The Golden Rule

Do unto others what you want them to do unto you.

However, do not assume that they'd do just the same... for a golden follower does not expect anything in return.

My faith is still in You, oh Lord. Worry not.

Watch Me Shine - Vanessa Carlton

I'm not your average type of girl
I'm gonna show the world
The strength in me that sometimes they can't see
I'm about to switch my style
And soon things may get wild
But I will prove that I can conquer anything

So from my head to toe
I'm taking full control
I 'll make it on my own this time
(Better watch me shine)

Better watch out
Going for the knockout
And I won't stop til I'm on top now
Not gonna give up until I get what's mine
Better check that I'm about to upset
And I'm hot now so you better step back
I'm taking over so watch me shine
Oh oh oh

So get ready here I come
Until the job is done
No time to waste
There's nothing stopping me
Oh
But you don't hear me though
So now it's time to show
And prove I'm gonna be the best I can be

So from my head to toe
My mind body and soul
I'm taking full control
This time
(So watch me shine)

Better watch out
Going for the knockout
And I won't stop til I'm on top now
Not gonna give up until I get what's mine
Better check that I'm about to upset
And I'm hot now so you better step back
I'm taking over so watch me shine

Oooo oh ya ya (Oh ya ya)

Bet you don't think I can take it
But my mind and body are strong
Bet you don't think I can make it
It won't take long
Bet you don't think I can take it
But my mind and body are strong
Bet you don't think I can make it
It won't take long

Job Hunt #4

i've been on a mission.. trying to fit myself in to the "Real World". strutting myself to unknown streets, in heels (i'll be missing my sneaks!), hitching myself to trains that seemed to pack people inside, and squeeze yourself out before the light starts to blink and the sound goes 'beep! beep! beep! beep!'. (i almost got myself trapped, got those people pushing me back to the train!)

oh well. i'm truly lucky enough to be unfortunately, UNEMPLOYED. harharhar. seemingly, or true enough (better!), the sound of bitterness came out inherently. bahahaha. for so long, i've caught myself miserably dumbfounded, pitying myself (like, still got your brain intact? let it come out, you rusty mass of a balloon vessel!) and dumped with all frustrations that i can get. aauugghh. i've been thinking that maybe i really am not meant for this. maybe there are other plans ahead, and that i should keep my faith.. there's still more in stored. more to life.

WAIT AND HOPE. and oh, patience is indeed a virtue.

x's: i'm stuck with stupid logic problems which make me even 'stupider' (quoting from Jack Frost!) not to even answer one! to cats, and blue-eyed people, and alphabet that seem to have values of their own. dammit.

Second Place

just when you thought you were about to win, you just lost it.

i was sitting in our not-so-comfortable couch watching Olympics.. event was a marathon thing. i don't know how many meters that dash was but it was short. the world record was barely 10 seconds. so that waso one real quick run. the yellow shirt wearing guy was leading for 5 secs, but 2 or 3 seconds later... uhh, well, unfortunately, he didn't step into the line first.

i have been living the quarter of my life (80 years is quite long enough. i should be ready to leave by then) and i have yet to add another year of existence in two months time.i had been in a journey. it wasn't a pilgrimage or an odyssey. and it wasn't that long ago. i haven't had adventures or brand-spanking-new experience to be proud of. but to the very few encounters that i had, i have to say that i always end up almost winning. that was it. ALMOST. JUST QUITE. but never. i had never won the battle.

but then again, i guess i didn't lose after all. i've just realized it's not about winning. with whatever level that is. the thing here is that you have set your aims at high.. that you have come this far. DAYM, i know that nothing beats winning the gold. but whatever it takes, always look at the brighter side of it. you have gone this far. never expect what will happen, but let the battle consume you and taste the dash to winning.

-- Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.

Hey Love - Jason Mraz

Hey love, where you going to?
You're not sleeping anymore, you're just trying to.
Stay love, where you running to?
Awful happens all the time, don't let it kill you.

Easily with me I feel as fast as I can see...
Afraid of the horror stories I fall down on my knees.

Come away, come away.
From all these things unheard
If a chosen word has got you cornered
Then it's a lesson learned
Like close the book before it burns you.
Come away, come away.
From all these things unseen
At the price you paid I promise you won't believe anything they say
Belief will only disappoint you

In case you never noticed the path you never chose has chosen you.
Afraid to face and break it.
The secret

Welcome Back to Earth

It's been a week.. of slacking off. Teehee. What a great relief. It's been three months since I've last watched a movie (Day After Tomorrow), had a good book to read (The Notebook), been to the dentist (yeck!), bought something for myself, and written "something". like using a pen and scribbled something down in paper (yeah like my diary). But now, i have been reviving myself from that deep nightmare and start to wake my senses from slumber. I am alive!

I've watched a movie last Friday. The village. Well, it wasn't that great though to mark the resurrection of my movie life. just shocked me for three (3) times! It was suspense to make your heart beat faster everytime the camera turns close-up to the character. (yeah, you know something freaky will happen). Thanks to She for letting me keep in touch with MR. Silverscreen again;) I still have to watch Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind though.=b that's one thing i'm keeping in my diary. I have finished reading Eleven Minutes, which really, really really, is a great book. Maria's diary and the pursuit of her dream, which wasn't how she would have wanted it to be.. amazingly, it had brought me "light" despite her melodramatic and lonesome life. The ending really moved me and like, kept me awed for a moment. Anyway, I'll be talking about her soon. (Be grabbing myself a copy of it. But not until I get more funds to feed myself with that luxury) I've watched two movies at Anna's laptop, Cheaper by the Dozen and Ella Enchanted, which both turned to be hysterically funny. :D

I'm planning to visit my loving dentist this week. (dreadfully wishing my braces be pulled off my teeth the soonest!) About to end the extended procrastination of reading The Da Vinci Code. And, oh, i still have pending things to do before "college life" wraps up in a week...

Somebody to Love - Anne Hathaway

i liked Ella Enchanted. i got myself cracking up the whole time! it was great. ;) Anne Hathaway looked better with her hair reaching down to her hips. the guy wasn't that good looking though... awww.

Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Each morning I get up I die a little
Can't barely stand on my feet.
Take a look in the mirror
And I, see what you're doing to me.
I've spent all my years believing in you,
but I just can't get no relief.
Won't somebody, somebody, can anybody find me, somebody to love.

Got no feel I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
I'm okay I'm alright
It shows that there's no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
One day I'm gonna be free
Lord somebody
Somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love

(She works hard) EverydayI try and I try and I try
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm going crazy
They say I got a lot of wonder in my brain
Got no common sense
I've got nobody left to believe

(Find her somebody to love x6)
(Can anybody find me)

Somebody To Love

Never exercise frugality on Investments!

ironically, due to my extreme exercise to frugality, i have resorted myself, involuntarily, to spend more than what is expected.

we went to powerbooks since it was "SALE" but was still hoping that i could get a book below P300. lucky i was, there wasn't. thru glorietta, we've been to a book sale and blinding light came shining for a "cheap" book... found some interesting and great catch novels. silence of the lambs and hannibal. two of thomas harris' great pieces. missing was red dragon though. anyway, to utmost surprise of having a bargain, i grabbed those two hastily.. with first glance on prices -- Silence at P55 and Hannibal at P20.. again? Hannibal at P20? that sure was ultimate deal! happy and excited as i was when i got to the cashier, buday noticed that the receipt has been scribbled with P175! wtf? that supposedly-twenty-peso-worth-of-a-book was a hundred more!!! daym that S-A-L-E green marks almost concealing that hundreds place worth! blushing into deep humiliation, i was forced to take out another bill from my oh-so-harassed wallet of mine leaving it with enough funds to take me home. what did i do to the books? i gave them both to buday and served as a gift for her august22 birthday. i'll be frustrated reading those anyway. harhar. but i will someday.. after she finishes them both. afterall, i still have two pending to relish. *sweet-lemoning* and oh, she promised me she'll buy me the "Shopaholic".. hehe. assuring me of that feel-good-book:) i'm looking forward to it. and looking forward to someone else giving me the sequel book. manhattan or sister that is?

lesson learned... go figure.

that's why they're called "investments".

crowning glory of nuisance

had a bad hair day?

i haven't been blessed with the oh-so-lovely-shiny-jet-black hair... that follows to every move. (singing to that tune..) even during my infancy, through my toddler years, i haven't got straight strands.. like what my psych prof told me during a discussion when we're asked to bring pictures when we were kids, he called my hair as Ben Wallace's.. and reinstating it by calling me 'cute' to compensate that understatement (bletch!). during my gradeschool, i had curls that looked like those of swiss milkmaids. it wasn't that awful (or maybe it was), but it wasn't great either.

as i stare at the mirror yesterday, sitting in that chair that was supposedly built to treat you and pamper you for a moment, i look at myself being sordidly combed through my not-so-manageable hair, and blew with hot air to dry after a relaxing shampoo over the sink. *one of my natural high's, having my hair nursed and caressed by combing it through. (i love it when somebody sweetly brushes through my hair.. sacred that is. hehe) after about 10 minutes of pampering, voila! how i wished my hair was always treated that way. but i don't have the luxury to do that. no time, and i am lazy to tend it ;) but i loved it then. i wished it stayed for a lifetime.. haaay.

anyway, to my big frustration of having it stayed that great (at least i thought it was!), i went to the salon today to have it cut. (btw, i had the license to haircut since we're finally over thesis) but, again (as always), i found myself regretable about having it chopped (like grass, it was too parched and dreary! like dessicated coconut). i am no bush, but a hairy button mushroom sprout. hahaha. oh well, i cannot do anything about this anymore. i can yak the whole night, and blame that lady-scissorhands for having me look like a capped- fungus. oh well, i just have to wait for two more months to regrow... but now i promise to give myself that simple luxury of having a better crown to glory... to win someone's heart? haha. naaah. i'll be winning it for myself.

Bittersweet dilemma of Goodbye

the news has been delayed for one day. we have survived.. the long and winding and tiring road.. it marks the end.. of the excruciating pain.. of all patience and perseverance and hope all wrung from our restless bodies and worn-out spirits. and most importantly, it marks the end of the phase. just as what has been wished, will be moving on to another chapter.

but there's nothing to celebrate.. just yet? the feeling is absurd. my heart is filled with mixed emotions. i am happy yet sad. i am relieved but i am not just as fulfilled as i wanted to be. i am grateful that we have crossed the line but regretful that i have not yet done things i could and should have done. i am always on the contrary... with myself!

the overwhelming feeling has dwindled so soon. different emotions came shooting and firing on me. bringing me to another state where i found myself thinking so much about "the other" matters in my life. flying to another dimension where future lies. i don't know. maybe i just have resurrected the PARANOID side of me.. AGAIN. well, undoubtedly, it never died anyway. it was just there waiting to be triggered again.

i just have to revel on the glory of pain... it's always the bittersweet dilemma of MOVING ON.

goodbye? no such thing. say hello to tomorrow, for it is another day... no different from yesterday.

i have yet to believe that every person that comes in and out of our lives are bound to a special purpose. whatever the reason may be, whoever the person is, they will become a part of us... may be to make us or mar us. whichever it is, the reason is indubitably lucrative for our existence. the tangible connection of our lives may be broken, but the spirits will always keep their bond. with this, i believe that any one who has walked with me through the course of life may not take the journey with me still, but will always leave his footstep in my heart.
