write ups galore

it's not fair... 150 words aren't enough for a write-up.

here are the raw parts of my write up...

The girl has the biggest heart, backed up with her effortless beauty. She’s more than just an intoxicating dancer and her depth may be discovered once you get to know her. She’s more than 32 flavors and seventeen smiles combined. - Ashlo ;p

Little-miss overachiever, she’s got the looks, the brains and the talent. Oh did I mention that she likes pink marshmallows? – Kat Angeles

What’s behind Char’s oh-so-popular smile? A graceful mix of beauty, brains, talent and character. No wonder she cant stop smiling. – Pat Bautista

Char just overflows with talent. She’s a singer, dancer, genius and ever reliable friend. What more could you ask for? – Mel Cotaoco

Brilliance and passion that comes gift-wrapped and bow tied in shades of scarlet, ivory and ebony. One of the rare and beautiful creatures to grace the dancefloor and the hard court. – Kristine Caguiat

Char is one of the most OC people I know! (Who numbers their pens?) But I love Char for her neatness! This sweet little lady has been with me since 7th grade and has evolved into one of my closest friends. – Pia Rivera

Char is the OC queen of Kahuna land. Obsessed with the colors red, black and white, she’s an awesome dancer and passionate cheerleader. She’s a smarty pants and a great friend. – Robin Aguila

A fastidious perfectonist with the unique ability to keep her silky smooth hair intact. – Pat Ocampo

From one-on-one sessions in Baguio to *ahem* in Hardcourt trainings, Char never fails to spread her genius genes! – Cam Sugay

My neurotic, perfectionist friend!- Gayle De Leon

My Lovely and kikay cheerful and brilliant buddy! – Lia Albano

Such a lovely lady with the brains to match her beautiful face. – Colleen Mijares

A natural born genius! – Lara Martirez

Char - a name that the word 'well-roundedness' is so often associated with. She balances brains and talent with such poise, and she carries herself with grace that can only be encompassed with her stunningly bright smile.- Camille Himala

Char and I have gone through the whole jungle together, ridden a magic carpet, rowed down the riverbend, and ran through hedgehog drive. She and I have shared so much together and what excites me is the adventure continues. - Pasia

Char, in ALL WAYS a charm and ALWAYS radiating with beauty. – Ana Reyes

on the mountain of God

5 days spent in isolation... cut off from civilization, the noise, the pollution, school and sadly, my bathroom. Nevertheless... everything felt right.

melodramatic nonsense....

out of boredom and pure misery, i went through my sister's blogrings and found this in some random xanga...
i want to be someone's last call of the night and they're first thought in the morning.. i want those five hour conversations that end in no you hang up first...i want the heart racing, palm sweating, what's gonna happen next moments..i want the hugs that you never want to let go of and the stolen kisses that are always the sweetest..but most importantly, i want someone to think of me as theirs..

envious

I envied the mediocre man. He is not compelled to stand out and be better.He's satisfied with being average, with being ok. He sees no light in being great and exerts no effort. No great accomplishments. No awards or recognitions. No expectations. No disappointments.

I envied the stupid man. Devoid of intellect, he believes that everyone is as stupid as he is. He feels no drive to pursue new ideas or to make sense of life. He is blind to reality. He is happy and comfortable knowing what he knows. He knows no better. No worries. No responsibilities.

wouldn't life be so much simpler if we knew less and wanted less out of it?
as meer mediocre and ignorant men they never do get to solve the greatest of all enigmas that is life. content with what they know, what they have and what they do, it just seems as though life would just simply waste away...

I envy the dreamer, with his head in the clouds. Thinking big never hurt anyone...
I envy the artist and the writer, with their ability to capture reality and the surreal. Creativity is wealth.
I envy the bohemian and his strange ways. To see the world in whole new perspective.

what i repeatedly fail to accept is that there's no such thing as a carefree life... at least one that's worth living. there'll always be something that'll bug you along the way but it's all part of the ride. how can there be any ups when there are no downs right?

disappointed

i just got home and here i am typing... i should have known from the anxiety welling up inside of me that it was going to be a bumpy ride...

i refuse to refer to the vigil performance as a "performance." Sad to say... i didnt put much heart into it. I wanted to. I wanted to finally be able to truly dance for God, but in the end, it was heartless routine. i love hardcourt... i'm sure everyone knows that. but all THAT was to me was an effortless, meaningless, half-hearted dance and a plastered smile. disappointment... it sums up everything. I could choose to blame the slippery wooden floors, fatigue or the lack of preparation but i know that i could have still made it work. i was simply dancing, not performing. No passion, no emotions, no heart. for the first time, amidst the muscle pains and disappointment, i felt empty and almost numb. No excitment, no adrenaline rush... nothing.

the plastered smile... otherwise known as the cheerleader smile, the plastic smile, the "it's fine" smile, it's the i-dont-know-what-the-hell-i'm-doing smile... the empty smile, the cover-up smile. last night, my smile embodied all of those. a part of me just wasnt there for me that time and i guess it made all the difference. facing the crowd... what else is there to do but smile?

in those times i need you most, you never fail to disappoint me...

insanity beckons...

yes, PatO… God is a genius. Creating 6 billon unique individuals, mapping out a plan for each and every one and everyday, watching as their lives pass them by. It’s funny though how everyday, these same 6 billion do something, whether big or small, to please God and in return are they pleased as well? Is it possible that in reality, God gives us what we need and even more and yet we neglect these hence, are not pleased and therefore blame God for what, in reality, we have done to ourselves? Is it not our own choices, decisions and lapses in judgment that cause our downfall? So, in the end, who’s there to blame but ourselves? Could this idea be the origin of over-achievers, obsessive compulsives and perfectionists… namely me? Sadly, I fear, I will never be satisfied. How messed up can I get?

3 days 13 hours 50 minutes to go till the UPCAT! Oh joy…

and here I am… unsure of what course to take, surprisingly apathetic to fact that I haven’t completely studied any of the science and english subjects for the UPCAT, too lazy to finish my pinoy project (which I have to give on Thursday), lacking inspiration to even start on my Ateneo essay and too engrossed in Harry Potter that I have neglected every other task I have to do… some kind of over-achiever.. luckily, i have been blessed with the gift of procrastination.

I live in a world where mediocrity is failure and perfection is the only option. But perfection is non-existent and "good" is relative. In the near future, I may just go mad…

peace.delirium.the half blood prince.

another tag reply...
rallying for peace? i think it's something good... provided it's intention is to gain peace and that alone. i think rallies are helpful in a way that it's how the people can express injustices or just voice out what they have to say. BUT excessive rallies are just an implication of the people complaining too much. filipinos tend to rally about every single thing that somethng that's supposed to be great and demostrate people power has become something redundant and almost routine. It's kinda sad that we find it normal nowadays to hear of rallies and strikes happening almost every week, every month complaining bout low wages or high prices... like it's gonna help much. With our economy, there's not much the government or firms can do. and they should be happy that they even earn minimum wage. anyway, back to peace rallies... i think those type of rallies still have their integrity intact. No complaining... just a clamor for peace.. which i think is badly needed not only in the Philipppines but all over the world. BUT i think our government is too corrupt and self absorbed that their cries may go unheard. thing is, for rallies like those to work... they have to be big and they have to last. a day just wont do sometimes. but with what's happening in our country now... is peace really the answer? not to sound ruthless... but i think we should be rallying for a change of government rather than peace... coz if you look at it, to gain peace, that's what we need, a change in government. i'm sure ashlo will disagree with me on that... haha!

DELIRIUM.intoxication.hallucination. cigarettes, flasked vodka and tequilla, DANCING or should i say bumping and grinding the night away (with megz! who i must say is so fun to grind with.. what has she been doing in the states? ;p) and, sadly, another missed sexy inuman. BITIN!

I WANT HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE NOW!

take action...

I've just put by name behind a global call for
the leaders of the world's richest nations -
the G8 - to take action to end poverty. They
have the power to do it and only need the will,
and by joining this call you can also help
convince them.

Simply add your details at:
http://www.whiteband.org/Actions/g8/en/takeaction
It takes less than a minute.

Nelson Mandela said early this year that
'Sometimes it falls upon a generation to
be great. You can be that great generation.
Let your greatness blossom. Of course the
task will not be easy. But not to do this
would be a crime against humanity, against
which I ask all humanity now to rise up.'

Act now:
