-- is a damn lame excuse.
i don't know what has gotten into me when i decided to watch a very annoying tv show a while ago.
"kahit alam niyang mali yung ginagawa niya .. [blah blah]..kasi siya yun e." said one.
WHATEVER.
"being yourself" does not give you and anyone a damn license to do bad things because you are just being you. even if the public demands to see the real you, surely the 'real' is changeable, isn't it? change for the better. don't just stick to your old bad character just because "everyone loves a rebel". wake up! we do not build monuments for rebels. oh, and even if you have one, you can trust me not to lay my eyes on it.
hey bro! give the kids a favor; give them proper education, not the career that they're longing for.
P.S.
Sorry for the blunt entry. Nagpapakatotoo lang ako. lol.

stuck-up brain
This is what I hate every vacation: Learning less. not only the bookish and academic learnings, but even the practical ones. i dunno, but my brain seems to function slow during vacation. i couldn't even understand a simple statement! damn. and my logic seemed to go down the acceptable level. namahinga ang utak ko! haha.
i still have roughly two weeks to exercise my brain and get back its normal comprehension rate.
i should:
refrain from surfing the net that much.
read some levelheaded books. (suggest some, please?)
exercise my logic. (deb, i am begging you. help!) haha.

mother's day
This mother's day, i'll give my mom:a simple present made with my sister.
a break from all the things she needs to do at home.
a rest from all her obligations.
a cake. (hoping i could buy one)..
a hug, and some more love.
the world could reject us, friends may betray us, we could turn nasty and our fathers may not accept us back, but at the end of the day, we'll all realize that we have no one to run home to, but our moms.
"Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own. "

VANITY
VANITY according to Microsoft Word Dictionary means:
1. excessive pride, especially in personal appearance.
2. something somebody is vain about.
3. futility
4. something futile.
Also, according to Microsoft Word Thesaurus, the word vanity is associated to the following terms:
pride, narcissism, self-importance, conceit, arrogance, egotism and airs.
after finding all of these out, one word enetered my mind -- "ouch!" e kasi naman, i will be the worst hypocrite in town if i would say that i am not vain, because i am. :(
Girls take the majority of the members of the Vanity club. But i wont deny that i've met a fair number of vain gentlemen. Ang sagwa nga e. But then, girl or boy, it doesnt matter coz we all belong to the same fair. we are vain.
I have had plenty of time this vacation to reflect on a lot of stuffs in my life, and the most recent that i've reflect upon was about this. And i've realized that if i could not totally isolate myself from excessive vanity, the least that i could do is to avoid and lessen it.
Why?
"Vanity is not a crime"-- a well-agreed statement from someone i know. But excessive vanity, is an oh-no for my Family. It's not wrong, but i so well doubt that excessive love for one's self does not glorify God. It doesnt make Him happy. Jesus did the most selfless act so that I could be saved so why should I, a child of God, be so self-centered?
Rice crisis, energy crisis, inflation, global warming, corruption, poverty alleviation. Relative to these problems, my worries about my dry hair is evidently nonsense. I feel so stupid fussing about it. Ofcourse i dont have to be a total environmentalist-slash-activist and forget about myself but i do need to stop being self-centered.
Too much pride for one's appearance is pride per se. Hadn't Jesus taught us how to be humble? Whatever God has blessed us with, we do not have to over-flaunt it. We are not here to please the world. It's God that we ought to please.
I've spent seventeen long years focusing on myself. I've wasted too much time and money for no one but moi, and i just cant live like this anymore. I've exerted way too much effort living up to the standards of this world, spent too much time pleasing people, and now i say, "I'M DONE WITH THIS."
It's time to live the rest of my life for God. I dont belong in this ruined, sunken, fallen world. This body that i've taken too much care of will eventually fade, wilt and die. God has stored nothing but the best in eternity, and that's what i look forward to!
And if someone will say to me, "you're so vain!", i am looking forward to a time that i could proudly answer, "i am not vain! but yeah, i was."

2.75: the center of distraction
i just dont get it. i really dont. 2.75 in english 101B! how could that have happened? that's just so low. i mean, it's not that its not possible for me to get grades as low as that, but the 2.75 in english isn't just reasonable. i have high prelim and final exam grades, i passed all the requirements, and i took all the quizzes and seatworks. judging by the grade that i've got, it's as if i almost failed my requirements -- which is not true.
most of my blockmates had that low grades too. some got ditched out of the deans list because of it. unjust. it's like all our efforts of rushing that thesis paper because of innumerable absences didn't just paid off! ouch.
i'm so not gonna take this for granted.
