Not The Usual, Yet Still The Same. Wednesday, 122706

This year’s Christmas was both traditional and uhm, not my typical Christmas celebration. Traditional as in we go to the province for Christmas. Traditional because we did the usual videoke and stuff. And yet, it’s not my typical Christmas because for the first time, I wasn’t excited. I guess that’s the effect of growing up. I wasn’t really expecting that much.

All I can say is that this was one of the coldest emo-est Christmases I ever had. Real reason later. Well, not really, Kaye’s message made me really happy and at the same time made me cry. Aww, I miss her SO much. Love you, Kaye! Too bad that we didn’t see each other during the MCHS fair. I’ll post her message to me here later, when my phone’s fully charged already. Yes, I have to share it to you guys, since I was REALLY touched by it. *tear rolls down her face*

I didn’t get that much gifts this Christmas, though I don’t really care. I don’t. Though I was a bit mortified when I got a towel (it’s pink, if you won’t mind) from my Ninang. Hehe. Inside joke. Right, Joe? *winks*

And ZOMG, I got a Team Manila bag! *sighs* I love Team Manila’s designs, they’re so kewl! Hmm, what else? Got some money, got this book (Fermat’s Last Theorem = xⁿ + yⁿ =! zⁿ, =! means not equal to) and got loads of bags. O_O I honestly don’t know why I got a lot of bags. LOL People still give me kiddie stuff too. Hello Kitty? Mickey Mouse? Are they kidding me? I’m fine with SpongeBob (though I didn’t get any Spongebob item) but hey, I’m 14, not 4!

I also didn’t eat that much, particularly because uhm, I wasn’t in the mood to eat. I didn’t socialize that much either: in fact, I was sleeping most of the time, probably because of the exhausting trip. Yes, I’m bad, I didn’t talk that much to my cousins. Not even to those my age. -__-

Team Manila <3. LOL.

I’m willing to bet that I’m getting books next year, since I couldn’t stop reading (and sleeping) while I was there. I have to read some chapters of Noli again, though. And yes, I mean AGAIN. I read some just before Christmas but somehow, they got erased in my mind.

Now I hope my mom doesn’t forget to buy me that USB Flash Drive she promised me after I was forced to sing. YES. I WAS FORCED, DAMN. Hey, I didn’t want to sing but I want that USB so badly so I guess what happened next is totally predictable.

Now, for the emo part. Yes, this Christmas was indeed cold.

A Dream. A Really o_O Dream. Saturday, 122306

Before I jot down the details of my dream, well, I’m gonna be offline for 5 days, as I’ll be in Batangas and I won’t probably be allowed to go online there. -__- Owel. I’m leaving tomorrow, so might as well greet you guys now a very merry christmas.

Oh, finally, I’m done with Eragon. Maybe I’ll spend my Christmas money on books.

Anyway, now, the dream.

Last night, I had this really weird dream. I can only vaguely recall the details and I don’t really know how they’re connected to each other so I’ll just put a list of the events that I do remember. (*)-marked details are those part of the edited version of this post, as I just remembered some of them now.

• I-Garnet was having class right smack in the middle of the road at noontime. (I had to add and emphasize RIGHT because Jelo misinterpreted it somehow. )
• Ma’am Capundag (Comsci) was there, teaching CS when there were NO computers. Hello, we were in the middle of a road!
• Cam suddenly danced to this weird song (I don’t know exactly what the song is) and forced me to dance along.
• Estelle was laughing so hard for some unknown reason. (*) According to Estelle, this isn’t really weird.
• Ada was so quiet. Eerily so. (*)
• Joe hugged Stephen. o_O (sorry, Joe, it’s just a dream) Not only that, he looked so… Well, I’ll leave it up to you to imagine.
• Stephen hugged back. o_O
• Joe proceeded to hug the rest of the guys. Yes, even the DX people. o_O o_O o_O (*)
• I was suddenly along East Avenue, attempting to cross it, when my phone fell and some dude got it. He tried to run away but I screamed and threw the phone smack into the middle of the road. A miracle it wasn’t hit by any car. o_O

I woke up right after that. I was really weirded out by that dream and well, 10132006 is still haunting me. -__-

Again, Merry Merry Christmas. I love you all but God loves you more, hence the reason why He sent Jesus Christ.

Boredom. Wednesday, 122006

I wish this boredom I’m experiencing right now would die. DIE BOREDOM DIE. I swear, I am so bored. No one from Garnet’s online, only a few Knollers are online and there’s no one posting in our forum.

I’m flatlining. Seriously. Here’s what my EEG looks like:

—^-^—^–^———————————————

I’m dying. Boredom’s killing me. Someone save me.

Might as well continue reading Eragon. But wait a minute, I think I’ll have to do that tomorrow. Just finished G.P. Taylor’s Wormwood today and I think I need to rest my mind.

Yeah. Take it easy, Marz. Take it slow.

And I am so glad I’m done with my comsci project. Yes, finally, after 2 weeks of working on it, after a change in layout, FINALLY! Hehe, though I would rather have it hosted on a PHP and MySQL-enabled server. I miss using PHP includes and skins. Not to mention wordpress that’s hosted. I miss customizing my own wordpress layouts AND using plugins.

Whoa, that sounded so… geeky.

Guess that’s the result of what I did last summer. Learned some PHP (though what I know about it can be written on a one fourth sheet of pad paper) and developed my HTML skills.

Yet another geeky paragraph from me there. -__-

I better start on my ES homework. Gotta research on the fault lines and trenches within the Philippine Area of Responsibility. Owel.

Naaaah, there’s always tomorrow. And the next. And there’s still Tuesday, and Wednesday, and… I think you get the picture.

A Word on Love. Monday, 121806

Love, oh, love. It’s such a poisonous beautiful four letter word, a word that can turn an entire world upside down. It can create bridges connecting two people and once this bridge is created, it’s such an engineering marvel.

And yet love can be a sword. It can hurt you and you’ll end up writhing in pain. Like I said in my previous post about love, it is bittersweet. There are moments of happiness and there are moments of sorrow, of agony.

But then you’ll still go for it, because you know love isn’t worthless. It’s priceless. It can never go to waste for even though the person you love so much doesn’t reciprocate that love back to you, he/she still knows that someone out there cares for him/her. That’s what counts, really, although it hurts when that love isn’t returned to you.

If that happens to you, don’t give up. Wait, be patient, persevere. Although it may not be a happy ending for you *ahem*, at least you know that you did your best. You tried.

There’s something about the pain caused by loving someone that makes you come back for more of it. I don’t know exactly what but it is true. Maybe it’s because you’re sacrificing your happiness just so that another person can be happy. Maybe it’s because you’re getting out of your comfort zone just because you want that person to be comfortable. It’s all about giving.

I know I sound philosophical here but think about it.
