Living on the Edge

Obviously I haven't been blogging for the past few weeks. That's because I've been really really bored here. Ok, I am having fun...spending time with family and friends...going out and all...but I think there's bound to be something I should be doing! I was supposed to start working but we're going for a pretty long family vacation in February so it would be kinda useless to start now.

I have to admit, I like the feeling of not having to worry about tutorials- not having to wake up to a table with loads to study. I like being around people- not going home to an empty home. But I think I've reached the point where I need to get back my space again. I guess I just need time to think. I've just been surrounded with too much opinions. I know it's good to get advice from people who've gone through what I am going through...but sometimes, I think I need to take a huge step back and think about what I really want for myself.

Basically, all I'm saying is that all this extra free time? It's really driving me nuts. I thought I'd enjoy 8 full months of not doing anything. But, NO. I can't stand it anymore. I hate living a life of uncertainty. I don't like it. It's been making me think of things I don't even have control over. To sum it all up, I don't like being idle and I don't like not having control. Sorry to those I've snapped at the past few days...there's just been a lot of things on my mind. Soon enough, I'll be ok.

Music Fortune Teller

So here's what I did: I set my iTunes to shuffle mode...and asked the following questions...Here's what Joshua thinks.

What do you think of me, iTunes?
Tell Me How You Feel, Joy Enriquez - All I wanna say is that I want you in my life...Baby I want you but I don't know what to say.
Looks like I have my darling. Haha.

Will I have a happy life?
The Dream Within, Lara Fabian - Free, the dream within...We tremble and spin, suspended within, look beyond where hearts can see. Dream in peace, trust the belief.

What do my friends really think of me?
It Might Be You, Stephen Bishop - Something's telling me it might be you...yes it's telling me it might be you...all of my life.
Err...really? I certainly hope not.

What should I do with my life?
Time of Our Lives, Paul Van Dyke - There's a time for us to let go...there's a time for holding on.
Hmmm...

Why must life be so full of pain?
Just Kidding, The Idea of North - You wanna hit me a little where it hurts...It's a game we play.
Wanna know my opinion? It's not a fun game at all.

Will I die happy?
I Want You To Know, Chantal Kreviazuk
Hmm...doesn't really make sense to me.

Can you give me some advice?
Foolish Games, Jewel
Haha...this one made me laugh! Are you asking me to play foolish games?

What is happiness?
American Woman, Lenny Kravitz - American woman, stay away from me!
LOL. Is Joshua gay or what!

Ok it's getting cheesy...enough!

Backaches and Burnt Popcorn

Been some time since I last blogged. Been up to a lot of New Year celebrations and stuff so I didn't have much time. Anyway, Happy New Year everyone! Hope it was a great 2005 for you! For me? Well, it was memorable. Looking forward to a new and improved 2006!

Went to Tagaytay with my cousins on the last day of 2005. Had a great time! For those who are not familiar with the place, basically it's just a 2 hour drive from Manila. Lots of restaurants up there...not really the modern kind but more rural and culture-ish. Lots of greenery and not much civilization compared to Manila of course but it's good place to relax and have fun. :) If you wanna see the pictures we took, check out ginarella.multiply.com :)

Since we all gain a little bit during the holidays, I decided to take up a sport. My chosen sport is.....boxing! Yes, boxing! It's really fun! There's this thing called the rapid fire where you just gotta box nonstop for like 2 minutes....whoah. Tiring but the feeling of having exercised and having burned all that chocolate cake is great! Well, don't ask what happened the next day. Let's just say, I was half bedridden.

One thing I miss most from Singapore? Popcorn! Everytime I watch a movie, I have to buy popcorn! I remember asking the guy to give me half of each flavor. Well, guess what! There is actually a flavor that's both sweet and salty in one. It's called, kettlecorn. So, my HUGE box from Singapore came back and I got back my stash of DVDs and we all decided we should watch something. What is a movie without a popcorn anyway? So we decided to pop some kettlecorn. After 3 minutes of heating it in the microwave, the whole kitchen smelled awful. Yes, burnt popcorn. Sigh. Guess I've got to fly back to Singapore to get back my popcorn! Movies, anyone?
