Sometimes, the best advices that you can get but you often ignore are from text messages. I've managed to save most of the messages that I get from friends: both the quotes and the silly jokes. They've filled my inbox to more than 500 (!!!!) and ate up the memory of my phone. People tell me that I should delete them but being the sentimental fool that I am, I still keep them. Sometimes I read them and laugh or fall in love with the cheesiest love quotes that have probably been forwarded to almost the entire filipino population.
Here are some of the most inspiring and cheesiest but "kilig" SMS that I've saved:
1. Sometimes, the best way to figure out who you are is to get to a place where you don't have to pretend and become someone else. The true YOU is always the best.
2. Love with all your heart and accept the unlovable side of others for anyone can love a rose but only a great heart can include the thorns.
3.Women are like apples on trees. the best ones are at the top. Men don't want to reach for the good ones becoz they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the grounds that arent good but easy. So the apples on top think something is wrong with them when in reality they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right one to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree
4. Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason. Know a good thing when you see it and dont let it slip away. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said that it would be easy, they just said it would be worth it.
5. Later on life, you'll learn the subtle difference between holding a hand & chaining a soul. You'll learn that love doesnt mean learning and company doesnt mean security. You begin to learn that kisses arent contracts and presents arent promises. You learn to build all your roads today coz tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans. After a while, you'll learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So plant your own garden & decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. You'll learn that you can endure; that you are strong and you have worth.
6. A pencilmaker told the pencils 5 important lessons. First, everything you do will always leave a mark. 2nd, you can always correct the mistakes you make. 3rd, what is important is what's inside you. 4th, in life you will undergo painful sharpenings which will make you a better pencil... and 5th, always find hope if the person that owns you lost you for some reason that you will still be found no matter what.
7. There was a man who saw a scorpion floundering around in the water. He decided to save it by stretching out his finger but the scorpion stung him. The man still tried to get the scorpion out of the water but the scorpion stung him again. Another man nearby told him to stop saving the scorpion but the man said: "It's the nature of the scorpion to sting, it is my nature to love. Why should I give up my nature to love just becoz it's the nature of the scorpion to sting?" Dont give up loving, dont give up your goodness, even if the people around you stings.
8. When you're in love, you know it's true when there's no middle ground, no maybes, no ifs, no buts, no still need to figure things out. Love grabs you and wraps its arms around you and you helplessly urrender. Yes, love makes us take a lot of risks, but love is worth every tear, every laugh and every sleepless night.
Yiheeee!! anubaitetch?!!
Okifadoki, that's all for now. I'm going to the ukay-ukay!! (^w^)>

I've read in a magazine advertisement of a drug that there are symptoms very similar to PMS that are very serious coz it may lead to some depression chuvaness.
Ngek! sana wag ako magkaganun! (0_o);;;;

My sis started drinking an herbal slimming medicine last month. I told her that it's dangerous coz it was featured on a local documentary show. She continued drinking it and even bought another can of the drug. Buti na lang she stopped using the medicine kc my Tita Norma (who's a doctor) told her that herbal drugs like the one she's been drinking are already banned in the States coz they contain Ephedrine. Nyah?!!!!
Quite scary coz it's addicting and it makes your heart beat faster and could worsen your risk of havng a heart attack.
----------------------------
Petix. yeshhhhhh.
I shouldn't be saying this...
baka maeklavoo. XD

I don't have pictures to post.
*Sigh*
My posts used to be picture-heavy.
ngayon, puro texts na lang.
I want to have a whole-body picture.
Yung top-view angle ang kuha, tas I'll photoshop the background.
I want a graffiti design for my background...yeah!
Sana if my sis is not busy, I'll play dress-up then pictorial na itow!!

Weekend was fun. I just stayed home (as usual!).
On Saturday, I learned from Renie that Dex, William, Andy and Angelo already left for Saudi. So, wala na siguro si Dex nung opening ng exhibit nila. My sister and I watched "The Simpsons" and laughed so hard..nyaha!
Yesterday (Sunday), all my relatives went to a private resort. We decided not to come coz we have so much laundry plus my Mom wanted to stay so she can rest. Catched the last 15 minutes premiere of "A Shark's Tale" on HBO. And! And! I have finally watched "Battle Royale"!!! though there are no subtitles coz it was shown on a Chinese cable channel MEGA. Owels, it's okei.. I like the movie anyway. Also watched "Yeogosaeng sijipgagi" for the third time. When I was in highschool, I got so addicted to Chinese movies. I've watched the "Happy Ghost" sequels so many times and I really enjoyed watching chinese commercials. In college, I stayed up all night on Saturdays watching korean movies and sitcoms on Arirang. I also got hooked on PopJam on NHK. I felt so sad that there's no one who's as interested in watching Japanese and Korean shows as I am. I even encouraged friends who have cable to watch "New Nonstop". I think I'm starting to love Korean and Japanese movies again. Maybe it just waned a little coz I got so busy with work that I don't even have enough time to watch whatever's on cable.

I am such a doofus! I accidentally deleted the customizations that I've added on my friendster profile! I had nosebleed trying to figure out the CSS chuvaness! Teh agony!!! It's a good thing that I always have a Notepad back-up for all my html and css. Now, I have to wait till I have dial-up card so I can access my account at home. Jeez, I've complicated my life just for nothing! Hah!! ambabaw ko talaga. (>.<)

Pansin ko nga, ganun nga.

I wish I have money to go to ukay-ukay. I miss shopping! I really want to go to SM Mall of Asia! I have a work but I don't have moolah. I'm even richer when I was still in highschool and college! How pathetic.

I was 5 years old when my grandfather died. Even in such a young age, I already know the meaning of death. Now that I'm 21, my Dad would always tell me that when my grandpa died, I asked my mom "Bakit namatay si lolo?". My mom answered "Kasi matanda na sya." I cried and told her "Ayoko nang tumanda." Now, I'm old enough to understand everything but I'm still afraid. There are times that I give up and say, "Just take me, okay!" but after a few hours, I regret saying those things. There are so many things in life that I still want to experience. There are so many places that I want to go to, so many people that I want to meet, so many things: dreams and ambitions that I want to achieve. I know that I will not always succeed but there's nothing wrong in trying and finding a way to correct my mistakes. The only problem is TIME... and ME. I don't know how long I'll get to live to accomplish all of these. Someone told me "Be ambitious, don't be contented of what you have now." Two people have told me lots of times "Girl, grasp the opportunity! Don't let it get away." I've heard so many good advices that I've put into waste. I don't know if it's cowardice or just plain ignorance. Maybe it's because I'm too vulnerable, too naive, or too scared to take a step forward. This is the main reason why I don't want to grow old; I'm not sure if I'm matured enough to do grown-up stuff, I'm afraid of the real world. Though it bothers me, I'm learning. This adult stuff is like an extension of school, only I don't have to worry about getting good grades. Maybe it's not so bad afterall.

Memories flooded my mind as I sat by the window inside the bus bound for Quiapo. I was awaken from my daydream when someone asked me "San po kayo?". I gave the man my money and continued watching the world outside the window. The images were a blur; it's as if the streets are moving, not the bus. I thought for a moment if that foreign word that I've said have affected my reality. Maybe. Blurting it, knowing its literal meaning but being rather ignorant of what it should feel is like an anvil from a 20-storey building dropped on my head. Must've been the effect of too much spacing out. Daydreams will always be daydreams. Just daydreams.
It's funny how a single word can mean so much.
---------------------
I'm building a world right now. A small world that contains only me and my thoughts. My headphones and Utada Hikaru's First Love are not enough to drown the sounds of an awful karaoke singer that I'm hearing in my background.

I've had terrible mood swings lately. It's weird. I don't think it's normal anymore to have some form of depression almost every month. Maybe, I'm going through a quarter life crisis... but I'm only twenty-one! I don't wanna go to some expert chuva just to know what's wrong with me. Somehow, blogging has helped me cope with my problem. It has become my outlet for venting my emotions although I'm still a little private with details/stuff that I should only keep to myelf (or on my real handwritten journal). Haaaay.... I'm such a freak.
------------------
story:
once, a crazy 'taong grasa' approached me even though there are so many people waiting at the bus stop.
He said "Di mo ba ako naaalala? Magkasama tayo dati... 300 thousand pesos!"
I walked away saying to myself "Why! Why Me!!!"
Well, I've thought about it and I noticed that compared to the other people waiting, I was the only one who's wearing a very colorful outfit.
Maybe deranged people love rainbow-y things...just like me.
Like minds. Hah!! (>.<)!!!!

x Unlimited texting with Hazel. Yey! update! update!
x When I got home, I saw a cute wire basket filled with lots of unsharpened pencils and an inch-thick notepad. It was for me!!! from Tita Norma. =D
x Karen got a cute yellow Diesel shirt.
x My mom has an LV wallet.
x My aunt is encouraging me to try/ study using her digicam.
x Dex is having a group exhibit on Saturday. Maybe I'll go... hope the Lufet lolas will be there, too.
x I've finally fixed my website!!! at last!!! after 9 months!!!
x I'm studying Corel Painter. I'm tired of doing vector images because I'm doing them now for work, not for fun. I'm trying manga-style drawing muna and see if I don't suck. ;p
x I want to have a deviantart account but I wish my friends would have one, too.
x After two years, ngayon ko lang nagugustuhan ung Super Duper Love ni Joss Stone.
x Carrie babysits Kikai's kids. The poor cat thought that they're her kittens.
x Georgia's kittens are so lazy! Unlike May's kittens, they'd rather stay and play in their basket than walk in the bedroom.
x The Da Vinci Code is showing in the cinemas today. Wish they'd given it a PG-13 rating so that my sister can watch it. The groups against the movie (religious, political, epals..etc.) must be happy to know that it was given an R18 rating because they believe that the movie is for an audience who'll not be easily brainwashed. They think that your mind is only mature if you're above 18 years old. It's a fiction for chrissakes! I've been to a Catholic School since kindergarten and reading the book never affected my belief. Don't they know that kids are much smarter now? They're more creative and very open to ideas. Well, that's just my opinion.

Nahuli si Woochie ng City Dog Pound. For the 2nd time. Ang kulit kc eh, lamyerda ng lamyerda. Ate Lee got so worried and decided to buy him a collar with a nametag and leash. His bullying days are over. Nyaha!!

They say that if you count every yellow car that you see and have reached a hundred, the first person of the opposite sex who will talk to you is your soulmate or the person that you're meant to be with... as in 'marriage.'
I fell for that crap when I was in college.
I have a GAY soulmate.
Uhummn. (0_o);

I'm craving for a hot cup of Chocolate Vita Quaker.
Too bad I forgot to bring my coffee mug. (T_T)
I hope it stops raining soon. It's pouring outside and I forgot my stupid umbrella. I wanna go home na and say Hi to my Tita Norma who just arrived last night from Trinidad & Tobago.
Yey!
And I wanna see our hyper kitties. Seeing them running around the house and stalking each other makes my day super happy. (^____^)v

We brought Carrie to the vet yesterday. She had a hard time giving birth (it took her more than 12 hours). The vet injected something that will help her contract but it didn't work so she went through a c-section operation. The vet removed her dead kitty and her uterus. She'll never be able to have kittens again but it's ok considering how dangerous it was for her. She's ok now... she's always hungry and seemed to have developed the 'spoiled brat complex'. hehe (^w^)

Ate Lee bought a new MP3 player and gave her old MP3 "Talamunding" to me and Karen.

The right side part of my head and my right eye always hurt. It's the fourth day that it's happened and I'm a little worried now. I hope it's not something serious. And I really hope that it won't affect my near-perfect eyesight.

haha!
I'm renting a computer outside.
poor me. nyeh. :p
it seems like the value of cellphone has shrunk down to almost nothing.
Well, that's just in my opinion.
It's supposed to help you communicate with people but the people that I'm texting seem to be too busy to even reply with a simple "Hi" or "How are ya?". I'm not going to be a hypocrite coz I'm not ashamed to admit it... I'm also just like them. But it's a little sad to know that I'm feeling like an outcast coz I don't know what's up with my friends and classmates that I haven't seen in a long time. There's the colored cellphone... you can MMS me or at least send me a little quote or two. It isn't time consuming. It'll only cost you a peso if you text me just once a month. I'll be contented to know that my worth in your heart is 1 peso... at least I'm worth something and I know that you remembered me. I have a point, noh? I can't keep pushing myself to believe that nothing's changed when at the back of my head, I know that everything's different now. Maybe, well, maybe it's because at some point we've matured and we want to experience things differently. Maybe some people want to have a fresh start. I am not one of them coz as you can see, I'm too stuck in the past. I dont want to think too far ahead. Not yet.

Yes, it's the time of the month again. My hormones are killing me and I'm having mood swings. If what I've written is offending, don't blame me. Blame my hormones.

We have 2 new boarders... 2 kittens that someone left outside our house. Now we are so sure that people already know that we have a cat orphanage. May's kids- Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke are big enough to eat solid foods. They're so funny! they're always running around the house, chasing the mop, chasing another cat's tail, biting our toes. They're so clever; they've learned how to climb a chair and the stairs. George's 3 still unnamed kittens can climb out of their basket. They're so cute, especially the lil' kitty with the moustache. Kikai's 3 orange kittens are also doin' fine. They're quite big for newlyborns. Maybe their eyes will start to open next week. We're a little worried for Carrie. Her tummy's so huge. I think she's already due this week but she still hasn't shown any signs of laboring. She gets tired easily and she doesn't like it whenever we try to feel/touch the babies in her tummy. She's always rolling on the floor. I really hope that she won't be needing a c-section operation, it's too dangerous for a small cat like her.

Lots of people I know would ditch their phone as soon as a new and 'cooler' phone model comes out in the market. Some asked me if I'd sell my phone just so I can buy a new and expensive model. I've always responded with a "No' cause I've grown so attached to my phone 'Fofono'. Fofono is my 'dream' phone two years ago. It's a 'dream' coz I was so sure back then that I would never have a chance to own it coz it's a luxury I could not afford. But thanks to my parents, dreams do come true. I was just joking when I told them that "it's the 3650 or nothing" when they asked me what I want. I went to see a Japanese cultural performance that day with my classmates. When I got home, I was so happy... so happy that I secretly cried when nobody's watching. Haha, those are zee memories eh?! Everything that I wanted in a phone is in Fofono: camera, video, colored screen, polytones. Maybe one day, Fofono will retire but if ever I decide to buy another phone, I will still use Fofono coz she's the phone of my dreams and the phone that I've waited for so long (and waited...and waited...and waited...) for my parents to buy since highschool. I love you Fofono <3
Nyahaha!!! XD

The entry that you see above is the result of utter boredom. We dont have Youtube and Friendster in the office anymore. We had to rent outside but it's kind of a waste of time and money coz the internet connection in the computer shop is super slow. But I think it's okay that they've blocked the access here since it isn't my job to be slacking off. It's a good thing din kc it is discipline na rin. Howkeeeeey.... I'll go home na.

There's a remake of the korean movie that I've always wanted to see entitled "Il Mare". The korean version stars Jeon ji-hyun (My Sassy Girl) as the leading lady. I've read a lot of good reviews about the movie and I really hope that the Hollywood version "The Lake House" starring Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves would do justice to the original movie. Well anyway, I can't judge it yet coz I haven't seen the original... but maybe I'll be a little biased coz I've always been inlove with korean movies... hehe XD

Dex texted me last Sunday about his exhibit at the Marikina Shoe Expo.
I haven't been into an exbihit for quite some time kaya I really want to go.
I hope the lolas will go, too. It'll be fun coz we'll be seeing a lot of our classmates- some we've last seen on our graduation day. I miss painting and I'm sure it'll be refreshing to see new works from other young artists.

Last week, I uploaded lots of videos on Photobucket.
Most of them are of the Lufets; some are classmates and clips from our graduation.
