| This is soo freaky. |
You're Katherine "Kiki" Harrison
(Julia Roberts - 'America's Sweethearts')
Always the shoulder to cry on, you try to juggle
the lives of those you care about while
battling with your own. You have a beautiful
smile, a wonderful sense of humor and charming
wit, but often go unnoticed. Too many times
others get the spotlight, but that's ok by you.
You don't need the limelight, you just want
that special someone to recognize you for the
loveable and loving person you are.
You're booksy, artsy, and creative. You prefer
toned down, subdued classic clothing to express
your personality.
You do have a hard time expressing yourself
outwardly, and often turn to some 'thing' for
comfort, while you carry the brunt on your
shoulders.
You're ambitious and professional and succeed at
everything you tackle.
All in all, you're the rock.

| Yada, yada, yada |
The past days have been a mix of both joy and sorrow.. And maybe NOt exactly sorrow, I exaggerated that a bit. Let's just say that I had my share of trying times.:) But now, they're all marching their way out the door! Weee!
Tsk. tsk. tsk. I don't know what to do with my hair! Geez, to those who aren't Zel-acquainted, from that sentence alone you may have the idea that I could be the average walking kikay kit. Ding-dong, wrong impression. I am positively sure that I'm gonna fall out of the Zel-acquainted masses' list of vain people. Not that I don't care at all, I just don't make a huuugge deal out of those things to the point of having what, three shades of lip, cheek tint or whatever thing a kikay girl could possibly have stored deep in the recesses of her three-inch tall handbag. Personally, the scent of a newly bathed person still tops my list.:)
Yeah, I know, I zoomed out of course again. Well, back to my hair. It's freakishly long na now that Jeona's threatening to cut it. Tipong, "Zel.. one night, just give me one night and your hair's done." And she was serious enough to mention it for like five times already, with the occassional playful tug. I have no aydeeya what to do with it kasi. I'm debating on whether to just have it styled or, add curls to the its uber straightness for a change. The only problem is if the icky hair curling chemical's gonna be strong enough to last more than a week cause looking back to grade school days I remember our helper using rollers on my hair and keeping it overnight just so they'd achieve curly locks but to her dismay and everyone else's, the curls just last for a couple of hours and they're back to their old straight self again. So there, I may be doomed to throwing money for a two-hour curly 'do.
One of my friends is leaving for Korea in less than two friggin' weeks. I'm so sad.:( Huhuhu. Seriously, I've known her since I was nine and a half years old and I've never spent more than a week apart with her for the last three years. I am soo gonna miss her. But I'll save her story for another post. When she's away na and she can't come back here as fast as she would want to in order to kick me.:)
By the by, as Jeona and I were trudging along Katipunan yesterday I decided to add to my phone's collection of random shots. I wanted to take photos of the avenue itself so we had to go up the overpass beside Starbucks. From the looks of it, my phone's seem to have done a pretty good job. Here they are:
 
*Sigh. I live for incoherence. Hahaha* |

| Gah.. |
irregardless of the happy day i had awhile ago, i just need to let this out:
although i hate the mere thought of being apathetic, sometimes, it just is the most convenient way to handle things..
yes, i might change my mind in five seconds but for now, let me be.
emotions suck. |

| THE amiable ex |
ex-es. aka former friends, date-mates (?), or the people with whom you shared a part of your life for, hopefully, a definite span of time.
for the sake of 3/4 endless discussions and 1/4 boredom, this particular brand of individuals can be categorized into three types: 1. ex-es who turn out to be your enemies; 2. indifferent ex-es; 3. and lastly, amiable ex-es.
well, the third type usually picks our interest the most. point of contention being its existence. some, well okay, most of my friends believe that such a thing does not exist. disbelief goes as far as saying, "'yung mag-usap kayo for under ten minutes, pwede pa, nagsasalita ka pa eh. may ngiti ngiti pa sigurong kasama. pero 'pag lampas nun, iinit na ulo mo, wala na." that strong, eh?
i, personally, thought that such a thing couldn't exist. why? first and foremost, cos i wasn't born with sky-high disassociation skills. thus, it's not easy as splicing the tape of your memory and removing the whole "we" part.
but then again, maybe it does. a close friend of mine gave it a shot and well, i think, almost succeeded. have to keep in mind that this particular task requires two people for it to materialize.
"so it's possible?", you say. i say, it just might be.:) |

| when a title won't really matter |
bu-bumm!
You got to give a little..
Take a little..
And let your poor heart..
Break a little..
That's the story of.. That's the glory of love!
You've got to laugh a little..
Cry a little..
Until the clouds..
Roll by a little..
That's the story of.. That's the glory of love!
in a sea of faces, there will always be one that attracts you the most. the same goes for the heart-fitting craze i mentioned some time ago. and, i never expected it to be anything but.
indeed, witnessing true love is a breathe of fresh air.:) |

| labels |
..can go both ways. they can do you good or do you bad.
i have learned that when you take a label as something you buy or pay for, ethics ensures that you get something in return for the higher amount that you shell out.
but when it takes the form of a tag, a pseudonym, or a nick.. you have a totally different story.
instead of receiving something that is wanted and expected, you get something that's pretty much either a compliment or an insult.
as much as i do not want to, indifference is a skill i have yet to learn, and to practice.
i guess it's a pretty important element in today's world survival kit.

| my mother's daughter |
taddah! i finally finished my new layout. although not everything came from me (refer to: thank you's), i pretty much did a lot of modifications. oh well, i soo like it.:)
----
today was a rather haaay.. day.
i almost died this afternoon. seriously, it felt like an inch away from death-dom. as airah put it, "talk about biglaan."
some history. about five months ago, the same situation happened. it was freaky. made my valentine's day (un)memorable. after getting two of my best friends in the whole world worried, and panicky, and then worried again, i did not do anything. why? cos the next months turned out to be normal and being the scared-of-the-doctor girl that i am, shoved the (un)memorable occassion at the far corners of my memory. also, my grandma told me that my mom used to have it too. in fact, she was always rushed to the hospital for it. talk about hereditary sick genes.
and no shit, it came back to remind me.. although the pain-meter said it was far worse, the scene didn't hit it off that bad since i was able to learn from the last time that i should tell my companion immediately. so there, it wasn't much of a scene.
scared. that's what i'm feeling right now. promised good ol'd friends that i would inform my parents, and that i would go get a major check-up. oh no..
what if this was already something serious?
*sniff* *sniff*
P.S.
Mommy, you remember the way i always point out that you don't take care of yourself (i.e. go for check-ups) until it becomes way too serious? i should be scolded too. big time. and i will let you have your share of it once i get home. |

| (un)bearable unpredictability |
life is soo unpredictable.
today you might feel low and not care at all.
tomorrow might find you on top and you're not even half-excited as you thought you would.
time flies so fast you want to make the call to just "freeze" it.
memories are for keeps whether you want them to or not.
choices are just good for the "to do's" and the "will i?s", not the "have been's"
but sometimes, sometimes you just know that you don't have a choice.
here, you turn to fate. or destiny. better yet, to God.
if none of these applies, better take the next flight to Mars.
