Attitudes are contagious. Let's change the world. [:
the rant you'll never read.
You can't bring us down. We're never gona stoop to your level. You can try to brainwash everyone is this damn house but I swear, in the end you're still by yourself. You're the only one who's fucked up at heart.
..
&You spread shit that I'm never home 'cos I'm "up to no good w/ another boy" or "always out," when you have no idea how hard I'm tryna get my life straight along w/ everyone else's I care about just so we don't end up like you. I don't argue w/ you not 'cos I'm scared, but because you're not worth it at all. I can take the snude remarks, but fuck w/ the people close to me & I'll tell you something different.
Want the reason I'm never home? Take a good look in the mirror.
Eff you& eff off.

watch me.
The past couple of weeks I've felt like I've been slowly falling apart. I've been yearning for anyone to just pick me back up. But I understand everyone has their own shit to take care of. I wana be strong enough, to hold myself together; Strong enough to hold my patience when others can't. Strong enough to not feel that electric shock that runs through my every limb when something bothers me .. Strong enough to not even get bothered in the first place. Strong enough to not give up. Strong enough to believe in myself because others can't. Strong enough to only need myself. Strong enough to keep going. &Strong enough to love myself the way I want to be loved by another.

mixed concoction.
I think six months of not having a crammed schedule like I'm used to slowed me down a little. The past few weeks have been a winding rollercoaster: ultimately high on this wonderful life I have been blessed with, then give me a couple of hours& I'll feel like breaking down into tears. I cried twice last week. So ridiculous. &The sad part is I actually stop myself each time after like, two minutes. 'Cos I feel weak for crying. ..Who does that?, lol. Sometimes I think I'm a hysterical nutcase.
I can't even post a decent blog cos I don't even know what to say.
I'm just stressed, phew.
Tomorrow please come faster. I need this roadtrip.
Okay, time in. Game time. ♥

goodbye, Summer.
Letting go of Lei. Taking hold of Ary. Overlooking Long Beach, first time at a high-class restaurant. Going through so many changes@ my first Restaurant job. Holding three jobs at one time, &Finally finding/going back to one that wasn't part of the three to begin w/. Seeing Brother graduate. Having Mom& Dad at the same place, at the same time; so close, yet so far. Meeting Melanie. [: &The dinner w/ her aunt, where I realized how much I could not go a day longer w/o dancing again. Bonding closer w/ V.ENT@ the picnic/bbq. Father's Day♥ w/ Dad's twist on crabs. Morning classes w/ Francis [: .. then dropping it. WARPED TOUR! ..First concert in awhile since No Doubt; getting to see Meg&Dia LIVE. Sharing a passion of my mom's. New baby on the Gutlay side. Lola Naty's golden anniversary; seeing Jonas& Tonton after ages! Finding the strength to let go. &Finding something real♥.
Perfect timing, almost. Fourth of July♥ watching the rest of the world light the sky. AteKit&Minji days. Bootleg physicals. Celebrating Kuya Jnil's
Every goodnight kiss, every "Hi! I'm Kit!" handshake, every five-minute interval of pure laughter, every view that took my breath away, every new place conquered, every joy, every night that did not end 'till morning, every embrace of the nature around us, every smile, every touch, every enlightening moment, every morning of waking up to someone holding me, every race of my heartbeat, every second of this life lived. ..Every DAY of this summer was exactly how it should have been. I would not change a single moment, a single tear, a single state of confusion. ..for anything.
I didn't go to New York. & I didn't keep, and pass my CalcII class. I didn't have any week-long sleepovers. I didn't do anything too outrageous like hot-air ballooning, or sky-diving (though, I will sometime!). I didn't need to do anything extravagant. The things that make me happy were just around the corner, & overlap straight into my very heart.
This summer was the most adventurous yet.
Let's go, Fall. Bring it. [:

the irony of it all.
things that bug, just a little:
Wednesday, August 5, 2009
secrets; wishes& wants.
I wish people would seriously just shut the fuck up& stop telling me things I would've been grateful to learn in the past. Because I made a choice to leave the past in the past for a reason. I don't wana hear anymore "information" that's seriously irrelevant to my life right now. It's like all I'm trying to do is to just forget about everything, but somehow things manage to linger& bring me down everytime I feel like I grabbed my oldself back. It only makes me feel even more stupid& naive. &It's just giving way to the grudge I'm trying so hard not to hold. &If you guys think you're doing me a favor by letting me in on the downlow of what I did not know, it's only bringing me down from the person I want to become, the person I want to intertwine back into my own life. Me--myself, my independent, head& heartstrong self--not the "me" who was living in his shadow.
I want to be taken care of for once. My dad's right. I spend too much time running around trying to take care of everyone else, I hardly make time to take care of myself. It gets tiring after awhile. I can't count how many times I've heard, "You spoil me." &I just wish I could whisper the same words.
The worst thing to do is suppress. But the more I run away, the safer I am. There is no way in hell I will stick myself in a situation I can't get out of. Nope, not this time.

fuck the world.
SEKS all day.
I don't even know what I did this week becos it went by so fast.
+ AFTERNOON W/ TWIN Finally opened up to her about the sh_t I've been going through. Felt so good to finally let her in♥.
+ DINNER W/ HIS FAMILY Lovely. I miss having a meal at a table, where everyone prays together. Where you don't needa rush to avoid the drama. I think I just miss "family," in general. 'Twas nice.
+ SEKS DAY Because you always need to have at least a few good girls in your life. It's the only all-girl group I have. &I treasure days like these to the max cos I can just, be a girl, for once? haha! Today was really a trip♥.
Got off work super-late today so I didn't get to make it to practice, or Anh's thing. LAME. Oh well, I need a new job too Monica. [;
BLEH, so beat I don't even have the energy to go to Ivan's either. -.- happy 19th, Ivan! I swear work is such a drain of energy sometimes. & I don't even do much when I think about it.
- - - - -
Did some cleaning out this week too. Throwing away old baggage. 'Cos big brother told me to. (: Whenever I used to watch Room Raiders I'd always wonder why people would get upset when they saw "memory boxes" of stuff from old lovers in their rooms. But I think I get it kine now. Why bother keeping stuff when the whole point is to move on? I'm not even close to throwing everything away. I only reached my desk, & I already threw away like seven things. haha. I thought it'd hurt seeing stuff, having to pass by old memories. But honestly, I don't know why but some things are just a blur. It's as if I fell for a completely different person than the one I let go. Oh well.
- - - - -
Wow! Watching old D&D dvds w/ SEKS really made me realize how much I've grown as a dancer the past two years. That shit was so nasty I couldn't even watch myself. haha. Don't get me wrong, I'm still proud& thankful to have had the opportunity to do choreo for all that. But, WOW. haha. "Get rid of the evidence!" haha c[:
- - - - -
&This shit bugs. I seriously needa fight it.
I think this was the most normal post I've ever done. haha. (:

a weekend well worth the wait.
So, after a week full of confusing thoughts, people who can't leave the past behind, another death to an automobile [Lei♥7109] , annoying ass relatives, working my ass off w/ two doubles this week, deadlines for my online classes, getting less sleep, nights of persistent crying, & everything else in-between .. I can FINALLY put a genuine smile on my face.
_Beach w/ QT! / MJCK♥square + bffElaine_ Playing in the water. ..seriously haven't done that in the longest. Long bff talks. Failed jumping pictures. Rolled up shorts. "Live a little!♥" Chases. Splash fights. Wet sand all over myself. [ Kuya! ]:< ] Racing & anemic Me do NOT mix. Saying hello to lifeguards. Unique ukelele songs. [; Lying on the best pillow. [; Stories about everything& anything. THE SUN SETTING. !! ..beautiful♥. "Cartwheels". etc etc.
_& Then some._ QT! time. [: Amazing Pools. 21 Sexiest Beaches. ..VENICE?! haha. Staying up 'till the sun rose, talking on& on, being held like that. [= Waking up to him& having a quickie breakfast. Yes, suh'.
How is it that we only got four hours of sleep last night, yet I feel like that's the BEST sleep I've gotten all week?
- - - - -
I'm not used to this at all. Not used to being thanked just for visiting. Or being called sweet. Being called a woman. Used to a simple "you too" in response to my morning texts, not a full on phone call to start off my day. Used to being held down when it came to wanting to have fun, not used to the freedom. Or the fact that he wants me to actually ..have fun?, even if it's not w/ him. [= Not used to someone actually listening to me, knowing me so well to have my schedule down. Knowing my daily routines. Not used to someone apologizing for the tiniest things, & knowing the bad habits to change, without having to be asked to. Or even knowing something's wrong, even without a word being said. Not used to having someone not want me to leave. Or someone there to applaud "good qualities" I didn't even notice I had. Not used to someone calling me amazing, beautiful, & everything else in the middle. I'm used to hearing "hott& sexy" only in reference to models, actresses, & other girls like MILEY CYRUS. hahaha! But never me. Always used to the attention being on every other chick but myself. Like the huge blow-ups of everyone else on the wall compared to the wallet size stump of my senior portrait. Used to waiting for phone calls, sometimes some that never even make it. Not used to having someone leave their room JUST to talk to me for hours on the phone before we sleep. Not used to having someone respect me like this. Not used to someone telling me "I'll wait." Not used to someone fighting, to be with me. So used to being pushed away. & Not at all used to having someone miss me, the moment I leave.
He likes listening to me talk, even when I get so carried away that I don't know how to stop. He likes me interrupting. He thinks it's cute when I'm embarrassed, & doesn't take it as on offensive thing. He doesn't say ".. why are you looking at me that way." when I look directly into his eyes becos he ..likes it. &He likes my eyes. My average, asian brown eyes. & I know this because he said so himself. (: & I'm not "weird" to him. He says I'm unique. & Different in a good way, for once. He likes how I introduce him to so many new things, & I feel exactly the same way. This is just the start; he still owes me "14, 996 hugs, upgradable at any time." He thinks I'm "amazing," though I don't know why. What I do know is that he makes me feel like I am "amazing." He likes a lot of me. & He likes how he can tell me what he doesn't like about me, & just the fact that we can talk about anything. We're always gonna talk it out, 'cos that's the thing to do. & He likes that.
He likes me. & I like him. ♥
A text today said "sorry" for messing up my night/weekend again. But honestly, I feel so strong, that it didn't--COULDN'T--break down what I'm feeling at all. He makes me strong. He makes me feel like I can face anything. Even though it's hard, I've never wanted to trust someone this much. I feel so safe w/ him. So taken care of, yet independent at the same exact time. I feel so appreciated. So whole again.
'So cool.' & Just a bit amazing, for now. [:
Friday, July 17, 2009
just when I thought
you've managed to squeeze the last tears out of me.
You should really consider it your talent. Because you're so good at it.
Thanks for pushing my buttons enough for me to erupt, & leaving me to crumble. And you wonder why in the world I left. Blaming everything but your ownself. Take a good look in the mirror.
So now that I'm gone, can you ask yourself, was it worth it?
- - - - -
Here's to another night. ]';
Wednesday, July 15, 2009
tick-tock, round the clock.
I'm going too fast, way too fast. Not us, just me. I promised myself I wouldn't care for someone the way I did w/ all the others for awhile. Because no one was gonna be worth my effort.
You never miss the water 'till the well runs dry.
Can someone please tell me how you still have the power to make me cry, even when it's OVER. Even when I'm completely done?
"I'm sad& don't know why."
"Umm. Sorry?"
What kind of friend says something as shitty as that?
&I absolutely cannot believe you have the nerve to say I didn't love you that much. So after everything I've ever done. After I stuck around for so long, dealing w/ every little thing thrown at me. Keeping the hurt low-key. Just to show the world I was strong. To show everyone you were a good guy. Just to make you happy. After being patient w/ you, because I knew how much you yourself have been hurt by her. After holding you close when your world fell apart because of YOUR own mistakes, even though you couldn't do the same w/ me when things were fucked up. After giving up the majority of my friends. After dealing w/ your psycho ex when she spread countless rumors about me. Being regulated. Being okay with your hypocrisy. Tip-toeing around you so as to not push your buttons. Giving when I had nothing else to give. All those nights I cried over your ass. When all you could do is yell at me to stop. Everything& anything you did, I took.
Love is giving someone the potential to break you, trusting them not to.
&That's what I did. Every day. It kept building up& ironically, so did my trust in you. So don't tell me I didn't "that much". Because once upon a time I did. Strongly. Deeply. So much that I didn't care how much it hurt. So much that I stood up for you to every person that really did care about me enough to tell me it wasn't healthy.
& I forgave you. No questions asked.
& I appreciate that you "tried". But this time it just wasn't enough.
- - - - -
Time heals everything. & God sends miracles when the time is right. To help along the way. For a long time I thought everything was my fault. But I'm so much stronger now. &I'm not gonna pass something up that makes me happy. I forgot what it felt like to get a simple phone call to start off my day with my smile. Or what it felt like to have someone miss me the second I leave. It's just the beginning, but it's never felt so right.
After everything we've been through together, I promised to still stick by you as a friend. I've never asked anything of you throughout the time we were together. &Now I'm asking you for one favor--to just be happy for me.
We were strong for a moment in time. I'm sure both of us will learn from the whole experience altogether. Just know you were never replaced. No one can take away what we had. Memories are a forever thing. &Even though they weren't as common, the happy times were treasured way more than the tough ones.
I was strong for you,
now it's your turn. ♥

lovesquare& Happy Birthday Mommacakes!
I have no idea what's going on w/ me. Wish I could just be carefree but somehow my mind always gets the best of me. Well now more than ever, 'cos of everything.
Saturday, July 11, 2009
okay.
because you're the only one who's ever "fought for me".
- - - - -
I guess the only way to ever really heal, is to actually let yourself.
It's not gonna come naturally. & You have to learn to trust again, & take risks. & Just believe, but it's the only way.
You're the only one who's ever understood me, & been patient w/ me. The only one who I've ever heard the words "don't leave me" from.
How is it that someone w/ as much as two years of history can tell me to let go, yet someone w/ as a little as a week of history can tell me to stay?
& That's why I'll try.

God, God, & more God.
I think it's pretty sad that a lot of the time, we only go to God when we're in desperate need of someone to be there. & The beauty of it is: He's always there for us, patient, &always waiting.

goodbye, my lover.
" Even though I really love you, I'm gonna smile 'cos I deserve to. "
Letting go of all the hurt. It's gonna take awhile, but at least I know I'm moving forward. I think I finally found the strength in me I knew I had all along, &I feel like I have to start from scratch all over again, rebuilding myself from what's been broken. But at least I'm on the way to healing rather than being stuck in the same ditch, digging myself a deeper hole.
I don't think I've ever been hurt this much, but I swear on anything that this was one of the biggest lessons I've ever learned.
&I find it truly amazing how certain people can make me feel so strong when I'm at my weakest, without even knowing it. I'm forever grateful. Couldn't have picked up all by myself.
<3>

Hitch.
"Because thats what people do. They leap and hope to God they can fly! Because otherwise, we just drop like a rock, wondering the whole way down,"why in the hell did I jump?" But here I am, falling. & There's only one person that makes me feel like I can fly."
I watched Hitch this past weekend. There was some good shit in there. But above all, that's always gonna be my favorite part in the movie.

everytime I try to leave,
something keeps pulling me back, me back.
- - - - -
Yesterday: Interview with Sugoi Life / Lunch @ OFL with TheGuys& Amanda / Work / PFAC Banquet / Met AJ&Lauren & Cristina&Mike
Bittersweet.
- - - - -
I hate that he pushes me to my absolute breaking point& when I have the strength to leave, he pulls me back in. ]: Everyone's right. I'm weak as hell, & it IS sad. I love you too much to really let you go. & As much as I try to stay friends with him, he just always pulls me back. I just don't wanna get hurt anymore. &The saying is true: Fool me once, shame on him. Fool me twice, shame on me. So weak. So naive. & Too much in love.
I guess the only thing I can do is try to take a step back, &hopefully one day my feelings will just fade on it's own.
- - - - -
So my paycheck was $200 but I just shelled out $90 for my phone bill. UGH. & I still have to pay for my summer classes& shit. I swear living from paycheck to paycheck is not fun. I got into the ballet program but I can't even pay for that shit so I guess I'm not going to take it. ): So sad, so sad.
Oh well. Things will turn up.

t'work it out.
While I was at work today I was watching a young girl& her dad having dinner. &It was obvious in the way they talked that her parents weren't together anymore. &It just made me reminisce about times when my dad would still make family nights every weekend even though him& Mom were newly divorced .. &I remember when I asked him why he'd tell me that he was just trying to make things work. That he had to hold the family together somehow. But it didn't.
I guess sometimes you just really have to move past things that won't work. I mean at times to this day I still miss the family we had, before it became so broken. &I wonder sometimes how it could've been. But I guess it's just a waste of time looking back, because when that happens people forget about what they have in the present. &People pass up opportunities for the future because they're so infused with their past.
Sometimes you just gotta let go ..
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things that I can, & wisdom to know the difference.

life and love, in a nutshell.
Sit tight. This one's really long.
Just stuff I've learned/realized this past weekend about life& love. [:
But first, recap:
FR!DAY / Work. Bbq @ Butch's friend's house. Left pretty early back to his casa. x3 Honestly, we haven't had a night like that in a long time. Nights where I'm like, damn, I'm in love with this guy. Nights when I remember how it felt to fall in love with him. Moments like those are self-explanatory reasons of why I stay.
SATURDAY / Man, I don't even remember what I did before work, haha. Work. Kuya Jnil's house for a bbq. Haha aw I x3 Chloe, so cute. Francis dropped by to follow me cos I wathens so damn tired! MAN, I freaking love Barkada x3. If I could choose a group of friends who never fail to make me smile, it'd be them. Fcking cupcake fights. Watching only the scary parts of The Grudge. Pyramid fails. Francis: "You guys ready? [;" haha, they are my freaking family. fcking blessed to have them. <333
SUNDAY / Was wayy too tired to go to church. Watched the game with fambam. WOOHOO GET IT LAAAA x33 Stopped by little sister's to grab something. SHARA! I love those girls. They best be part of my summer, a biiig part. Work. Then V.ENT ! YES. I finally came back after what, a month? I missed them so much. &I came on a really good day. we got to choreo short routines. YAY VENTAGON! Haha, hopefully I'll post our video later. [: Denny's goodbye dinner for Henry. ): Don't worry, it ain't goodbye cos we're adding 'for now'. (:
- - - - -
So I don't know exactly when it happened this weekend, but I really changed my outlook on things. I think the problem was I cared too much& I made it my world. I kept placing boys above everything else in my life, especially myself--the real person who should come first. &Maybe that's why I get hurt so bad with every relationship. How could a guy give every other girl every ounce of effort he has even if they don't treat him well, then hold back when he finally comes across someone who would give up everything just to make him happy? I have sacrificed, turned the other cheek, and dealt with the most phenomenal things for them all. I've forgiven, forgiven, forgiven things that would make regular girls leave bitterly. I've given too many chances. I've stayed even when it was way past our breaking points .. for every single one of them. &The only time any of them ever appreciated me were the moments I finally decided to give up, for good. Why is it that the moment people feel they're starting to lose something is the moment it suddenly becomes the most important thing in their life? So tired of being appreciated only when I'm gone. I don't need this. I'm too young to stick around boys who can't seem to grow up. Boys who can't get anything in their life together, including relationships. I hate guys who try so hard to get me to put my guard down, &the moment I do, &fall, they stop trying because I'm finally theirs. Yea, having game takes effort, but making a relationship work takes a lot more. Don't get me wrong; I still care, but at the same time, I just don't anymore. It's just not worth it anymore. I'm tired of being second. I'm tired of waiting for calls that they forget to make. Tired of being stood up. Tired of rearranging my schedule just for people who won't do the same. I want someone who cares just as strongly as I do. &When I say that, I mean show it too.
I'm so tired of making exceptions. When you LOVE someone, you do anything in your power to take care of them, &make sure they have the best. To make sure that above all, they're happy. That's why sometimes people let go the ones they love even though it hurts. That's why some girls change their wardrobe. That's why some people stay in abusive relationships--mentally and/or physically. Why love is blind, & confusing. I mean, don't get me wrong, love causes good things to happen too, like how some relationships push people to want to do better& get their life together. I know shit like Beauty& the Beast isn't exactly true, but the moral of it is reality. People can change, no matter what anyone says. But if you find someone who's not willing to, it's just not worth it. It's BULLSHIT when people say they can't support something you love, or learn to love people that are important in your life because "that's not them". It's BULLSHIT when a person takes a proposal for change up the ass, & turns it into a fight, or just plain anger. Or, my favorite: when a person wants to leave because they don't believe they can be "good enough for you". PLAIN BS. If it's real, you'll make sure damn well you're good enough for someone you love. Cos if they can't do that much, honey, he just ain't that into you.
" If I were a boy, I think I could understand how it feels to love a girl. I swear I'd be a better man. "
I'm not really putting my guard back up. I'm just taking a step back. I used to consider commitment a big responsibility to take on, something you have to give your all to. But I've come to think of it as more of a BONUS. I've already given all that I can. It's their choice to take that shit, or leave it at the table. I've wanted to last a long time with every boyfriend I've had. Maybe that's why all I've ever had were serious relationships. But you know what, maybe that's how it's supposed to be. Maybe you're supposed to meet a lot of Mr. Wrongs before you bump into the RIGHT one. So that when that happens, you'll just know it's right. I think that what I want at this point is just effort, effort all around. Not just with a relationship, but with their own life too. &I think what I want the most is the one who will keep trying long after I say stop, long after it's over& done. So, can you hang?
If you feel me, give me an AMEN. [:

a heart ain't a brain.
in between them bad words
this could be love right?
but are we gon' leave when it's this good?
all for nothing
a heart ain't a brain
a happy endin' makes you cry
cause it ends when you don't want to
& it makes perfect sense to end it like the start
how do I explain this nonsense to my heart?
a heart ain't a brain
but I'm thinkin' that I still love you
