There'd be less bickering, less hurt feelings, less anger and a peaceful world if and only if people are:

a.) responsible enough to work on the job that is due to them. one doesn't need to be reminded constantly of what he should do, application of a little common sense works.

b.) hold on to their words. come on the appointed time. if one can't, let it be known immediately. don't allow others to wait until their pupils turn white.

c.) considerate and sensitive of others surrounding them.

I am so disappointed today. My patience and tolerance level are alarmingly dropping!! If people are a lot like those I have mentioned, there'd be no wasted time and sleep-deprived persons like me and most importantly, things can be done efficiently. Grr!

Sometimes, It's Better To Just Shut Up

There are only two kinds of people I don't talk to : STRANGERS and PEOPLE I DON'T LIKE. If they are the only kinds of people left on earth *knocks on wood*, I'd rather talk to strangers. I can't stand being all hypocrite and pretentious when deep inside I know I'll regret talking to you. Don't ask me why I don't like you, you wouldn't wanna hear the specifics.

My friend, I wanna help you out in comprehending jokes but believe me, I'd rather discuss a certain pathophysiology than convince you that we were actually laughing because those were meant to be a JOKE!! Now you're complaining why you can't ride on with us. That's because you don't know the difference between a joke and a non-joke, same way with how you cannot differentiate delusion from an illusion. I tell you, you're suffering the former. Oooppss...Didn't I just tell you the truth?
I hope you're telling the truth. But I hope more that there are less gullible people who'd believe you.
True colors are starting to show off. And I can foresee the bigger picture. Good luck, dear!

sitting on the porch on a cold, windy frAiday...

          Yes, it is freaking cold here in MSU. The fog barely cleared up this morning and I am lured to stay at the porch to warm myself after the sun peeked behind the clouds. I have my back turned at the sun for fear of, um, getting sunburn. Heehee. I only need a few minutes under it to activate my Vitamin D enzymes underneath my skin, I can see those goosebumps as the warm rays hit my pale-almost-cyanotic skin. And I am wearing layers of sweatshirts and jackets. I love this, when I can go by the day without showering and still smells great. :) I am eating plenty of choclates for two days in a row, I feel drunken by it. I am eating all kinds of sweets because my aunt, who just came from another country after many years of staying there, came home and I slept over at her place the other night. She secretly whipped these dark choc'lates inside my bag and told me not to tell anyone 'coz she has limited stocks. LOL. Okay, so I'm her favorite. :) I devour them one bar after another and I can't seem to stop, and I feel like a princess---eating bars of chocolates while warming herself under the sun, sitting on a chair while leafing a book. :)) I shouldn't be sitting on a chair, I should be lying on a couch but we don't have couch here in our porch. We only have a plastic chair. So whatever, I still feel princess-y.

          While I was at my aunt's place the other night, my sister and some cousins of mine ransacked her make-up kit and experimented on our faces. And here's the result:

 me, babydoll, amanee and nasbia (at the back)

no one can deny me wearing red lipstick. so in for the holidays, eh? :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO MY CHRISTIAN FRIENDS!

          Two nights ago, I slept over at Ate Diane's place. My "older sister". I always find time to be with her every break because she's the only person who exactly knows what to say when I pour my heart out. :) I don't call her my bestfriend because she's more of a sister to me. The older sister I never had, but I have her and I'm so grateful for that. *winks* I met Arianna too, her chic lappy! And of course Sing-sing, her naughty cat, who grew up faster. We haven't took a picture together because we were busy chatting and interneting. Hehe. But I took one while she's using Arianna:

Babypink and Arianna at our little sister Maru's room. :)

She knows something about me right now that I'd never tell anybody. Heehee. :) Love you, my precious!

        I'd be off to CDO to meet up with friends and hopefully spend the New Year there. I always spend it with my family, but this time I want it different. I'd be staying with my Same, Mabi and I'm hoping to meet the rest of my BGM (B. Girls of Mendeleev) friends.

Advance Happy New Year Everyone!

Zero Degrees Kelvin 01

Ayaka still gives a cold shoulder to Reifu. She has her reasons. This is the problem when you don’t have concrete evidence at hand, you can’t confront the person, Ayaka complains.

She prefers not to reveal her reasons, because, she pities Reifu. Reifu doesn’t know that Ayaka already knows her hidden mystery. Or, Ayaka assumes that Reifu’s not numb enough to not have any hint about it already by now.

Ayaka wonders what Reifu’s twisted, divine-sounding tongue had told Mizuka. She wonders if her conscience’s knocking on her…oh, she forgot, Reifu doesn’t have that—not even in her vocabulary.

This is the problem when you love the person too much because of the perfection she has shown. Ayaka put Reifu on a pedestal, she adored her, idolized her, and protected her; if only she could put Reifu on a little box so she won’t get harmed, she would. She was a fragile angel incapable of mischief, much more with lying? She treated her like her own little sister. Reifu’s such a brilliant and talented girl, Ayaka knows there’s more to her than meets the eye. However, Reifu’s naturally shy. She tried to get Reifu out of her shell by persistent encouragement and moral support. She tried to pull the best out of her. Ayaka’s life has been an open book to Reifu with a little hope that she could crack Reifu’s shell and would eventually open up to her. She wants their friendship to bloom like the one she has with her other friends. She wants to develop that inherent connection among friends. But Reifu has that innate mystery that Ayaka has been trying to figure out; her shell’s hard as cement to crack. She maintains that translucent hurdle that makes her more difficult to get to know deeply. Hence, Ayaka succumbed to what Reifu has been showing—perfection. Perfection in all aspect of her life. Ayaka adored her more.

Suddenly, epiphany presented the truth to Ayaka. The truth beneath Reifu’s divine mask. How rotten her core is. She had long been eaten by unnecessary insecurity and envy and masked everything by persuasive lies. Purely epiphany.

*** this is an attempt to short-story writing (which I don’t have any background of. Haha! So cut me some slack.) I will continue the story of Ayaka and Reifu in the succeeding entries. =) Hopefully, if I have time.

I included this in my most-fave books. =) The naughtiness of this four girls—Vivi, Caro, Teensy and Necie—is so much fun! They grew up and grew old together. I liked that they didn’t separate their ways even after marriage and they have their own special friendship rituals; they dealt with each one’s struggles—death of a loved one, raising up kids, marital conflicts—together. Their sincerity, love and truthfulness fueled their friendship, devoid of insecurity and jealousy because they know that each one of them has a peculiarly unique characteristic. After finishing the book, I sat down and ponder about my friends. Who can be Vivi, Caro, Teensy or Necie in my circle of friends? Who am I among them? I think I am lot more like Necie, the one who could sense a boundary around her and did her best not to step over the line.

If there’s one person I can metaphorically tag as a friend since we were still zygotes inside our mothers’ wombs, that would be Lily. Our fates crossed when we were six years old, during our Kindergarten graduation practice. I remember her as the chubby, curly-haired little girl who owns the Chinese garter I attempted to borrow. Little did I know that we would be glued to each other until adulthood. Our friendship is not a perfect one, we had our fair share of squabbles (lots of them I can’t even count with my fingers and toes) nonetheless we still survived. We were classmates until high-school until I had my academic shortcomings although we went to the same school until college pursuing the same degree. Those times we were classrooms apart in high-school, I recall she would call me in the middle of my class just to hand me a heart-shaped colored paper with the words: “Take Care, I Miss You!” signed with her name on the bottom (her trademark is a spiral-shaped sun that comes with a macaroni-shaped rays, or sometimes a deflated heart. Hehe.) . Since grade school, we always go to school together (we used to be neighbors) and go home together. We never ran out of topic to talk to—mostly about her boys. However, we’re not the kind of friends who are exactly alike. In fact, we are quite the opposites. Physical law of magnetism truly applies to us. She’s more of the talker while I’m the listener; she’s the life of a party while I’m a flower vase; she a fashionista while I slip into whatever comfy clothes I have in my closet; she loves socialization while I’d rather settle into the solitude of anything readable; she jumps to the showbiz section of the newspaper while I stick into the front page; she loves loud color while I choose quiet colors; she's the talk of the town while I live a quiet life..Hehe... In spite of our characteristics collision, we also have our numerous commonalities—more on the way we think. We share the same principles in life and somehow, some interests. Now that I’m academically one-step behind her, I follow her tracks and try to avoid whatever mistakes she stumbles into. In other words, she serves as an example to me. Cheers to a lifelong friendship! Mwah!   

Us. Now.

Every person should maintain at least three kinds of friendships:

1.)    Friends of your own age with whom you can talk over your problems, plans and goals with confidence.

2.)    Friends older than you to whom you can confide and be assured of wise counsel.

3.)    Friends younger than you with whom you can share your life’s experiences.

It’s not only in being helped, but in helping others, that you can find release from your inner tensions.
