What About Love

"What about love?

What about feeling?

What about all the things that make life worth living?

What about faith?

What about trust?

And tell me baby what about us?"

-What About Love, Lemar

The song's relaxing and rather cute. :P I just hope people actually think of those things when they enter a relationship.

Change

I admit, I am a talkative person, especially when I'm with my close friends. I tell them almost everything I feel or experience. I inherited this trait from my grandmother, at least that's what my mother says when I "debate" with her. :)) However, I think my life is not completely an open book. I still have my secrets. :-" There are still things I don't tell my close friends, something that belongs to my secret archives and my messy room. I won't expound on that because I don't want to give you a clue on the things I keep secret. ;)

Then why did I even mention it? Well, if I were given a choice, I would want to be invisible. I want to be doing my own thing free from other people's eyes and comments. I'm done being a person who longs for attention. I'm done being a person who wants to have a lot of friends, who would do everything she could to have more and more friends. I just want to give up this part of me that longs to be popular. As what a handful of my friends know, I wanted to be an actress and singer before. It never came to fruition though, I just wasn't good enough. I didn't have sufficient self-esteem and confidence to join contests and audition. I did join a singing contest in our school once. It was just because of my class adviser who persuaded me to join. He really believed in me and I thank him for that. I thank him for making me feel what I've been yearning to feel before. But that's all over. I'm ready to be a doctor. So right now, I decide to stop all things that still supports this part of me that made me that way. I'll put it in a little box and store it in a musty old cabinet. I guess when all my doctor-related dreams are fulfilled, I'll open that old box of dreams, smile, and say "Hey. You were part of my life, 10 years ago." :)

Anyway, what I just told you is one of the things I keep secret, but it's not really a secret. :)) Some of my friends already know this and now YOU know. Haha.

Toodles! Until next blog, I guess it'll no longer be "New Blogs Every Tuesday", but "New Blogs Every Time-I'm-Not-Busy." :P

New Year's Resolution FAIL

Haha. It has been 2 months since I last blogged. Obviously, I haven't been following my New Year's Resolution. I'd been busy with school for the past months. Every week is what we university students would call HELL WEEK. Exams. Exams. Exams. The worst week was when we had 6 exams! O.O Now, we're on our 1-week vacation. *WHEW* Next week, we're going back to the same old routine . I dunno if I'm ready to go back, but I have to. We have to. Once the summer sem's over, we're officially COLLEGE JUNIORS and after 4 sems, UP GRADUATES.

Aja, Aja, FIGHTING! *in a pseudo-korean accent*

Party, Party. :P

Last night, I attended the debut party of my former blockmate, Venus B. Chi and I came 2 hours late, but we still were able to catch up with the fun! :D So, as what I would do in every party I attend, I took a lot of pictures. Unfortunately, after taking around 50-something photos, my camera broke! O.O Well, the lcd did. It kinda lost it's "brightness"; hence, I could barely see anything. Nevertheless, the party was still fun despite the broken camera lcd. Haha.

Soooo, yeaaaah, we made the most of our time spent with socami before it left us. Here are some of our "cool" secret photos. :> LOL.

Btw, watch our upcoming TV series: MAGKARIBAL! :))

Few pics of the cast: :))

Cast your burdens..

They did it again.

Last Friday night, when I woke up from my afternoon slumber, my father told me that I was asked to sing during our Sabbath school program the next day. I didn't know what to song to sing! I browsed through my old music for a while and decided that I was going to sing "Light of the World" because it was quite easy to sing. Well, I actually haven't completely made up my mind about the song, so I ended up not practicing any song that night.

The next morning, as we were preparing to go to church, my dad asked me what song was I going to sing. "Hindi ko po alam. Duet nalang po tayo! (I don't know. Let's sing a duet!)", I replied. Then, he asked me if I knew the song "Lift up your hands". I knew the song, but didn't actually know the lyrics. So he wrote it for me. We were able to practice the whole song thrice when we got to church. To my surprise, we weren't going to sing during Sabbath school (preliminary service; the time for lesson study and small groups), but during the Divine service ("main" mass or the actual service)!! O.O Gosh. :|

Anyway, I kinda fluctuated when I sang it in front of the congregation. O.O It's all right. The message of the song is more important. Aaaaaaaanddd, it's the first time I sang a duet with my father in church! :D Next time, we'll practice more! No cramming? haha.

Here's a clip of us singing the song. I didn't put the whole song. It's just a combination of a few segments from the original clip. :)

Here's the link for "Lift up your hands" by Basil Valdez.

Yummy hands

Naked blood - a Japanese horror film I will never ever watch. O.O

Last year, Chi really wanted me to watch this clip of a lady eating her own eye. Unfortunately (?), Youtube banned us from watching it because we weren't 18. Now she's of age. So while we were in her dorm yesterday, she finally showed me the clip. She even showed me the clip of the same woman eating her own hand. :|

Gosh. It was so disgusting! Although I'm amazed out how they were able to make the scenes look very real, it still was very creepy, awful and disgusting. O.O The clips came from the movie Naked blood. Here is the plot from Wikipedia.com:

"A scientist named Eiji has developed a new chemical called 'MySon' that can turn pain into pleasure. He decides to put three girls who attend the experiment held by Eiji's mother in the test. Meanwhile, Eiji has a crush on one of the girls, Rika. 'MySon' influences the girls gradually. The gluttonous woman wishes to have the best food in the world, but she ends up eating herself. The vain woman wishes to have the thinnest and most beautiful body in the world. However, noticing hairs and pores all over her body, she tries to mutilate herself. Rika does not seem to be influenced by 'MySon', but Eiji finds out her secret and everything goes wrong..."

Yes, they showed the whole process of "eating herself" and "mutilate herself". :| My eyes couldn't take anything more than the hand and eye eating. So, if you're going to invite me to watch that, I'll pass.

-The hand scene got stuck in my head. I really hope that I won't be dreaming of it tonight. O.O

Zodiac Signs

Due to the changes in the alignment of the Earth caused by the moon's gravitational pull and the addition of a new zodiac sign (Ophiucus, the serpent holder), the dates of zodiac signs have changed. Apparently this change has been going on for centuries/millenia, but it is only recently that it has been brought to light. Well, I only learned about this a few minutes ago, so it's recent for me. :))

According to the Minnesota Planetarium Society, this is the new arrangement:

Capricorn: Jan. 20-Feb. 16.

Aquarius: Feb. 16-March 11.
Pisces: March 11-April 18.
Aries: April 18-May 13.
Taurus: May 13-June 21.
Gemini: June 21-July 20.
Cancer: July 20-Aug. 10.
Leo: Aug. 10-Sept. 16.
Virgo: Sept. 16-Oct. 30.
Libra: Oct. 30-Nov. 23.
Scorpio: Nov. 23-29.
Ophiuchus: Nov. 29-Dec. 17.
Sagittarius: Dec. 17-Jan. 20

That means I'm a Taurus now. I'm no longer a Gemini. :|

But let's see which suits me better. The italicized statements are my comments. :)

I got these from http://www.gotohoroscope.com/gemini-meanings.html and http://www.gotohoroscope.com/taurus-meanings.html

So what zodiac sign best suits me?

I think both. Can there be a hybrid- like a Taumini or a Gemirus? :))

But it really doesn't matter, because the stars don't define who you are and most especially don't decide who you're going to be in life. Naks. ;))
