the youth are the hope of the future…

i agree.  our future lies in the hands of the youth today.  i was once a part of that youth, and i’d say i was a good member of that group. 

yesterday, i needed to do grocery after church.  i attended mass in a not-my-usual church due to the heavy and almost endless rain (which will be another post).

i took the jeepney going to the mall and i sat beside 2 high school girls who also attended the same mass i did earlier.  im very sure they’re best of friends.

buzz!

Posted by: michelle on: Thursday, June 11, 2009

ctrl + g… buzzz… ding!
we buzz our ym buddies when they seem to reply a little longer… we buzz so we’d know whether they got disconnected , couldn’t or wouldn’t reply at all…

apart from having a poker face, i also have this poker ear(?)
hahaha i made that term up.

poker ear – seems to not hear, but really does hear

i have the tendency to look like not listening what someone tells me.  my friends think that i don’t listen because my  face reads a talk-to-george sign, or i look like im in trance, with a blank expression.  usually, they remind me by telling me ‘wa ka naminaw noh?‘ and i answer them with whatever they were asking me.

in those accusations, i don’t plead guilty.  when those moments come up, i listen, really.  it just happens that my mind is also processing another thing and tells my face to look dumb. hahaha.

im sure they would disagree to that excuse.  fine! sometimes, i don’t listen.  i let it pass.  i tend to filter the signals that my ear send to my brain.  if it’s not worthy, or it would something that could make me angry or hurt, my brain doesn’t process it.  wait.. i see the connection now… my poker face and my poker ear are related…
hahaha..

because of this talent, nalain si kate nako… i just read her blog entry about it.

so that was why she asked me about unrequited love… tsk tsk tsk…
i feel awful reading her entry.  i didn’t mean to ignore her.  its either i didn’t hear her say something, or my mind was super bothered with depressing and anxious thoughts.

it happened friday, and that was a day that made my mind twist.  maybe when kate was saying something, my mind was already in the middle of calculating the possibilities of me  becoming alone in a group coming july.

and with my worries, i hurt someone.  and it feels bad…

waaaaaaaaaaaaaa

sori kate!!! next time, if you want to talk, do shake me… i might get nervous breakdown if you won’t…. hahahhaha

i owe you ;)

don’t sway

Sway
Bic Runga

Don’t stray, don’t ever go away
I should be much too smart for this
You know it gets the better of me
Sometimes, when you and I collide
I fall into an ocean of you, pull me out in time
Don’t let me drown, let me down
I say it’s all because of you
And here I go, losing my control
I’m practicing your name so I can say it to your face
It doesn’t seem right, to look you in the eye
Let all the things you mean to me
Come tumbling out my mouth
Indeed it’s time to tell you why
I say it’s infinitely true

[CHORUS:]
Say you’ll stay, don’t come and go
Like you do
Sway my way, yeah I need to know
All about you

And there’s no cure, and no way to be sure
Why everything’s turned inside out
Instilling so much doubt
It makes me so tired – I feel so uninspired
My head is battling with my heart
My logic has been torn apart
And now it all turns sour
Come sweeten every afternoon

[CHORUS TWICE]

It’s all because of you
It’s all because of you

Now it all turns sour, come sweeten every afternoon
It’s time to tell you why, I say it’s infinitely true

[CHORUS TWICE]

It’s all because of you
It’s all because of you
It’s all because of you

gift and fruit

Posted by: michelle on: Sunday, May 31, 2009

today is the celebration of the Pentecost.  i attended mass and after the mass, we were encouraged to get a gift from the Holy Spirit near the altar.

ofcourse, i got one and…

gift of the Holy Spirit: knowledge
fruit of the Holy Spirit: patience

i still don’t know why knowledge is the gift i received today.  maybe because i still don’t know.  i have a lot of questions in my heart right now, and i have not found the answers to them yet.  i wanted the gift of wisdom, but since i received knowledge, it should be the one i need.

patience. my motto in life had always been and still is ‘patience is a virtue’.  and patience has been the key to my survival from the roller-coaster ride i’ve had in my life.

with these gift and fruit, im quite excited, at the same time scared, with the challenges i am about to face.  but He will always be by my side holding me. and knowing that alone, i am ready.

i know you’re wondering when

there’s this song i got to know due to my addiction to asiandramas.  one
fanvideo for Devil Beside You used this as a theme.  i loved that video
because aside from the brilliant video edit, i liked how the song told
the story of the video.

i liked the melody (the first thing i notice in a song as usual) so it became an instant favorite from Nickelback.

out of nowhere, the song played in my head yesterday.  i searched for the lyrics and it struck a string in me.  string of emotions…

it hurts

Posted by: michelle on: Tuesday, May 19, 2009

i called in sick for the whole day today.
why?
because i have a bad soar throat, i even think its laryngitis.  it hurts when i swallow.  i can’t enjoy eating and drinking water.  all i know is that when i move my throat, it hurts bad.

i was woken by the pain around 6 am, really early for me coz i wake up around 8 am.  i thought i’d just be a half day absent from work but came 9, i still felt ill.  i just wanted to lay in bed and sleep all day.

can’t read my

Posted by: michelle on: Sunday, May 3, 2009

can’t read my
can’t read my
no he can’t read my poker face
====

i heard my little sister singing this latest song from lady gaga – poker face.
then i remembered my friend actually telling me that i have a poker face.  he said that i always looked placid.  as in putting on a face that doesn’t get affected by anything around me.

well, that time he labeled me that, we were talking about him and his quest for true love.  routine is i ask about the progress of him finding ‘her’ and he answers more lovesick stuff especially high school – he had this high school love he hardly got over with.  then came a point when he was able to ask about my own love life or if i even have someone i like/d – specifically high school.

‘the’ day when

Posted by: michelle on: Tuesday, April 28, 2009

just a quick one..

its such a shame that i have not a single entry for this month when so so so muc happened the past 20 days.

but my mind is flooded with april 30 being just 2 days away…
what’s in that date? a life-changing event will happen.

im not sure what the outcome will be.  all i know is that im not ready.  im quite scared and nervous coz i want things to turn out fine.

but im confident in Him.  that He will equip me with the things i need.

there are things that i dream, but what He wills shall be done.

good luck and God bless to me ;)

patience: tried and tested

Posted by: michelle on: Wednesday, March 11, 2009

my pc crashed the other day.  i asked my sister what software she installed before she left for work and said that she just checked friendster.  of course my initial reaction was getting mad and hung up on her.

i tried repairing the xp installation to get past the trouble of reinstalling all your drivers and applications you already have.  but windows prompted an error like “The hard disk may be too full or damaged…” which means, i needed to format and reinstall a fresh xp.  while i was doing the hassle of all the installations, i realized that getting mad at my sister won’t do any good.  i don’t have any choice so there’s not a point in staying mad at her.  on a brighter side, i get to delete the apps that i told her not to install.  now i can tell her to avoid installing just anything she finds on the net.

anyway, back to the re-doing the setting up of the pc, i installed only a few apps so that in case the problem is with hardware, my efforts won’t be wasted.  even if i got to work today, i was worried about my pc xp getting corrupted again.

when i got home, i immediately checked if the pc was ok.  the booting was sllloooowww which is odd coz before my system got crazy, it booted fast.  my friend piolo said that it should be a problem of my hard disk since i already did a reformat.  i downloaded a hard disk diagnostic tester and found out that my hard disk really had an error.  i was soooo worried that my hard disk is doomed forever.  so i patiently googled all possible tips on how i can fix the problem with the least risk there is to it.   and usually, the tips come in long threads and articles about what must be done.  i did have a lot of patience reading through the sites i came accross.  and thank God the errors were repairable.

now, the booting is back to normal, and my hard disk is safe.  for the meantime at least.  if i weren’t patient enough, im sure i would’ve bought a new hard disk.

lesson learned: if symptoms persist, or if something goes wrong, try patience.  you can save up to 100% of your money . heheheh

another nonsense post… pasensya na, happy lang jud ko nga naayo ra akong hard disk.. hahahahah

finally

Posted by: michelle on: Monday, February 23, 2009

i was and always been a fan of the long love story of my good friend shanta.  i mean long as in it took them 9 years before finally getting married.

i just came home from their wedding celebration which i should say a very happy one especially for the bride and the groom.

i remembered shanta always missing kyle since they’ve never been together for more than 3 months(if i do remember it right…).  and i’m sure these two are very much thankful to whoever gave birth to the concept of the internet, because when you hear shanta’s hands on her keyboards, i think 90% of it is spent on replying to kyle’s email.  and then i asked her once how it feels seeing kyle when they see each other after long months, seeing how her eyes glow, you know she’s feeling the kilig everytime.

well, hearing how they’ve always been and how they made the long distance relationship work, i admired their love.  theirs is a story that makes me believe that there really is true love. sadly, not many people find it.  and when it is found, its not going to be easy.  but because its true, it can always endure anything — time, space, pain, antyhing.

char!

seriously, i am truthfully joyful that they are now mr and mrs kyle tiu.  congratulations shants :) finally…
