Spontaneity Attack

After our Torts exam, everyone felt quite damaged and as much as we want to claim moral damages for the Mental Anguish, Physical Suffering, Serious Anxiety, Fright and Wounded Feelings that we suffered, we realized that there was an ASSUMPTION OF RISK on our part when we decided to go to law school.

There was nothing left for us to do but to have dinner at Grams and do what we do best… DRINK and BE MERRY. It was a successful one round, only because Krizna, Dema and Sev were gonna watch StarDust and Haze felt the urge to go home. So, Ces and I went to Starbucks for divine intervention. We didn’t get Divine Intervention, technically…. but we sort of got it when B.“Dy” Samantha texted Ces to tell her that they’re at Binalot with B.Ilards and Gerona, drinking. Ces went to the washroom and I got ready to leave. Quanny saw me packing my stuff so he innocently asked, “Are you leaving?” and I answered, being the drama queen that I am, “I don’t know… I don’t know what to do with my life!” [with facial expression and proper intonation] We were a table apart and the table between us was occupied by two women we don’t know. These two strangers looked at me with worry in their eyes and a subsequent funny look only to find out that I was just kidding. One of the strangers while sort of laughing said,.”I’m sorry… I can’t help but overhear.” Great, give it to me to find unique ways to humiliate myself.

Then Ces and I went straight to Binalot to drink and sort of freeload [at least on my part]. It started pretty innocent, we talked about the usual stuff including the alleged plan to go to Galera. A duo was performing and like any other day, Gerona and I were daring each other to sing. I told him, “If you sing, I’ll sing…” AND HE DID. So I DID TOO. Argh. The worse part? I actually sang three songs. Two in a row and another one a few minutes later. It was like I did half of the duo’s set. Haha, dyahe. Pero it was a liberating experience. So I owe Gerona a “thank you” wave for his undying support and encouragement. Woohoo! We also got to meet pala two of Sam’s friends. I think they actually told us their names but uhmm… I forget. Totally normal for a drunkard who just sat there and let the night take its course... kumbaga NORMAL and PROBABLE consequence, forseeable man o hindi.

So as a summary… I got drunk and sang. I thank you.

Aral na ulit!

Richard Fish:
"Let me tell you something. I didn't become a lawyer because I like the law; the law sucks. It's boring, but it can also be used as a weapon. You want to bankrupt somebody? Cost him everything he's worked for? Make his wife leave him, even make his kids cry? Yeah, we can do that."

Friendster Horoscope for October 17, 2007

Taurus (Apr 20 - May 20)

The Bottom Line
You can kiss goodbye to the deep issues of life today. It's time for some fun.

In Detail
Relationships are fluid -- people are moving in and out of the center of your life all the time, whether you realize it or not. This drifting phenomena is continuing with a troubled friend, who seems farther away than ever. Let them continue on their own path and value what they gave you. Ultimately, you are all individuals who need to take their own journey. Is there someone you've lost touch with who you miss? Get in touch with them today -- even if it's just to say a final goodbye.

Yebaah, luma-last goodbye talaga e no. haha.

I Don't Remember You Anymore

I can't remember you anymore,
I'm not left with your memories,
of your smile, of your laugh
nor of the way you walk when
you're walking with me. I don't
even know if you were with me. We
were never together. I go to seek
for our place but there was none. I look
at your gifts yet there was nothing. I have
pictures in pixels but somehow the folders
are all empty, or they seem to be empty.

I don't remember you anymore,
the absence of these tangibles don't
speak of ease, nor of simple non-
existence. It never is easier, an affirmation
of what used to be there. Slowly found its way
to melt into nothingness. But you're not nothing.
At some point you were everything and then you
were something. I see colors, i hear songs then I feel
you. I must be numb or dumb. But I know
and I feel and it was real.

I won't remember you anymore.
Did you smile? Did you laugh?
Was that "our" walk?
Where did "we" go?
Were "we" in the picture?
Do you remember?
Was there nothing to remember?
Was there something?
Do you find pleasure
from knowing...

I should not remember you anymore?
I used to, then I had to forget, or pretend
to forget. I did. Forget? No.
Remember? Maybe. What was left to remember
were the questions left unanswered, the emotions
left hanging from the window of uncertainties.

Still, I remember.
I choose not to.
I vow not to.

Learn From My Mistakes

It's been months but it still remians as one of the hottest topics that my friends bring up when we are given with the gift of time to reminisce. I must admit, it was and still is a good story. My friends almost always end up smiling and hopeful after the story is retold. It;s amazing gow it has affected a lot of people, now it has become a sort of standard on how to / not to act in similiar situations. My advice is simple, "Learn from my mistakes." Pain comes from unreserved optimism, it comes from blinded faith, it stems from going all out. Somehow, it reminds one to stop and be aware of the most important condieration, ONE'S Self. Pain becomes one's protection, after all, when you've been subjected to pain, nothing remains to be feared. More pain? You felt it, embraced and survived it... it could not stop you anymore. Every second is an opportunity to begin again, to write a different story or to rewrite what has already been written not to specificially change the ending but to start a whole new journey that hopefully will not end. One may choose to journey with the same characters or to find new protagonists and antagonists.

As for me, I choose to just live and ignore the irregularity of the circumstances. I must.

Asymptotic Relationships

This is all Chubs' fault, he just had to send that geeky math quote about how Math tells three of the saddest love stories, the tangent lines [who met once and never saw each other again], parallel lines [whose lives are the same but will never meet] and the asymptotes [who get closer and closer but will never EVER meet].

It's depressing, especially since I've had my share of asymptotic love stories. It makes me think why asymptotes can never meet, I mean, if they get closer and closer, it's but logical for them to meet right?

I guess it's one of life's mysteries, how two persons can be almost there and yet never really get there. Looking back and thinking of how I could've altered the whole thing makes me wish that I made the right decisions. I could've and would've wanted more. I don't know if my other asymptote did, but I could've and would've given more.

Everybody tells me that I shouldn't let these past asymptotes define me. But somehow they did, he did. That makes it a little more depressing and burdernsome.

Sana may chocolate ka kagabi Ona, nadepress nga ako. =P

Kinilig Ng Konti

Bago pa ako maunahan ni Haze magkwento, sa tingin ko may cute na MBA na actionable document.

Kasalanan nya, umupo sya sa harapan ko at tumanga sa Starbucks. As in "face to face nakakadistract position". At di pa natapos dun, habang nagkkwentuhan kami ni Haze para lang maitago ang pagtawa namin sa ka-weirdohan nya, nakatingin lang sya at nakangiti.

In fairness, cute.

Sana nasa Starbucks sya today.
