Since today is the third of December...no wait, it's technically the fourth...oh well whatever. Since it's been almost exactly a month since my last post, i shall update the whole wide world on several things that have been going on in my life.
Wait, that sounds a bit tiresome. Maybe i'll just post a few random things about today (for no particular reason. kaya nga random, di ba?)
1. I cut my own nails today. Not like i haven't done this before. In fact, I used to do this all the time before i discovered Foot Trip and the benefits of having someone fila and shape your nails for you. (it makes them less prone to chipping and breaking). Anyway, this was done because, well, they were too long, and getting panget, and in the interest of saving money. Yeay.
2. I watched part of the first season on Kyle XY last night til halos morning. Wala lang. Cute naman siya.
3. I had my second voice lesson with my teacher Mios. Kaso i forgot my CDs at home. Oops. Hehehe. I still turn red every time she asks me to sing and I can literally feel my sweat glands go into overdrive.
4. I had a very healthy squash soup for brunch, bony bangus for lunch, chopsuey for dinner, half of an uberly yummy authentic Spanish polvoron from Crissy for dessert and sinful Chinese takeout/leftovers AND a handful of dark chocolate m&ms for my midnight snack. Good going, Justine, that'll really disappear the chubs.
Bah. Tomorrow is still another day. :)

tabs and chubs day
today i went out with my brother to catch dinner and a movie.
today being a saturday, we encountered heavy traffic pretty much all the way from home to trinoma. there was a bit of a ruckus near the house, a man in a pink altis got down from his car, hit a man on a motorbike with his door in his haste, and stomped towards a tricycle driver in front of him, and flashed what i could only presume was a badge of sorts. tabs didn't notice the roadside drama as he was so keen to control django fett on his PSP.
i was all set to watch "shoot 'em up" (ooh clive owen!), but we got confused as to what was showing where, and so when we got to trinoma, we realized that we should have headed for the block instead :p so we got stuck watching "rogue assassin" (because tabs refused to watch "i'm falling for you" and tomorrow is chuck and larry day with mom).
before the movie, we had dinner at five cows, because i wanted to try something new for a change, and tabs wanted to eat in a "real restaurant" where we could sit around for a bit, as opposed to the food court downstairs. i ordered the creamy tomato soup (found it to be more tomato than cream, though not quite as tomato-ey as i like), then tabs and i shared a vongole and quattro formaggio pizza. food was generally ok, though not spectacular (perhaps the ice cream is more their specialty, since they consider themselves as a "restaurant and ice cream bar"...the lemon torte was quite yummy, although perhaps i should have ordered it along with the main course so that the lemon sherbet could have melted a bit, less struggle and more pleasure in the eating. :) tabs' crunchy apple caramel parfait was pretty good too, although i only tried a spoonful). needless to say, tabs and i were pretty full afterwards (antakaw namin e!)
and yet this didn't stop us from consuming a tumbler of buttered popcorn each as we watched the movie, which was, well, simply put...quite bad. too many loopholes in the storytelling, plus a lot of the action scenes lost their punch because they had to cut some frames out for the r-13 rating. nakatulog pa yung operator twice malapit sa dulo ng sine. buti nalang good mood ang mga tao, tawanan lang sa sinehan.
so, andami ko nanamang nagastos today (made a couple of purchases pa sa chocolate, weeheehee), pero happy naman. :D

As an afterthought...
...so there are actually more men out there like me than there are women???
No wait, given the ratio of women to men that's probably not a fair deduction to make.
I guess there are more men who are like me compared to men who aren't like me than there are women like me compared to women who aren't like me.
Confused yet? :) kewl.

Wow, so there are 23,999,999 others out there just like me!

Tamad
Tinatamad ako ngayon. Tamad mag-isip. Tamad magsulat ng maayos. Tamad matulog. Tamad tumayo. Tamad lang. Tamad na tamad.
Pero ang daming pwedeng isipin. Ang daming kelangang isipin. Daming kelangan harapin. Daming kanegahan na ayaw pansinin kasi labag na sa relihiyon ko ngayon ang maging nega.
Nakakagulat at nakapagtataka, ang daming nagsabing galit daw ako. I never thought I projected anger. Not consciously anyway.
Mabuti pa nga siguro kung galit ako. Mas madali pa nga yun e. Pag galit ka, galit ka lang. Yun lang nakikita at nararamdaman mo. There isn't much room for anything else.
Kesa naman lumulutang ka sa kawalan. Di ka na nga present, powerless ka pa. Double dead ka na nun.
Pero siguro minsan mas gugustuhin mo nalang madeds kesa makaramdam ng kahit ano.
Ang nega diba? At ang bigat. Kaya ayoko tong ipost sa multiply e. Masisira image ko. Bwahahaha. Courage and creativity daw. Mapagpanggap. Mapagkunwari. Pakatotoo ka nga.

Pamamaalam
Simula’t sapul, alam ko na. Panandalian lang siyang magiging akin. Pahiram lamang ng panahon. Patikim lamang ng tadhana.
Nangapa ako sa simula. Minsang nagkamali. Ilang ulit ko siyang nasaktan ng hindi sinasadya, pero dali-dali naman akong bumawi, at bilang ganti, ni minsan ay hindi niya ako hinayaang masaktan.
Madalas kaming maglakbay at gumala. Kung saan-saan napapadpad. Minsan na ring naligaw, subalit lagi namang nakababalik sa tamang daan at nakakarating sa paroroonan.
Marami na rin kaming nakilala’t naging kaibigan, na nakilala kami’t nakasama namin ng matagal.
Subalit ang tunay na magkaakibat ay ako at siya. Sa araw-araw naming pagkikita, pakiramdam ko’y walang hirap o pagsubok na iindahin, basta’t kami ang magkasama.
Makalipas ang ilang taon ng masaya at matiwasay na pagsasama, nagsimulang magbadya ang dating nagmamay-ari sa kanya – ang naunang magmahal sa kanya. Babawiin na raw siya sa akin. Ibalik ko na raw siya.
Ilang mga araw at linggong nangulit ang susunod sa akin, ang bagong magmamahal at mag-aalaga sa kanya.
At ngayon, nalalapit na ang panahon upang kami’y maghiwalay na ng tuluyan. Ilang araw na lamang at magpapaalam na ako sa kanya.
Ngunit bago maging ganap ang katapusan ng aming pagsasama, muli kaming maglalakbay sa huling pagkakataon.

drama
i really don't know why i enjoy torturing myself so much.
just when i'm beginning to have fun and enjoy life a little, i seem to crave a bit of suffering. it is too unbelievable that my life could actually be happy and conflict-free?
or perhaps i feel the urge to remind myself of existing conflict so as not to lose myself to bliss too soon. once you let go completely, lord knows it's almost impossible to get yourself back.
ok, maybe impossible is too dramatic. very difficult, and very, very painful, maybe. but certainly not impossible.
still, who'd want to go through all of that again?
i'm not that much of a masochist.

"crave the devotion of offspring"?? "fostering the perfect family in a perfect home"??! ewan ko lang ha.
although my dad says, "always look out for number 1." (meaning me). so i guess tama siya dun. :)
anyway.
You entered: Justine Ann Francisco Javier
There are 25 letters in your name.
Those 25 letters total to 109
There are 10 vowels and 15 consonants in your name.
What your first name means:
Latin Female Feminine form of Justin: Just. Righteous. Fair.
English Female Just; upright. Feminine of Justin.
Your number is: 1
The characteristics of #1 are: Initiating action, pioneering, leading, independent, attaining, individual.
The expression or destiny for #1:
A number 1 Expression denotes the skilled executive with keen administrative capabilities. You must develop the capacity to be a fine leader, sales executive, or promoter. You have the tools to become an original person with a creative approach to problem solving, and a penchant for initiating action. Someone may have to follow behind you to handle the details, but you know how to get things going and make things happen. You have a good mind and the ability to use it for your advancement. Because of these factors, you have much potential for achievement and financial rewards. Frequently, this expression belongs to one running a business or striving to achieve a level of accomplishment on ones talents and efforts. You have little need for much supervision, preferring to act on your own with little restraint. You are both ambitious and determined. Self-confident and self-reliant must be yours, as you develop a strong unyielding will and the courage of your convictions.
Although you fear loneliness, you want to be left alone. You fear routine and being in a rut. You often jump the gun because you are afraid of being left behind.
The negative attributes of the 1 Expression are egotism and a self-centered approach to life. This is an aggressive number and if it is over-emphasized it is very hard to live with. You do not have to be overly aggressive to fulfill your destiny. The 1 has a natural instinct to dominate and to be the boss; adhering to the concept of being number One. Again, you do not have to dominate and destroy in order to lead and manage.
Your Soul Urge number is: 4
A Soul Urge number of 4 means:
With the Soul Urge or Motivation number of 4 you are likely to strive for a stable life. You tend to follow a rather orderly pattern and systematic approach in your endeavors. You have an inner desire to serve others in a methodical and diligent manner. You want to be in solid, conventional, and well-regulated activities, and you are somewhat disturbed by innovation and erratic or sudden changes. Excellent at organizing, systematizing, and managing, you have a way of establishing order and maintaining it. You are responsible, reliable and in the final analysis, practical. Highly analytical, you can see your way through all sorts of situations and generally have a clear understanding of the issues. You are a very honest, sincere, and conscientious individual.
The negative side of the 4 is rigid, stubborn and somewhat narrow-minded. There is a tendency to hide feelings, or to really not be aware of real feelings. Avoid being too rigid and stubborn in your thinking, and try to always see the big picture rather than becoming to involved with the detail. Don't be afraid to take a chance once in awhile.
Your Inner Dream number is: 6
An Inner Dream number of 6 means: You dream of guiding and fostering the perfect family in the perfect home. You crave the devotion from offspring and a loving spouse. You picture yourself in the center of a successful domestic unit.

bigay hilig
life could be so much simpler
if i would just choose for it to be so
but complications are too much fun to forego
life's too short to take things too slow
to just sit back and enjoy the show
take the plunge and go with the flow
go through the motions
move with your emotions
take what you want and give what you can
go through the motions
move with your emotions
nothing's for certain, life's too short to plan
some people say there's comfort in knowing
but do they know where they're really going
give me a reason to stop still and think
no time to process when i'm on the brink
of delirium and discovery
no turning back, lost the map to recovery
go through the motions
move with your emotions
take what you want and give what you can
go through the motions
move with your emotions
nothing's for certain, life's too short to plan

here we are again
Arrived at work relatively early today, supposedly to go about routing some papers that I'll be needing over the next few days. The first hour at work started out fine: routed some memos, organized a mountain of junk on my table, made some calls, secured a venue for a meeting. Was still a little sleepy (what else is new), but managed to function all right. Felt slightly proud of the momentum I had thought that I had gained.
And then I stopped.
Stopped to rest, stopped to think, stopped to eat, to read, to sit, to do absolutely nothing.
Which brings me to where I am now: blogging away senselessly and regretting the grande cup of NYFD fries that i had with red hot chili peppers and honey mustard dip.
I feel like a ball in a pinball machine.
