I can go from the highest of highs
to
the lowest of lows
in
seconds.
What the hell?
Living hell.
Wish that I wasn't
this paranoid.

Silver Screen on Monitors
I LOVE TORRENT.
Thanks to it, i am now able to watch the films i was unable to watch in the past, either because i was financially-strapped or because i was still young when the flicks were shown. But that's all water under the bridge now because Torrent is helping me make my hobby of cinema-watching come true!
Okay, that just sounded like one of those perky plugs. Ugh. But really, i'm glad i finally downloaded Torrent. There are just so many movies, and i just want to watch a lot of them. And Torrent comes through for me.
Well, most of the time. It has its drawbacks too. Like for one thing, i can't leave my monitor on, thus my downloads are interrupted, when they could be continuing whilst i am in slumber. Another thing, our computer does not have a speedy connection, so the kilobytes per second while downloading can only come in droves at specific times in the day, when most people are awake and able to share their files. And also, i can never be sure about the movies that i download. For example, i was so hyped up about being able to watch Rachel Getting Married this evening, only to find out - to my dismay - that i have to follow some steps in some website (which included registering to porn sites), ruining my otherwise fun watching experience. Sigh. I guess Rachel will have to wait. Oh well.
But other than those downs, Torrent is just so kickass. I want to conk myself on the head for not thinking about downloading it ages ago. No matter though. At least i am now able to watch fims ranging from the mainstream to the indie genre, from movies in the rage right now to the downright obscure ones.
Gotta go. I'm downloading movies as we speak. :)

I want to ride my bicycle....
.... I want to ride my bike.. I want to ride my bicycle, i want to ride my biii-ike.
Well it's really my uncle's bike, but why ruin a good intro? :D I was supposed to start cycling for fitness today, but because papa was drinking last night with my uncle, day one did not come into fruition. Ah well.
I WILL GET FIT!
Brace yourself, summer vacation! I am going to bike the months away and i will get thin AGAIN.
God. I can't wait to look in the mirror one day and see the shape of the face i once had: UNFLABBY.
i can't help it. Food poses one of the greatest temptations in the world. When i come across a sumptuous piece of food, well. Something just takes over me and i make sure i devour the thing. Gah. Eating is just one of the BEST hobbies ever.
I wonder.. If i want to be thin this summer vacation, how can i balance it with my eating sprees.. Because undoubtedly i eat a lot during breaks; it's just a simple fact that needs no questioning. Lazing around = pigging around. Right? Right.
Well can't stop and think of that now. I'll just burn the bridge when i get there. Er. I mean cross.

Lost in Translation
I must confess: I suck at writing in Filipino. It's not that i was born speaking and writing in English. It's just that my ability to write in English was developed more than my ability to write in Filipino. And it's really embarrassing, this deficiency. Friends think i'm kidding them when i ask them to define a Filipino word or term or phrase, and laugh when they realize i'm not. God. It's not really my fault. I just wasn't exposed to Filipino literature that much, thus compelling me to find enjoyment in lit in the English language, therefore causing a blow to my Filipino vocabulary.
AND what's more, i am planning to major in Journalism this year, and should i pass the shifting exam, fluency in writing in both English AND Filipino is a MUST in the course. I was mulling over this particular dilemma when the answer came to me just today. And i feel stupid for not thinking about it sooner. When required to write a piece in Filipino, i just have to write the piece in English, and then translate it to Filipino after. Why not just write it directly in Filipino? Well, i believe that the (Filipino) words will come more easily and in a large number as well when the English-written piece is written on paper. Don't ask why i believe this to be so. It just is. Shut up. :)
THERE. My problems are solved.
Fuck. My solution isn't exactly college-material, is it?
Ah well. The time will come when i can honestly say that i am completely Bi.
Bilingual that is.
:D

Poetsssss and Poemsssss
I'm not really into poetry that much. Not because it's useless and stinks, but because i can comprehend only little of it. I don't like delving into things i can't understand (i hardly think many people like it, either); poetry is.. is.. mysterious. Well, more mysterious than prose, that is. For me, though. But anyway. I don't like poetry much, as i said, but i want that to change. That is why i want to collect poetry made by these persons, 'cause i think they're cool and 'cause i want to read cool poetry. :)
Sylvia Plath
ee cummings
Robert Frost
Hmmm. A woman who killed herself by putting her head in an oven, a quirky dude with an even quirkier style of poetry, and a British guy who is just fucking fantastic. Diverse, i know. And not exactly conventional poets to start with for a person who wants to understand poetry more. But whatever. I WILL learn to understand poetry. Learn, okay, not write. I hate my poems; they lack substance and style for me, and therefore they remain in my private journal. In perpetuity. :)
