* the bright one *

she is a daughter of cassiopeia. her home is among the stars, high above reality. she's trying to be good, trying to accept that change is as constant as she is, trying to succeed. she's trying. a star playing connect-the-dots with everything around her, wish upon her as she streaks across the sky - she'll do anything to give you happiness, because she doesn't know how to start pursuing her own. she pulsates with light, if only she weren't blinded.

Song I'm Singing: Love Song For No One - John Mayer

Hmmm... I have a tagboard. Obviously, this will take some getting used to for me. But, please do use it. :D Hehe, I guess the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Hn. Interaction letter was given today, but methinks I'll show it to my parents tomorrow. I have to time this sort of thing... Hehe, I wonder how they'll react when they see that there is no "No" option in the letter.

*shrugs* Oh well. Later... I'm feeling lazy today.

Song I'm Singing: Ghost - Indigo Girls

Thanks go to everyone who reached out. Thanks so much, guys. You made me feel loved.

Ate Mara, I'll e-mail you the kwento when I have all the details na. Kailangan ko munang mag-research. Hehehehe...

I have made a decision. *breathes deeply* I'm letting go of *him* totally. I'm moving on, because damn, I'm tired. Dwelling on what has gone isn't doing me any good anymore. I now know that *he* was never Arnold anyway... I'm trying to free myself. *breathes* You guys aren't supposed to understand this, so yeah it's kind of malaboh... Don't ask na lang. Please. I just have to announce this to the world, even if most of the world won't understand anyway...

Gosh... I feel so much better.

Now to get to work.

Feeling: awful

God, I just finished crying a river... My eyes are swollen and puffy. Crap. It's times like this that I really hate being the eldest in the family. I wish I had an older sibling. God...

I feel horrid and empty. I've finished venting it out on my tita, but I don't feel comforted. I want to talk to someone who can make me feel better. Someone who can calm me down and tell me that everything will turn out okay.

Someone please reach out.

Song I'm Singing: Tinig Kordillera
Angel of the Day: Tara and Cara, because I had fun bonding kanina

Shucks... What a day! Ang ikli, pero parang ang haba! Hweh... Masaya clubs kanina. Sir Dino pulled us out to help Glee with their piece. Hehe, nagbonding lang kami nina Hana, tapos nakipagdaldal lang kay Sir Dino. Masaya, lalo na nung biglang nagkaron ng drama sa Glee. Biglang exit kami lahat ng mabilis! Hehe! Funny talaga ang pag-epal namin!

Haay... Hanggang diyan na lang muna. Tamad pa akong magkwento ng iba pa.

Obsessed with: getting thinner
Song I'm Singing: Jeepney - Spongecola (Yeah, I'm not pissed anymore - I've made peace with the music)
Angel of the Day: everyone na lang, para happy ang mundo

We caused Tara to mood swing kaninang lunchtime. It wasn't our fault. Basta... It's weird. Tama na nga muna yang prom-prom crap. Dagdag sa sakit ng ulo lang yan. Tsss... Weh... Ewan ko nga kung gusto ko pang pumunta. Olats... Hweh...

Ang busy pala ng week na 'to!!! Let's see... Tomorrow, I have practice for the Balagtasan for Buwan ng Wika and clubs. I'll be attending Blazon tomorrow instead of Guadixian. On Thursday, I'm supposed to either watch movie with Chino and my parents OR go to the salon with my mom. And there might be something else pa... On Friday, there's the LnK gimmick that I'm dying to go to, but haven't asked permission for yet, which is kind of nakakhiya, because I did help PLAN the thing... (Don't ask... There's a method to this madness, you know...) Then Tara told me today that there's a seminar on Saurday for SAP about voting or something or other... Waaah... I want to go to al of them, but my parents might protest. That is a lot for anyone to swallow. Shucks... Parang nakakawalang gana... Durg...

Weh... It's Wednesday tomorrow. We have PAASCU accreditation. Hah. Talk about *bleaagh*! Our DEAR DEAR principal had the audacity to announce that come rain or shine, we would have school tomorrow and on Thursday just for the WONDERFUL PAASCU people. :P Whatever! Hehe, some of my classmates are so irritated they just might be absent to piss her off.

Hmmm... In other news... I revised my last piece - "Writer's Block". Muchas gracias to Raph for helping spot the bigger problem areas. Here it is:

Writer's Block v2

The pen barely floats
above the paper,
poised to strike
like a matchstick
over the kindling surface
of inspiration.

I push aside:
the familiarity
with every letter
of your name,
the ease
of mouthing the once
oft-spoken syllables,
the lingering trace
of the muse
from almost another lifetime -
*you*

And I wait,
wait for the
spark that will
set fire, burn through
my numbness
and create.

But the pen drops,
and I remain unmoving,
eyes fixed on the empty lines,
the thrilling heat of
friction
revelation and light
does not come.

My match is
blackened at the tip –
as I am left with
only you
on this cold night,
my coal and its
dying embers,
no longer giving
warmth.

Feeling: tired
Latest indulgence: Bakit Baliktad Magbasa ng Libro ang mga Pilipino? by Bob Ong
Craving: homemade, freshly baked cookies
I want: two books by Joshua Harris
Obsessed with: finding a way to go to the movie on Friday
Song I'm Singing: Shifting Sand - Caedmon's Call
Angel of the Day: my dad, for buying me the book

Haay... I have a headache. I think I watched the raindrops sliding down the windshield for far too long. Weh... But I still want to blog.

I had to walk home again from the curb. It really sucks that they're "repairing" the road I live on, when it rains it gets too muddy for our cars to pass and we have to walk throuugh the mud in the rain. Siet. Normally, I don't mind, when the road is DRY, and I'm not wearing freaking BOOTLEG pants with my SUEDE SANDALS. Add this to carrying an umbrella, and trying to cross the mud, by hopping from stne to stone. Did I mention, that I'm too short to cross the gaps properly, so I ended up getting in the mud anyway? Crap... I really hate it when they do road work. The old asphalt was perfectly fine, I tell you.

Shangri-La was boring... As much as love my dad, it wasn't much fun going around the mall with him and Anton. Neither of them are too into window shopping, so 'yun... Food tripping na lang, and looking at the Mid-Autumn Chinese Festival...

Okay, so what's that thing that I really wanted to rant about? Ah yes... Never mind, I'll save it for a day when I'm thinking clearly without my migraine.

Later.

Grrr... I was supposed to blog properly. I was supposed to rant about something. But now, I have to go to Lourdes and pick up my little brother, then bum around in Shangri-La. Shux, timing talaga! Durg... Later na lang, I guess...

Anyway, tutors!!! Outing on Friday! Please go! *prays to be allowed* Engot ko talaga...

Wai! Gotta go!

Feeling: tired, but cheerful
Latest indulgence: fast food
Craving: sleep
I want: to straighten things out
Obsessed with : UAAP - UE vs AdMU on Sunday, BTW
Song I'm Singing: What Do I Do - Nyoy Volante
Angel of the Day: Chey, for helping me out when I felt so stressed

I'm trying to research for my Chem IW, but I can't find anything useful. Drat. This is the problem witht the Internet - information overload! You can't screen out what you want to see without looking at a whole lot of other stuff you don't want to see. Haay... Such is the paradox of our times...

I saw Mars in the sky last night. It was around 11:30 in the evening and I was about to drift off to sleep, when my dad wakes me up, saying "Do you want to see Mars? It's in the sky right now." At first, I said no, because I really wanted to sleep, but I realized what an opportunity I'd miss if I didn't get up to see it. I was right. It was really cool. Not much more than a hazy red dot below the moon, but it was beautiful still. Then my dad said, "You won't see Mars again for another 66 years." Wow. I'm really glad that I was able to see it; I feel so lucky that I did.

Haay... How wonderful it is that it's finally Friday tomorrow. Haah... By this time tomorrow, I'll be finished with my I.W. cards, my CL Session 3 Test, and the general stress I've faced this week. By this time tomorrow, I'd have banged on the sageypo and the patteteg and would've felt good about myself. By this time tomorrow, I don't have to worry about anything and could talk on the phone as long as I would've wanted. I can't wait...

In other news... My second gbook now contains 91 entries! Muchas gracias, mis amigos! Hehe, thanks for indulging me in one of the greatest pleasures of the Internet. I'm thinking about getting a zonkboard when the second gbook reaches a hundred. What do you guys think? Of course, I'll put in a third gbook... And you guys have to sign it too! Zonkboards are wonderfully convenient, but nothing beats a guestbook entry. Oh well... I need feedback. Tell me what you think!

Mica, think hard before you quit. You might reget it. Whatever you choose, the kada'll be behind you. We love you, Mics!

I'm feeling a little tired. But that's okay... I'm happy anyway. Oh gosh, I'm starting to rhyme. Hehe, Bianx, you're my Angel of the Day. I'm going to quote you, because I found your little rhyme amusing.

"He's cute. He's tall. He plays basketball. Oh god, that rhymes! I'm saying poetry now?!"

Haha. I'm glad you have an Arnold. Heh. You have a Arnold... Chesca has an Arnold... I want an Arnold dammit! But Car's right, where the hell are we each going to find one?

It doesn't matter - I've found a song for him though... (Ano ba naman yan... I haven't even found Arnold, and already I have a song for him... Loser ko talaga.)

Hidden Track 4
Parokya ni Edgar

It took one look
Then forever lay out in front of me
One smile, then I died
Only to be revived by you

There I was
Thought I had everything figured out
It goes to show just how much I know
'Bout the way life plays out

I take one step away
Then I find myself coming back
To you, my one and only,
One and only you

Ooh...

Now I know
that I know not a thing at all,
Except the fact that I am yours
And that you are mine

Oh, they told me that this wouldn't be easy
And though, I'm not one to complain

I take one step away
Then I find myself coming back
To you, my one and only
One and only...
I take one step away
Then I find myself coming back
To you, my one and only
One and only you

Weh... Enough about Arnolds... :P

I found this beautiful poem in SIM last Sunday though... It's by Joseph Salazar - the other half of the hickey pair. Hehehe... The liberal orbs would remember.

Gaano Ka Kalayo?

Isang hakbang
o isang nakaw na sulyap sa iba.
Isang yakap,
o isang pagsamong
walang habag.
Isang tawag sa telepono
isang sakay sa eroplano
isang liham na siksik
ng mga kuwento mula
sa mga buwang nagdaan,
sa isang minuto ng pag-aalinlangan,
at sa isang nakaraang hindi
matakasan. Isang umaga
ng pagbasa ng dyaryo,
isang hapong inaksaya
ng pagkulong sa kuwarto,
isang gabing lumalalim
nang di nakaktulog.
Tawang umaalingawngaw
sa magdamad, buntong-
hininga tuwing masasalat
and pangarap na matagal nang
binubuno, at ang kindat
na pinatatawid
sa magkabilang dulo
ng silid, kinikimkim
ang isang sekreto.
Isang tinging nagsasabi
ng totoo, isang bulong
na kay raming itinatago.
O isang tibok matapos
ang isang mahabang hikab
na pinakakawalan
sa bawat ilang na paghipo.
Titig sa malayo,
ng kunwang pagtulog,
at ang pangakong bibitawan
upang lisanin
ang pananagutang hindi
ginusto. Isang enkuwentro
na gagawing dahilan
upang sumuko,
at makapangibang-landas
nang tapat sa ipinipintig
ng puso

-- © Joseph T. Salazar

Feeling: slightly better
Latest indulgence: chocolate
Angel of the Day: Pia, Pam and Chesca

Haay. Finally, my horrible week is finished.

Today was a pretty good day, though. I'm glad the kada was able to make bawi to Mica. Hehe, bonding kaming apat (my Angels of the Day). Hm... We three learned something about Pia's cousin. I really don't like the guy. Chesca made a booboo kanina though... EVERYONE knows I don't like Carlo, even Pia does, but Pia doesn't know just how much I dislike the guy. Tsk. Oh well... No harm done. I hope.

Hehe, spent SocSci in the clinic with Carla. Twas fun, til the annoying doctor made us be quiet. Oh well...

Haay.... Later na nga lang... I'm still tinatamad.

* Tuesday, August 5 *

I'm having one of those moments, where I feel like the smallest, most insignificant person I know. It feels like I've gotten stretched, that I'm not enough for everything I need or want to do - and nobody sees it, because nobody cares. I'm not just talking about stress. I can handle stress. Schoolwork isn't worth this worry. I just feel like I'm alone. I think the bottomline is that right now, I don't feel like anyone cares. I know it's stupid - I do have family and I do have friends, people who do care, but right now it doesn't feel enough. I feel like I've spent all of myself today, like I've lost something. I need to feel loved again. I need a tight hug. I need something more than a hug. I want something that'll penetrate through my density and will last longer than the 15 seconds of a hug. I feel like I've floated so far offshore that no one can reach me, and I'm drowning now.

Someone save me.

Friend of the Day: Chesca, ala lang... you're my friend today

Waah... We got Mrs. Borja mad today. Someone ate in her class, then she thought another girl was talking to someone outside. Now she won't teach for the entire week. She's not going to teach us anything about Christian Conscience and the Law. Siet... Now how are we going to study? Damn it.

The class Mass was a success though... It was nice. Nan-nan sang "Shifting Sands" and I thought it suit her voice well. It's a nice song, I guess...

I'm tired... Can I go back to summer?

Latest indulgence: Parkoya ni Edgar's Bigotilyo CD
I want: a Caramel Cream Frappucino
Flipping through: Inferno; The Count of Montecristo
Song I'm Singing: Choco Latte - Parokya ni Edgar
Angel of the Day: all my friends

Wah... Today was a semi-stressful day. Haay... I.W. and the English soliloquy... Wah. Class mass tomorrow. We had to cram the backdrop. I ended up finishing it. Hehe, it felt cool to actually be there in the Quiet Zone, working by myself on the backdrop. I really felt like a junior. Grabe... I can't wait until the weekend.

Hehe, it's Mica's birthday on Thursday. We have to do something for her on that day. Sana she can actually spend lunch with us on that day. Miss ko na si Mica eh. Ganun siguro ang buhay CO.

Ahahahaha, have kwento pala today! I was eating recess (pathetic graham crackers) with the kada, when suddenly Kat comes up to me. She says in a voice as normal as possible, "Christa, can I see your socks?" So I turn and show them to her and she says, "Can I borrow your them?" I tell her yes, and we go to the bathroom to trade socks, laughing the entire time. I turns out, her socks were bawal, because they had the Polo Sport logo on them, and since she was a CO, she couldn't afford to be seen wearing them. Haay.... Buhay CO talaga... The kada was laughing, because it was so weird.

Meron na naman akong bagong "org" sa class. Hehe! We are the SPC - Samahan Para sa Chocolate! (We even have codenames - I'm now known as "Goddess Godiva"! Bwahahahaha!) Hehe, Lian, Dana, Ericka and I were standing around during English class (free period, because Mrs. Perez was absent), when we started talking about chocolate - and in the process, drove ourselves insane with craving. So tomorrow, each one of us is supposed to bring chocolate to share. So ang saya! Magdadala ako ng Twix bukas... Whee!

So... My semi-stressful day turned out okay after all. I'm tired, but I'm smiling now at least.

I was able to write another poem kanina... Spanish got boring kasi...

Writer's Block

My fingers hover
over the keyboard,
poised to fly
at the first spark
of inspiration, the
flame from a
muse's flint.

I push aside:
the image
of your bowed head,
the scent
of our familiarity,
the sound
of my unringing phone,
the thoughts that
whisper *you*

And I wait,
wait for the
kindling that will burn
through my numbness
and create.

But my fingers are still,
and I remain unmoving,
eyes fixed on the blinking cursor,
the thrilling heat of
revelation and light
does not come.

I find my matches
blackened at the tip -
as I am left with
only you,
like a cold night
with only coal and its
dying embers,
coldy glowing.
And I try in vain for
a warmth that can
never be.

I found my song na:

TELEPONO

natatandaan mo ba kagabi apat na oras tayong nagbabad
sa telepono inabutan na tayo ng umaga non
ngunit bakit ngayon malamig ka bigla
magdamag na sa tabi mo wala man lang hello

hello hello hello naririnig mo pa ba ako?

kung wala na tayo sa telepono
pag nandito na tayo sa tunay na mundo

hello di na kita naiintindihan
malabo na ba ang linya sa ating dalawa

hello gising ka pa kaya?
hello nahihilo na ako sa yo

tuwing gabi pag nagriring ang telepono ikaw ang naiisip ko
tumawag ka tumawag ka, o please tumawag ka naman
dahil kailangan lang marinig ang boses mo

o ngayong gabi, managinip, managinip ulit tayo
sa sarili nating mundo

Para sa mga tulad kong, telebabad lagi. Wala lang... Kahit halos walang connection.

Song I'm Singing: Marposa - Sugarfree; Antipara - Itchyworms!

Hehe, I've been watching the Hey Arnold! Marathon on Nickelodeon for a couple of hours already. How fun! Haha, I find the cartoon so adorable. It can get repetitive, but I love it still. Hehe, I now know why Helga started liking Arnold. It's so cute!!! Haha, ako rin! Gusto ko na rin ng Arnold! Not Helga's Arnold, mind you. My own Arnold... Obvious ba na tinotopak na naman ako? :P Oh well, masaya pa rin! :D

The day's been so great! It's one of those lazy days, where you don't do anything but sleep, eat and watch TV, without feeling guilty. Which kind of makes me wonder what I'm not doing, because so many of my classmates are hella stressed. Oh well... I'll cram na lang siguro tomorrow. Ang sarap talaga ng araw eh! It felt so good to nap and wake up just to watch TV. Hehe... I miss doing this.

Hmmm... I'm looking for a nice new mushy Tagalog song. If anyone mentions anything about Spongecola, get ready to feel my frustrated irritation!!! Grrrrr! Am currently anti-Spongecola. Don't ask, unless you really want to know. Grrrrr!

Anyway, wala lang. Thanks for the positive feedback on the layout guys! :)
