Erase!

I have been too preoccupied erasing unknown people on my friends list in friendster.com


Adding people is much easier than erasing them... whew!

Tunnels

Life is a cliche.

Sunny endings are always in clear view but getting there, you must first work your way through a blurry tunnel.

I'm in one blurry tunnel right now. But with God beside me, no kind of blur will blind me. It will slow me down a bit... but I'd still reach the sunny end of my journey.

Life sure is a cliche, but every twist and turn are undeniably beautiful.

Greenhillscapade

I had a blast with Chiqui, Jean, Kath, and Mickey @ Greenhills. Laughtrip na tawaran at bentahan ang naganap. Naisip ko.... "I can be a saleslady too!"

Chiqui wasn't feeling so well though since the day before we all saw each other. Who wouldn't be? With all the stress in the world...?! That's why we all needed that weekend shopping spree (which I enjoyed very well... thank you very much...). After hours and hours of scouting and searching for hidden treasures in Greenhills, Chiqui can no longer physically handle the stomach and back pains that we had to rush her to the nearest hospital. And can the going be any tougher?! It took us (LITERALLY) centuries to catch a cab. We finally made it to Medical City in Ortigas safely and there Chiqui had to face her fear of long needles (syringe) with liquid squirting at its tip. We can only pray that Chiqui gets really well soon... Chix, we love you... pagaling ka na!

I finally got the planner I was lusting for... if only I can recapture the thoughts and the emotions that I felt when I was on my way home after all the get-togethers that I have been to, I would. Obviously, now I can't. Allow me however to include what I managed to frantically type & save on my mobile phone:

The Starbucks Planner Lesson.
It's not the actual planner that I'll treasure but the stories that go with it as I try to claim it. The people who helped me get it, the tissues I have wasted, the washrooms I trashed... ours included, the giddy quick stories I shared with friends as baristas put stickers and sign their names on it... the endless chatter as we finish our own plastic cups. Starbucks is expensive and overrated. But the moments I was able to spend with my friends there for hours and hours are (cliche but true) PRICELESS. It's really not the destination but the journey that matters. One planner, different cups of coffee, different faces, different stories. Starbucks coffee is expensive, memories are cheap.

From now on, I'll just collect the latter since I've had more than enough of the coffee.

you are so FATetic!

For the lack of anything coherent to write, I will just post doodles I found in my notebooks that I have kept for ages...

I. From "On Writing Well" by W. Zinser, "strip every sentence to its cleanest components".

II. Statements from the movie American History X that starred E. Norton:
1. Has anything you've done made your life better?
2. I didn't get any answer coz I was asking the wrong question.
3. Hate is baggage.

III. TODAY, I GIVE THANKS FOR...
the gift of self-realization... and the amazing shots that I can make with my camera!

Personal musings...
Do I want people around me to constantly depend on me? When did I start becoming this pathetic? Was I too busy to even notice this? Or maybe, I was so self-absorbed... If we truly are friends, we'd be back to normal. If not, I can always say it was fun 'til it lasted.

wow.... Joe D'mangoe's right... letting it all out can make a big difference...

Warrior of Light

I often catch myself acting self-righteously yes, but I am no warrior of light. That's not how warriors of light probably act. Recently, I have written something about modesty and arrogance. Everything I have written there is now rubbergluing back to me. It's hard when you're stuck in the middle of nowhere, left without a clue on what to do next. Sometimes, it is best to just shut up and second guess your thoughts, actions and reactions on certain situations... if not weigh them.

January 1, 2007. New year!!!!

I was filled with so much intensity and idea on what to write as I try to open this site. However, now that I have... all of those ideas disappeared. I am currently reading The Zahir by Paolo Coelho by the way. I better get back to my reading and just write again some other time.
