Face it–Too much of everything is enough to make you dizzy and puke on your lap!
I’m not a huge fan of Facebook. I have an account therein but I rarely open it. Why? Well, aside from the fact that I’m the stick-to-one sort, I just find it over the top, like there are a lot of things going on all at the same time and I can’t keep up! “SLOW DOWN!” I wanna scream.
There’s just too much stuff on the page.
Member X thinks he’s gone lunatic. Member Y is digging her nose. Member Z just grabbed your ass. Grab her ass back. Member A has a gift for you (some weird, animated, crazy, dancing flower. OK, I made that up.) Member B has a crush on you. Member C thinks you’re a hottie.
Oh man. And you gotta approve all that stuff. Every time I open it, I feel like a prominent government official whose sedentary job only requires signing tons of papers. It’s just annoyingly over the top.
Which brings me to one question. Why did I join in the first place?
I have no idea. I just heard people buzzing about it and without taking a second to make a prudent judgment, I joined. So there.
But to all my friends there, don’t worry. I’m not totely abandoning it. Let’s just say I’ll treat it as one of my many vacay rest houses? Haha.
No matter how much people talk down Friendster, I’m still going to be here, doating on it because…I love its simple format and its being so easy to manage. Or is it just my being technologically or “cyber-ly” outdated that makes me find it so hard to face it? Facebook, I mean.
Well, whatever it is, I just can’t reconcile with it. Period.
Egg-zams
Today, January 19, is the last day of our preliminary exam week. In less than 24 hours, I’ll be seated in the exam room, sweating blood as I read through the difficult legal problems in Corporation Law.
I only decided to take a break from studying and post this entry because my brain can’t absorb any information anymore. Hehe.
My previous exams have quite been OK. Well, except for Special Proceedings under Dean Ortega. The questions were quite fair as they were taken from his class lectures, although there were some of them which could not be found from the same or from any text book. But what made it very difficult was it was too long and we were only given 2 hours to answer them. Hay. I think–no, it’s sure–that I sucked in that exam. But it’s not just me who’s dealing with the same ordeal. A lot of my friends are complaining about failing to answer all the questions due to the very limited time given to us. I didn’t miss to answer any question; nevertheless, my answers were still stupid. So I guess I’m at a worse position. It would have been better if I had left the pages of my test booklet blank than what I’d done–writing answers which were either bereft of legal basis or logic. GARN. But I’m still hoping that Dean Ortega gives me a passing final mark. And I pray for the same for all my batchmates.
OK, I guess that’s all I can write as of this moment. Gotta go back to my reading lest I receive an egg in tomorrow’s exam.
Goodlyluck to me.
Goodbye, Hello.
Goodbye to my slacking and bumming days. Hello to the beginning of my hellish days.
No, I promised to stay more positive this time. So I should say: Hello to a more challenging period of my life.
I have a meeting in 6 hours and a class in less than 12 hours from now. Here’s to hoping that the morose blanket of clouds that have been following me for several years finally give way to the sun and allow it to shine upon me. Ameen.
Good luck to me as I re-enter the realm of reality. Will miss you all. Zoom zoom!
Peace out,
Nessie
Guinea Pig Force!
When I was a kid, my Dad bought us this children’s book on animals, which listed different kinds of animals with descriptions as well as illlustrations. The animals which I found to have stood out in the category of cuteness (based on the pictures, of course) were the guinea pigs. They were so round and stout and uber cute.
From then on, I dreamed of having a guinea pig in the house. But since my Mom is not a big fan of cuddly animals from the rodent family, I never got to have one.
In 2003, my sister and I were buying some foodstuff when we passed by a pet shop. There was a huge case displayed outside of it. In that cage were little, furry and absolutely adorable creatures. We went nearer to have a look. The one that caught our attention first was this very stout, light colored one. Unlike the others who were running around like a pack of wolves, this one just stayed in one place and was looking up at us. He melted our hearts with that innocent look on his face that we, almost impulsively, decided to buy him. As for his “partner”, we just asked the guy to pickany for us. He first picked a black-and-white colored guinea pig…but one of them in the cage caught my attention again. He appeared to be the “leader” of the pack that was naughtily running around as they followed him everywhere he ran. Not only that indicated to me his being a leader. He had this white fur on top of his head and on his “nape” was raven black fur and the rest of his body was covered with dark brown fur. That definitely made him look like a lion king. So we took him instead. Since we brought them home, they–Babbi and Mimi–have been part of our family for almost 6 years now.
Whenever I’d play with them, I’d think it’d be a good idea if Disney or Dreamworks or Pixar Animations would create a movie with guinea pigs as main characters because they are just, yeah, adorably cute. With the catena of animated movies starring furry animals, I thought guinea pigs deserve to be represented too.
As if they heard me silently wishing for a guinea pig movie, Disney is releasing a movie with guinea pigs as its main stars entitled “G-Force”! And they’re not portrayed as some dumb, little animals like Emille in Ratatouille; they are FBI agents who save the world! Now how cute is that?
Here are some movie stills that I found on the internet:
And here are my own spy agents, Babbi and Mimi:
The movie is showing July this year in the States. I have to watch it when it opens here in the PI and I hope I can bring my two little boys with me to the theater as my dates! 
Two Oh-Oh Nine.
I only have two bad things about me that I want to get rid of: LAZINESS (pertaining to school work and other aspects of my life in general) and PROCRASTINATION (Id.)
I have to be HAPPY. I have to live life with more zeal this time. I have to learn how to focus on the positive things instead of whining and crying over the negativities. I don’t want to be a depressed junkie anymore. I need to learn how to be happy amidst the problems, the heartaches, the pain, the sh*it.
I have to live with HOPE. I have to live with CONFIDENCE in myself. I have to live with FAITH that things will always get better sooner or later. I have to live with belief that God loves me.
I have to overhaul my entire mental attitude. I have to be so much more positive and optimistic. I have to be STRONG.
With these wishes for my betterment, I hope and pray that God help and guide me to fulfilling them. Inshaallah. Ameen.
NOW is the time. NOW is the time to CHANGE.
