you may say i'm a dreamer, but i'm noy the only one 8:38 AM
you may say i'm a dreamer, but i'm not the only one
*sigh* summer is ending and the rainy days are here. i'm back to wearing jackets instead of boleros and shrug. btw..school days are on next wednesday so basically i'm settling myself to 'student mode' by reading dekada 70 and the velveteen rabbit[such a funny story]. since there's no more review sessions or ballet classes to fill my schedule this week i opted to do blog hopping and friendster high-jacking to help ease my "loneliness". don't get me wrong. i am happy; but simply not in the sense of completely happy. get the difference? as cliche as what i am saying sounds, i can't help but wonder if maybe somethin' is missing. i envy those around me who looked blooming as ever since they finally found someone that can complete them even if it's only for the span of a month or two. they say prayer is the most powerful means of self preservation that relinquishes even the hardest stains in life that is why every night i sit on my bed and pray to the heavens that He can find someone that can "probably" complete me.
*my current fave song. an oldie by john lenon*
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

a pathetic whirlwind 2:02 AM
a whirlwind of self doubt and disclosed scrutiny
i cannot begin to fathom how my life is doing right now nor can I write a decent entry, full with wicked humor that had already been my trademark. everyone hates me right now. i feel as if they don't want me to exist at all. walls have ears. I can hear them whispering 'stay put and don't exist'. i can hear them talking as if I'm not there. home now doesn't feel like home; there are even times when silent tears just won't go away. they keep on flowing and being the 'stereotypical' me I refuse to let anyone hear. good thing i have a blog; a place where i can just flush out my frustrations. a palce of haven.
people want you to stay the same and never change. they all want to see you prim and proper; without the flashy underwear, long nails and everything that goes with the traditional package of a good girl gone wild. it's so hard to satify them; I try to please them with every inch of self respect in my body but at the end of the day it's me who suffers. it's me who cries.
there are those 'sometimes' when they keep on telling me "your not good enough", "ano ba yan!?", and so many more words that drives you to doubt every inch of your capablity to actually live.
nobody can tell when the fault line ends and I''ll begin again another whirlwind of self doubt but for now the tears had stopped and the self doubting had to be put off for another time. I feel better now. Afterall, you can't keep settling on the past, you have to move on. it's not an easy thing to do but you have to.
I feel better now [after writing a few words and helping my niece take her bath], but still, a wave of dark cloud haunts me and all I can do is beg the heavens to help me keep on living.

wicked endeavors are made to last 4:52 AM
every picture tells a story. a story of either tears or revelations.

black glasses and the not-so-ready louise

sepia<3

this is the effect of sore butts and upgraded coffee. i suggest that the next time you try a 14 hour trip NEVER ever make stop overs at gasoline-slash-coffee stations in SLEX.
*so what did u think my story revealed?

the long walk towards katipunan
i had spent the first and second week of the better half of my summer [which is may] outside the un-adulterated confines of the streets in katipunan. it was hectic at first since i'm not used to travelling at such far distance [all i've ever known are the five minute hops inside the car and a minute of travel time to get to stc]. waking up at six thirty in the morning and arriving home at exactly past "hapon" is a big leap from my usual laid-back routine. an irony it was that i get to leave home at 'dawn break' and arrive home nine hours later at 'sun down'. such a pretty sight.*sigh*. katipunan is a palce to behold. i've tried walking in taft [the infamous home of la salle] and it wasn't a pretty experience coz all you'll ever hear are the honking jeeps passing to ruin your favorite pair of jeans.
i mentioned in my previous entry that my circle of friends expanded from one to fifteen! thanks to the ever-handy tips from ikai. most of them are from angelicum hs; the thing that attracted me to them was the 'totoo' factor that they always bring inside the room. my lunch break is often with mon and mea at mcdonald[the branch in katipunan is uber! they even have those leather type seats! wala nun sa retiro!]haha. only two weeks to go then i'm home free! no more six thirty wake up calls, deprived breakfast, sun down arrivals, and tacky walks inside the ateneo campus; but of course if there was one thing that i will miss most with the whole review experience was the privilleged walks i do every afternoon along the long stretch of katipunan area while being engrossed with the many food chains that you'd never see in retiro.
summer '06<3!

<3.haha.
* it's four in the morning and my eyes are kinda dropy so i'll post the other pics tomorrow.<3

the long overdue first day entry 4:00 AM
second is way better than first
today was the second day of my review classes at LSC and so far it seems that the class room and 'us' became as cozy and warm like any other afternoon giglys. we had luch together[ii3] at kenny roger's today with patti and ikai even though their review classes were already over. nakakabaliw! ang saya-saya namin. it was as if we haven't seen each other's faces for ten years. i had the chance to bond with mea while waiting in line towards the food station and we talked about anything that was under the category of broken leags, operations, bitchy girls, heavy duty diets, and the mishap with the iced tea and coke.grabe! btw...thanks ikai for the advice with making friends! effective siya!haha! i tried it this afternoon then voila! my cirlce of friends turned from two to fifteen!haha. nothing can stop me from making new friends [even the freezing temperature of the aircon in our room=].
*aww..sayang nde ako nakapag take ng pics sa kenny! nxt time na lang.

companions for the day

the ultimate refresher!

the truth about self made diamonds 5:56 AM
the truth about self made diamonds
went to greenbelt today to pick up my reserved book since my brother is busy for the whole week. i wasn't really planning to go since i'm broke [living in quezon city where starbucks and figaro are only a tricycle away is hard*specially when its freakin hot during sunstroke season*] by spending all my saved up cash with really cold frosted drinks. i had to close my eyes while passing through stores since i really can't afford any of their items, but of course being the ever can't-go-home-without-anything-bought is so me i opted for the pinaka inexpensive department store in makati--Landmark. It was worth it. they've got a lot of those hard to find pieces at an excellent price. really cheap. we went home soon after since my feet are killing me even though i was wearing my favorite beaded flip flops.harhar. after dressing up for bedtime i started reading my book [the truth about diamonds]. i don't know if the book is categorized under chick lit since it deals with a lot of angsty portion nevertheless, i liked how the book portrays everything else. the words were not as deep as those of books found in the "classic section" nor is it as "provocatively sexy" used often by Candace Bushnell in her infamous novels which often portrays "new york city sexcapades". despite reading only a bit part of the novel[three chapters to be exact] i already made a pragmatic conclusion to everything else the author had pointed out. i have lots of diamonds in my life [don't take it literally]. each one of them holds a very special portion in my vanity case but of course not all of my diamonds are taken care of with equal attention. there are some who i never allow inside--i call them self made diamonds. the truth about self made diamonds is that they are the rusty ones--and they'll forever remain rusty. they'll never make it inside of my vanity case. not now, not ever. but the hard part is that no matter how self made these diamonds are or how powerful my conviction to not let them in they always make these weird tactics to get on my fluffy side and let me treat them like my real diamonds. it's a sickness that i really want to cure.ASAP.

building up my wardrobe 4:51 AM
building up my wardrobe
harhar.summer is ending. very close. although i miss being in school I still can't grasp the fact that my 10 am wake up call would soon end.harhar.well, anyway...aside from the gruesome fact that classes with me as a senior is fast approaching I decided late last night to start building up my wardrobe. my current fave are those laid back skinny jeans and flip flop mayhem that celebrities love to wear. i started scouting for vintage pieces in malls and one-of-a-kind markets around town. just now, i browse through style website and saw a lot of outfits i would really want to try on street runway. although, its gonna be hard scouting those pieces here in manila i'm not backing down on the challenge it might bring, besides i love putting up outfits [even though i don't usually wear them]. you might think im one of those ditzy blondes who you see in tv that loves designer label handbags but im not. that's one misconception about me. my clothes are not all designer brands. sure, i have one of those really expensive jeans, but those are investments [i own this one certain giordano jeans that cost me a lot but still, after five long years the jeans is still in top-shape]. i am not a label whore. i'm a bargain whore. i make sure that i balance my money for well deserved pieces. i'm a big sucker for bags and shoes so once i see a nice pair of golden flats or a flip flops that caught my eyes while strolling in the streets i had to have it that's why bags and shoes dominate my wardrobe. i have a special place in the house where all my shoes and bags belong, isolated from my clothes. army jackets and scarfs are my thing nowadays aside from my signature style of laid back flip flops.
*current favorites that I own: havainas flip flops, balenciaga classique handbag(don't ask where i got them=), skinny jeans and silver hoop earrings.
*maybe i'll consider being a stylist after all as a career.haha.
