We were supposed to go to the derma today for follow up report on my condition and to inform the doctor about the lip/tongue specialist's opinion. As it turned out, it was cancelled. My godfather who's supposed to take us there didn't come and then we didn't get to schedule an appointment due to phone malfunction and etc. Me and Tita Elen were ready after lunch and we got fed up waiting so I've decided to just make it like a free day para lang gumala. I wanna go to someplace new.

Southmall was first on the list, then SM Manila and SM Bacoor or Robinsons Imus. It was my first time to go to Southmall. (At first I thought it was SM Megamall.) The byahe was kinda long though but since I was so excited and I kept thinking about what stores they have there, my brain was occupied and so I didn't get that bored. ^^ Haha..

I didn't know they have skating rink there. It was a surprise for me as soon as we got in. There weren't a lot of people, not like in SM Bacoor probably coz there are other shopping venues nearby thus the crowd must've been split in fourths. National Bookstore was our first destination. (Isn't it always?) From the very entrance there was a whole display of recent New York Times Bestsellers and a poll chart. (Guess what's running on first?) Da Vincci Code seemed to shake the religious communities these part few weeks. Is it really that controversial? It makes me wanna watch the movie. I was plain curious.

When Rey came over unexpectedly a few days ago, we talked about watching it but Ronald said it's kinda.. "unwelcomed" for us Christians. He said there's a lot of contradicting theories of Christianity. I said that it's better to have an open mind with these subjects than just believing in one thing and lock yourself in that spot. This came from someone who's very much confused about religious stuff and scientifical evidence. *ahem* Sorry, I've been traumatized enough for that. I mean, sometimes I even stay up late just thinking about it or get depressed when I get even more confused on what to believe in. Sometimes I wish I were like those people who believe throughly with their religion. But then again it will be against my belief of criticizing and thinking about the other corners. *sigh* (Should I be a scientist?)

I'd like to believe in facts more because the truth is much more trustworthy. (Who would go against that?) But then because man is constantly trying to figure out mysteries in the world, they always crave for things they might not get any answers of. That scares me. It scares me to be thinking and putting myself in the middle just coz I'm uncomfortable in both sides. I remember what Storm said in the X-Men movie, "At least I've chosen a side." *sigh* Having these random thoughts constantly swarming in my head makes me puke.

Anyway, enough about the theories of what life came to be. I checked the price on the book (along with reading the synopsis of course) as if daring to buy it. But I didn't. But I have plans. Rey said he might be a bit more interested in reading it. (Who'd thought?) Haha..

I immediately searched for the manga section. (Yeah, if you'd call that a section. It doesn't even occupy like one-fourth of a shelf, dammit.) Nope, no GALS! here. I saw The Wallflower (Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge- Perfect Girl Revolution) again. The plot really interests me. *shrugs* One of these days, I'll buy one. *cackles*

OMG. There's Comic City in this mall. I rushed inside, acting like I'm not too excited. (I might scare people, joke.) They have a lot of soundtracks including Cardcaptor Sakura, Trigun, and even Yu Yu Hakusho. There's also a lot of buttons, collectibles, and posters. But what really raised my ureshii~ness was.. *deep breath* Something I've always wanted: Fushigi Yuugi dvd set2. The sign on the self says SALE: P800 / cd. If it includes 3cds.. Great. I need P2,400. -_- my hopes went down the drain. I'll add on my list: Cardcaptor Sakura(a change of heart ba ito?), Inu Yasha, Naruto and Full Moon Wo Sagashite (Searching For Full Moon). *sigh* I wonder when I'll get to buy all that. (Too bad they don't have the complete YYH dvds. I would certainly put that on top of my list.) Dvds are really great. Dual language, subtitles, and extras. Lots of epi in one disc. Oh yeah haha..

In the end, I only got to buy 3 button pins. 2 small ones: Sakura(?!) and Inu Yasha, and a bigger one of Vash. (Hope you like it, pare). Aside from those store, we also went in Blue Magic which is just across Comic City. They have a lot of trinkets, man! (Not to mention a whole load of random stuff toys.) A definite neon-colored sign outside that says: Girly Gift Shop. ^^

Papemelroti. Gosh, I miss this store. I bought some stuff and admired the artistic recycling. They're cool. After hours of walking around, we finally got to rest at Aunt Anne's. They've got pretzels! I missed eating those during recess at Jersey. In our cafeteria back then they only have the regular salted and buttered ones but there at Aunt Anne's there's a lot to choose from. Me and tita both got cinnamon (yum!) hehe. If only they sell this in our block, I'll probably go outside everyday. ^_~

*sigh* This must be.. my longest entry. =) Haha feels good to just rant. I haven't been online for so long!

I get to draw well again!, bad xerox copies

Today, I was browsing my pics folders and saw some GALS! artwork. I remember that day when we went to Coastal Mall and I saw the GALS! manga vol1. *sigh* The artworks got to me and so I was driven the urge to draw again.

It's been so long since I drew. The last time wasn't much of a success either. Last year, my interest to draw slowly diminished coz I had a lot of things going on that I don't get to draw much and then gradually I totally forgot to. I guess I also lost my interest. Then a few months ago, I thought about drawing again. I was watching The Powerpuff Girls The Movie (the one I recorded on Cartoon Network when we had Cable a few years ago) that afternoon when I had the urge. Unfortunately, my hands are too dormant to function well, thus, the unsatisfied result. *sigh*

But this afternoon I felt different. I wasn't as frustrated as before and so I started working on it. I found my old drawings and got the inspiration from them as well as from the GALS! artwork. ^^ Fortunately, it went well. *relieved sigh* I thought I'd never go back to that nice state. It was a great feeling, really.. thinking back the old days when there's no day that I won't draw. I draw even on tissue-- that's how I was.

In the afternoon, I decided to photo copy/xerox my artworks. It's been such a long time since I gave a friend an artwork. I walked from our place hanggang sa kanto ng Noveleta. Sa Three Sisters ako nagpaxerox. It took longer than I expected. I also bought a sliding folder for my compilation of fanfics. As I was on my way home, I flipped through the photo copies and got pissed.

There were black spots of what looked like ink-- everywhere! It's like their machine turned bogus on me! (BTW, it's powder.) Since I'm not the type who complains to sales people, I let it go. Besides, I was so pissed and tired to go back. When I got home, I complained and complained about how my copies looked so damaged. That's when I started to calm down. It's not like there's anything I get to do with that, ne? I already paid for 'em. But still.. I'm pissed.

3rd monthsary.. ROMI

It's our 3rd monthsary! There's nothing planned and stupid me didn't get to write a letter like I always do. I gotta make it up to him. Sorry, Ronald. I was preoccupied with everything that has happened-- but it doesn't mean that I forgot all about it (though I kept pretending it's not a special day or that I forget about it). But it kinda pissed me off that I didn't get to do it. Damn! What to write.. What to write?!

Ace came over to make up with Chamie and they're at the living room while me and Ronald, as usual, hanged around the comp room. Didn't I mention he likes to surprise people? Well, I remember one time he went to the kitchen, I think to get something to drink. I was sitting facing the monitor when I notice something dark above the CPU. It was a book.. The Purple Emperor (sequel to Faerie Wars)! And it's the hard cover copy! On top of that there's yellow envelope. Oh man, he wrote to me! It made me even more guilty. =( I'll have to make it up to him fast!

Thanks so much, pare. Now I've got another book to read. (It keeps on comin`! hehehe..) The piano of Have I Told You Lately is playing right now. It makes me reminisce Feb.14 ^__^ (3 months na ba talaga ang lumipas? Parang 5 months na ah! joke) If ever I get a midi file of this I'll put it up here.

Mom's departure, went to Coastal Mall.. new line of manga~s!, ChamiexAce misunderstanding

It's Mom's day of departure. Grandma, Tita Elen, and sis Chamie got to come. (I really don't wanna elaborate the details). To make it short, it was raining (I heard there's a storm somewhere in the country), I'm a nervous wreck, and we didn't know where to eat lunch.

It was near lunchtime when we finally got away from NAIA. The nearest mall to go to is Coastal Mall. So we went there, dined at McDo, and complain about being dizzy. (Okay, that's just me and Chamie.) When we were almost done, I couldn't resist the National Bookstore on our side beckoning me. So I decided to just take a "peek" around the corner. I promised not to buy anything.

At the very corner of the entrance of the bookstore lies like a dozen mangas (published by Del Rey), some titles of which I haven't seen around at SM Bacoor. (It sucks living in the province-like suburb.) My day became brighter coz of that, I swear. When we were about to leave, I pulled Chamie and pointed the stocks. What excited me were two of the selections: GALS! and this other manga I haven't heard about: The Wallflower. I read the back cover and the story's interesting. (Well, for me, that is.) And so I had a vision of hope once again.. and of course, I kept praying that Mom's flight will be fine.

*****

Tonight, we're supposed to surprise Ace at PN since his group's gonna do a dance performance at Gng. Barangay. Ronald got to come with us which is good coz it's nighttime and I don't wanna wander off just like that. Besides, my mom would've never allowed us. Anyway, so it was raining and there were puddles everywhere. The ground we walked on wasn't exactly what I would call even. Thus, the disaster. *sigh* Well, it wasn't so bad, really. Chamie just misstep and well, she landed on her knee. So her pants were kinda wet. It wasn't part of the plan. What happened after that was a surprise for us.

We convinced Chamie to go to Ace's despite her feelings. We saw his mom earlier and she said some stuff that led into misunderstanding so Chamie got upset. When we got there, we found out that the group's dance performance was cancelled coz his mates weren't present, expecting that it was cancelled earlier and that they had no contact whatsoever. It kinda pissed me off a bit that his mates didn't even put up the effort of being there in case they will perform. And so Ace was pissed, Chamie was upset, I was worried about what happened, and Ronald.. *sigh* I dunno what he was thinking during those moments. He was sitting beside me as Ace was telling us what happened.

It was getting late and we had to be home, so Chamie asked if we could go, disregarding Ace's feelings (not-really proper goodbye~s). We hurried outside, bought some chicken for take-out, and then hurried home. Tita Elen was talking to Ace when we got home, saying how he's so worried that it's already late and we're not home yet. It was after dinner that Chamie got to talk to her boyfriend on the phone (she's staying for the night).

They were fine the next morning. *sigh* Since last year there had been a lot of drama between the two and they still manage to get back together. ^^ As they say, the hardships and challenges make their hearts strong. Or well, something like that. *shrugs* Haha..

went to the Derma for check-up

Mom decided to make me check-up my lips. I have this sort of condition.. black spots on my lips. Sometimes it's dark. Mom's worried it might be some disease and I'm worried it might be *ahem* cancerous. As my dentist recommended, we (together with sis Chamie) went to her dermatologist at Imus. Since it's Thursday, there had been a conflict with our schedule. She's there at 5pm-- a mistake since we're there at like 2pm. To kill time, we went to Robinsons Mall. Mom had to buy rice cooker for Grandma and school shoes for me.

We went back to the derma after we're through. I found out that it might be this condition called Vitiligo or Mela-something (which involves our melanin and the sun) or hyper pigmentation. She said I should consult the EENT doctor if it concerns my EENT. She gave me her medication.

My condition doesn't really bother me though. When I was small, my lip problem is allergy. Whenever I eat something oily or salty, my lips start to itch and swell. But that's it. Then like 2 years ago these black spots came up. Now that there's already like a lot, my mom got worried. It's getting darker too. The appearance sometimes concerns me coz *ahem* it's not really a pretty sight. But it's not gross either. It's just.. weird. Haha! Oh well, gotta find out with the EENT.

went to SM.. bought glasses, studio pics with Mom and Grandma

My grandma's teeth need to be checked out so we (me, Mom, Grandma, Tita Elen) went to the dentist. She said there wasn't much problems, it just needed a bit of cleaning. Our family's teeth are strong, man! Hehe..

Anyway, we went to SM afterwards and ate at Shakey's. It was so funny, we saw like 5 of our relatives passing by. My grandma and grandpa, then my grandpa's brother and his wife, then my godfather's sister, etc. It was so weird, like a rush of unexpected reunion of some sort.

My peach-framed glasses needs to be replaced. It's a bit bended from an experience in school.. Okay, I'll tell about it. I.. *sigh* I tripped.

No, it's not coz of stupidity, mind you. It was recess back then and my first time to hang-out by one of the trees at school. Rey, Ate Divine, and Chunny were there and a bunch of my other classmates. When I finished eating, I quickly turned around to go back to our "canteen" when all of a sudden my knee bumped into something hard and I found myself falling.. in heap of embarrassment. My skull and brain are uninjured, thanks to my fast reflex of leaning on my hands to stop the force of my whole body hitting the ground. I saw my glasses on the ground and it looked fine.. that is, until I put it on when we had class. It was then I found out a chip on one of the lenses and the bended frame. *sigh* Well, at least my friends get to laugh at me that morning.. -_-

Anyway! So we went to EO- Executive Optical and I got to pick a new frame. (Yay!) The lady who assisted us handed me this black one that looked a bit rectangular and I tried it on. It fits nicely according to her and my mom's opinion. The lady said it was one of the most popular styles they have. Popular as in a lot of people buy that kind of frame. I didn't let my mom buy it coz of that reason, I let her buy it coz she liked how it looked on me, and I must say, it's aight.

The optometrist checked my eyesight afterwards but she examined my old lens first. When she was done she told me that I still have the same grado (one is 200, the other 220 I think..). I guess that's better news than having her say that my eyesight got worse, ne? Though it would've been much better if she said it went down. But oh well.. *shrugs*

I requested for a group shot. Kameraworld was by the corner so less hassle finding it. I asked for the 3 posses so that I have a solo, me and Mom, and then the three of us.

We went straight to the Supermarket after the shots. *gets lazy typing* After we bought food, I went back to EO, got my glasses then went back to Kameraworld, got the pics, and we headed straight home.

About the pics.. well, my solo's fine, but my hair looked.. not in place where I want it.. *sigh* I just couldn't be satisfied with studio pics! You know, I can't make the photographer takes shots and then pick the best one.. It pissed me that he didn't even tell me my hair isn't much in order. -_-

Anyway! We got on a taxi since Grandma can't handle stepping on high.. grounds.. You get what I mean. But the ride home wasn't comfortable at all. Damn I got dizzy, man! As soon as I got home, I greeted the toilet bowl. You get what I mean. Which is one of the reasons why I couldn't go to far away schools. Too bad.. Ch`..

went to SM.. bought a book: Faerie Wars

Mom kept on yapping about how I must be at SM early coz of expected traffic. Truth be told, there wasn't. *sigh*

Anyway, my purpose was to buy a new book. I was so confused which to get. I wanted to try Valiant but I saw a featured book at the back, Tithe, and I wasn't sure if that's the second or the first book. If it was the first then it'll be such a bummer to read Valiant without, you know, really starting with the first. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the book Tithe.

The other book that I'm interested in that I forgot the title last time was called The Revenge of the Goblin.. Wait, was it Goblin or something King and Dark.. Goblin King..? Dark King..? Aaargh, there I go again, I forgot! Oh whatever.. it was something along those lines. Anyway, it's the first of the Grey Griffin's adventure book series. Both Valiant and that book were in hard cover. I asked if they have Valiant in paperback. Unfortunately, they don't.

My search for another option led me to this book called, The Purple Emperor. It turns out to be the sequel to Faerie Wars-- which happened to be available. Reading its cover led me to get interested in another fantasy, Artemis Fowl. It's pretty well-known and a New York Times Bestseller as was Faerie Wars. Another book caught my attention, it's called, Various. All of these books have something to do with magic, fantasy adventures, and creatures. In short, fiction/fantasy.

I thought I grew out of reading books with that kind when I started reading Cathy Hopkins' the Mates, Dates series. (It was very enjoyable to read.) But now I crave fantasy again. I hope the Harry Potter book series will end soon so that they'll make the second box set (which will consist of like 3 books if J.K. Rowling will end everything in book 7) soon for me to buy it hahaha..

Anyway, saan ako bumaksak? For the many times that I decide on a book then go to the counter and then go back to the aisle again.. *sigh* I've finally came up with the decision of buying.. Faerie Wars. I choose that coz it's in paperback and that book 2 is already available so if ever I got extra cash, I won't have to worry about when it'll be published or that if National Bookstore has it. ^^ Pretty reasonable, ne?

By the way, Happy New Month everybody!
Get well soon, Tita Nhora!

Love is not just about finding someone you can live with, but finding someone you can't live without.

It is not about finding someone perfect to love, but loving the imperfect person perfectly.

Destiny is an excuse of letting things happen than making it happen.

I chose this layout since I can't "fix" the codes on the other one. I simply couldn't find out what's wrong with it (the text of the entries cannot be seen). I love this current layout. It gives me that artistic feel and sort of brooding. I thought it's perfect because my entries here are, for the most part, pretty depressing. Being heart-broken makes you poetic. I wanted to read my entries again to see how much I've grown. Getting hurt is part of life. (I think through the years of suffering, I've finally become more mature.) Being stronger afterwards is what matters afterall. =)
