I have been trying out some other blog formats. But I dunno, I think LJ will always be close to my heart because this is the blog I have maintained since my nene days in high school.  

Will try to update you soon.
Mwah.

Love,

The Big S Question

  • Oct. 18th, 2010 at 1:14 AM

I was trying to organize the files in my trusty Zen (oh hello Himi-chan, we've been together for three years!). I was trying to looking for albums which I didn't listen to anymore, so I can delete them and make way for new ones.

And so I stumbled upon the Mika folder (which contains Life in Cartoon Motion, which I have wrote about before). And I remembered Mika, yay!

I read from his bio that he can actually speak Spanish, so, out of curiosity, I tried to watch interviews with him en español. I was not disappointed, aaand he has this cute accent.

Anyway, in one of his interviews, he was asked about his supposed sexuality issues. I was amused with what he said:

"I consider myself label-less because I could fall in love with anybody --literally -- any type, any body."

It was a nostalgic moment, because I have the same thinking when it comes to love and relationships. Back in high school, and I had a girlfriend, people kept asking me, "So sinong boy at girl sa inyo?" I know, I know, it was kinda obvious, what with I hooked up with a total butch: so the girl part had to be played by me; the boy part, by her. But then I always answered: "Nagkataon lang naman na pareho kaming babae eh. Ayokong i-kahon into boy-girl thinking. We're both girls. Nobody has to be the boy. Kailangan ba nating i-kahon ang bawat relasyon sa pagiging babae at lalaki?"  Remembering this made me think and re-think about this particular philosophy of mine.

Right now, I suppose I am "stuck" with a boy, but that doesn't mean that I completely threw away the idea of being with a girl. The thing I didn't have that Mika has is the experimenting part, and he says: "I've never ever labeled myself. But having said that; I've never limited my life, I've never limited who I sleep with... Call me whatever you want. Call me bisexual, if you need a term for me..." Sometimes, of course, I think of that too: what if I got to be with more girls? With a gay guy? With a gay girl? But I'm happy to say that with Marc, I still get my dose of social experiments, him with the long hair and me with the boy cut, among other things. In some ways, I am the boy and he is the girl, like how I become really aggressive in trying to get a taxi cab (haha), or on the other hand, like how I love tying his hair in ways that he actually looks like a girl. In three years of being with the same person, I have realized that the bottomline is (as with any relationship for it to really work): I'm happy. It doesn't really matter if your partner is male or female, what matters is that you are happy with each other.

Everyone knows that Marc and I don't really stick to monthsaries/anniversaries, but I guess the apparent success of our relationship actually merits a celebration. Let's drink to that, shall we? 3 years and counting! =)

P.S. After all these years, yes, I still want to look androgynous. Anyone got an idea on how I can hide my boobs? HAHAHAHA. :)
 

Hello.

Hi LJ. I'm back. Posting here again feels like a high school reunion. (WTH?)

I appreciate you now because of f*cked-up social media mediums (hehe) like Facebook, where everyone posts everything, hoping that everyone hits "Like."

I'll try to make LJ a habit again. :) Nos vemos. :)

Catching up

  • Jan. 21st, 2009 at 6:40 AM
:D
I've just realized how I haven't updated this blog in months. T_T

By the end of February, I am hoping for a blog entry which states that I am done with the final draft of my thesis.
By the first week of March, a blog entry which says that my defense was a success.
And by the day before my birthday, that I have submitted the bound copies of my thesis and is really really graduating.

We'll see. :)
I swear after this semester (my very last in UP), I am soooooo gonna party!
Who's coming with me? LOL.

MEME (after such a long time.)

  • Nov. 23rd, 2008 at 10:51 PM

Grabbed from [info]cruentare, meme at Colorgenics.

You are seeking an affectionate relationship, offering fulfilment and happiness. You are capable of powerful emotional enthusiasm. Deep down, you are a kind loving person, always helpful and willing to adapt yourself if necessary to realise the bond of affection that you desire. But you need the same consideration and understanding from others and it is this need that will sometimes hold you back... so let go, trust and you may pleasantly surprised at what happens. [I did, and is very happy with the results.]

You are working extremely hard trying to improve your image in the eyes of others. You are looking for acknowledgement from your peers and those who come into your sphere of influence. You want to be liked, not for what people think of you but for what you really are.

You are confined and trapped in a distressing or uncomfortable situation and seeking some way out. Whatever you seem to do to resolve the problem hasn't worked out. Fortunately you are able to gain some aspect of relief from someone close to you.

You are being unduly influenced by the situation that is all around you. You do not like the feeling of loneliness and whatever it is that seems to separate you from others. You know that life can be wonderful and you are anxious to experience life in all its aspects, to live it to the full. You therefore resent any restriction or limitations that are being imposed on you and you insist on going it alone.

You wish to be left in peace... no more conflict and no more differences of opinion. In fact you just don't want to be involved in arguments of any shape or form. All you want is for 'them' to get on with it - and to leave you alone.


*sigh* I hafta sleep now. Got an appointment in Manila tomorrow at 8 AM. Oo, ang aga. Boo.

First half of Raket Marathon over.
I'm tired.
But raket = money, and money is what you use to buy food and to pay for pamasahe and phone bills.
I need money; therefore, I need raket. Therefore, I cannot be tired.

>_<

Emoness. Ohyeah.

I found this while Googling "emo." I dunno, though, if my German prof (prof sa German na German, gets?) will laugh with me.
Pero kasi, totoo naman eeeeh. :D

What we do on Sundays.

  • Oct. 19th, 2008 at 11:38 PM

Sunday at the Cruel household usually means that everyone's at home. My mom has this unwritten rule that Sunday is family day, and so, Sunday is the only day of the week that I do not leave the house. Hahaha.

While Mom was busy watching Prison Break 4  while shrieking every time something exciting happened, we three girls made landi and [info]lenujan becomes hairdresser for a day. We tried straightening our hair with that rebonding kit Mom bought years ago, and we had to finish it because it's almost past its expiration date.






There was this step in the procedure which said that we had to iron our hair. And iron our hair we did. Haha. Di naman siguro ako idedemanda ng mga kapatid ko balang araw. :P


In the end, when my hair dried up, it was still curly as ever. Wahahaha. Ano ba yun. >_< Now my scalp stinks because of the chemicals of that white gunk we put in our hair. Oh well.

Konting tiis na lang.

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin

-Feel the Rain on Your Skin, Natasha Bedingfield
 
That line easily describes how I feel right now, while waiting for my grades to appear in my CRS. Wala lang. Anticipating. Happily expecting something I have worked hard for in my four years in the University. [info]marc_marc11 is insisting that with my grades for the past semesters and summers, it's already fail-safe*, but I dunno, I guess I'm still scared. (Blame my stooooopid jinx. Argh.) Hopefully, this time, all my stressed-out days and sleepless nights will not be put to waste. ^___^;
 

And I just realized something: ever since I was small, my biggest fear is failure. This explains a lot of my idiosyncracies, from people-pleasing to my being uber paranoid. Guess we all have our quirks.




*fail-safe (adj): having no chance of failure
<"the little black dress…has consistently been the fail–safe solution for night" — Vogue>

HAHA. I think I need that sleepover badly.

P.S. BOO YOU, CRS! EL 200 na lang subject ko, di mo pa binigay.

Finally.

  • Oct. 9th, 2008 at 10:10 PM

My sem's over. Now awaiting results. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

Breathe breathe. Sana di ako malaglag from Magna. Argh argh.

[edit: as of now ang alam ko lang na grade ko ay German 30 (1.0) at 31 (1.5). There's this big possibility that I'd get a 2.0 sa PI 100*. Oh dear.]

I'll be me time-ing muna. Planning to watch Magnolia tonight, para mabalik ko na kay Marston. Haha. :)

brb.



*Philippine Institutions 100. Rizal course.





Pampasaya lang ng buhay. Something I found from xkcd. Deeeehmit, you never fail to make me smile.
