stressed out?

Just because you're stressed out doesn't give you the right to be mean.
Just because you're stressed out doesn't mean you can be insensitive.
Just because you're stressed out doesn't mean people can't politely tell you that you're stressing them out.

Just because people who love you put up with you when you're mean, insensitive and hurtful, doesn't mean they're not hurting. They're just looking beyond the hurt.

So maybe you should try looking beyond the stress.

Christmas Wishlist

again, libre lang naman ang mangarap. :)

If you plan on getting one of the items, better leave an anonymous comment that you are. That way, people won't get the same thing, and the anonymity still makes for a surprise. :)

must haves (if i don't get these this Christmas i will buy them myself!):
* wallet w/ photo sleeves
* small-medium size huggable pillow for my cubicle
* small-medium size shirts/polo-shirts pref. w/ cool prints
* Bleach (anime) items (keychains, figurines, accessories etc). See here for a sample list. I really want some of these (i currently have none)! Meron yan mga cheap replica sa mga hobby stores in malls :)


okay din (but not urgently needed):
* stress ball (the one you squeeze with your palm)
* laser/optical mouse
* mouse pad w/armrest
* monitor glass cover (14"-15")
* cool stuff (pref w/ magnets) that i can put on my cubile walls - pref. bleach stuff!
* in-ear iPod earphones - sana iPod original, if not, Philipps will do (please wag Panasonic!)
* iPod FM transmitter (pwede rin generic type)
* case for 60GB iPod video that allows you to strap it to your arm while jogging (must include strap)
* authentic iPod video charger
* iPod video TV-out
* lots of blank DVDs/CD-Rs with cases
* Stardust by Neil Gaiman (book)
* simple, fashionable and durable wristwatch ( i lost my last one T_T )

unfortunately

I have this friend. And she has this broken family. But how can it be broken it if was never whole?

It's just so sad. How unfortunate are the children who never chose to be born out of an illicit affair? Children who spent childhood without a real father, and had to figure out adolescence for themselves because mother had to leave and marry another man? How unfortunate is that?

This may not be the most unfortunate thing in the world, but as her siblings search for a home in all the wrong places, lives start to veer towards paths of self-destruction. And then she is left to the task of being the mother and father who tries to contain the chaos while facing the challenges of her own life.

There are more unfortunate things in this world, but if you know my friend like I do, you'd see that cleaning up after the fallout your parents left behind should be somewhere near the top of the charts.

The Dance

On a tense summer afternoon,
just before the first rainfall of May
fallen petals dance with wilted leaves
in the forboding cool breeze.

They weave a scene of beauty
that leaves a serene memory
stronger than the storm's anger
and survives even after

the last raindrops fall
and the leaves and flowers are no more.
