mine are trivial

what's wrong with the world today? make that philippines, on a local scale...

turn on the tv and sad, devastating, draining news are thrown at you...

the last ultra stampede victim was buried the other day. the agony for those left behind does not end there though.

families of those buried alive in the leyte mudslide are losing hope that there is still life beneath the monstrous dirt.

can't imagine how an entire village was engulfed in mud... and they were helpless.

another mud/landslide in zamboanga... illegal loggers blamed...

loggers gain at the expense of human life... not too much life... only 1,800+ just ditched in dirt. and some more when other mountains collapse soon.

mayon volcano shows signs that it will errupt some time soon.

students of st. andrew's school rushed to hospital for mercury poisoning.

magdalo group threatens malacañang of a bloody event on friday. residents near malacañang advised to vacate the area by friday.

makes me think...

~ my rants are trivial.

~ there are bigger issues in the world than my sighs and "problems"... or are they problems at all?

~ there are other people with worse burdens than my so called personal dilemmas.

~ so when i feel like complaining, i will swallow them instead.

~ my private circle is a mere dot amidst the vast matters of the universe that ACTUALLY MATTER.

~ and IT'S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT ME.

jimela - gives the best hugs in the world for free!

the best life lifter... jimela. what's more? jimela gives the sweetest hugs and kisses! she calls me ate tat and kuya says she always looks for ate tat. can i just keep you? hihi...

staring sternly

found an interesting piece at the bus on my way home from work. looks like a screw or something and i noticed it was staring at me. hihi paranoid?

sleepful on post-vday

this is becoming a journal of my sleeping pattern... how interesting. argh.

9am, my body was dying hehe. i was really tired and i had to lie down and be dead for a while. i had a couple of startling moments 'cause it's beginning to feel like summer here... and i moved closer to the fan... and drowned back to sleep.

by 6pm, my alarm rang and... i snoozed it - every 9 minutes until 8pm. lousy girl.

sleepless on vday

*yawn... i've been trying to get some sleep since 9am. time check: 2pm. what's wrong with me... feeling a little hot... and when i turn the fan on, i feel cold. sigh. my mom gets these signs... 'cause she's menopausing. could it be... i'm menopausing too? hihi.

hey! it's valentine's day! happy valentine's day, everyone! it's a nice day (except for the absence of sleep. darn it)...

hmmm... got my mom orange roses. nice... so bright! :) there are ferreros from kuya and strawberry pudding from ma. this day (and the following more days) will be sweet hihi. craving for blueberry cheesecake too!

no date tonight - work instead... neither for the coming weekend - my fartner's on an outing.

i sooo want to sleep...

thinking about it... thinking about it... give me strength and courage. i won't mind... would i? think more...

manila girl -- NOOOT!

how i feel today: very full. yum... relaxed... at the same time frustrated. can't seem to find my copy of smallville 05-5. yeah... i'm waaaay behind! frustrated pa because of waiting... ever!

yesterday, maricor and i went back to dangwa to finish off the trade for my friend's flowers (yaigs iba sa pandinig). on my way home, i found the post office in lawton. maricor's instruction last wednesday was to get off the fx when i see the post office. problem is, i don't know where the post office is... so there it was... nakita ko nga sya. how could i not know a structure so grand?

i realized that though i grew up in manila (pque, that is), there are so many places up (semi)north that i'm not aware of. i mean lawton and sta. cruz and quiapo are mere board signs i see in vehicles but i don't really know where they are (back then). the farthest i'm familiar with is vito cruz... isama mo na ang pedro gil - when, way back college, we would "wander off elsewhere" (in short mag cut ng class to watch movies hehe. ay mas mahaba pala un).

when was the last time i visited luneta? or have i actually been there? manila zoo? the national museum? planetarium? so many places to go to... so little time and so little knowledge hehe.

but hey! can i just add that i'm a pro in paranaque and las pinas? i know a little of makati and cavite and valenzuela and sta. rosa (ay via shuttle pala yun) and... ummm... i can go to mindoro and puerto galera by myself! haven't tried that yet though. ummm... and i've travelled from ohio to new york (and back) ALONE! hehe!

well... i'm not a manila girl after all... ano ako then? probinsyana? bwahaha!
