three words that describe how i am feeling at this moment.
because of the loads of school works from merciless professors. (sob)
i am not exaggerating when i said that i have loads to do.
i think i and the whole class as well will be needing buckets of energy drinks and cups of coffee starting the first school day of 2008.
good luck shashi for the big year ahead!
may you not forget that tomorrow is New Year's Eve.
smile still!:)

i can feel it! hmmmm...
Yabadabadeeeeeh! i finally finished wrapping my gifts for dearest love-ones. they look rushed and a bit messy,but they're still gifts people! and oh, i've done the wrapping thing for 4 hours. how about some appreciation for the effort?hohoho (the santa laugh)
speaking of gifts, my sister thinks that i spoil surprises! how right she is! hoho.. because i can't stop myself from revealing what's inside the christmas wrappers. i guess i am not really a big fan of surprises. so i told someone lines like. "You're getting boxer shorts this Christmas!", "What color of pouch would you like?" and "Ooops, eto na 'yung gift ko sa'yo na bracelet, babalutin ko na." and my laughing mom even tried it on her already! was that so grinchy of me? sorry but i think it's funny. hoho
Christmas is just a few hours away! i wish that you guys will be with whoever you want to be with on Christmas Day. have noche buena with your family, sing christmas carols with friends or just cuddle up with a special someone. it depends on how you want it spent. the important thing is that you celebrate Christmas Day exactly the way you want it. And of course, don't forget about Christ.. because tomorrow is His day!
Have a Merry Christmas everyone!
~hugs and love from shashi~

KUYAs
KUYAs can be real pains in the ass! i'm glad i did not have one.
so you see, my bestfriend/neighbor/cousin/soul sister and i just got home from a birthday party a block away from our homes. we were still having our rubik's cube 101 when some of her guy friends told us that her brother told them to tell my bestfriend that she should be home before he does. or else, all hell breaks loose.
i know how terrified my bestfriend is of her kuya. so we reluctantly got up from our seats already decided that we are going home. on our way, very unfortunately, we came face-to-face with her brother. there we were in the middle of the road at the middle of the night enduring his biting words.
"uwi pa ba yan ng matinong babae? palibhasa hindi kayo sinasabihan ng mga magulang niyo," blah-blah-blah. though a bit dizzy from the wine i had, i swear to God i heard the PI phrase. i stopped myself from answering back because after all, he is still years older than me. ever since we were kids we were taught to respect the words of the elders. secondly, the big great brother was drunk. it was the booze talking. and thirdly, there were people watching the scene his brother had uncaringly created. on the street was her kuya's barkada and our guy friends who were gentlemen enough to walk us home. imagine how humiliated my bestfriend was.
i am doing this blog because i am so pissed of what had happened. i am pissed that i can't do anything to take back the words of her kuya that hurt my bestfriend so much. while i am doing this blog i can imagine her crying so helplessly in her room. this was not the first time that she had received stinging remarks from her kuya.
well kuya, to answer your question: yes it is already past midnight. but it does not mean that we are not matinong babae anymore! we were just girls having fun. we know we are more than safe in that party because we are in the company of our second cousins and friends. it's not everyday that we do this kind of thing. yes i had several shots of wine but i am in total control of myself. and for your information, your sister was just sitting down there talking and laughing with the rest of us. i want you to know that you are so unfair! i hope to God you realize tomorrow when you are in the proper state of your mind that you are very very wrong. it's too much to wish that you'll apologize.
on the other hand, some kuyas can be real angels. i was lying down in my bed thinking about what had happened when i received a text message from another guy cousin (kuya#2) who was with the drunk one (kuya#1) when the commotion happened. kuya#2 apologized for the way kuya#1 acted. he said that kuyas are just like that, that kuya#1 do have a point somehow. he just had a different way demonstrating his point. he said that they were just trying to protect the family. i understand, because that's what you have to endure when you live in the province, in a very small barrio, where everyone knows what everyone is doing. kuya#2 also told me that he understands about our having fun but it really is very late, and that we have to set limits in everything we do. you see? both kuyas have the same concerns. they just have a different way of expressing it. if only you could try doing that!
kuya#1: if, by any chance, you read this entry, i meant all the words i said. i hope you reflect on it.

Paskuhan 2007
December 19, 2007.
the most awaited bonggang bonggang paskuhan sa USTe!
it amazes me to think that it's my 3rd paskuhan already.
if everything goes well (and i hope to God everything will!) it's going to be my last paskuhan next year as a kolehiyala. *sniff sniff*
anyway, i could always crash in.
yesterday's fireworks was as breathtaking as always.
it was shorter though.
and it would be much much wonderful if i had someone to watch it with - like my friends!
because shashi got lost in the crowded field!
poor me. so lost. so alone.
after some time, i finally found them and i was like a kid who went running to her parents after being lost at the mall.
i sticked to their sides from then on.
took pictures.
walked around.
sang with Parokya ni Edgar.
exchanged goodbyes and greetings with friends and classmates.
then went home alone but happy, and with hurting feet.

trip to the dentist
for almost a week now, my tooth aches badly. it might be because of the buckets of candies,chocolates and chewing gum i have popped into my mouth. by the way, shashi is the owner of the world's sweetest tooth. it is not very surprising if i'll be a diabetic when i get older. so like a good little girl, my parents accompanied me to Tita Edith's (the dentist) clinic. what i thought would be just an innocent visit/checkup turned out to be not-so-innocent after all. the best choice i was given was to extract the aching tooth. i so dread this day - the day i have to open my mouth so wide and watch different instruments going in and out of my mouth. of course this was not my very first trip to a dentist. once in a while i have my teeth checked and cleaned, the holes barred. but extracting a tooth is a whole lot different thing for me! so imagine my panic when the dentist let me decide if i'll have the friggin' tooth removed right at that f***in' moment.
ba na na na..
so again, like the good little girl that i was, i nervously lied down the dental chair. if i don't have this tooth removed now, it might make me sleepless at night and it might mean no more sweets for good little shashi girl until the tooth stop hurting! this is a first time for me after Lord knows how many years. and this is the first time i'll have a permanent tooth extracted.
anesthesia, then other whatever things dentists do to patients. . .
(shashi hurting a little and she had her fingers crossed while the whole procedure was done.)
me: "Tita, may mas masakit pa po ba kayong gagawin?" asked just like a terrified four-year-old kid.
dentist: "Wala na, 'yun na 'yun."
imagine my relief. **big big sigh**
the extraction moment na! luckily, it doesn't hurt as much as i imagined it would. after some minutes, the dentist lifted the pain-in-the-ass tooth for my eyes to see. i was so glad to get rid of it. *sigh again*
Thanks to Tita Edith i can have ice cream again! and ice cream it was for good little shashi girl the moment she went out of the clinic.
Happy Andres Bonifacio Day! :)

why i am such a christmas person.
28 more days before Christmas! yipeee... there are so many things i love about the 25th of december.
one: the food! forget about the world and the bitchy word "diet". it's Christmas anyway! the following are my favorite stuffs during Christmas. of course, there's the traditional ham. nyam! special ulams, courtesy of my papa (which he calls pacham, short for pachamba. he is so paham noh? pahambog ever! hehe..) the chocolates and candies in the fridge which i can't help but munch. usually, my mom prepares my favorite macaroni salad. this is food for the gods! if i'll be stuck in an island, and there are only five kinds of food i can bring, this definitely goes! yung apat pa, saka ko na pag-iisipan. i wonder what we'll have this coming Christmas. exciting!
two: the kids! i am so in love with kids. they usually arrive in groups dressed at their best, with a sling bag on their shoulders, then altogether they'll shout "mamamasko po!" sabay mano to the elders. Christmas is about remembering the birth of Jesus Christ so it's just like saying that Christmas is for kids.
three: the reunion! relatives from other places make an effort of travelling for hours just to spend christmas with their loved-ones. just like my Auntie Janet and the whole gang. their coming home is one of our little traditions for years now.
four: the gifts and other aguinaldos! to my ninangs and ninongs: i may seem to be a big girl now. but i want you to know that i will still be accepting gifts. by the way, i prefer cash! hehe.. may God bless you more and more!
five: the greetings! it's a good feeling when you receive a lot of text messages and phone calls from people you have not heard much from. Christmas is about remembering each other.
six: the Christmas spirit! almost everyone seems to be in high spirits. no party-poopers and killjoys in Christmas Day please!
seven: the hugs, the kisses and the smiles! one seems to get a lot of these during Christmas. do it every day and this world will be a better place to live in. seriously!
seriously speaking, i love Christmas Day because it gives me an excuse to give gifts without appearing too mushy. so whoever gets a little something from me, it is my way of saying "Thanks because you've been a significant part of my life this year. You are appreciated and loved. Merry Christmas!". to those who will not be able to, i have a simple message and i hope you understand: "Naubusan na ko ng pambili ng regalo. Merry Christmas! You are loved and appreciated too." hehe lusot! :)

hey stranger
in a world inhabited by billions of strangers, how will i find the one whom my heart beats for?
whenever i am in a crowded place, walking my way out through a dozen, a hundred or so people, i have myself asking, could he be here now?
could he be that guy who i thought looked my way?
the one who bumped my shoulder when he hurriedly ran down the stairs?
maybe the guy who was hailing a cab?
or the one who was talking animatedly to a group of friends?
one of them could be him.
or not.
how will i know?
will my heart thump so loud to the point that he could almost hear it?
or will i feel butterflies and dragons in my stomach?
or will everything around us seem to stop, then something like . . .can this be love i'm feeling right now? . . . plays in the background?
cheesy?
corny?
eeeweee!
there are times when i find it hard to believe my own words, my own piece of advice to a friend who like me wonders how long she will wait, you'll find each other. . . in God's time. just wait and see.
sometimes i get tired of daydreaming and pray to God i could just stop myself from wishing and waiting.
but then again when i get tired of getting tired from waiting, i can't help but switch back to my "daydreaming mode".
again and again.
to the one i am waiting for:
while i am dreamily waiting for you, could you please think of me too?
just a little.
or is it too much to ask?
i wonder how long it will take you to work your way through the crowd.
do me a favor of keeping an eye on a dreamy-eyed little girl who might look a little tired and lost.
because probably that girl is me.
and she'll just be so happy to have met you, finally.

my Thursday
let me tell you about how great my day is:
i attended my class, had serious anything-and-everything-goes talk with my chicas Ja & Chiq, watched my roommate's pageant and went to see a wonderful movie.
sounds ordinary? yes, but my day was great nonetheless.
~THE CLASS~
that's just it! i do not have much to tell about this.
~THE GIRL TALK~
it feels so good to open up about your frustrations & fears with friends you know you can trust. it feels even better when you realize that you are actually not the only one who feel that way. and it feels awesome when you altogether laugh about the things that worry you. that talk made me love my girls more!
~THE PAGEANT~
im happy i did not miss this one! Ate Iz was so beautiful to watch. even if she did not bag the crown, she's still a winner. she made us so proud of her. congratulations to you Ate!
~THE MOVIE~
nothing beats the excitement and fun of an unplanned movie. together with my movie partners, Chiq and Lowe, we forgot about schoolworks for awhile and discover how HITMAN does his job. it was one i put to my category of "intelligent movies", the kind my average mind could not easily grasp. if it wasn't for the two people i am with, and if we hadn't re-watched the first few parts, i will not have the peace of mind i am so wishing for. the movie was magnificently done. and i suggest that you guys go see it. then tell me what you think about it.
i hope you too had a wonderful day. good night and God bless:)

"the wedding"
October 20, 2007 - Saturday
9am
Lumampong Quasi Parish Church
Indang, Cavite
So far, this was the most memorable wedding I've ever witnessed. Not just because I was made bridesmaid (and it's my first time!) and not just because it was a dear cousin's wedding, but because everything aboout it was almost perfect. The church was breathtakingly beautiful and my cousin, Ate Lhet was the most dazzling bride I've ever seen. After 5 years of being together, they've finally made it to the church.
Best Wishes to the newlyweds!
To Kuya Bi, welcome to the family.
(please hurry and give us the cutest pamangkin's)

PERFECTion!
Perfect is the 7th of my McNaught collection. I fell in love more with Judith McNaught’s creations after I’ve finished this one. I’ve been very busy sa school kaya ngayon ko lang siya naikwento..
Synopsis:
Convicted of murdering his wife, film director Zachary Benedict is driven to a desperate act. Escaping from prison, he has kidnapped Julie Mathison and spirited her away to a Colorado mountain hideout. For Benedict, it’s a last-chance attempt to salvage his blown-apart existence. And for Julie, it’s a shattering schism in the orderly world she has fashioned from her rootless childhood, the “perfect” life that she has protected so fiercely. She never imagined she could be in such a terrifying position with a man as complex and unpredictable as Zachary Benedict. Outraged and wary, Julie nonetheless finds herself tempted to believe in his innocence. And as a dangerous bond ensnares both captor and captive, Julie must unearth the truth that is buried in the shadows of the past.
Let me share with you some of the lines na nakapagpakilig to the nerve endings sakin:
“You were worth waiting twenty-six years for, Mr. Benedict.” Julie, the first time they made love
“You’re right, you are a heartless bastard . . . and the horrible part of it is that I love you anyway.” Julie
“You’re a miracle, Miss Mathison.” Zack
[I love you, Julie. Christ, I love you so much.
I’d give up all my life to have one year with you. Six months. Three. Anything.
You stole my heart in just a few days, darling, but you gave me your heart, too.
I don’t regret the loss of my freedom any more or rage at the injustice of the years I spent in prison. Now, my only regret is that I can’t have you.
I never thought of sexual intercourse as ‘making love’ until you.
I love you, Julie. I loved you in Colorado. I love you here, where I am. I will always love you. Everywhere. Always.]
… excerpts from Zack’s letter
“Don’t ever stop loving me.” Zack
“I am going to bed in exactly three hours. Be there with me. And when you close your eyes, my arms will be around you. They’ve been around you every night since we parted. Good night, sweetheart.” Zack, over the phone
“I felt loved. Incredibly, completely, unconditionally loved. Even when you thought I was a deranged murderer, you were still fighting and crying for me. I have never known a woman who has as much courage as you. . . Or as much love to give.”
“The whole damned world has witnessed our misery. Let them see what happens when a hardened escaped convict meets up with an angel who believed in him. Kiss me, Julie.”
“You make me very happy, I’ve had more fun with you than I’ve had in my entire life.”
“As long as you’re there and we’re married, it will be wonderful.” Zack
“You’re the gift. You have more sides than that diamond you’re wearing, and I’m so damned crazy about all of them.” Zack
“You are so perfect.” Julie
“We’re perfect together.” Zack
“I’m exactly where I wanted to be at this moment. The only place I wanted to be.” Zack
…Julie had stood by him when the world branded him evil, wanted him when he had nothing to offer her, and taught him about forgiveness. She cheered for his triumphs, supported him when he was right, and stubbornly opposed him when he was wrong. She reinvented his life for him and filled it with purpose and meaning and laughter and love. And then she gave him his son…
I used to be ashamed
And now I am proud.
The world once was dark
And now it is bright.
I used to have dreams
But now I have hope.
Thanks to Julie.

what my name means
aside from being sexy, sizzling hot, adorable, ravishing, gorgeous. . .
ehem ehem eheeeeem! sorry, my imagination has gone too far :)
here's what S-H-A-R-R-Y means, according to
http://www.bostonuk.com/name_meanings.php
You have enormous vitality and originality making you a dynamic individual with great charm and sex appeal. (wuhooo! told 'ya). You believe in putting one hundred per cent into all your activities of which there are many. You have potential to achieve great success in business or public affairs where your friendship and consideration of others wins you many allies. Your innate strength and determined effort is able to overcome any obstacles. Freedom is important to you.
eh kapag S-H-A-S-H-I kaya?
You are both a visionary and a realist able to bring your dreams into a tangible form. Pioneering and ambitious you accept new challenges and the responsibilities which go with them willingly. Your sound judgement, resourcefulness and positive nature means that your progress in life is assured. Certainly your kindness and generosity to others and your inspirational manner attract success as well as many admirers. (i knew it!haha)

NARROW GATE
this morning i've been to YFC Cluster Assembly which we have every 4th or last week of the month. like every assembly i thoroughly enjoyed it lalo na 'yung activity/game namin - NARROW GATE. i could recall na nilaro na yun sa Pinoy Big Brother Season 2. i don't know how they called it then. the game works like this: there were strings na itinali sa gilid ng mga place na makakaform ng parang web. all of the group members dapat makakatawid dun without touching the strings. kapag sumayad everyone na nakatawid na will do it all over again. we were ten in the group. the first two times were palpak kase sumayad sa string. i was ecstatic when we first made it through the string. then came the second, the third and so on and so forth. i was the 6th person. medyo nakakakakaba kase baka mahulog ka and you might hit your head, nakakahiya kase you have to be lifted by the brothers for you to get to the other side pero all in all, it was a fun fun fun activity. both teams were trying their bestest. in the end, wala din naman nanalo kase the last person na tatawid can't make it na hindi gagalaw 'yung strings. i remember that it was sam milby who was the last guy to do that sa pbb. he amazingly jumped through it like a dolphin jumping through hoops. wala naman samin makakagawa nun, so that's how the game ended, walang panalo pero i still think that we're the better team! hehe.. go group 2! sana next assembly mas madami na maka-attend so it'll be more exciting! god bless. . .
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHACHUNG AND HARISHNA! :)

Last night was an emotional night for some of us. Next Sat, a beloved will be leaving for Singapore to try her luck. Madrama ba masyado? That’s because our clan is not used to seeing someone from the family leave, especially in such a short notice. Ganyan lang talaga kame ka-bonded and anyway, life is a bag full of dramas diba? The last poem I made was for her nga pala. So ayun, my girlies were crying,ung iba mejo tinamaan na din kase ng tequila. I grabbed the camera and became the night’s camerawoman. The usually “iyakin me” find that there were no tears to suppress, really! Siguro dahil alam kong there’s always good in goodbyes. And I know she’s gonna be alright. . .
MyChristmasWishlist
Since malapit na din naman matapos ang first –ber month for this year, I had come up with my Christmas wishlist na. So here it is my dear love-ones, alam kong you’ve all been waiting for this (shit,tigas ng mukha!) and remember it’s in no particular order (nampucha! Sobra na!haha) :
· JudithMcNaught’s Almost Heaven
· Judith Mcnaught’s A Kingdom of Dreams
· Judith McNaught’s Someone to Watch Over Me
· Judith Mcnaught’s Something Wonderful
· Judith McNaught’s Tender Triumph
· brand-new camera phone! (‘yung mejo latemodel naman please?)
Para sa mga hindi pa nakakaalam ng halatang obvious na kaalaman, I’m a super fan of Judith McNaught. I already have 7 of her books (thanks to dear MICHY for my 6th!) and I intend to have all of them! Hehe.. The last item on my list will be very much appreciated too! Wuhoooo! That’s the spirit! Tandaan na Christmas is all about giving and sharing (on your part). Xempre dapat may tagatanggap din ng mga isheshare nyo. And I’m wholeartedly very uber willing to play the tagatanggap part. Pasayahin po ang mga batang katulad ko ngayong pasko.. hehehe
Thank you in advance! Merry Christmas! ;)

bon voyage!
for a love-one who is going through so much in her life right now. hold on. God is with you. we are here for you. i miss you.
The strongest of men, no matter how tough,
Loneliness in his heart, he can not bluff.
There comes a point when enough is enough.
You wonder if someday you'll ever laugh.
Heartaches, heartbreaks, surely are hard to mend.
Only you can bring misery an end.
If only the heart, to the mind will bend,
There would be no more painful scars to tend.
Time will come when it won't hurt anymore.
Happiness will come knocking at your door.
To you, now, life is becoming a bore.
You'll find home like waves that retreat from shore.
I do wish you return with renewed force.
I pray that things do not get any worse.
Lean back, just let healing run its course.
Hope you come back with no trace of remorse.
Go spread your wings, sail away, start anew!
Go wherever you are brought by your shoe.
At the end of the day, sunny or blue,
You'll find us patiently waiting for you.
. . . you're gonna be alright.

"Sorry, wala."
Kanina, while I was roaming around Quiapo, looking for pirated DVDs (sorry authorities! pag mayaman na po ako, original copies na po ang bibilhin ko), there was this lola na karay-karay ng isang batang babae, maybe her apo, and they are begging. In the corner of my eye, I saw them coming near me. Ayun na, kumalabit na si nene at nanghihingi ng limos. What I had in both pockets were 2 ube paper bills, 1 ninoy, 1 bente and not a single barya. Sa kalye, when I'm asked, sometimes I give, sometimes I don't: pag mahirap bumunot ng anda, pag wala akong barya o pag talagang nagmamadali ako. Pero always, as in always, I tell them in my politest way that I'm sorry. Back to the real story here.
I muttered "sorry" meaning hindi ako magbibigay. Nakakahiya naman pag hiningian ko siya ng sukli to my paper bills.
Kalabit ule.
I politely shook my head.
More kalabit.
"Sorry, wala."
To my surprise, biglang lumakas ang boses ni nene at sinabing (in Bisayan or Waray, i'm not sure, basta ganito ang thought),
"May pambili ka nga niyan ate, hindi ka man lang makapagbigay."
Touché.
Shi-noo away siya ni kuyang tindero. In short, umalis siya ng hindi ako nagbigay. A part of me ang gustong umalma dahil sa sinabi ng bata. "Ineng, hindi ko naman ata obligasyon na bigyan ang bawat pulubi sa daan ng limos. Hindi rin naman ako mayaman."
Pero a bigger part of me was screaming,
"Oo nga naman, tama nga naman 'tong bata na 'to." (sabay kutos sa sarili ko)
I am very much aware na kahit hindi rin naman ako mayaman, I am not deprived of my basic needs at kaunting luho sa katawan, na napakalaking swerte ko compared to that little girl and her lola. God wasn't smiling when I ignored these two people. I remembered the homily given by our parish priest weeks ago:
(again, not the exact words pero the thought was exactly this)
"Hanggang napapaisip ka, natitigatig at naaalarma to all the horrible things happening around you, there's still goodness in your heart. Ibig sabihin hindi ka bato. That's a good thing."
Why am I doing this post? 'Coz I had myself thinking afterwards, natigatig at naalarma naman ako with that little incident, with the girl asking for some help and with me ignoring them. That I realized nung umalis na silang maglola. In my heart, may kabutihan pa rin na nasa loob. The only problem is how I will be showing, giving and spreading this goodness in my heart.
To lola and the little chica, sorry! And I actually prayed for the two of you.
To myself, do better next time ineng!

I doubt if you ever have a clue,
Every chance i get i still think of you.
In my prayers I've never forgotten to
Wish that you would think of me too.
In the conversations that we had,
I was delighted I made you laugh.
Hearing that sweet laughter aloud,
To me that was more than enough.
I can't help but think of the 'could-have-been's',
If I di'nt think twice following my whims.
In my mind I still have the 'what-if's',
The chances I once had and let slipped.
You used to be in the picture.
But now I have never been sure.
I just hope that somewhere in the future,
The emptiness in me you'll come to cure.
~cheboom! i used to mean this poem with all my heart and soul,. take note: used to! it's over, done with, finished! weehee! i'm free. . .superguy flies no more.gb:)

a blessing that i have run across this one! it's an eye-and-heart-opener for me.. grabe! sana everytime i will complain about how fat i am getting, or i have nothing new to wear for a lakwatcha, or pray for a new phone to replace my karag-karag 3120, sana, sana talaga maalala ko that i have read this! many blessings go unnoticed. pero andiyan lang sila. every morning, paggising natin that's a big blessing already! some people die on their sleep. we're lucky people na nagigising pa tau and thus have another chance to face the challenges of a new day, a chance to solve our existing problems.. be appreciative of these problems pa nga, kase it only means na napapansin tayo ni God, that He trusts us and our abilities so much na masosolve natin ang mga problemang 'yon. while reading this, sinusubukan ko hulaan kung anong klaseng blessing ang kasunod ng nauunang phrase, pero until matapos ko na basahin, wala talaga ako nahulaan. it means that i'm one of those people who live a life wishing for so many things that we often forget the things we already have. ang mga simple things that bring us the truest joys in life! sa mga prayers natin, imbes na "sana po ganito", " sana po ganyan", "bigyan mo naman po ako" "sana po, sana po, sana pooooooo!" why dont we try saying things like "thank you kase may pamilya ako, sa mga kaibigan ko, sa school na pinapasukan ko, etc etc etc." the list never stops! dahil ganyan ang mga blessings ntin sa buhay,never-ending, always pouring! we just refuse to see them even if they're already right in front of us. make everyday a Thanksgiving Day! Thank you Lord for today.. for yesterday and even for tomorrow. thanks thanks thanks!

i wanna be . . .
i want to be an artist
and express the craziest thoughts in my mind.
i want to be an artist
whose creative thoughts make the world shout with pride.
...the artist who lives his life the way he likes it.
...the artist who just leaves his world when he wants it.
i want to be the girl
who can get away with just her winsome smile.
i want to be the girl
who turns everyone's heads when she passes by.
...the girl whose very ground she walks upon is worshipped.
...the girl whose wish is granted when she had her hair flipped.
i want to be a baby
who cries his heart out when he is upset.
i want to be a baby
who sleeps safe and sound when his needs are met.
...the baby whose only defense from the world is a giggle.
...the baby who innocently plays with toys in his cradle.
i want to be a bee that wanders around freely.
i want to be you so i'll know what you think of me.
i want to be everybody.
i always want to be somebody.
but for today, i decided i'll be me.
...grateful and happy that God made me me.

my first blog entry ever
Hello! I am a newbie here. I am just amazed about how people talk about the most exciting happenings in their lives, in full details! 'Coz i think that it's not among my list of skills. I find it so hard to kwento and and re-kwento what i've been told. I'm afraid I am a forgetful person that I fail to remember even the climax of my story. I just know that it's something exciting!;} So now, here I am and I'll be trying my damnest best to tell you about my life, not everything about it but at least I'll give you a taste of it. What's the use of keeping it all to myself?! How's my first one huh? I think I'll like it here! Bye for now! ~hugs~ ~muahz~
