I didn't notice it's already past 9 o'clock in the evening. Well, not until my laptop's time caught my attention. Man, how time goes by so fast.

It's been a really tough week. For the most part, it's school-- the rest, some other things I never thought would even bother me. I can say I'm quite spaced out. When I think about it, I can almost laugh at the thought that, few days ago, I was at the brink of losing my head again.

I just got home. It's now 07:21 PM in my computer's clock. I'm feeling drowsy and it's really weird because I find it hard to sleep these days. It's not insomnia or what. I just couldn't get myself to sleep.

Many has happened for the week that passed. Well, more than a week actually. It's been eleven days and 10 nights since I arrived home and what did I do? Nothing.

My Own Elucidation

By elf_archer09

Why do we exist? Maybe like me, you sometimes ask the same query yet no matter how much you excavate deep into your head, some things will remain to be awfully vague. Our human brain can only think so much, even if it’s said that we certainly are the most intellectual creatures treading on this planet.

Being yet again interested about how varied people see life as it is, I roved around and asked the question. Alas! I was responded accordingly. Some say we live for ourselves; for our aspirations and dreams. Others say, we live for others, so we can make them happy and by that, we become jollier as well. In any case, I say we live for both and all other reasons that one could possibly deem. At least, that is how I recognize it.

You see, living is designed in such an intricate manner for us to understand fully how it is. Thus, we develop beliefs, may it be collective or individual, to help us move along with the current of our existence from a day to another. Honestly, it don’t really matter what you believe in, what matters most is that you single out which of the gazillions of reasons floating around us is the answer to why you have a breath of life in you. Above all, you must know your God, (a divine faith which you should NEVER detach yourself from).

Writer’s note: If you ever read this piece, you may find me surreal for even bothering myself with a concept that, for so long, philosophers of thousands of years ago have boggled their minds reflecting unto. Yes, I maybe am, however, what pushed me in letting you in on this thought is the fact that inside each of us is a thinker, a philosopher. One moment or the other, you find yourself deliberating about it. With that, I know you can somehow relate to this.

Have a good day!!!! God Bless!

What's Up With Plurk Anyway? You Ask.

Plurk is a social journal for your life (as it is described in their front page).

 

Plurk for me is wayyyyy beyond that. Plurk is an easy-share/easy-post micro-blogging site. It's very interactive and filled with shitloads of info and fun. Your friends or fans can easily learn about what's in your mind depending on what you share and in turn, they can give a quick response to it too. But, being still "YOUR own journal", you can disable comments of a particular Plurk (the threads you start or the things you post). 

 

Your Plurk friends are the people whose Plurks are followed as well by you. You in return can respond to them or just ignore what they have to say when they don't draw your attention at all by simply not responding or putting them in mute (I prefer muting them just to avoid being bothered by some annoying plurks). Now just to tip you off, the world is still cruel out there (lols). I'm not speaking in general, but some, if they find you objectionable and they feel you're just another fooltard who doesn't have a place in their plurk space, they can effortlessly un-follow your threads (that's friendly enough actually), un-friend you (don't worry, you won't be notified if you get deleted in someone else's list), or worse--block you. Aww! When this shit happens, you’re off their timeline, baby. Don't take it personally, that's just how it goes. They're entitled to who they want to remain in their page, just like how it is with you too.

 

Okay, timeline; A timeline is a timeline. This shows your threads in real-time. You can see on which date and at what time a Plurk is plurked. Don't get confused with all the boxes afloat the page they're the Plurks I'm telling you about.

 

The catch about this thing is that unlike other social networks, you have to maintain your Karma Points. The karma points is like your pass or key in unlocking some of Plurk’s fun features such as new sets of emoticons which are crazier than the basic ones, the right to give your page a title, change your Plurk creature to a more colorful one, and upon reaching Nirvana you're more like an elite member of the Plurkworld. You'll get there when you reach 81 karma points and you’ll be able to see a shimmering Yin-Yang Symbol in your profile.  It doesn't end there though. When you reach 100 karma points, quite frankly nothing special would happen except that you get your "bragging rights". lol..

 

Take note: The Karma points doesn't go upwards alone. It can dramatically decrease whenever you miss a day of plurking. Yes, quite bitchy I know. It is a high-maintenance stuff. But if you're going on a longer vacation, you can do Karma Freeze. This is found in the "My Account" Section. (You'll know all about it when you're already in Plurk). Another tip: According to a popular plurker, whom I totally agree with, a real plurker at heart isn’t bothered by the Karma points.

Well, if you are a newbie, your eagerness to increase it is understandable. J

 

Besides the technicalities of Plurk, the thing which I love the most is that you learn f***loads of things from them; Things which you can’t learn from school. Hopefully, you’ll be able to be virtually friends with some of the coolest people in the country. Indeed, Plurk has taken a lot of pinoys, and the world as a whole, by storm.

Don’t worry though, I myself had a hard time dealing with it at first but now I’m truly lovin’ it. Plurk keeps on growing and developing. Recently, the Plurk Search was launched and is of great use to many Plurkers such as myself.

By the way, never expect to have or gain real friends from it. It’s still the virtual world. The rest concerning it, I leave to your probing skills.  Just have a plurk-full of fun!!  I hope to see you there. *wink* wink*

Could This Be Him?

I’m not quite sure what time it is, but I’m now with my friends. We’re in a car, and I’m really not sure what kind of ride it is. The friends are giggling and laughing at the same time with their teasing stories while here I am, busy calling a friend on the phone.

“Mofy, andito na kami, bilisan mo na, come over fast.—Okay.. .okay… bye!” *pressed end call*

I am keeping hushed listening to my ladies---and sigh….. *looked at the driver’s seat* (in my head: What do I have here?? Oh dear…. I am so lucky!) *casting sheep’s eyes at the guy in front*

Is he truly mine? *heart throbbing* Oh my, look at those eyes…impeccably deep-seated with irises so seductively black. That nose (chuckles noiselessly)-- gorgeously sculpted by God. Hay Dios Meo! (Is this for real? This is a dream come true!)…. And then for a couple of seconds there, he noticed that I am gazing at him and he smiled. My heart now is racing, like galloping horses. My emotions are crashing like waves. He’s just too good to be true, but he’s in love with me and I am too.” I can feel bliss at this very moment, I know, I can tell.

*click* lights turned off and…… what??! It’s past 7 am already?! Sheez, I didn’t set the alarm. Darn! Yeah girl you’re dreaming alright!! I said to myself upon waking up. Who was that friggin’ guy anyway?? He was uber fly but I’m sure that I haven’t seen him yet.

From what I can summon up, he was wearing a plain white t-shirt and a baseball cap colored blue. He’s prolly in his mid-20s, like 25 or26.

I still can’t figure out the gist of that dream, but I definitely recall how deeply in love I was while dreaming about it. Now it makes me want to curse: S**t! lol

Wow hwhatta dream!! Anyway, I’ll just think of it as a positive sign. It could mean anything.*grin*

Fashion Basics 101

I don't know why I am now attempting to write this one down but since they titled me a "fashionista" during our prom, I think I have a little authority to give out some teeny tiny tips to people just having a hard time scavenging in their closet to find a nice outfit.

 

Look I'm not going to try giving you steps towards a major make-over. What I offer is a start. In any case, everybody has really got to start at some point.

 

So, let's get down to the real deal here,shall we?? 

 

Okay, for them ladies.... Remember: black and white are two vital colors. Whatever you wear, these two are gonna do well with them. Now what items am I exactly pointing at? Pants, blouse, and if you're a Muslim lady-- veil.

 

Lemme add this one: a pair of black sandals or pumps. 

 

Apart from those two clors mentioned earlier, we also have the color brown on the list.

 

These group of very basic items are especially useful during TRAVELS. Personally, I can say that wherever I go, you can expect that I have them in my luggage or in my bag. They're totally fashion-savers!

 

Speaking of bags-- whenever I go shopping, I often use a tote bag, particularly when it’s really shopping ‘til my wallet goes all cleared out.hee. They’re a major help to keep you from carrying all those huge paper bags (which are almost empty anyway) from shops. (Don’t lose your receipts though! Okay? You wouldn’t wanna be in trouble with mamang gwardya).

If you’ve got really cute tote bags, they’ll accent your outfit. I’m not advertising or what but I’ve seen must-buys in Puma and UCB (United Colors of Benetton). They’re so pretty that it’ll haunt your dreams if you don’t purchase one. 

 

To press on, one must-have is a pair of dainty slippers. It’s quite easy to spot one nowadays. Some of the brands we all see in malls or boutiques are Havaianas, Ipanema, Ghrenda, Crocs, etc. (Haha! Did I say I wasn’t advertising? lol. Well, really I’m not.) Now if you’re on a quite tensed budget, there’s Banana Peel, and Toeberries, they’ve got really really really cute designs. I like them personally. 

 

Slippers are very useful if you just want to go out to buy some grocery items or if you just want to go to the salon. Generally, they’re easily slipped on and you’re off to go.

 

Besides slippers, a pair of hip sneakers is of great use. I also would suggest a white or black sneaks, or any versatile color that can go with any wardrobe. (Converse™ maybe…  susssshhhh….heehee.)

 

Hmmm… what else??  Uh-oh.. the Vanity Kit.  Lemme not forget about it. It’s extremely important and essential for a chic to remain fresh all day long! What’s in a vanity kit depends on what you use for a re-touch or good hygiene. Basically, what I have in mine is a pressed powder, and a loose one (of course you won’t and don’t have to share your pressed one with anyone else but yourself). I also have a blusher and a lip gloss. It’s your choice what other paraphernalia you’ll stuff in it (e.g. eye shadows, a cologne, a brush or comb, and a leave-on as well). Also, never forget to give a li’l space for a tiny alcohol or a hand sanitizer. I as well bring along a pack of wet tissues, they’re really handy. J One little tip: I separate the liquid-based and the powder-based pieces. It’s neat that way.

 

Apologies dear gentlemen, I actually had this done for my girls out there, but I think I can give you some tips too. This is based on my own opinion on how I like a guy would present himself in any state of affairs.

 

To begin with—The shirt. A T-shirt is more like a basic fashion need of anyone of course, especially guys. I won’t suggest on designs ‘coz I ain’t the connoisseur on Men’s department but all I can opinionate about is the size. Find something that’s not too small and not too large. Shirts with collars are nicely seen if you’re wearing sneakers or shoes. At any rate, it’s your own creativity that presents you well with your shirt.

 

With the pants--still not the expert on this one but have on something that fits you well, and something made from good cloth. You’ve got plenty of trade names all over malls. I’m sure you’ll get a pair of jeans worth your money. In connection with this, I noticed that some guys keep wearing their shorts even when they’re not supposed to. It’s a huge no-no. Example, if you’re up to meet a girl please don’t wear ‘em shorts. Not unless you feel the highest possible degree of disinterest meeting up with her, and you intentionally want to look stupid in front of her, then by all means, go do that. Haha! On the other hand, short pants or khakis are dexterous items in their own ways.

 

Concerning the footwear, sneakers, a pair of black shoes, and a pair of sandals are a must-have for a guy.

 

Take Note: To wrap the whole outfit up… put on a real sexy scent. It’s like a cherry on top of scoops of ice cream. Ooh la-la!!! *wink* :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Dreamer

 

March 13,2009 at six thirty in the evening—it’s raining hard outside and the internet is just sucky tonight. My only company is Robin Spielberg’s “Beautiful Dreamer” playing. It calms my restless thoughts. Apart from prayers, these (piano) musical pieces has always unruffled my perturbed head.

Some may find me clichéd for being inclined to these serene tunes, however, I couldn’t care less. This pure art is mystical and close to nature. It’s like a channel that enables you to transcend from this reality. It carries you to a place where all your dreams come true and keeps you away from all the ugly circumstances in this world; exactly like when Aladdin took Jasmine on a magic carpet ride.

You might laugh at that cited scene, but it’s a reality that when we are so fed up with our nerve-racking jobs, and dreary lives, we just wish we could soar up above the clouds and be alone for even just a while.

It’s just too bad that Babylon Candles could not be bought anywhere.  If it was possible to have one, I would close my eyes, lit it up, and think of a dreamy river bank where I could lie down and just listen to the water flowing, or maybe up a hill and witness the glorious sun setting far beyond the horizon.

Oh, the rain is starting to halt a little bit, and this music’s been playing for almost thirty minutes already. LOL. What? Five brief paragraphs for thirty minutes? Jeez, I’d be damned! LOL. My professor would  kill me for a slow job such as this. =)

 

A favor my dear comrades: INSPIRE ME! =) elf_archer09
