I want to blog, really. I love to write. I have a million thoughts on my mind I want to share. I want to express my opinions without interruption. I want to make posts with pictures. I want to speak without making a sound. So many possibilities with just a click or a flick of my fingertips.
But sometimes, I think it’s selfish. No offence to anyone and everyone who has a blog. This only applies to me. Sometimes, when I sit in front of the screen, I feel like I’m wasting my time typing instead of actually doing something, you know? Life… is too much for me sometimes — Not that I’m depressed/weepy or that kind of shiz, I just really have a lot of responsibilities at home and school, and that means sacrificing the things I want to do with the stuff I need to do. I have to prioritize, and blogging is at the bottom of my list of priorities everyday. :]
So however I want to let my friends know how I prepared for that big event, how I went to this gathering, how my younger sister was able to achieve something, how I was in my finals, how a movie registered on my brain cells, how a book intrigued/destroyed all logical thinking, my recent hospitalization or a funny incident I experienced.. I just can’t seem to find the time or effort to do it.
Except for now, which I am very happy about.
I have to go in a few minutes and close this window, but just wanted to say these things (kind of a list of things to do, lol.):

Wow! A new post!
It’s December 10 today. 1 day before the ADSA X-mas Party. 5 days before Simbang Gabi, waking up at 330 am for 9 straight days. 6 days before my Eco102 Long Exam. 8 days before the X-mas Break. 14 days before Christmas. 21 days before it’s 2009.
Speaking of 2009… I love reading horoscopes. Chinese or Western. It’s like a drug. I don’t remember any of it after actually reading, but whenever I do read, it feels fun and amusing and it makes me wonder how people actually make or write the stuff. Ambeth Ocampo, Histo165 professor and Philippine historian once shared a funny story about it, but anyway… My Mom and I were going from one bookstore to the next in Greenhills looking for books I needed for Drama and Reading the Romance classes, a planner, and a German-English dictionary for a Kris Kringle, when we stubled upon this Chinese Feng Shui 2009 planner. It had little horoscopes included for every month of each Chinese zodiac. Naturally, I looked at mine, and lo and behold! In 2009, the year of the Dragon would:
a. the bad news: be prone to accident and injury, sickness, and have a certain particularly disastrous month; hence, must keep a low profile
b. the good news: can conceive/produce an heir! XD … or get married! XD
Since I have no plans of achieving both good news above any time soon, I’ll have to find some other things to look forward to next year. Like, say, being a College Senior and Graduating in 2010!

I’m temporarily crawling out of hiatus to write this. Haha. Sorry for the non-update. You know life. It gets to me, and suddenly I can’t write. Plus my mom had to undego an operation, and things had to be taken care of, trips to the hospital, doctors, check-ups, and other stuff in between. So there. Thank God she’s ok, and we’re all ok.
Though I am crossing my fingers if I’ll be able to enroll at the Ateneo on time. Hee.
I was tagged to post 7 truths about me. The rules are simple:
Mention the person who tagged you and create a link back to them.
Pick 10 others you would like to get to know better.
Let them know you’ve tagged them by leaving a comment on their blog.
And don’t forget to give them the rules.
1. My brain is most active from 11 pm up until the sun completely rises. I have no idea why, but it started in my late freshman year in college. I couldn’t do paperwork during the afternoon, so I was always cramming late at night until wee hours in the morning. I tried and tried working on my papers from 5 to 10 pm, but my brain couldn’t process or produce anything significant. So I just put my hands up and gave up trying. LOL. I know, it seems kind of bad for my health and a killer considering my class schedule, but I managed and I actually produced more creative work. I can now stay awake for more than 24 hours straight! Adrenaline/Stress Rush! Haha. Or maybe 2 or 3 hours of sleep will do if I really need it. Powernaps, if I can squeeze it in. Hehe. Anyway, after staying up all week, I usually crash on Saturdays or Sundays and sleep for about 10 to 12 hours.
2. I love surfing the internet. I could stay in front of the screen the whole night, surfing, surfing and surfing and riding whatever. I have to admit, though, my guilty pleasure amongst all guilty pleasures while surfing the net (aside from reading HP fanfiction) is… reading about Hollywood Gossip. Ugh. Lame. There, I said it! But seriously, it’s amazing how millions and millions of information is just a click away, at the tip of your fingertips. It’s up to you how to use it. In Science and Society class, my prof gave us an exam on how we’d explain a quote by someone (I forgot! Sorry!), alluding to the power of technology, and to paraphrase: To man is given the key to the gates of Heaven; together with that, he’s given the key to the gates of Hell. I actually creeped myself out while I was explaining it, and giving examples. Hahaha.
3. I’m a technophobe. But I would LOVE to have the most advanced laptop in the whole wide world someday – though i don’t know what it (the most advanced laptop at the present time) is called, exactly. Haha. Told you I wasn’t techie.
4. I love my parents and my younger sister to bits – the good with the bad. I got my artistic/outgoing qualities from my mom, and my being reserved/timid from my dad. My younger sister is my worst enemy and my best friend. We’re like Blair Waldorf and Serena van der Woodsen. LOL. I have an older sister, and brother, but it said “seven truths,” so, there ya go. Not that I wouldn’t die for all of them ’cause I’m playing favorites, but you get the point. Haha.
5. I love to dance. You know how people have ambitions and some have dreams? Well, being successful and the best at my career of choice is my ambition, dancing my heart out in front of everyone I know is my dream. People don’t expect me to dance (well), because I don’t “look” like I dance, but if an oppurtunity presents itself, I dream to melt their faces off with my dancing. Like I said, it’s a dream. Hee. Along with being a director of a critically-acclaimed movie.
6. I have a mental list of things (yes, things!) I want to do before I turn 35. Like bunjee jump, sky dive, go out of the country, visit all the virgin islands of the Philippines, eat at a five-star all you can eat buffet (like The Spiral), be bridesmaid or a maid-of-honor, get married, go on a wild honeymoon, have twins or a son first, write in a magazine, work for television and entertainment, party like there’s no tomorrow, shop ’till I drop, donate millions to charity, attend a ball, experience hot perfect sex with the man of my destiny, and all that crazy adventurous and romantic stuff. Preferably with someone equally carzy, romantic and adventurous, and smart/intelligent. Hehe.
7. I have a lot of secret truths. Heh. And I chose the most random to be written above. So sue me.
I have yet to complete my list of people I’ll be tagging. Haha. Edit next time.
My brother is having car troubles. Tsk, tsk.
Ciao!
