Babies remind us that we grow up fast too...



Bindi, frolicking in the waves of Guam. I miss him so much. English-speaking na daw siya.

I really, really LOVE movies like this one. Stop motion animation + Alice in Wonderland-ish story + a dark setting --Henry Selick and Neil Gaiman are geniuses.

Surrealism and fairytales will NEVER be outdated or boring. Pure classic!
"Coraline" is a breath of fresh air from all the usual rubbish I see. This is the style/art I want to see, not the typical, overrated ones...

Now that my thesis presentation is done, I think it's time I post a blog entry about my 20th birthday last October 12...

Despite the two exams (NASC 3 and SOC 130), I still had a great, great day. :D Thank you Nanay, Tatay, Lola, Nica, Mama, SF (Kay, Fed, Ivy, Maren, Ela, Jane, Ayessa, Lia, Ate Noelle, Roxy kahit ayaw akong batiin) Thank you for spending the day (and night) with me. Sa mga bati ng bati sa Facebook at text (Ate Eya!) THANK YOU naalala niyo ako kahit na alam ko na isang hectic na araw ang October 12. Sir Harold, thank you din po naalala niyo kahit na alam ko busy kayo. :D

Kay Ana Aquino na nag-post ng isang "very touching" blog entry. Salamat. Oy, 'wag mo kalimutan i-post yung listahan ng mga characters ng Noli ha. :))

Pero ang highlight siguro nung birthday ko eh nung sinabi nung kapitbahay namin sa  kapatid ko "Pakisabi (sa ate mo) happy birthday" OMG! :D First time ever!

XD XD XD

Deleted the previous post. That was a naive move. Pardon the fluctuations of a supposedly mature mind.

> Aside from blogging, I'm also listening to "Blame It" by Jamie Foxx AND doing my NASC 3  assignment (Physics of table tennis). By the way, I love Jake Gyllenhaal in the music video.

> I want to learn how to customize this Livejournal account!

> Will watch Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen tomorrow with my Aunt. :)

> Starting to feel sad 'cause Bindi will leave for Guam on the fourth.

> I should be sleeping.

> Would have liked to join the UPLB Perspective (Kuya Arbeen, the new EIC and my former LTS groupmate, asked me last Friday to take the exam. Apparently, they were running out of editorial staff.) but as much as I would like to help, the thought of my untouched thesis proposal is holding me back...

> So many issues, so scattered the thoughts.

I love the song. But which one is the better version?

I saw John this afternoon.

I was walking with a friend when she suddenly nudged me and asked "Is that John?"
I looked up and saw him walking beside a long-haired girl.

I have long forgotten about John. It has been two years since we stopped talking to each other. And I still don't know the reason why.

Now, I saw him again, face to face. And he smiled at me. He remembered me. I returned the gesture. I did not even answer my friend's question.

And that's it. For the second time, we continued on our lives, no explanations whatsoever on why we decided to walk apart, widening the distance.

If I was standing on the balcony
And you were walking down below
I'd feel rather depressed and out of place
And lonely just to watch you go
If you were swinging from the highway overpass
Within the western hemisphere
I'd feel rather afraid and insincere
If you began to disappear

If I was walking through a sad art gallery
And you were driving through the night
I'd feel rather alone and ill at ease
Beneath the brilliant showroom light
If I was flying on a plane above your town
And you were gazing at the sky
Somehow I'd feel intact and reassured
If you began to wave goodbye

-Fuzzy Blue Lights, Owl City

Honored.

Saw some of my long-time-no-see friends last night.
And it suddenly hit me--I've changed so much yet I remained the same.

On the brighter side of last night, I had so much fun at Ate Noelle's house. :D  It completely refuted the saying "the more, the merrier". Though I hope we're more complete next time.
Still waiting for the pictures to be uploaded. :D

It was raining the whole day and my fellow ACB interns were getting sleepy after lunch. 

Sleepy Roxy: Bakit ganun? Umuulan na nga, may nangangagat pa sakin? (referring to insects)
Jane: E 'di ba 'pag umuulan mas maraming insekto?
Roxy: Huh? Eh 'di ba dapat natutulog yung mga yun?

Ok ka lang Roxy?  Haha.

Sigh. Internship at the ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity (ACB) is great! Working in an office surrounded by trees and crickets and birds somehow clears my head. Plus, the temperature makes everything so serene, especially earlier while we were walking among the trees and clutching our umbrellas against the misty rain. I think we literally ate within a cloud (oo, ulap!) because everything seemed so foggy. I almost felt the diwatas watching us from the Forestry trees haha.

Ok, I have to go now. Dinner time! My family's already calling. I'll continue blogging later. Thank God I got into the mood again.

PROUD ME. ^^,

Matuto nang magbasa ng dyaryo! :D

Right now, I want to repeat the "B" word that I always hear from Maren.

I feel like a crazy person who is aware of his craziness. Doesn't make sense but that's the closest thing I can think of to what I'm in now. When I got home today, I wanted to cry but I can't.

Having a weak heart is so hard. Now I understand why some people settled at the bottom. It means they're safe.

It was Earth Hour at that time (UP made it mandatory to turn off the electricity). Light came from Dora's flash.
Notice that I'm in the same chair (see April 1st entry).



"Lugaw"

I've been wanting to write a lengthy post these past few days but something's always holding me back. It's such a shame because I learned A LOT of lessons that I would like to share.

Maybe I will soon, but not this time. I need to organize first.


I'm just...all out of words.

(Convenient, right?)

There's no more time to brood--I might as well condition myself to a more positive summer.

is when you are trying your best to lessen your limitations,

yet others are still affected.

And to top it off, these limitations are pressed,

and you are still affected.

I don't just want rant/complain or comment on today's happenings. I want to earn from it too. .
I also need this for one of my subjects. T.T
