it's been 8 years since i graduated from 8th grade.
4 years since high school.
catching up with old friends always makes me nostalgic.
it's crazy how it doesn't seem so long ago.
more on that later.
Rest in peace, Tita Nancy. Thank you for all you taught me.
oh, how time flies...

and i am tellin' you
Monday, November 24, 2008
To dream that you are playing basketball, indicates that you will need the cooperation and assistance of others in order to achieve your goals. Perhaps you are standing in the way of your own progress and need to ask for help.
To see or wear a dress in your dream, represents a feminine outlook or feminine perspective on a situation. You are freely expressing your femininity.
I don't really remember the dream besides those things.
Anyways. Another excellent weekend, another excellent Benefit Concert. Good job to all! It was really nice seeing everyone.
I really missed these guys:
The Class of '08 back together again.
Hopefully we'll all be together again soon.
In other news, I watched Twilight on Saturday. Now, that's what I call a piece of crap movie. The only thing that saved it for me, is how hot Robert Pattinson is. WOOOO. I mean, seriously. But yeah, the movie was crap. It didn't do justice to the book AND it was just bad in general. But hey, if anyone wants to watch it, I'm down to watch it again. Just to watch Edward Cullen for 2 hours is fine by me. LOL.
K, another week! I'll be on my way.
Peace.

first time in a long time
Friday, November 14, 2008That an episode of Grey's made me tear up. Callie's breakdown was ::ok hand motion::
I hate that I blog about tv, but what else do I have really?
Anyways, there are a lot of things in my head right now. I mean, I'm no crazy, like Izzie Stevens, but there's so much goin' on up there. I have a lot of time to think, you know? No job, well, technically no job yet. So I have a lot of time to think.
Just because I'm not in school anymore, doesn't mean I still can't procrastinate. I'm procrastinating on life right now. And it's not because I'm lazy (well, it is a little bit), but it's because I'm scared. I'm really scared. I don't think I've told anyone that, well besides Him. But hell yeah, I'm scared. Call me a wussy if you want. I'm not saying I'm no good at anything, but what if what I'm good at, won't take me anywhere? I'm scared that I'm going to fail. I'm scared that everything I've learned these past few years, not just in school, but in my faith, the things I learned about who I am, are just going to fade away.
I usually don't like when there is such a negative blog post, then one ties it up with an encouraging outlook on life, but that's exactly what I'm going to do. I know I'm scared and that I might not be strong enough. But it's not MY strength that I need. It's His.
Anyways, enough about that. I teared up today during Grey's (what a sap) and I also shed a few during the meeting on Tuesday. It's been a while since I've cried during praise & worship, but I Adore always gets to me. This is the first time in a while where I didn't just cry because I was sad or stressed about something, but just to be in His presence. To feel His love over everything else. It was amazing.
If you didn't know, I'm Guiding Lights new music director. :D exciting! Although the duties are quite similar to what I did as music ministry head in Liwanag, it's challenging me in new ways. I love it. It's most definitely not going to be easy, but it's most def worth it. Pray for me & pray for us!
Also, my tita woke up from her coma, but she's just barely hanging on. She's moved out of the icu, but is now in hospice care at the nursing home. Please keep her and my family in your prayers.
While this is irrelevant to what I talked to in my post, everytime Meredith Grey starts her closing dialogue on the episode it gets to me:
Goodnight!

Hairvolution: A Comprehensive Look at the Ridiculousness That Is My Hair
Wednesday, November 12, 2008So, I've been feeling nostalgic as of late, looking at old pictures. And I've come to realize that I've had quite a ridiculous variation in hair colors and cuts. Nez gave me the idea of making a post dedicated to my different hairstyles, but I started from my freshman year to the beginning of my third year and it was already too much. That's where most of the action was anyway. I might as well dedicate some time to this post, considering i don't have anything better to do.
(Go St. Benedict Family :D)
decided it wasn't short enough, so i cut off even more.
with the in crowd at interfaith.
(i wasn't the only one who went through style changes. check out brenton's shoes!)
btw, can i be skinny again? kthanks.
this hair style lasted through the summer
(picture from vegas!)
at the end of summer, i contemplated growing my hair out, but decided against it
so i thought THIS would be cool. seriously, what was i thinking?
picture from welcome week 2005.
sporting purple in the front & blonde in the back
at Puso Gala 2005.
hair getting longer, thumbs getting shorter.
(fridays for nimz's birthday)
since my hair was getting longer, ponytails were a must.
(vegas to ring in 2006)
spirit rally 2006.
i think Banquet 2006 was a turning point
i was sad about my short hair, and i wanted to grow it out.
(log installs 2006)
finally after growing my hair out for a whole year
Puso Gala 2006 it was somewhat long.
Wow, how bored am I.

i'm supposed to be getting ready
Saturday, November 8, 2008but i had the urge to blog, and i didn't want to lose it because my blogging has been so-so lately.
last night we were talking about how i couldn't remember my dreams. i always want to blog about them because i always forget, but i've always wanted to analyze the shit i dream about. i read your guys' blogs, and i wanna analyze my shit if i'm dreaming about weddings or parking lots. so i remember my dream from last night, but i'm not really sure about the details, and i don't think there's one thing that i can pick out as an underlying message. maybe?
i had a dream that i was part of the cast of Angel (LAWL, i know. i HAVE been watching too much angel. sidebar: gerard was asking me last night if i've had any dreams about Angel, and i was like "no that would be stupid" but, lo and behold, i had a dream about Angel last night!) or rather, I was a part of Angel Investigations (from like the actual show). One of our peeps was trapped in a situation. But it was like The Grudge 3! THE MOVIE. Does that make sense? Like if they were to make a movie for the Grudge 3, it would crossover with Angel the TV show!
So like the premise for the movie was that the curse, or The Grudge, effects one person, who in turn effects another person. So all these people who have been affected by the curse live in a museum!
that's all i remember. so is this about movies? or museums? curses?
To see a museum in your dream, indicates that your non-traditional path to success will make you unique and stand out from the rest. Alternatively, the museum may represent a history of yourself and your past. There are many things you can learn from your past and your family's past. Consider what you have gained from these experiences and apply them to your current circumstances.
To dream that you are in a museum, gives you the opportunity for you to review and reflect on the things you value in life.
Movie
To dream that you are playing a role in the movie, foretells that something from your unconscious is about to emerge or be revealed. It may also represent memories of images or scenes from your past. Alternatively, the dream may be pointing you toward a new role that you might be undertaking. Your unconscious is psychologically preparing you for this new role.
To dream that you or someone is under a curse, suggests that you are getting caught up in your own guilt. You also need to proceed with caution in some situation or relationship.
well, great. i can see what my dreams did there.
since i blogged, i'm going to be late. apologies friends.
reading your blog this morning gave me inspiration to blog too. mine wasn't as long as yours tho (that's what.... never mind.)
my nails are bright red.
i wonder if i could turn back the clock three years, if i would make the same mistakes choices i made back then, knowing how everything would effect me today. i probably wouldn't.
ok, good day my friend.

and another one...
a new goal in life: to become a YTS (youtube star)
haha. half-joking, half-serious goal. i mean, it's totally possible. i think 2 requirements is to be 1) cute 2) talented. and since i've already got the first requirement down, i just have to work on my singing. LAWL. i'm kidding. sort of. anyways, that's another cover i did with the talented T-vo & N-pen.
sorry my blogs are so few and far between.
i just don't have much to blog about these days.
I love how the nights are getting colder. it's my favorite thing to really utilize my blanket at night and wear pajama pants. love it.
I watched tropic thunder last night with my bff. hilarious. it was quite good i might say. i love when movies have a lot of cameos. i think lance bass was my favorite. that guy is making a comeback! it's like my boyband days are alive within me, because everytime i watch dancing w/ the stars i'm always cheering him on! go lance! my brother proposed the idea for me, what if Lance Bass and Neil Patrick Harris were together? OMG. talk about my favorite gay couple ever. they could like sing together! haha. man.
thanks to California, they can't get married in our state. lame.
Hey! We have a new president. What up!
kthatsall.
bye!
