You know they say that the greatest joys like the greatest sorrows are spent in quiet moments. Well, mine is some sort of great joy. Those quiet moments, full of rest and reading non law school books for the first time in years, enjoying my solitude and smiling all the time. I don't want loud music nor loud parties nor too much action this sem. I want my solitude and my quiet life back. I want to watch movies, want to drink coffee without the morning rush and suck the marrow out of life. listen to calm, composed music, no more heavy rock muna. no more too much gimmicking right and left. I want to go out of town and breath the fresh unpolluted air. I want to spend more time with family.
It's nice too that I get to attend Sunday Mass without the rush and pray longer and talk with my creator. Thank him for many blessings these past few years and this year, this day and the now. I've lived it up and I hope for more happy times to come.
However, despite this sea of contentment I am currently in I know I have to raise enough stress induced adrenaline in my veins to study, study, study for the bar next year. It's my initiative I have to find nowadays.
I just want to thank God for the blessings I have everyday, I'm so heartfeltfully thankful that I enjoy my life and am loved by the people who really matter.

non-matronic Me
iT's an epiphany to me that I come off younger than I am pala. I met someone of the opposite sex who is so like me. He has such a young mindset. i REALLY DOn't know kung ok yun o hindi. It's just funny that he is like that despite the seriousness of what he does on a daily basis. pretty immature? hindi naman cguro. Just very young and upbeat. Hehe....
Ohmigosh!!!! I belong to the 'ageless' forever young club pala. my face, my mindset, my panicky self during exams and my quick temper at times etc....don't know kung OK yun o hindi. Just discovered another facet of myself. I thought I was matronics. Maybe to Al I was his matronics. Hehe....:-) Age is just a number but sana as we mature, magtugma din yung ugali, di pwede bata forever.

Sleeps With Butterflies
by Tori Amos
Airplanes Take you away again
Are you flying Above where we live
Then I look up a glare in my eyes
Are you having regrets about last night
I'm not but I like rivers that rush in
So then I dove in
Is there trouble ahead For you the acrobat
I won't push you unless you have a net
You say the word You know I will find you
Or if you need some time I don't mind
I don't hold on To the tail of your kite
I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies So go on and fly
then boy Balloons Look good from on the ground
I fear with pins and needles around
We may fall then stumble Upon a carousel
It could take us anywhere I'm not like the girls
that you've known But I believe I'm worth
coming home to Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies With butterflies So go on and fly boy

just today :-)
I was reading READER'S digest a while ago. I found answers to some questions that are interesting:
i'll type them here:
1. is money the root of all evil?
no. greed is.. Elvis nailed this one when he said, "sharing money is what gives it its value."
my personal take: No. it's not but in the Philippines I'd say 90%. It's the economic situation here, the corruption. the questionable hypocritical double standard morality in society that permits young lemans and old married todds. yes, poverty can damage social values. it's terrifying.
however, i think it's getting better. Koreans are coming by the planeload. Indians. Chinese. they want to be naturalized here. do they know something we don't? is it the educational system? the nicer subdivisions in the South? Maybe. Tumaas na yung sweldo sa UP. ok na naman cguro compared to before. i don't want to talk about the business climate here. too serious topic. want to relax...
2. does money really buy happiness?
no. because happiness isn't for sale. many people get tripped up on this, amassing wealth only to find themselves in a bottomless yearning that is unsatisfiable.
my personal take: not really but i'd say 60-40. in life, you can enjoy more if you have money but I don't think I can enjoy spending the money if it came from something questionable or immoral or illegal for that matter. It has to be from some legitimate source like a business or your salary from work. maybe your parents if you are still studying. marrying for money for me is yuck, yuck, yuck. cguro ok lang if you really liked him because of him talaga or because pareho naman kayo.
3. How do you know when to end a friendship?
As soon as you get the sneaky suspicion it never really began.
my personal take: i always try to be a good friend. i really do. but i'd say if it's too toxic already and you are being used, manipulated and you can't stand it anymore, then it's time to get out. you see, if you're a bit acquiescent like me, people tend to judge you as nice and submissive. cguro i am. but i also have my limits. I've met all sorts: narcissistic disorder types, attention deficit disorder types, delusionaries of grandeur types.they can be entertaining too you know..hehe....a lot. remember this though, Friends, they come and they go. you have to choose them well. but rule of thumb: a friend is someone you enjoy being with and you feel you can trust. I like people who are 'very real'.
4. Can a man and a woman ever just be friends?
Yes! but you have to find him a little repulsive to prolong the friendship for life.
my personal take: Yes. in fact, i think in a romantic relationship you have to be good friends first. If he can't relate to you in a profound, matiyaga and broad minded way, then he is only a 'good friend' and never a 'boyfriend' or 'husband' material. He has to be very very neat with himself and his stuff. never judge by skincolor ok. fair people can be dirty. Usually if you're from the same background, you'd relate well. mahirap masyado magka-iba. i don't mean appearances or looks. i mean mindset, background, ugali, education, values and what he or she wants to get out of the relationship.
note: This is quite long Q and A. Hehehe... :-) that's all..
