and you know how i know this? because: 1. it's fucking hot here in manila 2. it gets darker later than usual 3. it's just fucking hot 4. it's hot 5. ok again, it's fucking hot. (and yes, i know i'm repeating myself) 6. i want to go to the beach more badly than ever. i love the sun and all pero good Lord!!! it's been so hot lately that yesterday i had a headache the whole day because of the heat. and today? my energy was sapped just by getting dressed! i turn off my aircon and it's hot in my room in less than 10minutes. ohmigoodness. that aside tho, i love the fact that summer is here. and i love the fact that i have holidays lined up! wohoo!! :) hehe but well... can we turn down the heat just a little bit tho? :p haay.. people tlga, never satisfied. :) -==- i just realized that i'm spending holy week in jakarta! wohoo! this means open malls and normal life during that whole week. yay! :) bakasyon na!! tara na!!!

i'm not particularly proud of my alma mater at the moment. imagine firing someone because of his gender preference - turning a blind eye to the fact that he was doing good things for the school. sure, the bible says that there is no third sex. but this is the real world, they are people too and they deserve respect. how are we supposed to have a peaceful world if even a whole institution can't practice tolerance? damn you. nakakahiya. :p -==- i hate, hate, hate not getting along with my stomach. :p according to the doctor, i may have gastritis so i'm under medication and observation. there is a list of food that i must avoid. :p right now, my stomach actually feels ok (not painful like yesterday) but i feel like throwing up everything i ate at lunch. :p aarrggghhh.. i don't understand this!!! :p lunch must have been a mistake, gotta make a good dinner choice then. :p i want to get well na. -==- i think i'm slowly detaching myself, only going through the motions, onl...

we're old. no really. we are. how we're thinking now is a testament to it. our minds are filled with thoughts that we used to think we'll never have to think about. but no. this is it. we're at that age. ah, age. somehow, while you think it's just a number that increases every year, i've realized that when you're in your twenties - it's more than just that. it's amazing how in one decade - you can change things, find things that you hope will last your lifetime, make big choices and important commitments. in one decade, you are uncertain about the steps you take, but somehow, you are also damn sure about where you're going. contradicting? yeah. but that's the best way to describe it. i love this rollercoaster ride. i love the certainty i have with some things. i love planning things now, especially since it all seems so real now. when i make plans, it's not just a wait-and-see thing anymore. it all points to a direction that can be real s...

talking to sayang last night, he told me about this greek god that represents opportunity. being the geek that i am, i looked it up on the internet and found him: Caerus. he's actually very interesting. according to this website i looked at, Caerus brings about what is fit, convenient and right for the moment. he also represents the advantageous or favorable occasion. Just like the concept that he represents (Opportunity), he can appear and disappear quickly because of the wings on his feet and his scales balanced on a sharp edge - to show how occasions of opportunity are fleeting. He also has long flowing hair hanging over his face - which you can grab as soon as he arrives. but if he flies past you - and that he will do very quickly, you'll no longer have a chance because the back of his head is bald. Greek mythology is always damn interesting but i gotta admit i don't know much about it. If sayang hadn't mentioned him, I'd have never known about him. I like wh...

simple reasons why yesterday rocked: happiness reason no. 1: sayangku. enough said. happiness reason no. 2: what was once just a "similar story" has now gone better than ever. we're really happy for you guys. i know wala pang date and all, but still... rocks big time. i kind of knew you were gonna get there, and now that you're sort of there - am damn happy for you. :) happiness reason 3: last but definitely not least - my new toy! it's fuckin awesome. and when i don't feel so shy about it, i'll post a picture. the funny thing about my new toy was the way my dad gave it to me. he played this whole joke on me about it - pretending that the stock didn't arrive and that he was gonna get in jakarta na lang and how he was pissed because they just made him wait for it only for it not to be available. so when i got home from work, i went straight to him to ask him what happened and i'm following him around in his room when all of a sudden he points to the...

Just like Jen - i totally fell in love with: ... That I love you I have loved you all along And I miss you Been far away for far too long I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore I wanted I wanted you to stay 'Cause I needed I need to hear you say That I love you I have loved you all along And I forgive you For being away for far too long So keep breathing 'Cause I'm not leaving Hold on to me and, never let me go... -- Nickelback's Far Away I'm officially PSG today -- got this song in my head and while i can't show it (because i just can be arsed to smile today), i am really happy.

i signed two significant pieces of paper in the last two days. they basically mean the end of one thing and the start of the other. i'm off to see a new chapter, and i hope to God that it ends up being as good as it looks now. boo-hoo. i can't really quite explain how i'm feeling at the moment. i am truly torn. i'm extremely sad one minute, excited the next. it's actually quite tiring, being so emotionally indecisive. it's going to be hard saying bye and letting go of something that has become so familiar and constant. pero matagal pa yun... forget about it muna. i still have a load of work to get through anyway. haha! :)

eto na... kayanin mo. :)

friday end of day saw us at the verandah for anna's libreng birthday painom. gotta admit that i walked out of there pretty tipsy man! some highlights were: 1) julette's drama - at one point, her, anton and i ended up in the girl's bathroom talking about it and ending with me telling anton to get out of the bathroom because i had to pee. 2) julette's "ladders" - i caught the gist, didn't understand how the levels came to play but i answered the questions anyway. as if naman hindi obvious kung sino yung mapupunta sa lust ladder no. ahahahaha 3) julette's questions - asking ige if he was gay. getting interesting answers in reply. poor guy is all i say! 4) interesting pieces of information picked up 5) pictures, pictures! did i forget anything? add your own highlights na lang. hehe hella fun :) saturday highlights: - new bikini - beef stroganoff at jack's loft - visiting guia at her grandma's wake and talked, talked and talked. - sleeping! the ...

... things will never be the same :p the cliche is: change is the most constant thing in this world. three months into the year and a lot of things have happened. my life is totally different from what it once was. i've never felt more at home in my life. like it's truly mine. i think i read somewhere that this was the year that i was meant to be making decisions that will set the tone for the rest of my life. if that is true, then i hope like hell that i am making the right ones. although, i guess the happiness i'm feeling now is testament to being on the right track. at least, i'm fervently hoping that i am. it's interesting how something that wasn't part of your life before is now part of your consciousness. part of your thoughts. i've yet to see where this current thought in my mind will lead to. whatever the end of this is, i hope it's the right one for me. :) will be sad also though, that's for sure. :p

... and all my mind can think about now is... "hhmmm...." ehehehehe. :)

I. AM. BORED. OUT. OF. MY. FUCKING. MIND.

"you've bewitched me. body and soul. and i love, love, love you. i never want to be parted from you from this moment on." - (i may have paraphrased a bit from) Pride and Prejudice I totally loved the movie. So today, i'm going to go and finally get my own copy of the book and read it through for once. :) now i know why guia loves this book. -==- Had a blast this weekend! :) except for a slight "deja-vu" event nung friday night, i had fun. It was such a contrast with the rest of the week here at work - for some reason i felt like there was a cloud hanging everywhere. :p could be just my imagination though. -==- it's another monday. another week to go through. good Lord. I hope it goes by fast. sigh.

Let's Stay Together Al Green I, I'm so in love with you Whatever you want to do Is all right with me 'Cause you make me feel so brand new And I want to spend my life with you Since, since we've been together Loving you forever Is what I need Let me be the one you come running to I'll never be untrue Let's, let's stay together Lovin' you whether, whether Times are good or bad, happy or sad Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad Why, why some people break up Then turn around and make up I just can't see You'd never do that to me (would you, baby) Staying around you is all I see(Here's what I want us to do) Let's, we oughta stay together Loving you whether, whether Times are good or bad, happy or sad -==- currently trippin' on this song. :) nice kasi eh.

"nobody has to know the pleasure that you take in every step you make" - from 'we give in sometimes' by Up dharma Down there's a certain satisfaction and pleasure that comes in every step that you make towards the thing that you want. it may be weird to some people or illogical, but you don't need to explain that to them. as the song says, no one really needs to know. unless they think like you, in which case, they'll understand completely. someone commented in anton's blog that we should learn to sacrifice the things what we want because it will help us to discipline ourselves and and it teaches us to be unselfish in the long run. if we are to talk about sacrifice - going for what you want entails a lot of sacrifice. there are some things you need to give yourself, no matter how hard, by going for what you want. by doing that, you'll also be giving up something - whether it be as simple as cutting back on your monthly spending or has hard and comp...

it's not a good day. i don't know how i can say that because up until this very minute, absolutely nothing has happened and yet... i somehow kind of feel that it isn't a good day. or, it can be a perfectly good day - i'm not just in the best mood. that's most probably it. i have no idea what's wrong with me. i just want to curl up under my covers and sleep it all away. i hope the day picks up soon. i hope i'm done with this weird-assed feeling soon. -==- i just realized that it has now been exactly a year since i last went home. and i remember that i used to say that going home was a lot like recharging my batteries. so it's been exactly a year since i last recharged. maybe that's the whole reason why i'm so bored, restless and well, out of it. i want to go home. i need to go home. i miss jakarta. i'm all homesick all of a sudden.
