fortune teller much?
THIS IS SO FUNNY!!! HAHAHA...
reading my old journal entries (the ones in this notebook thingy) makes me kinda laugh but more than that, it makes me wanna cry. it's sad seeing that in a year, i haven't really changed much. i'm still the same old person, not knowing what i'm doing with my life, with the same old hang-ups and hurts that i've been harboring for the last n years. and yet, everything around me has changed drastically. i am perenially in the state of wanting to catch up with life but am always failing to do so. when will i ever? and who would have thought that what i imagined last october would happen in the next year is actually happening now? eh? haha... yeah... go me!
sabaw!!!

UK
i've been busy... what with work and school, but really, mostly school... i've been so busy that i spent around an hour or so replying to people who have texted me over the week that i haven't replied to. and that's reallya feat (or rather a not-so-feat) for me... anyway... i'm glad that our geog term paper is already finished. it took up a humongous amount of my time, especially time for reading my eng11 stuff:( so i am now to immense myself in doses of literature.. :)
anyway... i was looking at this blog by a Parisienne... it was really a fashion blog chronicling(?) her outfits.. she was French, so ultimately, she had a great sense of style and every outfit just works.. but that's not really what I was amazed at. what I find really awesome is the pictures she takes of second-hand clothes store or thrift shops or in local terms, ukay-ukays. i was amazed that everything was organized. the clothes were arranged in a certain order, the shoes and bags were lined up perfectly and everything looked clean. sunglasses were placed on glass shelves and arranged neatly and by style.
ukay-ukay is gaining its name here in the Philippines. but i guess, whenever we talk about ukay-ukay, there is still a sense of apprehension. the only time we are proud of our ukay-ukay buys is when they don't look like ukay-ukay buys. and there is still this certain association with ukay-ukay being kadiri and all. which, i think, has basis. when you enter an ukay-ukay, there is this certain smell that's not reminiscent of cleanliness. it's dusty, clothes are hanged somewhat haphazardly. there are too many clothes on a rack, the shoes are dusty, the bags are in disarray, you get the picture. and it is always dark... it's just sad that somehow, in some weird metaphor, you can compare the state of the two countries i've mentioned with the way their thrift stores look.. :(
lalang.. :P

Forgetting
Love is so short. Forgetting is so long.
The words above are from Pablo Neruda's Tonight I Can Write the Saddest Lines. First of all, I would just like to say that Andy Garcia sounded so gwapo reading it. :) Anyway, so we were discussing this in class and my classmate pointed out these words. After months and months of trying to get over this certain someone, I actually thought I'd feel my heart flutter at those words and get emotional all over again, but instead, I just feel this numbness. Where all these intense emotions were before, emptiness just resides. Maybe, absence really makes the heart grow fonder but I guess it only works for a certain period of time and only if you allow it too. Because there comes a point when you just know that you can't stay like that anymore, when you just learn how to cope and move on.

I'm really loving my Eng11 class. Well, I really like studying literature in the 1st place so even if it is a challenging course, I still appreciate it very much. I just hope that the discussions become more lively as the summer progresses. I can imagine just how frustrating it gets for my professor, so I also try to contribute as much as I can. Wala lang, just sharing... :P

I've been so busy nowadays. But at least, I'm enjoying the things I'm doing right now. I love lit and although geog is not really my cup of tea, I'm starting to like my Geog1 class. I also feel more comfortable and confident now in my tutoring. :D It really just makes me happy...
So there... There's not really much to talk about. And btw, I hope to be able to watch movies this weekend.
