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?.

I’m back!

There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound up in sorrows and in miseries. On such a full sea, are we now afloat, and we must take the current when it serves or lose our ventures.
~William Shakespeare

Wow… It’s been over TWO MONTHS since I last blogged - but I have been posting updates on Twitter - my microblog. Sorry for disappearing… I just haven’t felt like blogging (I’ve been saying that a lot, haven’t I?). So much for being a dedicated blogger! I’ve been so preoccupied. The truth is… I feel like deleting my files on this domain and starting from scratch. Argh. I want to change how everything looks but I don’t really have the time nor the patience to work on it right now. I’ve been really busy since the second term started. I haven’t had much time to update my sites but I’ll get to them eventually. I’m planning to merge most of the sites (collectives into the main domain; then I’m going to fix my journals on Livejournal, Blogger, Multiply, etc. to mirror Transient Dreams). I’ll have to do a full revamp because of the coding so it’ll take a while. I’ll work on these projects once my schedule isn’t so hectic.

Anyway, I wanted to tell you guys that my first term as an MMA student was great!!! I made the Dean’s List. First Honors. hehe. I couldn’t be happier about that!

My dad finally bought me a DSLR - Nikon D40X. I’m also using a manual SLR for my midterm plates - Olympus OM-1 - I love this camera! ^_^

If you could go back and just change one thing about your life, would you? And if you did, would that change make your life better? Or would that change ultimately break your heart? Or break the heart of another? Would you choose an entirely different path? Or would you change just one thing? Just one moment. One moment that you’ve always wanted back…

I made a list of everything I’m watching. I’ve been spending more time in our home theater than working on my projects/midterms (I used to be glued in front of my laptop… I dunno. I feel a bit incompetent right now so I’ve been putting off schoolwork. Nothing’s worse than when procrastination strikes!).

CURRENT:

Series:
Criminal Minds (mindhunting is fun!)
Grey’s Anatomy (Der and Mer…what happens next? *sigh)
Hello, God (I must finish this sometime)
One Tree Hill (I love this series)
Supernatural ( â™¥â™¥â™¥ ’nuff said…)

Movies: (the ones I’ve seen this month)
Blue Smoke (based on Nora Roberts’ novel)
Disturbia (Shari is right. Shia LaBeouf’s kissing scenes are HOT)
I Could Never Be Your Woman (Paul Rudd..hmmn. I liked him better in Clueless)
Knocked Up (review)
Mr. Brooks (a bit drawn out… I wish they’d just cut off the ending with the dream..it would’ve been so much better)
One Way (I’m never going to see this again..it was a waste of time)
Resident Evil 3: Extinction (the previous ones were so much better)
Rush Hour 3 (*see previous comment*…but I did enjoy it)
Transformers (the best movie I’ve seen this year)

PENDING:

Series:
7th Heaven (I miss this series)
Bones (I wonder what’s going to happen to Booth and Brennan?)
Dark Angel (I managed to resist watching this before even though Jensen Ackles was in it… It’s just that I’m not really a fan of Jessica Alba)
Private Practice (~~I’m planning to watch it today but I still don’t have Episode 2~~ - watched episodes 1, 3 and 4… yay!)
Pushing Daisies (Thanks Matt!)

Movies: (movies I want to see)
3:10 to Yuma
Beowulf
Butterfly on a Wheel (Ron says it’s really good)
Even Money
Golden Compass, The (must finish the books first)
Lions for Lambs
Mighty Heart, A
Ratatouille (I’ve started watching it but never got to finish it because my brother wanted to watch Supernatural again)
Stardust (not a fan of Claire Danes but I LOVE Neil Gaiman and Stardust)
Type O-Negative (I really liked this movie way back in high school)

Put me in your heart, go see everything…then come back to me.

Ya don’t worry I feel like that too sometimes.
You must add pushing Dasie’s on to that list.

It’s such a great show. xD
Michelle | October 21st, 2007 at 3:19:43 am

We miss you over at That’s Amore, but I’m glad to see everything is okay! I was a little worried. Congrats on Dean’s List!
Simply Precious | October 21st, 2007 at 6:58:59 am

LOL, I wished I can have all my journals mirror one of them! I just have toooo much to filter out, so I can’t do that! =( Oh well…

Congrats on making Dean’s List! I can never make that! =’(

Aww, congrats on the new camera, also! =)

Anyways, wow, about that quote from OTH. I think I would actually change ONE thing from my life. The ONLY thing that I regret in life… =/ *sigh*…

I haven’t watched ANY of those movies you’ve listed! I’m going to try and watch at least one of them at the end of the week next week, when my midterms are over with… Ooh, and I’ve watched Ratatouille in the theatres, though! I loved that movie! Btw, how are you watching it?? Just wondering, because it doesn’t seem like you’re watching it in theatres, and I don’t think it’s out on DVD yet?

Anyways, hehe, I miss 7th Heaven also!!
Shari | October 24th, 2007 at 7:08:36 am

I think a lot of people don’t feel like blogging as well…including me, of course. :D

Congratulations on making it to the Dean’s List! Yay for you! Suddenly I’m becoming more and more frustrated with myself because almost everyone I knew is a DLer. Dang. And congrats also to your new DSLR. Envy! I want to own one, even a manual, but that has got to wait until I earn enough moolah. Probably by the year 2020. Hehe.
Amber | October 28th, 2007 at 7:12:45 pm

You should really watch Heroes too; it’s very good for the soul, but not the waistband (I consume far too much chocolate whilst watching). Congratulations on making the Dean’s List! I have no idea what that means but… well, it sounds good.
yeye | October 31st, 2007 at 8:16:40 pm

nice to hear you’re finally back blogging after a hell week and stressed school works. hahaha, don’t worry, i’ll keep myself updated by following your simple blogs at twitter.
Sarah | November 9th, 2007 at 2:03:13 am

I’m in the same boat as you. I’d love to change my wordpress theme over at my personal site, but I don’t have the time and patience right now. It sucks that we get so preoccupied once school/university starts. Hope you get some time soon to do that!

BTW, that is a really good list of movies and series to watch! :D

I’m glad to hear you talking about merging some of your sites. Sometimes spreading your sites too thin can be damaging to your domain. And merging them will help you with updating. Update a couple of sites and you’re done. I’d go crazy if I had to blog in more than one place… And it will, of course, be easier for your visitors to navigate. I fully support your decision hun. *hugs*
Charlene | November 9th, 2007 at 9:15:50 am

Wow, do I ever know how you feel.

“Nothingâ€™s worse than when procrastination strikes!”

hahaha It strikes me all the time! Hey, it’s one of the reasons it took me so long to get back to blogging!
Chette | November 14th, 2007 at 3:29:38 pm

Hey! Congrats :D God bless :D you deserve it :D
FruityOaty | November 15th, 2007 at 1:36:44 pm

Hey! You’re back but it looks like you disappeared again when I finally came out of my blog commenting hiatus.

Yes, I’ve been away, too… on/off for 2 months. Wrote 1 entry in Sep. and 1 in Oct. I’m trying to blog a bit more now in November, but I’m still kinda bored with blogging. I recently got nominated for another award, which is really funny since I pretty much stopped blogging when I got nominated. Hehe.

I signed up recently for Twitter… and I just added you to my Twitter “Following list”. I like Twitter so far.

Take care!
Amy | November 16th, 2007 at 6:41:03 pm

Hey good to know I’m not the only one who went on a long hiatus. Gosh I hate it when blogging becomes a chore. It’s no fun that way.

But OMG! Congrats on making the Dean’s List. That is so incredibly awesome!

Oh I like that quote from One Tree Hill. It kinda reminds me of a book I read recently, For One More Day by Mitch Albom. The guy in that book gets to spend one more day with his mother who passed away. I love the way he writes.
xtel | November 27th, 2007 at 5:18:55 pm

Vickie | December 1st, 2007 at 11:18:22 pm

It’s been over 2 months since I’ve last blogged as well… but wow! First honour! Dean’s List! Congrats! Keep up the amazing work! :D
