Transient Dreams

Let the light pierce through the darkness Close all old accounts, turn a new leaf Re-learn that old lesson of friendship Kill nor be killed, settle for lessening Amidst us of this fossilized hatred

Transient Dreams

glimpses of life… silence and chaos; laughter and tears…

Perhaps that time has not come yet when our, Gods would listen to the beats in our hearts, peace and happiness spread their glow, perhaps we would have to force Mother Time?.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

He who breaks a thing to find out what it is, has left the path of wisdom.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone! I can’t find my four-leaf clover! (hehe..I’m referring to a holiday card from my grandmother, I used to wish on it when I was little). This is the day when we all get to be Irish! LOL. But technically, St. Patrick’s Day is over - we’re a day ahead, GMT+8. But it’s still the 17th in Ireland right?

Hehe, I just realized that I haven’t blogged for two weeks now. Sorry about that! I’ve been busy agonizing about the not-so-good as well as the great stuff that’s been going on in my life lately…AND I’ve been playing online TCGs. There’s a new link next to “The Pursuit of Happiness,” Connoisseur, my TCG Trading Post. PLUG: Hunters Inc, a Supernatural TCG. Please don’t forget to say Fatima referred you!

BTW, Monica and I are planning on creating a TCG Awards Site. I’ll let you guys know once we’ve started working on it - in case any of you own/run a TCG or plan to open one. (*Note: Monica is the owner of The Grey Havens, a Lord of the Rings TCG.

As you all probably know, I took the entrance exam yesterday! It was okay. I did very well on most of the subtests except for the two Math parts. I’ve forgotten how to solve some of the problems so I only managed to answer about half of the questions on both subtests. I just guessed the answers on the rest. haha. Now all I have to do is wait for the results. Hopefully, I did well enough to pass. And if I do pass, the next thing I’d have to worry about is how to pay my tuition. *sigh…

Remember when I said I lost five kilos? Hehe… Well, I’m back to my normal weight. I don’t know how I did it but I managed to gain three kilos in one day. My best friend’s mom is such a great cook! I must have consumed half my own weight in food after Alexis‘ (my new goddaughter!) christening.

My favorite cousin might get married..by the end of the year. I think it’s okay. She’s turning twenty-four on the 21st and I think she’s responsible enough. She has a stable job, she seems to have most of her priorities straight, etc. Anyway, my point is, when we talked yesterday…on the way home, I realized that I didn’t even ask her if she loved the guy. Somehow that made me feel like I treated our conversation like a business venture or something. I’m a romantic, always have been but I guess things like marriage..I see them in a much more practical way. Or am I so cynical now that I didn’t even consider love? It really bothers me.

My sister and I are currently watching Season 3 of Felicity. Yay! I’m trying to keep my mind off Supernatural. Gaaaah! I’m so addicted to it. If you’re a fan too, please join Hunters Inc - make my day, say I referred you. Haha. Shameless plugs. Bear with me. I rarely get obsessed about TV shows. I am and will always be a book-over-movies-and-TV kind of girl.

First of all, I want to thank Vera for tagging my board! It’s been getting lonely. Chau, hehe. My private blog’s not up yet. I’m trying to decide whether to host it on my domain or find another host so that it’d be harder to trace. What do you guys think? Cherrie Asakura, thank you. That means a lot to me. Hey, maybe you could still take some computer courses? Even if it’s just for fun - if that’s something you really enjoy. Danna, Trixie and Vera, thank you! I still haven’t gone to the doctor but I’m back to my normal weight so..hehe. I’ll probably still have a check-up sometime this year though because the chest pains haven’t gone away completely. Luccia, wow, congratulations! I haven’t heard from you in a while. I’ve missed you… Amy, yay for another long comment! The Pursuit of Happyness: I actually didn’t notice the wrong spelling until after I saw the movie - I noticed it on the movie poster. haha! I don’t know how I missed it. Chette, thank you dear! Snez, yes, the world does work in strange ways. I try to gain weight but can’t. Pfft! Shelly, I lost 11 lbs., to be exact. Gaaaah! But I’m back to 48 Kg. *whew… I’ve always wanted to donate blood but I’m deathly afraid of needles and I’m anemic. I’ve tried iron supplements and it helps..but I’m still anemic. Haha! I know another Christina who’s a bit like Christina in Grey’s Anatomy. It’s definitely freaky. I like Preston and Christina’s relationship. Christina’s not into the mushy stuff but you can see that she really cares about Preston. It’s like those people who are so considerate of each other when they think no one’s watching (something Cher said about Dionne and Murry in Clueless).

Okay, that’s it for this blog! I’m off to watch Felicity with my sister.

LOL about your private blog… I thought that you’d just password-protect it… I’m not sure what you should do… You can just protect your whole domain from being indexed on search engines with a robots.txt… Yeah, you’re choice…

Anyways… LOL, I never tried looking for a clover. I haven’t done that probably since elementary school!

I hope that you had passed your exam also! As for tuition… Can you get financial aid?

About your cousin getting married… Haha, reminds me of the password-protected entries that I wrote for the past 2 months… Haha. But it sounds like she’s good to go! Hehe…

I want a four leaf clover more than anything!!! Gargh, I always used to walk home from school and skim through AAALLL the clovers but never found a single one Once, actually, I saw something that really looked like a four leaf but for some reason I couldn’t be bothered bending down and picking it up so I just kept walking.

Oh the irony. It kills me.

I never watched Felicity, I wanted to but something else was on at the same time, I have no idea what it was, that was a long time ago. I’m like you, I like books over movies and TV too.
I’m sure your cousin is in love or she wouldn’t be getting married so I wouldn’t worry too much about that and she probably never expected you to ask her if she loved him

Hi. I read your comment. I am actually planning to take those short courses offered by Informatics. I hope I pass. And I am way behind St. Patrick’s Day. I used to find a four-leaf clover but I wasn’t able to find one. Unlucky me. I sure wish you found yours. Btw, did you see a leprechaun? Hope you did.

That’s great to hear that you did well on your entrance exam! I hope the results turn out great!

Good to see you’re back to your normal weight now, hehe. Yikes three kilos in one day! I’d be devastated, but I’m trying to lose weight, hehe.

Well perhaps the reason why you didn’t ask her if she loved the guy was because we all tend to immediately assume that we wouldn’t marry someone that we didn’t love? I doubt she would’ve thought that you treated the conversation like a business call or anything!

Oh I love Felicity. I loved how thoughtful she was. I also thought it was so creative how she sent tapes to Sally instead of letters. I’ve always been a lover of books, but I’ve always loved TV shows too.
