What Ma. Kathrina Means

http://www.blogthingsimages.com/whatsyournameshiddenmeaningquiz/name.gif" width=100>  You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated.  You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want.  You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way!    You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.  You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.  You have the classic "Type A" personality.        You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life.  You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip.  People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them.        You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life.  You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home.  You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble.    You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out.  Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia.  Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person.    You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something.  You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense.  You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.    You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.  You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.  You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.    You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.  You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.  You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

Mga SUNOG-BAGA waaa!!!!

nostalgic

debut,18th birthday,cotillion,18roses&candles =P

today, im getting ready for another debut party of a family friend. im participating in 18th gifts. a bit excited because its been a years since i attented a debut. im being nostalgic remembering my very own grad debut party, a gift from my mom... its been what? 6years ago? wow! im too old already! lol!

here's my pic when i turned 18!

they say, one of the most important moment in a girl's life aside from walking down the aisle with the man she'll spend the rest of her life, is HER 18th BIRTHDAY! a day when she finally turned into a FINE YOUNG LADY, willing to face the world with a promise of good life ahead and with lots of suitors LOL...

For TIN-TIN, im wishing you a good health, all the best in life and study hard!

of men and women

i have long since accepted the fact that men are seemingly strong but can be weak
and they fall
and they make a lot of mistakes
and they smell weird
and they can be stupid
and they are assholes sometimes
and they can make women's arguments seem invalid and illogical
and that with seemingly logical and oftentimes flowery words, they can turn women's heads and hearts around
and that they sometimes feel they are perfect, but they seem more perfect when they admit they are imperfect
and that if their hearts are in the right place and if they are after God's own heart, even with all the flaws mentioned above, they are still beautiful creatures

i have long since accepted that women are seemingly weak but can be supernaturally strong
and they fall
and they make a lot of mistakes
and they still smell nice even if they don’t take a bath
and they can be stupid
and they can be bitches sometimes
and they can make men's arguments invalid with just a word or two
and they can turn a man's head and heart with just a shy smile
and that they feel they are beautiful but they seem more beautiful when they don't flaunt their beauty
and that if their hearts are in the right place and if they are after God's own heart, even with all the flaws mentioned above, they are still beautiful creatures

men maybe from mars or women from venus
but in my head, we reside in one sphere
grace
it's what makes flawed and broken men and women
beautiful in our eyes

the battle between us may never end
too many wounds and scars have been inflicted
too many hearts have been broken
too many words have been released that can never be taken back
but at the end of the day, when all has been said and done
again, we are back to that place

just wanna share =)

Of Beauties And Beasts

"in our world today, we have already evolved into a society that doesnt concern itself much with physical appearances. we have clearly moved past that"
- anonymous

that is such a load of crap!

no matter how much you think we have "evolved", human beings still gravitate to the shiniest object in the room, like moths to the lamp, like ants to the sugar, like lizards to the mosquitoes, like....well, you get my point.

when we see a beautiful woman with an ugly guy, we say "lugi" (too bad?) but when we see two beautiful people together, we say, "wow, that's great" when we know of a beautiful person who doesn’t have a boyfriend, we say, "it's such a waste" but when a less attractive person is single, we don't say anything.

when i ask my male friends to choose between a beautiful but dumb woman and a smart but not attractive woman, guess what they will choose?

do we even watch a movie or TV show that stars an ugly person?

and I hate it. I absolutely hate it.

I hate people for perpetuating the "beauty is everything" myth. and I hate myself for buying into that crap. we have enough problems as it is, what with political turmoil, rising prices of basic commodities, spiritual upheavals, and everything else that the world has to offer.

and still we deal everyday with the insecurities that plague our hearts and minds because of our beauty, or lack thereof am I pretty enough for him?

is the reason why I am still single is because I am not attractive enough? did he leave me for her because she is prettier than me?

will I ever be thin enough for my own satisfaction? and don't even get me started on the skin whitening and plastic surgery craze that is sweeping our nation!

will this ever end? will the "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" idealist crap ever really sink into our heads? when will we stop glorifying or vilifying people because of the way they look?

pinch me when that day finally comes because I may think I’m just dreaming....

:: STRIKE & TOUGH ::

The recent events of my life made me decide that I should be happy and excited on the small things around me. Even if it's just temporary. Yeah, I know that being happy is a choice but I must admit that I am still hesistant to make that genuinely happy choice just yet. I still want to wallow and cry a little bit more. I believe that I owe it to myself to (still) absorb the last few hurts and pains that will come my way (I can argue on this one so no point on debating on this one). I am taking it one step at a time and one day at a time. An 8months passed and I think that my healing process already started. I believe that the pains and hurts are slowly creeping out of my system BUT the sadness, the loneliness, and the longing are the ones that are enveloping me lately - which is a whole, whole, whole lot terrible and horrible than the hurting. It's a very wicked and nasty state to be in and I don't see any looming expiration date as of the moment.

:( I totally digress.

As I've said a while ago, I've been amusing myself with little things around me. I've been hanging out with my friends who are all kind enough to listen to my-never-ending-love-story but who are also polite enough to stop asking questions or pestering me with details when they feel that I cannot take it anymore. I used to be quite open and shareful on the subject of my lovelife (or the lack thereof) to my closest friends but I guess it is different this time. Some of them were quite surprised that I am so privy about the whole thing. I dunno why. Maybe because I just want to keep it all inside me. Maybe "we" have already talked about it in length and in all angles and it left no room for "analysis". Or maybe...it was just the mature way to handle things. Friends even said that I am taking it quite well since I am NOT whiny, pouty, and self-absorbed compared last year. Haha!

ME. ALL SMILES.

Though Times Never Last, But Though People DO!

Another OutLet

Yes, I have the book. Yes, I read the book. I will (even) be lending it to my good friend Azume on Monday so she can read it herself. She did not get her own copy since she believes that it's a total rip-off considering that it's so thin of a book AND we all know "how to survive after a break-up" BUT we just don't want to do it. The marketing people at Summit Books are geniuses and I am their "ideal target market" (read: suspect at the same time, victim). Girls in my current state will buy almost absolutely anything to somehow help ease the pain and restore the hope within us. Even if it's a 96-page book of heartbreak do's and dont's which our very friends kept on suggesting to us since day one post break-up. It was one good dose though. Read it if you must.

A BREAK-UP DIARY?

This is another piece of me in cyberspace. Well, as if I don't have enough, right? I've been sad for more than a month now. I parted ways with the love of my life month ago - which is coincidentally the day before my 22nd birthday. Sucks, right? It was a move that was not planned but nevertheless necessary. We both know that we need to part ways for us to "finally make it". We've been "together" for more than 5 long years yet we haven't taken further steps in making our relationship for real. Parting ways and breaking-up will make us winners --- eventually.

If real realization sets in on this current phase then we will gladly go back to each others arms. If we will not make it then it's probably not meant to be (and we will just be thankful that we find out about it sooner than later). But what I am feeling NOW is crappy!!! It's the crappiest beyond crap! I am so sad. :(

When I am with my friends, around relatives, on blogging/friendster, while eating lunch...I am usually light-hearted with a brave and strong front. But when I am alone...driving to and from work, weekends, those minutes before sleeping...those are the baddest. Sadness consumes me in the most weirdest way possible.

I cannot even cry, hurt, or pain because of the SAD state I am in. I realized that being sad is worse than being hurt. In hurting, one usually takes an effort in feeling that emotion. It's also coupled with anger, what ifs, and on some extent, gulit. But when you're sad...you're just SAD. It's a STATE that wouldn't go away. It's a state that doesn't go away no matter how "happy and smiling" you seem to be... ='(

...Sad but TrUe ='(

uNtItLeD (simple plan)

I open my eyes
I try to see but im blinded by the white light
I cant remember how
I cant remember why
Im lying here tonight

And i cant stand the pain
And i cant make it go away
No i cant stand the pain
How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
Got no way to run
The night goes on
As im fading away
Im sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

Everybody's screaminng
I try to make a sounds but no one hears me
Im slipping off the edge
Im hanging by a thread
I wanna start this over again
So i try to hold on
On to a time when nothing mattered
And i can't explain what happened
And i cant erase the things that i've done
No i can't

How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
Got no where to run
The night goes on
As i'm fading away
Im sick of this life
I just wanna scream

How could this happen to me
I've made my mistakes
I've no where to run
The night goes on
As im fading away
Im sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

About Marriage & Relationships

They say that "time can heal the wounds of a broken heart"... maybe so. yet, it is depressingly to know that there are too many wasted time that pass us by before we finally decided to swallow our pride. I've learned the hard way that marriage & relationship is not always a guarantee that a couple who vowed to stay in love forever in each other will keep their promises... I've witnessed a lot of failed marriages & even the long-term relationships through my friends, not too distant relatives, and even my mom & dad and would you believed? even me is not exempted in the list =(... Funny but it gives me cold feet to decide to settle down. At the back of my mind lies a question - "why do people in love tend to give up without a fight?" well, easy for me to say because im not in that kind of situation before.. but you know what, eventhough i suffered the same fate in my past relationships, im still hoping that when i get married, when i met THE ONE.. mine will be a happy one & we may believe in staying for keeps..
Im not asking for a "perfect" romance & im not saying we don't have flaws. there were trials & storms along the way for sure but i know, we will weathered them all together. I will borrow a line from my favorite author quoted that: " Marital life is like two rough marbles rubbing together. There's plenty of friction & sometimes sparks. But as the years go by, the rough edges wear away & the one left w/ something smooth & beautiful" i believe in that, for me, in one relationship, there are moments that trials unbeatable, pains & sufferings are always on the side, challenges unbearable but it is the one meant to last a life time... I know, a lot of us undergoing a lot of difficulties in our own relationships, but i do hope this quote will help each one of us to realized what life & love really is...

" The road to a better life is thorny... no one dare says its easy getting up on our feet after a crippling fall. learn life the hard way, choose Love to rule.. for tomorrow opens forth a new life, the joy & happiness in being able to share that life with someone and for staying In Love & for KEEPING IT FOREVER..."

SpotLight Effect...=(

PARANOID, that's it! something that i was before. and i have changed i know, for a long, very long time without being conscious about it. and maybe that's because im sure im not doing anything wrong to be judge by them around. those who are critical minded, have sin connecting eyes, ever dropping ears, and judgemental mouth. surely, you won't get away with those.
But now, its all coming back again. Paranoia's really on yourself. you feel super-sensitive that you even think everybody's been talking about you. and you almost over reacted without being so sure about what you are doing. "what you think is what you feel" right? i'm so like that, i easily hate those people who's talking and then stop if i walk by, and frankly, i dont believe in case they explain. its just that, there's something wrong. there's something wrong with me.
Just think about it. who do you think won't get irretated if you're just doing what you have come up with then they will just spread the idea that your this or that.. it does'nt make any sense though. who won't get upset with those jerkt thoughts? well, im not against them because that's where they become happy, to feast with someone's life. its just that, what they saying its simply below the belt & so malicious.. ugh! sometimes i cant help my self but to hate those kinds really!
Some say 'you're doing something and you dont want to be noticed? well, dont do something wrong' Actually, its depends on what you do. if you think its wrong, then stop it. but if you think its right, but they continue to criticize you, well, just tell yourself, 'its not their business' If you're happy with it, then go! who cares about those people that so malicious anyway? why they became malicious? well its like this... they give wrong meanings on what you do, though, for you its so plain & "obviously visible". i just dont know why we have people like them here. are they jelous or something else? because for me, what i do is just so plain & a natural thing. NO MORE... NO LESS...

..DESIDERATA...

Go Placidly amid the noise & haste & remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be in good terms with all persons. speak your truth quietly & clearly; and listen to others, even the dull & ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud & aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. if you compare yourself with others, you may become vain & bitter; for always there will be greater & lesser persons than yourself.enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. but let this not blind you to what virtuue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.BE YOURSELF. especially, do not feign affection. neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perenial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. but do not distress yourself with imaginings. many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees & the stars; you have the right to be here. and whatever or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore BE AT PEACE WITH GOD, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors & aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a
BEAUTIFUL WORLD.
Be Careful.
STRIVE TO BE HAPPY...

A quote from Bilbo Baggins of J.R.R. Tolkien's THE LORD OF THE RINGS

" Its a dangerous business, going out your door...
You step onto the road and if you don't keep your feet
there's no knowing where you might be swept off to... "
