I don't think I can live like this. I feel like such a...grrrrr.
I don't want to end up losing all of them. I don't want to lose any of them.

But writing about sports? That's alien to me. Sports was once one of my "things", but now it's grown to be a distant friend that I haven't talk to and probably never will again, even if I see him after years of being apart because then it'll be all awkward and...yeah.
But challenge accepted!
So I started drafting some ideas. Most of them involve violence and irony. And death. Always death. Then I ended up drafting an entirely different story with sports as just a side thing. I'm very sadistic when it comes to stories. Heh. In fact, I don't remember drafting a story with a happy ending, because I think happy endings suck. Reality is so much better.
Maybe this time I should exclude death, I thought.
So I made a draft of something like a love story. This athlete is into one sport, but then goes to another and another. He refers to these sports as his "girls". I was planning on illustrating the sports as girls, as though he was having affairs. Then the story would go on with their love escapades and such. It was an okay idea... but no ending (agaiiiiiiiiiin).
I asked my mom for help. And boy, she did help.
Apparently her answer was so much better than any of my ideas. And so much simpler.
I liked her story. I mean, it had the shallow irony that people would expect, but I guess I just have to make it a good story by the way I write it. [oooooh Challenge!]. No previews for this story, so I hope I get to post this here later on so you (whoever you are) can read it with no expectations (except of course that it's sports-related) :)
I hope I get to finish this story. It'll be the first short story I've ever completed. Really.

Finally, some way to express myself.
I've been
Not to be superstitious, but I think it's because it's November. I've noticed these past few days, the sky was SO BEAUTIFUL I could cry. Just looking up makes me smile the whole day. And I get excited when I wake up and see how blue the sky is. I think it's God's way of reminding me that life isn't all about ugly, and that the world is beautiful without it even trying. I think I'm in love with the sky (<--- Inspiration for a poem!)
It's not just the sky I'm loving. I don't know why, but I'm being all hippy-ish, lovey-dovey, spread-peace-y lately. And giddy. Kinda surprising considering I'm an insomniac (exhibit A: this blog). Insomniacs are supposed to be all tired and mopey when exposed to day light. But I'm not. Huh. Well anyway, this lovey-watchumucallit mood just found me another boy to crush on (hihi. Another J. How typical of me). What a nice feeling it is to crush on somebody :>
Speaking of crushes, someone (according to @EnzoMusikero, anyway) likes me. :O He won't tell me who! I got all hyper about it today, but he still wouldn't tell me. Grr. I hope he isn't lying. And I don't get why I have to wait 2 months for the answer. Tshhhh. I hope it's a smart, sporty guy who writes and plays instrumentS and sings and dances well and isn't torpe and makes funny jokes and gets my kalabuan. *sigh* Me and my standards. Hahaha
Oh! Another happy thought:

And what better way to procrastinate from studying than to write a short story!
History of the short story: My sister, Kara, had a homework in English. She had to make a short story about loneliness or nostalgia, and she needed my help. So she challenged me, and I immediately started blurting out my ideas. She didn't use any of them (pshhh), so I decided to write the skeleton down on my notebook.
Today, I found that notebook and decided "Hey, I should totally write this story. It has an ending (not like the others I made)."
I'm sorry if my pacing is weird (sometimes it would come detailed, sometimes it lacks details, blah blah blah). I get lazy/too excited sometimes.
So here it is:
Hopefully, I will get to continue this tomorrow.
If I stop my procrastinating ways. GAH.
Ta-ta.

Salamat sa Diyos na Biyernes na.
Ngunit...
Bakit pa ako nag-aalala? Hindi ba't tapos na ang lahat ng gawain na ipinagpupuyatan ko? Hindi ba't Sabado na, at walang pasok hanggang Lunes?
Eh bakit pa ako ganito - ganito na maitim ang ilalim ng aking mga mata, na nawawalan ng boses sabay piyok pagsalita? Ganito na nagagalit sa bawat taong lumalapit sa akin ng mahinahon na nakikiusap sa akin? Ganito na gutom?
Aba'y hindi ko alam ang sagot. Sana alam ko para mapayapa naman ang aking kaisipan at pakiramdam. Buong linggo ay hindi ako nakangiti. Kung kailan man ako nakitang nakangiti, plastik lang 'yun. Tuyo na ang mga mata ko sa ilang gabing nagwawakas sa iyak. Sumasakit na ang aking puso sa kakasigaw at kakasaway ng mga taong wala o mayroong maliit na kasalanan sa akin. Hindi ko nais magalit o magtampo. Gusto ko lang matulog ng higit sa tatlong oras. Gusto ko lang kumain.
Stress talaga. Kung anu-anong ginagawa sa tao. Nakakabaliw. Nakakagutom.

I can visualize it now:
My Politicial Science/ English homework is sqeezed in between a CL quiz and a Physics quiz. More quizzes are piled up against each other, including Algebra, English(?) and some other subjects I
All this, I imagine a high toppling tower.
I just want to blow it to fall. I just want to kick it. I just want to throw something at it.
I just want it to be done and over with.
It will all magically disappear by the end of the week. I wish I can sleep through it, but then that would mean I'm probably dead. I already am, figuratively speaking.
How the hell am I going to do all this in three days??
What's funny is I don't even feel stressed out. I feel oddly calm. I scare myself. Something's wrong with me.
MOVING ON
Friday was so screwed up

Life isn't simple nowadays. Everyday isn't just some other day.
Something always has to come up, like a fight or a revelation or some drama.
Whatever happened to the good ol' normal days?
I half wish those normal days would disappear. Life is honestly more exciting.

It was another monday that passed without me knowing. I slept most of the time, as always. Except today, there were no classes! Yehey.
( Warning! SONA content! )
Anyway, I don't want to go to school yet. I have about three longtests and maybe a quiz
I'm still in a YFC Visionary Camp Hangover.
I'd love love love to blog about it, but I think I'll save that for another time. Maybe when all the facebook tags have stopped :))
I really think I should be studying something right now.
OMG! I almost forgot! I failed my first algebra quiz ever! :O I got a 10/20. Don't get me wrong, I'm ashamed, but it feels a bit liberating to get a different score than my usual *ahem* twenties (hehe). But shucks, I can't be top 10 anymore. :( Asa pa ako anyway. Stupid parabolas.
God, UPCAT is stressing me. I really want to get into UP. REALLY REALLY REALLY. But I feel really really really stupid nowadays, especially when I hear them AHEAD kids recite their equations. Lucky Basterds.
Okay, enough for today. I must sleep/eat/study!
Goodmorning everybody :)

Anyway, the reason why I've been ranting about swine flu is because I'm sick. Sniffy nose, cold sweat, itchy throat - the whole package. Good thing I didn't get high fever or anything. The most I could make out of my symptoms is a common cold. I found it a good enough reason to extend my weekend. Hehe.
Being sick is so BORING. No one's online. Facebook is useless. Tweeting every second doesn't help. Too lazy to do anything else. Then I end up just watching my Sims 3 torrent download bar get higher by the hundredth percent. Then I fall asleep on the monitor, with my CPU whizzing away it's robotic lullaby. bzzzzzzzzzzzzz... What a day!
But I finally finished my book - Lullaby by Chuck Palahniuk. GREAT
Besides being physically sick, I think my mind is sick (Ha-ha, no not in that perverted way). Lately, my brain has been dumbing down like it was still summer. My brain is stuck on summer mode. Responsibility and home work are still alien to my mind. I've been too relaxed, and I know I'll regret being stupid someday. Just not now.
My hand has also been sick, metaphorically speaking. I mean my writing hand. I haven't written anything worth reading in ages. Haven't blogged or written poems, at least. I feel like everyday I wake up and forget the meaning of at least one word. That's why I put a dictionary beside my bed, because sometimes I do wake up with words just popping out of no where - words I knew I knew before.
I think reading is the cure for such illness. I just finished my dose of Palanhiuk, and here I am on the track to recovery. Yipee! I hope my other medications will work as well or better, because I still think that I am a mess with words.
On a different note, YAY! HARRY POTTER IS SO CLOSE! AAAAAAH!

What is it we’re searching for?
Love is all around
It isn’t seen
It makes no sound
But here and there it is
It’s always found
In all the places
Ever been, never seen
In all the faces
Scorned or round
Dirty browned or clean
In every person met
(Not just in spouses
Not just in flings
Not just in people
Who give you things)
But also in strangers
And criminals
And enemies
And animals
And kings
Just about everywhere
In everyone
In everything that’s bound
Love is all around.

You -
with familiarly stained shirts
and unbleachable language,

as murky as
the cespool of your muddy eyes,
with indifference
as small

I'm in a point in my life where no happiness exceeds to greatness, but also where no sadness plummets into depression.
And I'm grateful.
I'm grateful for these summer days, when none go to waste in BumLand.
I'm grateful for all the time I can spend for achieving (or at least trying to achieve) my goals.
I'm grateful that there are no classes anymore, yet I still choose to think.
So many other things I'm grateful about, but the list goes on as far as the distance to the sun and back.
All this extra time makes you realize those things, y'know.
And oh yeah, I've decided to take up Journ in UP - it's final (I think). Might do a double course with either an education course or something else like creative writing, or something that'll land me a job easily. Or maybe take a minor (I wonder if they offer that for education courses). Oh college, please make me better. Haha
My dad had one of his short (and funny) sad-freaking-out rants again. Money's always a problem. Still praying for him to find a job (sighs).

Anyway, as they say: New Year, New Life. I wonder when THAT'S going to take effect on me.
As soon as I woke up, I wrote all the dreams I could remember. I forgot a lot of details, but I wrote as much anyway.

Okay, so I haven't actually been using my LJ. This is just the place where all my Multiply posts go (even twice, if I edit it). But I think I've only ever made maybe just 1 or 2 blogs on my LJ. I've been too busy/stressed/lazy to actually update my LJ.
So now I'm going to start using it. I have no idea why. I think Multiply's the place to post pics and vids and links and all those, but it doesn't feel as...fulfilling as posting a blog there. I don't know with me. I'm just weird.
So it's 3:42 am and I'm not sleepy yet. Huh. I've been becoming nocturnal lately. I spend my Christmas break mostly on sleepy afternoons and boring late-nighters. I don't think I haven't encountered a morning that had sun in it. I do miss the sun rise :(
It's almost the end of the year, and I'm not so thrilled. To be honest, I'm not ready to say goodbye to 2008 just yet. I want to hold on to it, savor it, cherish it and just hug it forever. Oh sure, 2009 might be as much of a blast, but I'm actually pretty worried about 2009: Report Card, exemptions, prom, SIR FERIA, bad THE groupmates, and so on. I'd recall all my greatest moments of 2008, but I'd rather save that for another post (and I'd assure you, it won't be another copy-paste survey).
I've been really mean and grumpy nowadays. And Plastic. Definitely Plastic. Especially to all the relatives I've never seen before when I made beso on their probably-tired cheeks. I feel like I'm ending the year as some weirdo bad a** rebel who doesn't give a damn about whatever's happening outside her bedroom door. Not a good way to end a year, I tell you. It's bad mood every hour. What a test for temper.
Besides the whole 'bad mood' vibe thing, it seems to coincide with my "ooh, what is this feeling? could it be a crush?" emotion. Strange as it sounds, but I think I'm getting "back on the game". Lol. It's a relatively nice feeling (if I'm not in a bad mood. haha). It's exciting! I haven't really liked anyone since...I liked pies :D. Ahh, but this time it's not a pastry ;) And I think I might actually have a chance of keeping it a secret...until now (since I blogged about it and all :| ). But it's not like I'm revealing his name here anyway :P tough luck
It's always good to end things on a good note :D

Being sick has its benefits: Rest from school, weight-loss, extra time to study, do project, yatta yatta yatta...
But there's obviously more downsides to being sick. As if the sickness itself isn't enough pain, you can't go out and you end up in the hospital - Which was what happened to me.
To those who didn't know or notice, I've been absent for a week now. I got confined in Asian and there I found out I had dengue. I knew I was going to catch that someday since my family's a bit of a dengue-catching type of family (All of us kids got dengue already except one).
I didn't like it in the hospital. It was BORING and it got lonely. A lot. And my only friend was cable tv and the occasional tech doctor visiting to get a vial of my blood (That happened every 4 freaking hours!). Oh and the nurses, I can't forget the nurses. They were nice.
Sometimes there would be guests and I'd be glad since it was human contact. But then, of course, they'd leave me. Then it would get awfully lonely again :(
I couldn't even read a book because my dad keeps procrastinating about getting it for me. I could write a while, but then couldn't again because they had to transfer my IV and put a plank-like thing on my wrist to keep it from moving :(
And the whole time I was SO PISSED because I knew I couldn't go to the fair. That sucks a whole lot for me.
Things were going horrible for me. My platelet count was going down. I had LOTS of quizzes and long tests to make up for. I was missing a lot of lessons. I wasn't going to make it to Zobel Race. I wasn't even sure if I could go to fair.
But things were looking better. My platelet count went up from 78...to 79! :)) I was getting better and I still had a chance to go to fair! Hurrah!
And Today, I got discharged from the hospital and I'm GLAD I'm out of that place. Being sick isn't fun at all.
But I still can't go to fair because the doctor said I had to rest :( GAHHH!!!
Poems! :))
I was so poetry-driven a while ago, so I wrote some down on a notebook. I read them again and thought they were all crappy :))
Here they are anyway:
Sleep's Calling
My eyes, teary,
Weary from its wait
When will it come?
When will they rest?
A mystery it stays.
But when it comes by
To linger
'round the twinkles
of the twins
They want to,
But can't go
to restful slumber
yet.
"Shut them!"
No, the world's awake
"You know you want to..."
But life, Oh life!
It keeps me living
It keeps me insane.

Nothing in the dark
But Two pairs of eyes - they stare
at the moonlit night
Televised Love
Lure me in
On your precious
Vow;
Engulf me in your
Little game.
Ours is the world, a
Vestibule of
Extreme pleasures.
Let me follow
Ostentatiously to the
Very places we've
Explored. But
Lust - it takes you
Over, like a
Vacuum of
Erotica.
Lo and behold,
Only if I knew:
Voluptuous others, they
Excite you more.
Left behind - I
Over dramatize. Un-
Vindicated, emotional.
Exits are never the best.
I had more, but they're not human worthy :P
