aka: pro-gbt, not a pro nor an anti-l
Somewhere in my conversation with Sarah and Sarina last night we got to talk about gays, then about lesbians. How I am a pro-gay person, and a non-pro-non-anti-lesbian if there's such a thing. In my twisted opinion, it is more scientifically possible to be gay than lesbian. For one, guys have an x chromosome, while girls don't have any y chromosome. Another, one which Sarah pointed out, every fetus starts as a female fetus, I am not entirely sure about that but that's what she said. If you want to verify, the internet is at your service. Although, while I was browsing about this, I think it contradicts that xx and xy chromosome thing. I don't know, I am not in the field of science.
I told my sisters, that I am pro-gay despite of what I have personally experienced with gay people around me. I don't take it against a person if he's gay, I don't take that in account for my disposition of liking or disliking them. There are many other factors to like or dislike a person other than being gay.
I also have this notion, that being gay feels like they have too much-ness. In Filipino, sobra sila, parang sumobra sila. As oppose to being a lesbian, I feel like something was torn apart from their being. As Sarah puts it, they are like broken. For me, they are torn. I know, I am setting a double standard here. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against lesbians, I respect their sexuality. I even have a piano instructor who's a lesbian; I even had a friend who at that time claimed she was a lesbian but in my opinion she wasn't yet then, now she's a full fledged one. Only I am not one to stand up and fight for their rights and for what they believe in. I don't know, maybe because I am a girl? Sarina, pointed out that maybe this is how guys feel about gays. Perhaps, I am not sure. Maybe I should expose myself to some lesbian literature maybe then I could understand more.
Of all that, I just want to add that I am also pro-bisexuals and pro-transgenders. Why? I don't know. I am confused. :D Maybe because being a bisexual is one of the more natural thing in the world, in my opinion. I mean, I am a girl but I am really attracted to sexy women bodies, although without malice. hehehe. As for transgenders, this is how I see them, I can see them as a boy/girl, a kid who thinks and believes that he/she is a girl/boy all along, only they got the wrong genitals. I see them starting out as a kid without any influence from the outside world, it's all them. And they have always known who they are.
*Oh gahd! Am I incriminating myself? If I have offended someone, one way or another, please enlighten me. I am willing to understand. :D
**Feel free to suggest a good book or movie about lesbians. Thanks! :D

aka: Quoting HUNGER GAMES
ergo, Hunger Games bounty spoilers.
And if you must or want to read the book then steer clear. Although, in my opinion they don't spoil the best of the book much. :D But if you like lovely surprises, then stop reading NOW. Just so you know, this is for my record. :D
Hunger Games isn't a love story. Or is it? Now, I get myself confused. Anyway hemingway, I make folds on the pages of books which contain lines that I love. I took the liberty of folding even if the book wasn't mine. It's a good thing that Sidney doesn't mind the ear folds. :D Anywho, here's what I've got from the ear folds. Which make it sound like Hunger Games is a love story. But I really don't think so. :D
*****************
Peeta: She has no idea. The effect she can have.
*****************
Katniss: After he said he loved me, did you think I could be in love with him, too?
Portia: I did, the way you avoided looking at the cameras, the blush.
*****************
Katniss: Peeta, you said at the interview you’d had a crush on me forever. When did forever start?
Peeta: Oh, let’s see. I guess the first day of school. We were five. You had a red plaid dress and your hair… it was in two braids instead of one. My father pointed you out when we were waiting in line.
*****************
Katniss: You have a remarkable memory.
Peeta: I remember everything about you. You’re the one who wasn’t paying attention.
*****************
Peeta: What was that you were saying again just before the food arrived? Something about me… no competition… best thing that ever happened to you…”
Katniss: I don’t remember that last part.
Peeta: Oh, that’s right. That’s what I was thinking.

Can I just say that I just finished the "Hunger Games" tonight?! :D And I read it with the book and not a word from the e-book. :D hooray! Thanks a lot for the suspension and for the power outage. I loved it. Katniss and Peeta and Rue. How the hell would I have known that I am missing a lot by not reading it earlier. Only, I had HP keeping me preoccupied the rest of the year. hehehe.
I spent most of the day reading the book out in our veranda. Why at the veranda? Because of day light and the winds the typhoon brings.
It devastates me to find out that I took so much time reading one book and to think it's not a thick one and it's a very entertaining one. boohoo! I hate being lame with reading.
Oh and by the way, hunger games is quite a brutal book. Maybe I find it brutal because I don't really read brutal books but I have read some Sidney Sheldon books, quite brutal, but Hunger Games feels more brutal than those books because these are teenagers killing each other for survival and the underlying circumstances. Gives me mental shudders.
Anywho, in a more reality based events...
I took the day as usual, not feeling an ounce of laziness of going to work. Not even with the rain pouring and the cuddle weather. Maybe because I was looking forward to a good commute to the office. Hehehe. And as happy as that hope of mine can be, it happened. :D At naduling ako dahil hindi ko alam kung saan ako titingin, kung titingin ba ako o hindi, at kung obvious ba o hindi. :P
Anywho, I am at the office at 7.30 this morning, much earlier than on ordinary days. Only, I have to get soaked through to get to the office because I didn't think that my umbrella could handle the wind and that it would still be practical to use one, what with all the water and the wind. I get to spend a full 45 minutes at the office before somebody tells me, "office"? is suspended. I was having a dilemma of how would I go home when Ms. Meldy asked if I won't mind sharing a cab with her. And that just solved my then pressing dilemma.
By then, I was having a run through of things I could do. When I got home, Sidney and I watched the primer of "encantandia" but the power went out. So, I picked up Sidney's copy of the "hunger games" and that's how I finished it tonight. :D
And oh! I find Kuya Alvin Mendoza nice for sharing his umbrella with me when I didn't have any intention in using mine. :))I love having these ates and kuyas moments cause I haven't been receiving this kind of care much in my life...hehehe

aka: the cubao getaway.
Just so you know, never pa akong nakapaghasik ng lagim sa cubao. Not one that counts as a lakwatsa. I only go there to watch shows, concerts and uaap games.
Last Saturday, Yi and I went to cubao expo. :D We met at Gateway and headed for cubao x. After browsing the place, we decided to have our lunch at Gateway. We had lunch at pancake house. It was the first time I tried their spicy chicken and their awesome mashed potato! :D We spent a couple of hours there, tying to pass time and for yi to finish her food, as usual. Hehehe.
Then we explored cubao x. It is one of those places that wakes up in the afternoon and fully alive at night. So when we came back in the afternoon, there are still few stores that are still closed. She browsed for clothes, I browsed trinkets. We spent a few whiles in an antique shop. And I am really fascinated with the old telephones. The one you have to turn the dials for. It was AH-MAZING! :)) Forgive my geekiness, but I've always found that kind of telephones fascinating. I kept turning dials on different phones. That same shop also sell vintage shades, some with grades, but they can be subject to modifications. They also sell old picture frames which feels like somewhere your grandparents could come out. I think that's the store we spent most of our time.
We went to "Vinyl Dump" too. And we found out, you could listen to old vinyl tracks there and just hang out. It would have been fun if we tried it but we weren't in that mode last Satruday, so we didn't.
There's this gift shop, who sells this little silver figurines that look like my collection of candles, but then I didn't ask how much they were. :P Because, one way or the other I wouldn't be able to buy them. They also sell this "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" movie poster, that I fell in love with. And made me want to have a HP poster.
There are also shops that sell polaroid and other instant cameras. There are shops that sell pre-loved books, old magazines and comics.
We also checked "The reading room" where i would be having a reading next saturday. Which I hope would push through because I am getting more excited as the days pass. I want to buy the cameo headband there and the bird with birdcage earrings, but I didn't have budget at that time.
We also had coffee in the afternoon because we wanted to see cubao expo at night. Unfortunately, there were still stores that were closed that evening. Anyway, it was a half-baked experience, so there are much reasons to go back. :D :D :D
Oh! And I was taken aback by the price of mrt fare from cubao to north ave., because it cost Php 11.00 while the ayala to north ave. costs Php 14.00
oh well towel! :D

I have this saturday morning routine of listening to mellow 94.7's "the morning after". For one, I like listening to "decade", nineties songs. Another is I love the title "the morning after" it just feels so content and grateful and many other spectrum of words, I really don't want to elaborate right now.
Anywho, Stan, one of the djs let go of the phrase: "We are just kids living our dreams". And that is like a dagger to my heart. Lucky bastards. :p. I am super envious. And I was thinking, I want to live my dream too. Then pressed pause. I thought what is my dream life anyway? Do I know for sure?
I just want to be happy. Watch people. Travel places. Read books. Write. Take amateur pictures. Drown in culture. Laugh. Have conversations with people I love and random strangers. And get paid doing things that i love to do. Just like what I have said to my sister last night, "I wish to get paid doing what I love to do, in a way that getting paid is just a big bonus, because I am happy with what I did." :D

If I chose the easier way out, at that time and landed myself into a downward spiral mess, I am not entirely sure I can afford.
I often wonder if I trapped myself in this situation. If this is entirely my fault. If the universe thought I am so full of myself and that it needs to put me back to the ground. I don't know.
In all honesty, I am scared. I am scared of the future. I am scared of all the things that I can be and the reasons why I can't be those things. I am scared I short changed myself. I am scared that I won't be able to go, anywhere but here.
Sometimes, I just hate being me.

You see things you haven't seen before. You realize some things you haven't even bothered realizing before. You stretch your horizons, your resources and your luck. You put things in to use. You become more creative in stretching your budget and resources. You become more "maparaan" and all. :D All in all it's a beautiful learning process.

The thing is, I manage to make a calm looking woman into a clown! From a clown to a drag queen.

The sketching part ended with a, i'd describe it as, calm blue face. And I thought "I've got to make this effing calm blue into a fiery, feisty red!" And so I did. (I think.) The thing is, I manage to make a calm looking woman into a clown! From a clown to a drag queen. A drag queen to a colorful soul burning in hell.:P. *clap clap!* Imagine I did that all by myself! *pats my own back*. I went crazy with colors, so...gaah! Anyway hemingway, oil pastel is some bad ass medium. It's so hard to manage! And for a reckless like me, well it's not 100% advisable. hehehe.

this is the reason why I regret so badly giving away my twilight saga books. >:P
i got so frustrated I shouted "FUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKK!" even if I know my father is just in the other room. hehehe...
my sister offered me a book i can defile but in my opinion the best books to defile are the worsts ones. ergo, the best books for defiling in my opinion is that effing saga!
^that was sunday... i think.
today as i blog this...i realize i've put some books at the third floor just gathering dusts..hmm...:D

1. HIMYM
2. Mad men
3. Fringe
4. Friends
5. Doctor Who
6. Game of Thrones
7. Downton Abbey

Will I ever be able to pull off a marathon again? I hope I can be carefree as a bee again and pull off a marathon. :D

aka: what went down last Saturday and Sunday
Last saturday, was the first time I went home from the office via mrt. From sm north to our house takes around an hour via jeepney. Oh well towel, I have to make tipid, so some sacrifices have to be made. I already owe myself 1700 and that doesn't feel good.
Anywho, Sarina and I watched the cheerdance competition and well got broken hearted. Since, in my opinion, Salinggawi didn't deliver, FEU was great and UP just well, they had better performances than the dumb blonde one and I am not happy about them winning. And cheers to La Salle for breaking through. :D
I’ve also watched the latter part of “Every Child is Special”. A bollywood movie about a dyslexic boy who got help from his art teacher. And it inspires me to water color more. :D :D :D
And Sarina and I ate 6 out of 8 slices of bacon cheeseburger pizza. And I have one too many cheesy pops in one night. :D
About Sunday, well, I have to accept that Sundays are either occupied with social obligations, shopping or just sleeping. I slept almost the whole of Sunday, yesterday. I woke up, ate breakfast, read a little of “circle of fire” then fell asleep. Woke up , ate lunch, read a little of “circle of fire", then fell asleep. Woke up, took a shower, heard mass, ate dinner, cuddle with sarina, read a little of “circle of fire” and fell asleep. The end. :D
As it is I have dreamt of one of my current crushes and he was gay in my dream. In my dream, my crush was wearing this skimpy bra, underneath his shirt of course and this t-back undies, underneath his pants of course too. And it was hilarious! And I may never see him the same way again. :))

aka: The Sitti Experience
>
Ever since I've watched my first ever play at the music museum, I've always wanted to watch a concert there. Luckily, it happened last friday. I've watched Sitti. She just have this amazing unique voice I couldn't help but really appreciate. I have also noticed that she has such nice hands (yes, creepily I have this thing for nice hands and feet).
My mother and I had dinner at "Tender Bob's". I ate baked zitti which was good, but not great compared to sbarro's, and bacon cheeseburger, but nothing beats brothers burger still.
After that we went to the venue already, which so happens we're earlier than everybody making my mother and I first in line. I kept telling her we were early but she's telling me to get in line. Only, when they were about to let people in, did she realize she was first in line and wanted to swap with me. And I told her that, that's what I've been telling her all along. Good gahd!
Anywho, before we get in line, Rico Blanco went by us. As in super just pass us by. Like an ordinary guy, simple and everything. What is it with concerts, that make you feel like you wish you are more of a fan of a celebrity than you really are so that you'd feel happier seeing them than you really feel at the time?
There was also Juris from MYMP in the crowd with her beau, i think it's her husband, if she's married already, which I heard somewhere. And he looks great from afar.
Anyway hemingway, I had this embarrassing episode of getting inside the boys' CR. Great applause here! There wasn't any sign anyway! And someone in the background was saying "sa kabila, sa kabila" but how was I supposed to know they were talking to me?! :P
And somewhere along the concert, I wished I have a cutie gay best friend. :)) Maybe because the two people in front of me are bestfriends, one gay, one girl. They (gay best friends) are fun to be with and they come in handy. :D hahaha.

I've just admitted to myself that lately, my most favored color is now RED.
From purple to yellow to red.
I don't know exactly when i stopped being purple. When I start being yellow and then turning to red. I want to be all of these three colors at the same time. I'd be really sad if I am no longer purple. I'd like to believe I am more than one color at one point in time.
But last friday when I watched the sitti concert I wore RED. :D Thus the red shoes and red dress tandem.
*commercial: I rode a tricycle wearing a dress. Some bad-ass dress wearer I am, aren't I?!:))

Last saturday, I looked up all my old blogs. It was hard because I couldn't remember the blog titles. Great me. :P
I know I posted one blog about my other blogs in multiply so I ransacked my multiply blog for that particular entry. *umuulan na ng word na blog 2 par, pa lang. hahaha.*
Anywho, while scanning my old blogs, I find myself being entertained and amused by my younger self. :D I came across an entry which just shows pictures of me and my friends eating at yellow cab and suddenly I have this itch to eat there with them. I came across a short story and I found it sweet. I came across a lot of things and suddenly I am thankful I have those blogs. They are time capsules I never meant to make.
*blogging got interrupted, so i forgot my train of thought :P*
Beside my multiply blog, I have two in blogspot beside this one. One for semi-ultra-sensitive stuffs I didn't have the nerve to post in multiply and the other for the results of the quizzes i took in blogthings.com. I also, have one in wordpress for the random things i lose my head in. Only, it was shortly lived because I have found tumblr. :D
So there goes my dear old blogs, which I will definitely read from time to time because I realized that I forgot somethings that I need reminding of and mostly, I amuse myself.:D

* I do not regret having a kras on him. His sense of humor is something I can relate to. And the fact that he reads and most importantly writes is much to be admired from this p.o.v. And I figured there are lots of other guys that call him "idol". Hmm...anywho, it's been what, almost a year, since I had a good reason to go to reviews. Hahaha.

aka: my name
I was always told by my parents that my given name translates to: Strong Winning Wisdom
I check the meaning of my name in google every now and then though.
My first name in German means free man, and it means love in Welsh. It means joy, could be song too, in English and in French strong.
My Second name is beautiful victory in Old Norse. According to Wikipedia, it is a Scandinavian given name for women from Old Norse SigrÃðr, meaning "victory" " wisdom " and "beautiful". Although, how one word could mean three different things at the same time beats me.
Ergo, if somebody asks you what does your given name mean, you should answer with the question: In what language? German, Welsh, English, French or Scandinavian?
Love in Welsh
Free in German
Joy in English
Strong in French...:))
Victory, Wisdom and Beautiful all in Scandinavian.

A liar is a liar is a liar.
The worst thing you could do to me is to lie to me. If you lie to me or lie about something when I am around and I knew about it, you are either dead to me or forever scarred in my records. I initially trust people. But once, even just once no matter how petty, you lied to me, that's it. End of the line. Bye.
I'd like to think I am an understanding person, if I am not, at least give me the credit to handle the truth. Lying is way connected to trust and once there's a flaw on the trust, in my opinion, it's no longer trust.
* I am just pissed off with someone lately...:P That's why this one's unleashed. Good thing said person would be out of my hair in a few weeks time. :D

For someone who hates to do things on deadline, I have a knack of doing my personal projects on deadline. I was about to just break my policy of one artwork a week tonight, but I have broken too many of the promises I made with myself that I had to do doodle 002 tonight.
As sloppy as it is, I love water coloring. Unfortunately, we don't have cheap water colors in our house. All of my sisters have this tube water color things, that well, are not that cheap. I asked sarina if i can have some of hers and she said I can. So I used hers, but i should buy myself some cheap water color in the future, because honestly, water coloring is so stress releasing. You can be sloppy all you want and it would turn out like a child's coloring and that is not bad at all. Children drawings are stress releasing anyway, so it's not really a bad job to draw and color like them. (Or am I just consoling myself?)
Anywho, my mother bought the tickets to Sitti's concert this friday. YEY! My problem now is that I have to undertime and that I have to ride a taxi to go home. And all of that is not in my budget. T_T. And the only noble way to have enough money until the next sweldo is to do my sideline. Father is making me help him with his backlogs and I get paid for it. So, I have to finish before Friday. Meaning, I only have tonight and tomorrow's night. I pray to God he pays me immediately. Or I'll be doing something that would make me loathe myself again.
In a happier note, I have Michael Jackson's "you rock my world" on repeat this morning. I think I want someone to dedicate this song to me or sing it for me, not in the Michael Jackson way though, unless that person is cool enough. (demanding?)
Anyhow, I am sleepy already, but I have to work. Good luck to me. :D

aka: one too many patatas :D
How unfortunate it is not to have internet at the office for about two whole days?! Good thing there's no pending deadline this week. It throws me back though, because I always start my day reading blogs. My friends' blogs, checking my facebook, tumblr, the works. Yes, I know as if I am not in the office to do work. >:D. But I come around 20 minutes early at the office, yup, valid excuse in my record. (but we both know, it doesn't only take 20 minutes to do the works. :P) I don't usually do those stuffs at home. I rarely do that actually. Don't ask me why.
So as my daily routine got intercepted by the circumstances, I decided to start reading one of the books (in this case e-book) on my ever so pending list. It's really a light one but I like how it goes. I even surprise myself being open to the fact that it has a love story which I really hate on a supposedly sci-fi genre. I mean really, waving a love story in a thriller just pisses me off. Anyway, being open to the love story, can be contributed to the lingering effect of "pride and prejudice". :D
Speaking of "pride and prejudice", not just once today I caught myself feeling like I met someone, some guy, who takes care of me. Oo feelingera! :P but as I dig deeper on that thought I realized it's Mr. Darcy. And yes, I want a Mr. Darcy to my Lizzie. Ok? Ok?! Universe? Ok? ok. :D
Speaking of "universe" today's ms. universe pageant is both a pride and yes, as much as I hate to say this, a disappointment. I am proud of Ms. Shamcey, but I am disappointed because with her looks and her brains in 3rd runner-up is a little bit of a let down. Don't you think? But still, she's just B-E-A-UTIFUL! :D Anywho, GO PHILIPPINES! :D
On to today's treats. At lunch time, Ate Marijune and Ate Charmaine bought my mother and by affinity, me, a box of Shakey's Mojos and dip. :D This is such a treat because I am feeling Shakey's deprived lately. What with my college practice of ALWAYS eating at Shakey's. (ok. promotion much? :P) At breaktime, Payi treated me to a mcdo burger value meal. Since, she's craving for fries and I am saving for a dslr camera and also, craving for fries. :D And yes, I have one too many doses of patatas today. :D
After lunch, I listened to "the big meal", only to find out Sitti's going to have a concert at music museum this friday. This made me go and borrowed Ma'am Jean's broadband because of the lack of internet at the moment. Basically, my mom and I would be going if ever she'd still be able to buy the available tickets tomorrow. Since, she's not comfortable with the idea of using her credit card through the internet and I am having second thoughts with our other alternative because I'd only get the tickets on thursday. And I am really agitated with this kind of stuffs.
I am a sigurista person with this kind of things. Especially, when this things concern tickets. Don't ask me why. Probably a manifestation of OCD or something.
When I got home, I found out that we have a visitor. Not a who but a what. Temporarily a "wow! magic sing" is residing in our house until my lola brings it to singapore later this week. As it is, Sarina and I sang a few songs until my mother came in and told sarina off. Sarina needs to study for school, blah blah blah. After sarina finished studying, the same scene happened again. Only this time, my mother is telling her off because it's already late (10:00 pm) and there's school tomorrow blah blah blah. One of the many reasons why i love my mother.
And finally, I have booked myself a soul card reading session on the 24th of September. Do I have to tell you how excited I am? :D I am into these sorts of stuffs. So, I am really really excited. One because of the reading and another because of the place where it would be held. So, that's it pansit, for now. :D
aka: one too many patatas :D
How unfortunate it is not to have internet at the office for about two whole days?! Good thing there's no pending deadline this week. It throws me back though, because I always start my day reading blogs. My friends' blogs, checking my facebook, tumblr, the works. Yes, I know as if I am not in the office to do work. >:D. But I come around 20 minutes early at the office, yup, valid excuse in my record. (but we both know, it doesn't only take 20 minutes to do the works. :P) I don't usually do those stuffs at home. I rarely do that actually. Don't ask me why.
So as my daily routine got intercepted by the circumstances, I decided to start reading one of the books (in this case e-book) on my ever so pending list. It's really a light one but I like how it goes. I even surprise myself being open to the fact that it has a love story which I really hate on a supposedly sci-fi genre. I mean really, waving a love story in a thriller just pisses me off. Anyway, being open to the love story, can be contributed to the lingering effect of "pride and prejudice". :D

aka: Pride and Prejudice
Finally! Finally! Thank you Lord for waking me up and making me appreciate the wonders of Pride and Prejudice. If you must all know, I have only watched the entirety of the 2005 movie last night. That fact I am certain now. And that, after taking breakfast this morning, I've watched it again. :D
I know, I am a geek that way. But Lizzy (Elizabeth Bennet) is such a great character of a lady and Mr. Darcy is just the most adorable young man. :D I just made Mr. Darcy sound like a teddy bear. But he's not. But ugh! It's hard to explain in words. I'll just quote here my favorite scenes and lines from the movie. :D
Mr. Bingley: But her sister Elizabeth is very agreeable.
Mr. Darcy: Barely tolerable, I dare say. But not handsome enough to tempt me. You'd better return to your partner and enjoy her smiles. You're wasting your time with me.
Charlotte Lucas: Count your blessings Lizzie. If he liked you, you'd have to talk to him.
Elizabeth Bennet: Precisely. As it is I wouldn't dance with him for all of Darbyshire, let alone the miserable half.
***
Elizabeth Bennet: And that put paid to it. I wonder who first discovered the power of poetry in driving away love?
Mr. Darcy: I thought that poetry was the food of love.
Elizabeth Bennet: Of a fine stout love, it may. But if it is only a vague inclination I'm convinced one poor sonnet will kill it stone dead
Mr. Darcy: So what do you recommend to encourage affection?
Elizabeth Bennet: Dancing. Even if one's partner is barely tolerable.
***
Mr. Darcy: I am well enough acquainted with you, Miss Elizabeth, to know that I can not alarm you, even should I wish it.
***
Elizabeth Bennet: [as she writes to Jane, Darcy suddenly enters] Mr.Darcy.
[Darcy bows, Elizabeth stands and curtseys]
Elizabeth Bennet: Please, do be seated.
[no reponse]
Elizabeth Bennet: [silence] Mr and Mrs Collins have gone to the village.
Mr. Darcy: [nods and looks around the room] This is a charming house. I believe my aunt did a great deal to it when Mr.Collins first arrived.
Elizabeth Bennet: I believe so. She could not have bestowed her kindness on a more grateful subject.
[more silence, neither one of them know what to say]
Elizabeth Bennet: Shall I call for some tea?
Mr. Darcy: No, thank you.
[a few brief more moments of silence]
Mr. Darcy: Good day, Miss Elizabeth, it's been a pleasure.
[rushes out, passing by Charlotte]
Charlotte Lucas: [to Elizabeth] What have you done to poor Mr.Darcy?
Elizabeth Bennet: ...I have no idea.
***
Mr. Darcy: Miss Elizabeth. I have struggled in vain and I can bear it no longer. These past few months have been a torment. I came to Rosings with the single object of seeing you. I had to see you. I have fought against my better judgment, my family's expectations, the inferiority of your birth, my rank and circumstance. All these things I am willing to put aside and ask you to end my agony.
Elizabeth Bennet: I don't understand.
Mr. Darcy: I love you. Most ardently. Please do me the honour of accepting my hand.
Elizabeth Bennet: Sir, I appreciate the struggle you have been through, and I am very sorry to have caused you pain. Believe me, it was unconsciously done.
Mr. Darcy: Is this your reply?
Elizabeth Bennet: Yes, sir.
Mr. Darcy: Are you... are you laughing at me?
Elizabeth Bennet: No.
Mr. Darcy: Are you *rejecting* me?
Elizabeth: I'm sure that the feelings which, as you've told me have hindered your regard, will help you in overcoming it.
Mr. Darcy: Might I ask why, with so little endeavour at civility, I am thus repulsed?
Elizabeth Bennet: And I might as well enquire why, with so evident a design of insulting me, you chose to tell me that you liked me against your better judgment.
Mr. Darcy: No, believe me, I didn't mean--
Elizabeth Bennet: If I was uncivil, then that is some excuse. But I have other reasons, you know I have.
Mr. Darcy: What reasons?
Elizabeth Bennet: Do you think anything might tempt me to accept the man who has ruined, perhaps forever, the happiness of a most beloved sister? Do you deny that you separated a young couple who loved each other, exposing your friend to the world for caprice and my sister to derision for disappointed hopes, involving them both in misery of the acutest kind?
Mr. Darcy: I do not deny it.
Elizabeth Bennet: How could you do it?
Mr. Darcy: Because I believed your sister to be indifferent to him.
Elizabeth Bennet: Indifferent?
Mr. Darcy: I watched them most carefully and realized his attachment was deeper than hers.
Elizabeth Bennet: That's because she's shy!
Mr. Darcy: Bingley, too, is modest and was persuaded she didn't feel strongly for him--
Elizabeth Bennet: Because you suggested it!
Mr. Darcy: I did it for his own good!
Elizabeth Bennet: My sister hardly shows her true feelings to me. [pauses] I suppose you suspect that his fortune had some bearing?
Mr. Darcy: No! I wouldn't do your sister the dishonor, though it was suggested...
Elizabeth Bennet: What was?
Mr. Darcy: It was made perfectly clear that an advantageous marriage...
Elizabeth Bennet: Did my sister give that impression?
Mr. Darcy: No! No. No, there was, however, I have to admit, the matter of your family...
Elizabeth Bennet: Our want of connection? Mr. Bingley didn't seem to vex himself about that--
Mr. Darcy: No, it was more than that.
Elizabeth Bennet: How, sir?
Mr. Darcy: It was the lack of propriety shown by your mother, your three younger sisters, even on occasion your father. [pauses] Forgive me. You and your sister I must exclude from this.
Elizabeth Bennet: And what about Mr. Wickham?
Mr. Darcy: Mr.. Wickham?
Elizabeth Bennet: What excuse can you give for your behavior towards him?
Mr. Darcy: You take an eager interest in that gentleman's concerns.
Elizabeth Bennet: He told me of his misfortunes.
Mr. Darcy: Oh, yes, his misfortunes have been very great indeed.
Elizabeth Bennet: You ruin his chances and yet you treat him with sarcasm.
Mr Darcy: So this is your opinion of me. Thank you for explaining so fully. Perhaps these offences might have been overlooked had not your pride been hurt by my honesty...
Elizabeth Bennet: My pride?
Mr. Darcy: ...in admitting scruples about our relationship. Could you expect me to rejoice in the inferiority of your circumstances?
Elizabeth Bennet: And those are the words of a gentleman. From the first moment I met you, your arrogance and conceit, your selfish disdain for the feelings of others made me realize that you were the last man in the world I could ever be prevailed upon to marry.
(Pause.) [He leans in towards her, as if about to kiss her]
Mr Darcy: Forgive me, madam, for taking up so much of your time.
***
Mr. Darcy: You must know, surely you must know, it was all for you. You are to generous to trifle with me. I believe you spoke with my aunt last night and it has taught me to hope as I had scarcely allowed myself before. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings had changed, I will have to tell you, you have bewitched me body and soul and I love...I love... I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.
***
Mr. Bennet: I cannot believe that anyone can deserve you. But it seems I am overruled. So I heartily give my consent.[Elizabeth hugs him] I could not have parted with you, my Lizzie, to anyone less worthy.
*sigh* there. there they all go. :D

aka: the constraints of life
aka: romanticizing reality
Yesterday (09.10.11), I struggled with myself. Of admitting I was wrong. Of accepting to myself that I was wrong. Of the fact that I need my sisters around me, more than they need me. Of the fact that I have disappointed myself in more ways than one, yesterday. Of the fact that I find that the constraints of life is eating me and how they are concrete barriers between me and the things that I want. After awhile or so, I have come to realize something and decided to scribble them down.
"The constraints of life shouldn't make you feel down. (Shouldn't let you down.) It should make you want to be better. It should make you want to rise above the challenges the constraints of life give you. (You should break the walls, the concrete barriers that is the constraints of life). (And while doing so,) You should befriend the constraints of life to be a better version of you(rself)."
*I'd like to take a good picture of my scribble only, my camera doesn't have the macro settings so it would be completely pointless to post it unless I'd scan it. But that I would do that later, like all the impending scanning requirements I burden myself with.
Anyway, I've scribbled that down yesterday morning. Last night, while we're on our way home, I think to myself that it seems like that, that paragraph is my way of thinking of romanticizing reality. Like, I choose to make it look beautiful, like it's a good thing. And not as a struggle. Perhaps, as a challenge but not in a sacrificing way of challenging one's self but in a way of growing into something better than one's self at the present time. I think that it is a much preferable way of accepting reality as it goes than anything else.
Coincidentally, my sister sarah posted this in her tumblr:

The word, KALOPSIA, reminds me of the phrase "romanticizing reality" and I don't think, for now, that it is such a bad thing to romanticize reality.

aka: harry potter merchandises
my sister, sarina told me that I should have a Harry Potter contingency fund. I told her I have, but only for the dvd of deathly hallows part 2. Because after the movie being shown in the cinema, I didn't expect I'd still be buying HP things. Then again, I proved myself wrong.
Just like the fact that I think it would be awhile before I have another planner, unless there's a very quirky one. Well, there is this HP planner and I might never write on it but I think I would have nightmares, like the hp coin collection I have many many years ago and somebody decided to stole my Harry Potter coin, if I don't buy it. Plus, it doesn't cost much anyway.
I picked up my Hogwarts house shirts yesterday (september 10, 2011). And I love them all. :D I had the Gryffindor one for a couple of months already, but I quite like the set. I love the fabric of the shirt and how it feels. :D So it's really a good buy all in all. :D *I'm still grieving the fact that I am not sorted in Gryffindor for my second account! pfft!
And I can't still seem to shake off the parallelism between j.k. rowling's hogwarts houses and the philippines top 4 universities, if only, for their colors :D (that is all i would like to admit publicly, hehehe). Ergo,
Gryffindor = UP
Ravenclaw = ADMU
Slytherin = DLSU
Hufflepuff = UST

aka: can we talk about september 6?
Because I really think September 6 was a series of sweet little things. :D
I started Tuesday with cleaning up my table, fixing the things into containers my mother bought me this weekend. I feel happy about the little box organizer where I've placed the paper clips, fasteners, etc. I think of buying a lot of those for my earrings but I think I'd do that next year. :D
Anyway, I brought with me some m&m's because we have supplies. Eating m&m's peanuts makes me happy. :D.
At lunch, I forgot to deposit the money I was planning to deposit. So, I did it during the 15 minute break time in the afternoon. It was only yesterday (september 5, in this context) that I found out that it's just 15 minutes. All along I thought it was 30 minutes. For the past few months my life was a lie! :P I feel great about depositing my money and see a concrete progress to my dslr camera. The challenge now is to keep the practice and to fend off the temptation to withdraw. :D
Ate Julie, being a happy trooper that day treated me to a tall mocca frappe. :D Another thing that makes me happy. I texted her "Salamat sa kape. Sana lagi kang masaya para lagi akong may biyaya" and to that she replied "tumula ka pa!" :)) I mean it though. :D
On our way home, Camille had this craving for something to eat. She treated me to a "snacku" as per my request. :D And we were able to go home earlier than usual since there was a vehicle available earlier than usual.
Universe, you know, I can get used to this. :D Thanks for the little things. :D
Because I really think September 6 was a series of sweet little things. :D
I started Tuesday with cleaning up my table, fixing the things into containers my mother bought me this weekend. I feel happy about the little box organizer where I've placed the paper clips, fasteners, etc. I think of buying a lot of those for my earrings but I think I'd do that next year. :D
Anyway, I brought with me some m&m's because we have supplies. Eating m&m's peanuts makes me happy. :D.
At lunch, I forgot to deposit the money I was planning to deposit. So, I did it during the 15 minute break time in the afternoon. It was only yesterday (september 5, in this context) that I found out that it's just 15 minutes. All along I thought it was 30 minutes. For the past few months my life was a lie! :P I feel great about depositing my money and see a concrete progress to my dslr camera.

After lunch today, I listened to "THE BIG MEAL" because I miss listening to the radio. Especially, listening to "Beat Suzy!" :D. I laughed as eff, talked as eff and I don't even care (I mean, really, it's just me and my mom inside her office)! Anyway, after the big meal, I listened to the songs in my ipod in 'all songs shuffle mode' :D. I sang and moved (cause it's not dancing, if you're just bopping your head, stomping your foot or pretending to beat a drum) to the music. :D It's fun. I find it very much releasing. What?! hahaha. It makes me happy. Activates or gives me a rush of endorphins. I don't know the scientific way to explain endorphins. Basta! Endorphins is something related to make people happy.
Anywho, in one of my recent snippets, I said that I'd return to my last week's routine and everything. Yadda, yadda, yadda. As always, my plans are just too grand for me to handle.
When I got home, my father asked me to accompany him in bringing my grandmother and my uncle to the bus terminal. I didn't hesitate. I didn't even eat dinner. Since it's Tapa again, my lunch and it gives my TMJ some unnecessary aching. I just grabbed my favorite m&m's and I was good to go.
My grandmother and I had this conversation about our hairs and our genetical make-up of having white/gray hair early on. God bless me. And the fact that coloring our hair would lead to an earlier sprouts of white/gray hair. Bless me Lord, and here I am planning to have my hair cellophaned (is there such term? anyway, I hope you get my drift) Red. Now, well...T_T. I am summoning up all my courages to subject my hair to this treatment and here comes my grandmother telling me the horrors of genetics! hmp!
As peculiar as my hair and genetics conversation with my Lola, nothing beats the short conversation my father and I had on our way home from the bus terminal. We talked about manicure and pedicure. Dear lord! And papa started the conversation! Hahaha. He said "hindi ko maisip kung san nanggaling ang manicure at pedicure" and to that I said "pati ba naman yun pinagiisipan mo?!" My father is weirder than he's facade would give away. I mean even my mother don't talk to me about mani and pedi. Since, I am not really a fan. For it to be brought up in a conversation with me is to start yourself, because I won't. And father bringing it up tonight is just beyond me. :)). Obviously, I like spending time with my father lately. :D
And oh, i am in ravenclaw too with my other pottermore account. pfft!

Anyway, lately I've been having a hard time putting into action my plans. Especially my weekend plans. It seems that something is always coming up. Things that I rather enjoy to do as well. I am not complaining. Although, I find it bizarre how my life is turning out lately. Again, I am not complaining. Such changes are very much welcome. Such life is a good life. :D
I feel like I no longer have "bum weekends" you know, just watch a good movie or finally finish the books I have planned to finish too many weeks ago. And finally start on the "Hunger Games" series. Instead, I am having these little adventures. I consider them adventures because they weren't part of my practices since ever. They are not much but they put life into my life.
Like driving again, visiting families, spending on shoes, buying new techie stuffs, discovering new food and new places, and watching movies at the movie houses (which I really really prefer even if one can download movies through the net).
And I thought that by this weekend, I'll have the weekend all to myself and my books. But obviously, it won't turn out like that. Since, I have decided to watch two movies (at the cinemas) this Saturday and I asked my father that I need to go to greenhills on Sunday morning and he wanted to go to Cubao Expo (pakana ko pa din naman) in the afternoon.
Moving on to weekdays, just last week I've establish a routine which didn't have a follow through this week. Great me! Clap clap! But I'll try my best to restart it tonight. Since, Pottermore currently, can only give me HP1 and I have finished that last night, everything else should resume. :D
I hope to do a bit of reading of "Circle of Fire" at least 3 to 5 chapters of it and then I'll update my planner. As in seriously update it! For real now.
I've also want to start my doodles 002, not tonight though. Too handful. I just want to jump start it so that I won't get frustrated when the deadline looms again. I'll try to LAYER it. Take the whole process slowly. I'd really love to try that. :D

ACK! this killed me! can relate. :)) no wonder sarina is so obsessed with "pride and prejudice". I hope to watch it again(?). I am not sure if I have watched the entirety of it and lack any sensitive fiber while watching it because i don't feel like I have appreciated it as much as I am suppose to appreciate it under normal circumstances (ano daw? :D) gah. anyway, completely miss the point! GAH! so CUTE!

I have beat the deadline of my artwork. I have finished it last night (09.06.11) I didn't post it last night because I was too sleepy already. I couldn't post it this morning, because the laptop I am currently using is from the jurassic era. Ergo, no memory card slot. Yes, I just took a photo of my drawing. :)) Again, too lazy to scan. Maybe, I'll scan it later, much later though.
On my way to office this morning, I am having this dilemma about putting a description or my thoughts about my drawing and the whole process OR not put any explanation at all. Post it and then leave it just like that, stark naked, ready to be lambasted and all without any words for protection. I thought about my no-word-artwork policy. And thought about circling my own rule. But that's just cheating. Great me, cheating myself! what a low life! :P.
Anyway, I decided to just blog about the process and post the picture separately. No harm done, No rule broken. I hope. Anyway, my drawing didn't come entirely as planned. Nope. No. The concept I have inside my head was, I realized last night, hard to put on paper. Great me. I got so frustrated and impatient, I turned the page and just created a whole different subject. Just right out of the top of my head. And I really don't have a "vision" for it what so ever. I just let the lines go on its own accord. It got me wondering if real artists just go with the flow or if they really have a vision. Well for now, it beats me.
It's not much. I am not an artist at all. But one of my sisters said it looks like my friend, payi, only with straight hair. It's probably the eyes. :)) Anyway, I am too much of an eye person. Apparently,it translates to my drawing that the subject has such big eyes! :)). They eat up portions of the face that are no longer intended for the eyes. :)). The way I draw big eyes hasn't change much since I was in high school. I'll just attempt to draw a person some other time, after I have browsed enough drawings out and about the net to take some points.
Originally, I wanted my artworks to be colored and happy. But my first one is just a pencil-and-paper kind. I am too much of a coward to put some color to it. I have already wrapped my head around the concepts for my next two drawings and I am going to make sure they have colors. :D
Anyway hemingway, I am going to post my drawings under the series "doodles" :D.

here's a fair warning to all my friends and loved ones that would be having their birthdays, anniversaries, etc, these coming months and up to christmas season.
I am on a very tight budget. So I hope for your understanding on the gifts that I would give your way. :D. I'll try my best to be creative enough and personalize it. TRY is the operative word here. So don't you guys get your hopes up. :))
and yes, if you really look at how my blog goes, i ask too much of too many things. Even bothered myself with a wish list. Expecting and hoping that at least even one that is on that list would come my way as a gift. And here I am appealing to the people around me to understand that I can't give much of anything that has a high, or probably just even medium, monetary value. SELFISH BITCH! :P
but don't worry, for all my really and truly dear ones, I'll really try to be creative. If not, I hope to give a gift that I wouldn't ordinary give you and I'd think you'd really enjoy. :D. Cheers! to the many mini-projects I have set myself to! hahaha.Good luck me. :D

It's already September 5 and that means there are only two days left till the first week of September ends. Meaning, I only have tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to produce a wordless artwork. I already have a concept, but i have pictured myself doing it on a weekend. Actually, I pictured myself doing it this last weekend. But as always, my latest weekend plan didn't go as planned.
Last Saturday, I blew my money in buying large quantities of shampoo (because i really don't want to do grocery things), wet wipes (same reason), a giant green cross alchohol (because i have this psychological theory that I save money buying in bulk) and gave in to my long suppressed impulse of buying junk food, a lot of junk foods.
In the afternoon, I get to finish one of the books I planned to finish a few weekends ago. :))
Then Sunday came, Sunday morning is a hectic but rather enjoyable morning. My father and I got up at 6:00 in the morning. And by 6:30 am we are on our way to Discovery Hotel at Ortigas. Ready to wake everybody up at room 705. :D
My little half-indian cousin is spending her last day here in ph, and well I couldn't let the chance pass by of playing with her. She's the most adorable kid cousin I've ever had, when she's not throwing her signature tantrums that is.
She preoccupied the rest of my morning until lunch. My morning, I say, because when the little brat woke up and I am the first person she saw, she had this great idea that I want to play with her. The first thing she asked me was "where's ate Sidney?" and I answered, she's at Tito Rey's House because she's sick. Then we played. She then went asking me to do more funny tricks, which I wasn't even aware that I am doing tricks, more so funny ones. But I oblige even if I am not even half sure what are those funny tricks are. We're already playing for awhile when she called me "ate Sarah!" O.o! The little brat thought I was Sarah all those time. Then a grown up (I can't remember who) heard about it and said (referring to me): She's not ate Sarah, she's ate Caryl.
then she just acknowledges the fact, that I am her "ate Caryl". Just like that!
From the hotel, we have to bring everybody to our home. Since, it's Taatu's request since the day she landed here. "I want to go to Tito Rey's house!" - the phrase she kept on saying over and over and over again. It was a quick visit though, because we have to catch their flight and my tita and Taatu have to be at the airport at 12:30 noon.
We went to eat lunch at Max's Ermita, because it's my tito bernie's birthday. After being bloated by soup, chicken and fish fillet we went off to NAIA. There we send off my tita and taatu. Afterwards, we got greeted by traffic jam at Taft near Manila City Hall. So much of it being a Sunday! My father and I left everybody at SM San Lazaro afterwards. And we headed home. At last.
I tried to read the next book in my list. But my father went to our room and spend some thirty minutes at the stationary bike and some more minutes fiddling with the treadmill. Somewhere between our conversation (my father, sarina and I), my father said to sarina (indirectly with me too, just saying. :)) ):
Father: Alam mo anak, walang bawal na hindi na reremedyuhan...
Me: LOL! *Way to go father! Nice parenting skills! :))
I didn't finish the second book on my list, but I am onto it. :D I hope to finish it by Wednesday. But seriously, sometimes, my hopes are too ambitious.
*I hope there's someone out there who'd gladly tag along when I do my typewriter canvassing. Hmm.. :D someone I rather enjoy the company, because if universe, you're listening, I hope you know who I don't want to tag along. :))

T_T i am such a loser in that matter. i hope i'd do best with the relaks planner. anyway, i've been planning lately to just do loose letters or write imprints of the days next year, so that i can send them to myself around two years(2014) from 2012. because i'd like to receive letters and cards, only no one bothers to write letters and cards, nowadays. hmm...

- HAVE FUN while SAVING

i like (and hate, but that would be for some other snippet in the future) the fact that people have the capability of getting used to things.
i like to stretch my horizons, more like the personal kind not in the grown up kind. blah! too hard to elaborate.
anyway what i mean is, i express myself more with words so i want to try to make some artworks that wouldn't involve words. since in our household i am the only sister that doesn't do visual artwork except for a kindergarten's doodle but i'd bank on that. :)) maybe it's the lack of my talent in that genre, or my lack of skills, or probably my lack of patience...i don't know. but i'd like to find out where this "one-artwork-a-week-strictly-with-no-words-no-letters" would go...
i also like to take "saving up for a dslr camera" a challenge. a challenge i struggle everyday. since my mind always tempts me to buy this and that...i need to have this and that thoughts. and yes i really really want to have other things, like a typewriter which i think no one would even bother giving it to me as a present for christmas this year and the fact that i have these itching thoughts that "what if no one's selling typewriters anymore?" or "how much should i save for a typewriter?" and "how would i sustain the 'ink' on that thing?". but what the hell I still want a typewriter and a dslr camera. My time frame for the typewriter is this December, so please Lord, I hope I have enough loving family and friends who’d give me a typewriter or a means to have my own typewriter without impending my want for a dslr camera. I know, I ask to much, but PLEASE! :D
I also want a new pair of apple headphones for my ipod because seriously mine looks awful! Really awful! I also want that adaptor thing for recharging my ipod without opening my laptop and if I want to recharge it here at the office. I also want a high heeled crocs, an imitation from greenhills would be great, because much as I appreciate my “semi-gladiator-plastic-sandals”, I would really really want a high-heeled shoes I can make “sabak!” in the rain, not to mention sometimes I get allergies from that sandals, they are not the disgusting kind of allergy, they just itch and when I scratch them that’s when things get disgustingly ugly not to mention scars that take awhile to fade.
Oh! And I like treating my sisters to food and I feel so bad if I don’t get to treat them when they want to. I feel such a lame sister at those times. But I hope I have impressed upon them that I really want a camera and that their treats would go down to one treat biweekly. And I hope they’d understand.
And I easily succumb to treat teasing (pag may mga nangpapalibre) I feel bad whenever I can’t. Seriously, if I am rich, I’d give in. If I am not saving for anything, I’d give in. Even if I am saving for something, I seriously have to have a one on one talk with myself not to give in.
And oh I also need to buy rechargeable batteries for my waterproof digital camera. Pfft! I think this is urgent but it always slips my mind until I need to use my digi cam! Hmp! I’ll probably buy this Saturday. I hope, since I’ve been missing out on taking random pictures!
And yeah…potatos! I always crave for fries and hashbrown and potato chips! Good lord!
See? Such great challenges. :)) But my time frame for my camera is February 2012, much like a gift for myself for my 22nd birthday, like this year’s instax camera. :D
All that and I completely lost the point of this blog which is “getting used to things”. I really really hope that I’d get used to not eating potatos that much and that I shouldn’t go to the malls so I won’t see things I want to buy or have any other ideas. I hope I’d get used to “treat teases” without feeling so effingly bad about refusing. And I hope I get to record my spending so that they would be real to me, and I would know where my cost cutting efforts should be. And I hope I get use to not giving in to my impulses. And I hope I get use to making artworks without words. :D And I hope that I get use to these ideas and get use to thinking that these are ideas are GOOD ideas. :D
i decided that starting this september...
- at least one artwork a week (food for the soul :) ) so i won't forget.
- pay attention to my taro gomi coloring books :)
- update my planner daily and commit! :)

aka: what are the odds? :D
i went out of the office 30 minutes later than my usual 6 o' clock. no thanks to rr12-2011.
but thanks for that, waiting in line was much fun and the odds of three random people thrown in one vehicle at a time couldn't be anymore than just a possibility inside my head. but tonight it happened. it's just too bad that looking behind the vehicle would be too much of a weirdness and too much of stalking...:))

aka: dib's "stop reading!"
i was reading the blurb of sarah's newly bought book the "chemical garden trilogy book 1" when out of nowhere she said "will you stop reading?!"
and i answered "i am just reading the blurb!"
then she went ranting: you are a bad spoiler! (in which i heard you're a bad SPIDER! goodness me!) you and sidney are bad spoilers (SPIDERS!) and a fast reader! stop reading! or i will never talk to you again!
me: o.O seriously?! can i borrow it? before you read it? promise i won't tell you anything!
sarah: NO! you tell me everything!
me: i'll just buy my own or better yet download an ebook! :P
sarah: sure but don't talk to me anymore!
me: o.O i am sorry dibs..

i am driving again! (after 3 to 4 years?) :D
my father brought me to qmc at 6 o' clock yesterday (august 30,2011) to practice some maneuvers that i never quite perfected before... :D
it was fun, i told him we should do that more often, i mean every sunday. :D
after that he told me he was going for a walk around the circle...i went with him...
we end up walking up and down 20 flights of stairs! and i wasn't informed we'd be doing that! talk about being prepared! my legs and thighs are quite sore today...just quite sore...hmm
we had pandesal and ham and cheese omelette for breakfast and baked mac for lunch and dinner...
the twins gave us some kfc snackbox and mashed potato when they arrived home from shopping...
