    <content type="html">As what the title says, telling the male of the species who is absolutely hell-bent on taking you out that you are lesbian WILL NOT stop him from pursuing your ass and pestering you day in and out.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; I had so many people call me, even at unholy hours of the night.&lt;br /&gt; I have had my old cellphone number for years now and I cannot remember all the people whom I have given this number to.&lt;br /&gt; Some people who managed to get my number have also passed it around like it was a bottle of ketchup on the picnic grounds.&lt;br /&gt; *Assholes!*&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; There are days that I am bombarded with text messages and calls that I no longer bother to check my cellphone immediately just to see who it was who called or texted.&lt;br /&gt; It just gets too annoying!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Now there are these guys who just don't understand the meaning of the word NO.&lt;br /&gt; Its really a simple word composed of two letters. Its one of the first words we hear and pronounce as babies.&lt;br /&gt; Yet the meaning of this word somehow just escapes the mind of the general populace.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Let us look at definition of said word in the &lt;a href="http://www.answers.com/no?ff=1"&gt;dictionary&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;i&gt;adv.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt; Used to express refusal, denial, disbelief, emphasis, or disagreement: &lt;i&gt;No, I'm not going. No, you're wrong.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Not at all; not by any degree. Often used with the comparative: &lt;i&gt;no better; no more.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Not: &lt;i&gt;whether or no.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt; &lt;i&gt;n.&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;pl.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;span class="kw"&gt;noes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;" class="pointer"&gt;&lt;span class="pron"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt; A negative response; a denial or refusal: &lt;i&gt;The proposal produced only noes.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; A negative vote or voter.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt; &lt;i&gt;interj.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt; Used to express strong refusal, doubt, or disbelief.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;[Middle English, from Old English &lt;span class="emon"&gt;nā&lt;/span&gt; : &lt;span class="emon"&gt;ne&lt;/span&gt;, not + &lt;span class="emon"&gt;ā&lt;/span&gt;, ever.]&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;span class="hw"&gt;no&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: blue;" class="pointer"&gt;&lt;span class="pron"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="cursor: pointer;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;i&gt;adj.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt; Not any; not one; not a: &lt;i&gt;No cookies are left.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Not at all; not close to being: &lt;i&gt;He is no child.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Hardly any: &lt;i&gt;got there in no time flat.&lt;/i&gt; See Usage Note at nor&lt;a href="http://www.answers.com/topic/nor-1" target="_top"&gt;&lt;span class="kw"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="ljcut" text="Read more..."&gt;See, its so simple yet why is it so complex to most?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; This guy has been asking me out for almost  a year now and I have refused so many times.&lt;br /&gt; So when I was out with my friend days ago, he kept calling and texting  me asking if we could just have a movie or dinner date.&lt;br /&gt; I don't meet with random people. I am also wary if a stranger keeps pestering me to go out and then offer to foot the bill. I just ask myself one question, what do they want in return?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; So this guy was calling and texting and my friend finally grew tired of it.&lt;br /&gt; She asked me, who the hell he was.&lt;br /&gt; So I told her the whole story and she said philosophically, "Just tell him you are into lesbians and you are out on a date with your lesbian lover. That should solve your problem"&lt;br /&gt; I was amused with her reply. I thought she was just kidding and going crazy.&lt;br /&gt; It sounded so crazy to me that it was something I thought might just work.&lt;br /&gt; I tried to reason and say "What if he calls just to verify?"&lt;br /&gt; She nonchalantly said,  "Don't worry I'm here I will be the one answering it."&lt;br /&gt; So out of desperation, curiosity and mischief I gave into the plan.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; One thing I have learned from that though is;&lt;br /&gt; One, there are just some people who refuse to take no for answer. *No brainer actually*&lt;br /&gt; Two, never take "philosophical" advice from someone who is loaded on mocha frappe and cheesecake. It does something to your brain and stomach. Seriously!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; We were still chuckling our hearts out when minutes later Mr. Can't-take-NO-for-an-answer called. He and my friend had a talk while I was cowering in embarrassment and amusement on the chair I was sitting on.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; He still keeps texting and calling me.&lt;br /&gt; But the only difference is, now he thinks I am a lesbian and the only reason why I won't go out with him is because well I am into girls.&lt;br /&gt; Yet, that *knowledge* does not stop this amorous one from trying.&lt;br /&gt; There is just no stopping a determined man, is there?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; P.S. I am not lesbian by the way. I am straight as a ruler. So don't have any other ideas now.&lt;/div&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">I just remembered why I abhor public transportation.&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday, my good friend Rae insisted we hang out and meet.&lt;br /&gt;I woke up quite late so I had to take a quick shower and catch up.&lt;br /&gt;Dressed lightning fast, didn't even bother to put make-up and all that jazz.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Confession time here and though it is embarrassing to admit, truth must be told.&lt;br /&gt;I cannot drive! Though I have the license for it. *That is another story*&lt;br /&gt;There I said it. Damnit! *Oh the relief*&lt;br /&gt;I am used to being driven around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I waited for a taxi, but hardly one ever shows up in our place.&lt;br /&gt;I still say I live in an isolated environment.&lt;br /&gt;So board the jeepney I must! &lt;img src="http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/2.gif" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was uber hot! Luckily, the jeepney wasn't cramped when I first bordered it.&lt;br /&gt;But it was soon filled with people.&lt;br /&gt;It was unfortunate because I was seated next to this guy with &lt;b&gt;terrible B.O.!!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="ljcut" text="Read more..."&gt;B.O. plus hot weather plus cramped space only equals disaster.&lt;br /&gt;I wanted to faint!&lt;br /&gt;Every time the jeep stops this guy would raise his hand and rest them on the hand rail.&lt;br /&gt;And oooooh the odor!!! Le gasp! Le choke! Le peeeeeeeeeee-UUUUU!&lt;br /&gt;I was about to ask him to put his hands down for the love of God, humanity and all things holy.&lt;br /&gt;Yet, I stopped myself and endured the stinky odor as best as I could.&lt;br /&gt;Telling myself "Don't worry we are almost at the stop, its nearing the mall."&lt;br /&gt;Yeah right! I was putting myself into this semi-state of hypnosis.&lt;br /&gt;I kept repeating that line for almost an hour.&lt;br /&gt;Dreading each stop the jeepney makes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally! I was able to reach the mall.&lt;br /&gt;I waited for Rae to show up. i kept texting her to please come over as quick as possible.&lt;br /&gt;I had something interesting to share.&lt;br /&gt;I lingered in the bookstore and waited.&lt;br /&gt;Looking at books, read a few pages of something which I found interesting.&lt;br /&gt;Opened magazines. *Thank heavens National Bookstore allows you to read some of their books.*&lt;br /&gt;Its amazing how time flies when you are doing something you like.&lt;br /&gt;But I really didn't enjoy my stay in that bookstore that much.&lt;br /&gt;There were sooo many books that I wished to buy. *I think half of their selection*&lt;br /&gt;From the classics to plays, poetry, political and historical books, then plain magazines.&lt;br /&gt;Oooohhh so many great books that I have envisioned to be in my library,  no money, no time to read them all. *Cruel are the fates*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I met Rae she told me she was waiting for me since 1-ish in the afternoon.&lt;br /&gt;I got there around 2-ish something. I told her blame the jeepney!&lt;br /&gt;It kept stopping to pick up passengers lol *Oh yes I act like an idiot at times* lol&lt;br /&gt;I immediately told her about my experience on that jeepney and some more.&lt;br /&gt;She understands me... So I need not further explain myself.&lt;br /&gt;We hanged out for some more time in the bookstore.&lt;br /&gt;She was looking at different cookbooks.&lt;br /&gt;While I was glancing and checking out some Anne Rice selections.&lt;br /&gt;We chatted and chatted like there was no tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;Laughing at a few odd selections that was in that store.&lt;br /&gt;i.e. A recipe book for microwave meals! *WTF!*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has been months since we last hooked up and eh I was missed. &lt;img src="http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/4.gif" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We talked and talked and talked some more.&lt;br /&gt;Then she said we'd just go to this coffee place she really likes.&lt;br /&gt;We could sit comfortably there and enjoy the place's ambience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been putting off the meeting for quite some time, because of "issues" that I need not elaborate.&lt;br /&gt;I was about to say "No" again when she asked me out for the upteenth time.&lt;br /&gt;But hell! Her statement that really caught me off guard was "Damn it biotch! I have been asking you out since last year. I now feel like a lesbian stalker here." &lt;img src="http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/24.gif" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*P.S. She's not lesbo. Not that there is anything wrong with that too.*&lt;br /&gt;Sorry if I made you feel that way Rae, but you know already. &lt;img src="http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/9.gif" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We went to Coffee Beanery and stayed there for almost 6hours!&lt;br /&gt;I am not into coffee but their's was good! So unlike that Starbucks shit! *heaven forbid*&lt;br /&gt;It can't compare to Seattle's Best either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The service was impeccable too.&lt;br /&gt;The waiters were kinda cute. *Must be because of the dim lighting that they have or my poor eyesight* &lt;img src="http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/21.gif" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the cakes they had were oooh-la-la!&lt;br /&gt;The cheesecake was to die for.&lt;br /&gt;I was stuffed with love, coffee mocha frappe, cheese and chocolate cakes!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for a great day Rae! It will be my turn soon. &lt;img src="http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/11.gif" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though I was off with a very bad, smelly start it was worth it.&lt;br /&gt;And oh yes, I will write about that prank we pulled. lol&lt;/div&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b94/ladyarcher85/for%20my%20blog/avatar.jpg" /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;One of my new online hobbies is to tinker with avatars.&lt;br /&gt;I have never liked playing with dolls as a kid.&lt;br /&gt;Having found no enjoyment in playing dress up. I preferred the boys games and toys.&lt;br /&gt;So this is the closest I am getting to actually playing with dolls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I noticed that Yahoo *MSN's rival and the site where I'm mostly on ahem* has uploaded a lot of new backgrounds and outfits to their custom options.&lt;br /&gt;One that caught my eye was the &lt;a href="http://whc.unesco.org/pg.cfm?cid=31&amp;amp;id_site=722"&gt;Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras,&lt;/a&gt; background and costume that they added, which I am currently sporting on my avatar by the way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Was I the only one feeling the irony of it? Was this some sort of a joke? Knowing very well what recently happened to &lt;a href="http://globalnation.inquirer.net/news/news/view_article.php?article_id=61325"&gt;Julia Campbell&lt;/a&gt; and how her untimely death here in the Philippines has impacted the country and given the place a bad reputation?&lt;br /&gt;My condolences goes out to the Campbell family. Julia has done so much for this country and she did not deserve any of it. Knowing well &lt;a href="http://juliainthephilippines.blogspot.com/"&gt;she loved the Filipino people with all her heart.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The news was all over the place. It got so bad that the tourism industry there plummeted to an all-time low.&lt;br /&gt;I asked myself if they purposely timed the release of this new background as a way of helping the country or mocking it by riding the waves of popularity it has generated, though badly as it was.&lt;br /&gt;Well, I could not find answers to those questions.&lt;br /&gt;And in fairness to Yahoo they did make it look so scenic and nice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was inspecting it with a giant magnifying glass the other day when Jed came in and saw what I was doing, he was "curious" to put it mildly, asking me what on earth I was up to.&lt;br /&gt;I told him to just shut up and help me spot a leg or arm sticking out in the background as a tell-tale sign of a bad portrayal of our country.&lt;br /&gt;He shook his head wearily, as if of pity. An indication that I have finally lost my mind.&lt;br /&gt;I stopped, told myself maybe he's right this time.&lt;br /&gt;But one must always keep an eye out for these sort of things, you see.&lt;br /&gt;And to conclude this little story, I didn't find any appendages or body parts in it.&lt;br /&gt;But then again I have terrible eyesight. So if you spot anything, buzz me!</content>

    <lj:music>Baby I'm Back == Akon</lj:music>
    <content type="html">Jesus H. Christ! I'm finally back and connected to the good ol' world wide web.&lt;br /&gt;My computer died two weeks ago and I was forced to be off the internet for a great number of days.&lt;br /&gt;Not having my computer access was like the worst for me.&lt;br /&gt;I felt like an addict who just needed that one shot of morphine or amphetamine to get me through the day.&lt;br /&gt;I was irritable and restless. I just had to do something.&lt;br /&gt;I realized how crappy my life was without my internet. How empty it felt without the brainy people i talk to on a regular basis. My brain was melting at room temperature for lack of activity and being idle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I read books though, I had to dig around for old books and other reading materials to fill the time.&lt;br /&gt;Finishing three novels in a week's time. I read non-stop, pausing only to eat, sleep and do other human things.&lt;br /&gt;I could always go out if I wanted to, but hell that means spending.&lt;br /&gt;And spending money which I currently don't have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You might be wondering what happened to my machine.&lt;br /&gt;The power supply went bust.&lt;br /&gt;I short-circuited my keyboard when I cleaned it.&lt;br /&gt;Please note: Using a kitchen knife to take out the keys and soaking them in water with a little detergent would short-circuit your keyboard when you put the keys back in without allowing it to completely dry.&lt;br /&gt;*I had to learn that the hard way*&lt;br /&gt;My OS needed to be re-installed.&lt;br /&gt;Then when I opened my pc the insides were in damn need of a good cleaning.&lt;br /&gt;So off I went to take it to the nearest computer and service shop.&lt;br /&gt;I have had this pc for almost two years and sad to admit, it has never been cleaned.&lt;br /&gt;I could practically grow a flower garden in there when I saw how thick the dirt was.&lt;br /&gt;Yes, I admit I have been neglecting this baby for a verrrrrrrrry long time.&lt;br /&gt;Please spare me your preachings. I have suffered enough already.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was an eye-opener too when I realized how much of my daily activities evolve around my computer.&lt;br /&gt;All my schedules, pictures, music, news and other informations I have obtained using my trusty pc.&lt;br /&gt;Another problem, I was stupid not to make any back-up files.&lt;br /&gt;So all my files. EVERYTHING!!! Was deleted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wanted to bang my head against our concrete wall til it bled out of sheer frustration.&lt;br /&gt;But then I stopped myself knowing very well that doing such an exercise would be fruitless and unwise.&lt;br /&gt;*I still have a little sense in me, thank you*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm finally back! Get used to it!</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Many movies these days have sequels.&lt;br /&gt; Not to mention many of these said movies have poorly constructed plots and lines to begin with.&lt;br /&gt; They always leave the viewers dying for more. And just when its at the peak of suspense...&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; ITS ALL OVER!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; You are left there in the movie theater, wanting for more.&lt;br /&gt; Like a crazed heroin addict you imagine things, dialogues, situations, future characters that they may add/cut off in the next installment of the movie.&lt;br /&gt; You go home feeling empty. Not getting that satisfaction you were looking for before you watched the movie.&lt;br /&gt; Its always the unresolved endings that robs you of sleep!&lt;br /&gt; What coulds, what ifs, whens, and how-it-will-end questions bugging you in the middle of the night as you lie in bed, dreaming.&lt;br /&gt; This is a movie-goers ultimate nightmare!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="ljcut" text="Read more..."&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt; I say it is unfair for these movie companies to do so.&lt;br /&gt; But, the main reason why they do these things is to see how well the public might respond to it.&lt;br /&gt; If it does good, they then promise to release the sequel to it in a year or two.&lt;br /&gt; Promising a better story-line, more suspense, action, drama, graphics, special effects basically the whole package thing.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Then, come the highly anticipated sequel... They do it AGAIN!&lt;br /&gt; And then the cycle is repeated, over.&lt;br /&gt; F**K THEM!&lt;br /&gt; I'm tired of it, it's already so predictable.&lt;br /&gt; But, I find myself marching to the movie house once again.&lt;br /&gt; Armed with my popcorn and other snacks to watch it.&lt;br /&gt; I simply do not learn, for my curiosity always gets the better of me, sadly.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Thank god for us they have imposed a limit on themselves as to how many sequels they will go though.&lt;br /&gt; Yeay!!!&lt;br /&gt; The usual magic number is 3. *Though some go for more*&lt;br /&gt; They say all things come in 3's and so far, this cliche has also applied to the movies.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; There are those rare occasions though where I welcome a sequel.&lt;br /&gt; Simply because the first stories that came out were indeed uber good!&lt;br /&gt; Take for example Shrek.&lt;br /&gt; I remember the first two movies oh so well.&lt;br /&gt; I could still laugh my ass off watching them.&lt;br /&gt; It has captured my imagination, filled my craving for cute, colorful scenes, tickled my funny bone and brought to life a few fairy-tale characters I have come to love while growing up as a child.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Now, they plan to release another Shrek! Hoooray for me!&lt;br /&gt; I have seen the trailer and like its predecessors this one promises good ol' family fun and witty jokes, funny skits and great comedy.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;I have found the trailer in &lt;a href="http://youtube.com"&gt;YouTube&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, click, watch and let it take you to the magical &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;st1:placetype&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;kingdom&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt; of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:placename&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Far&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:placename&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;, Far Away, where you can be green and still be a princess or prince. *smiles*a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;center&gt;&lt;lj-embed id="1" /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">For some reason I woke up with the thought of chocolate and other tasty treats in mind.&lt;br /&gt;I must have been dreaming I was in Willie Wonka's factory or something similar to it and I just had to hush the nagging voice whispering in the back of my mind saying "chocolate, chocolate, chooooooocolate..." that sounded like one of the zombies in Resident Evil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, I had a bar of&lt;a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/asylum4dsane/pic/00004sbh/"&gt;&lt;img width="223" height="142" border="0" alt="" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/asylum4dsane/pic/00004sbh" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; right beside me.&lt;br /&gt;As I was munching on this tasty treat, I came across this very &lt;b&gt;disgusting&lt;/b&gt; post.&lt;br /&gt;I was so repulsed by it that I gasped out loud!&lt;br /&gt;Its definitely a &lt;a href="http://www.pimpthatsnack.com/project.php?projectID=333"&gt;chocoholics fantasy come true.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was just disgusted with it, simply because how dare these people make such a chocolate wonder without giving me some! waaaaaaaaaaah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suddenly, this Toblerone doesn't taste so good. I want to sink my teeth into that candy goodness so bad.&lt;br /&gt;Its full of calories, artificial flavors, sugar that could give you diabetes and other things that are &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;bad &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;for your body.&lt;br /&gt;But who the hell cares!?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If ever you'd conked off minutes after you stuff your mouth with that thing, I say it is truly one of the &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;sweetest&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; ways to die. lol</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;My room is another universe where I go to and retreat especially when the world is just being so damn unbearable.&lt;br /&gt; Its like a black hole, sucking objects in.&lt;br /&gt; I've had many things "disappear".&lt;br /&gt; Then, like some sort of magic *poof!* things appear randomly when you least expect it.&lt;br /&gt; I certainly will not say it is messy, for its NOT!&lt;br /&gt; I have this ability to tell where my stuffs are despite the unorganized way of which things are laid about.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Summer's here, the heat is intense!&lt;br /&gt; Looking for a way to cool down that is easy on the pocket.&lt;br /&gt; The best thing to do is of course... Spring Cleaning!&lt;br /&gt; It makes you sweat, leaving your body cool while you get to take out the clutter that has accumulated over the previous year/s.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                        &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I came across my old journal as I was rummaging through my closet and drawers.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reading it again, I was transported to another time.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I couldn’t help but laugh at some entries.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asking myself, who is this person that wrote these all down?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The things written certainly ringed a bell and brought back memories but it seems it was written by a completely different person.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I kept asking myself, “Was that really me back then?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has unleashed memories, monsters past, pains gone through.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And just my luck!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I was reading my old journals, suddenly, sentimental love songs bursts forth from our neighbor’s sound system.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was crying like a freakin’ idiot for almost an hour.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talk about purgation of the soul!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;      &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;It felt oddly good though to be reminded of these things, after of course a few buckets of tears shed. lol&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking at the mirror now, I wouldn’t be the person I am today, if not for the things that &lt;i style=""&gt;that&lt;/i&gt; girl has gone through.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">Geeeeeeeeeesus!&lt;br /&gt;What the hell happened to the Filipino shows?!?!&lt;br /&gt;Everything is so trashy!&lt;br /&gt;I seldom tune into local networks now and looking at local channels again I again realize why I almost abandoned watching TV.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the shows are crap!&lt;br /&gt;And thats putting it rather mildly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have categorized all the shows in prime time into 3, not counting the NEWS of course.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) The cheesy dramas/soap operas/koreanovels&lt;br /&gt;Good lord please spare the young filipino masses!&lt;br /&gt;Its always the same story over and over and over again!&lt;br /&gt;Poor girl and her family is abused.&lt;br /&gt;Poor girl decides to fight back&lt;br /&gt;Poor girl gets job&lt;br /&gt;Poor girl gets successful&lt;br /&gt;Poor girl is always pretty&lt;br /&gt;Poor girl gets rich boy of abusive rich family to fall in love with her&lt;br /&gt;Rich boy already has vile, malevolent girlfriend&lt;br /&gt;Vile, malevolent girlfriend schemes with rich boy's family to break the relationship apart&lt;br /&gt;Vile, malevolent girlfriend and abusive family never succeeds&lt;br /&gt;Vile malevolent girl friend and abusive family becomes poor&lt;br /&gt;Poor girl becomes rich and helps rich boy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And with other plots either the bad guys die and they all live happily ever after&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blah!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2)Fantaserye/magic&lt;br /&gt;The story again is poor and lame&lt;br /&gt;The special effects horrendous&lt;br /&gt;And did I say the story is poor and lame?&lt;br /&gt;Oh yes I did! &lt;br /&gt;Never thought provoking...

    <content type="html">&lt;a href="http://www.physorg.com/news93360534.html"&gt;A Chinese company has been banned from selling plots of land on the moon, state media reported on Saturday. The company, Lunar Embassy to China, had sold a total of 49 acres (20 hectares) to 34 customers before authorities acted, Xinhua news agency said... Click here to read more!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My insomnia kicked in again and I just couldn't sleep.&lt;br /&gt;As I was surfing for interesting reads and other whatnots on the internet, the very title of this article immediately caught my attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is pretty ballsy for the said Chinese to sell plots of land on the Moon!!!&lt;br /&gt;The son/s of a bitch pretty much thinks they own it!&lt;br /&gt;Some people just really have a fucked up sense of entitlement to things that they even have the audacity to claim something that is so un-ownable *for lack of the right word and a better term* like the moon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then again, this particular move did not surprise me.&lt;br /&gt;The Chinese have been claiming things that are not theirs for a long time now.&lt;br /&gt;e.g. Part of the Spratly Islands that have been declared to the Philippines' property.&lt;br /&gt;Taiwan, an already established independent country.&lt;br /&gt;The forcibly taking of Tibet.&lt;br /&gt;And probably a lot more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the moon!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The balls and nerve I say!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another question that popped to mind was,&lt;br /&gt;Who the hell were the stupid fucks who bought the said plots of land?&lt;br /&gt;What exactly did they think?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Idiot 1: Yo man! Like I bought this rad real estate the other day. I'm sure you have seen it many times before but the thought of owning it never crossed your mind, well I broke my Buddha piggy bank and pooled all my yuans and finally I was able to purchase a small plot of land on the moon.&lt;br /&gt;Idiot 2: Wow like word!&lt;br /&gt;Idiot 1: Well the guy said that whoever looks up and dares look at my property, I can sue them for illegal trespassing or something.&lt;br /&gt;I really don't have any means of getting there though and check.&lt;br /&gt;ROFLMAO!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wonder what kind of line they used to lure these idiots into buying said lots.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh well! They are idiots anyway so I'm not surprised also.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wonder why it took 34 incidents to happen first before the Chinese government stepped in and ordered the ban?&lt;br /&gt;Such idiots indeed!</content>

    <content type="html">The blogging phenomena has taken the world by storm I must say.&lt;br /&gt;Almost everyone has an online blog, journal etc and LJ is one of the best examples of sites dedicated to hosting different people's blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With a blog, you are given room to express your thoughts, ideas, grievances, opinions and other whatnots not just for your friends to see, but the rest of the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Freedom of speech has been taken to the next level.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is why I was seething mad when I read this news article.&lt;br /&gt;You will know why, if you read this article.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ALEXANDRIA, Egypt (Reuters) - An Alexandria court convicted an Egyptian blogger Thursday for insulting both Islam and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and sentenced him to four years in jail over his writings on the Internet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abdel Karim Suleiman, a 22-year-old former law student who has been in custody since November, was the first blogger to stand trial in Egypt for his Internet writings. He was convicted in connection with eight articles he wrote since 2004.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rights groups and opposition bloggers have watched Suleiman's case closely, and said they feared a conviction could set a legal precedent limiting Internet freedom in Egypt, the Arab world's most populous country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The London-based rights group Amnesty International said in a statement: "This is yet another slap in the face of freedom of expression in Egypt." The group considers Suleiman to be a prisoner of conscience, jailed solely for peacefully expressing his opinion, the statement added.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Paris-based press freedom organization Reporters Without Borders said the sentence was "a disgrace" and the United Nations should respond by disqualifying Egypt from hosting an Internet Governance Forum in 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It is time the international community took a stand on Egypt's repeated violations of press freedom and the rights of Internet users," a statement added.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Washington, State Department spokesman Tom Casey also criticized the verdict, telling reporters that Washington was "very concerned" about Suleiman's conviction and sentencing and regarded freedom of speech as a basic human right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MAJOR FORUM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A fellow blogger who runs the "Rantings of a Sandmonkey" blog&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(&lt;a href="http://sandmonkey.org/"&gt;http://sandmonkey.org/&lt;/a&gt;) said: "It's a dangerous precedent because it will impact the only free space available now, which is the Internet. The charges were undefined and vague."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Tell me. What does insulting the president mean? What is the difference between criticizing religion and being in contempt of religion?" he added, asking to remain anonymous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Internet has emerged as a major forum for critics of the Egyptian government to express their views in a country where the state runs large newspapers and main television stations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While Suleiman was the first blogger to go on trial for the content of his writings, other opposition bloggers have been arrested periodically during street protests and then held for weeks or months before being released.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suleiman, a Muslim and a liberal, has not denied writing the articles but said they merely represented his own views. His lawyers said they planned to appeal the verdict, and one member of the defense team described the trial as unfair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of Suleiman's articles said that al-Azhar in Cairo, one of the most prominent seats of Sunni Muslim learning, was promoting extreme ideas. Another article, headlined "The Naked Truth of Islam as I Saw it," accused Muslims of savagery during clashes between Muslims and Christians in Alexandria in 2005.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has also described some of the companions of the Muslim prophet Mohammad as "terrorists," and has likened Mubarak to dictatorial pharaohs who ruled ancient Egypt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I was hoping that he would get a harsher sentence because he presented to the world a bad image of Egypt. There are things that one should not talk about, like religion and politics. He should have got a 10-year sentence," said lawyer Nizar Habib, who attended the trial as a member of the public.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yahoo news link&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Somebody who lives in that country, went to school in that very institution and knew exactly what is the present situation of his people decided to post a blog entry sharing his sentiments with fellow Egyptians and probably others around the world was sentenced to four years of prison just because he had the balls to air out his own PERSONAL OPINION!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers to all those who say otherwise. You have once again silenced a person from speaking his mind and dare calling yourselves "open" to things and criticisms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;""I was hoping that he would get a harsher sentence because he presented to the world a bad image of Egypt. There are things that one should not talk about, like religion and politics. He should have got a 10-year sentence," said lawyer Nizar Habib, who attended the trial as a member of the public."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all let me just say this...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fuck you Nizar Habib!!! You filthy low-life hypocrite!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He didn't insult ISLAM. Just an institution and a leader of a nation.&lt;br /&gt;And why would you silence someone who wants to talk about religions and politics?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can't someone voice his grievances and opinions in a system that is so backward and run by an aging dictator that is really a megalomaniac?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By posting this blog entry I wonder what my jail term would be...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bring it on you bitches!&lt;br /&gt;The problem with the world today is that everything has to be politically correct.&lt;br /&gt;Ever heard of the fable of the father, the son and the ass?&lt;br /&gt;Moral of that story is, YOU CAN'T PLEASE EVERYBODY!&lt;br /&gt;Whatever you do or say, someone would always stand up and complain and feel they were insulted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So fuck them all!

    <content type="html">I was reading some news articles online when I chanced upon this article.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://community.gaiam.com/gaiam/p/HowtoBeGreenintheAfterlife.html"&gt; Green Burial &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do not like to think of myself as an environmentalist freak but I do deeply care about the environment.&lt;br /&gt;As much as possible, I want the people to practice recycling and saving on electricity knowing very well that there are some shortages of precious metals and coals that power our lights especially here in Cebu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was very happy when I read this article.&lt;br /&gt;Seeing the concrete structures in the cemeteries for me is such an eye-sore!&lt;br /&gt;I often go to the cemetery to visit the remains of my father.&lt;br /&gt;And seeing all the structures blocking the view and piling high of bodies *in my imagination*&lt;br /&gt;is not only irritating but environmentally a waste.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lot of area is needed to create cemeteries and as far as I know there is already a shortage for it.&lt;br /&gt;Of course, if you are filthy rich you can always opt for the more opulent memorial parks here, but getting a unit there is like buying a brand new house!&lt;br /&gt;I should know, I checked!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is really funny how many Filipinos still find the subject of death as taboo.&lt;br /&gt;Many people still do not want to prepare for it and purchase memorial lots simply because of that old superstitious belief that by doing so, we are inviting our own death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A green burial would be a solution to most problems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It helps the environment.&lt;br /&gt;It is way cheaper.&lt;br /&gt;Its more aesthetically pleasing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Death is inevitable.&lt;br /&gt;We should not fear it and more logically, we should prepare for it.&lt;br /&gt;So that our loved ones that would be left behind won't have a tougher time looking for a cranny where to bury our body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://community.gaiam.com/gaiam/p/HowtoBeGreenintheAfterlife.html"&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="http://digg.com/environment/Why_Your_Death_is_Bad_for_the_Environment"&gt;digg story&lt;/a&gt;</content>

    <lj:music>Sexy, Naughty, BItchy by Tata Young</lj:music>
    <content type="html">Was out with friends the other night. It's those rare occassions when I finally have some free time to spare.&lt;br /&gt;Talking and catching up on what's the latest was of course top priority, then after a round of mocha lattes, the talk suddenly turned green. *That's just how us girls roll okay*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the course of the conversation, our topic turned to guys and new trends.&lt;br /&gt;One of my friends said, that somehow it has become a "trend" of some sort seeing cute, "emo" guys kissing another male! And "they" say it shouldn't be looked down upon for it is just another way of expressing one's self without really being homosexual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We all burst out laughing...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First off, let me just point out that in our little bunch we don't have any problems with homosexuality or whatever else. We just don't give a fook what it is that you claim your sexual orientation to be.&lt;br /&gt;All we want is straightforwardness and sincerity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, at this point I couldn't help but blurt out, WTF!?!&lt;br /&gt;When a guy kisses another guy passionately, I don't care what the hell anyone says but that to me is homo or bi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't give me B.S. reasons trying to mask that darn fact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We all shared the same sentiments though.&lt;br /&gt;A loooooooooooot of cute men are now either gay or bi.&lt;br /&gt;And the straight ones are just butt ugly slobs, well most of them anyway and the good ones are all taken.&lt;br /&gt;*sigh*</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;b&gt;&lt;center&gt;The Personality Defect Test&lt;br /&gt;Robot&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are 71% Rational, 14% Extroverted, 14% Brutal, and 0% Arrogant.&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are the Robot! You are characterized by your rationality. In fact, this is really ALL you are characterized by. Like a cold, heartless machine, you are so logical and unemotional that you scarcely seem human. For instance, you are very humble and don't bother thinking of your own interests, you are very gentle and lack emotion, and you are also very introverted and introspective. You may have noticed that these traits are just as applicable to your laptop as they are to a human being. You are not like the robots they show in the movies. Movie robots are make-believe, because they always get all personable and likeable after being struck by lightning, or they are cold, cruel killing machines. In all reality, though, you are much more boring than all that. Real robots just sit there, doing their stupid jobs, and doing little else. If you get struck by lightning, you won't develop a winning personality and heart of gold. (Robots don't have hearts, silly, and if they did, they would probably be made of steel, not gold.) You also won't be likely to terrorize humanity by becoming an ultra-violent killing machine sent into the past to kill the mother of a child who will lead a rebellion against machines, because that movie was dumb as hell, and because real robots don't kill--they horribly maim at best, and they don't even do that on purpose. Real robots are boringly kind and all too rarely try to kill people. In all my years, my laptop has only attacked me once, and that was only because my brother threw it at me. In short, your personality defect is that you don't really HAVE a personality. You are one of those annoying, super-logical people that never gets upset or flustered. Unless, of course, you short circuit. Or if someone throws a pie at you. Pies sure are delicious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was just taking this personality defect analysis test online the other day and the overall results pretty much said that I’m an unemotional, unfeeling, cold-hearted *or no heart at all* robot!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, at first I really didn’t mind and just chuckled at it but somehow I stopped giggling and finally reflected on it for a minute.&lt;br /&gt;What were my answers to those questions that somehow gave me that kind of result?&lt;br /&gt;Am I that really that emotionally unattached, that somehow they say I have the emotional attachment of a laptop or computer?&lt;br /&gt;Good Lord!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have often joked that it is better by far to be a nihilist than to be very emotional.&lt;br /&gt;But I realize extremes are always a bad thing.&lt;br /&gt;Its not like I don’t feel anything at all. I do feel hurt, pain, suffering, joy, sadness and all those other human emotions. Its just that I have made a decision that I won’t express them too much to the world for I see no reason for it.&lt;br /&gt;Always keep the firm upper lip, I always say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wonder if this explains the fact that I have been getting lines like these in my chats.&lt;br /&gt;“You are such a snob!”&lt;br /&gt;“Why are you such a bitch?”&lt;br /&gt;“Are you always that hard?”&lt;br /&gt;“Ele, what can I do to get to you?”&lt;br /&gt;“You seem so cold.”&lt;br /&gt;“What did I do wrong this time? You are quiet.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First off I do not wish to think of myself as a SNOB!&lt;br /&gt;I do not pm anyone first because whenever I log in and already see them online, they are most probably already talking to somebody else and I do not wish to intrude.&lt;br /&gt;Most of them have the status set to “Away” or “Busy”.&lt;br /&gt;If a person would want to talk to me, they would just message me themselves because whenever I decide to log in, that indicates that I wish to have conversation with anybody.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I do not want to be bothered, you won’t see my arse online!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why am I such a bitch? I don’t think I’m one so better tell me what made you say so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’m not always hard, I’m just quiet most of the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hate it when I constantly have to repeat myself.&lt;br /&gt;I also hate it when people start acting cocky!&lt;br /&gt;I am not good in opening up and sharing my past and all that kind of stuffs.&lt;br /&gt;I tend to slowly warm up to a person over time.&lt;br /&gt;I hate it when I am talking to someone and they are not really listening.&lt;br /&gt;They hear but they do not LISTEN! Hence, I just drop out of the conversation and be silent.&lt;br /&gt;If they want to talk again, they will buzz, nudge or send a message again..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is just me! And the bad news darling, I am not about to change anytime soon…</content>

    <content type="html">About two saturdays ago I was priviledged enough to finally watch The Devil Wears Prada together with Beryl, who is my classmate in PE.&lt;br /&gt;Funny thing is, though we have been seeing each other every saturday morning coz of our class, I barely knew who this girl was.&lt;br /&gt;We chat, exchange jokes, kid around during class but other than that we hardly keep in touch. *Due to a lot of factors, our schedules being one*&lt;br /&gt;But whenever we are together seems like we are like sisters.&lt;br /&gt;Discussing and being interested in the same things.&lt;br /&gt;We have so many things in common we even share the same birthday for goodness sake! *creepy!*&lt;br /&gt;A lot of things happened...&lt;br /&gt;After our PE class we immediately headed for the mall, bought our tickets just to find out that the damn theater won't open til 12:20pm *that dampened our enthusiasm a bit*&lt;br /&gt;But we were not disheartened that easily.&lt;br /&gt;We decided to have lunch first and feed our pet parasites holding a rally in our stomachs. *don't barf*&lt;br /&gt;I was about to head to my fave resto but Beryl had the nerve and guts to ask me if I want to eat Japanese food *which I used to detest by the way, it being uncooked*&lt;br /&gt;Well, I'm not a partypooper. Besides, I have never tested Japanese food before *didn't have the guts to*&lt;br /&gt;After "minutes" of persuading, coercing and sweet-talking me, I finally decided to give it a try.&lt;br /&gt;*just to make her hush for one lol*&lt;br /&gt;We ordered some mixed sushi and sashimi *Of all things!*&lt;br /&gt;I only had tempura in mind...&lt;br /&gt;We chatted as we waited for our food to be served.&lt;br /&gt;When it arrived, it came in these little boat-like plates beautifully arranged.&lt;br /&gt;Awwwwwwwwww, it looked so pretty and colorful that we just had to take a picture.&lt;br /&gt;*I always bring my cam with me*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I finally took my first bite off an uncooked fish, just to find out it wasn't so bad and disgusting after all...&lt;br /&gt;hehehehe&lt;br /&gt;I tried everything and I was so happy that I didn't die due to food poisoning because I was eating two plates of uncooked fish and other things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kidding aside, I liked the food. I left that resto feeling full yet without the bloatedness which we usually experience when we eat fatty, greasy meals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since they do not have special policies of allowing two cute females in early.&lt;br /&gt;My twin Beryl and I then decided to go window shopping. *to make use of precious time of course*&lt;br /&gt;I found out, that we don't only share birthdays, we even share the same shoe size! *double creepy!*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The theater finally opened and we were there just in time.&lt;br /&gt;Meryl was great!!!&lt;br /&gt;She was indeed the devil incarnate... Well as a boss anyway. lol&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll remember that Saturday for a long, long time!</content>
