In Between...

image from postsecret

I’m the girl in-between… barely breathing but happy to hold on. Relieved but scared. We got our grades for three of our subjects in law school and I’m very happy that I passed them all. Thank you, Lord. I know this is what I deserve, grades that are just enough to bring me to next semester. The agony of waiting is lethal. One more major subject and a couple of other minor ones, but I’m still praying. I cannot be totally happy… not at this time when a few are hurting. I wish I could be of more help, I wish there is something I can do to at least minimize the pain. This is one of those situations where I feel so helpless. I fear for myself, I fear for my friends and I fear for those who are waiting for me at the finish line, cheering with their expectant looks and sweet smiles. Hold on my friends, this too shall pass.

I spent my whole day waiting for my grades and I just would like to acknowledge those who made me smile today.

I think women do not lose interest in men… same as men do not lose interest in women. I think it's only an excuse for other things. That if a right man comes along, you'll throw that reason out the window…

okies, just want to wish you good luck on the coming semester
-Chei

-Jots (thank you for being the optimist on my day of pessimism; i promise to be the ever optimist for you)

hey, for all the pro bono wishers out there --you just have to pass
-Lee (this made my day..)

It's All Coming Back.

I cannot find it in my heart to leave my room. The last time i felt this way was that fateful day of my Math17 grade release. I'm freaggin' scared and as much as I would want to be the "Ever Optimist" that I am, I can't. If i fail now, I dunno what I would do. It's not really the idea of failing that's scaring me to death, it's the idea of disappointing the people who believe in me. My parents have been excessively supportive and I dont want them to think that I dont appreciate everything that they have given me. They've been very understanding and if there's anyone in this world that I will dedicate what little i have accomplished in my life, it will definitely be them.

They do not deserve to hear from me that I couldnt make it to next sem. They do not deserve to hear from me that I failed. They do not deserve to hear anything that is synonymous to being not good enough. I think they have sacrificed more than enough that they only deserve to hear how their hardwork paved off.

If I could just protect them from disappointment, frustration and grief.... I would. Please Lord, help me protect them. You have blessed me all my life, I'm just scared that this is the part where You will test my faith in You. I know I'm unworthy but please hold my hand, i feel so vulnerable.

Pakshet Kilig Moment

design by dre martinez, buy a cute shirt now, visit his site.. http://dremartinez.multiply.com

Parang matagal na nung huli akong kinilig. Hindi ung pademure na kilig, ito ung pakshet-kinikilg ako na klase ng kilig. Di un tipo na mapapangiti ka lang, mapapailing tapos wala na. Ito ung kakiligan na nakakaihi, nakakapagpapawis, nakakabaliw, nakaka-L...ambot ng tuhod. Ung kakiligan na alam mong may basehan. Un kakiligan na di galing sa pagpapantasya mo sa isang lalaki sa TV o sa pelikula.. ito un pagkakilig na nararamdaman mo pag inakbayan ka na sa sinehan, paghinawakan na ang kamay mo, pag hinahawi na un buhok sa mukha mo, pag inaalalayan ka sa laglalakad, un binibigyan ka ng bulaklak, un tinatanong ka kung-- kumain ka na, ano kinain mo, bakit ka kumain, may pambili ka pa ba ng pagkain, gusto mo ba sya kainin este gusto mo ba kumain kasama nya -, kapag pinapakilala ka na sa magulang, kapag hinahatid ka na sa bahay, kapag gumagawa na sya ng mga- tula, sulat, kanta, work of art, website - para sayo. Ito ung pagkakilig na nakakapagpabilis ng tibok ng puso mo. Ito un kilig na nakamamatay.

Nakamamatay pala e. Delikado. Pero gusto ko parin kiligin. Mabuti na mamatay sa kakiligan kesa mamatay sa depresyon diba? Minsan talaga kelangan natin makaramdam ng PKM. "pakshet kilig moments".

@#$^&%& sexual.

"Instead of straining to fit into a category, be it Metrosexual, Übersexual, or Gumamela (Self-Pollinating Organism), shouldn't one just try to be a man?"
-- Jessica Zafra, Twisted

Finally!! Thank you Miss Zafra. I am amazed at how these companies come up with labels to be able to reach out to their target market but what's more amusing is the fact that people readily accept these labels and consequently try to live up to the standards that come with it. The starstruck fan that I am commented,

"it's amazing how the "sexual" part stays. that says a lot about men. haha. i guess they come up with these labels because the MOST difficult part is to really be a MAN."

Nah, I'm not bitter or anything and i'm not even trying to fan the already big fire caused by gender discrimination but i think it's just so funny that "sexual" takes on a whole new meaning if separately taken into consideration. Men are really hard to find these days where @##^%sexuals rule. I'm not even talking about the "perfect man", I'm just thinking of the "typical-i-will-stand-by-my-decision" kinda man. It's just so sad.. but then again, it's also hard to find true WOMEN.

I shall end my entry with an excerpt from The Bald Man, a friend of mine, in his Peyups.com column entitled "Sino Nanaman Yang Dina-date mo Kuya?" which will in effect be a teaser to an entry i will write in the future...

"So I date women. Women who take risks, who are not afraid to go toe-to-toe with a stereo-typical male chauvinist who insists on being a gentleman in spite of current accepted attitudes towards treating women as equals. I insist on paying for my date. I insist on opening doors for her. I insist on driving and taking her home.."

Naks.

Let there be Grief

"Contrary to that popular belief, what I have come to realize is this: Grief is not the enemy, it's just Love's army. It is Love's way of telling you that it is still there, somewhere. It is the reminder. It is the signal that you live on, that you have truly Loved...When it comes to someone you love, you don't move on. You carry on."
-- Anj Danila, An Entry on Grief

It's a refreshing take on grief. I remember saying before that when i get hurt, i don't totally move on, i just carry with me the load of being hurt until i get numb. I, as a feeling person, try to live each day while grieving for things and people whom I can't be with anymore. It's true, for as long as you find it in your heart to grieve, it just makes you remember that you are still capable of loving. It's a nice thought to ponder on, I've always seen myself as someone uncapable of totally giving love but after realizing that each day, i feel pain.. then I am able to accept that i still can love. I am still loving, despite and inspite of the trade offs.

STARE

I dread the day that I have to utter my words of g'bye. I dread the day that I have to look at you in the eye and tell you that you did great but I have to leave. I dread the day that I will hold your hand and hug you for the last time. I dread the day that I will stop adoring you.

I dread the day that I have to break the mirror so i cannot see you- again.

My old self.

You're doin great but I need to be better.

Tsinelas parin.

You've been worried about someone you care for who's far away from you now, and you're pretty sure that they've been less than forthcoming with you. Well, that may be the case, but if you don't know all the details, let them slide. They may have been trying to protect you from something you really didn't need to know. Hang onto one of the traits your sign is famous for: patience. Remember, it can make or break a friendship.

"sus, kung signs ang pagbabasihan naten, baka mabaliw na tayo hindi pa ren naten mafigure out"

Animosity in Anonymity.

A few weeks ago, people panicked after Friendster came up with a feature that allows members to view those who checked their profiles out. I was one of those people who freaked out because of my stalking habits. Then they came up with the option to view profiles anonymously. I was happy about it. Until everyone went anonymous thus making the first feature pointless. I said to myself, this has got to stop. Friendster should encourage openness, they should come up with the condition that for one to be able to view those who viewed him, he should be willing to be viewed too.

Friendster didnt bring me down. They came up with the solution. Let go of your anonymity to gain the right to know who's viewing you.

There's nothing wrong with checking other people's profiles once in a while. It's the normal thing to do. Im stripping. I will be viewing the profiles and i will not be afraid to let 'em know. Naks. But the real reason is... i want to know who's viewing me. Nakakakilig kasi e. Kelangan ko lang kiligin. Mababaw ako e.

Napapailing na lang.

natatawa na lang ako sa lahat ng kamalasan natin.
di ako masyado naniniwala sa kapalaran o sa konsepto ng tadhana pero pag naiisip ko kung ilang beses na tayo pinaglaruan nito para di matuloy ang mga plano mo/ko/natin na maging magkasama, napapailing na lang ako.
siguro nga may ganun.
may mga bagay na maling-mali na kahit ang mga anghel sa langit ay gumagawa ng paraan para di matuloy.
napapailing na lang ako. di na kita hinabol kasi pag nahabol kita di ko rin alam kung may sasabihin pa ako.

----------
napapailing muli ako dahil ang aking quotable quote for today ay mula sa isang show na sosyal na sosyal... Ikaw ang Lahat sa Akin at sinambit ni Jeff Eigenmann nang nagpapaalam na sya kay Bea Alonzo.

"I've always wanted you to be in my fairy tales.. but i guess i'm just not your happy ending."

sisters got nothin to do

Walang Pamagat

I plan on getting wasted.
Like an angel transformed
into a monster howling
in silence; scaring you
away. I will be tipsy.
I'll just be tipsee.Thee-pissy.
Deep sea. Tip-synchronized.
Murmuring with my eyes
shut. Dreaming without
sleeping. Slipping..Waking
up with a throbbing head
heart - head - pounding.
I still plan on getting wasted.
Not drunk, not intoxicated.
Wasted.
