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?.

Something To Do

“They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world. Someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.” ~Tom Bodett

It’s been hard settling back into my old routine. I miss Jim more than ever and it’s making me a bit loopy. Even Sammy is sad! Seriously. He follows me around and looks at me with sad eyes… He really liked Jim — I have a feeling that if Jim had stayed a little bit longer, Sammy would definitely like him better than me. haha.

I wish I could have introduced him to some of my friends but everyone was so busy. Hopefully, M-Rize, Jen and Paolo (at least) would be available the next time Jim comes to visit.

Speaking of friends, I’m going to see my Psych blockmates this Friday. Jen is taking care of all the details. I just really need to see my (college) friends — especially now that I’ve decided to go back to Psychology (more on this towards the end of the post). I haven’t seen them since graduation (October 2006). Gaaah! I am so glad to have finally turned 21. I think my mom has finally realized that she has to let me grow up sometime. The way my whole family has been so protective of me all these years – never letting me go anywhere unless someone drives me – really hasn’t helped my sense of direction. Imagine, I still get lost in the city I’ve lived in for the past 12 years!

I’m also planning to have lunch with Yeyers and Mica sometime next week. haha. Those two are crazy. They’ve been spreading rumors about why I went on LOA and I don’t know how many people actually believed them. I’m hoping Ice managed to save my reputation. LOL.

Hmmn… More about friends. I used to dislike social networking websites and told myself I’d never sign up for any of them but then my friends started to move away / migrate, one at a time and they badgered me to sign up so we could keep in touch (I signed up for a Friendster account for my high school friends then a Facebook account for Jazel). For the past few days, I’ve been talking to a lot of old friends, catching up. Almost all of my high school batchmates have graduated and they’re all pretty excited about working. Then just a few hours ago, I talked to a friend from elementary (on Facebook) whom I haven’t seen for 12 years and she told me that she still had these stickers I gave her back then. hahaha. I can’t believe it! And I can’t believe she still remembers me. LOL. Oh, and she told me that she’s 4 months pregnant — she’s having a baby boy.

Other exciting news! I’ve started looking for a job. I mean, I work for my dad and all but I want a “real” job with a “real” salary. LOL. I found one I like near the building where my sister works and it would be incredibly convenient if I got it. Wish me luck! I really, really want this job. Yes, that means I’m going to pursue a career in Psychology. My mom asked me, “If you could, would you go back to school?” I told her, “No. I am just so ready to start working (and I am so tired of studying).” As for art… Well, like everyone says, I’ll always have my art — wherever I am, whatever I’m doing. I’ve already packed up my art supplies and brought out my Psych books. I left a few boards and sketchpads out because I want to make something for Jim (hopefully, I’ll be able to finish something before his next visit) AND my Tito Mao (aka Tito Mao) asked me to draw his portrait.

Oh, and before I forget! I have a new hostee! Please welcome Kinza to the Midheaven Family!

Now I need to go. My cousin Clarenz is coming over in a little while (all the way from another city, about two hours away) so I can help him with his Statistics homework and I need to get some stuff done before he gets here.

Long distance relationships are hard, I should know I was in one last year. But you have to pull through it and it will be a-okay. Mine didn’t last but it wasnt distance that split us up. Just hang in there and you will soon see him again.

As for social networking sites, yah I didnt like them much either til facebook came around. I still think its pretty boring at times but as u said its a great way to keep in contact with old friends.

I took intro to psychology this year it was great.

take care

I always seem to be sucked into social networking sites as well… I feel so exposed on them. I feel like I’d be left out if I didn’t have Facebook, since it seems like people only organise events on there these days! On the plus side, I’ve got to talk to you a lot more since you got an account on Facebook, so it’s definitely not all bad haha.

It’s great that you’re meeting up with your friends it will help take your mind off things, I’m sure!

I hope you get the job! Good luck!
Simply Precious | July 2nd, 2008 at 10:42:45 pm

Yeah, I know what you mean about not meeting up with friends for awhile. Same with me.

Hehe about social networking sites. I’ve always signed up for that to keep in touch. That’s all I do on there, I don’t want to meet anyone on there. LOL.

Anyways, wow, you got a job?! Congrats!!!
Sarah | July 3rd, 2008 at 12:58:34 am

I love the new design!
Chans | July 3rd, 2008 at 2:54:40 am

Oh my it’s really been a long time since I visited here. I really like your layout!

I guess it was you that added me on facebook? As soon as I saw your name I made the connection with this site

Good luck in trying to get that job. I hope you get it, it’s a good start in the working world to get a job you want / like!
aya | July 3rd, 2008 at 9:11:32 am

Oooh ~ Love the new layout! It’s so pretty!

I had long chat via Facebook with one of my elementary school friend that I haven’t seen for at least 10 years just recently too O_o I was surprised she found me by just looking at the pictures XD;;

I’ve always wanted to become a chef! I asked my pops (third year college, course: nursing) if it would be possible for me to switch courses… He said no, wala daw akong mapapala sa cooking! AMF! Heto ako ngaun, unemployed and still not willing to work as a nurse. I graduated last 2006 pa, I passed the licensure the same year! haha! I have been stagnant for the past two years! Damn! Thanks for the drop by the way!
Anna | July 3rd, 2008 at 11:36:40 am

Aww you really, really love Jim don’t you? I suppose he didn’t stay that long cause you’re missing him so bad already. :|

I wish I can still catch up a conversation with some of my elementary friends, I’m still in touch with most of my highschool friends cuz I just graduated and most of them were my elementary classmates back in the day, lol.

But as for the friends I made who moved schools after elementary graduation, I miss them a lot and I hope I can still talk to them.. except they have new interests now.
Brittney | July 3rd, 2008 at 12:35:35 pm

Aww, by this August I’ll be in a long distance relationship. I’m terrified but you seem fine as far as fine can go when you’re missing someone, right?

I wish I could see some of my friends from elementary but I wasn’t exactly memorable so that’s nice that a friend remembered you. [=
Nicky | July 4th, 2008 at 2:14:51 am

I hope you enjoy seeing your blockmates. The only social networking site I like is facebook. It’s great how you can talk to your classmates from so long ago!

Good luck looking for a job.
Jess | July 4th, 2008 at 8:19:25 am

Ooo your theme changed. I really like it, elegant but kinda simple (except the shopping ad over there > on my screen is out of place, but that’s minor).

Mmm I guess since I’m new here, I don’t know the story behind why Jim went away… I checked your about pages and a few entries back but I can’t find why lol. =(
Still… long distance relationships can be difficult, but some relationships… you just know that despite missing each other a lot, everything will be absolutely okay. I get the vibe that it’s like that with you guys, and you have a really strong trust and bond… and I really hope time flies for you till you see him next.

I’m sure catching up with all your friends again will take your mind off it a bit though. Its so good to hear your reminisces of your old friendships… it reminds me of some of my friends that I’ve lost contact with (they still kept my drawings or whatnot lol. I still have letters from them…)

“real” job haha, indeed! I want a real job too! A lot of my friends work for family and whatnot, but it just doesn’t seem like ‘real’ work to me (maybe that’s just because I personally have no family to rely on). Best of luck to you for that job opportunity! Psychology aye… I’m gonna have to start coming here a ton and read all the archives lmao. I’m intending to study psychology next year and while I can’t wait!… I still have a few doubts and want to know what its reaally like lol.

Oh man this is a huge comment lol. I’ll leave it here. Take care, all the best!
Olivia Kitty | July 4th, 2008 at 10:37:03 am

I hope you get that job!

That’s a long way to get homework help, lol
Kimberly | July 4th, 2008 at 2:26:15 pm

Good luck on getting the job!
Emma | July 4th, 2008 at 8:07:37 pm

Wow I love the new layout, its so pretty.
Its good to hear that you have caught up with old friends.
Good luck with the job hunt and helping with homework.
Dizzy | July 4th, 2008 at 10:19:30 pm

How funny! I also signed up for social-networking sites to keep in touch with my friends, who are migrating one by one. [But I joined Facebook just to play games. Heh. XD]

Statistics is easy peasy.
bengbeng | July 5th, 2008 at 9:14:58 pm

I also signed up for social-networking sites to keep in touch with my friends but it turned out i am too busy to get involved in maintaining the sites
Frutee | July 6th, 2008 at 4:56:30 pm

Good luck with the job. :D
