I took walks for 2 succeeding nights. Needed to take a breather. I'm glad I was able to do so, with nice friends handling me in the process.
Legally Blonde's hella funny. Cute a la Clueless & Never Been Kissed.
Although I could say this was more inspiring than the latter.
I lost on my first round of gin rummy after so many months of not playing, which usually isn't the case, since I love this card game very much, but oh, what the heck. I guess that's just how it is sometimes. Especially now when I'm really cracking up & losing it.
shadowkat & I are getting to talk more often now. Lynne, on the other hand, is nowhere to be found. Just when I need her the most, argh, tsk.
Anyway, I missed Kathz... & it's great talking to her again about certain things, like our friendship & anxieties about life & love. I hope in due time we'd get to open up to each other again just like before. One thing's for sure - I love her & nothing will change that. Sure, I'm getting to be pissed off at her antics more often than not lately, but I still care. She may not feel how much I do for her, but everything remains to be so. I just need my space for now, though. I really don't think I can hold on much longer.
Maybe another long introspective walk would do the trick. Then again, I don't know.
the point: you live in a comfortable home, don't have to eat shit to digest food, weigh considerably less than 360, and have friends that love and defend you. not to mention
the joys of being an omnivore... hehehehe. of course tapirs are tapirs and you are you... but i know u get the point. :)
That's what my wacky fellow scatterbrain cow_dung_boy have thought about tapirs VS humans. He did have a great point about it, hehe. Sometimes even seemingly insipid things in life end up brimming with much-needed yet often overlooked insights.
VIRTUAL INSANITY PART 2 - HOOK, LINE, & SINKER part 1
Here are excerpts from an e-mail from the DRND mailing list.
These lines hit me in the head with a loud BONK.
...Each person who enters our life has a unique lesson to teach us. And it is only through these lessons that we learn about life, people, relationships and God.
When someone lies to you it teaches you that things are not always as they seem. The truth is often far beneath the surface. Look beyond the masks people wear if you want to know their heart. And remove your own masks to let people know yours.
When someone breaks your heart it teaches you that loving someone does not always mean that person will love you back. But don't turn your back on love because when you find the right person, the joy that one person brings will make up for all the past hurts put together. Times ten.
When a loved one is unfaithful to you it teaches you that resisting temptation is Man's greatest challenge. Be vigilant in your resistance against all temptation. By doing so you will be rewarded with an enduring sense of satisfaction far greater than the temporary pleasure by which you were tempted.
When someone ridicules you it teaches you that nobody is perfect. Accept people for their merits and be tolerant of their flaws. Do not ever reject someone for imperfections over which they have no control.
When you enter someone's life, whether by plan, chance or coincidence, consider what your lesson will be. Will you teach love or a harsh lesson of reality? When you die will your life have resulted in more loving or hurting? More comfort or pain? More joy or sadness? Each one of us has power over the balance of love in the world. Use it wisely. Don't miss an opportunity to nudge the world's scale in the right direction.
Boy, am I psyched. But one thing's for sure... riding a bus to the mall & back for plain kicks can absolutely clear up muddled thinking. Well, at least for an hour.
I have to get back into the habit of journal writing again to keep track of my diffused stream of consciousness. Oh, & I mean WRITING. /me grimaces
Here's another nice flick & keyword to follow for the proceeding posts & general babble: Osmosis Jones.
I can't wait for "Legally Blonde" & "Serendipity", though!
I've been wondering why some of them light, heartwarming, insightful movies are underrated. They should get a lot of publicity. People oughta learn more about them, & the lessons they behold. Sometimes you rediscover the most overlooked sensibilities in "flimsy"-themed motion pictures. Hooray for humor!
It's nice running into old friends again... I'm mighty glad I did. Somehow it helps keeping in touch with the past to revamp the present & cook up a more promising future.
Hopefully I'd get to gain that new day soon. I need all the back-up & guts I can have & muster. It's hard wobbling after stumbling hard with a loud thud to get back on track.
I think I need another long walk. To rearrange.
Which reminds me, my room needs an overhaul as well. But it's been ages since I've declared it to be so, & still haven't done anything much about it.
"Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful what to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. On the contrary, if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head." -- Romans 12:17-20; NIV

Do you know anyone else sporting a dainty yellow green transparent cellphone with its default *yellow green* backlight? /me ponders... *snicker*
I wanna go clubbing. I want another shot of Hazelnut Cappuccino zagu shake. I wanna grubtrip on KFC.
Gott Sie Dank for diversions like this. I miss my old pastime.
My life is going nowhere fast, & yet as of now I can't do anything much about it. But I hope things turn for the better... my whole future depends on what will happen by the end of the semester. Being "dislodged" from school is the pits. I miss my old, sprightly self reeeeaaaaaal baaaaaaaaad.
Kath & I decided to trip to the mall at the last minute last night. She wanted to watch "Heartbreakers" - & I'm mightly glad we did. It was a totally thought-provoking movie presented in a very light, casual, comical way... much like "Bedazzled", shown a few months earlier. However, if it weren't for the rather torrid kissing scenes, rampant stiffy shots, plunging necklines, tight dresses, dangling long legs, & innuendos, I would probably be really satisfied. I mean, the whole shyt was just too much for a comic flick, IMO. But then again, the plot calls for such takes - I've seen worse stuff pulled off, anyway.
All that food-tripping wasn't enough, though, to keep me sober last weekend. Had too much cake, experimented with bagoong + tinola, pigged out on arroz caldo a few minutes before hitting the sack, & gobbled up the rest of the carbonara heaped in macaroni. Lynne came over & stayed for 24 hours or so. I managed to keep my word to shadowkat for showing up last Saturday night. Lynne & Kath were with me - & boy, we weren't in our usual selves back then.
My good ol' bud McCoy called up oh-so unexpectedly last week, when my sis & I decided to trip on Japanese [food]. My bro took the call for me the first time. The three of us sibs got so sick of cali maki. Sheesh. But the torikatsu was superb.
But before that, I dragged my kid brother to see "The Princess Diaries" last Wednesday. I was dying to check that one out the very first time I caught sight of its wacky trailer & promotional ads in the mall along my locale. I have to admit I've seen better stuff than this flick, but it was hella fun seeing it nevertheless. I have the feeling that Sonny [what I'd usually call him] would probably duck for cover the next time I tag him along to watch a movie after school. He's been enduring "sissy" movies with me ever since we watched "Atlantis"... poor boy, heh. My kid sis nor anyone else couldn't go with me, so Sonny'll make do. It's nice bonding with him anyway, from time to time.
My best friend shadowkat gave me a cute Taz of Looney Tunes throw pillow the day before the movies... I didn't expect she'd drop by, & we had to settle for shanghai rice + pancit canton for lunch. We chatted lightly, updating each other on what we've been into the past few days of absence. I had to drop her off in turn at her place that night, since it was getting rather scary of her going home alone around such hours. We had spaghetti & beef sopas for dinner there, & she shared with me her anxieties in love, romance, friendships going stale, school, & self. It was a rather meaningful conversation, compared to all the others I've spent bumming around with her this year, as far as I can remember. Hmmm... oh, well. I feel sick & diminishing, too. Death would be a pretty good release of tension, methinks.
