Weight A Minute!

It is year 2008. I welcomed the year sleeping,but with a big thud. That's my feet finding it's place on the floor. I've gained some weight. Obviuosly all my efforts to shed off some unnecessary luggage was in vain. Ahh and since holidays came I did the opposite and added extra weight. Everyone who saw me commented I somehow inflated.But I don't lame my self because these seasons are made for eating, for festivities. To all those who feel the same, don't feel too sorry. You did nothing wrong.

All That I've Got

The Used- probably one of the now famous bands.

As I was listening to their song I remembered a friend of mine and our "sweet" memories.
When we come to understand things, those things change...ahh nothing is permanent!
Not that I'm complaining, it is simply a comment, an opinion. After history becomes history I'm left only with memories of what had been. Memories which I wish I didn't have because it means that these are things of the past not of the present.

We exchanged smiles this morning and though how charming the situation might be it was sour inside. Call me hypocrite and plastic but I had to do what I did, I had to fake. This is in order to save myself from sheer embarassment for I know that I was really affected. Who wouldn't be? It had been quite a while since my friend and I met and we met at a very inconvenient time and place, at a charity program, with his gurl.

I must let go, (since there's no way of moving on)... it is in the sense of getting used to the pain, the discomfort, the agony of falling.

tagalog romance novels: a pre-research statement

It took me a whole afternoon to make up my mind on a topic for my research paper. It took me at least five hours to make a choice only to change and shift to another in just a minute. Until now I'm not sure if my decision was well meditated. I guess not. I decided to write about Tagalog-Romance novels, a litirature alien to me. I have never read this type of book in my life. I can see myself breaking down to tears near the end of the semester realizing I made a grave mistake. In retrospect I need to push through, I need to know about tagalog-romance novels.

Personally, (no offense, really) I think TRN (tagalog-romance novels) are cheap pieces of literature. I don't understand the addiction of my high school classmates to it. I have always assumed the story to go the same way as any other TRN out there. The plot is far-fetched and so monotonous. TRN are shallow for me. I am hardly entertained when my seatmates gush about the interactions between the antagonist and the protagonist. It's a waste of time for me when I can read meaningful and deep books which are much closer to reality or at least have a sense of humor.I may sound judgemantal and harsh to those who are avid fans but this is my preference.

However my disike, I am interested in finding and shedding some light to what good are there in TRN.

A Letter to the One thet God has Prepared for Me

I am wondering at this very minute if you are thinking of me, if like me, you are wondering what is taking us so long to find each other. Many times I thought i found you only to disillusioned by the fact that my wait has not yet ended. Iget up each morning hoping, dreaming, longing to meet you.
I am thinking of how we will meet, would it be as romantic as the movies? Or is it possible that I have known you all my life but we have yet to realize that we are meant for each othe? Oh how I wish you were right here now because you are the only person who who has the answers to all my questions.
Sometimes I ask myself if I have ever really known "love". I do not have the answer to that question either but I believe that, more often than not, we will never really know what love is until we find that right person... and since I have not found you yet, then maybe I do not really know what love is!

"Everyday, find out who you are and be that. Decide what comes first, and be that. Discover your strengths, and use them. Learn not to comete with others, becausae no one is in the contest of being you."

Shadows are too cliche today.Suicide notes are too dramatic and much more suicide.
The funny thing about us humans is that "we live as if we will never die and die as if we have never lived" we live our days as if we were not living at all. We don't realize the importance of time. We don't realize how big the oppurtunity we have in every minute passing.
What is in fear that we are addicted to it? Anxiety drives your day. It is often always too late that you see with eyes.
