looniness
fake crying at the crack of dawn.
complete with fake tears.
much like amanda woods in the movie the holiday.
remind me never to drink coffee in the evening.

argh.

=================

writing fanfics. my new hobby.
so happy too that i got to read more books this year. 

恋音と雨空 - AAA

came across this incredible band while channel surfing. so love the melody of this particular song of theirs even if i don't understand much of the lyrics. one reason why i love Japan so much is because of its music. it's very distinctive.

everything to me - shane filan

LSS (last song syndrome). ear worm. whatever the term, this is my song of the week. :)

========================

thanks living

went to an american friend's despedida party last night. it was a small gathering of people from my friend's office, plus me and and another friend. it was a fun night of food, friends and lovely conversation. and since it's a week or so before thanksgiving in the states and majority of the people in the party are americans, the people decided to make the night a pre-thankgsiving dinner as well. each person around the table shared what they're thankful for, and when my turn came, my mind went unmercifully blank. many thanks to K for giving me a jumpstart :D

so, what am i thankful for? i am very thankful to God that my brother is safe and sound after experiencing the wrath of typhoon haiyan in kalibo, aklan. he has been based there for work since may. he's back home here in manila two days after the typhoon but will be returning to kalibo soon. 

after the sharing and the conversation went on to other topics, i got to listing in my mind more things that i am thankful for:

- my relatives in roxas city, capiz are also safe. 

- despite the ugly news about politicians politicking at a time like this, the many other nameless filipinos quietly volunteer their time in helping out any way they can to aid the victims. they are the ones who keep the bayanihan spirit really and truly alive. mabuhay kayo!

- anderson cooper. i've always admired this guy ever since i saw him on his talk show. the way he delivered his report on what's truly happening in tacloban, without any sugarcoating, sensationalising and such, increased my respect for him even more. anderson cooper, maraming, maraming salamat po.
- people from other countries who dropped everything and went to the philippines in different contingencies to help. from this filipino, i thank you from the bottom of my heart. i know i am speaking for my fellow countrymen when i say that we are all grateful for your selfless act. we may be quite a forgetful bunch, but we never, ever forget the good others do for us. God bless, and mabuhay kayo!

personal

- lost weight thanks to boxing.

- could finally give my t-shirts a rest.

- was able to develop some sort of discipline regarding my eating habits (more fruits and veggies, less junk!)

- was able to FINALLY learn how to apply make-up by myself. still practising, but i'm getting there.

- collection of david baldacci's king and maxwell series is nearing completion ^_^

 

and that's it. for now. because i have a lot of things to be thankful for this year, will definitely post more soon. 

advance happy thanksgiving! :)
