gawa gawa meme (meeem dapat pero ME-me raw)

Share a memorable event of you and me and/or a random fact that you know that most people still don't know about me. hahaha. Hello peace. This is cntrvrsy!

3...2...1...go! haha

and they all fell down

modelesque
it's been only like, five days into 2009 and fragility is already rearing its ugly head.

grabe, so much has happened the past 2 weeks, i can't even begin to comprehend. for example, the moment i landed in manila, someone asked me if i felt really fragile. i was like, 'huh?' until it all made sense when somebody (or rather, many somebodies) thoughtfully explained the reason behind the question.

and then, nothing. i didn't really know how or why but i felt nothing, nothing at all. like a certain numbness was coursing through. whatever it was, and whatever the reason for it, i didn't really bother figuring it out. i liked feeling oblivious to pain. it certainly felt better than waking up in the middle of the night with your head throbbing like crazy.

yesterday, i couldn't sleep. it didn't really help that i couldn't stop picturing IT. it was kind of sinking in at that time. but it was a different kind so i guess that made it a bit better. bearable. don't ask me what it means, i don't understand it myself haha.

while having dessert, a friend of mine asked me if i would ever tell him. i almost said yes, maybe but then i remembered last year (march 11 to be exact) when i professed my undying devotion to this certain person. simply put, it wasn't pretty. athough it wasn't horrific either. it was just one of those 'ah ok' moments. to him, it didn't really matter that sometimes (maybe more often than i should) i stared a bit too long. we were still friends although eventually, our friendship took a hit and we finally had a falling out. sad, i know, but i digress. as i was saying, this friend wanted to know if i was gonna tell. after some careful pondering, i realized i don't want to compromise our friendship. well maybe i'll tell him on his deathbed or my deathbed, whichever comes first. haha bad joke. *knocks on wood*

anyway, i don't really mind now (thank god). what they do doesn't concern me anyway. wow, i think i just matured right before my eyes haha. joke. whatever, happy 2009 everyone! hahahaha XD

2009

modelesque
“May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.”
- Neil Gaiman

what the heck, everybody is doing it. hmm...



You are in a state of constant expectation and want interesting and exciting things to happen to you. But in fact, you are a 'Walter Mitty' at times - a dreamer - over-imaginative and often given to fantasy or day-dreaming. There is nothing wrong in 'dreaming' - how boring life would be if one just followed the doctrines of everyday life - but one must not continue leading a life of continuous fantasy. You need to face reality in spite of all its possible shortcomings.

Always anxious to accept the role of the leader, as indeed you often work well with people - but try to stay out of the limelight. You'd like a life of ease with no one to rock the boat and someone who understands you is so important in your life.

The way things are, you feel that you are stuck in a rut and there is not much you can do about it. You feel frustrated and inhibited but if you can find a way to let yourself go, you may find that things aren't quite so bad as perhaps you thought they were. One consolation is that since you are an extremely emotional individual, with the right person you may be able to release some of that frustration and tension with some mutual tender loving care.

It is said that we are all influenced by our environment and indeed you are no exception. It would seem at this time that even though you may be surrounded by people, you are experiencing an inner loneliness. Fortunately you are sufficiently strong minded to realise that life has a great deal to offer you and that you may miss your share of experiences if you fail to make the best use of every opportunity. You therefore pursue your objectives with a fierce intensity and are prepared to commit yourself deeply and readily. You believe that whatever you would like to do or think 'you can do' - you do! It is because of this attitude that you may be considered by others as arrogant and even conceited, but its fair to say that whatever it is that you really want out of life you will put your heart and soul into it and will not take 'NO' for an answer.

You are putting on a show - a facade. You are a master of demonstrating considerable charm in the hope that this can or will lead to better things. Deep down you are fearful that this may not work and that you may have to employ other strategies in order to realise all your ambitions.

wishlists

twilight

modelesque
about a year ago, a friend of mine asked me if i heard about a book entitled "twilight". i said no, since i haven't heard of it yet and asked what it was about. vampires, she said. so i instantly took a dislike to it, even if i haven't actually seen the book, much less read it. eventually, i conveniently forgot about that conversation, and along with it, the book itself. until a few months ago when vian, my french classmate, re-introduced me to twilight. anyway, to make the long story short, i started reading it and became a fan (but not in a harry potter fan way; that was different). and as they say, the rest is history. well except for new moon, with which i had an extremely difficult time reading because it was utterly superfluous and boring. but don't let that discourage you from reading haha.

anyway, i was just in greenbelt to watch the movie adaptation of the book. it was...hypnotic, to say the least. personally, i thought it was great, despite the mixed reviews it received (you simply can't argue with its 70 million dollar sales during day one). it wasn't better than the book, but of course, no movie can be better than the book it is based on. so i didn't expect that it would be. but it was still beautiful. and of course emmett (cullen) is so hot. ok, edward was too but i liked emmett more, both in the book and in the movie.

people who will watch it but haven't read twilight might be a little confused and might think that the movie is seriously lacking but that's what you get. some parts will be hard to comprehend but oh well. watch it still, even if its just to see a vampire love story or a vampire being decapitated.

i can't wait for new moon :)
