I'm missing you...
It's been a wild and crazy couple of days...both good and bad...both happy and sad...both expected and unexpected. I'm sitting in the living room where I have been stationed since Wednesday night. It's cool how my wireless has allowed me new places to type freely. I don't have a wire connecting me and having me immobilized in that dreary ass corner of the room where no one sees me and I see no one. It's Saturday night...10:33pm to be exact and I have a final in a day and a half...a paper due right along next to that too! I'm scared...more scared about this class than I have ever been with any other class. You may ask me why and this would be my response: "It's cuz it's for my major...this is another measurement of my ability in writing...in grammar...in English itself. This is a test to see if I'm really an asset to English. This is more than a class to me...this is my future." I've been bombing this whole time in this class...surprisingly passing off a B- on part of my midterm when I thought I was gonna bomb it completely. I await the horrible measurements of my final...will I measure up? I'm scared...I wanna just drop the class right now but that's the easy way out. I don't want to be a coward and take the easy way out. I Know I can do this stuff...if only i had more time...if only i had the motivation. There's just too much going on right now...a torn heart...a blown mind...family health problems...financial hecticness...memories...I'm trying to hold myself together but I just can't. I know I can't cuz I'm weak. I front so much...make others believe that I'm strong but I'm weak...I'm a freakin weakling! The only hope I have right now is the fact I have Ron in my life...he's so sweet and he tries to be a part of my life. He wants to help me...wants to make me happy...doesn't want to hurt me. Or so he says...i'm still skeptical...like everything else in my life I'm waiting for the shit to hit the fan and tear my ass up. There is still hope for _____...even though we probably will never be more than "friends" I still hope that we can work past our "weirdness". We have been thrown in each other's path for a reason...I wish I knew why. I wish for a lot of things...mainly hanging with you. I think things would go a lot easier if we had each other in our lives right now. You often complete some shitty days...and I hope I do the same for you. I miss ya...still



Jess and jens' lolo is in the hospital right now...critical...he's dying. It's like a flashback to two years ago...when my mom had her stroke. These fucked up feelings of helplessness...what can you say to make them feel better? Yea, you can say everything is gonna be alright but how the hell do you know? You can't do anything but wait it all out...see if it works out or if it takes that ugly turn. I don't wish that pain on anyone cuz that's like watching part of you die in the palm of your hands...can't do nothing about it...just have to watch it pass away. Dad and lola went up north to go be by their side right now...I wish I could be there too...finals are sucking the shit out of me and I just have to keep pushing forward no matter how badly I hate this stuff. I'm looking forward to my retreat this weekend...maybe even spending some time with ____ before break starts. Got my red bull in hand...my chocolate bar on the side...book open...mind's wheels are slowly turning...gotta get through this


All Shit aside...must push forward...

Dedication to you...whereever you are Dahil sa iyo

Another though

I wonder what would have happened if we didn't stray from one another and we, in fact, grew closer...what would have happened? I think we would have been a good couple...so many people had told me that we would have...I even believed it. I still remember the first time we kissed...how crazy and awesome it was that it happened. Expected but yet unexpected cuz we were just chillin like we use to...just chillin. it was inevitable... There's someone new in my life. He's amazing, I have to admit but something about him bugs the shit out of me...he's not u. He holds me and in the back of my mind I wish it was u holding me. When he touches me I don't tremble the way I did when u touched me. When he kisses me I think about when u use to kiss me...I think I'm just trying to find something else so I don't get involved but there's also part of me that wonders maybe there's something left btw us and I'm just scared to find out what it is. When we say hello it's like something is missing and I wonder if you notice it too. i don't know if I care about you the way i do cuz I miss you as a friend or as more than that...I know I miss talking to you. U'd actually listen and tell me what u think...what u felt...u let me into ur life...

Damn...

Magbreak tayo

Teaching rose tagalog is fun! but yea...the tagalog final was today... I wasn't sure on most of it cuz it was like nit-picky!!!
but neways...I read something today...____ wrote it and it got me thinking. I'm just another face to you even though u tell me I'm not. I want to believe that I'm more to you but I know the truth...you know exactly what to say to me to make me feel good...to make me fall for you...to make me want you the way you say you want me...You know...

I fall for the wrong kind of guys...unfortunately...you're one of them...I miss you and I wonder if I'm passing somewhere in your jumbled up thoughts...i know ur passing through mine cuz right now I'm wonderin: "What we have mean anything to you?"

Living on the edge out of control
And the world just wont let me slow down
But in my biggest picture was a photo of you and me
[Boy] you know I tried

...yea, I tried...I always do...can't help it

We have our reasons which reasons do not know...

To make sense of everything is foolish of me...to accept everything would be wiser.

I'm not trying to forget...I'm only setting things aside for now so I can have strength to move forward. I can only hope for better days...yes, Hope. Hope-our greatest strength and at the same time our greatest weakness. If only I could use it more advantageously instead of selfishly...

HELP!!!


FINALS!!!! RUN FOR UR LIFE!!!

What the hell is a matter with me???
I must have made a million entries tonight...but I don't know...I had to put this out there...I can't stop thinking about u...it's so weird!!! Something about u...I just can't escape you right now. I wanna log off aim right now but I can't get myself to do it cuz it seems like ur name is permanently highlighted on the list. I see you online and I fight the urge to im u...to check ur profile...I wonder if ur really at ur desk just screening the list to see if there is anyone worthy enough to talk to...if so, am I one of those people? I don't know...I just want to be over u...I just don't know how

The previous entries are away messages that I cleared out of my aim preferences today...I felt I should save some...

U see me lurking thru the halls, avoiding the mess and hitting the malls
Screwed the books cuz it didn't really matter much to me
Now it's coming back even harder- dang, this shiz multiplied by three
Yea, I admit, I procrastinated for what seemed like forever
Looking towards the next test again, hoping I'll do a lil better
No one to blame
Just me with this shame
Pointing the figure at that one lonely figure amongst my bedroom mirror
It's all on me-my fault I admit
Yea, that's me who procrastinated-yea I did it!
I wanna blame u but u know it wasn't ur fault at all
Damn, once again I'm taking a huge ass fall
GPA droppin cuz I won't pick up that book
"Dang, Sheena, how hard is it to take one lil look?"
This is my future that I'm preparing...yea, this is all for me

U open ur eyes
& u finally realize
that ur just another rat in a race
Running no where fast-just can't seem to pick up the pace
it's like u see the end but u can never reach that one destination
Began with our grandfathers' lives & has continued into our generation
Like a mirage, we paint that place our dream come true
...journey after journey passes and yet we're still not thru...
Hearing all the stories & trying to learn how to stop our fight
..our torment
...our convictions
...our trials & tribulations
The reason why I cry-
I don't know who I am...can u tell me?
Can u teach me?
Can u show me?
persuasion...
...frustration
...just the thought of being asian
I don't know how to be me or just how to be...

pilipina
Pinay
...me

"Love is Patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always strusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, theyw ill be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face...
~Scripture

U SHOULD KNOW (Babyface) that I'm SO IN LUV W/U (UNV). Beb, I have 2 admit 2 u, I'm FALLING 4 U (Tamia). When WORST COMES 2 WORST (Dilated Peoples) u r da only 1 WHO I CAN RUN 2 (Xscape). U & ME (Pinay & UZ4) makes sense & someday I PRAY (Innerlude) that u will LET ME LUV U (Brian McKnight) cuz I BELONG 2 U & only u (Rome). R U FEELIN ME? (Aaliyah) I hope that this is clear & that I'm not being a CREEP (TLC), it's just that I can't stand us being SEPERATED (Usher) any longer. TELL ME (Smilez & Southstar) can I be PART OF UR WORLD? (Jessica Simpson) YESTERDAY (Boyz II MEN) when I looked into those big BROWN EYES (Destiny's Child) I just let the EMOTIONS (Destiny's Child) flow free. U tried 2 comfort me & soon I was ALL CRIED OUT(Allure n 112). I wish I could have told u yesterday...I LUV U (Faith Evans):'(

I want what i can't have...
...is that wrong???

So...I search for some kind of validation...some lil acknowledgement that someone, somewhere, sometime is thinking of me...when I read your journal...is my name there in the lines? In between??? Ever read my journal and say, I wish it was me she was writing about...When u sleep at night, am I lurking somewhere in ur dreams? Is it wrong of me to dream of you? Dream of how we once were and perhaps what still can be? When u walk to class, do u ever stop and there I am popping into ur mind? Do u wonder about me...

Is this wrong? Tell me, is this wrong?

Maybe I'm delusional cuz of my physical state right now...the cold meds are getting to me...I don't know...maybe I just really miss you and I just don't know how to say it to you...maybe...just maybe...

Back to life...back to reality
I know I don't deserve anything good...but I can hope for something good. The weekend is ending soon and dang, the shit is piling on...I had crazy times this weekend...thank you, u know who u are...

Two more weeks...that's all that's left in this freakin' quarter...*SHOOT*...George is right "two weeks left...finish strong". TWO MORE WEEKS!!! *sigh*...I spent way too much money this weekend. Laker tix and digitals...and wireless...stuff stuff stuff. I just can't think anymore. i think I'm getting sick so if I seem out of it, it's probably the meds. I have a million things to say right now but I'll do it tmw...NIGHTS FOR NOW

Song of the Moment: "What's it like to be in love?" Jagged Edge

Mood: That heavy feeling right before u get sick...like ur joints aren't working properly...yea, t hat feeling

U think ur alone...but ur not

I always think I'm the only one who goes through shit...especially when it comes to dating and shit...I think I'm alone when in fact there is always someone in my position, in a worse position...in a better one...argh!

Jo's blog usually embodies my thoughts...some excerpts to entice your reading taste buds...

cold weather

i cover myself in layers. i don't feel anything.

baby don't cry, you got to keep your head up

knowledge is corruption. i used to think that i was strong enough to take red pills for the rest of my life but now i know the truth hurts. unncessarily, at times. so for now, for healing, i would just rather not know. don't tell me. don't let me find out. i just don't want to know.

at night i pray that your face will stop haunting me

like a moth to a flame

when he puts it against his lips
and blows you out
pretend not to care
so you can
pretend it doesn't hurt.

he can't help it
and neither can you.


i'll stay quiet. i'll look away.
nonconfrontational
always.

ryan tedder and justin timberlake don't make my days easier, but laughing with lilila at 4am does

i like eating strawberry Nerds for the same reason i like dippin dots at magic mountain and line my lips with sugar crystals when i'm high. i like feeling a million little spheres in my mouth, their little surface areas sliding against my lips like grains of sand against my skin at the beach.

today i had a box and i realize there are two grape Nerds in my box of strawberry Nerds. i think finding The One is going to be like that. One day imma look and see someone was retarded enough to land in the wrong box and lived his whole life thinking he was the only purple Nerd, lost in a sea of pink Nerds, until he finds me.

the basis for a strong relationship is sympathy- for each other. not sympathy in the "oh you poor baby" way but sympathy in the "dang, i really feel what your feeling" way. someone who will sit on the roof and hold your hand and laugh while hating life with you but secretly look out in the l.a. lights and hope theres something better out there.

i have no brain. i only have a craving for more mint chocolate chip ice cream, 2 novels to read before friday, tagalog homework, a need to forget, and opps.. im late- me and nick are having strawberry shakes at 1230. yay!

so, u think ur alone still??? Think u are the only one that feels pain? Yea, I feel ya...I know too well and too often and I continuously lie to myself in order to feel important...to feel I am something...SOMEONE...to just feel that I actually belong here even though I know I don't.

_____: Somewhere inside I believe you possessed me the other night...but I wasn't even close to capturing u. So what if I was sayin no...u had me on check and u know it. *sigh*...we are the weirdest friends...don't u think? Not in a bad way...sorta good, I think. I can't read ur mind...u can't read mine...we just live separated...argh
