My Birthday Wish List

Tomorrow, I will be officially leaving the teenage planet and if I make mistakes naivete won't be a valid excuse ANYMORE.

So, bad thoughts aside, I deserve the right to be a little self-indulgent. Here's my birthday wish list: (GET ME SOME GOODIES, BIATCH!)

1. Atonement; book by Ian McEwan
2. A pair of Dupe/ Havaianas/ Old Navy Slippers
3. A pair of pointed black leather shoes
4. A new mascara in brown-black or black
5. A massage! (sigh)
6. Simple, Everyday Silver Earrings
7. Albums Almost Kinda Acoustic 1, 2 and 3
8. A new phone! (pref. LG KS360, SE W302/ W395/C702, Nokia E71 or Samsung Star)
9. A BIG BOUQUET (sigh!)
10. A coat-like dress
11. A pair of boots (brown or black)
12. An uninterrupted day with....nobody nobody but you :)

YOU'RE UGLY!

let's get one thing straight:
you're ugly.
your face is the landfill
of an AIDS-laden
third world country.
your breath is the smog
on my windshield
your skin is a snake's
hand-me-down
your body is the new planet
which Pluto envies--
a whirlwind of trash,
add a teaspoon of monstrosity
and a bucketful
of hopelessness.
and your forehead,
a helipad.
you are the surplus
of the surplus
of substandard pandesal
everytime I look at you
I feel like I don't have
enough middle fingers
and you actually look good
when I'm not looking.
you are a cuss word
I will never be able to say
though everything I say
that's profane
is a love letter
to you.
DIE.
(that was not a request.)

Words Women Say

FINE
This is the word women use to end an argument whenthey are right and you need to shut up.

FIVE MINUTES
If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour.Five minutes is only five minutes if you have justbeen given 5 more minutes to watch the game beforehelping around the house.

NOTHING
This is the calm before the storm. This means"something," and you should be on your toes.Arguments that begin with 'Nothing' usually end in"Fine"

GO AHEAD
This is a dare, not permission. Don't do it.

LOUD SIGH
This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbalstatement often misunderstood by men. A "LoudSigh" means she thinks you are an idiot andwonders why she is wasting her time standing hereand arguing with you over "Nothing"

THAT'S OKAY
This is one of the most dangerous statements thata woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" meansthat she wants to think long and hard beforedeciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

THANKS
A woman is thanking you. Do not question it orfaint. Just say you're welcome.

Instant Pick-me-Uppers

1. Chocolate Mousse
When I was in Iloilo, participating at the most stressful tournament I ever had (I was sick and weak), Bruneson always wanted to eat Chocolate mousse everytime a day ends. I always brushed his request off my shoulder because it sounded pathetic. I mean, how can a sugarful dessert scoop me out of that dirt? I kept feeling worse each day. I got 2 rounds of full body massage and still I'm not feeling better. When we were at the Iloilo airport for our flight back to Davao, Ria bought a slice of Chocolate Mousse. I took one bite off, and man, it's like a wave crashed towards me, tipping me over, breaking me apart and bringing me back in one piece...as if I was whole from the start. It made me forget that my breakfast was inadequate. It made me feel good about coming back home. It made me realize that I have other chances of improving myself in other tournaments. From now on, I will be associating Chocolate mousse with positive stimuli. I hope you do to.

2. Uptown Girl
There's something so happy, inviting and relieving with this song. If you listen to it (the Westlife version), it shows traces of theatrics, the way the voices blend and how the words being used can easily paint images. Moreover, what I like about this song is that it talks about love/infatuation at its simplest sense, using the simplest words and expressions.

3. Wearing Super Light Blush On
Everytime I feel sick, I feel like I look like a mess even if I dip my head in conditioner. What I do to feel better is that I wear light blush on, a shade which blends perfectly with my skin. It's the classic no-make-up makeup, and it works everytime. People come up to me and say there's something that looks "pleasant" in my face but they can't really pinpoint which. When they finally give up, I just tell them I tweezed my brows. Neat, huh?

4. Hannah Montana
I just love this kid. A lot of people think Hannah Montana is a "shallow" show; it's satirical, tween-focused and West-hugging. With these in mind, it makes watching Hannah Montana (and loving her!) one of the easiest things in the world. Nonetheless, it's funny! The characters and circumstances are exaggerated, yes, and that's just the perfect break you need in a haste-driven world. Give it a try. I got two seasons down already.
