It's a rainy august afternoon :)

I can't explain how much I love it when it rains.
It's not a jumpy exciting kinda love... more like a very laid-back, soothing, quiet, personal kinda love. :)

Kim is out at ISN right now... so I'm home alone.. enjoying a hot cup of soup and browsing pictures on the net. Daddy went to pick Edmund up from the airport. Hope he brings back souveniers!! :D

I know my blog's kinda dead right now. hehe.
Havent been spending much time in front of the comp for leisure purposes. Only use it when I have projects and work to do. And when I'm done, I would like to look at something other than the comp screen.

Just started my final semester at college and I'm taking only 2 subjects this sem. Just 2 left! Then im done :D
Doing my final Interior Design Project. Graduating project already. Shit.
and Black & White Photography. have always loved photography :)
but at this photography class, we're going old skool. Taking pictures with film cameras and then developing them on our own. In the darkroom. Damn scary weii i tell u. Everytime I'm there I'll think of the movie 'Shutter'. :O

Anyways..... this blog is dead and I'm gonna burry it soon.
Will be starting a new one on Wordpress and it will be more of an art/design kinda blog and not a personal ranting one.
Will keep u guys posted!
have an awesome day. enjoy the rain :)

P1 Wimax is a beauty at times but at times like today... it's such an ass.
In life, the only thing that is permanent, is change.

Life's been alright for me. :)

and so will be the rest of the week. these 2 kidsss... aiyoyo.... havocc...
But I have no choice =.=

The customer is always right :) as well as the management, your boss, your supervisor.
Succumed to The Man. ('School of Rock')

I've been sleeping real late lately. I just love the peace and quiet of the night. like right now :)
the weather is perfect today because it rained this evening. i can leave the windows open and not turn on the a/c tonight. just lie down on my bed and look out at the sky :)
just wish i had a better view from my room tho. and more stars :)
and no aliens :O seriously i believe they exist. u might think im crazy but its ok. what we've seen with our own eyes its really hard to explain to people and not have them think that we're freaks.
so just let it be. not trying to find an explaination. or an answer. just let it be.... :P

I almost finished one whole batang of Oreos cookies. It tastes sooo good! Mmmm mmmm.
and I'm soo hyper now. Sugar rush.

I love listening to people's stories about them falling in love :)
i just heard one just now ;)
im so happy for u girl and i really hope things work out between u both.
the start of it gives u butterflies in ur tummy and when he smiles at u it makes u dizzy.
not every relationship starts that way but if u are given the chance to experience it like that, take it as a gift. :)
becausee... damn... it feels so good! hehe.

It was a very rewarding experience :)

The greatest entertainer that ever lived.

Michael Jackson passed away last Friday.

I was about 5 or 6. When I first saw his Dangerous video tape.
My dad borrowed it from the video store and I watched it with him. Little did I know, how much that one video tape, could influence my life.
I couldnt keep my eyes off Michael, the way he danced, the way his music stirred whatever I had inside me at that young age... I didnt understand what his songs were about at that time but the music made me tap my feet and i liked it! :D
I got so hooked on that one video... I think i made my dad extend the due date of that tape and I watched it everyday when I get home from kindergarten.
My mom was so worried about me being too obsessed with MJ and the way he danced... because I was trying to immitate him :P haha. She took it away from me.... and the sadness i felt at that time was sooo intense.... I can still picture that exact moment in my head right now... I cried and cried...

My dad had to return the tape... :( but then!! he bought me a new one! :D The "Moonwalker" video. And this time it was mine! I was sooo happy I watched it everyday... again. haha. I had that tape till the time when video players were slowly being replaced by VCD players. When my video player broke down and my dad got the VCD player, that was the last of my MJ days.

That was when I moved on to listening to other boybands and Spice Girls... BSB, 911, Nsync, The Moffatts, TLC.... all thanks to my cousin, Ivy. :P hehehe. she was my educator in pop music. We drooled over Nick Carter together. haha! Those were the days.

I grew up in a family that is very musically inclined. And thank God for that :) I would play around the hall.. listening to my dad playing his guitar and singing... BeeGees, Santana, and all the rest from that era... but none other stood out and captured my attention like MJ did. Even as a child.

I wanted to be like him when I grow up. To sing and dance. To make people bob their heads and tap their feets. He was my greatest influence in pop music. He touched my life in a way like no other musician can. When I heard he passed away, it hit me so hard it felt like I was loosing an old best friend. Someone that I've chucked in the background for awhile while I thrive on new friends such as... ahemm... Jason Mraz, John Mayer.... and the rest who lives on MTV.

He was and will always be my inspiration to be a musician.
His craft as a musician is and will always be the finest the world has ever seen.
He might have made a couple of mistakes in life here and there but hey.. we're all only human.
What matters most is the heart. And his heart lived to entertain.
RIP the greatest popstar in the world. The reigning King of Pop. Your throne is far within reach from any other popstar wannabes out there. U're the one and only....

Michael Jackson.

the question.

What is 'meaning in life' to u?
I have been attending RCIA for a few weeks now and that was the question SisterPat brought forward to us the last session. :)
so just thought of sharing my thoughts here with u guys who still read my DEAD blog. :P hehehe.

Life is something we all have in common no matter who we are, where we are, how rich, how poor, what we do for a living, race, religion, culture... etc.
What sets us apart is how we chose to live it (if we have the priviledge to choose), or rather how life itself unfolds in the palm of our hands...

Some live their whole lives trying to find a meaning but never can find.
You work hard, plan for the future, find stability. That is very very important. Survival.
As you grow older, you find that u are bearing more responsibilities which comes with family, children, workplace and everything that circulates around your life. Everything demands more of u. U can't run away from that. No one can run away from responsibilities.

Everyone in a way, is searching for a meaning in life.
The purpose.
The reason we go about doing what we do everyday.... The hours stuck in the STUPID STUPID STUPID traffic, working your ass off, studying for exams squeezing every ounce of 'smart-ness' left in your brain so that u can ace a test.... why do we do all these stuff??
A good answer would be.... "I want to be successful." or "Life is short and I want to make the best of it."

It is very good to be ambitious and wanting to improve yourself and live a successful life but dont mistaken being successful or contented with knowledge and finances to 'having a meaningful life'.

I've been a very confused person(hehe :P) when it comes to choosing a path in life that I would eventually take. You cannot keep going one way and look the other, "oh! that way looks better..." and turn around and try the other. That way, u'll never get anywhere. Always stuck at the crossroads. Back at the beginning. I'm still working on it btw... ;)

But one thing I'm very sure of. Living my live meaningfully/to the fullest, personally, doesn't rely on any of those paths that I would choose to take. Or what I would be 'when i grow up'. Or how knowledgeable I am. Or how well I do in college. Or how much I would be earning. No matter where I am, or what I do.... the reason I am living is because of LOVE. (yes... yess... very cheesy... haha.)
But yea for real...
Love for nature, civilization and the universe.
Love for the relationships and friendships that I have. Family, friends.
Love for music.
Love for art.....
These are the things that keep my heart and my soul pumpin.
If I was stripped off every materialistic belonging i have, I will still have all these things that I love. It is all around me. Tho relationships are hard to call... but u'll know who loves u in return then.

I will be a responsible person and go through the SUCKY JAMS (if i have to but hoping not to...) to get to work in the future so that I can support my parents/family because I LOVE THEM.

I will stop throwing trash onto the streets and recycle more even though it is more time consuming because I LOVE NATURE.

I will practice the guitar every night till my fingers bleed, I will keep writing songs, I WILL NOT DOWNLOAD SONGS ANYMORE AND BUY ORIGINAL CDS IF NOT I WONT LISTEN TO IT AT ALL UNLESS IF IT IS PLAYED ON THE RADIO OR ON YOUTUBE because I LOVE MUSIC & IT'S INDUSTRY.

I will work my butt off now to earn enough cash so that I can be with you during winter because I LOVE YOU.

My dear friends, so the question is....

What is meaning in life to u?
