Life is Good.

My folks came back on Wednesday bearing gifts, mainly the biggest bar of chocolate I have ever seen and a big bag of nougat. It was nice to not have to take care of the house an to finally have my allowance back. I know I haven't really been writing much. I think it's got something to do with the fact that I am pretty much problem free. Oh alright, not exactly problem free but, well lets just say that I haven't had a major difficulty in anything yet. It's pretty much smooth sailing. Thank goodness. Also, I seem to have gotten pretty good marks for everything... well that is, except for Organic Chemisty, for which I barely got a pass. So far the only thing I've got to worry about are mundanely stressful things like school work and budgeting my allowance and oh running into people from my past lives. Yep for the first time, I can finally say that I've gotten a hang of thing called life (or something like it at least). Life IS good!

Hols are ending!!

It is Sunday and no doubt the end of a 2 week vacation that I didn't really enjoy. I wish I'd made more of the two weeks than I did. Sigh, I am serously and not so secretly jealous of Krish, Nica and my folks for being able to go out of the country for their vacation. Sigh, out of all the people that live in this house, I'm the only one who wasn't able to travel. Sigh. My parents are at Australia, I hope they get me something.... it better be good! Friday was awesome though, I got a chance to go out with my Krish and Amy. It was pretty cool. We ate at Clark Quay and got into a bit of a fuss when it came to paying the bill. It was hillarious. After a very expensive meal, which sucked , we walked around for a while, snapping pictures and acting like a bunch of crazy tourists. Some pics: Note the fact that there are only 2 photos with me in it... that's coz I was the one behind the camera! I have to say, it was nice to hang with some older people for a change. Anyways

Movies... Chick Flicks

In my free time, usually sometime between midnight and the crack of dawn I watch movies and well, I have found The Hottie and The Nottie starring Paris Hilton hilarious! Sure, Paris Hilton plays a key role in this strange version of the West Side Story but I have to admit, her actually participating in this movie to poke fun at her image is very admirable. It is a chick flick and by all means, if you are a straight guy, you might not enjoy this movie so much. Of course, there are sightings of the porn star nearly in the buff so that might keep you sitting in your seats till the middle of the movie. I give it 3 stars out of 10 Another movie I enjoyed was What Happens in Vegas . The adorable Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz played the lead roles and it was fairly entertaining. Yes my friends it is another chick flick. It is very funny, sappy and well,s ad to say hopelessly predictable at times. I'd give it 5 stars. I watched Over Her Dead Body last night and I enjoyed the kooky

this could be it!

This could so be the start of something new! I can't stop smiling. Sana this is it na talaga. Can you imagine some random mundane thing happening, leading up to...well I don't know what. It is all so weird. I've had an uber good day.

Random Rants

No more negative thoughts. I know I shouldn't stay inside my head too long, I need to keep busy and whether I like to admit it or not, I miss school. My cousin is packing, she's going back to the Philippines. Wish I could join her. Anyways, went window shopping today. Now, I have lots of things to save for... stressful. Sigh. What ever happened to, "always look on the bright side of life"? Bright Side: Lotsa Birthdays this week and last. In case I haven't greeted you, Happy B Day! Peng, wherever you are, Hope this birthday is as sweet as the last! Miss you! The OC project MEETING has proved to be excruciating to organise... I wonder how I got stuck with the job and well, we have FINALLY set a time to meet. Another thorn out of my side. The holidays are here! I can wake up at 2pm almost everyday! Erm, my Folks are going out of town... don't know if that's a good thing.

Honesty

I care too much I wish I didn't care so much People I love always seem to hurt me I wish I didn't love you so much I think too much and say too little I can't say what I think I know that it will hurt you By doing so, hurting me I am afraid to be vulnerable You've let me down more than once I've cried too much over spilt milk I can't bear thinking about spilling some more But it is inevitable I am human and so are you We all make mistakes As open as my mind is, I know yours are as closed Misunderstandings and misinterpretations Skew Our lives I know what I have to do, but I just don't have the heart to do it. I wish you knew. I am not perfect and I embrace every single character flaw that I have I wish you would.

Dissapointment

I hate it when people are disappointed with me. I go along with what they want so that they don't GET dissapointed . I get so sick and tired of doing something I hate so I give up. After all of the work trying to please them, they are still dissapointed. Is there really no way out of this draining cycle?!

The Box

I am bound to act on rules which limit my actions but do not limit my thoughts and opinions. These rules are constructed to form a perfect little shield, a perfect little lie around what is in actuality a real person, a personality which is not made to fit into a box. Sometimes the thing that is me has to be squeezed into a box, packaged and ready for consumption like the orange in the juice carton. By no means is forcing a square peg into a round hole painless. The odd bits and ends have to be snipped off or tucked in to fit. Against my wishes, through personality modification (aka life and its antagonists), parts of me are shaved off to satisfy the people who think they know better. I am sick of the box. I am tired of being less that what I want to be. I want to break loose and be the ugly, imperfect person that I am. The Id needs to have a say. I want to have a say in what kind of monster I become. Everyone has a box they have to deal with. I'm getting the scissors. A Perfect l

Pareidolia

Fascinating. It caught my eye. I know I should so be studying but well... I can't seem to stop looking for Pareidolia online. Its mind boggling! For those of you who do not know what it is, a Pareidolia is an ordinary object or sound that is perceved to have some meaning. For example, you were lying awake in your bed. The wind rustled the papers on your desk and you thought you heard someone calling your name. Its when you play a song backwards and you hear coherent sentences being formed by a robotic sounding voice (Back-masking) Its when you are about to put a potato chip in your mouth and you notice that it has a face. A famous example of this is the face seen on pictures of the Martian surface. Its supposed to be caused by our brain's talent in recognizing patterns such as faces and sounds. Our brain wants things to make sense, it groups things together to make sense out of it hence, a series of little dots could look like a picture etc. Check out this link... a picture of
