brooke: but he's a guy, peyton. they're all the same.
peyton: brooke, you have lucas now. enjoy it!


brooke: i like what i like and i do what i do, and that's me.
lucas: and i like that about you.
brooke: but the books that you read, and the music that you listen to, i don't know anything about that...
lucas: but i've never asked that of you. i like that we're different.
brooke: i'm sorry, but you're the first great guy that i've ever dated, i've never cared a rat's ass before...
lucas: i care a rat's ass about you too

brooke: ok, what are you doing?
peyton: (dialing phone)... ok i know you're feeling needy right now, so i'm calling to postpone the interview for after you leave.

gf series 2: the sisterhood of the traveling pants

for every girl whose life has been saved at one time or the other, or oh just the other day, and starting from when you were six, by girlfriends.

bring food (we recommend planet pita's meal of lay's sour cream and onion, [choose your pita sandwich], and coke), tissues (enough to pass around), and enjoy! :D

my eyes started watering two minutes into the movie :D

i remembered my school girlfriends of long ago, and trawling the "mall" shop by shop on Saturdays. and the sleepover party they threw for me the first semestral break i was home from college. and the fact that every time i meet one of them these years, i'm always so glad, they're so nice! and open-minded! (hehehe!)

gf series 1: the future of the world

gf, the future of the universe rests on your shoulders, errr, sorry, your egg :D.

you are the last woman on earth and you have two choices.

who will father your child?

a. someone who smells great but isn't too smart
b. or someone who's sooo smart but isn't too fragrant?

hey hey

my my

:)

journey to whatis

Wednesday
Carebear: I give up, I’m never going to get out of this place. Besides, meeting for coffee and studying is not conducive for studying. Why don’t we set a date for Saturday at the mall?
VV: I’m not sure, I don’t know when B is coming back and when I’ll see him. I’ll text you on Saturday.

Friday
Roommie: So what are you doing tonight? If my dinner with C does not push thru, and the dinner with F does not push thru either, want to watch a movie? (lol! super fallback position :p)
VV: I don’t know what I’m doing tonight. But I really want to see B.
Roommie: Ay! Oo nga pala.

VV: I want to go to Brass Munkeys later, but I really want to see B.
Priestess: Yes, see him. I want you to see him more than I want to see you.
VV: lol! But if I can’t see him, can I see you?
Priestess: lol! yes, VV it would be my pleasure.

Honey: Hunny and luv, are you really going to BM later?
VV: Yes honey! And I’m really looking forward to seeing you there.
Honey: Ok honey!

Carebear: So if you have a date tomorrow, can I tag along?
VV: If I don’t have a date tomorrow, let’s hit the mall.
Carebear: yes! yes!

Buddha: Baka puwede naman tayong mag-kopi bukas? (with carebear)
VV: I don’t know. If I’m not doing anything tomorrow, I’ll text you.

Priestess: Am seeing a rose tomorrow.
Hers: A what? A rose?

Saturday
HB: Busy tonight HB? Want to study at Coffee Bean after dinner?

Get well soon Bryan.

concentration keeps the rhythm

concentration now begins...

childhood chants. adult rants. :D

my brain after all is working. it's concentrating on hours-long chunks. yesterday chunk: synchronicity. last night till morning: ICT. noon till now chunk: research methodologies. must now move into the role of men in families chunks for my next class, not to mention a side trip to siblings-relationships chunk for my report in two weeks.

my heart, however, is all of one chunk :D. (let's not get into what my heart is saying lest it get my brain out of order, like my printer has gone bonkers, banging around without producing print.)

oh well, good enough i live with an iraqi :D

VV: roommie roommie don't worry, you're now an iraqi.
roommie: whaaaat? why?
VV: yahoo says, 'Iraqis miss third constitution deadline.'
roommie: wahahahha, gaga ka, i hate you.

we are girls with deadlines :D

roommie leaves room haughtily, "right, i am going back to writing the constitution."

law-ay

I think am starting to fit the fiction novel description of the graduate student: hairy haggard and ugly!!!!!!!

But I've just finished my first ever review of literature since 1992. (Now you know why my previous masteral degree experiment failed. LOL.)

101 advice

for those fallen in love:
do it all your own way babes :))). sure, people and the world have done it certain ways, certain days, but do it the way it works for you, as yourselves. (it's not very easy though. it's like the roadmap's been all laid out since you were born, and when you go for a ride, you will tend to follow the roads :P but you can drive right up the tree and down the other side if that's what makes your hearts beat.)

for those dreaming:
once you commit to something that you wish for, and it's something that's to the good, and you're willing to put your heart and soul into, synchronicity will take over the parts that you don't quite know how to get to. commit and pay attention :D

for those stressed
SLEEPING ALWAYS WORKS! ;)) there's nothing that's not helped by a good night's sleep.

oh, that's 3. i also often think giving advice ought to be illegal. hehehe.

when fate intervenes

there they were all in a row.

six types of pumps, all winking cheerily at me, in their reduced price glory (from the original P2,400 to P800).

and all of them in smallest size 7.

tata! my size six self went home with the one ream of copy paper that i set out to the mall for :) (and two pens, one pink :P... one must still have one's little material treats)


* * * * *

So.

The role that John-wider-Cusack (hehehe! someone is going to get mad) is best at: the one who was born only to love Her.

The role that Diane-beauty ever-Lane is best at: She the lovable one, whom "lower" men failed to love.

:D

gaga girl

was all set to work earlier, after a happy sandwich that i've been craving for for a week or so (yes, the sandwich is feeling positive affect, so there! hehe!). i was ready, set, go.

but then i got interrupted, and didn't have my space to myself (these things cannot be helped of course because it's not really just my space, just that i had claimed it for my review of lit ;)) ) and i. just. couldn't. wait. to. be. alone. again. and i was dying for it, and finally, i was, and still i didn't couldn't work.

i had taken a break, and bryan was online. and bryan and i are perfectly fine. and today is a non-chatty day for me (in any form or medium except this blog hehe), and online, he, too, was in non-chatty form with me. and that's ok. and i really like how i don't get mad at bryan anymore these days (which means we're good with each other). but then i can't rid my system of this insiduous idea that if you love each other, and especially if you don't see each other that often, then the norm is that you should be talking. this, even if i really didn't feel like it anyway.

and even if i already knew that now and then "in love, alone," is normal. :)

and this, even if i already knew, that if i should get lonely (for some reason or no reason), i should ride it out till the end of its days, so to speak, because that's really the only thing that will cure it anyway, and not him or her or whatever else so i might as well spare people the psychic burden. :)

so i went upstairs, and cried instead.

but now, tita e is online and am happy. lol. and i've just realized something funny funny. ;))

ps. bryan,ilabyu. ;))

you say it best when you say nothing at all

i have nothing much to say :D

1. i miss bryan (hey, bryan! :D)
2. i'm finally updating my virus thing (as we blog)
3. me and joannie were yeheying to each other about that excellent movie ang pagdadalaga ni maximo olivares (yeheying right across the philippines) ... and about the moon too
4. me and duni have been chatting for a few nights now, nice :). am going to be a psychologist when i grow up and my sister is going to be an archaeologist, while my brother who is a pastor, will probably be a pastor with lots of fish :D on the side
5. the librarian was amused that i checked if they were closed yesterday, because my books were due yesterday.
6. i'm starting to write my case study :)
7. i've had a full week (fully sociable week hehe): i saw three movies, had a massage, went to a conference, went to a friend's party, went to an album launching. this is all strange, for me. :P i only do one sociable thing a month! (a lie)
8. i have just about paid all my bills (for this month).
9. we have broadband now but i keep getting kicked off it anyway.
10. in the book flow, psychology of engagement with everyday life, the author said people keep misinterpreting eastern teachings about letting go of goals and desires. such that they become lecherous instead, making any good buddhist's hair stand on end (hahaha this made me laugh). plus lots of buddhists don't have hair.
11. i'm gaining weight again, being too appreciative of food hahaha.
12. it's just that there's lots of people, and lots of love (i feel loved by you gfs and bfs, and fam), and that's why life is full.

certified cuties

this post is to certify that the following people are certified cuties, and specialized knowledge experts on two domains of information (tell you what in a minute). ;))

they are undoubted angels answering to the urgent call for help of crammer vv ;)).
here was my plea:

Dear Cuties,

I have an urgent request for which I am at the panic stage ;)) (assignment is due tom). I need a script on something I know next to nothing about which can be something that I have never done, an experience that I have yet to try, etc, etc. Then am supposed to look for three key informants who are familiar with the target event and therefore possess script knowledge of it.

So here I am, please share with me your script knowledge about:
(i had a plan a and a plan b for just in case i didn't get enough info about a or b, interchangeable btw)
a. how to get semi-secretly but legally married in the Philippines
b. how to take the ro-ro from metro manila to panay island

I am supposed to get you to share with me as complete an account of your knowledge of the event as possible, to include all the script components. Please find in the first box below a sample of a script and its components. Then in the second box, please fill in the script for (a or b).

Thank you so much, libre ko kayo kape. Hehehe!

without telling who answered which :D :P, the following can claim at least a cuppa, and my high-regard and affection:

1. My dad!!!!
2. HB who is very busy but takes the time for me anyway
3. the mother of Gabo another cute heart
4. cris carebear
5. buddha who answered despite his traumas
6. atty erap pa rin
7. old friend peanut :) (i was hazel, remember? lol
8. my other co-Cap ex colleague

THANKS AGAIN! :D

and so i did.

;)) we actually RAN out of the tequila party.

it's been so long since my last tequila party.

it makes me want to throw a tequila party on the occasion of my first anniversary at gleaming.

hmmmmm...

i should go out more often

;))

hahahaha.

i'm becoming somewhat a manul girl to gimiks.

******

it turned out to be a lovely Monday :)

cheers! :)

pa-kiss nga, mga kaibigan :D

*waves magic wand*

I find that I will always meet the thing that I need to know/ read/ write on my forehead for this moment's moment.

Such as Keri Smith's ENOUGH.

(Last week, I 'accidentally' picked up an entire journal issue on qualitative psych research in the library after randomly sitting at the journals room for the first time, just a few days after I thought I needed to find out more about quali research methods in psychology.

On Saturday, I said I will get to watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with the person I ought to see it with--maybe just myself--after having invited four people to watch it with me in the course of the last two weeks, and thought of asking four more, and made non-fixed plans with the Priestess to see it but we have a whole lineup of move to-do's and she already has been to Charlie though she did declare outright she'd watch it again with me :D. So thank you HB :D. And thank you dd.)

So today, this week, anything or some, or all, or none, any of it will be enough.

tucking my useless stalker self firmly under my armpit, i climb into bed

say you were really a beige, but then you were light pink. guess that means you went off-color.

it's been an off-color day. but that's just me. so here i am running around like a heedless headless chick-un on the net, bumping from blog to blog, friends of friends, friends of lovers, ... it is such a small world so if you really have something to hide, better not blog :)

but otherwise, the more the merrier :D

and see you all in the blog afterlife.

sleep.

and you find yourselves humming love songs again and again ;)

yup! you deserve it! you deserve this happiness. :)

me too. am happy for you. :)

rain's gone

i had a grand time :)

i walked a long way almost every day. me, my umbrella, deserted streets, a cloudy sky with a slight drizzle. (i was the cucumber and the rain was the vinegar, and together we made a yummy salad.)

or ice cream on a rainy day.

or noticing the darndest things: the tricycle driver singing a rock love song under his breath, driving me to meet gf in the rain, so we could walk to coffee.

i read lots of stuff.

it just got scary when it rained too hard.

the sixth ticket

willy wonka, i wuv you.

such perfect teeth. such bizarre humor. and the hair cream to lock in the moisture.

hihi.

nice boots too.

a song for my wet red sneakers :P

am on a rainy-days-songs spree. if we can be the best of lovers, yet be the best of friends...

7. HOW DO YOU KEEP THE MUSIC PLAYING?
Music by Michel Legrand
Lyrics by Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman

How do you keep the music playing?
How do you make it last?
How do you keep the song from fading too fast?
How do you lose yourself to someone
And never lose your way?
How do you not run out of new things to say?
And since you know we're always changing
How can it be the same?
And tell me how year after year
You're sure your heart will fall apart
Each time you hear his name?
I know the way I feel for you it's now or never
The more I love, the more that I'm afraid
That in your eyes I may not see forever, forever
If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with every day to make it better as it grows
With any luck then I suppose
The music never ends
I know, the way I feel for you
It's now or never
The more I love, the more that I'm afraid
That in your eyes I may not see forever, forever
If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with every day to make it better as it grows
With any luck then I suppose
The music never ends
