I have a choice, like it's some sort of a thing that I could turn my back to whether you like it or not.
Something that you don't want in the first place but insisted on pursuing.
I have friends here with whom I could spend lazy evenings with, tell-tales, share how hard and happy being a parent is, and everything else.
I have people around me who can influence me, like the ones around you.
You have to be scared of something like the way I do.
Life is miserably as it is, I don't think I need any more add-ons.

Some things: 1. Work - Its running to third week of doing nothing. Work's on-hold (if that's how it's called) because of this certain 'aspect' that is yet to be finalized. 2. ...which makes it possible for me to read more blogs - Fashion Blogs to be exact. Will write about this on a separate entry. :)
3. There's something wrong with my toe nails. 4. My silver metallic havaianas, which I bought last year, has finally given-up on me about a month ago. Hence, I'm wearing slippies that don't jive well with most of my clothes, and with the condition of my toe nails, this is one hell of a curse. 5. Had my hair coloured. And i wasn't satisfied, but this will do for now. I'm currently weighing on what I prefer more, a haircut or a perm. What do you think? 6. I want to go raid a thrift store somewhere in Espana or Quiapo. I've visited one recently at Makati Cinema Square, the most accessible from the office, unfortunately, the items were expensive, considering that the stuff are second-hand. 7. Marlboro Lights Menthol. OMG! How many sticks do I smoke now? First, it was at a minimum of 4stx, then it turned six, and now, I can almost fucking empty a pack of ten. Lessen this, I must? (I know)
8. Four days in a row, I Was Late! Dang! 9. Christmas is in "tell-me-how-many-days", and there's the scare of a very long holiday break, talk to me about the getting inarguably broke. Ayayay. 10. Fashion, and the love for it. 11. Marketing Plan due on the 26th. 12. The "IM-CONFUSED-WITH-MY-ROLE-HERE". Not MY role, but I think someone here is actually in this stage. This person must have a clearer set of responsibilities 'cause instead of helping, s/he's sort of irritating. 13. Lastly, my birthday's in a week? Plans? You tell me. :(
What I'm wearing today: pink puff sleeved top, gray sleeveless, skinny jeans, pointed toe flats, necklaces, bracelet

I got her link from Eugene's blog, and guess what, I couldn't help but me amazed by how dedicated she is with fashion. I love her style, and her inspirations.
Am trying to read all her past entries, but it'll take me days before I can finish them all. Tsaka, nakakainggit. Hahaha!
One thing though: I don't know her name. :)

So Matagal Ka Na Palang Patay... (Sir Ferds to Ayeen)
 Afternoon, Seventh of November.
Sir Ferds: Hello!
Ayeen: Hello po!
S.F: Saan ka nagwowork ngayon? Musta La Salle Dasma? Tagal na ako 'di naiimbitahan dun ah.
A: Digitrax Sound Productions po. Hindi na rin po ako nakakapunta sa La Salle eh.
A: Naku po, wala na rin ako balita with HF.
S.F: Wow, puno ng musika ang trabaho ha. Hehe.
S.F: Ano bang natapos mo?
A: Ahahaha. Oo nga po eh.
A: Broadcast Journalism po
A: Pero sa marketing ako ngayon. Hehe
A: Tagal ko na nga po 'di nakakapagsulat eh.
What he responded sort of knocked me back to reality, as I've been drifting for quite some time now...
"Dapat nagsusulat ka pa rin.
daming dapat isulat. saka di ba hininga ang pagsulat?
so matagal ka na palang patay
at di humihinga
at parang robot na.
hahaha"

Mr. Ferdinand Pisigan Jarin and I met because of
the Palad Creative Writing Seminar, which I organized when I was the
Literary Editor for Heraldo Filipino (official student paper of
DLSU-D).
How I got his name, I totally forgot now, but he
has been so accommodating and friendly ever since. He has this cool
vibe, and unlike some literary writers, it was easy to be around him.
After the workshop itself, we got to still communicate since I
requested him to be one of the judges for the creative writing contest.
The seminar was like the pre-requisite of the contest, although it
wasn't compulsary to attend to be able to join.
Anyway, when I graduated in college, which was in
March of last year, I saw Sir Ferds at SM Megamall. I was there because
there was an event that my then-company was part of, and he was there
because his wife wanted them to see Bea Alonzo and J.Lloyd's movie.
Hahaha. We got to exchange greetings, then I returned immediately to
the booth that I was manning. After that we haven't had time to talk,
since most of the time I would feel very shy to send an IM even if I
often saw him online. Heehee.
That brief cyber encounter made me realize two important things.
First, one of my flaws really is that I don't know
how to retain connections, or to nourish them to become friendships or
closer ties. In my twenty-one years of existence I've met a lot of
people already. However, due to some undistinguished reason, I don't
remember them clearly. Are these intentional? Poor memory, perhaps? I
don't really know. Like, when I was on my way home the other day, I
suddenly thought of something. It was some time in college, when I got
to be involved with the Student Council because of my very close friend
Lhen, who at that time was a student volunteer. I remember staying
in SC Office up to 8pm, helping them out prepare for some important
event. I remember going to their team building at an apartment near the
school, which they used to do once a week. I was introduced to a bunch
of people, but it occurred to me, I don't remember anyone. I was there,
I played parlor games with them, but I don't recall the people who I've
met that night.
Weren't the people who I've encountered before in the various events of my life not worthy of being remembered?
I don't think so.
Maybe, I'm just weak when it comes to really being friendly or
establishing friendship. And to be honest, I'm a little regretful for
being that way. Hence, I'm trying to open myself up to being friends
with people, or the least, not to be shy with the people who I've
already met. A simple greeting won't hurt anyway. Just the way I did
with my MEG editor who I sent an IM to last week, but that's another
story. :-)
Second, truth cuts deep, I haven't really pushed
myself to get into writing again. It's been more than a year already
since I've written some creative piece. I admit, I was not excellent at
the craft but I'm proud to say that I was better than most people I
know. I could make a shallow issue seem like a big deal whenever I wrap
them up with metaphors. The Filipino language has been my medium.
Before, I could claim that I'm doing good with creative writing. But
now, after lagging for a long time, I cannot even compose of a single
line, a simple poem.
Aye-aye. Sir Ferds has really knocked my senses. I
haven't been breathing, he's right, I suppose. Thus, from hereon, I'll
make a serious attempt to resuscitate the writer in me. I need to
play with words again. I need to catch the wave. Must look for my dear
friend, The English-Tagalog Dictionary, tonight. :-)
And if I remember it correctly, this was included in my "MUST-DO LIST
BEFORE 22". My birthday's in bleep days pa naman... I still have time.
I know, this will be hard, but what's not hard nowadays, anyway?
Wish me luck. :-)

Would you believe that it was actually a message to God? Yeah. I'm stressed that way. I cuss. A lot. Sometimes, I say it out loud. Most of the time, it's all in my head. Just to end all wrong assumptions, once and for all, I am claiming that 'the furious blog entry' wasn't intended to any person in particular. As a matter of fact, I think it was intended to God. He who has the power. He who has the sole idea why everything happens. He, who at this moment, I don't really get. Let me put it this way... In our lives, we experience being covered by either blue or grey skies. Each day, we have our inner voice hoping that the day ahead is somewhat according to what we want. It's invigorating to see the ray of light as if it majestically greets us at the start of the day. Sunrise has this certain effect on people. For me, it's some sort of a reminder that it's another fresh start. The breeze of the morning, whatever month/season, can definitely make you feel new. It conditions you to get out of bed, or stay in for some reason, and just live life, since you're given another chance to do so. There's your sunlight, your dawn - a chance. But what if, despite the obvious light-shade up above, you feel like you are clouded with all things grey and dull? Everything seems heavy as if you carry the world on one shoulder. All seems unorganized, chaotic. Sure, there are still some things that are in their proper places. But since majority of what's been going on around you is like a huge ball of mess, you don't seem to notice the good. You don't seem to notice the light. This is where I am. For the past year, I have been thriving to be positive. Thinking that in spite the burden of all these sufferings and mishaps, there are bits of good things in life. Things that supposed to lift up the slowly deteriorating spirit to fight, to move forward, to go on living. I have always been in the edge of snapping to escape, cutting my wrist, jumping off the building, stopping in the middle of the highway. Pure crazy stuff, but believe it or not, they came to me at one point, except for the jump. Admittedly, the cycle became tiring. One day, you're good, then the next, you're down, so so low, and you wish that they weren't real, more of like a nightmare to either shrug off or laugh at once you wake up. What with the waiting, unmet expectations, unaccomplished tasks, unfulfilled plans, dreams, all has become dragging. Like I was just to suck up every pieces life has to offer, and be contented. Unfortunately though, satisfaction was not even close. And with all the expectations, and the good vibes that I've kept within me, I remain disappointed. I've waited for, what, a whole year to witness change. I've been brave, albeit being weakened once in a while. I've laughed it all off at day, and cried it to sleep at night. I've never prayed as much before, never even had that faith in Him before. And just the same, here I am still disenchanted. I wouldn't be able to send off good vibes, sunshine-y happy thoughts. Sure, focusing on the negative won't do me any good. Sure, it's all about keeping up with my emotions and controlling my mind. Sure, this is but a test of faith. Sure, I know. But tell me, how do you start all over again? How can you never get tired? How to ignore, not notice? How to not question? How do I do these? These, on top of the 'WHYs'. These, on top of the "I-wish-I's" or "I-could-have's". How to continue trusting? Yearning? Believing? Putting my faith aside does not mean I am already a non-believer. First, I think someone's right by saying that you cannot question Him and not believe at Him at the same time. Second, I'm not even proud that I'm experiencing this. I just need time to seek something strong to grasp, and balance me once again. I am not God. "But it's all relative Even if you don't understand Well it's all understood Especially when you don't understand And it's all just because Even if we don't understand Then lets all just believe
But there you go once again You missed the point and then you point Your fingers at me And say that I said not to believe I believe I guess I guess it's all relative"
