Notes from a Plain Jane

Random Writings about anything
I went to church a while ago and its homily says "Learned from your 2009, welcome your 2010 with hopes". Actually i already have a plan to create this blog entry before 2010, but i got so busy on the last day of 2009 so i think its alright to make it now :)

What is 2009 for me?

Actually i think it WASNT a LUCKY YEAR for me, with all the personal, friendship and academe problems that i faced, i cant say that it was a good year. But i really cant say that it was a bad year because there are so many things that made me a better me, (if ever i become one).

To be honest, this is the only year as fas as i remembered that i face academe problem, ever since my younger days, this part of my life is the one I'm really proud of. I start going to school at the age of 3, finished my high school studies at 15 and soon to graduate at 18. Even though i didnt get any highest academe award, i do belong to the top of the class and top of the school. I didnt have any failed subjects and always graduates on time. But this year, something bad happened, me and my group mates got deferment, meaning we will not be able to graduate on time and extend one more term to finished the thesis, the good thing about it, it will never reflect on our college academic records. I dont know how many tears i and my friends shed for that unwanted event. That's also the first time i saw one of my friend/group mate cry, she is not the type to cry easily but that day, she silently cry while we are both in the chapel. Another sad thing about the deferment, our barkada was waiting outside, trusting and hoping that we will pass, but we didn't. That's the first time people wait outside for our group because they wanted to not just because they were the next group to defend. I remember i don't know how to face them and says we got deferment and a single shed of tears wasn't visible to my face. The deferment really gives pain to me and my friends, even our teachers got sad when they knew the result, most of them asked "what happened to the four of you". All of them expect that we will pass, even our own selves hopes that we will pass.

That's not the only sad thing happened, i ended a friendship with someone this year. I didnt think about it now a days but i think i need to include it here. That's the first time i ended friendship with someone and treat that friendship is a part of my stupidity. There's so much drama on this part and i don't want to elaborate it. Actually it wasn't the only friendship problem that i faced, there's one time that the cog family faced a lot of drama.There's a plan to leave the group because he don't want to break our council family. There's the silent treatment that trigger that plan.There's the also the time when we blame someone from the foursome and causes sometime to sulk, which i cant blame her because I'm guilty with that event.There was someone who collapsed for being chuperhero, and had an amnesia (lol). There was even a time when i don't want to talk to my best friend because i felt that she wasnt my best friend from before. I should also say that this year is my most emotional and stupid year that i ever experienced.

This year also let me experienced depression, that i became so fearful to do anything. I suddenly feel that i cant do anything right so its better if i wouldny do anything. I cry every night because of what had happen on thesis, i cried because its difficult for me to accept what had happen. I felt that i brought every one down, my family, my friends who had faith in me, my councilor, the NGO whom became the bridge for my scholarship. There was even a time when i don't want to go outside the house because everything's reminds me of past plans i build hoping that i will graduated this October, that didn't happen, the promises i made to myself. What had happen makes me lose my self confidence. I also became super sensitive regarding friendship, especially to my high school friends. Theres one time when i want to be with them and planned to asked them who i am way back in high school so that i can told myself to go back from that person. But maybe they think i am too strong or i am just being silly again, that's why they didn't notice that i feel bad. I didn't go to their home like the way im used to do because i suddenly felt that I'm tired wandering around just to say hi but they didn't do that to me.I decided not to share what i am experiencing to them nor say went to their homes and say hi. Theres a time when one of my high school friend told me that they feel bad because i didnt give time to them, I just snicker and let him thinks what he wants, but inside im being hurt. They didn't even wonder what's happening to my life, and they even feel bad towards me. I really what had happen to me that time. It seems that I'm really lost which i really am.

2009 was really a tough year for me, i became really emotional and stupid regarding my actions and my decision. But if i will think again, i couldnt say that it was a bad year for me, because this year helps me became a better person.

Before i faced those things, i knew before that they weren't easy, but i dont know how not easy they can be.

When i faced the deferment problem, i suddenly feel that our teachers really believed my group, they never even thinks we will have any problems. I feel happy inside because i realized that our teacher remember me and my friends in a good way. That day when i went home, i really cry really hard and dont know how to face my parents. When i told them the news, my mother got angry with me (who wouldnt) so after her speech, i ran to my bed and cry really hard. I didn't know my father follows me and he hugged me, he said that its okay and everyone else makes mistakes, its good that i experienced failure when i am not on the top of everything because at this early stage, i already experienced it and will give me another wise perspective. At that time, i really cried harder because that's the first time in almost 6 or 7 years my father console me again, and again i am his little girl. Even though i often got angry with him, i cant deny the fact that i missed the days when he used to console me because my mom got angry due to my spoiled antics. He even said that its okay, I've always been a good daugther for them ever since, and what had happen is part of life that i need to know to be a better person. He even explained that my mother wasnt angry with me, we both know that she's like that. After that little talk with my father, along with my sister who also hugged and console me. I was happy inside, because i know my family is always there for me, and for once i find again the father i do missed for years. It also felt funny when my mother defend my deferment to the people whom wondering why i wouldnt graduate on time.
Though i really feel bad about the deferment, it also nice to know that there are peoples who really believe me and thinks that i am strong. Experiencing it makes me realized that it wasnt really bad to get a not so good grades because the people whom love me really love me for who i am. I also understand now the feeling of being left out (graduation) which i am really curious before, though it's far from good, it wasnt really bad.

The deferment makes me also realized that i missed being at home, without being so busy. I am at home watching everyone doing their everyday routine, at home sitting in front of the computer doing nothing and leave every time i want. I suddenly realized that time for three years, i've been so busy with college life that i didnt notice that i am just at home physically but my mind is still busy. It feels refreshing to cook for them and wash dishes again, making house hold chores feels nice as well. With so much time on my hand, i realized that i do miss my family so much.

2009 makes me realized that its wasnt hard to end a friendship that wasn't worth of my time and effort. I learned to value myself more and thinks about my own sake. I shouldnt keep a one sided friendship because it wasnt a friendship anymore. I shouldnt trust to much because there are people who arent trustworthy. Actually, i also feel glad about 2009 because it shows me my bad sides that i acquire over the years. It makes me look on my past and realized that i really changed so much, some of them are good, and some of them are bad, which i want to change again. I also realized that people around you wont need you like the way you used to, but it doesn't mean they value you less. There are just time when they learned to be stronger and need to be alone. Like what one of the quotes i love, Trees are planted far from each other so they can grow and be mature.

Last year (2009), what really makes me happy is i found another family with the council. Though we really had fun on 2008, 2009 became the test year, and im so glad that they are with me when i am experiencing such bad luck. Actually i don't know how will i survive those events if i am not with them. If i am not laughing with them and being crazy, maybe up to now i am still depressed. They play a great role on my coping part. Actually they also taught me how to let go of my usual self. I am not that funny when i was on high school, i am talkative but never be as crazy as i am right now. The council taught me that it's really okay if you are being laugh at, its even funny if you laugh at your self. I learned that its okay to show who really i am because they show who really they are. Being with them makes me realized that i am still lucky because i still got them by my side. I also realized that looks can be deceiving. Even though one of the members looks like a goon, he is really a wise and mature guy that will tell you when you did something wrong. My mind became corrupted because of them aswell T_T haha. Because of the council, i learned to take things more lightly and i know that its better to be teased about something than keep everything in your self.

P.S. I also celebrate my debut this year and so happy when i got a small party for it!

I just remember last dec 28 when i read my 2010 astrological prediction ( i am a piecesian) that the year 2009 wasnt a lucky year for me, and actually it wasnt..haha T_T That time i really don't believe it because they always says that i am lucky, and i really believe that. But after what happened, i knew they (who ever makes the predictions) are right. But despite what had happen, i am happy that i've got the change to experience such troubles, because my perspective became wider XD

I hope that 2010 will be a lot better for me, and there are more adventures for my beloved council XD

*Ang haba haba nito, di ko na chineck ang grammar ko..hahahahaha*

Its been month since the last time i post something..waaaaaa...feeling ko nasasaktan na si multiply ko T.T promise mag post ako ng mga pic sayo!:D

Musta Christmas ko?

Ayun parang di pasko, im sure most of you feel it, parang di pasko, kundi ang ilaw at parang ang hirap ng buhay..buti pa last year at sana okay next year.

How did i spend my christmas? Nung morning, my family greets papa Jesus a very Happy Birthday, di pwd kalimutan yun:) then kain ng spaghetti! at ibang food sa mesa.

Nung afternoon, magkasama kami ni jona na nanonood ng full house (gandang celebration ng christmas) hanggang sa madatnan kami ni angela, ayun full house marathon na, kaya lang 2 ep lang kami, more than one hour each..kakainlab sila Hye Kyo at Rain X_X Crap, naalala ko nanaman na i despise Full house Filipino Version, Hindi sa ayaw ko sa local shows, gusto ko din naman kaya lang i really hate it when they remake something especially when it is something as cute as full house. Prang nabababoy eh...pero i cant do anything, madaming natutuwa eh, except people like me siguro..T_T andami naman kasi nating scrip writers na mamagaling gumawa ng kwento bakit di na lang ganun X_X (my rantings about remakes..sigh)

So ayun nanood kami, reminiscing the good highscholl full house days XD kakainlab promise o_O Then we watched Little Prince, iyakan time naman! cute cute ni Yong Woo, pero kakaiyak sya promise, By the way , The Little Prince by Saint Exupery is such a great book! XD bibili ako nun next year pero nabasa ko na sya..gusto ko lang ng copy ko X_X

Then napagdesisyunan na mag sleep over na lang sila angela at jona! so we spent christmas night together! HAppyXD


P.S> Wala ako kwenta magkwento hahaha!

I'm not gonna cry,
i promise myself not to cry,
i hate everything,
but i hate myself more

Everyday seems hallow..
and I'm just hiding behind my shadow

I feel stupid
i feel numb
i feel everything is out of place
yet i cant make any right

Everything seems too hallow..
and I'm still hiding behind my shadow

matagal na din from the last time i created this kind of blog, but i really cant help it, im so happy that i cant stop thinking of what had happened a moment ago.

Actually it wasnt something very special, Angela, Eumir, Albert and I spend an hour or two chitchatting before Eumir treat us to a midnight dinner? haha.

wala lang, yayaan lang, pero super saya ko na:P siguro i just missed walking at midnight with them. Its been a year or so from the last time we did it, and nakakamiss talaga sya. Abby and Eumir made fun of me and mostly Angela. Nakakatawa din yung pick up line exchange nila Mir at Abby. Its amusing how we all change, from silly and academic inclined talks to silly and humorous talks. Nakakamiss gumala sa gabi ng halos wala ng tao sa daan and we just talk and talk and talk, wala kaming pakiaalam like before. I really miss it rather than spending our time in front of computers doing out own thing.

Nga pala bago ko makalimutan, tatanong ko ulit kay gela yung 5 things na sinabi ni abby! haha..may kasalanan pa sakin yung mokong na yun:P

sa mga babasa nito, pasensya wala tong direksyon, masyado lang ako masaya! ahhaha:P i just want to freeze the memory:P and matagal tagal na rin from the time na umuwi ako ng madaling araw na naglalakad! haha:P

She can’t express what she feel while looking at the old familiar scene. The river is near with her. The grasses are still that high and dancing as Mr. Wind gave some blow. The sunset and sunrise are still nice to watch on this place. The changes aren’t that much. Her secret hide out is still a secret after all. A wide grin plastered on her face when her eyes landed on a familiar bench and a tree, after all that’s the reason why she’s here.

“Hey Arthur, it’s been a while.“She said before sitting on a bench in front of her.

“Sorry if I didn’t visit you for the past years. I went to the city to earn a degree in a nice university, and became very busy after a while. The city is so big and they are full of lights! There are plenty of people as well! If only I can take you there, I would! But we both know that I can’t pull you off and put you on my trunk.She chuckled on her own crazy idea

“Arthur, isn’t my dress so lovely? Mr. Wind loves it! See! He keeps dancing with the hem of my gown.” She said childishly

“I have something to tell you. I’m at a wedding exactly 2 hours ago. It is so fabulous! It’s a garden wedding and it’s being surrounded with flowers while the butterflies are freely roaming around. The harp, violin and the grand piano are creating a heavenly music.” She closed her eyes and a small smile form on her pouty lip.

“My parents, close friends and other significant people whom I know are in there too. Arthur, do you still remember the guy I used to tell you way back then? Yeah! That guy, my best friend which happened to be my dream guy. He is at the wedding too! He is so handsome wearing a suit. He even kissed me on the cheek before holding my hands”

She said in a dreamy voice before a tear drops on her face.

“I should be happy right now, I shouldn’t cry. I’ve been in my dream wedding with the guy I dream of as a groom. I should be happy with that, its all perfect…” Tears are now flowing on her face like it was raining.

But the thing is, I am not my sister..His bride…She said bitterly while letting her self cry her heart out. She’s tired of holding back this tear. She’s tired of hiding her broken heart with a set of her million dollar smile. She’s so tired…for the past two hours, she act as if everything is alright while she’s dying inside. She let herself cry a river for him again, on the same place with the same tree who only knew what’s inside of her.


A/N: I finished it the day before yesterday pero nitatamad ako magpost. ngaun ko lang naisip! ahha, kung may nilalang na binasa to at tatanungin ako bakit ko to naisip, ang sagot ko: "hindi ko din alam, basta nakatunganga lang ako at naisip ko magsulat ng nakakalungkot :))" At kung naisip nyong itanong bakit arthur, ang sagot ko: "Aba, pumasok lang sa isip ko ang Arthur's theme! haha" 
 

tagal ko na din di nag-update dito! haha:P naisip ko lang magpost ng walang kakwenta kwentang gawa ko, yung iba nasa livejournal ko, pag sinipag ipost ko din:P



I'm confused, I'm lost,
my soul and body are nowhere to be find,
I'm stupid and dumb,
my brain is now out of sight,
I hide and I shout,
my courage is fading out,
The reality bit me hard,
and slowly revealing the bare me keep hiding inside...

AN: ewan ko kung napost ko na to! haha..kahit na post ko na okay lang, nakita ko lang ulit!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


its been a while from that time
when i used to hold my pen and start to hide
finding a good spot to write
a poem written from the heart

its been a few years
3 and more than a half year to be exact
but why it feels like this?
like a King whose out of his thrown

AN: kanina ko lang nagawa:) (kabaliwan na naman)
