A Brief Lamentation of Sorts

My friend said I lose weight, good grief. However I have been binging since last week..arrggh.

Binging and sleeping - what an evil pair.

I want to go the gym and work out, but i don't have much time for that. Maybe I should exercise often. Walking is a good way to exercise, and can lift the spirits too. I want to have curves to-die-for, ha ha ha.

And i just can't stop binging. Phhbbt!


Things to remember that make me smile:

1. Hecky Poo.
2. The world is a beautiful place.
3. Summer.


Fell better, everyone! Have a goodie weekend!

10th Monthsary

Just thought I stop in and update by letting you all know that it's our 10th Monthsary. Yay!

It has also come to my attention that romantic relationships do really come before all others and there is no reason to assume otherwise.

And today, my heart really flops around in my chest as strong as a fish out of the water and my lungs flop like the wings of a cherub. Ooohhh.. it's divine!

Still Feeling "Spesh" Despite All That

My body hurts. And there is this stinging pain in my stomach like crazy. It was doing this little off and on. But a couple of days ago was worse, I can barely move and walk at all. Tears were just pouring out, and it was terrible. I hope I will be ok soon.

On a brighter note, I've been rediscovering myself on so many levels. It's beautiful...I feel beautiful. It's been a long time since I've been able to say that about myself and actually mean it.

Summer is finally nice, I want to be outside as much as possible. Sunshine and sweetness also make me happy. Does that make me a creature of light? Oh well.. I'm a sun-girl, after all.

Any plans for the weekend? Hec is going out with his cousins tonight, and I think I will be getting more sleep, as i have been deprived of sleep lately. I have plans on Sunday, but I'm not telling. :) Hope Ya'll have a great weekend!

Rant of the day:
I seriously work with the most idiotic and unsympathetic people EVER!

Stress - The New Kind of Diet

I beg to differ
Make me an offer...
Warm summer rain?

I'm still going to stick on my decision.

Before you all say something about me not needing to or how I can't eat enough types of food as it is. But wait. Read on. This is not a food diet. (I like food too much and being "sick" means there is a ton of stuff I can't eat..So don't fret, I'm not trying to starve myself!)

A diet, figuratively, means cutting down on something right? [this is bypassing the fact that it also means a council in the former roman empire and a legislative body in Japan]. Well, in that case I'm going on a stress diet...I'm cutting stress out of my daily life. That's it, I'm done with it.

Easier than it sounds, but I have heard diets are hard, so...y'know I'm going to try and stick to this one.

See, stress is what's causing the majority of my issues; the apathy, the distorted view of myself, the general lack of doing anything constructive. It IS also making me sleep badly, sometimes feel disorientated and have a general lack of desire to move. This could also be attributed to boredom.

So instead of groaning I am going to make a positive start on it...tomorrow :p , but really, I am, I have a load of stuff going on this month of April which means I will have very little spare time.

That aside, Hec is with me giving all his support. Though we hardly hang out together than usual, he still picks me up from work everyday. And that makes me a happy bunny. I really appreciate everything that he has been doing for me... even if they are little things, they still mean a lot. I love my Hecky poo.

Rice Shortage in the Philippines

The price of rice is skyrocketing all over the world. This trend will continue until the end of the year, and it is causing panic in many Asian countries, including the Philippines. Why is rice getting more expensive? The rice supply is decreasing. Floods in many Asian countries have affected the rice output in the region.

The Philippines is one of the top importers of rice in the world. Rice is a politically sensitive commodity in this country. It is not surprising that reports of a rice shortage have energized political debate and public concern regarding the economic policies of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

If the global supply of rice is dwindling, what is being done to increase local production? In the first place, why is the Philippines, which is predominantly an agricultural nation, importing rice from other countries?

- by Mong

Rice is the staple food of Filipinos. Remove it from the tables and there will be mass unrest. Blaming the weather and the limited global supply to explain the rice shortage is not enough. The government has to abandon its agricultural liberalization program and its over dependence on rice imports. The government must adopt emergency measures to increase the rice output of farmers. The time has come to implement a genuine agrarian reform.

***I used to be Pro-Gloria. But how can anyone feel safer with Arroyo in the Malacañang Palace when she is directly making the people suffer with such crisis?

How can anyone--ANYONE--imagine that Arroyo is going to bring peace, happiness, and contentment to any corner of this far-reaching and diverse planet? That is, any part that doesn't have massive quantities of rice for plunder.

I hope she chokes on a dried piece of lettuce, that subnormal intelligence cheap cheating lazy greedy dwarf slime wad.

Most of all, I can't believe how little in common I have with the majority of the country. I have never felt less "Filipino".

Philippines, love it or leave it? Buddy, if you're "it...."

I HATE TO SEE PEOPLE PAYING FOR OTHER PEOPLE'S IGNORANCE AND BIGOTRY. I HATE BEING AFRAID BECAUSE SOMEONE DIDN'T READ THE NEWSPAPER AND SAW THE PRESIDENT TOUR IN SOME OTHER COUNTRIES OR HER HUSBAND IN SOME WHITE JACKET ON THE HEADLINES.

i feel like I'm on a sinking ship of fools.

Dammit. I hate dumb people and i hate mean people and i hate racist people and i hate god freaks.

i hate that woman now. I hate her face, always grinning unctuous face.

Get ready for more crisis.

Overly Fake People

I don't understand why and how people can be so fake?? It is very irritating when you try to take life seriously. Maybe that's the problem, I just take life too serious sometimes. But people just don't get it, when you lie and con people into thinking you are amazing when your not... your true colors will come out eventually. And that sucks, people disappoint me.

Post-April Fool's Day Prank

Hectril played a prank text on me. You wouldn't want to know what he said. Well, it was a good prank because I almost believed him. I took that seriously enough that I almost cried. I'm still not over with it. Grrr. Bad Hecky poo!

It Is In The "Balance"

When I was in my sophomore year, this girl Nancy that was my classmate did a tarot reading for me. This is not to dispute or agree with tarot only to state the basis of my upcoming thoughts. Back then I was an awkward scrawny little thing with hardly any confidence at all. Boys didn’t like me since I was just too boyish. Anyway, she told me I would seek out docile boyfriends, ones I could dominate, ones that would do whatever I said.

Thank you Nancy, for implanting those ideas into my subconscious and allowing them to actually happen (but not all the time), because they’ve helped me through many situations.

However, I’m tired. I’m tired of being the strongest person I know. I’m so over demanding what I want and receiving it. I want to be sweet for once to get what I want. I always wanted to be a damn girl not an intimidating slice of woman. This is not to say that I won’t do what I have to do when I need to but only to acknowledge my desire to be something else if I wish. The hell I care to all the feminist, really, because behind the intelligent and formidable exterior, there’s just a grown a** little girl with her knight.

Poolah - New Blog

I have a new blog, however, it is still undergoing construction he he he.
Please visit Poolah and give me a holla! Wow i'm rhymin'. :D

I'm Stuck in a Rut

Well.. something is happening and I want this to stop. I know I can do something about this. And Hec is by my side, very supportive and all.

I know this is very cliché, but things always get better. And just when I think I am done, something great will happen. I trust myself.

I need someone to blow some fresh air into my state of being.


Have a happy weekend everyone.

Life is Interesting

Today, I was walking outside the office from yet another long night at work...when I spotted a yellow bell flower on the ground. Something told me to pick it up...and I did. I smiled. That one little thing that I found beauty in.... made my day.

I love Life.
Even when things aren't going my way...I've always got a smile on my face...just ask anyone who knows me.

It's been a stressful day at work.
Someone had anxiety and insecurity issues.

The list goes on...

But I feel good.
I've been doing a lot of thinking and it's helping with my uncanny ability to stay positive. And I'm sure eating good food helps.

I should eat something now come to think of it...

Also today I feel like I will be making some but not the best decisions for this month. I admit, I doubted myself at times and I went wrong with some choices, but for the most part, I'm happier in this month alone than I was almost all of last year. I've been shown what really mattered...and it wasn't me.

I just hope things will be fine.

Relatively Poor Right Now

There are things that I "want" to buy for myself..but they can wait. I am saving for something right now. Anyway, what I want to buy are just my "wants" and not my "needs". When was the last time I spent all of my salary for shopping? Well, that was 4 months ago! That's crazy.

And i notice that lately have been doing what I want to do without any question, hesitation, or disagreement. So, I want to minimize being a social butterfly...I just want to hibernate (huh? hibernate this summer?) but still be very playful at the same time.
