hi everyone, i know its kinda late and i still have a 730 class tomorrow with our oh so irritating english teacher...but anyway the past week was well kinda windy on my part...i think im battling sort of like mixed emotions. more like fear of losing someone...here goes my paranoia again...imagine, i thought that u-know-who is drifting away from me...and whats worst is that i kinda thought that my close friend lace was one of the factors of me losing him...like i ever had him...but anyway, talked to lace already and told her about what i thought and she said it was absurd!of course it is...i kinda regret that doubting part coz she has been my constant companion, guide, confidante call it what ever you want!she has been with me through thick and thin...and she knows me inside and out! i apologized and i do hope she understood me...my computer seems to be having its moods too...i had formatted this one 3 times already within the past 2 weeks...i guess it just needs to let me practice my compe skills...i have a long quiz in my OS tomorrow and i havnt finished reading the book and the slides...and right this very moment im installing yahoo messenger...i hope this works...didnt realize it took me this long to install it...by the way my old friend Ma. Karla "kai" Bautista got into the magic 5 of Ms.World 2004 held at China...im so proud of her...finally, to all those who read my crazy thoughts, i just want you to know that there's always a reason for everything...

and so in one of the friendster bulletin he wrote:

the only thing that defines love is just the reason
why you're still breathing here on earth, because
of the love of many, from the moment you where
born, untill this day,I tell you, love is always with
you, yeah yeah call it crap or anything, dont be like
those wise and lonely people, because whatever
you do, this things are really true...and i know you
know these, you're just walking blind... If you are
looking for love, would you recognize it if you
found it... wake up fool, you're mind is poisoned
by your own pride. you're so bookish, you easily
beleive in things that you feel its right just
because these people are the ones who stand up
what they beleive, are the things you stand for are
really the things you really do beleive, I tell you,
not even one of them can really explain the word
love, because love aint a word it aint in the book,
it can't be written, it would take mans entire life to
let him understand what love truly is... say I'm
wrong, I dont care, but someday you'll know, when
tears fall down, say you'll never cry, you're lying,
when that happens,when its tears of joy or sorrow
even the most f***ing miserable thing would
come, you'll say "Its that all you got!!!"


why am I sure he wrote this?coz i don't know actually...i just have this gut feeling just by reading through that he wrote this..so you see, its really hard for me to read his mind...kinda strange how it works!

it was a crazy day...its one of those days wherein i tell myself that there are a whole lot of things i should be grateful for. it was weird coz it seemed that my mind is not functioning that well...i couldn't even be critical for our sosci 6 lecture...i really have no idea why.but anyway i got through my day without shedding a tear. that's hopeful isnt it?

sometimes i would ask myself why i have to like him so much...

forgive me for babbling about him again...i know this topic is boring you but then honestly speaking, his scent is the only thing that crosses my mind right this very moment...

have to sleep but im still waiting for my downloaded files to finish downloading...

good night and God bless!

went to school today and well just hang out for a while...nothing much to do there since we still don't have classes...you know how engineering students are...

nothing much to do here at home except be on the net...browsing through the archives of ultimate-guitar.com looking for tabs to practice on...

i kept having these awful headaches lately... i think i needed to get my eyes checked again...or i might have brain tumor or something...

na just kidding...

took this quiz in gurl.com and here's my result:

Your dominant element is wood. The ancient Yin-Yang scholars saw wood types as true nature lovers--could you happily do without a TV? Wood people are generally very driven, eager to be the best at whatever they do. They just need to remember not to get too frustrated if things don't turn out exactly as planned...
The nature of wood is embodied in a tree. Wood encourages a tendency to aim high while at the same time keeping your feet firmly on the ground. Trees grow patiently. The element of wood helps us to plan things in a logical and practical way. Trees often try to outgrow each other to get the best light and to develop the strongest roots. The wood element therefore encourages a competitive attitude.

Natural environments inspire the positive qualities of wood. But the high buildings of a city can also stabilize the connection between the sky and the ground.

A windy climate is best for wood as it helps blow old leaves off the twigs and branches and stimulates new growth. The color that is associated with wood is green.

Wood types enjoy sour treats.

NOTE: Wood types tend to be either tall like trees or short like bushes. They often have strong eyebrows or a prominent jawline.

im really not sure if all of these are true...bsta these are my results...

by the way, check out vanessa carltons video, she's a wonderful dancer...

tc and God bless!

peace out!

And so my eventually fruitful sembreak ended with a peaceful staying at home...nah, i didn't become a huge coach potato...i went about doing most of my household chores.the only thing that made me a bit crazy is that i have to spend most of my time all alone at home. the dvd's are running a little low so i have no more movies to watch. im reading "Bourne Supremacy" but that don't work too much coz there are parts of the book that seems oh so boring...but then off to my last resort, my beloved GUITAR. I learned lots of songs with the help of tabs. I even recorded it on tape with recorder my aunt sent me.

I have to make a crucial decision before the class starts and I really have no idea how to go about making it. It all depends on how I feel and well what my mind tells me also coz I don't want to believe in lies anymore. Even if those lies suffice my craving for attention and would probably satisfy my all time fantasies. But then who needs to be reminded that the world is CRUEL and that it is possible that fate does exist and *** is just not part of my destiny. Well he probably is but then not the prince charming type. YOu know what I mean...However, in my utmost dismay with myself, with all the things I've realized over the time I spent being lonesome here at home, I still feel strongly for the guy... But then I have succeeded self control coz I didn't contact him the past 3 days. That would be a start right? I mean people who knows my story would say I should stay away. maybe I should, just for a little while. And that means I have to open myself up to other people and get my very own life, a life without him in it. I could not begin to imagine it. Damn, I think I've fallen deep...Catch me, somebody!

The pics of our weekend vacation are now available at bastina13v.blogspot.com! just try to refresh the page if the pics don't show up.Okay?

"life is short, have some fun"

here i am all alone, no one to talk to...

SEMBREAK: DILEMMA OR VACATION???

I don't know about you but i think im having fun with my sembreak...finally I could get some sleep and sleep in a decent bed at that! not to mention stay at home the whole day and I could finally clean the house and do whatever it is I like to do...
Anyway just went to Ayala and i was kinda thinking of walking around all by myself and enjoy the feeling of being alone in a mall but then I saw leslie...and of course if leslie is around, then rhod couldn't be that far...the two are totally unseparable. as what i told leslie in one of my emails, i am happy for her but then i also fear the unevitable lonely moments..but then i figured, manuel, ben and glynnee are still around so I won't have to spend my free time all by myself...back to the issue at hand: SEMBREAK! We're planning on going back to Daan Bantayan for leslie's birthday...Im kinda excited coz, you know how much I love the BEACH! not to mention the company of people who shares my enthusiasm in life...i just hope my parents would let me go...

Had a long talk with Doyle last night and I realized I kinda miss our conversations...again he shed some light into my desolate mind...he told me not to expect anything from anyone to avoid getting hurt...that is oh so true...but then again, I wish it were that easy...NOT EXPECTING...the problem is, i always end up DAYDREAMING of those wonderful possible moments that would liven up my life...how could i not expect?arrg...

i think i have complained enough...till next time...

weak

my hands are sweaty
but they are cold
the blood in me is rising
as I tried to unfold
the things i wanted you to know
the words i kept hearing my heart say
that you make me weak
every single day
those indecent stares
burns my skin like fire
and that smile
fills me up like honey
in a jar
should i submit to your liking?
id say i will
could i endure this feeling
of loving you still...

the semester is almost over and im still on the verge of holding my breath coz i still have pending NC's on my subjects...anyway visited one of the blogspots and came upon an article about selfishness...what he wrote made sense and well even if i know that you already know most of the stuff written there but it won't hurt if you take a peek at it...just click on the fullmetalartist at my links...

this has been one hell of a sem and the only thing i could say is that i have learned a lot, experienced most of it and am well established lots of wonderful, worth keeping relationships with a couple of classmates.

i'd love to blog some more coz i have tons of things to tell but then i still have to study for my logic defense and my final exam in comE 411...

amidst the squall that paved its way into my peaceful domain
i remained firm
i choose to be faithful
because knowing that you will be by my side
takes the fear away
~plum~

I stared for a moment into the open field of silence, and pondered on the footprints that left my journey undaunted and then I realized that all those time that my world would seem to come crashing down, would seem to fall apart, a portrait of your existence lights up the very road i walk upon. Your presence illumines my sky which was once darkened by the apathy towards one's frustrations. You might ask, why do I hate myself? it is because no matter how unreachable that star is, I still stand on my toes and stretch my hand out, hoping and praying that my maker might grant my grandest wish: TO KEEP YOU! But you are merely passing by. A not so distant memory of my euphoric days. You will someday leave my circle and travel on to a different dimension. You will one day forget that I existed, you might even erase my name from your memory and I will be nothing but a speck of dust on your photo album. So I cherish every moment of tranquility when I am with you, in those frequent conversations. The day might leave us dissatisfied of what we have achieved but we are still happy people. As long as we are still bounded by the very wall we are leaning towards, I will keep you close. Closer to my heart. I will make the most of what we are, what I am to you and the time that I am blessed with.~plum~011004

My days are getting more crazy as i live on...I don't know, it seems as if I had my last drop but them here I am still moving on...

I told Exun that I wanted to stop liking/loving him...He asked me the most crucial question: Are you sure you could do it? It got me thinking, could I? Its hard for me because we are together 24/7! and whats worst is everybody kept on thinking that we're already a couple which is far from the truth...ahh... dilemma's in life....I'm listening to urbandub right now and well the music just makes me miss him...we're like brothers and sisters...I guess our sort-of-relationship is just upto that point...should I settle for that?what do you think?

anyway, its my lola's birthday today...my other grandmom, Lola Elsa, my Lola Edith's older sister...and we're having dinner at Lumpia House... My aunts wanted me to sing...I still don't know what song...

I was supposed to go to Glynnee's house coz there's a fiesta at Pardo, but then family first...
I wish I was there...

anyway, don't get too excited coz again I'll be taking a leave of absence since I've got 3 pending projects to make...

peace out...

mwaah!

my life all of a sudden became such a rollercoaster of sort of flirting...I don't actually flirt with the guys in question...its just that somehow I became close to them and the physical contact became such a normal thing for us...anyway, this left me even more confused with how I feel...

Canence is correct on the matter of getting over the certain guy!its just that almost everybody thinks I should distance myself...i wish its that easy...i do that in a heartbeat...the problem is my heart doesn't seem to comply with my decisions...

this is gonna end here kay nag ym mi...

bye...

Good Morning to all...

I was supposed to go to the bank to get a check cashed but then my mom told me she'd be the one to do it...yepee...Midterms is almost over. Still go 3 exams next week or the week after that.
Weird coz last week I almost give up on everything because my body was so exhausted and Im so emotionally drained.

Anyway someone used my chikka account and well sent some "i love u" messages to those people in my account! I don't have a single idea who did it... Some sick weirdo perhaps who's got nothing to do with his life which might be a total wreck right now that he wanted to ruin other people's life! I took my java programming exam totally disturbed of what happened. Might as well forget about it and do some damage control!

I really love to dance but last night a huge dilemma caught me by surprise! I DON'T KNOW HOW TO STRUT! It was like the most difficult routine I encountered! But as always I took it as a challenge coz hahaha...don't know I just feel like I can do anything as long as I put my heart and my mind into it.

I'm still playing this game of pretendings. Its like Im trapped in this! Gosh! It would sometimes seem that I was born to have a very lonely life...love life that is!
He sits beside me but his mind flies somewhere else...to that girl he used to know...he longs for her as much as I long for him...So I just looked at him knowing that I could have him as my company but I could never have his love or care or his attention for that matter...he is everything I wanted and more but I think God has a purpose for me...something much more than what I wanted...but for now I must detach myself from him...could that be possible?...they say nothing's impossible in this world...but why does it seem very hard for to let him go...yes he is my friend but Im tired of pretending that it doesn't bother me if he talks to me about ****...the bottom line is I AM HUMAN! Im not some robot who has no emotion whatsoever! so here I am, same ol' me, so I choose to hurt in silence and be grateful for what he could share to me...his DIVIDED attention... I know Im getting caught deeper into this and that I might get in trouble...but still I pray to God...I do not pray that he'd love me or that he'd choose me over ****(as if Im included in his choices!)but instead I pray that he'd be happy with her, that he would not be hurting, that she would inspire him to do more with his life...That's the least I could do aside from being around when he needs some company...How I wish I sat in another row 2 semesters ago...that we didn't talk and that we didn't get along...how I wish I didn't like music so much, that I had different interests...at least totally different than his...that I live somewhere else, near the school perhaps so that we didn't share those ride home and then get the chance to talk more...I wish we didn't have common friends...I wish all these things didn't happen...I might not be hurting right now...

But as what the great philosophers say: EVERYTHING HAS ITS PURPOSE!

and so I must accept my fate and live on with my life trusting in what the Lord has in store for me...

Take care....

You are always gonna be my love
Even if your affection may wander to another
You will always be inside my heart
I hope that I have a place in your heart too

Could this be the last straw of mine?Could I still endure this?Actually Im the only person to blame because I could not seem to let him go... I don't know why...I feel so strangled and well kinda betrayed but as what Benny said, I could not blame him...

I read something today in his phone and well even if it really crushed my heart out, I still smiled and teased...yeah right as if! God, IM SUCH A PRETENDER! To you who's asking, well here's my answer...

WE don't exist...there's never us in the first place...its just a result of misconception...

I still don't know how I could avoid him or should I?

If I do, would it mean breaking a strong bond of friendship?

Or are we even friends?

What a way of inspiring my midterm exams!

TSAI: Channel your energy for the greater Glory!

Happy 20th Birthday to Gizelle Faye "Paypims" Sembrano!!!

I know it took me forever to blog again!its just that Im kinda preoccupied with a whole lot of school work and dance practice...

A lot of things happened... All I can say is that I have had my fair share of ups and downs that I think I'm on the verge of being emotionless...I don't know, the past events made me a stronger person!

As for my inspiration, well good thing is he still does inspire me...but as always I shrug the idea of him courting me out of my mind coz I know it will never happen...maybe not this time...

Just finished typing our report on our ComE 414L and after a very tiring practice, Im still alive and kicking...had a very scary afternoon. I was cornered by such unexpected people.I just don't understand why I can't seem to lie about my feelings. I just sat there, smiled like hell and let the aliens eat me alive...anyway, in spite of bruises and sores all over, Im still glad I got in the Engr. Pop jazz...its like somehow, my dreams are slowly coming to reality...except for like a bit of...you know na...well we can't always get what we want...

This is what maia was talking about!This is our lesson in ethics...At first I thought that Buddhism is a considerable religion...not that I have any plans changing religion but I mean the teachings are reasonable enough to poke you right in the head...just read through and reflect!


The first part of the Eightfold Noble Path is RIGHT VIEW or RIGHT UNDERSTANDING. This means knowing the Four Noble Truths.
The First Noble Truth is the knowledge that ALL that has been CREATED is IMPERMANENT. And whatever is impermanent is inherently ILL. And what is impermanent and ill is SELFLESS.
Two is the knowledge that the arising of ill is based on ignorance and it is perpetuated by the craving and intoxication for sensuality and sensations, becoming and rebecoming, delusion and ignorance.
Three is the knowledge that the CEASING of this ill that has arisen, the stopping of all future becomings, is Nirvana. True Reality realized, freed of this ill.
Four is the knowledge of the Eightfold Noble Path that leads to the cessation of this ill and to winning the goal: Nirvana. True Permanent State of Self, Permanent Changeless Absolute Reality ITSELF, Suchness, Perfect Wisdom.
The second part is RIGHT THINKING or RIGHT AIM. This means to aspire to attain realization of Perfect Wisdom, the Ultimate True Permanent Reality. To abstain from all evil acts of thought. To attain the total destruction of all cravings. To renounce all manifesting, all constructions, all that is "created" make-believe.
To develop dispassion, total detachment, absolute renunciation, self-surrender. To bring about the cessation of all "created" realities. To Self-Realize the Incomparable Awakening of Self. To win the freedom of Mind, the freedom through Perfect Intuitive Wisdom, the sane and immune emancipation of Will.
The third part is RIGHT SPEECH. To abstain from all lying speech, all perjurious speech, all evil abusive speech and all frivolous speech. To engage in speech and discussion that pertains to and leads to Nirvana, to what’s actually PERMANENT and REAL.
The fourth part is RIGHT ACTION. To abstain from all killing of all creatures. To abstain from all stealing. To abstain from all sensual and sexual misconduct. To abstain from all evil acts. To abstain from all forms of intoxication.
The fifth part is RIGHT LIVING. To abstain from all evil ways of living; to abstain from all evil methods of livelihood.
The sixth part is RIGHT EFFORT. To destroy all EVIL STATES OF MIND that have already arisen; to keep NEW evil states of mind FROM arising; to maintain and grow GOOD STATES OF MIND that have already arisen; and to make grow NEW good states of mind that have not yet arisen, such as loving kindness for ALL Beings, compassion and pity for ALL creatures, sympathetic joy and equanimity.
The seventh part is RIGHT MINDFULNESS. To contemplate as impermanent, ill and Selfless: Body, Feelings, Perception, Mind, Consciousness, Thought, Mental States, Mental Objects and Mental Activity. To grow revulsion for the world, seeing it for the decaying creation that it is, and to grow dispassion, total detachment, calm, tranquility, seeing that everything is not Self. To disregard all that is perceived, remaining aloof from both the pleasures as well as the pains arising from the creation of senses and sensuality.
The eighth part is RIGHT CONCENTRATION. Aloof from the world, aloof from evil states, aloof from all sensations from the senses, dwelling in solitude, seclusion, ardent, diligent, Self-resolute, develop one-pointedness of Mind through intense meditation and reflection.
To enter in, AND THEN TRANSCEND, eight higher states of consciousness that lead to increasing Intuitive Wisdom, Insight and Direct Super-Knowledge, and to destroying the addictions and cravings, and to realizing True Reality, effectively piercing the shell of ignorance and delusion. As one attains the higher states of Mind, Consciousness, the true nature of how things really are can be seen clearly, both intuitively and with supreme effort, by direct Super-Knowledge. True Reality unfolding, Self-Enlightenment of Self by Self.


So anyway, I'm having second thoughts on the pop jazz...Don't get me wrong, I really like to dance but then just realized that it would really require much of my time...Have to make lots of sacrifices... but then again, I still want to practice. It don't only make me loose weight but it also inspires me, in a way...hehehe...SECRET NA NA!Because of....nevermind...

I grew tired of waiting
it always makes me confused
who am I really?
to you I mean...
how long should we go on like this?
pretending nothing's happened
or yet happening...
others could see
but why can't you?
Are you that blind?
I know you're not stupid
but sometimes you are...
not that I'm blaming you
its just that...
my heart has had enough!
~plum~

Here I am again, blogging after a very long ang tiring day. My only consolation is that I get to see and hang-out with "you-know-who" and well of course my ka berks...
My everyday dilemma includes 25 units of mixed major and minor subjects and a whole lot of love problems...Well not all are mine. I think just a few but then again, why would I make our relationship a problem? If anyone should ask, I'd still say we're friends but with a little twist...Most of the time that he's with me, we talk ALOT! We never ran out of stories to tell. He'd like, poke me on the shoulder if I fell silent or pinch me then we then begin our very much awaited conversations. I like it very much when I joke around and he hugs me, well sorta like that, or puts his arm around me. It makes me feel secured!But then again, WE'RE JUST FRIENDS! I therefore conclude that he doesnt have a clue that I LIKE HIM A LOT! Of course I like him, why would I hang-out with a guy like him if I didn't enjoy every single minute of it.Right?And so in spite of my plan which is to avoid him, we end up being together all the time. But I never grow tired of being with him, laughing at his jokes, listening to his crazy and wild stories and ideas even if sometimes I just nod my head even if I didn't quite relate to it, eating out, walking home or just sitting next to him in silence. How could I ever find someone like him? For me, he's all I ever wanted in a guy and he's the one thing I could not have. D I L E M M A...What a harsh world!

I'm looking forward of going to school on Monday...

God bless!

Im still wearing my uniform as Im typing this at home. Just came home from school and well Im not that tired so I punched in some thoughts. I missed blogging everyday. So far Im still not that "busy". Anyway, Im expecting a whole lot of improvement with regards to my activities this semester. First VOT's back in action. As you have noticed in you admission slips, the admin had collected a 20 peso allotment for VOT. Finally someone placed some sense into them. Next, finally my mother allowed me to at least try out for the engineering pop jaZz...hope I could get in coz I really wanna dance before I solely focus on being a computer engineer.We won't be able to join the mobot contest on the 26th but there's still a chance come October. My classes are all fine and interesting. And I'm looking forward to my Ethics class...
As for the love of my life...KUNO! We're still the same, FRIENDS! and good thing is I had confirmed that he still doesn't have a single clue about what I truly feel for him...Im just relieved that he'd still confide on me to whatever is on his mind most especially about the girl he likes.

LM: I feel bored hanging out with you coz it seems that you have your own world!

I guess, Les that's what makes our friendship extra special...

Hey its me again...just finished eating dinner and I was supposed to finish reading the book Maje lent me. but I figured, what the heck I'll go online for just 30 minutes just to check on things...anyway I'm still feeling sobber...not on booze but on something else...IBELIEVEINATHINGCALLEDLOVE...love that song...I know I'm weird and that makes me, me...my eccentricity...if anyone has a problem with that then I'm glad to have buggled up your mind...

Once again my words are lost. I kept having these odd dreams but I'm not sure if Im in the position to interpret them. As always they seem real coz it involves people who I see everyday. I wonder if other people have the same experience...I miss my Philo class. For me that was like the only sensible part of my education...

by the way, got hooked on these two games: Shrek 2 and Nosferatu...they're both entertaining on different levels...my bro is currently playing nosferatu...to those game addicts, maybe you have tried them, maybe you haven't!Just check it out...

till next time...

what confuses me the most is the way you handled knowing how I truly feel about you...sometimes it would seem that you wanted to stay away, sometimes it would seem that your stickin' around...which ever way, I'm still a thousand time grateful for the company...~~plum~~
