Visitors...

Sorry for not updating for a while. You see, I haven't been getting ideas for posts recently, and somebody broke the mouse of the computer when I finally thought of something.

One day this week, I was drawing a few characters from my weird fantasies (......), wearing an oversized shirt and ratty denims, with my hair like a nest as it always has been. I was called downstairs to meet my great aunt who came to visit for some reason I don't know about. My aunt introduced us to her, "Mano po," we siblings replied before putting the back of her hand on our foreheads as a traditional gesture of respect. As we exited from the living room (ran away, actually) our great aunt remarked about us kids in the house, saying we've all become fatter and scruffier than before.

Fat? Who are you calling "fat''? I can take being called scruffy; I'm not too fussy about my looks, and I didn't expect visitors. Maybe I gained a few pounds since we last met her, but I'm not that fat. You don't know fat unless you've seen our aunt's massive thighs.

That might be why I don't like visitors comparing what I look like now from before. But still...

To-do List Check

It's almost already been a month since my vacation started, so let's see if I've finished at least a few tasks in my summer to-do list...

1. Lose at least 5 pounds- yeah, like that's possible. That'll probably stay there for a while.
2. Organize the clutter in my room- done
3. Finish Growlanser 2 and Growlanser 3- check
4. Accomplish all my enrollment forms for the next school year (ain't it too early to worry about that?)- nope, I should get started on it
5. Finish Phantom Brave- I'm not even half-way through the game

So that's 2 out of 5 which means...
...
*sigh*
See ya later, then.

Oh No! Here Comes Boredom!

Boredom has reared its ugly face here again this week, and hasn't left me alone since then. Because of it, nothing special happened. It won't get out of the house even for a short walk. Now, shows aired at daytime are boring. It made my sisters hog the Playstation 2 from me. I locked myself up in my room but I can still hear the boring but very loud voices of my boring cousin boringly talking to my boring aunt about boring stuff. I'm bored, bored, and very bored.

Boredom: Prepare to experience the side effect of Boredom! Come forth, brother Idleness!

Gray:N-no! Get away from me! Noooooooo! (Hey, this is getting interesting...)



Number of times the words "bored", "boring", "boringly", "boredom" and the like were used: 14

Tagboard Added

I placed a tagboard in here. Scroll down and you'll see it under the Archives. I don't expect too many messages there, but I'd appreciate it if anyone posts there.

A Short Reflection

I knew I should've published this earlier, so I might as well now.

It was Sunday morning when I heard the news about the Pope's passing. When my mom first told me after I got up from bed, I was shocked and even denied it, for us Filipinos greatly admired him. The Sunday Mass was on in our kitchen as usual, but this time the news about the death of Pope John Paul II was being scrolled at the bottom of the screen. That was the only time I believed it. Somehow I felt guilty for not praying enough for him while he was in critical conditon.
In the afternoon, we were all watching the coverage of a ceremony inside the chapel where the Pope's remains were laid. I wasn't sure which ceremony that was because I arrived late. Later, I heard my aunt discussing the issue with her daughter. I remember her saying that it was good that the Pontiff was gently released from his suffering and is in a more peaceful place. I completely agree.
Now I accept the facts and pray that the loyal servant of the Lord may achieve the reward that he deserves.

Very embarrassing yet...

Now that the euphoria I experienced last night while posting is over, I find the last post silly now. Then again, I won't do anything to it since that's the only post I wrote very honestly and without editing it too much. One of my greatest achievements up to date.

When my body aches like this...

This time, it's not pain that I feel from the aches I feel all over. Actually, it is a very nice feeling that I try to supress and hide from others. It's the first time I wasn't so depressed this week, after many things happened. Instead of screaming while jumping up and down, I have a tendency to remain sober even when I feel extremely happy, so I think that's what happens when you bottle up all that energy.

Anyway, this is what happened. I won't be mentioning names, okay?
I was looking through a few listings I joined in the past, until I saw a familiar name in one of the FLs. It was someone from a message board that I haven't visited for a while, so I wanted to check how that person was. I visited their website and saw more familiar names from the same board, even one that I particularly got close to during my stay. What's amazing is that lots of them are from the Philippines, some even live near where I'm from, what a small world we live in!

This encounter makes me want to come back, even though I feel a bit intimidated when I'm in those boards. Yeah, I'll return, after all the pains go away. Now, my back hurts and it's getting late. I'm sure I'll sleep better tonight than the last one; I stayed awake for three hours straight in the morning, but that's another story.
