They're not great but... I shopped for them! Heehee.Ü I'm on a high, on a high... nananananana!

Now I'm kind of tired though. Had to label all the gifts. But now they're super organized! So yeah, I'm happy.Ü Oh, they're not wrapped -- got tamad na, but it's the thought that counts, right?

I went online to look for a college in the States. My tita's bugging me again to apply just to see if I get in... but the thing is, it's not my thing! What's so wrong with staying in the Philippines anyway? I don't even know what I want to do with my life! And I just want to stay in this country. I'm stubborn. Maybe I'm close-minded... I hope not. It's just that... even here in my own country I'm kind of lost. Won't I be just as lost in the States? And who's there to find me? I love it here. I'm a homebody. I can't just leave. And I'm still idealistic. I want to stay in the Philippines and help it get back on its feet. I really and truly love our country... because it is and always will be HOME. Maybe there are so many more opportunities in the States for a better life and a brighter future but... ok, I'm sappy, but they always teach us in CL and in all those feel-good movies and senti books that it's really the people in your life who give light and warmth to it, who make life worth living. I'm not very open to change, maybe... but my heart's here. I don't want to go. I tried looking for a college but I don't even know what to look for. 'cause everything's here. So I'm here. Maybe I'm not seeing the "bigger picture"... maybe I'm not giving change a chance. Maybe I'm limiting myself. Maybe there's something better out there... but there's so much to do here first. I'll go explore the world later. Lots of time.
