The Earth Moved

There was an earthquake! I got all dizzy watching my desk sway from side to side. LOL. I remember the last time I “felt” an earthquake… I was having lunch at the cafeteria (12th floor) in the School of Design and Arts building (Benilde). I thought the building was going to implode.

“Hindi lungkot o takot ang mahirap sa pag-iisa, kundi ang pagtanggap na sa bilyon-bilyong tao sa mundo, wala man lang nakipaglaban upang makasama ka.” ~Bob Ong

Rough translation:
“It’s not sadness or fear that makes being alone (single?) hard, it’s the fact that among the billions of people in the world, not even one fought (made an effort?) to be with you.”

I was supposed to go out with my college friends the other night but it rained so hard. I was watching the rain pour down when my sister got home. I went downstairs to keep her company while she had dinner then Chestnut decided she wanted to have dinner too — and she wouldn’t eat unless I ate too so I did..very slowly. Anyway, in line with Jess’s latest post:

Chestnut: “Keep eating, Your Royal Highness, so you won’t starve on your way home.”

That made everyone (my sister Leslee, my uncle Mao, and our housekeeper Linda) laugh.

If the rain had let up, I would’ve still gone out but I fell asleep while waiting. I hope Jen’s not too mad at me.

My sister has given me a one-month deadline to find a job — the same thing I did when she started job hunting. I asked her, “What if I don’t find a job after a month?” She said, “We’ll keep extending for 15 days at a time until you do!” LOL.

I’ve been moody all week — partly because I’m missing Jim and partly because I’m so anxious about getting a job. I need to get a job as soon as possible.

My family has been really nice. They’ve been keeping me busy — I think they’re worried that I might get depressed. The first couple of days after Jim left, my mom took me everywhere she went. LOL. I drew the line at going to the car repair service. There was no way I’d just sit there, waiting.

Then every night, when my sister comes home, we watch a movie or two.

But I still get lonely.

Today was pretty fun though. My siblings and I watched the first De La Salle Green Archers game of the UAAP, Season 71 on TV. But sadly, we lost.

I’m going to watch the Green Archers’ second game — versus the FEU Tamaraws — next Saturday with my cousin Clarenz. hehe. I told him we’d have to stay at the La Salle side or I wouldn’t go — he studies at FEU.

Ack… This post is all over the place. I’m too sleepy to concentrate.

What I really want to do right now is to go downstairs and eat ice cream. My sister bought me a tub of Choco Chip Cookie Dough this afternoon. YUM!

But I’m really sleepy… *BIG YAWN* so I’m just going to crawl under the covers and sleep. Good night everyone!

We’re going to watch Pathology tomorrow — Harvard Medical School graduate Dr. Ted Grey arrives at one of the nations most prestigious Pathology programs and is quickly noticed by the program’s privileged and elite band of pathology interns who invite him into their crowd. It is also here, where he is introduced to Dr. Jake Gallo, who brings him to a secluded wing, where he and four other indulge in their after-hours, extra-curricular activities…finding ways to commit the perfect murder!

Bittersweet

I updated the Blog Cast. I just checked the MH Archives and the links don’t work. It’s probably just a permissions issue. I’ll have to check the .htaccess.

My sister and I ended up watching Autumn in New York. I’ve seen it a couple of times before but never all the way through.

Will: “You look at me in a way that I haven’t quite earned.”
Charlotte: “So earn it!”

So I like romantic dramas/comedies, chick flicks as you might call them… But love makes life so much more worthwhile, doesn’t it? I seriously dislike those people who pretend that they only watch ‘thought-provoking’ films. I like watching no-brainers every once in a while. It’s called de-stressing. Besides, I think this movie is far from cheesy.

Charlotte: “There’s no lie I would rather hear than the truth.”

It’s a lovely movie. But towards the end, I kept thinking about whether or not they would still be that happy if Charlotte wasn’t so sick. People always appreciate what they have more when they know they’re going to lose it eventually. I know because I’ve been in that situation before. I know what it’s like to have a time limit imposed on your happiness. You feel the immense pressure of having to make every moment count because you don’t know if you’re ever going to have the opportunity to feel that way again.

Charlotte: “What have I done to you?”
Will: “You ruined me for other women.”
Charlotte: “I saved you for them.”

My favorite part in the movie? Hmmn… It would have to be the watch. Bittersweet.

And as for my own experiences…

2008 Plans for Midheaven and Celardor

First of all, I want to thank everyone who asked about my dad and prayed for him. I really appreciate it. He’s doing better and the doctor said he can go home on the 12th (Tuesday). To tell you the truth, I’m not looking forward to it. My dad is a terrible patient.

Then there’s this issue with my uncle and my aunt. argh. I want to stay out of it but I ended up as sort of a middleman. haha.

Anyway, I won’t expound on the family stuff because it’s full of drama and unhappy thoughts. I’m determined to start this year off right — absolutely no negativity.

And on that note…

I’ve been incredibly busy. I’ve started the major revamp I promised to do. I’ve finished moving Moonlight Reverie to the main site — well, most of it. I’ve dropped most of the content. I probably won’t add visitor content anymore (that will be for Celardor). Please let me know what you think! { VISIT THE MIDHEAVEN COLLECTIVE }

I’m going to revamp ARDENT, my fanlisting collective next. I’ll probably start with the collective then move on to the fanlistings with temporary layouts. I might adopt out or close some fanlistings. We’ll see. BTW, Kryz has decided to let me adopt The Wedding Planner Fanlisting. The new layout is up but I’m still waiting for her to send me the MySQL files so I can set it up. Watch out for that! In the meantime, let me know what you think about the layout.

EDIT: 6:30 pm — I’ve finished revamping ARDENT!
