[exceprt from “I’m NOT trying to Build Myself up (on the Contrary, It’s an Entry of Insecurities, Doubts and Worries)”]
I had found myself pondering the existence of “true love.” Like I mentioned, I just found it quite ironic that in the past few journal entries, I’ve been contemplating “love” in all forms, and all of a sudden, this...

[excerpt from “Love’s Rebuttal”]
So I had an epiphany walking to the parking lot at school this morning. I found the wording I thought I didn’t possess in yesterday’s entry.
Topher, as I mentioned last, stated that “Unrequited love is the only true love.” And I would agree to a certain point- that one has quite a bit to learn from unrequited love.
In...

[excerpt from “All over the Place”]
I wanted to quote Topher because I’ve fallen in the depths of his entries:
“Unrequited love is the only real love.”
No, I’m not asking opinions on this, or even saying that I believe it. However, it is something I heard this weekend and I will share it. Take from it what you will.
“Unrequited love is the only real...

The Reblog is Back
Back in December, I was told I reblogged too much and I promised someone, although not explicitly asked, I wouldn’t reblog for the entire month. So, I started to post journal entries from previous secret online journals. Well, I’ve started to hit some of the dark parts of my journal archives and they started to depress me. Maybe I’ll share some of those, maybe I won’t. ...

Dear President Obama,
I want to tell you hi. Do you work with Santa Claus? Can I meet you in your house? Can I say bye to you after I meet you? And then can I meet you again? And then again after that?

[excerpt]
I was actually excited for a moment at the possibility of change.
Although life is about “change and stability,” and as much as I wish it to remain stagnant, I have to allow the river of life to take its course.
I realize no matter how many pebbles I throw in, or how many dams I build, life will find a way.
And because I cannot change the course of life, I know that I...

[excerpt from “Crushes”]
Funny who your heart chooses to fall for. How nice it would be to be able to pick and choose who we fall “in love” with.
Nice? No, not only “nice” but easy.
But we all know that life was not meant to be easy.
I’d like to say that I know how I got to like certain guys. If I sat down and analyzed the situation, I can pick out the qualities these people...

[“I’ll Smile When You Shut Up”]
I’m a gal who could be all business when I know what I want. So when I walk into a Starbucks, my main objective is to get my drink and go. I’m not there to make friends and change the world.
As I walked up to Starbucks last night, a group of people were sitting out front. I tend to block out everyone and not look at anyone when...

[excerpt from “That’s Amore”]
I was supposed to go to the park that overlooked the lake today, but I found myself lost. Perhaps I didn’t venture far enough to find it. Perhaps I only ventured far enough to give up trying. I called Brian, cos his shoddy directions weren’t good enough. I didn’t get ahold of him, so I went to the beach.

Masks
by author unknown (adapted by “Please Hear What I’m Not Saying”)
Don’t be fooled by the face I wear, for I wear a thousand masks, And none of them are me. Don’t be fooled, for God’s sakes don’t be fooled.
I give you the impression that I’m secure, that confidence is my name and coolness is my game, And that I need no one. But don’t believe...
Reading Resolution
I used to not read books.
Seriously.
I barely read any of them for school let alone recreation.
That is, until I realized how stupid it was not to read. Especially hanging out with Shienna and Jeremy who were into that sort of thing, reading for fun.
So several years ago, I started a New Year’s resolution to start reading. 7 books in a year, outside of whatever I had to read for...

It’s weird to go back 2 years and read how hopeful I was back then. I’ve changed and I know it.
I’ve changed and I don’t like what I’ve become. I’m now the sociable outward person I had hoped to be. However, the superficialness is getting to me. The more open I am, the more I lose the part of me that was inward, pensive and insightful. I don’t mind...

[excerpt from “A Lot on My Mind”]
For my Asian American studies class, I have to do a five page book report on one of the books on the teacher’s list. I picked the only Filipino one on there, America is in the Heart by Carlos Bulosan. I’ve begun to read it and in only three days I’m a third of the way through the book. The first third of the book is spent describing his childhood in...

It was no secret that I never really considered myself Filipino. I almost didn’t even feel Filipino-American. I didn’t hide it.

At work, I am one of the 4.5 Filipinas (one of them is mestiza) in my group. We tend to have potlucks almost every week and so my co-workers and I tend to talk a lot about food. I look back on my childhood and remember the...

[excerpt from “A Lot on My Mind”]
There was one instance where my previous boss, who is a born-again Christian, was talking about going to the Philippines for missionary work. There was something I found offensive about it. It wasn’t just because I didn’t like organized religion, more specifically the condemning fundamentalistic religious sects of Christianity that many of the...
