It's uppercase and lowercase not all caps and (as my father says) small caps.
Please stay with me lady luck.
Bro. eddie said I have a "guardian angel" (basta may nagbabantay sa akin)
Please stay with me. I barely acknowledge your presence but I am ever grateful for you so please stay with me. (This post is becoming more of a letter than a sporadic blurt but anyways.)
I feel like this is the first time I've been truly, madly and deeply stressed in my entire life.
Seriously. It's like I am going to explode any minute. Gahd...please help me,

Time capsul-ing this feeling before cynical reality and busy mundane days take it away from me.

My grandmother told me that one of my childhood playmates (my first crush ever, ahem!)
was asking how me and my little sister Sarina are.
I heard he is moving to New Jersey this month.
It was nice to reminisce not just memories but also feelings.
The fun. The childishness. The reckless abandon. I mean, being carefree. :))
I miss my childhood.
The feeling that, the knowledge of being "kinakamusta" of a playmate from so many years
ago is one of the more awesome things in life. :D

Kudos and Good Luck dear old playmate! :)

I am an easily offended person.
Maybe because I can hear the underlying cuss.
I can feel the underlying bitch slaps.
the underlying evil and offense in the words and the actions of people.
that's why I am easily offended.

And I just like to tell the entire world, that I don't find my expressive face as a liability.
Thank you very much.

*You know what's much better than being a "game changer "or "the one that got away"?
"The game changer that got away". You see, at first you might think that the "the one" part of the "the one that got away" could suffice as a game changer. What I mean is, you can't be "the one" without being a "game changer". Perhaps, but it is not all encompassing. One could be a game changer and not be the one. You could change the game and lose it to the one. That's a sad truth and its possibility of happening is infinite. So, my point here is that the "The game changer that got away" is far up there in the pedestals of pedestals of great masochism. :))

*January pa lang, but I am already living through the possibilities of February, the most magical month in a year (of course, this is biased :)) ). Tama ba yun? Thriving in January while living in February? I know it's wrong. All I know is I have to do a lot of serious work this month so February could be even more magical....:D...Yup, that's about it...:D

The thing with UST is "It's one thing to pass and another to stay"
That has been the tag for years. In case you don't know that, then you must have
insufficient information/facts to arrive to an opinion. Seriously, UST is a quality school.
I personally have taken that for granted while I am in UST and it is only now
that I am working and roaming around in the so called "real world" that I can
attest that UST is a quality school. "D

There are a lot of people, young ones, lately who are sour-graping for not passing
the USTET. As far as I have been informed and what I have deduced from those information,
UST is tightening the number of students that will enter the school.
They are reducing the number of students that will be coming in.

It came as a shock last year for the batchmates of my sisters that most of them
didn't pass the USTET. When all their high school life, they're pretty sure they'd pass
the exams. There is this tag in our high school that UST is the annex of our high school.
That's where most of us go when we finish high school. It's like a given.
But lo and behold, a lot of those students last year took that "given" for all it's worth
and didn't pass the USTET.

Anyway, there was a lot of sour-graping going on. There isn't a perfect university out there.
Try to keep the bashing low. So it won't backfire full blast on your faces. A friendly reminder from a Thomasian. :D

NGRRRRRRRR!

The good thing is 23.5 months left.
I know it is far too early to count it down but still it makes me feel better.
If God and I really hope God permits, that's the countdown.
Perks me up. Instantly. :D :D :D

* A few hours ago, I was thinking, I hope I'll never get to the point, where I would say, "All the stories have already been told. There's nothing new." Just like my father does. It is sad that nothing impresses him, story wise, anymore. Because I want to enjoy the movies and the books and the stories that would come my way. In old folklore or in contemporary and everything in between. And here I am, a few hours later thinking, My father is right, every story has already been told. :(. But I hope I'd perk up from that sad, sad state of thinking. :D

*I've been dying to say, "Cambodia = SOLD". I've wanted to sell the idea of going to Cambodia, for Siem Reap, for Angkor Wat and all the temples, to my mother. And to be honest, she had been contemplating about it. The problem is, it is a hassle to go from Thailand to Cambodia and then back to Thailand. :( . In short, pinaasa lang ako ng sirkumstansiya...:( and here I was getting my hopes so high because my mother was contemplating about doing cross-country. :( only to be let down by the circumstances. :(

* And I was even planning to sell Anawangin and the other islands of Zambales to my mother. Only, it would be a no-go for sure because of the hard way of getting to the islands. pfft! I really need to find people/friends/backpack buddies who'd be able to get away with me to these places. Willing, able, financially capable, good backpack buddies. :(

*Universe, for 2012, I want willing, able, financially capable, good backpack buddies. Please. Thanks!

* Good thing there's Jan 27, Feb 11 and Feb 12 to look forward to.

*Half of the first month of 2012 is already off and I haven't done anything out of my comfort zone or out of the ordinary. Gah! Double Gah! I know it's the busy season, but I am too stubborn to be beaten by the season. :P
I have to do something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"nice to come home to little sisters, who tell you literary stories albeit sometimes disturbing, recite poems for you with matching facial expressions, sing nursery rhymes with matching actions and present their drawings in semi-formal presentation style. :D

- I rarely post in Facebook, but that's what I posted last night. I love my sisters I really do. I love sharing a good laugh with them and hug them all the time. As in, annoyingly, all the time. They are my babies. :D But most of the time I call them the gremlins.


Here's a montage of their clever intros:


"Do you want me to present to you my drawings?"


'I'll present to you my drawings"


"Who wants to have a story telling time with me?"


"We have a new song for kitto (our pet name for Sarina)"


"We shall eat ze Lay's!"


"Can we eat your Cheetos?"


"If you have noticed, my Asian baby (refering to Shin Chan, the stuffed toy) is gone."


"Will you watch with me?"


"Can we have a Dr. Phil session?"




You'd think they are little girls in kindergarten but they are all in college now. But I am not complaining. I love and enjoy spending time with my uber smart and intelligent little ones. :D

People don't pay attention.
I am seriously forever amazed on how people don't know the names of their everyday people.
I mean, like classmates and office-mates. I for one, don't think that you have to be introduced first just so you'd know the name of your everyday people. That's just not paying attention. I could practically name everybody in this office without them being introduced to me (except for one, cause i've forgotten his name...:)) and i haven't heard him being called...:)) )

The truth is, I am being a bum right now. :)) I don't feel like doing work today and I am seriously falling in love with the word "Hodge Podge". It sums up all my interests and the thoughts inside my head. :D And I think I want to watch "Leap Year". and I still haven't gotten to watch "Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows". And I am seriously, seriously LAZY today.

*At chili's last thursday noon eating with my mother. Having glimpses of the tv, watching sports people. And suddenly, my train of thought ran "Those are the faces of passion. I hope to do something and be so passionate that it doesn't matter if it hurts." Then I looked at the crew of chili's  and thought "Those are the faces (albeit smiling) of labor. And apparently, right now, my face is that of labor. But I hope not for long."
