little J.


a pic of me and J, way back when we were in grade6. editing fail.


August 14 is one special day. It's the anniversary of me and my best friend's friendship! 3 years of friendship, to be exact.

We go way back, when we were young. I met her at school when we were in third grade. I noticed her because my classmate told me we look alike. At first, I was a bit hesitant because I didn't see any resemblance between us. But as we grow up, I realized that she looks just like me. Only she's a lot gorgeous than me, to be honest. We got really close when we were in the 6th grade. I got to know her better, who she really is and what she is capable of doing. We had a really good relationship. She's been there for me, always willing to help me. And that's just what is really great about her.

We got into a fight when we were in high school. It's because of a guy. Well, I wasn't jealous on them, I guess I thought that she deserves a lot better. I know the guy and I'm pretty sure he's not the one that will keep my best friend in a good position. So there we are, not talking for a month. Not a word. Nada. But we made up, thanks to our adviser who truly cares about us.

I was totally cool about him and her hanging out because I know that will make J happy. But after a few months, my prediction was right. The dude's a JERK.

We certainly been through a lot, but I guess that's part of everything. The ups and downs. And I am so proud that we're still keeping our friendship, after all the things that happened. We still do the same thing, we help each other. Because that's just what friends are for, providing loving service (wow this is so clve). Jonina Marie J. Tengco is not just my friend, she's my sister. I love yew little J!




Us and Them

Us And Them
By: Pink Floyd
Us and them
And after all were only ordinary men
Me and You
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do


Us and Them, one of my favorite songs. I'm a big fan of the oldies, and I'd like to share this one. You might not want to hear this one if you're heart belongs to the modern family, because this type of music existed a long time ago. Maybe I'm a bit exaggerating, but the truth is I think this song may not be your type.

The reason why I typed some of its lyrics is because it has a deeper meaning. You might think it's just some crap, but for me it's not. Without these type of music, artist and every itsy bitsy element of it, then there won't be any modern music. That's why there is a need(exaggerating again) for us to know/appreciate these persons/musicians/artist who made a contribution in the industry. Wow. That sounded like I'm trying to apply for a job in the field of music. But seriously, I just want to clear out that this is not some random crap(redundant) I post. It's what you call, "appreciation". Oh well, let's get to the point. The meaning of this song is about isolation between people. The rich and poor, the healthy and the not-so-healthy, the jocks and the nerds, the mean girls and the computer freaks, etc. ISOLATION. We are being segregated like plastics and papers. That's why there's no UNITY within us. It is so hard for us to accept everyone's differences from the others. We can't accept easily things, I think it's a human nature (haha form pink floyd to michael jackson lolz).

I guess I also feel the same way. I am isolated, in a way that I got company but I still feel alone. But the fact that I'm not the only one makes me feel a little happy. I know that there are lots of people who feels the same way.

Drama Queen is out.

brainwashed

we live in a world wherein we follow the latest trend. it could be in gadgets, music, fashion and people. yes, that's the kind of place we live in. and the sad thing is that when that specific thing/person is no longer in vogue, we throw them away and wish they never exist. that's how we work. always has and always been.

but i would like to isolate myself from the others. i'm the kind of girl who likes preserving the stuff i know are worth keeping for. it could be the way i like to dress up, my family and friends.

Honestly, I didn't know why I typed all those. I guess it just popped into my mind. I just want to talk about what happened in the last few weeks. or months.

Here I go again, telling you a recap of what had happened. With 4 followers, I hope i can make something worth reading, not some weird crap i usually do.

So there I was in the newly painted service truck I rode for years. It was the first day of classes. It wasn't the first day I usually had. It was. BORING. oh yes, it was boring. Then I saw my gorgeous best friend waving at me, looking much prettier than before. eew i sound like a lesbo. kidding. I hugged her, because I truly missed her and our crazy conversations. Then, we had an acquaintance party, which was a little awesome. I was with my previous classmates the whole time and got to talk them about the new guy they've all been crazy about. well i think he looks..oh well, forget it.

The lessons are very much complex, compared to last year. Maybe because it is a preparation for us in college, which explains why it really needs to suck your brains up. AND we have to do our very best, since our third year card will be the one that we'll present in our application for crap-llege(college).

Then there was the projects. We were given 2 weeks to accomplish each, which was the hardest part of this quarter. I had to take a lot of power naps so that I can work on it. I wasn't really game for killing myself to get high grades for this stuff, rather I just want to finish them all. But for me, I think I did my best in all of them. There was this project in English, which was you're supposed to compose a poem in any topic you feel like expressing your opinion. I chose Music, because it's one of my great love. I even glued some pics of my fave music icons, which are the bealtes, U2, katy perry and lady gaga. But unfortunately, my teacher thought it sucked too much and gave me a grade that I know I don't deserve. It was really annoying. I failed my inspirations. But hey, if she thinks that I didn't do my best, then let her think of that. Because I don't give a damn what she thinks. I did my best, showed my great love for Music and inspirational icons and that is just what really matters.

And the last stop for this quarter, EXAMS. honestly, I didn't reviewed well. and i know that i don't deserve a high grade. but i promise that i'll do better in the next one. well, that still depends. ;)

Third year is just what I thought of. It's like a cold place wherein you have to find your way out to be able to survive. Wow, that's just deep. But I think this is where we are tested on how strong we are not only as a student, but as a person. This is the place where we need to express ourselves and let everyone know who you really are. Right now, I don't think that I'm expressing or letting out the inner me, but I am challenged. Challenged, in a way that I am motivated to do better.

BRAINWASHED. i am brainwashed. but in a good way. :)

always, X
