Pisces

Who prays and serves
and prays some more?
And feeds the beggar at the door
And weeps over the love lost long before?
It is the Pisces

He's-Not-A-Jerk-After-All

This realization completely threw me. Maybe he is not a jerk after all. The cold hard truth can be that he is not interested that's why the inattention.

But there's a part of me that tells me otherwise. I still want to hold on to that dream for a little while more. At the same time, I do not want to wake up one day and find out that chance has passed me by.

I have stumbled upon the lyrics of this song by Rascall Flatts:

What hurts the most

was being so close

and havin' so much to say

And watchin' you walk away

and never knowin'

what could've been

and not seein' that lovin' you

is what I was trying to do.

Funny how I can relate to anything right now. It must be the weather. And of course, I need to blame it on something else other than myself. That can only work for so long.

P.S.

I will try my best not to make another mushy post. Today, I just can't help it.

Christmas List

Christmas is upon us. Not that I believe in every detail heaped upon the Christmas story, but Christmas traditions have been celebrated for as long as any of us can remember and there's no denying the contagiously optimistic and extravagant spirit it brings. One of which is gift-giving.

Yup, I agree that it's the thought that counts but don't you think it would be perfect when you get the gifts that you really wish for? (Now we get to the part that I really like.) To make your gift-hunting concerns one person easier, here's a list of gift ideas just for moi: ;o)

• below-the-knee skirt - I want a simple cut, no pompous designs. My size is small or 26"
• "Circles" or "First Born" paperback by Doris Mortman
• DVD/VCD original copy of Ella Enchanted
• DVD/VCD original copy of the 1st or 2nd season of Gilmore Girls
• DVD/VCD original copy of any Boney M Christmas album
• body pillow
• any book by the following authors: Paulo Coelho, Malcolm Gladwell, Mitch Albom, Shannon Hale
• any book that you would recommend

May the spirit of giving be with you during this season of love. READ: Dapat before 25 na receive ko na yung gift ko. hehe! Demanding!!!P.S.Daei, si Tin daw, gusto ng USTe jacket (P800)!

I-Still-Think-He-Is-A-Jerk

There is this person who has profoundly disturbed my peace of mind...

And I still think that he is clueless after every embarassing thing I did just so he'd know. The jerk is so far removed from reality that he does not see what's right in front of him!!!

Actually, for the first time in a long, long while I see somewhat positive signs but no concrete evidence so far. I was told not to assume. I have learned never to assume. It could still be anything between pregnancy and dengue fever so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. But if I'd be asked what best would make my Christmas, I won't think twice.

DON'T I WISH!

Match-up

Got home just in time to watch the live telecast of the Pacquaio-Morales 'Grand Finale' show down. I have only one thing to say about that match-up. That is a rather malnourished-looking man inside the boxing ring fighting our very own Pacman. My heart almost went out to him.

The Charles Schulz Principle

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.

Mrs. Fajota and Mrs. Salvador - my Grade V and Grade VI advisers, respectively, who have diligently prepared us for highschool life.

Mrs. Acayan - former highschool principal, who is a walking library of practical knowledge.

2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.

Sta. Catalina roommates, Carol, Arnie, Jen and Lizette - They took me to the hospital when I had allergic reactions to penicillin the day before the first day of midterms exam. If my memory serves me right, I was then so afraid of the intravenous injection I had to ask one of them to hold my hands right before the procedure was done. They took turns watching over me while reviewing until my mother arrived from the province.
Melanie - My sister. She can be very sensible when necessary like when I was nursing a broken heart.
Tin - What we have gone through and what we're still going through is like the first twenty minutes of Saving Private Ryan (a daily battle ground) and so far we are still surviving.

3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
Papa and Mama - family values
Ate Hilda - The body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Respect it and heed its warning signals.
Mimie - the value of saving, proper timing and the right connections
Mrs. Trinidad - work values
Bo Sanchez - to "Live simply so that other's may simply live."

4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
Mrs. Olivia Ferry - former country manager of IMS Health Philippines where I used to work and president of Zonta International. Although I cannot prove it, I am certain I did not win the Little Mermaid tickets by chance. She made that happen.
And of course, there's this guy... (i'm keeping my fingers crossed)

5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.
Micca - When I'm with her, I feel young and carefree again. She is my three-year-old companion whenever I'm home, my one-man barkada in Castillejos.
Bunny - She's been working in Ireland for three years already and I miss going out with her so much.
Tin - When it's the 15th or the end of the month and we are together, our salaries go 'poof'. What we do together? We pig-out, we try on dresses, shoes and stuff, we watch movies until the wee hours of the morning and we hang out in Powerbooks until we are asked to leave. (Sinabi na kasing bawal mag pictorial, eh)

And now, I'm tagging Tin.

Hello, Mai... test

test post

Oops! Lady bug, workaholic and idiot...

Do I have to remind myself again that working while playing makes for a very dull day and a very perplexed state of mind? This post (Ugh! where's the Title control?!#) and that statement just proved itself right, eh? Meaning I need to go home now (it's almost eleven) and somehow I realize that this is not how I imagined my first Blogger post to be.

What the heck! Shit happens. Get used to it.
