there's one thing i've been praying for these past few days. and no, it's not a rescue package for my distressed love life.

i hope and pray that i won't change. that i'll remain true and grounded despite the good that has happend to me recently. that i won't turn into an ugly a**hole as some people who's had some success had become (i'm satisfied with being a bitch).

and although i may splurge on pricier clothes or go out for gimmicks regularly, i sincerely hope and pray that i'll continue to be the mark who feels insecure most of the time, who dances without music to beat stress, who prefers to eat at cheap chinese food at the canteen or cha-chan-tings (chinese carinderia), or get $8 socks at baleno, or head home to manila than travel anywhere else in the world.

fact is, whatever success i've been having won't be possible without the one up there and the people around me. and i owe it to everyone to remain who i am.

19 degrees

woke up this morning with a chill! no wonder it was freakin' 21 degrees!

yesterday afternoon, the hong kong observatory had forecasted temperatures today to drop to just 23 degrees. by the time i got home late last night (read, 230am), it became 22 degress. and when i woke up this morning it was down to 21 degrees...

...which meant it'll be around a couple of degrees lower at my area - 19+ degrees. add to that strong winds and living on a high 27th floor. and you've got a perfect formula for a nice chilly morning.

don't get me wrong. hangover aside, i love the cool weather - it would have been better if there was someone i could cuddle up in bed with...

news

receive an unexpected news today. really. i wasn't expecting it. i'm perfectly fine even if it didn't come. but it did. while i'm thrilled and happy about it, i'm also scared and paranoid. anyways, how it exactly affects me remains to be seen...
