1m
it's been one month since you stumbled into my life.
at first, i was skeptical to let just anyone in my life, specially one who i hatED, but i took the chance. thinking if someone like my sibling could trust you, why not? i didn't know what you're intentions was with me so i asked, but still did not believe such a thing. at the time, i couldn't see just anyone doing such a kind thing to someone he or she barely knew, though we've known each other for so long. i really had no clue what to do when you walked into my life. but you knew i needed someone to just support and comfort me at the time. there you were 3am in the morning by my bedside listening and comforting me until i stopped nervously shaking. as days passed, you worried about my status. you wanted to help me get back on my two feet. surprisingly, it was a speedy recovery. you were like an advil to my headache, though i did not need to take you 3 times a day to make the pain go away. seriously, without you there, i can only imagine all the horrible sleepless nights i would endure, all the alcohol i would of consumed, all the sins i would have committed. till this day, you're here, not cause i'm still in pain, but we grew our relationship through such a horrible incident. now this friendship, this friendship, i can honestly say is one of the best friendships i have ever had. its foundation is based on honesty. one of the things i value the most. i know in the future i will be seeing you more. and i amthankfulblessed you have you in my life.
it's funny how the worst situation can have some pretty positive outcomes.
happy 1month friendship thingy.

Well, I can but it's not positive.
It's actually pretty heart aching.
Really grateful for all the things you've done.
Thanks for being well..... you.
It was really unexpected, but I'm glad this happened.
I'm having a really hard time expressing how I'm feeling right now

If you give 100%, you'll receive 100%.
If not, then she ain't worth it.
It's not 50-50,
It's 100-100 or none.
Just give and give, but don't expect anything in return.
Hopefully she'll return the favour.

I don't know how/what/why/when/where/the fuck I relapsed.
When someone says they making a change, it just means they're forcing themselves to live the way that they don't want to live.
For example, homework. Everyone can do homework. Do they want to do it? No.. BUT, she/he can IF they wanted to.
I need to get off the computer more often.
and stop sleeping so late, it's driving me wacko.

That life doesn't get any better from here, it just gets worse.

5. dreams
Lately I've been having these weird dreams...
It happened not once but twice and I usually don't remember my dream instantaneous but this one I did.
It was about a girl who I once crushed, well you know it's complicated..
On with the story,
So I remembered her crying because she lost something, and I went to look for it.
It meant a lot to her.
And she meant a lot to me.
Thats it. LOL
I don't remember the other one...
Wow that was horrible.
Anywho...
I believe that we all have the same dream.
To be successful in life and
To find happiness/love/peace.
Am I right or am I right?
All I know is that everyone has a different road to take that leads us to the exact location, the epicentre of life.
All I know is that, if you really want your dreams to come true, you have to put the effort in doing so. Meaning that you can't just sit on your ass and wait for it to happen. Don't chase your dream, lead it. Chasing means that it's getting away. Whereas leading it means you already have a grasp on it.
My dream?
Shit.
There's a lot I want out of life.
From my dream car, to my dream job.
Then there's the dream of self accomplishment. The one where without it, there is no point of living.
That dream for me, is not been written into stone.
I'll reach it.

After 2am
the late night phone calls
the whisper so my parents wont hear us
the “Don’t fall asleep on the phone on me”
the “No, you hang up!
ok 1 2 3 bye… YOU DIDNT HANG UP”
the “Hold on, I have to switch ears, this one is getting sore. Ok back, what were you saying?
the triple digit numbers on your phone bill
the endless texts back and forth
the trying to multitask while trying to balance the phone on your shoulder and ear
the friend asking what you’re doing, “I’m on the phone with her” “Reeeeeet, go fuck already!” hahaha, fuck you =D
the games, would you rather, if you could, whats your favourite, etc.
the laughs
the tears
the endless hours of silence
but the feeling of being together
the sound of her voice, comforting and relaxing.
yeah, all those countless nights after 2am,
nothing tops that feeling.
Something I scribbled a few months back that I posted on tumblr

3. siblings
I only got one sister, younger sister. Although, as we grew up, my mom always told us that we had another sister in the middle. But I did the math, and it wasn't possible. Anywho..
So as I said earlier, I got one younger sister, Kristine. Before she was born, obvious I had all the attention. After she was born, I still had most of the attention. Sorry sis. So we grew up together in the Philippines. We never slept in cribs. I remember a room filled with just mattresses and pillows, there had to be like 3-4 beds. My mom and my servants at the time always caught my sister stealing my milk bottle after she finished hers. I blame her for me being skinny, lol. There were stories where I was stuck in a sticky situation, and my sister helped me. K, I was bullied and my sister scared them away. I don't remember much when I was young. But I remember when we arrived in Canada. We lived in a basement for several years. We would always play with the foam mattress we had and make kid tacos or hamburgers, or we would make forts out of pillows. Or we would play avalanche where we would bury someone with pillows and blankets and rescue each other.
Now, we don't do that any longer. But the childish things didn't leave. We would still annoy each other, talk in a childish matter, or just tease each other. Once in a while we would ask each other for piggy back rides down the stairs, but those are killer, for me anyways.
Now I know the in the future, we will never lose this act. I believe it will always be there between us, even when were both old and wrinkly. I love her. End.

day 3 parents
So the other day, my family and I were celebrating my sister's graduation at Boston Pizza. As usual, I get drunk with the older people, and my mom had to drive home. As we were arriving home, we had to get out of the car before my mom parks it. I opened the door, stepped off the car, and guess what? my mom rolled over my foot! I screamed "BACK UP YOU'RE ON MY FOOT!" If she gone any further I think she would of injured or even broke my ankle. I got really angry with her, telling her she's stupid for not seeing that I haven't fully left the car yet. But I saw my mom crying. That's when I realized that she felt really sorry about what happened. Afterwards, I felt really bad for yelling. I knew deep down that she really cares for me. It was an accident. I was drunk, so I just wanted to go to sleep and forget about it. But my mom comes rushing through my bedroom with an icepack saying her sorries. I just told her it doesn't hurt at all. But long story short, I really love her.
As for my dad, he always looks out for my wants and needs, even when I don't ask for it. For example, when I almost broke my jaw last year from skateboarding, he didn't want me to stop skateboarding, he just wants me to take it easy. Unlike my mom, she freaked out, which is reasonable for a mother. There's this other time when my dad is asking me if this flash, for my DSLR, is good. I didn't ask for a flash, but he knew that it would be a good asset for my DSLR.
Today, I ditched my parents, (they were going downtown), to hang out with my friend. As I arrived home, they bought the whole family Canada t-shirts. They planned a trip to celebrate Canada Day downtown wearing Canada shirts. I know it's kind of lame, but I wouldn't change a thing.
That's why I love them.

The other day, I told my mom that I didn't want a wife. I just want a dog and a loft or something. She got so mad at me because she wants grandchildren. I laughed first, but she was really hurt from it lol.
Maybe it's just me or maybe I've been feeling that I feel a lot happier not trying to pursue someone. I'm probably at that stage of life. Or maybe I've been through so much shit that I feel that it's not even worth fighting for anymore because it never works out..? I've become a bitter person to myself and to others. I either judge myself or the other person to analyze if we would match, based on assumptions and appearance. For example, I see some hot ass asain chick, and instantaneously I think she's hot, but at the same time there's no point to pursue her since (here comes my assumptions) probably a gold digger, high maintenance, whatever shit I can come up with. Or, I actually find someone I'm interested in only to doubt myself because of the current lifestyle I live or whatever. I know, it's a terrible thing.
But at this point, I don't even care. I just want to enjoy life. So maybe I should find someone to enjoy the ride, this ride has two seats ;). But I know my emotions will get the best of me. I don't even know. ugh screw this.. I'm done I shouldn't even have wrote this. fuckaskdhaksjdhjkadhiuadiuyeyouuuuu

If you are going to fall in love with me
If you are going to fall in love with me, it’s only fair that you know what you are falling in love with.
You are falling in love with my insecurities, and my obsession with trying to figure out what everyone thinks of me. You are falling love with my immaturity, my constant need to feel loved and appreciated, my overactive tear ducts, my internet obsession, my tendency to be too clingy. You fall in love with my troubled past, and my hopes and dreams, and how I’m a hopeless romantic at heart. If you fall in love with me, you fall in love with my self-hate and all my imperfections and my perception that nobody could ever love me.
But, you are also falling in love with the way my eyes will smile when I’m with you, the way I’ll text you in the mornings just telling you I hope you have a great day. You’re falling in love with the occasionally humorous and/or thought-provoking things I say, and the way I blush when people ask me about you. But to me, the most important thing will be that you are falling in love with me, despite my thinking that it is impossible.

I found this from my friend Sharie. thanks.

The Green Room
I haven't blogged in a while, well, because nothing remarkable has happened.
I feel like I'm in the green room waiting patiently for something.
You know how they say "this is the best years of your lives, so make the best out of it."
Well, for me, I'm more like "this is the most important years of my live, so I should sit my ass down in class and do well" kind of thing.
We're all living in fear.
The fear of the unknown future.
You know why the green room is green?
Because green is the most soothing and calming color.
It's suppose to relax you before you go on stage.
That's where I believe I am.
The green room.
Waiting, patiently, for my turn to do something memorable.
And when I do........
I'll be sure to blog about it.
haha.
PEACE.

You know that point in your life when you realize the house you grew up in isn't really your home anymore? All of a sudden even though you have some place where you put your shit, that idea of home is gone. You'll see one day when you move out it just sort of happens one day and it's gone. You feel like you can never get it back. It's like you feel homesick for a place that doesn't even exist. Maybe it's like this rite of passage, you know. You won't ever have this feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know, for your kids, for the family you start, it's like a cycle or something. I don't know, but I miss the idea of it, you know. Maybe that's all family really is. A group of people that miss the same imaginary place.

God and Science
‘Let me explain the problem science has with religion.’ The atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks one of his new students to stand.
‘You’re a Christian, aren’t you, son?’
‘Yes sir,’ the student says.
‘So you believe in God?’
‘Absolutely.
‘Is God good?’
‘Sure! God’s good.’
‘Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?’
‘Yes’
‘Are you good or evil?’
‘The Bible says I’m evil.’
The professor grins knowingly. ‘Aha! The Bible!’ He considers for a moment. ‘Here’s one for you. Let’s say there’s a sick person over here and you can cure him. You can do it. Would you help him? Would you try?’
‘Yes sir, I would.’
‘So you’re good…!’
‘I wouldn’t say that.’
‘But why not say that? You’d help a sick and maimed person if you could. Most of us would if we could. But God doesn’t.’
The student does not answer, so the professor continues. ‘He doesn’t, does he? My brother was a Christian who died of cancer, even though he prayed to Jesus to heal him. How is this Jesus good? Hmmm? Can you answer that one?’
The student remains silent.
‘No, you can’t, can you?’ the professor says. He takes a sip of water from a glass on his desk to give the student time to relax.
‘Let’s start again, young fella. Is God good?’
‘Er..yes,’ the student says.
’ Is Satan good?’
The student doesn’t hesitate on this one. ‘No.’
‘Then where does Satan come from?’
The student falters. ‘From God’
‘That’s right. God made Satan, didn’t he? Tell me, son. Is there evil in this world?’
‘Yes, sir.’
‘Evil’s everywhere, isn’t it? And God did make everything correct??
‘Yes’
‘So who created evil?’ The professor continued, ‘If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists, and according to the principle that our works define who we are, then God is evil.’
Again, the student has no answer. ‘Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things, do they exist in this world?’
The student squirms on his feet. ‘Yes.’
‘So who created them?’
The student does not answer again, so the professor repeats his question. ‘Who created them?’ There is still no answer. Suddenly the lecturer breaks away to pace in front of the classroom. The class is mesmerized. ‘Tell me,’ he continues onto another student.
‘Do you believe in Jesus Christ, son?
The student’s voice betrays him and cracks. ‘Yes, professor, I do.’
The old man stops pacing. ‘Science says you have five senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Have you ever seen Jesus?’
‘No sir. I’ve never seen Him.’
‘Then tell us if you’ve ever heard your Jesus?’
‘No, sir, I have not.’
‘Have you ever felt your Jesus, tasted your Jesus or smelled your Jesus? Have you ever had any sensory perception of Jesus Christ, or God for that matter?’
‘No, sir, I’m afraid I haven’t.’
‘Yet you still believe in him?’
‘Yes’
‘According to the rules of empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your God doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?’
‘Nothing,’ the student replies. ‘I only have my faith.’
‘Yes, faith,’ the professor repeats. ‘And that is the problem science has with God. There is no evidence, only faith.’
The student stands quietly for a moment, before asking a question of His own. ‘Professor, is there such thing as heat?’
’ Yes.’
‘And is there such a thing as cold?’
‘Yes, son, there’s cold too.’
‘No sir, there isn’t.’
The professor turns to face the student, obviously interested.
The room suddenly becomes very quiet. The student begins to explain.
‘You can have lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat, mega-heat, unlimited heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat, but we don’t have anything called ‘cold’. We can hit up to 458 degrees below zero, which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such
thing as cold; otherwise we would be able to go colder than the lowest -458 degrees.’
‘Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-458 F) is the total absence of heat. You see, sir, cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat we can measure in thermal units because heat is energy.
Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.’
Silence across the room. A pen drops somewhere in the classroom, sounding like a hammer.
‘What about darkness, professor. Is there such a thing as darkness?’
‘Yes,’ the professor replies without hesitation. ‘What is night if it isn’t darkness?’
‘You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is not something; it is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light, but if you have no light constantly you have nothing and it’s called darkness, isn’t it? That’s the meaning we use to define t he word.’
‘In reality, darkness isn’t. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?’
The professor begins to smile at the student in front of him. This will be a good semester. ‘So what point are you making, young man?
‘Yes, professor. My point is, your philosophical premise is flawed to start with, and so your conclusion must also be flawed.’
The professor’s face cannot hide his surprise this time. ‘Flawed? Can you explain how?’
‘You are working on the premise of duality,’ the student explains.. ‘You argue that there is life and then there’s death; a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can’t even explain a thought.’
‘It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life, just the absence of it.
‘Now tell me, professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?’
‘If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, young man, yes, of course I do.’
‘Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?’
The professor begins to shake his head, still smiling, as he realizes where the argument is going. A very good semester, indeed.
‘Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not t eahing your opinion, sir? Are you now not a scientist, but a preacher?’
The class is in uproar. The student remains silent until the commotion has subsided.
‘To continue the point you were making earlier to the other student, let me give you an example of what I mean.’
The student looks around the room. ‘Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the professor’s brain?’ The class breaks out into laughter.
‘Is there anyone here who has ever heard the professor’s brain, felt the professor’s brain, touched or smelled the professor’s brain? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you haveno brain, with all due respect, sir.’
‘So if science says you have no brain, how can we trust your lectures, sir?’
Now the room is silent. The professor just stares at the student, his face unreadable.
Finally, after what seems an eternity, the old man answers. ‘I guess you’ll have to take them on faith.’
‘Now, you accept that there is faith, and, in fact, faith exists with life,’ the student continues. ‘Now, sir, is there such a thing as evil?’
Now uncertain, the professor responds, ‘Of course, there is. We see it everyday It is in the daily example of man’s inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil.’
To this the student replied, ‘Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to
describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God’s love present in his heart. It’s like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light.’
The professor sat down.
The student was Albert Einstein. Albert Einstein did write a book titled God vs. Science in 1921..

‘You’re a Christian, aren’t you, son?’
‘Yes sir,’ the student says.
‘So you believe in God?’
‘Absolutely.
‘Is God good?’
‘Sure! God’s good.’
‘Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?’
‘Yes’
‘Are you good or evil?’
‘The Bible says I’m evil.’
The professor grins knowingly. ‘Aha! The Bible!’ He considers for a moment. ‘Here’s one for you. Let’s say there’s a sick person over here and you can cure him. You can do it. Would you help him? Would you try?’
‘Yes sir, I would.’
‘So you’re good…!’
‘I wouldn’t say that.’
‘But why not say that? You’d help a sick and maimed person if you could. Most of us would if we could. But God doesn’t.’
The student does not answer, so the professor continues. ‘He doesn’t, does he? My brother was a Christian who died of cancer, even though he prayed to Jesus to heal him. How is this Jesus good? Hmmm? Can you answer that one?’

Threat of Failure
I recently went to my road test and ....... things didn't go the way I wanted it to go. I'm really sad/mad/frustrated right now. But I had a little talk with my driving instructor about what went wrong on the test. Then he offered me a ride to my destination. Along the ride, he was telling me how I shouldn't worry that I failed. He said I'm a good driver and that he expected me to fail but that how life is. He was telling me how he once was a physiotherapist down in South America. He also told me his other experiences. After he moved to Canada, his life turned upside down. He said that he is nothing here. He's very hurt from this. There's other worse things in life. But you know, that's life. You got to go through the struggle to survive. I'm pretty torn about not getting my Class 7 but what can I do? Rebook in 2 week and take it somewhere else, stupid bitchass road tester. It's weird how a threat of failure can be used as a "positive tool". It's like the teacher telling you if you don't come to class you'll fail. Do you really want to fail? No. So you come to class and shit, pass, and you succeed. I'mma get my shit right.
