Can't wait for the future!
I was standing in line at the grocery store the other day when I suddenly had this panicky feeling. I'm not sure where it came from; it just came to me that OMG I have an incomplete in 199. That was a split-second panic attack, then the line moved and I realized that that was a year ago. Almost a year ago, I was on my sembreak and I learned that ( Read more... ) -
Fate, isthatyou?
Okay, so out of curiosity, and fearing stasis, I went on an interview for an English trainer's job at PLDT. I didn't actually apply there. They probably saw my resume in the university database or something. So I took the exam, got a fairly good grade and was interviewed. The interview, so far, was the most comfortable I've experienced, and ( Read more... ) -
Career option/s
Mama wants me to learn how to swim, go to finishing school, fix my teeth (not manually of course), and just basically forget that I studied a very impractical course for four years. And all I can think of is how I'm going to be able to exploit these experiences on paper.

Listen to:
"Silent Sigh" by Badly Drawn Boy
"Hallelujah" by Rufus Wainwright
"Fall of the World's Optimist" by Aimee Mann

Nick Hornby

I started thinking that maybe I could have a shot at really writing without minding any Canon after I read (and re-read, and re-read) High Fidelity. I'm sure this is an endless cycle of people influenced by other people influencing ( Read more... ) -
if my life were a movie 4 (RodCon)
It's a geeky convention. Somewhere out there, some kid with glasses who's never had the courage to say, "I'm human too, not really this geeky by choice," will be able to muster up enough guts to ask a question that has nothing to do with the latest installment of Harry Potter, something that involves numbers, something that involves an actual ( Read more... ) -
Imogen Heap
I love-love-love Imogen Heap. She can sound cutesy, to the point of being almost annoying but not quite, like in her song, "Goodnight and Go" (come on, lyrics like " Why'd ya have to be so cute? It's impossible to ignore you" is enough to make me hurl), and kind of threatening in "Getting Scared", but she's equally compelling to listen to, ( Read more... ) -

if my life were a movie 2
Free fireworks display. Amazing view on a balcony. A cup of coffee in hand. City lights, city lights. Traffic jam below.
Isa na lang ang kulang.
Girl could look down and meet somebodys eyes, smile briefly and look away. You know, look for a movie moment.
Girl could take a chance and find no one else enjoying the free view.
