My Girls, My Boys

Today is Friends day. For some reason, I was able to talk to my best girl friends in this whole wide world. I miss them badly you know. Yes, we don't talk as much as we did when we were in high school but I am genuinely happy for knowing the simple fact that no matter what we do, no matter how long we don't see each other or we don't hear from each other, the bond still remains.

I miss my boys too, but this is not the time of the year yet. Maybe this coming sembreak, I'll see all of them. I got news about one of them though, and I am happy for him. Haha. His parents got him a brand new BMW topdown (for the sole reason that he's been studying daw! But aren't we really supposed to study, huh? huh?!) If I could remember right, his "supposedly old" car is relatively new at that! Haaay!

Bottomline, I am dying to see them again. Times like these. Big sigh. Smooches and hugs for you guys muna now. I'll see you soooon.

Time Is Nothing

Of course I know about time travelling, but I never realized how real it could be until I finished this book. I have been meaning to read this since summer but I only had my grip on it just a few weeks ago. Dear God, Audrey Niffenegger is awesome. What more can I say?

This is not just your ordinary love story, it is so genuine you wouldn't even think it's within reach. One moment you are tensed, wary that Henry might just disappear and the next, you're drenched with tears. Admittedly, I was carried away by it, I felt like I was Clare and Henry at the same time. I felt as if I was part of the story. I hoped for their joy. I hoped for love.

"Had we but world enough and time. ... I want you, here and now. Here and now."

The summary of Henry's love for Clare was summarized in a letter which was supposed to be read by Clare after his death.

"Clare, I want to tell you, again, I love you. Our love has been the thread through the labyrinth, the net under the high-wire walker, the only real thing in this strange life of mine that I could ever trust. Tonight I feel that my love for you has more density in this world than I do, myself: as though it could linger on after me and surround you, keep you, hold you. ... "

"... When I was young, I didn't understand, but now I know, how absence can be present, like a damaged nerve, like a dark bird."

"... I love you always. Time is nothing."

Time is nothing. Clare is strong, for always waiting for him. They say all people have a cross to bear, but in this book, you'll see Henry's is matchless. And when you place your heart into the story, when you truly immerse yourself in it, you'll be amazed and inspired by how love manages to make everything seem to be a lot more easier.

It's time well spent. I'll definitely wait for the movie.

Cheers, to love and life.

Euro Films Class Is Love

Senior Year's First Sem classes seem to be not so interesting for me. Thank God for the free elective, I at least got to choose a class I really want to be in.

Euro Films it is.

Every week, I am looking forward to Friday, not only because of the fact that that's the last day of schoolweek but because that is the day where I get to enjoy a subject. True enough, you've gotta save the best for last. My cool-school-Friday starts at 1030am with Philo. ( I was expecting this class to be fun actually, but no. I didn't get Sir Roy to be my prof because of my high, (not to mention, very very very high) random number. Lucky first batchers! Anyway, it ends with a 3-hour class that starts at 130pm with Euro Films.

For one, I find it amazing to be in my old parish priest's (Father Nick Cruz) class. I was about 5 when he still preaches in our village. It's quite cool to see him teach. He's cute and funny. :)

Yesterday, we watched a French Film entitled The Choir and admittedly, I cried again. Hehehe! It was my second time to cry in Euro Films class. I actualy tried my best to eliminate the weeping sound because I don't want my classmates to know how much of an emo I am when to think that the movie isn't even a tearjerker. Haha!

Oh well, that's how I am, baka masakit lang mata ko nun. :p

On Seeing Dripping Blood

I got off from class at 1:30 this afternoon. I was in a hurry to go home coz I have loads of stuff to do, mom's errands, personal duties. I rode an FX in Tandang Sora after five minutes of waiting under the ever-reliable gray umbrella that shed me from the scorching heat of the sun. As usual, my mind flew and thought things 'til I get to my next stop.

Out of nowhere, the Sulpicio disaster crossed my mind. I remembered seeing this lady in wild hysterics on TV who hasn't found her sister days after the ship had sunk and simultaneously remembered how I felt. I think I felt nothing. I dunno. And then I said to myself, maybe life's like that. Life goes on no matter how hard it has become for others. Then I sighed.

So went back to texting. Thought about my own life. Tried ironing out some of my impulsive plans.

I was so near my destination until one lady from my left asks the driver to pull-off.

Passenger: Manong, pwede po dito?
Driver: Oo, sige. Dahan dahan ah.

Well for a second I thought, yea good. Coz I was seated at the rightmost part of the vehicle. No more hassles.

Split second, I found myself seeing a man terribly lying down the road. He got up trying to get his motorcycle, with his right ear dripping with blood.

"Oh my God! Shit!" That was all I had to say, at first. Having seen the driver hesitant to get his ass off his smelly FX, I felt like I wanted to slap him hard. "Dalhin na sa hospital!!," I then insisted. My heart was jumping really hard as if I knew the man involved. If you still can't imagine how extreme the impact was, imagine this. The door couldn't be closed. No more. Lumipad yung mama.

That incident struck me hard that I said to myself, "I felt it." As if a part of me blames myself for also wanting the lady passenger to get off through the wrong door. As if he was a family member. As if I wanted to shout at the lady for being such an idiot! As if I wanted to blame the driver for allowing the passenger to get off through that stupid door.

It only took a split second. A split second, that was all it was.

So, She's A Beagle

Since I feel really overwhelmed about having Phoebe, I can't help but share funny stories about her to my friends. And they ask, what's her breed? And I usually replied with "with all honesty, I don't know." Hehe! Not until a while ago. I was seraching for a layout for one of my sites when I stumbled upon this cutesy one with a pup that look just like Phoebe, with the layout name: Beagle. :)

I called my dad for him to see the picture, and he said, "Serious? Hindi ba si Phoebe yan?" Hehehe!

So there, Phoebe, you're a Beagle indeed. :)

Phoebe, Phoebe, Phoebe.

This is all about you, baby. :)

My God, before I finally had Phoebe, my dad kept throwing "Pre-Pet-Test-Questions" at me as if there's no tomorrow. Examples of which would be: a. Are you willing to bathe her everyday? b. Are you willing to clean her poo/pee? c. Are you willing to feed her? d. Are you willing to take responsibility of her actions? And the list went on. We even got into fights because of this little angel. But it was all worth it.

Sleeping Phoebe. zzzZzZZzz..

Sleeping in the laundry. Nakataas pa yung ears. Haha! Ang haba na ng hair, papagroom na kitaaa! How dirty can your paws get, huh?!

Really have to watch her eat because she might switch foods with Kiara, our pet kitten. Haha!

Playing with Phoebe simply relieves me from stress. Haaaay.

I'm not really what you'd call an animal lover but with Phoebe, I realized, (quoting Patty Laurel) it was love at first sight.

So Long, But Yep! Still Here!

I have been really busy lately but a lot of stuff are still yet to be done. I do have my hands full right now but I'm happy, just exhausted at times. Andaming foregone opportunities to write here and I am medyo regretful because those were the times na I felt intensely happy or sad.

Recent happenings, I had my hair cut and colored again, yipeeee! I met a new stylist, a real fun dude, (dingga)!, I am meeting new friends because of my Orsem family, I am busy with RecWeek, (good Lord please let this end), I am preparing myself emotionally for my last year in college, I am gonna have a puppy (which Cielo kept naming Jamie and I kept telling her I already decided a name for her which is Phoebe, ((Cielo agreed with me kanina lang!)) I am gonne get her next week) and I have an online shop, Mineral Skin Treats where I am selling all-natural cosmetics you'll surely love. :)

I missed you, my pixiedust. I'll post pictures here soon. Hello JUNE 2008! Be great to me! :)
