My Not-So-Secret Love Affair with Shoes

In my relentless pursuit to find good buys online, i came across one of my contact's site & voila! i found eye-candies in the name of SHOES! Happyness!!! I immediately sent her a private message to inquire if they customize shoes & have been quick to add that if they do, i would order in all the colors available for the specific design i love. I have been through numerous trips to Janylin, SO FAB! and B Club just to check if they have the shoes i wanted. Sometimes they do, unfortunately, the heels would definitely kill me if i come strutting in them. Sigh.

So now, as i await my contact's reply, i am seriously hoping that she is the heaven-sent, the one shoemaker that i am looking for :)

1 A.M.

It's past 1 a.m. & i am still wide awake. Perhaps i should just indulge in my OC-ness again--tweak some of my sites and post the videos of Creed. Yeah, that'll seem worthwhile. Those videos gave us a good laugh :)

For a dose of that laughter (& more of my adorable son), click here.

I'm on a Roll!

It's been more than a year since i have updated this blog. And today i was on a roll! Updating all my sites here & there, basically beautifying everything (not to mention obsessing on doing so) but it's all good. It suits me just perfect to do such since i'm still on vacation and would not start on my new work again until Monday and this has been some sort of a de-stressing activity for me for the past what, two weeks?yeah, it has been that long.

I do hope i can make time everyday to write on my online journals, as i am usually very lazy to do so. I wish blogspot also has the same feature as FB wherein my multiply journal is automatically imported to it. Imma rejoice big time when that happens.

For now, i'd stick to writing my journals here, religiously (hopefully).

No More I Love You's

I used to be lunatic from the gracious days

I used to be woebegone and so restless nights
My aching heart would bleed for you to see
Oh but now...
(I don't find myself bouncing home whistling buttonhole tunes to make me cry)

No more "I love you's"
The language is leaving me
No more "I love you's"
Changes are shifting outside the word
(The lover speaks about the monsters)

I used to have demons in my room at night
Desire, despair, desire... sooo many monsters!
Oh but now...
(I don't find myself bouncing home whistling buttonhole tunes to make me cry)

No more "I love you's"
The language is leaving me
No more "I love you's"
The language is leaving me in silence
No more "I love you's"
Changes are shifting outside the word

(They were being really crazy
They were on the come.
And you know what mummy?
Everybody was being really crazy.
Uh huh. The monsters are crazy.
There are monsters outside.)

No more "I love you's"
The language is leaving me
No more "I love you's"
The language is leaving me in silence
No more "I love you's"
Changes are shifting outside the word
Outside the word

- Annie Lennox

Just when we thought we are healed of some wounds, we discover the painful opposite. And that no matter how you make some people understand everything about it, they just won't. For the simple reason that they see a flaw in your argument. Or that, they have their own issue to raise with you. Sometimes, you only need a sincere "sorry" or for them not to talk back but just respond & give the moment to you. To unload, to speak up, to breathe...

To him, it has mostly been like stealing the floor from someone. When you start to protest, the tables are turned. More ofthen than not, it would make you feel guilty of something. And then you start to ask "when will i ever get through you?". It's either that or you never had the perfect timing. Ever. Do people stop & think "will i disturb him from anything if a brought this up?". Do angry people have the time to do that? With an altered state of mind because of something that bothers you, would you bottle it up & just wait for it to burst when you can't hold it in anymore? Someone better teach me how to do that now. I'm not an expert. For most of my life i have been keeping all my emotions & it didn't do me any good. Hell, i know, it will not.

To me, it is just a matter of respect. To be able to speak one's mind & actually feel good doing it.

It feels weird.

...how some emotions never change.
...how one gets jealous of something they don't know crap about (or is it possible that they were told of something they "HAVE" or are "ALLOWED" to hear? so no one gets hurt, or start on a roller coaster that is 'technically' of the past?).

It just feels weird, really.

I wish it would just go away.

Better yet, that i never knew it at all.

I'm Alive!

Wow! it's been over a year since i've written anything here. Well actually, it usually TAKES me a year to do so,darn. Blame it to my oh-so-eventful-life-that-i-barely-have-time-to-sit-down-and-write-about-it (hey, ain't that the main reason why i started this one?haha weirdo @_@) But now I'm back! & i'm willed to fill up every nook of this spot with anything & everything about me. Get ready to get spawned by Jill's randomness Hah! I'm at work right now (hella bored & um, hungry T_T) & the busy bodies infront, behind & everywhere around me makes for the perfect background to blog about my everyday work life. It aint much of a fun really. It can be described with one word: ROUTINE.Heck. (two words to describe it then huh?*grin*). I'm proud of myself today. I got a lot of things done, with me actually using my brain =P Because bragging aside, i can do most of my work with eyes closed hehe. Welps, it's been or i have been like that eversince i became part of this country's workforce -- it doesn't take me a while to slide from ''stimulating' to 'routine' work. The transition just kind of hurtles by, & the minute i realize it, i'm trying my best to keep my sanity for lack of 'better' & 'worthwhile' (where i can really learn from, and are not part of my 'stock' knowledge') things to do. Hey! it's almost time to go home *cartwheels*. Hmmm...i'm a go sh-o-o-o-opping! :) (<---& this one is a whole new blog waiting to be explored *teehee*)

If You Forget Me...

I want you to know one thing.
You know how this is:if I lookat the crystal moon,
at the red branch of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch near the fire the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,as if everything that exists,aromas, light, metals,were little boats that sail toward those isles of yours that wait for me.
Well, now,if little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you little by little.
If suddenly you forget me do not look for me,
for I shall already have forgotten you.
If you think it long and mad,the wind of banners
that passes through my life,and you decide to leave me at the shore
of the heart where I have roots,remember
that on that day,at that hour,I shall lift my arms
and my roots will set off to seek another land.
But if each day,each hour,you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,if each day a flower
climbs up to your lips to seek me,ah my love, ah my own,in me all that fire is repeated,in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will be in your arms
without leaving mine.

- Pablo Neruda
