Funny, I'm typing this while writing a long account in my diary. I was also reading Bianca ( http://superbianca.blogspot.com/ )'s blog a while ago. She's a host, model and a former Big Brother housemate here in the Philippines. I got inspired with her accounts and how she motivates herself to post weekly despite her busy schedule. That's how the arrow found the "Sign In" link.
While trying to come up with words for this, a thought erupted in my mind.
What exactly is the purpose of blogging?
A lot of people bother to make their blogs look so fancy and oh-la-la. I admit, I'm one of these people. Are blogs really meant to impress others? Well, of course it is a part of that. Even in person, we want to impress the people around us. I think it's a way of how we identify our part in the society. A blog is just something we make based on ourselves, raging from the things we like to the stuff we do. If other people are impressed with your outlet in cyberspace, then be thankful for they really are impressed with you. :D (Thanks to all the praises I have received for this layout. ü)
I went to my old school today. My former classmates and friends were there so I paid a visit. I miss them and I'm going to miss them when I transfer. I will miss our laughs and every moment we make spectacular. Oh well. They're just next door. =P Their school starts tomorrow while mine starts on Tuesday next week. I'll still visit tomorrow though. I would love to hear all about their first day.

As you can see, I have a new layout. I love this layout pretty much. It shows that I'm starting to love ME. Back in the days, I hated everything about me. I was so insecure with the people around me and I felt so down. With the help of other people, I was able to lift myself up and love what God has made me to become.

I bathe in the rain last Friday afternoon. I was alone, wet and almost naked. But you know what? I loved it. I loved how the raindrops touched my face and how it trickled down my body. I loved how the rain sort of washed away my worries. I loved that certain rain.
I went and visit my aunt and cousins at Pasig City last Saturday. I arrived there during lunch time. JUST IN TIME. I haven't eaten since morning that day so you can imagine how hungry I was. My cousin is such a good chef so I was thrilled when I learned that he whipped up a very appetizing meal for me. I savored every moment of that tinolang manok. Oh how delicious it was! I didn't stay there for long since they have to go somewhere. I just went with them on the way out.
Don't get me wrong though. There was no horror splattered across my face when we came face to face. We're very good friends after the second break-up (Yes, second. We tried but it just wouldn't work). After all, I really wanted for him to see a very much improved me. I was "pretty" that time and I want him to feel even just the slightest regret of not taking care of me. Well, hardwork pays off. It worked.

My ex-boyfriend was with them.

There’s a lot running on my mind right now. It’s driving me insane! I want to cry and scream at the top of my lungs. Most of the time, I wish to get away; vanish from where I am right now and just let my feet take me to places far from my worries. I'd prefer anything that would make the pain TEMPORARILY go away.
He made my pain temporarily go away. He made me smile at my darkest point. He shared my pain. He listened to my woes and rants. I like him that way.

LEO: You’ll fall in love with someone unexpected! But don’t
rush into things or let him meet the parents until you’re 100% sure about him.
Feeling comfortable with a person you spend a lot of time with this summer is a
good sign.(Horoscope, Candy Magazine Philippines May 2008 issue)
Yeah, he is someone unexpected. Not the best looking guy in the world, yet I love him sooo much. I’m not rushing into things. Well, maybe I am but that is because I’m 100% sure. Yes, I do feel comfortable with him ever since. This shows that horoscopes aren’t really 100% accurate. Well, I still have to wait and find out.
« the unusual mothers' day. » « May 13, 2008 »
Last May 11, 2007 was Mothers’ day. As a matter of fact, my mum wasn’t around that day since she has her driving classes and she visited her sister. I wasn’t exactly sure on what special setup to make.
When she woke me up just to say that she’s going already, I greeted her and gave her a kiss goodbye. I went back to sleep after. I can’t resist the call of my cozy bed. Haha. Mothers’ day didn’t stop there. While making my way onto Dreamland, my mind was formulating a plan.
I cooked spaghetti in the afternoon. See? Told you I did something special. :)) My mum and I like to eat Italian food so I preferred making spaghetti. But the spaghetti isn’t just for my mum; it’s also for Niko’s mum. Weeks before this, my mum finally met Niko formally. He visited me at home and he even stayed here up until 11 in the evening! My mum liked him and I’m glad that they get along. I want to get along with Niko’s mum as well so I made spaghetti for their whole family. To be honest, I was sooo nervous while cooking that spaghetti. I know how to cook and I’m pretty good at it but I don’t know what reaction would his mum and sisters have. So I gave him the container with the spag and told him he has to return it.
It was past 8 in the evening when he arrived to return the container.

“Did your mum like the spag? Did she eat it? What about your sisters? You! Did
you eat some?” I fired my questions due to anxiety right away. “Easy! My mum
liked the spag and my sisters ate too. I also gave some to the kids next door
and me? I really liked it. I ate loads! By the way, my mum said thanks.” Niko
replied.
Phew! All the butterflies in my stomach fluttered away. Niko loves kids. That’s why he gave some to their neighbor’s offspring.
I invited him to come inside. When we were on our way upstairs, he mentioned,
It’s such a blessing when mums aren’t too strict with boys. Good thing my mum’s one of them! Haha! :))

“Hey! I don’t have something special to give to your mum.” Wow! He treats my mumSo while waiting for my mum, we watched Nacho Libre. It was a really good movie, by the way. At 10 PM, my mum was knocking on our door. I opened it and Niko said right away,
so nicely. “It’s okay. She wouldn’t mind actually.” I said. “I mind! I’ll just
wait for her to come home so I could greet her personally.”
“Happy Mothers’ Day po, Tita!”My mum said thanks and surprisingly, with a smile. It was already late so Niko should really be going home.
