Paradise Lost

it takes a lot to know what life is. and it pains me like hell when i know my dearest friends are sad. they don't have to tell me. i just know.

some people think that moving on is the worst thing that can ever happen in a person's life. they purposefully detach themselves from all they love just so they can say they give themselves importance and that they're cutting people slack.

i guess it's common that we pretend to be ecstatic when our hearts are screaming in bloodbath inside us. it's a technique we humans have learned to love because we want to project euphoric pretenses and numb the world of despair. i say it makes things harder for us. so, sometimes, it won't hurt if we all be a tad over-sincere.

distance has proved to maim hearts and generate heartache and solitude. it will be all up to us if we would go for the path which urges us to fight like crazy for underproduced sanity, or if we settle with undermined hopes and dreams and therefore make us bitter folks and unaccomplished retards. i hope my friend chooses to live and not be put down by her recent separation from her paradise. whatever happens, everyone will be here.

discombobulation seemingly establishes unbridled fury from the inhabitants that astound my existence. not bad. harharharÜ

before everything else crumbles to oblivion, i shall say so long to my unrestrained ramblings and go to class.

Equanimity Overload

"train comes, i don't know its destination... it's a one-way ticket to a MAJOR SITUATION."

i don't know why all of a sudden, things are starting to roll over on its good side. i'm not complaining, but i can't help asking my unsettlingly calm brain if this is a prelude to what's going to come.

i've studied too much foreshadowing to be pleasant about all this.

but i'll live first.Ü

complacent freaks surround my existence, and i laugh in their presence. funny, though, cz as soon as i bequeath this ordeal upon them, their sanctimonious smirks diminish and they crumble their behinds off to hell knows where. i soo love my life. it gives me a chance to give despicable people a taste of their own medicine.

birthday celebrations prove to be another haven of unforseen negative energy between adversaries. don't get me wrong, this usually happens in the most inconceivable of cases, but apparently, those cases suit last saturday evening. congratulations to cynical madness, resign to your fate.

last minute grocery-shopping is crucial to human life. and so, upon deciding to endure the continuous expulsion of dead skin cells by cruising the aisles of the earnest folly of grocery stores, clear your mind and relax. momentarily forsaken entities may be perceived lurking in the depths of stacked boxes and overstuffed shelves. think in advance, be a nonchalant princess to the world of shadows, and keep a funny story in your purse. that will surely let you ace the jackpot encounter.

i'm off. farewell to the land of dreams.

Bared, Unearthed, & Exposed

"nothing feels right anymore..."

conversations with depressed and longing friends makes it so much easier to relive moments of despair and extreme cases. and i'm not really sure i like it. options are thrown right in my face, and i am left giving them advice on all the stupid hullabaloo i previously got myself into.

i still can't understand why people can't get over themselves and just say how and what they really feel to another person. if pride is all we're considering here, then everything's useless. it just sucks that no one really super honest is left in this world. yes, we're all entitled to secrets, but too much is just too much. if the rest of humanity knows about your ordeal, then just let the person know already. you never know.

yes, certain friends may be alarmed with all i just said, but let them face it. it's going to be good for them anyways.

i can finally drive now. legally. yay! it's such a drag applying for that freakish TIN. and i'm not even working yet. oh well. this government is so annoying.

june 23rd. a few more weeks to go before joey's bash, and a little less than a month before sis'. coolness. at least the race with time is slightly postponed because of very helpful pre-preparations. i love what i do.Ü

i got a newsletter of this other org that wants to recruit me. i'm suddenly given rehearsal schedules, service schedules, and notifications on everything the group has to know. ohkaaay. call me dense, but... what exactly is going on?

hmmm...

i'm supposed to be resting for tomorrow. and some people are supposed to text me if they'll ditch me or not. haaaaaaaaay. i hope everything goes well.

i have another confession: i'm not really sure i'm cut out for the things i just got my sorry behind into. well, the judges will decide... but i am left paralyzed, and it stinks.

oh well.

i finally surrender

oh yes, multiply's larger-than-life journal tab gets the better of me and practically forces me out of my guts to write. oh well. although this will be super tasking, i think i can handle having 3 blogs anyway. i hope.

i am stuck in a really really crappy state (of everything) now. i almost can' t think straight, i'm dead tired, and i can't sleep. so much for rest.

i have an early day tomorrow, the earliest weekday of every week, and all i can think of is how much i'm going to abuse my batteries starting 630 am. as much as i'd hate to start moving that early, i am left without a choice.

oh, the perks of phys. ed.

oh joy.

it's my friend's birthday today. and i feel bad i texted late, but... at least i remembered. and it just sucks that our exhausting schedules just won't give. we're all going to be stuck in our schools with practically nothing else to do but stare at the wonderful professors that grace our individual momentary existence. the things people do to have a good life (i actually am not complaining, but sometimes, you have to get tired of your routine).

squeezy talk and jealous sisters. SOOO much of that on the loose these days.

so, okay, i'm about to see the squeezy people again friday night. i'm seeing a lot of squeeziness, a lot of new stories, a whole lot of arguments, and soooo much more. i hope there won't be any drastic changes and desperate measures, or else i'm gonna freak.

in all the places, in all the sites, in all the web. i had to get sucked into multiply. :p

did i miss something?

all of a sudden, shocking truths and/or revelations are slowly unfolding right in front of me. for many unknown reasons, they show me all their gravity and grandeur all at the same time. it's not at all super freaky, just semi-shocking.

news of school are kind of getting out of hand. a lot of people are talking crap about everything. oh, whatever.

i am about to embark on a highly-fussy (more like highly-annoying) night regime. if only that dermatologist cared. ah, grr. just follow, i tell myself. but still... argh. oh, what the hell. i better stop complaining and shut my trap if i want to keep my skull intact.

i hope things turn out fine tomorrow, and i hope i get things straight with people.

okay, i'm clearly not making sense anymore, so off to dreamland i go.

torn once again

the guardians of my mind are at war again.

i don't know if i really want school to start already. of course, it would be another year. of mixed feelings and experiences all at once. but if truth be told, half of me wants to go, and half is begging for a REAL vacation.

i suck.

there's one thing i hate about the start of this schoolyear. my mom's leaving again in a few days and she'll be gone for a few weeks. darned business trips. and she won't be here on father's day... awww... i feel for my dad. :'(

most of what transpired yesterday were very disturbing. i hate that my cousin got really screwed and there were more family problems now that she'll have to deal with, i hate that my friends are having weird arguments again, and i hate that a lot of people i know are sooo sad now because of certain things. i don't know... am i bringing back the old jaimie too concerned of the miniscule details, or am i just stuck in a phase of oversensitivity now? i can never get this question answered.

my best friend among the family friends i have called me two days ago. i really missed her, and it feels so bad that we still won't get to see each other. after all, laguna is sooo not a ten-minute car ride from my house. but still. it sucks that her family's issues keep her from meeting with the rest of us who miss her. i hope she really gets to stay with us next year.

for some reason, i had more fun today with my parents than i normally do. and my mom's and my mutual quest for an iPod failed. oh well. better luck next time to us.Ü anyways, we were left to roam the mall together while my dad paid bills. okay, we were bad. hahaÜ well, we had so much fun cruising the aisles of watson's and consulting each other on better paraphernalia.Ü aside from the usual things i get, i got white rain's lavender and vanilla shampoo. i know talking about what shampoo i bought seems stupid, but i love it, because its greatness lies on the obvious fact that it combined two of my ultimate uberloved scents--doi, lavender and vanilla-- and i only saw it today. yipee!Ü

going back to the school related mush, i still don't know when we start classes. people say it's on the 16th, but it still doesn't convince me. the others say, 14, but i don't know about that either. oh well. at least i'm still going there on tuesday to meet my dear sis. either way, i get to know when i really should come to class.Ü

i see that keeping myself logged on will make my head ache more, so, goodbye happy world and i will see you soon. happy independence day.Ü

Adventure Central

although i feel i'm not really having a great week, there are some high points to the past few days anyway.

enrollment was okay, kind of hassle-less, but, generally, it went okay. the rest of the few days, however, have been spent at home, in potato-ey goodness, and in excellent terms with my now ubercomfy bedroom. i so don't know how i continue to do this, but a half-unexpected visitor knocked my head back to its place- the now-called diwata [more like -------, if you ask me. wah. :p]. the endless food trips and annoying stressball craze deemed too much for my peaceful soul. in less than half an hour, my kooky self has been resurrected and put to the test. i suddenly felt that cuz and cuzdear were with me. oh yes, tita baklush's presence made that ALL possible.

according to studies, horses cannot be shot with tranquilizers, because it makes them more unstable [hah! that's CSI for you, man!]. and since "ducks don't get wet," you're pretty sure that the whale shark is so humongous it can swallow loads of seawater along with nutrient-packed gourmet seafood [okay, that was, my bedspread, the national geographic channel, and the national geographic channel.].

who says adventures couldn't be educational?

let's see... luncheon meat. wafer sticks. candy. street treats: fishballs, isaw. seasoned spices meat pasta. crackers and seasoned ground beef. hearty meat pasta tossed in orange tomato sauce. pancakes with maple syrup. orange slush shake with crushed cacao krispies. barbecue chicken pita sandwich. a mcchicken sandwich. fries. cappuccino ice cream. a forty-eight hour menu.

oh, man. my adventures have got to stop.

tomorrow is a new day.

matters of the heart

it's been so long since i last wrote about anything concerning matters of the heart. oh well.

er... matters of the heart meaning, anything and everything concerning deepest feelings, yearnings, and whatever else. not just in the lovey aspect.

i have been enchanted, engaged, and engrossed in the craziest things this summer. they were super fun things, yes, but a lot just thought i was losing it. in all i've done these past months, i still feel unaccomplished. i think i really have to dwell on what i really want to do now.
