random thoughts at 12:47am

This is mild, believe me.

Yesterday-- wait-- on Tuesday, I was going through the streets of the UP Diliman campus, trying to look for my sister who was supposed to meet me. As I looked out the cab window, I noticed how entirely plain the student body is. Jeans, shirts and slippers is THE look. It doesn't matter if they match or if they flatter the body or if the color complements anything. Of course I get that it's more comfortable especially at this weather and it's practical, really, to dress down.

My sense of aesthetics was violated needless to say. But that's just me and my rewired brain. I can understand how practical works. Sure. I don't ask that people dress up for the catwalk, I just ask that they at least adhere to Tim Gunn's Guide To Style at the bare minimum. Then again, I ask for much.

I saw my sister walking and the first thing that caught my attention was her deep purple shirt and pink headband. I heaved a sigh of relief at the sight of color. Drab outifts on a gloomy day make me sad.

everything looks easy on paper

Just when I start painting a pretty picture in my head about how lovely the future would look, everything gets lost in translation when I make an attempt to articulate it with words.

On the rare occasions the words do come out, I get all psyched believing that's the first step and again somewhere between the written word and the action failure seeps in.

The world spoiled me for the last 22 years and now, it's about done giving me perks. Oh well.

so as not to crowd fezbook with quizzes

You Are Highly Expressive

You are dramatic, expressive, and even a bit temperamental. You are artistic and creative. You're always dabbling in something. You are very self-aware and introspective. You understand yourself well. You are on a constant journey in life, and you change frequently. You're a shapeshifter of sorts.

hurray i'm a shape-shifter!

Your Pop Star Name Is Cleo Stardust

You're Gonna Be a Star!

i'd like to thank blogthings for believing in me. *waves at crowd*

Your Favorite Color Says You're Gifted

Intuitive --- Seeking --- Creative Kind --- Self-Sacrificing --- Growth Oriented Strong --- Very Wise --- Rare

Intutive-maybe. seeking- sometimes.
kind- so not. self-sacrificing- i have yet to find out.
strong- erm. very wise- omit very. rare- well done.

Your Outfit Says You're Spirited

You are flirtatious, attractive, and even sexy. You are vivacious and lively. People feel happier being around you. You have a deep inner beauty, and it just makes you even more beautiful on the outside. It's like you wrote the book on how to be charming. Your high end fashion designer match: BCBG Max Azria Your must have accessory: A beaded necklace

accessory: check.
i told you i was charming. :P

like i needed a quiz to tell me

You Are Bitter

You aren't bitter at the world, even though you have a strong personality. Instead, you are sophisticated and cultured. You appreciate acquired tastes. You are very powerful. You have the ability to change a room's energy. While some may find you disagreeable, your points of view are intelligent and interesting.

these personality quizzes are godsend. LOL.

History Tweak

*I am re-arranging my history as a person.*


Since my fall from the sky and survival in the mortal world...

I was home schooled in high school. I know Cindy, Kathy and Gel from being imaginary friends to successfully crossing to the unimagined world.

sleep pattern erratic, kill me now

Oh how cute, multiply is on the way to preservation. If it were entirely up to me, I wouldn't change anything about any of my online pages. Why, you ask. These social networking sites have their own reason for existing and it is beautiful if they keep their uniqueness. I'm just saying.

I suppose there is some good to be had in keeping the status quo as far as websites go. Then again, there aren't too many loyal followers who have all the time in their hands to maintain multiple web pages. Who knows, someday, Conan O'Brien's words will ring true... how yet another social networking will arise in the year 3000-- YOUTWITFACE. Looking forward to that.

This rambling is brought on by the weird sense-- so damagingly overpowering-- that things are slowly changing. I am so caught up in the abruptness of things that I forget to step back to take it in. I have never been in the place I am now. Why can't the universe cut me some slack and stop ganging up on me?

Not that I'm complaining, though. It's just that this newness is so, well, new that I'm afraid (yes, there you have an admission of fear) I'd get too used to it and stay stuck here for the next three years, which I think is the proper amount of time to call an era.

I can't seriously be unhirable, can I? There you go again, a glimpse on my fallibility (LOL come on laugh with me!) and insecurity bouts. I thought I planned on it. I alotted a certain amount of time for me to do things. I have ticked off my list perfectly until now.

There has to be something I can do to pass time without feeling so worthless. Any suggestions?

Oh. For the record, this is the lunatic talking. The full moon is waning or waxing, I do not know, I lost track of the lunar cycle. And no, I am not crazy. Yet.

I guess I just need somebody to talk to. My brain cells are dying each day and I get dumber by the minute. Maybe that's what's bothering me. I have been less intelligent than (I thought) I was a month, possibly years, ago. That's a tough change I have to accept if I were going anywhere. And then again, maybe I am more afraid to get anywhere. Ugh. Baby steps are taking too abnormally unbearable.

ooh what is this?

karma

After a while, I was back in the social scene. Social meaning there were plenty of people and scene meaning I had to command their attention. Being the very boring person that I am, my social scenes usually just involve weddings and church-related activities.

I forget how it is in public. How it is elementary knowledge never to leave your things unattended. How basic it is NOT to stash stuff just anywhere. How it is a no-brainer to leave your cell phone in bags that are easy to pick up and carry off.

That's how I lost my jurassic cell phone. Fortunately, I got a replacement sim within 24 hours so I haven't really felt the effects of being phoneless. My problem is that the phone I'm using now is more patapon than you can imagine.

I had been trying niceness all week as penance for the mildly-- fine, extremely-- horrid thing I did and this is what I get. Karma sucks.
