After the storm

Got to eat pitaya [a.k.a. dragon fruit] today. Just found out a minute ago that it's the Costa Rican species and is different from what I usually ate which has white flesh. It has red flesh but other than that, there's no other difference. Wala lang. I just had to do a research on it because I got curious. Hahahaha.

Okay so I had crazy week. I'll try to go about it backwards. Beginning today.

I was supposed to attend a friend's debut party but something happened. I am not really sure how to tell her this and what to tell her. O, heavens help me. I promised and I didn't keep my promise. I wish honesty helps. But c'mon, what is there to be honest about? I have no real, acceptable reason.

Friday, I had all day and all afternoon to sleep and the night to do that design I promised a friend. It wasn't really mine but his design for his tattoo which he had me fix. I told him I'd finish it in a week but it's already been a week and I'm not even halfway finished. I hope I finally get it done so I can give it to him by Wednesday because I'll surely see him that day. XD

Thursday, already got that textbook from Microsoft that we paid for P2k. Kamown. It's paperback and it's made of special bond paper and it's heavy. The heck. And I remember what our teacher told us about that book, what we paid for, what we still have to pay. The heck, we still have to pay for an exam from Microsoft by the end of the sem and they're requiring it for the subject. It would cost about P500 to P1000 or more. I'm not really sure. I forgot what else he said but it's really annoying esp. when you've already paid  more than you usually paid and you don't get exactly what you paid for. Basta. Blah-blah-blah.

Also had this whole day or most of it to layouting. After class, I had lunch then went to the office right away. There work awaits. I really wanted to finish that whole section's [that one I was doing] page already but it's already past 8 in the evening, and the Ed and I are already both hungry and one article was still missing. I already put everything in the broadsheet template the other night but the next morning, they added pages to the template, and for some reason what I did disappeared and we had to do it again. Blah-blah, long story. To cut it short, I left work unfinished again. Surprise. What's new?

Wednesday. Circulation day. We went to distribute Palad to various locations in school and I get to ride on the back of that green pick-up truck again. It's my third time to join the circulation and the second time to go about school in that truck. It was fun as usual but tirin because one pack of Palad is twice heavier than the broadsheet. It was fun unpacking those booklets and piling it up. It was like building a wall with it. We were even joking about it being barricades in a war scene. Riding that truck was like having a motorcade. Hahahaha. The FDC blokes cheered when we passed by them at the kubos, the Ningens were busy with themselves as usual. We were waving, speaking on top of our voices, like someone doing an election campaign, in telling those we pass by to get their copies and that it's for free and they already paid for it with their tuition fees. I have started doing the layout but I wanted to join the circulation so we left for a while. Then when I got back to my work, I was supposed to leave by 5pm but Assoc-sama was on guard and Stealth mode cannot be activated so I wasn't able to go to the Pre-climb meeting for the All Women's Climb but it isn't really a problem since I cannot really join them because basta. Hahaha.

It was weird staring eye-to-eye with someone wearing shades. We happen to pass by my Elven crushie. I looked at him and since he's on the same side as I was, I know though he's wearing his shades, that he looked back at me. It was also good that he wore his shades because his eyes are very beautiful and he always gave me that weird look whenever we catch each other in the eyes.

Last Sunday, [I got an email containing this information and it was also posted in pinoymounatineer.com] at the height of the storm, three fellow mountaineers, Jhoana Pimentel and Thaddeus Reantaso of AMCI and their guest climber Joseph Pelarca, were claimed at Mt. Pundaquit in Zambales. They were swept away while crossing a swollen river. They were part of a team of 12 that made a recon at Anawangin Cove and were already on the way back when the mishap took place. It was good though that the rest of the team were able to go back safely. The bodies of Sir Anjo and Ma'am Jhoana was found 24 hours after the incident while Sit Thad's body was found only last June 25, which is also his 32nd birthday. Let us pray for peace and comfort of their souls and that of their families and friends. Also those who were left homeless, those lives that were claimed during this calamity all over the country. I hope we can all extend our help though I myself haven't given any help yet.

Oh yeah, I borrowed Charles' book by Francis Kong. The Early Bird Catches the Worm but the Second Mouse Gets the Cheese. I'm done with it and lookign for another book to read.

For some reason that I know not, everyone is having sunny days. And they were all wearing this happy shiny aura. They are also hyped, psyched, giddy and skiddy. Hyper. It's infectious and contagious and allergenic. I almost got sick with all those people moving about with so much energy. They're like hypnotic lights inside my head. Nakakahilo. Hahahahaha.

Been doing a lot of singing lately, miss ko na banda...

I miss my camera phone too... I miss Shiawase lalo... Hahahaha. Makikita ko na ulit sya! Wednesday. Yeah. Yeah. Mishyu kuya!!! He must be so busy. Love and peace! .v.

Before I go, I'll leave you na lang with a thought about destiny:

If there's no such thing as destiny, would this post ever be written or would I not be writing something else instead? Would we have known each other, when I would have known someone else? Things happen for a reason, and it's meant to be that reason why it happened.
Or something like that. Hahahah. BYE!!!

let you inner sun shine

Have you ever had days that started out gloomy, overcast and gray, only to find your spirit lift as the sun broke through the clouds, bathing the world in its brilliant glow and sharing its warmth?

THIS WEEK'S CARD: THE SUN

[tarot card number: 19

planet: Sun

season: summer

positive associations with this tarot card: happiness, greatness, enlightenment, vitality, good health, love, fulfillment

negative associations with this tarot card: misjudgement, delays, potential failure, inflated ego

simply one of the best, if not the best, cards in the Tarot. The Sun is a most welcome card and a signal of very happy, joyous times

this card can represent holidays, good news around children or perhaps news or the conception or birth of a much wanted baby

The Sun heralds a time of fun with friends and family and agreeable companionships and relationships

ultimately The Sun dispels negativity and promises of a happy ending

negatively The Sun perhaps suggests delays to your plans or achievements and does warn against arrogance and misjudgement caused by an inflated ego]

As I was relaxing, enjoying the warm sun upon my face today I thought about the joy, energy and vitality that sunshine brings.

The same vitality, joy and energy can be found with your inner sun, and knowing how to draw on this energy can help you dispel your own dark clouds caused by mixed emotions and confusion.

The Sun is one of my favorite Tarot cards as it is so positive and joyful, and whenever it appears in my reading it conjures up hope and joy in my heart. 

The Sun suggests happiness through enjoying time with family, friends and loved ones, or perhaps holidays and celebrations - if you’re not enjoying yourself in such a way, this card is suggesting you should!!

The Sun generally indicates good news concerning children, and can herald the wonderful gift of the conception or birth of a much wanted child, so if you are hoping for or planning to start a family, look out for this card in your readings.

It is a card of good health, joyful emotions and lust for life – for me it represents the very essence of life at its best.

It is our ability to let our own inner sun shine that can make such a difference; we are naturally drawn to people who are happy and positive - those with a ‘sunny disposition’.  When you can transcend negative thoughts and feelings, and instead think and feel more positively, it creates a totally different energy.

Look out for when the sun comes up in your readings, and when it does ask yourself

‘Am I being positive and enthusiastic about my life?’

‘Do people see me as happy and joyful?’

When you have days where you cannot see through the clouds of confusion or your heart weighs heavy with dark emotions, look inwards and focus on letting your inner sun shine, and dispel those negative thoughts and emotions.

Love and Joy,
Alison Day

Prophezeiung

You want water, you're given storms.

You want earth, you're given land slides.

You want winds, you're given hurricanes.

You want warmth, you're given fires.

You want to pools, you're given flash floods.

You want to rock, you're given earthquakes.

You want vacation, there's class suspension.

You think you want more?

Crimes committed are now being paid for.

For a tree cut out of greed, a life is cut off in its stead.

For a life killed for profit, an innocent life is taken in exchange.

Destruction brought about by hatred will not cease till the hater be destroyed.

It's eye for an eye in the code of Hammurabi.

All wounds inflicted against the other in time shall be healed,

But the cost will be asked back from the one who imposed.

Ask and you shall receive.

Ask for more than you received and you get more than what you ask for.

Mood : ECCENTRIC
Forgive me if you find these things weird. These thoughts, they've been running inside my head for days now. Must be the weather. I'm just feeling kinda "dark" lately. And I don't really have to make sense. Can you feel my evil glow? Woooh. Hahahaha.

School work has been lighter these days but some people, they ask too much. They wouldn't be considerate enough to think that I still have other things to do, pub stuff [which I haven't started yet], some things that I promised some people that I would do, personal stuffs to attend to, and lot more other things, and do I have to mention them all? My, my.. I did what I said I'd do but why whould I do those other things that you're supposed to do regarding that stuff that I said I'd do and did. C'mon. Sorry, I won't do it. Maybe in another time, but not today or the days that will be following this day. Sorry but I do not really feel sorry for not wanting to do your job. Do it yourself or ask somebody else to do it for you. XP

Never felt better about long weekends more than I do today. Unlike before, I don't mind missing school. I'm down to my last two book in the Chronicles of Narnia, and when I go back to school on Tuesday, I'd be done with the whole thing and I will be looking for another book to read after. Yay.

Awwness, I am watching Chef to Go right now. Rob Pengson is really....

Survivor Philippines, coming soon. Waaaah! I'll learn how to swim well and I will try out for the next season. Bleh!

Okay, someone did it again. I'm not sure if I'm more sorry for him than for that other person whom he did it too. They're both my friends though I'm closer to the other, but, well, all I can do now is wish and pray for both of them and that things get better. Ayusin nyo buhay nyo!!! Ingat kayo lagi. Hehehehe. Peace.

So what now?

Oh, yeah, I remembered. I won't be joining the All Women's Climb anymore. It's my birthday and I found out we're going somewhere. I'm going away with Mimay. Who's she? Mimay is Me, Myself and I. Hahaha, corny. I know. But, yeah, I have to go somewhere on my birthday. I had to think this through and I've decided, and I want this so bad that I have to go. I'm not sure this will be exciting for anybody but myself so. Yeah. You guys can still greet me or sing to me. Hehehehe

It's been years now, about two weeks but I'm missing cable TV again. NGC, Disney, Nick, AXN, and all those other cable channels that I used to watch. Once I get my first paycheck when I start working, that'd be the first thing I'm going to get, a cable connection. Woooh!

What do I do now? Dinner.
