I saw New Moon today with Gatch in G4. It's actually the 41st movie I've seen this year and, frankly, one of the lamest. A total snoozefest. This Twilight sequel still fails as a vampire and a love story. And I'm hating the fact that they sparkle in the sunlight more and more. I think the only good thing about this film is Dakota Fanning.

I give up on this saga. I'm probably not going to watch the next ones.

How does one define friendship? I don't know. I'm not an expert in friendship anyway.

And yet, despite of my lack of expertise in this particular field, I still have learned a few things or so.

Hmm..what I do know is that friendship is not something defined, it is done. Something like Philosophy. You only get to know it, by having an experience in it.

After a few years, I have learned that in order to know who your real friends are, you have to endure squabbles, petty fights, a lot of betrayals, (oh yes, those damn betrayals) you name it.

I have also learned that friendship is not defined by the time you spend with each other, but how you make time for each other and feeling each other's company is just timeless, where everything's a blur and you don't care about the world as long as your view of your friends is clear, and the rest is nothing to you. That's what a good time is. You walk, you talk, and you have fun. I believe it is something endless.

Okay.

Enough of that. No more mushy reflections. Haha

Last Thursday was the laziest day ever. For the first time, I, who is known to be at least physically present in class, invited three people to cut French with me. Ha! Bad girl Isah. Oh well. 

Maybe I just needed a break from it all. From everything.

Every once in a while, you have to come to a point that you have to break some rules. But I'll leave it to that day only. 

***

You know, I was diagnosing myself and I've realized something:

Fear leads to a lot of things. Hmm..it would start small, and then it would eat you up. Nah, I'm just exaggerating. But it does lead from one point to another, it's like an infection. Hahaha! Now I don't know what I'm blabbering about here.

Hmm, it begins with the fear of getting hurt.

and then it evolves (Lol evolve. Like a creature or Pokemon or something xD) into a bigger kind of fear. And then, that fear would in a way sum up one of your most-kept principles. And so what you do is the best thing to ignore and stop that fear, which is to come up with a reason.

Okay, okay enough. Seriously, I'm just blabbing and typing away for the sake of blogging.

I remember asking a friend how would somebody know that it's time to overcome a certain fear. I think she said something like being ready to meet a bigger kind of fear than what you feared at first.

Hmm, I don't exactly remember anymore. Haha

You know sometimes, I think we should embrace the "inner child" among us. I'm not saying that we should be childish, or immature, or any of that crap. But, what I'm saying is that we should view life in the way babies or children see it. To them, everything's simple. That the world is full of wonder. It's just that, from an adult's point of view, everything else is complicated no matter what.

Sometimes, we ignore the subtle hints that life brings us.

Okay, so maybe I'm being vague here and you probably think I escaped from the asylum or something, so I'll give an example.

There was a time when I was in Umbridge's house and I was observing my baby cousins. Adolf, who is age three was busy showing off his production number of Michael Jackson hits, while his baby sister, Azee, age one was dancing along his brother.

Azee was so busy dancing along with her brother, that she fell down. She cried of course, like any baby would . And then Yaya encouraged her and she laughed, smiled, then stood up--and danced again.

See? Sometimes we ignore the simplest things and yet we learn a lot from those small things.

What's  the point of my story?  The point of my story is that when things bring us down, there are people that encourage us, and then we laugh, we smile, and we stand up and move on.  Maybe that's what we should all do. To just go ahead.

Sure, from a child's point of view, there was pain, she got hurt when she fell down, but then, she found the courage to stand up again, and do her own thing.

Now, what I have observed was a simple story of hope, of pain, of fear, of moving on, a bit of life. Maybe you get to learn these things simply from story books that children read.

But the thing is, since we are all too "grown up" to pay attention to such "childish wonder," we ignore these supposedly precious lessons.

Yes, I admit, grown-ups could be stubborn too.

You know what, we should listen to children too. Just because we think we are too old, or that we know more doesn't mean that children don't know anything, when in fact they were the ones who first showed or , made us realize what we should be doing all along.

On a lighter note:

Lol. There was this thing in the village wherein a statue of Mama Mary was supposed to go from house to house, and I was really debating with my mom not to let the statue in because I'm not really the type of person that does rituals, novenas and the like.

Of course, I lost my battle.

I always lose, because to my Mom, it's like I badly need it as if she was having the devil's daughter in her family instead of a nice, perfect, religious daughter that she expects me to be.

My philosophies about faith is really something my religious Mom would never understand.

Ha! Oh well.

Anyway, so today was the day that the statue was supposed to be here.

I was ironing my school uniform, when I heard singing people that really brought the creeps in me. I was so creeped out that I started muttering , "Oh..holy shit. They're here. Shit. Shit. Shit." Why? because it was so creepy that it was like a cult song. Come on, why can't religious songs be happy? Or at least not a tad bit creepy?

Quickly, I turned off the iron, and ran as fast as I could upstairs and locked myself up in my room. Hahaha. Weird? Yeah, I know. It just gave me the creeps.

Donna once shared a story where they had the statue in their house, but then she didn't get to pray to it before it left and she got really sick. Yes, like it leaves a curse or something. Waay..too creepy.

Okay, don't get me wrong here, I won't completely ignore it. I'll just acknowledge its presence whenever I leave, at least to pay respect even if I don't do the rituals.

For now, I'll try my best not to get too freaked out on the statue.

"I'm through accepting limits
'cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!"

I think I'll try defying gravity. Gosh I love Kurt, go Glee! ;D

P.S. Hooraaahhh! I tried to make garlic parmesan potatoes awhile ago and it was a smash! Goodbye extra potatoes hee hee

P.S.s. I'm excited for my first plane ride, hopefully it's soon <3

Defying Gravity - Glee [ MUSIC ]

If there's one thing that I can be thankful about Mr. Nualan, that would be introducing me to J94G.

J94G...

• is The Creator's co-worker at her NORMAL occupation. Mr. Nualan has this habit of patrolling the floor to check on employees who dawdle at work and saw The Creator scribbling -- no, doodling... NO! sketching OMU characters on a blank sheet of paper which happened to be an important sheet of paper. Instead of a verbal warning, the Creator found herself facing J94G .
  
• has a lot of refreshingly great ideas using Photoshop, Dreamweaver, etc. which will rival [or overthrow] the one who used to reside in the Creator's heart. Right there and then, the Creator knew he'll be of great help with the revamping IF and ONLY IF he decided to help.
• used to work for Toei. [OMU Creator: why did you resign? waiiiii D":] J94G worked there as a tracer(?), lived like a vampire with Jap animators, learned techniques and got his hand veined because of the tracework he has to do...every single day...

He's going to help. He just borrowed my back-up copy in a CD and is on his way to transforming OMU to Culture Crash form. The Creator eagerly waits for the results. ^____^

Maybe some things are better left unsaid. I don't know.

and maybe some things are better left unheard as well.

Yesterday, I felt a bit relieved and yet I also felt regret, anxiousness, and all the paranoid stuff that I deal with every single day. Only yesterday was a bit different.

You know, the typical what ifs,  what have nots, it should've, I could have blah blah blah. But different. Just different.

Hmm...I'm not making any point here am I?

Haa~

Last night on the way home, I was (again) absorbed in my own thoughts. Ah, I have a lot of worries.

and so I wonder if what I've been thinking about has something to do with the following:

* trust or trust issues

* denial

* acceptance

* what I really want

Heavy stuff that I don't know if I should be dealing with those things already, or maybe it should take more time.

Hmm..

My head is starting to hurt again, so I guess I'll have to let these things pass first. For now. Maybe I'll do a self-diagnosis later on. Or maybe I'm thinking too much again. Damn it.

Haa~ I really don't know.

Hello everyone, I've come out from one of my successful hiatus (finally!). I haven't touched this blog for half-a-year. How are things here lately? It looks like everyone is dead... oh my ghulay...

Maintaining a blog is hard nowadays... well, for me of course. There are some people are comfortable doing it. They are gifted ones with the power of words and a bunch of ideas in my mind put together to form a great post, so great that everyone steals them and claims the stolen entries as theirs (okay, that's the sad part) but it doesn't stop most authors to make astounding entries.

With the proliferation of this so-called hype called Facebook, it made matters worse. I got to the point that I never responded to game requests because I'm too busy with my FarmVille, Mafia Wars and Vampire Wars. But after the great flood, thanks to Typhoon Ondoy, I got back to my senses that I should not dependent to those games.

So... what should I post? Posting for a nerdy introduction sounds bland.

Maybe I'll save my words for later, when the inspiration strikes...

Good day.

Five more days before Gatch and I celebrate our 6th year anniversary. Yey!

Last year we went to Baguio.  This year... Well, we don't know yet but Tagaytay is the most viable option. We're also considering Cebu and Bohol, but air fares are too expensive now. Hay nako, sinabihan ko na kasi siya dati na magbook na kami habang may promo ang Cebu Pacific eh!  Baguio is also an option, if it's recovered from the typhoons (has it?). He's coming over tomorrow so we can make plans.
