Hello there, friend. How have you been?:)

"We stress the value of respect because, win or lose, we never act immorally. We believe that morals, not medals, determine your value as a person."

magaling na bataI hope what she said was true for at least half of us. It sounds so nice and maybe just a little bit too idealistic for the cynic in me. 'Never' might be stretching it too far. 'Not nearly as much as they do,' seems to cover it better.

YSABEL! You better be in class tomorrow. I miss you, crazy.
I suppose I should try looking for you at home. Haha. Get well. :D

Mariel is probably in India now. I hope she has lots of fun there. And that she wins, if it isn't too much. Mostly I hope she'll be safe and not quite so harassed anymore.
Go Mariel!:D

Hugs. Wow. Thanks. ^^
And happy Christmas (and Hanukah, Kwanzaa, birthday, anniversary...) too. ♥
God bless ye. :)

Another year gone. Let's make this new one even better.
Cheers!:)

Everyone looked great last Saturday. :D It would've been more adorable if they'd managed to look great while following the dresscode but whatever. Woot.

Tomorrow is the opening of our four-day institutional family day. It doesn't seem quite true, but it still sounds kind of catchy. Besides, it's a lot better than the "fair" that will be the end of some of us.
Will I see you around?
...Will I even get to go around?:|
Let's not worry. This will be fun because we want it to be.

I am
currently wondering what you think of this journal--or what you think of anything, really. Do you have time to spare? I would love you for leaving a comment. :D
My own geekiness overwhelms me at times.

Word for yesterday:
sol·ip·sism
noun
belief in self as only reality: the belief that the only thing somebody can be sure of is that he or she exists, and that true knowledge of anything else is impossible
[Late 19th century. < Latin solus "alone" + ipse "self"]

Life is beautiful, says the hypocrite.

This is because I randomly steal from e-mails signatures:
Be who you are and say what you feel,
because those who mind don't matter
and those who matter don't mind.
Dr. Seuss (1904 - 1991)
Courage is not the towering oak that
sees storms come and go; it is the
fragile blossom that opens in the snow.
Alice Mackenzie Swaim
Botherful throat. Demmit.
28May07.
Why is it that listening and following does not help much? I am not thinking. I am trying not to. What happens now? A lot has happened--what now?
I got a hug. I am not sure if that makes me calm at all.
Hello, you. I was quite happy to see you a while ago. Forgive my manners though. They tend to forget me.

I think the house is finally final. Lovely. Thanks. <3
Before you criticize someone,
you should walk a mile in their shoes.
That way, when you criticize them,
you are a mile away from them and you have their shoes.

Apparently, nothing is ever really final. We just get to do things and to move along because, sometimes, we decide: screw those odds; I'm doing this now.
Then we do. And we hope that, after 10 years, it won't have blown everything to an ash-covered mess.
Are you happy, where you are now? I'm content, I think. But, no, wait--that doesn't seem like the right way to say it. Let's try again.
I'm content.
If I don't think I am, then how would (could?) I have known in the first place?
It's scary to re-realize that some people actually read this thing.
21July07.
It's finally here. Wow.
I don't know if I mean the book or the work; if I'm happy or annoyed.
It's here though. This is it.
When you can make it sound as happy as anything, who cares what it is?
♥
31July07.
Will we drop even more in the next three days? And what after that? An essay, a test...thinking that this will matter very much to my future puts things in a perspective that makes me feel miniscule.
I fail at writing. A person writes to get thoughts across. I can't do that properly. Ugh. Fail. :(
Must find something else to possibly excel in then, I suppose. :)
19July07. August. I meant August.

Snickers for a few IM's sent. How lovely last Monday was. (It was last Monday, wasn't it? Hmm. Lemme see. That day wasn't particularly lovely after all. But who cares. Snickers. <3)
Are there reading glasses for people who don't really need them but don't want to need them ever?
Like, my vision's not 20-20, but it's good enough (I don't want to be a pilot or a sniper anyway). Except I'm in a bookworm-mood and the thought of tiring my eyes to the point of needing lenses to see properly is something I dislike.
Glasses, mp3s, programs, and dbds.
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me us.

It's the breaking point of no return. If we don't get it now, we were not destined to. The chronicles keep on coming and they are fun. Where does the intensive learning come in?
04Sept07.
We have made it past the breaking point, apparently. That was fairly...unfelt. We are also starting to do better in Math. How about that bit of careless? Q sub 2 is in no way equal to Q squared. I wonder what possessed me to do that.
Heehee. You are too lovely. :)

Hail storm in Quezon City this afternoon (around 3). Wow. PAGASA warns against tornado-ish thingees next.
Does my using a computer worsen all these changes in any way?

I couldn't find a nice video of Landslide, so I got this instead. They probably aren't related in any significant way. I just like them both right now and listening to them makes me feel less ugh-ish. Hee. :)

this. Very important, especially for rooms 3 & 4 and, uh, the other absentees (haven't really checked the class list ^^). Much thanks to Aia for posting it. :)
We have to study for this, guys. Up from the floor now. Not so hard, once we stop thinking that it is. (Somewhere in that thought is a scientific/psychological fact, I swear.)
The retreat was a lovely kind of deadly.
21Oct07.
On top of the heartless killings of civilians, what irks me is that they seem to be belittling their own losses (if that is their reason for all this). It seems to me that this "kill for a kill" thing is just a statement: We miss our brothers very much, but your loss can replace them.
I believe... That laughter is the only cure for grief.
And I believe that love is stronger than death. (Fulguhm, 1986.)
It is rather hard to act out, but it do seem true enough.
Phonthip is probably back home now. I am sort of waiting for the feeling of change to sink in.

Accidents are slightly better, if only because that means it wasn't planned.
On another more frustrating note - dura lex, sed lex. If tears could wash rules away, why don't we just weep and win? Oh, the principles. Or the lack of it, more like.
You do this, you get something and forego something else. Eurgh.
18Nov07.
This morning I realized that I have a wish list, too. So for the heck of not forgetting what I want to have (as I often do, it seems) I shall write them down here.
I want: to go on a very long tour around Europe, to go on a vacation with my cousins somewhere away from the city, to live in that yet-to-be-built house, to completely write something substantial, to have the time and effort to...oh, yes.
Let's try again.
Material things. That was my problem before. I thought too much of things that would last and not enough of things I could actually buy. (Isn't this epiphany supposed to go the other way?)
Whatever. Being materialistic, I want:
telephoto lens (AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4G ED VR or AF-S NIKKOR 400mm f/2.8G ED VR. Or, no, not really. I won't be able to use those big things. But I still want cool lenses for macro and zoom shots),
a MacBook (or any adorable laptop to call my own),
a Moleskine (large plain journal or large sketch book - I could get 'em for around PHP700 online!),
dresses (I detest making tops and jeans match),
sneakers (because I don't have any pair),
pants that fit properly,
colored pens,
a working remote control (for the TV in my room),
iPod video (80 GB - or maybe a 16 GB touch. hahaha),
headphones or earphones that aren't ridiculously big,
a flashdrive that has a memory of 4GB or more ;),
pretty socks,
a pretty backpack (for school) and a messenger bag (for not - Timbuk2!),
a green (or blue) cashmere sweater,
jackets(!!!),
a locket (with a long chain - white gold or platinum...do they even make 'em with those stuff?),
gold pocket watch.
Whee.
Oh, the unattainable things in life. Not that I want to attain them (deep down), I suppose. Huh.
Randomly,
this is interesting. And Opera sucks in the way that it doesn't allow me to use YouSendIt. Pfft.
25Dec07.
Happy Christmas to one and all! <3
Cheers, buddies. Life rocks. Seriously. Even when you get nothing of what you asked for and only a bit of what you really need. It's something. And it comes with love. Woot.
Happy birthday. :)

The only difference is that last digit when you have to write the complete date down, and even then it is only noticeable when you forget to make two circles instead of two lines. But what the hey? - Any excuse to change for the better. ;)
Happy new year, one and all. I hope you guys had a great 2007 and that you'll have an even better 366 days ahead of you. May God be with you always.
Ma famille est parfait assez. Merci. :) Oh, who knows what I meant to say or actually said?
07Jan08.
You have more than enough. No need to ask for more. It may be slightly ironic, but there you go. At least it is easier to pick, isn't it? How do you get into 30 of one and not 60 of the other? Who cares.
I am happy. Pleased. Ecstatic. A bit worried. Grateful. All Yours, after all. Merci. <3
Carabao-carts and jeepney roofs - what wonderful ways to travel. I wouldn't go back for the place, but I'd hop on the next bus for the people.

From my pretty pen (because the politicians are rather funny): I believe in karma. That means I can do bad things to you and think that you deserve it.
A few months ago a good enough grade was good enough. What happened to those days? And since when has the question jumped from passing to acing? It makes the news rather dull, the want to do more rather lacking.

There's just something about a Monday, isn't there, that's enough to make hearts fail more than they do on other days.
This could hurt more if I hadn't already given up on you so long ago. Whoever it is that you act like you are, you aren't even close to it. Stop messing around. You are are losing whatever right it is you have to anything with every move that you make.
My snake watch should bite you hard.
Lahat nalang nang makita mo... No, not anymore, dear - not if I can stop myself.
13Apr08.
It's a bit funny, how I did better in this one thing when I decided that it wasn't the most important thing in my life and that it would always come after them.
Maybe that's what you have been saying all along.
18May08.
Too close to home. Literally. All's good, though, isn't it? So I'm still thankfulgratefulhappy. YAY. <3
Ayoko pa mag-college. Frickin' Ateneo and it's requirements and me and my paranoia. That prep course is going to take three days of my summer away leaving me with ten. TEN. And then. AW, HECK.
Maybe this should mean less using the computer. But bah. Help?
27May08.
We have a Wii! Woot! :D There's nothing but the set (i.e., one Wii remote and Wii Sports) for now and my vacation is practically over and, yeah, it was not a very pragmatic purchase, but WHATEVER. It is an adorable console. Besides, there are Mii's.
YAY. :x

Not that I'm complaining - because I feel stupidly happy - but who clicked that hug counter so much?
Well. Whoever you are. Thanks, you. :>

How can I study when I'm constantly meltingswooningfluttering?
03July08.
After finally being SO close to cleaning my room that Mom and Dad hardly tell me to fix it anymore, I'm going to have to put everything in boxes. For a renovation. Whee?
Again. AGAIN. Why do I not feel more, say more, be more?
You know you can't do this by yourself. You know they need all the help they can get. Get a grip.
