last thursday, this was my horoscope:

Scorpio: You are part of something bigger, do you realize? Focus on the
community today.


quite approp, i think. and it made me feel great, knowing that that "something bigger" i was part of had the potential to help at least 30,000 people.

it almost made me want to join my local government or get involved in politics. but i say ALMOST because all of grams' horror stories tell me it's a bad idea.

***

slider's asking if i'm mad at him just because i haven't been replying to his messages or answering his calls. i'm not, not really. it's just, why bother? what's this going to accomplish? absolutely nada, that's what. so why even go there?

(shut up, cwiff. i know what you're thinking. hahahaha.)

***

the heart and i have been awesome lately. it's been super. why can't it always be like this?

***

not too happy with the sched i'm going to have for the next week, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do, right? and at least by the time i get out of work i can hit the mall or something.

of course, to enjoy that, i'm going to need money. which i have NONE of. WAH!

***

finally, it's the postsecret post of the week:





Monday, April 17, 2006

i wrote in my journal this morning, the one that i keep in my clunky ancient laptop and never write in (the laptop is crap, and i hate the keyboard). i started it around two years ago, and since i'm not so great at updating it, there were around twenty entries (or so) all in all. still, it was a trip scrolling through the pages. the best part was, i've actually changed (gasp!) in the past two years. that was pretty cool. see, grams? i'm learning. :)

i also came across old stories written when i was still in college. omg. talk about crap! hahahaha. no, seriously, they weren't all that bad, but damn, my characters talked a lot. nobody gets to launch into tirades like that in real life - they're bound to get interrupted at one point or another. i was alternating between cringing, laughing out loud, and going "nguh?". it was weird. the stuff i wrote resulted from the things i was going through and the things i imagined based on what i was going through, and if i've changed from the past two years since i started my lufftuff journal, you can just imagine how different i was from the person i was in college. in many ways, i'm still sortofakinda the same, but reading my piece de la resistance (kuno - i only say this because it's pretty much the only one i've finished, and that's just the teleplay version based on the story. which is STILL a work in progress) "brats", i couldn't identify with any of the characters anymore. gah. the best one of them was jaime, and i killed him off. go figure.

one thing that caught my attention was the way they (the characters, and, in effect, myself as well) were so deeply entrenched and absorbed by the crap lives they led. there wasn't anything more to them than satiating every need and desire (this may not necessarily be a bad thing, come to think of it). there wasn't a tomorrow for any of them - just the issues they had to deal with today that consumed them and drove them mental, and left them with very meaningless lives.

i mean, how very nineties gen-x angsty can you get?

crap, i tell you. i don't understand why my prof called the teleplay "powerful and disturbing". he should have had better taste than that.

***

summer's just around the corner. wheee. not like i'm going to be hitting the beach or anything, so big whoop. i HATE summer. the heat blows to high heaven, my mom's complaining about the bills (water bill cause i take baths all the time, and the electric, cause when i'm at home the only way i can get through the day is if both the ac and electric fan are on at full blast), and my hair gets frizzy from the punyetang humidity. wah!!! give me february climate any time. i miss the cold.

i AM looking forward to the rains, though. mmmmm. that's nice. the world always smells so much better afterwards (unless we're talking about those three minute showers that just make everything worse and stinky).

***

mitch is coming back in may, and leelee's coming back in september. yay! yay! yay! so so so psyched!!! mitch promised to take me out drinking, and if i don't get leelee to hang out and max out her credit card with, i will be a very very sad little chuck.

***

one last thing before i log off and go back into the cool sanctuary of my room.

today i also stepped on a weighing scale for the first time in ages.

*hee*

of COURSE i'm not telling. but it's cool. :) i've dropped a few. yay!

Saturday, April 15, 2006

yesterday, while doing the whole siete iglesias thing with mommy, i couldn't help but think how grateful i was that, no matter how many times i've fcuked up, no matter how many times i've been a horrible excuse for a human being, and no matter how stufid i've been, i've always had a network of trueblue supporters who never let me down. i've felt alone during so many times, and have thrown more than my share of pityparties, but in hindsight, i can honestly say i was never deserted, and i'm truly blessed for having these people (who i love dearly with all my heart) who never gave up on me.

which was why, when mom and i were doing the stations of the cross thing, i started to sniffle like an idiot when we hit the seventh station. i was reading from mom's prayer book, the one she's had for like forever, and it went something like this:

my jesus, how many times did you pardon me, and how many times have i fallen in spite of my promise? sustain me in all temptations and never permit me to offend you again.

yes, am emotional much. wanna make something out of it?

***

if i ever made you feel the way i do now, i'm sorry. it really blows being here. are you doing this on purpose?

yes, i flipped my hair over that message.

no, i haven't done anything about it.

i could, though. if i wanted to. but to what end?

Thursday, April 13, 2006

i don't care how exhausting it was.

i LIKED counting money. :D

too bad it wasn't mine. it would've been great to have gone on one monster shopping spree.

***

long long weekend coming up on account of holy week! oh joy! oh rapture! i will spend my weekend snuggled up in bed, watching religious movies and having spiritual epiphanies. maybe read the bible or something. and then, when i feel the tips of my ears start to burn from all the holiness around me, i will finally watch casanova and catch up on my reading.

four days of semi-bumhood! (of course, will have to do the whole siete iglesias thing with mom - that's if she's still in the mood) i can't wait!!!

***

a colleague became a dad yesterday and, like any proud dad is wont to do, showed pictures of his beautiful little bundle of joy. despite how i feel about having my own, i couldn't help but get all squealy and girly over the bambina (ooooooh lookit the ittybitty toesies!!!). i then started thinking about having my own little living doll. the fantasy was awesome until dirty diapers and supersonic infantile howling entered the picture. and once again, i couldn't help but wonder, would the world be a better place if they had rent-a-baby places for people who feel the ma/paternal instinct, but aren't really sure if they can handle the real thing?

i mean, why not? if they have rent-a-puppy places in japan, and if mhayer's friend wants to set up the whole rent-a-friend business (target clientele: too sad to think about), what's wrong with the whole rent-a-baby concept?

or you can also do what i do when i get all ooohbabyiwant! you can always hit the nearest mall, go to a toy store or something, and wait for the inevitable brat attack from the kid whose 'rents won't buy they the latest overpriced whatchamacallit that's the current thing hitting the playgrounds.

nothing like the look of frustrated pain on the 'rents faces to cure anyone of their baby blues, i tell you.

postcards courtesy of postsecret. i'm saving them here because they disappear after a week.

i love the idea behind postsecret. it's like having the world as your confessional, but nobody hears your voice, nobody knows who you are - you're cleansed whilst retaining your anonymity.

how awesome is that?

Tiger! Tiger! burning bright
In the forests of the night:
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder, & what art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears,
And water`d heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

Tiger! Tiger! burning bright
In the forests of the night:
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Will & Power

The Siberian Tiger is the largest of all the big cats with their bodies growing up to twelve feet long and their tails adding another three feet to their overall length.. Watching these beautiful creatures, the strength and power they possess is very much in evidence in their rippling muscles.

Large paws carry impressive claws that are usually kept sheathed until either grasping a prey animal or delivering a lethal blow to an enemy. Such formidable power is contained within a musculature that has been designed to assure this cat’s ranking at the top of their food chain.

***For the two-legged beside whom Tiger stalks, the sheathed claws and defined muscles that can transform in the space of a heartbeat from fluid, casual movement to a powerful burst of energy, this is quite symbolic of the human counterpart’s same power that is most often kept in check. These individuals possess an amazing reservoir of energy that is frequently held in reserve for times when it is genuinely needed, yet when circumstances warrant the release of this wellspring, they can tackle a problem, crisis or challenge with a focused intensity that can only be equated to a Tiger’s leap.

When very young, the Tiger soul learns to contain such raw power. This contained energy can present itself as an intense gaze and quietly studious demeanor that may intimidate others, as though the eyes of the Tiger are capable of peering into one’s very soul.

Such intensity can drive others away as the one beside whom Tiger journeys can often appear as aloof or disinterested. Nothing can be further from the truth however, as although they may seem insensitive or detached, these are the souls that desire to experience all of life’s intricacies and adventures, yet it is only as they mature and gain confidence in themselves that their more exuberant side is let free to play and explore.

When operating from Lower Personality, such raw power can be utilized for extremely selfish ends with the Tiger individual seeking to further his/her own agenda regardless of the cost to both others around them, and to their soul’s own progress. In this scenario, the energy is then released in volcano blasts and whirlwinds, obliterating all who stand in the path of the tiger. Or the reverse may be true and the two-legged with this magnificent Animal Spirit may be intimidated by their own exceptionally powerful emotions and desires, stuffing or denying such feelings which results in many frustrations and denial of the true Self as an end result of such repression.

As the Tiger Soul grows, matures and evolves, a balance is found between releasing their indomitable energies and maintaining an awareness of the feelings of those around them. When the two-legged can embrace without fear their own Power, and utilize it for the benefit of both themselves and others, the Light Force of their Will shines forth to light the pathway for others who journey the pathway of Self-Knowledge and Discovery.***


Devotion

The Tiger in the wild will only have a litter of cubs (kittens) once in every 3 to 4 years and her litter will vary anywhere from a single birth to six offspring. Once making their entrance onto the Earthwalk, the small tigers will remain with their mother for approximately two years as she guides them through maturation and teaches them how to hunt and to become self-sufficient.

Watching a female Tiger nurture, protect and teach her offspring, it becomes obvious to the observer that she is a devoted and loving mother. The gentleness that she exhibits toward her cubs can turn rapidly to ferocity when her young are threatened, but when it comes to providing care for her progeny, the Tiger seems to delight in her role of mother.

***For the two-legged with the soul of Tiger, there is an intrinsic undercurrent of fierce devotion that flows through their veins. When a Tiger individual loves another, be this in this as a friend or lover, the loyalty, intensity and devotion that they lavish upon their loved ones leaves an indelible imprint upon the hearts and minds of others. For some less passionate individuals who find themselves in love with the one beside whom Tiger pads, this red-hot intensity can be overwhelming and they will escape for “gentler waters,” while those who posses a similar fire and depth within their own hearts will find an eager and willing partner in the Tiger individual.

The challenges for the Tiger soul can be various when it comes to matters of the heart. Some Tigers may tend to burn with a blazing intensity that is exhilarating in its heat yet, as though such ferocious passion cannot be maintained indefinitely, the scorching heat of passion will quickly subside to barely flickering embers that threaten to die out at any moment and just when their partner has become completely enthralled with the Tiger’s intensity. While this first example of the Tiger love nature may be initially exciting, the Soul of Tiger is all too soon off in search of a fresh encounter to recapture the blistering bonfire that they find in each new relationship. The result is that the mate left behind suffers a broken heart and the less-sensitive type of Tiger will be accumulating a negative karmic balance until he/she can identify this destructive behavior and learn to operate from a place of more compassion and Conscious Awareness.

The reverse of this will be the Tiger soul that is so ensconced in loving Others and pouring their entire Self into the chosen mate that they will subjugate their own wants, needs and desire to appease the partner. In this instance, the devotion is often either completely misplaced in a lover that is not willing to reciprocate such affection, or the Tiger Soul is so busy attending to the needs of the mate that there is nothing left over to nurture their own soul. In both this instance and the previous illustration, the Lesson for the Tiger individual becomes one of learning to balance between passion and steadfastness, love of Others and a healthy love of Self. Once this middle-ground is reached, the result is a healthy and giving soul that teaches all whom they encounter the beauty of true Devotion and love.***


Yin/Yang Principle

One look at the magnificent coat of a Tiger reveals much as the black stripes that are overlaid against the backdrop of orange/rust coloring suggests a certain duality. In nature when there is such a significant contrast, this will often indicate a duplicity of meaning and/or purpose.

For the Tiger, this contrasting of patterns and colors suggests the Yin/Yang principle. Yin/Yang is the concept that all things in life are balanced via opposites and these opposites are equal halves of the ~whole. Female/Male, white/black, light/dark are all examples of this polarity that is the basic foundation of this concept. Therefore, when looking at the Tiger Totem and its beautiful coat of mixed patterns and colors, it becomes evident that this is a creature being that possesses the balance of energies we may understand best as Yin/Yang.

***As an animal totem Tiger will walk beside the two-legged who is one of extremes in nature, feelings and temperament. These are the individuals who run either hot or cold, full of passion or completely detached, there are very few periods of lukewarm for the Tiger Soul.

The challenge for these two-leggeds is in finding the balance between extremes and understanding that the two halves are not contradictions of one another, but parts of an integrate Whole. By experiencing first one facet of life, feeling and being then the “opposite, the Tiger learns the importance of Balance.

Often times, the two legged with Tiger as an Animal Totem will walk through the flames of hell and back several times during their lifetime. Many painful lessons will be encountered wherein he/she will expend themselves to the point of exhaustion and utter depletion, to then arise like the Phoenix out of their own ashes and begin a new cycle of growth and learning. Life for these souls is experienced whole heartedly and experiences which may discourage other less motivated individuals are frequently perceived by the Tiger individual as a challenge to be met head on and conquered.

When the two-legged with this awesome Animal Spirit comes to recognize the necessity of balance and harmony, the result is a wonderfully integrated human being. In so merging with the higher octave of Yin/Yang energy, the Tiger Soul embraces his/her inheritance of true Power and Integration.***


Lunar Magic

Many myths and animal legends hold the Tiger as a Sister to the Moon, the contrast between her orange fur and black stripes once more reflecting the polarities of light and darkness which are symbolic representations of the two complete phases of the New and Full Moon. Such animals which are closely related to lunar cycles are recognized as possessing a particular form of magic including enchantments, summoning and assisting those souls who are departing from the physical plane across to the Blue Road of Spirit.

***When Tiger walks beside a two-legged, the human counterpart will often be imbued with a particularly strong intuition and sense of timing. This ~inner knowing~ is an unconscious alignment between the two-legged and the Moon’s cycles.

The Moon represents in esoterics represents the past, emotions and all that is “hidden.” Hidden aspects include our subconscious minds, past life memories which exist just below the surface of conscious thought, past programming, repressed thoughts and the realms and dimensions which are not visible to the physical eye.

As the Tiger Soul appears to have an uncanny sense of timing, in reality, he/she is closely in sync with the Full and New Moon. During the three day cycle (build-up, culmination and ebb) of the New Moon, the two-legged with Tiger as an Animal Totem instinctively recognizes that now is the time to begin new projects, to leap with full force out into the world in a self-actualizing manner that will produce positive results. During the three day cycle of the Full Moon, Tiger Soul recognizes that this is the time to gather, sift through the past to uncover those habits, ideas and thoughts which have outlived their purpose so that during the phase of the New Moon those outdated modes can be discarded in favor of new ideas and plans. Also, the Full Moon is the time in which the seeds planted during the cycle of the New Moon have germinated and are producing fruit.

When operating from Contrary Medicine (Shadow energy), Tiger is impulsive, rash and hurried, for he has not yet learned the value of appropriate timing or the gift of contemplation. Such actions will often lead the two-legged beside whom Tiger journeys down a pathway of painful lessons that are constructed to teach the Tiger Soul the importance of listening to the inner voice within which instructs them when to leap, and when to lie still.

In so recognizing the essential ebb and flow of cycles, phases and all life, the Tiger individual aligns him/her Self with the Hanwi (Moon) and inherits much of the magic and magic that is associated with the moon’s silver light. The more in tune with his/her intuitive, receptive and emotional side Tiger becomes, the more he/she listens to the subtle vibrations of the soul’s directive and responds accordingly, the more developed the abilities of mystical perception and transformative medicine which are part of the inheritance this beautiful and noble Animal Spirit carries. Then, two-legged and Tiger blend in perfect balance between passion and calm, pride and humility, action and contemplation in the splendid dance of a soul unfolding.***

*dies giggling*

ayan, okay na. god sent me another shower of glitters.







What Planet Are You From?


this quiz was made by The Autist Formerly Known As Tim




***

i'm loving the whole "my soul is changeable and abstract" blah blah blah, but REALLY!!!

The Ever-Changing Uranus. I think reality and imagine worlds. I think, it becomes.

that's really never going to sound right. ever.

***


been moodswinging like mad again lately. at first i was chalking it up to pms, but the heart pointed out that it's just been two weeks since i started weeping at every little thing. so i guess i have to admit that there's no good reason for my sudden bouts of WAAAAAAAAAH-hood. i'm on an emotional teetertotter that has nothing to do with hormones. god help me - i don't see this stopping any time soon.

so for the past week i've been generally feeling like blah and then a while ago, on my way to work, it hit me. i felt like a piece of nice white bond paper that's been smooshed up way too many times by life in general, and no matter how much you try to smooth out the wrinkles, it'll never again look as pristine as it did when you first got it out of its package.

so there i was listening to spampy's reggae cd, getting more and more depressed by the second, and waiting for the pollyanna voice to pipe up at the back of my mind to remind me that as long as you keep on believing, things will always work out, smooshed up life or not.

the voice never came! what happened to pollyannachuck? was she dead? who killed her? who? WHOOOOOOO?

so yes, i was pretty much simangoting the entire way.

and yes, i'm still simangoting now. i am crosseyed and i am tired and i want a drink.

but somewhere in between there and now, god popped in, checked on me, and drizzled a couple of glitters my way. it's like he's saying, hey, it's entirely your fault you're all smooshed up, and yes, you're never going to truly smooth things out. but look! here's a little bit of sparkly.

and from somewhere, i can hear pollyanna start to speak again. it's still a bit muffled, and she still sounds a little bit tired, but she'll be back.

what can i say? she likee the sparkly too.

welcome to the real world. remember, if someone suddenly sprouts an extra head or tail, it's still real. you're just somewhere else. also remember to start running whenever you hear someone say "look at the size of that chicken!".

don't.
look.
back.

and you KNOW he doesn't say things just to make me feel better.
thanks, grams. for someone usually so ornery, you've done your little helpful bit.

The sex of the target: male. fersher. haven't gone the whole bi route, much more the lezzy thing.


Eight different points of my perfect lover:

1. he has to have retarded tendencies. a sense of whimsy, if you will. but he can't go overboard with the insanity - he has to be a little bit saner than me (for obvious reasons).

2. he has to have a nice smile. and a nice chest. and nice shoulders. and most importantly, a nice walk. a nice butt would be nice too.

3. he has to read. and be able to outargue me once in a while no matter how irrational i get.

4. i want him to be taller than me. cos i'm only five one. so if he's shorter than me, that's kinda sad. plus i like wearing heels too.

5. he won't mind eating the mcd happy meals i buy for the toy.

6. he mustn't be pusharoundable. how can i respect a weeny?

7. he has to be really malambing, but not in a gropy "i-feel-violated" sort of way. i likee my huggees to come from the heart and not as a result of hormones.

8. he has to be a guy guy. slightly concerned about his looks but not in a metrosexual kinda way (i have to be the more kikay one, it's only right), but he's got to be one of them manlyman thugs (with a sensitive side) i tend to fall for.

demanding much? i told you - i'm going to be single forever. :D

Eight people I'm tagging: the angel, kookai, the cranky ones (yeah right like this is going to happen), ritsirits, euston (hee), my bella lucia, lesley, and philly.

Rules:
1. The tagged victim has to come up with 8 different points of his/her perfect lover.
2. Need to mention the sex of the target.
3. If tagged the 2nd time, theres no need to post again.

btw, the term "coño english" (also spelled as konyo english) is actually used in wikipedia to describe one aspect of philippine english. there is also a difference between taglish and englog. who'da thunk?

***

as cwiff so succinctly put it, "the legend is back". the juice interpreted it differently, but also quite aptly. yesterday it unsettled me, now i'm just all, oh, whatever, not going there this time around.

yes, i know i've said it before. but it's different now. HONEST. i don't have time to mess around now. hell, i don't even have time to shop. so there.
