LOVE... FROM THE WISDOM OF TELEVISION

Had an idle day watching TV while reading my book. Damn! Still 130 pages away. I don't think I won't make it till tomorrow.

Anyway... some interesting love quotes I picked up

"People are meant to be loved, not used. Especially friends."
Guess where I got this from.
From a conversation between a dad and daughter in "Friends in Love". This teeny-bopper movie of Sharon and Jackie Lou with Rowell and William. Hahaha! Finally, I will admit that I am a closet Sharon fan.

And when LUV strikes children...
Angelica: I'm playing the most dangerous game of all!
Chucky: Musical chairs?
Angelica: No, dummy! Luv!

It's funny when you hear it from a three-year old. Even if she's just a cartoon.

* * * * *

I miss my dad. And my mom. I guess, it's really Christmas then.

from some link that i got from solace's journal...

The decisions you have made will define your criteria in choosing your soulmate.

Education is your first priority.
Appearance is the second one.
Love is the next.
Finally, you don't care about Money.

R, don't you think it's slightly true? hehehe!

* * * * *

the psych test derived this from my choice of swimsuit?!

You are reasonable and mature.
It's not easy to trick you because you are intelligent, confident and have high self-esteem.
You love your freedom and never follow silly fashion trends.

i like what it says, though. :)

from the love test II

Here is your analysis

You are a person who is full of ambitions and creativity. You are very concerned about changes happening around you. You are also a very temperamental person. Mood swings tend to be your cup of tea.
Love life:

You are very easily attracted to the opposite sex, which means that you can't possibly be gay! The good thing is you are also a "hot target" among the opposite sex!

You can easily attract the opposite sex (CONGRATULATIONS!). Basically you are a very "popular" lover. Sometimes you'll wonder why so many people like to chat with you.

Really now? Getting attracted to the opposite sex I can say is true. Them getting attracted to me? Well, that is good news. Hehehe!

* * * * *

And this is how I handle my emotions:

Your attitude towards your emotions is a healthy one. You aren't ashamed to let your emotions show occasionally, and you will undoubtedly be much healthier because of this attitude. You are likely to be a good social advisor.

Maybe I'm in the right job, then.

* * * * *
ice cream cone test:

You are always wilful and most of the time, you are a stubborn person. But you love to work and are quite honest, which makes you good to get along with as a friend or lover.

i like.

marriage test:
1 Your future husband's characteristics:

2 How is your relationship with your partner:
love each other till death do us apart (seems to be so)
3 The clock represents how long you will date before marrying:
1 to 1½ year(s) (d-uh! it takes longer to make me say yes for a relationship, much more to marriage!!!)
4 If your husband/wife did something wrong, what would you do?
love them no matter what they did (hmm... this i have to find out)
5 Your future children:

Really good conversational skills!

You're an extremely kind and warm person.

How attractive are you to the opposite sex?
Average like the majority.

that's good enough for me! don't want all the attention, you know. hahaha!
* * * * *

1 What kind of person will you be attracted to in a real life situation?
Those who are unbridled and free (ah, yes! the untouchables...)

2 In the process of courtship, which approach would make you feel irresistible?
Being straightforward, and having your partner speak directly. (hmm... there does seem to be that trend)

3 What impression would you like to give to your lover?
Stylish (d-uh! and do you know me at all?!)

One where you can talk about everything and anything. No secrets are kept. (ah,yes. that is moi.)

6 Would you commit adultery?
Society and morality worry you. You wouldn't do anything wrong after marriage. (i can't even do it even when i'm not committed)

You think marriage is a precious thing. Once you get married, you'll treasure your partner very much. (yes, for isn't it the point of the whole thing?)

* * * * *
enough! enough! you're getting addicted again! :)

Christmas Hodge-Podge

Just got good news from the e-mail, thanks to TG. Q, my first JVP partner is in town. Yey! How much I miss the dude. :) I really do hope we get to meet up during the break. Though I'm feeling kinda shy calling him up. But definitely, I will do my best to gather the courage to dial the phone. Yipee.

* * * * * * * *

Finally, I get to experience vacation from work. Christmas break begins today and work will resume on January 7th. Finally, an idle day on my hands. Gimmick won't begin until 9pm. So I can just try to finish my book (The Fellowship of the Ring) until tomorrow lunch time. I have to since I will be watching the advanced screening tomorrow. I can't wait! I just love those fantasy movies. Give me any book with wizards, elves, DRAGONS!, witches... anything with magic and you will certainly make my day. (Though, I have only read three Dragonlance books because there are so many in the house I just don't know where to start!!!).

Still, I can barely feel the Christmas spirit. Weird, since I have been so joyful the past months. Bad time to reach a plateau -- Christmas season. Though I really love choosing gifts and wrapping them (thanks to R's guidance, I am starting to master the art... except for irregular shaped objects). And it's not even because neither mom nor my sister will not be spending Christmas with us. It's just simply not there. Am not even up to making the grocery list for Noche Buena.

Maybe I will need the time for some solitude and silence. Those are the moments where I best feel Him. This does not have to be during Christmas day. Hey! That's a great idea! I will look for a moment and a place where I can just spend Christmas with me and Him. Yeah!

Now, I'm starting to feel a little better. :)

This feels to be normal. I am okay with my results.

You were born somewhere in the territory of modern Central England around the year 1150.
Your profession was that of a teacher, mathematician or geologist.

okay... so is this why i am stuck in developmental work. it must be fate. harhar!

hodge-podge

just came from playing billiards with my officemates. had a good time though i am still a lousy player. i guess i just don't focus much attention to the ball to hit it right. oh well. i just enjoy the chance to hit.

i do feel so touched that they missed me so much when i barely have time to miss them. and to consider me as a standard of work performance... i must have been good with my job even if i hated every moment of it. oh well... it's the people who are important to me.

**********
today was an opportunity for me to enjoy christmas a little more. work has been such a flurry, even the lights and the carols i hear is not enough to remind me that the christ child will be born soon. but during our christmas party for the office, i gave my christmas gifts already. it felt so good that they really appreciated the gifts that i gave them. as in! it feels so much better than getting the gift that you wanted.

**********

my mood still a little somber. am happy but a little somber because of that little incident last night. sigh! knowing you broke someone's heart is not exactly a happy thought that could send you soaring to neverland. sigh.

sometimes beautiful, sometimes a witch

december 17, 2001, monday night, 11:00 PM. the seminarian boy who gave me flowers texts me to see how i am. as we go along out txtversation, he ends up telling me that i am his inspiration. that he knows there won't be a return of investment at all, but just being able to express how he feels is enough. yup. sometimes one can feel to be so beautiful. :)

digression: somehow, i have learned to understand how freeing an admission of truth (and feelings) can be. so i have a feeling that if ever i get into another relationship in the future, i'll be less inclined to scoff at my own PDA. harharhar!

december 18, 2001, tuesday night, 11:30 pm: someone tells me he loves me. i could only respond with a "thank you." and i know that just made his birthday less happy and his heart a little more broken. sigh! sometimes, one can be such a witch. :(

damn! lost what i wrote kanina. damn!

oh, well. just wanted to say that i don't have clear thoughts at this moment. that i still don't feel christmas though i had a taste of it when i went christmas shopping with R. that i had fun wrapping gifts.

and that it's KRLLs aka D's birthday today.

had a good time with my seminarians last night. they came from mindoro to sing christmas carols to benefactors. it was just fun hanging out. though after listening to five carolling groups sing, i can't still feel christmas. i did feel it when i went christmas shopping with R. but it didn't last long. still, i had fun wrapping gifts.

it's D's birthday today.
