I was drunk in Mogwai on a Monday night  
This morning, I had this unholy craving for salt. Or Lucky Me Instant Pancit Canton, I chose the latter. I do not know why every time I 
 get a hang-over I feel the need to stuff myself with salty food.

I want to remember last night. I want to fold the conversation in my head. The one I had with good friends (Sophia Maria and Johanna Marie) so as that i can remember some of the lessons I learned over that short period of time. But I forget about most of it now, I blame the fact that I stumbled and fell several times from the subdivision gate to the house, looking like the town drunk in flipflops and shorts. There is a certain loneliness to it, going home late on a Monday night alone with no one to worry whether you made it home safe. But then again, I will contradict myself because I know I do not like being patronized.

After not-drunk talk about promotional posters, iPod music, cuddling, boys fascination for drama, and mixed signals, I think I can safely say that:

We're all junkies who desire to be adored.

With Friends Like These, Who Needs Armies?  
I have been quite LJ dead for the past week. Mostly because I have been sick, and i have article back-log due to my absence.


In the meantime, let me choke your friends page with some pic spam. Let me tell you about some of my friends:

They are the type to make you appreciate the good things in life: from cheap 40p lunches in some random turo-turo in Laguna, to unplanned overnight trips to wherever, to knowing that they got your back no matter how many shit you've been in. They make me realize the value of best friends, hello to my beloved Joi and Elaine.

( That weekend in pic spam: )

Here Comes the Sun  
There is always something to be thankful for. No matter how crappy things had been. God does not shut us all out. He wields us because he knows we can.



So we went to Parks and Wildlife the other day. ( and I say it's all right )
This one is a testament that sometimes, when you are at rock bottom, there is no other way but to move up. I do hope that the universe is focused on some other people now.

Hindi lang puro drama ang buhay. Minsan, meron din namang rom-com. May comedy. At may light family drama. Kahit na paminsan minsan ay sawi tayo sa pag-ibig, sa paaralan o sa ibang kaibigan.

One day we'll get outta this shitty apartment
One day is all it takes for things to turn around now
All I know is I got you and you got me, babe

Good thing there is the hope that the universe occasionally throws at us: my mom can now move her left leg which she couldn't move due to the stroke's paralysis.

Things we have to be thankful for:

DEAR GOD. amen.
two cones of ice cream all to myself,
i ♥ my new hair color,
Alex who acts as the family's head and light for now,
Viki who is in UP PGH,
naging mas close kaming magkakapatid dahil dito,
my mom who can now move her left leg--it's a very tedious move,
my father who occasionally shows up--just before Father's day y'all.

absent si Yuri, kasi may pasok siya. NCPAG, y'all.

One day we'll turn on the tv and we won't see nothing 'bout war
And when that morning comes
I'll make coffee and you'll read the paper
We'll talk about our plans
And I'll keep saying how lucky we are.

Akh, I'm a bad writer. MUST jolt brain cells.
</div>
Cause I got you and you got me, babe.

A Girl's Guide to Dont's  
Don't do these things if you don't want your friend who is a girl to fall in love with you.
Alas, darling, you've managed to make your (best) friend who is a girl fall in love with you. Too bad, you're either not ready or you never really intended to.

Here are a list of things you should NOT do to your friend because you wouldn't want her to fall in love. None of the more obvious things like bringing her flowers or singing her a serenade. No. Let me include the more subtle thoughts.

( Don't you just wish this list came first so you should have been warned? )
    Well, these are all tried and tested. Believe me, this formula works! It's okay if you feel like doing one or two of the things enumerated. Or has unconsciously done three, but better be scared if you do more than five. Because, you may not know it yet, but your friend is harboring Joey-Dawson thoughts in her head. And little do you know, she'll start pulling a "My Best Friend's Wedding" on you.

Word to the wise, this is a girl's guides to don't's. If a girl says don't do it. Then don't do it. Unless you want to lose your friend by complicating the friendship with love.

Thank God for Best Friends  
Now that I got your attention.

It must forever be remembered that I am thankful for best friends: the one to hug you tightest when you most need it. The one to drag you--it's a very loving drag, thank you--from your work place to that region outside the city, the one to hold your hand while you are walking beside Hotel Sogo and discussing business permits and tissue paper.

The world isn't so bad. Especially with best friends in it. Thank you for the care package. You know it melts my cold heart.

I love you, JC. Thank you for GK. You know what I say: he'll be my metaphor for all the good things left in the world.

This must be public so everyone will know how thankful I am to have you, baby! *kilig na tayo*

One Thing You Should Know About Law School  
At one point, it will make you cry.

Yesterday, I had a bad day.  terrible day. If bad days are composed of lost pens and a stub on the toe, yesterday is terrible. The one you compare to sandstorms and diarrheas during job interviews or first dates. THAT terrible.

What you should know about law school, is that it will make you cry. No matter how you love it, worse so if you hate it. Be it before recits where you are stressing over 25 unread cases to be discussed the next day at noon, or during a recit after the teacher tells you how stupid you are, or after class--on the way home--because of the frustration you get after reading 28 out of 29 and being called to recite on the 29th case.

This I have to tell you, girls, law school will make you cry. One time per semester is a low count. So I am telling you now, before I hear it from you, law school will make you cry. Because in law school, it's never your day, your week, nor your sem. You just had to stick by it, because you tell yourself you really, really want it.

Ugh, I hate you February 20. You will forever be abominated in my book.

in other news, thank you, Joy. For the messages shared during my fx ride yesterday. Thank God for friends like you, and all the law school friends I have. What don't you know yet? friends are ♥.
