how does one get over a betrayal?
he fucks a girl. he continues to communicate with the girl. and he thinks she should just get over it after admitting and apologizing.
since when did cheating became okay?
um, uh yeah... men think it's okay to cheat as long as they're the one doing the deed.
who's dumb? dumber? dumbest?

if what society thinks of you affects you, then you better conform to their standard. if you get pissed off when people talk about you, then you better straighten your act. if you think you're right when people around you think otherwise, think it out. think it hard. think twice. get some counseling. or pray. pray hard for wisdom. it is definitely what you don't have right now.***
stupid. selfish. jaded.
bitch.

for a first world country, canada sucks at the beijing olympics. it took 8 days to win its first medal. good thing it's a gold. still, it's disappointing.

i am soooooo tired of the snow now. i can't take it anymore. this is just too much. enough is enough.
please snow, go away.***
i was just watching videos of ramiele on youtube like this and this when i came into this video about filipinos discussing about filipinos versus filipino-americans. or rather the filipinos raised in america versus those raised in the philippines. obviously, a division on the filipino community. very interesting.
some points raised:
. what does it mean to be a filipino?
. what is the essence of being a filipino?
. do you need to be able to speak tagalog to be called a genuine filipino?
. can't you claim to be a filipino because you can't speak in filipino?
my take? this is really complicated. it doesn't mean that just because we're filipinos that we could all naturally get along. my gawd! even families can't get along by themselves. although i agree that we tend to gravitate to our own race, personality still matters, whether you speak english with an accent or not. there are a lot of issues involved in this too. for one, most filipinos have this sir/mam status mentality. inconspicuously, that may be stopping us from co-existing without insecurities. another is the filipino pride. we have too much of it but are oftentimes misguided by it. this pride can lead us to look up on filipinos who speak fluent english, yet it can also lead us to look down on filipinos who speak english with the accent. these are only a few that i can think of right now.
this is a very complicated topic and we don't really need to argue. i myself can't pinpoint how i can define one's 'filipino-ness.' all i know is that it can not be on the color of your skin, or on how well you can speak tagalog, or on pakikisama, or utang na loob, or on respect of the elders, or on the close-knit family, yadda yadda. i just know i am.

P.S.
my friend just got into an accident while driving on the snow. good thing nobody was hurt and the car just got a dent. just one more reason to hate snow.
P.P.S.
i am a canadian citizen and a filipino citizen. but i am filipino.

on a stop light this afternoon, the driver and the passenger of the car in front of me kissed while waiting for the green light. i thought "why can't they just wait till they get home?" then i realised, cris and i also do the same kiss on a stop light often. and then i smiled and thought "what a romantic pair."
hehe. too fast to whine.
america's best dance crew
i am hooked with america's best dance crew!
my favourites:
Kaba Modern and JabbaWockeeZ
asians can hip and hop and pop and krump as hard just as any hardcore hiphop dancer!
as much as possible, i'd like to understand each person's eccentricities. but i'm gonna indulge myself to some whining and bashing right now.
Cluttered - with a capital C.
why are some people just plain messy - with their things, and well, same as their life. really. mind you, when you look at her, she looks so tidy and hygienic and all that. yet when you look at her room, it is so messy that even a snake would complain.
grrrr. damak. i hope a snake bites her so she'll wake up and clean up. no venom, k? i may be mean but i'm no evil.
still in shock
after 16 days, i still can't get over the fact that heath ledger is dead.
so young.

first look and W O W! i'm in love.
then you get down to the details and you get the real deal.
no user replaceable battery.
only 1 usb port.
no ethernet port.
no optical drive.
and you shed at least $1799 for not having these.
yes it is sexy. but that's all it is. form without the function.
indeed, it is the air. nothing but just air.
*can't wait to get my hands on my new baby.
i want...
a new notebook.
an ipod touch.
a new camera. any kind of canon camera.
a new look for my room. new paint. new bedframe. new side tables.
a tv in the living room. i know i shouldn't place one but i want to be sitting there in the morning while sipping coffee. and the only way for me to do that is to have a tv in there.
too many wants. and when i get them, i know i'd want new things of the same thing again after a year or two.
why can't i be contented with what i currently have?
sigh.
update!
we just ordered an xps m1330 last night. writing it, or wishing out loud truly helps!
now for the next item on the list...
nega
i want to blog. i do. but i can't think of a particular subject to blog. should i write about my life? what part of my life? or should i just whine and complain? nega naman. i want to write about something nice. my love life kaya. but i don't want to share it to people who don't know me. current events? nega pa rin. politics? di pwedeng politics in the philippines kasi super nega. canadian naman is boring. US politics is quite interesting right now with the presidential nominees race. then again, paki ko ba dun sa states? i don't live there. for now. ewan ko ba why i don't like to live in america. i mean the united states ha. the place is okay but the mindset is just so above and beyond that it annoys me. they think the world is america. they think they own the world and has the right meddle in anything. well, di naman silang lahat. but my boyfriend is one. sobrang bilib sa america. hmp. buti nga at down ang dollar nila ngayon. mirisi. sigh. see? pati ako naging nega na rin. tama na nga to.
