Walk Down Memory Lane.
An Inescapable Fact

Gee, I just mentioned yesterday that I will be on hiatus.
And now I'm back. WTF. :))
I just can't stand a day without getting online. And not hearing my hands press the keyboard. I'm so attuned to it. Maybe there's a glitch in my brain.
Today I started reading The Host that I borrowed from Joey. It's so long and I wish I will be able to finish it before classes. Because then, I won't have enough time. I also doubt if I could fulfill my target reads at the side. I might buy them but who knows when I get the time to read them all?
Anyway. The Host is good but obviously I prefer Twilight Series for the very simple reason that there is no Edward Cullen. You see, I'm obsessed! It's a good read too, and I'm looking forward to Stephenie Meyer's works in the future. I'm a fan. :)
Goody, I already finished the advertisements I was assigned to make. I've been putting it off for days but I realized that cramming is never a good thing. Kudos to my thinking yesterday.
I also started my Short Story. With so many ideas on my head, I began writing 4 different introductions. Haha, my mind is on a strange high today.
So to sum it up, today was pretty productive. Thank God.
I'm off to reading.

I've been thinking much. I've come to realize many things. And I'm not going to put them here.
I was supposed to be book shopping today. But I could not bring myself. I'm not in the mood. Well, I was never these days.
It's one week `till classes. If I'm lucky, June 04 will never come.
And most importantly,
I'll be on HIATUS.
I'm not sure how long I will be.

Well, this post was already finished and was ready for posting a few hours ago but I was cut off by an error saying "This program is not responding..."
Ate bought a bookmark for me. Yey! I've been racking my whole room for bookmarks but they're nowhere to be found. I lost them all again. And now, I have a bookmark. You know, I'm more motivated to read if there is a cute bookmark attached to my book. She even bought a pizza too.
Anyway, David Cook is so cute in his Guitar Hero commercial. I'm watching it over and over again. Teehee, I'm addicted.
I saw a short film called "The Summerhouse." It looks good but gah, it isn't released yet. Here is the
trailer.
AND YEAH, ROBERT PATTINSON IS ONE OF THE MAIN CAST. He's the main reason why I'm excited. This isn't normal. Why do I have to suppress screaming my fangirl lungs out everytime I see Robert? XD

Bad omen.

There's nothing much to blog at all.
I just want to announce that I finished
The Book Thief. It's so good I didn't sleep for a day just to finish it. Only a few had that effect on me [including the Twilight Series which I really finished in 3 days without sleep, I kid you not]. I'm currently reading Middlesex, and I hope to get Virgin Suicides by Saturday.
American Idol Finals is today. Why, oh why does it have to be this night Cook chose to suck? I mean, not suck, but it wasn't as good as I expected it would be. And I have to admit, Archie's better. Gee, I'm getting a bad feeling that Archie's gonna win. What a silly premonition.
And poo, school's coming.
[EDIT]
DAVID COOK WON AMERICAN IDOL!
IT'S A CALL FOR CELEBRATION![/EDIT]

Taking Risks
Monday, May 19, 2008

"You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen."- By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept, Paulo Coelho
Because life comes with many unexpected twists and turns, zigs and zags, bangs and booms, we are afraid of taking risks. We never know what might happen. There is a little voice in the back of our minds saying "What if I failed?", "What if it didn't turn out good?" and a lot of other what-ifs.
Of course, we're all afraid of failures, rejection and disappointments. All of us dread to hear "You failed", "You're rejected", "I'm very disappointed with you". Like a lump in the throat, they're very hard to swallow.
As a result, we play safe. We don't take opportunities. We hinder ourselves from making our dreams come true. But what will happen to us if we keep on hiding on our own shells?
If our future is secured, if we're all certain about things, we'd be spending our lives with days all the same - what happened yesterday will happen today. There are no surprises to be found, no treasures so seek and no dreams to fulfill. Life would be very, very stale. But since everything is possible, anything might happen. That's why there are miracles and wonders and explorations.
Risks.
A word pointing to wide horizons.
A word opening new doors.
A word with different outcomes.
My advice? Be brave. Take risks. Whatever the result may be, it's still worth the experience.

Probabilities.
Oh goody, I finally bought my own
The Book Thief and
Middlesex. Virgin Suicides is currently out of stock so I have to wait.
I went to The Block yesterday. It so happened that Piolo Pascual and Angel Locsin were having a mall tour [I'm not sure what's that for]. When I arrived, the show was about to start. After squeezing through the mass of people, finally, I had a breathe of fresh air. Then, lo and behold, P&A are making their entrance. Girls are screaming everywhere, pushing everyone out of the way and taking pictures. Sheer idiocy, I thought to myself, but then I banished the idea. I'm pretty sure I will be doing the same thing when I see my favorite celebs nearby. The statement does not apply to Daniel Radcliffe and Edward Cullen because I will hyperventilate which will not happen to the others.
Continuing the story.
Since I have no interest in P&A at all, I went to Fully Booked and I bought the Book Thief. Yiip! And then I was home.
Today, I picked-up my uniform, got my name plate and year patches and had my ID picture taken at school. I stopped by my Grandma's house on the way home, ate my lunch there and chatted with Nicole. And I ended up going to The Block again. Hypermart, National Bookstore. I went to Trinoma after, Powerbooks. I bought Middlesex. And of course, I was home again.
And of course, I read the books I bought. So far, I'm one-fourths The Book Thief. I haven't started Middlesex yet.
You may be now able to fathom the reason why I say I need a life.

Misadventures and Runway Torture.
Thursday, May 15, 2008
5:49 AM
I backed out on Runway. Since I already felt how excruciating it is to walk in heels for hours, I should know better. Modeling is not one of my priorities, mind you. So maybe, it's just as waste of money again.
I was appalled at how generous my older brother is getting these days. I thought he was spendthrift but boy, he really isn't. I was teasing him to give me money and he did. :))
* Start of Conversation*
Kuya: How much do you need?
Me: 3,000
Kuya: Okay.
* He hands me the money *Kuya: I was even planning to give you 5, if you asked for it.
Me: Oh. No thanks, I don't need that amount of moolah, just save it for yourself.
Kuya: Okay. Whatever you say.
*End of Conversation*
It's ostentatious. Really. And I'm somewhat jealous because I want to earn money myself. But since I couldn't yet, I have to depend.
And I'm still not happy.
I was planning to buy The Book Thief and The Virgin Suicides today. And I wasn't able to. Hopefully, by tomorrow, I could get my hands on it. I should've been pissed, but it's not like I can't get it next time, right?
And, what the hell, I thought the day was already over. But, Margaux called.
Margaux: Howdy! I heard you were taking Runway. [laughing]
Me: *instantly cursing Kat to the pits of Hell* Yes. And why are you laughing?
Margaux: Because I never thought you would do that. [still laughing]
Me: Well, I haven't done it pa. You see, I haven't been to the class
yet.
Margaux: Oh. You haven't? [suddenly in skeptical mode]
Me: You thought I was already in?
Margaux: Shiznit. I thought you were. [laughing]
Me: [laughing] That's what you get for listening to gossips.
Margaux: Excuse me?
Me: I suppose Kat was the one who told you.
Margaux: Hello? [laughing] You posted it on your blog, dear.
Me: Heavy sarcasm, my dear.
Margaux: Anyway, how did that idea came up?
Me: Irritation. I'm fed up with Kat always asking if I wanted to take Spanish one-oh-one so I told her I'm getting Runway.
Margaux: Haha, you silly fool. [laughing]
Me: Enough humor at my expense. I'm backing out anyway.
Margaux: [still laughing] See you at the Runway, friend!
I hung up on her while she was laughing. She sounded like a chihuahua having hiccups.
So maybe that is life. Or something like it.

New Blog.
Wednesday, May 14, 2008
10:21 PM
This is my 12456789th blog. Seriously, I can't remember how many blogs I've had because I change everytime a new name dawns on my brain. If ever I leave again, please bear with me!
This day was ugh. What a silly thing to assume, the day isn't over yet but since I don't have plans going out, I suppose nothing special will happen between me and my refrigerator door. Oh, the beauty of indoors, you could breathe easily not thinking about the hazards Mother Nature present. And no one will see you even if you fall flat on your face.
Anyway, as I was saying, this day was ugh. I've been doing these all day; eating, talking, surfing the net, watching the trashy TV, writing my short story, finishing my submissions... and reading, of course. It may sound fun to do but not really, especially if you're doing that for a week.
And I was surprised at what my friend, Cel, recommended me to read: How to Walk in High Heels by Camilla Morton. As far as I could remember, I haven't talked to anyone about my plans on taking Runway except for Kat. Couldn't she, at some time, halt from unleashing gossips and refrain from pretending to be the Gossip Girl Philippine version? Or maybe,
just maybe, kismet happened.
The cause didn't matter. I'm wondering how will people react.
