| Words of Wisdom (W.O.W.): Romeo and Juliet |
[17 Feb 2009|12:30am] |
|
"Maybe Romeo and Juliet were fated to be together, but just for awhile, and then their time passed. And if they could of known that before hand, maybe it would of all been OK. I told Ms. Synder that when I was grown up, I would take fate into my own hands. I wouldn't let some guy drag me down. Mrs. Synder said I'd be lucky if I ever had that kinda passion with someone, and if I did we would be together forever. Even now I believe for the most part, love is about choices. It's about putting down the poison and the dagger and making your own happy ending, most of the time, and that sometimes despite all your best choices and all your best intentions, fate wins anyway."
--Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy

| The Meantime Girl |
[12 Jan 2009|07:49pm] |
|
Another one of those things going around the internet. It's interesting, true and sad for those who can relate! The Meantime Girl Anonymous She`s the one you call when you`re bored because she makes you laugh. She`s the one you talk to when you`re feeling down because she`s willing to lend an ear and be a friend. She`s not the one you call when you need a date to your company`s Christmas party, or to go dancing with on a Saturday night. She`s the one you spend time with between girlfriends, before you find "The One". You know, the one you keep in the MEANTIME. She`s not one of the guys, not a tomboy, but you don`t look at her as a “real” woman, either. She`s not bitchy enough, moody enough, or sexy enough to be seen in the light. She`s too laid-back, too easily amused by the same things your male buddies are amused by. She’s too understanding, too comfortable. Doesn’t make you feel nervous or excited the way a `real` woman does. But she`s cool, nice and funny, and attractive enough that when you`re lonely and need intimate female companionship, she`ll do just fine. You don`t have to wine and dine her because she knows the real you already, and you don`t have any facades to keep up, no pretense to preserve. You`re not trying to get anything of substance out of her. She`s not easy, but you know that she cares about you and is attracted to you. And you know that you don`t have to explain yourself or the situation, that she`ll be able to cope with the fact that this isn`t the beginning of a relationship or that there`s any possiblity that you have any real romantic feelings for her. It won`t bother her that you`ll get up in the morning, put on your pants, say goodbye, and go on a date with the woman you`ve been mooning over for weeks who finally agreed to go out with you. She`ll settle for a goodbye hug and a promise to call her and tell her how the date went. She`s just so cool.. why can`t all women be like that?! But deep down, if you really think about it (which you probably don`t.. because to you, the situation between the two of you isn`t important enough to merit any real thought) you know that it`s really not fair. You know that although she would never say it, it hurts her to know that despite all her good points and all the fun you two have, you don`t think she`s good enough to spend any real time with. Sure, it`s mostly her fault, because she doesn`t have to give in to your needs - she could really play hard-to-get. Bitch like the rest of them do, if she really wanted to. But you and she both know that she probably couldn`t pull it off. Maybe she`s too short, or a little overweight, or has big birthmark on her forehead, or works at Taco Bell, or just really not that type. Whatever the reason, somehow life has given her a lot of really great qualities but has left out the ones that men want (or think they want) in a woman. So she remains forever the funny friend, the steadfast companion, the secret lover, and you go on searching for your goddess who will somehow be everything you ever wanted in a woman. You`ll joke to her that she should be the best man at your wedding, and she`ll laugh and make a joke about a smelly rental tux. She doesn`t captivate you with her beauty, or open doors with her smile. Mainly, she blends in with the crowd. She`s safe. She doesn`t want to be the center of attention and turn the heads of everyone in the room. But she wants to turn someone`s head. She wants to be SPECIAL to someone, too. We all do. She has feelings. She has heart. In fact, she probably has a bigger heart than any woman you`ve ever known because she`s had a front-row seat to The Mess That Is Your Life, and she likes you anyway. She obviously sees something worthwhile and redeeming in you because although you`ve given her nothing, absolutely no reason to still be around, she is.

| Weekend in VA/DC Post |
[28 Oct 2007|09:47pm] |
Why am I bloogigging, I'm probably deleting this after
>Met up with an old friend (my neighbor) who seems to be having the best time ever in Georgetown. Had late lunch in Leopold's, an inexpensive European cafe in Cady's Alley along M Street (the shopping center in the campus). Kinda fancy, and the food was too pretty to eat but it was great and filling, so if you happen to be in the DC area, don't forget to try Leopold's.
>Holy shit I so want to study at Georgetown University (it was once part of my top 5) but law, politics and economics, you have got to be kidding me. I love the area, I love the campus, I love M street, I love how it's near my extended family (about twenty minutes away) and most of all I love that it's JESUIT. Man. I am, however, completely hating the fact that its far from the direction where I am heading. I want VIS COM it still is broad but thats what I love about it because it allows you to work in various fields and do a lot of things (advertising, fashion, web and graphics, production design and maybe even interior design). I've given up on my NYU-Tisch Film Dreams, too far behind and too lazy. Yup, I'm sure. And I'm also sure that I cannot do these things in Georgetown.
Georgetown is great, but not for me, but I can still live in VA/DC. :)

>The java uploader of multiply wont seem to allow me to post pictures, I don't know why. I have some awesome pics of the boat ride that my friend and I took the other day in Chicago. From the dock, it takes you out into Lake Michigan and around the shoreline of Chicago and back into the river and around the city. It sort of is the same boat that they took in My Best Friend's Wedding, well at least we went through the same river. There's a tour guide so its not like you'll just sit there and look at the buildings, without having any idea what it is you're looking it. Among the many things that were pointed out would be the magnificent buildings were Oprah had once lived, the new Trump hotel (which is great and gives contrast as it is situated beside buildings with old architecture), the Navy Pier (like Luna Park in Sydney), the museum campus, and the building where Abraham Lincoln had taken his oath for/of? Presidency. The tour guide talked mostly about architecture, as Chicago is known for modern architecture. I want to post the pictures already.
You see I have this thing for boats. I sorta did a similar thing when I was in Sydney.
>I'm in Fairfax in Virginia which is about 20 minutes away from DC. I took Southwest Airlines and flew domestic in the US for the first time.It was a different experience but it wasn't that difficult. I just didn't like the idea of sitting in the airport by myself waiting for my flight. Plus our flight got delayed, arrived in Dulles Airport 15 mins late.
>Watched the new Steve Carell movie, Dan In Real Life, the one with Dane Cook. The movie is about Dan, a newspaper columnist who gives advice on parenting to his readers but he himself can't seem to practice what he preaches. It's not a typical Dane Cook movie because he's not that comedic, unlike his other movies. I officially love Steve Carell, Dan In Real Life removes the stain that 40-Year-Old Virgin left on him. People were super clapping after the movie, it was really good. I swear you all have to watch it.
Gibbbbrish.

Sembreak!
Haha, it's over. Survived Tran's defense and got a decent grade, I'm never gonna have to think of that damn subject again. Survived Philo and Theo orals. Survived the semester. Survived 7 out 8 semesters. 1 left. 1.
I'm in the Northwest Lounge now waiting for my flight. I'm so excited and I can hardly waitto get out of here. I really really really need this break.
I am loving the feeling of watching television and staying up late doing just that without the feeling of guilt. The past 10 months have been intense, 10 months of non-stop studying. It's actually the first long break for the JTAers since we got back from our semester abroad.
The last time I wrote was in August and I forgot to mention that I moved to Katipunan again. That helped a lot. All in all, first sem was fun. I'm so glad to have met so many people who made school super interesting. I used to hate hanging around campus but then now I actually moved so I can be in school more often (what a loser).
Gahhh. Haha.
1 left.

If he doesn't think you're amazing, he probably doesn't like you that much.
Never settle for someone who doesn't think you're great and makes you feel that there will always be others who are better, prettier, skinnier and smarter than you.
A guy who really likes you will still think you're gorgeous even beside your supermodel friend.
A guy must choose you because he thinks you are the best and not because the better ones are out of his league.
You deserve to be the 1st choice, not one of the options.

When no sign manifests itsef, it is provoked, it is asked to put an end to the tension & anxiety caused by relativity and disorientation.
interesting.

| On Baseball Bats |
[11 Jun 2007|11:36pm] |
I hate it when I cannot argue myself out of something and when I cant pursuade someone to do something. It feels like a baseball bat hitting me in the head and waking me up to the reality that I cannot get everything that I want. I hate the fact that I have no control over things and people and I hate the thought that I can do all that I can to convince people but if they won't, they just won't do it.
I am a go-getter, but this time around, I have no other choice but to sit and wait for life to happen.

I'm trying my very best to be logical by finding basis for everything. I've searched the world for the most convincing reason not to. I surrender. I cannot help how I feel.
Why the hell am I depriving myself of this feeling anyway.

| On Being Polite |
[07 Jun 2007|10:13pm] |
I reconcile with people most of the time only because I am trying to be polite. Forgiveness does not always mean friendship and it does not mean that every thing that you have done along with your nasty habits have been forgotten. I reconciled with you to rid myself of the need to be hostile towards you and not so I could give you great relationship advice. I gave you my hand, stop bitting my arm.
I am not your friend
I am simply being polite.

I am trying to be happy in spite of all the disappointments. I should stop hoping because no matter what I do, people will always fail me. Nothing will ever be done right and nothing will ever match my expections and my standards.

I'm into you like I'm into bad movies with bad reviews. I am hoping that the critics are wrong and there's a poignant storyline that will change my life anyway.

I was really planning on deleting this journal already but then I remembered that all my travel stories are here and I really don't want to forget them. So I'm going to keep this here for a while.

The problem is PENIS, no ESTROGEN.
Remember that in Grey's Anatomy?
So which one is it?

[23 Apr 2007|07:27pm] |
I'm sick of being treated like nothing
Maybe for once in my life I want to be the first on someone's list
I want to be wanted and not be one of the many options.
I want someone to want me with the same wanting and desire that I have for people.
