Things have been looking up. Hopefully the rest of the year follows!

I feel like I’ve made a couple of really good decisions and I feel great!

Positivity all the way to my 19th birthday and maybe even to 2014. #whoo

i am that old swing set.

in the backyard,

old,

lonely

and sad.

i am that piece of paper,

with a little note scribbled on.

“coffee @ 2, see you”

(but it never happened)

i am that smile that used to adorn your face

i am childish laughter, i am a morning cartoon,

i am a box of lucky charms, i am an old sneaker,

…i am all the things you used to do,

games you used to play and

all the people you used to be friends with.

i…am now simply just a memory.

old,

lonely,

sad,

and forgotten.

It’s both comforting and sad to know how people don’t know you well enough, nor do they bother to try.

Comforting, because they don’t know enough about you to be able to use anything against you.

Sad, because that means you don’t matter enough, nor are you worth any effort.

And quite frankly, knowing that you don’t matter enough to the people who matter to you hurts.

Also, one of the worst feelings has probably got to be that of being expendable.

[ex·pend·able adj. /ɪkˈspɛndəbəl/

Expendable describes someone or something that is disposable or not necessary or important. (adjective)]

“I lie to make myself feel better.”

Don’t we all?

I for one, though I don’t lie per se, make myself believe in all sorts of shit. I delude myself with ideas that are either stupid, naive or just flat out impossible just so I don’t have to put up with all the crap reality has to offer.

Messed up, isn’t it? But then again, aren’t we all?

Friendship doesn’t solely rely on how long you’ve known somebody.

Hm. Maybe that’s just me. Welp, I’ll go on my way and do some shopping or something.

Dear world,

Please don’t end on the 21st.

I’ve been making lots of plans for 2013 and I’m quite excited about turning 19 and being more independent and probably visiting LA again and and and….doing a lot of stuff. So please, don’t end yet. I AM NOT PREPARED. =))))) And…I don’t like it when my plans don’t push through.

Sincerely and with lots of love,

DENISE.

Of school pride, bragging rights and the price to pay

It’s natural for Isko’s and Iska’s alike to be proud of the fact that they are what they are. It’s no secret and I’m no exemption. I find it weird though that when I look at myself a couple of months back, I never would have imagined that I would grow to love my school as much as I do.

Frankly, I didn’t even really want to go to UP. As unusual as that might sound, I really didn’t. I was all set on going to another university and taking up my double degree: AB in International Studies major in Japanese Studies & Bachelor of Science in Advertising Management. Dream course right there. But I guess it just wasn’t for me. The Universe apparently had other plans.

So now, here I am: isang PROUD TAMBAY NG PEYUPS. And yes, there is a certain degree of pride and bragging rights that goes with that. BUT there’s also a downside to it, at least for me.

In my generation, ~~(LOL)~~ I’m the only one who goes to UP. My parents, as well as the rest of my family, are very proud about it. Every time I get introduced to other people, they never fail to mention that I go to UP blah blah blah. As flattering and uplifting as it sounds, it does get pretty annoying too. Yes, I go to UP, but that doesn’t really make me any different from all other college students. That basically means that: I SCREW UP, GET BAD GRADES, CUT CLASSES AND DO OTHER CRAZY THINGS TOO. (Maybe even crazier than most college students considering the academic freedom we are given.) It doesn’t in any way mean that I am the perfect student.

That’s the downside.

UP is all about HONOR and EXCELLENCE. But we also have our fair share of terror professors, crazy exams and whatever else you can find in any other university. I think my family doesn’t really understand that. Hence, they have expectations that do nothing but to put me under a crazy amount of pressure.

Sometimes, I can’t say for sure if I’m willing to risk my sanity for the bragging rights and the school pride. But what else can I do? There’s no way but UP. ~~(All pun intended =)) LOL.)~~

Dear self,

Sometimes (or a lot of times), you do stupid things in front of the person you like.

It’s like that surge of emotions and feelings you get when you see that certain someone also eat up any remaining brain cells that you might still have and you end up making a complete fool out of yourself. Hooray! At least you’re not alone. Or at least I’d like to think that you aren’t. ~~(I mean, I could just be telling you this to make you feel less stupid about yourself and more socially acceptable. LELS.)~~

Anyway, the good thing about this is that yeah, you’re probably not alone. There are hundreds, maybe even millions, of other people who make complete fools out of themselves in front of the people they like.

What isn’t so good, at least on your part is that…well you’re in like with the wrong person. UGH. You and your life choices, self.

What sucks even more? YOU CAN’T REALLY DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. Life isn’t like Facebook, so you can’t like and unlike something or someone as you please. And you definitely can’t block someone out of your life either.

So yeah, self, live with it. You’ve already made a fool of yourself anyway, there’s no taking it back. Just save yourself from the unnecessary humiliation and….be more careful sometimes, okay?

Love, Me.

Of bad-days gone good, college and hangouts

Everyone’s been making such a big deal about the fact that today is 12.12.12 and of course, I couldn’t miss out on such a momentous occasion now, could I? So let’s start.

MY DAY? Well, it didn’t start out very well. I had one of those I-wish-I-never-found-out-about-this-shit moments that sorta just ruined my morning. And since today is a Wednesday, I had Math for my first period. And Math has never been my cup of tea so it was quite a drag.

I had PE next so I thought that was gonna be a turning point for my not-so-good day…but, NO. I really look forward to going to PE class just because of reasons but somehow I just kept on screwing up today and I also did something embarrassing/stupid. It was a STONE-ME-TO-DEATH-LET-THE-GROUND-SWALLOW-ME-UP kind of thing.

And as if my day wasn’t crappy enough I had an oral exam in Japanese class that went…horribly. So yeah, I’ve definitely had better days than this. WAY WAY better days. But things did turn out fine…eventually.

So, when I got home, one of my friends called me up and asked if I wanted to hang out. Since I didn’t have anything better to do ~~(except attend a photography workshop)~~, off I went. We met up with two awesome Japanese students (Masa-kun and Kenji-kun) and hung out at some Japanese cafe/resto. Suffice to say, my key-smash worthy not-so-good day turned out to be a not-so-bad day.

[Photo edited by: Me. xD But I just stole this from Masa-kun. :)) Hope he doesn’t mind.]

Cheers to a better half of the week!

I think...I like you...

Mon, 10 Dec 2012 20:44:55 +0800

“I think…I like you…” I trailed off.

I really do. I mean, I can’t help but look forward to certain days of the week because I know for sure that I’ll see you. And when I do, when my eyes finally settle on your white sneakers and blue (sometimes black) long socks, your PE shirt which looks exactly like mine, only bigger ~~(uniform, duh)~~, your black hair, your fair skin, your adorably chinky eyes…I-I just can’t help but feel.

Nervous, like on my first day of college.

Giddy, like right before I danced in front of a big crowd back in high school.

Happy, like when I aced that really tough English test.

Scared, like when I know I’m in trouble.

Butterflies in my tummy, sweaty palms, racing heartbeat, shallow and quick breaths.

It’s not everyday I get to feel so much from just seeing one person.

“I think…I like you…” I trailed off, in my head. Then I smiled and looked at you again. All from a far, knowing that there’s no chance in hell that we could ever be more that what we are, classmate.

Sun, 09 Dec 2012 16:27:33 +0800

I just realized, I really REALLY suck at showing people how much I care. I don’t text people often and my phone’s practically useless. I’m not one to be showy. I don’t even like physical contact too much.

But…I do care.

More than anyone could ever understand.

And I’m sorry for being such an ass sometimes…or most of the time.

…yeah.

I just felt like saying all that.

Of fears, irrationality and bullshit

It’s been a hectic week for me. COMM 3, ANTHRO 10, FIL 40, FUTSAL, MATH 1 and HAPON 12-13 ~~(and repeat).~~

It’s not even the work load I’m complaining about. I guess it’s just me. I know that I’m doing this to myself, putting too much pressure, expecting too much. And all I can say is….BULLSHIT.

There’s a part of me that’s happy cause finally, after spending 9 years or so of trying to develop good study habits and all that mumbo jumbo they teach in our homeroom class, I’ve finally figured out how to go about things. I get home, review my notes for the day, encode them, do homework, do advance reading, start working early on projects and papers. I’ve pretty much become the very definition of a nerd ~~(at least MY definition of nerd)~~. And it’s fulfilling as much as it’s sickening and disgusting. I mean, yeah, it’s really nice that I’m finally starting to be responsible and all that. But I can’t help but to think that I’m giving up too much of my life for my grades.

Is it irrational to be afraid of not meeting expectations?

Of disappointing my parents (especially my dad) even more?

Cause there’s a part of me that feels so responsible, so obligated to study and get good grades…but there’s also a part of me that just wants to make the most out of my university years and enjoy, be a normal teenager who gets drunk on weekends and parties even on school nights.

Sometimes, I can’t help but think about how messed up I can be. Geez. To put it simply: MINSAN HINDI KO ALAM KUNG SAAN KO ILULUGAR ANG SARILI KO. In English: BULLSHIT.

LECHE. Babalik na nga lang ako sa pag-aaral para sa exams next week.

““Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia. You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you’ll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.””
