ang buhay nga naman, hindi mo alam kung anong nais ipahiwatig. minsan ika'y pinapatawa. minsan ika'y pinapaiyak. minsan ika'y pinakakaba at lubos na pinababagabag. minsan ika'y pinupuri. minsan ika'y kinukutya. at minsan naman, ika'y nililito.
oo nakakalito ang buhay, hindi mo alam kung saan ka gustong dalhin. yun tipong gusto mong sabihan ng (in a whiny tone) "make up your mind!". ngayon sa bandang kanan ka itinutulak, ngunit bigla ka na lang ibabaling pakaliwa - at bigla kang dadausdos paibaba. kaya, ang kinalabasan? windang ka't hindi mo alam kung anong dapat mong gawin. LOST!
kung kelan ka di na umaasang makahanap ng bagong kaibigan o di kaya'y "potential partner", e bigla namang isa-isang nagpaparamdam ang mga inaakala mong deadma na sa iyo.
last year, i tried making new friends sa gym - primarily in the hope of finding a partner. pero obviously, lost. yung mga naglakas-loob na humingi ng number ko, nauwi lang sa "i'll call you when i get back" na lista lang pala sa tubig. so akala ko wala na. i gave up. deadma na kung deadma...
but just this past week. out of nowhere, e i had dinner with one of those guys - twice. and the other one suddenly called past midnight last night. tawagan ko raw sya kung may oras ako. weird. are these signs? meron bang guston ipahiwatig sa akin ang buhay? A EWAN! AYOKO NANG MAG-ISIP!!!

a very heart-warming movie that seems like a bore at first, but will eventually overwhelm you and make you very emotional. at the end of the movie, i cried. and i couldn't stop myself. iba sya. they're not tears of sadness. you just get overwhelmed with emotions.
but what struck me most about the movie was it's message - you've got to believe. believe in something, put your heart into it, and you're bound to realize it.
it's like a wake-up call for me. over the past few years, i've grown more and more jaded that i've ended up being negative. at times i put it under the guise of simply being pragmatic. but in reality, i was just plain pessimistic...
maybe it's high time i get this nudge. i've got to stop stressing myself out with thoughts of despair. as for the movie, it's a good watch - i just forgot to bring a box of tissue!
wandering thoughts: it's the first day of february...
it's the first day of february. time does fly. before you know it, it'll already be my birthday.
speaking of birthdays, a friend of mine from college - layla - just celebrated her birthday late last month. and guess what? she's now 8 weeks pregnant... congrats!
it's grammys day on valentine's. who am i rooting for? still don't know, i haven't really reviewed the nominations. all i know is that maroon 5 will open the show and queen latifah will host it. i'll definitely rush home on the 14th.
the weather's dead cold again in hk. as of this writing it's 10.3 degrees celsius where i live. a couple of days more to go and it'll be back to bearable cool weather - can't wait.
