I think I just survived my Friday. So yay. This deserves for a well-deserved rest. And a hair cut for tomorrow!
Anyway, it’s been a long day and I’m just glad I survived all. It’s going to be a long weekend too, and I’m passing up on a trip to do some writing and probably some work and just spend time at home because the next few weekends are going to be busy. I wish some tm-t88iv could help relieve the busy-ness…but it won’t. Oh well.
But before we go to the weekend…here’s a little something to boost my self-esteem. :P This has been going around Facebook and Tumblr, but I thought I’d post this here just because. So here are the instructions:
Go to urbandictionary.com, type in your first name, copy and paste this as a title, and put the first entry for your name as a text post.
I searched mine and the first answer was: “Slang for Crystal Meth.” Uh, okay. :| But then I found the entry that everyone else was copying for themselves, and here is mine:
Tina
The most beautiful girl you will ever lay eyes on. She has long pretty hair and big brown eyes. She will reel you in at hello, she is amazing in every way.
John: Oh gosh Bobby, I met Tina yesterday
Bobby: JOHN NOOO I CALLED DIBS REMEMBER
John: I’m sorry but no dibs on Tina, shes too perfect to be shottied by only one guy.
LOL. Oh my gosh, this just totally made my day. :)
Care to share what Urban Dictionary has to say about your name? :) Post them at the comments section!
Oh dear, where did January go?
Hello, February. We’re officially 2/12 into 2010, and how have you been?
I spent the last weekend of my January in Baguio — the first time I got back there since…wait, let me count…okay, 11 YEARS AGO. Wow. A lot has changed but I can’t remember what since my memory of my first visit in Baguio is fuzzy already. But it’s definitely very cold there, and it’s a feat to take a bath without a heater in the morning there. The food was amazing, and I’m happily eating strawberries everyday because of my stash. Yum.
On another note, February means another thing. And yes, I dare to write about it (even if my friends and I are saying that the only event on February 14 is Chinese New Year — and I’m not even Chinese), because…well, it’s my blog, and I can write what I want.
So there.
Wait, where was I?
Okay, again. February means another thing: VALENTINE’S DAY.
Ah. Valentine’s Day. Let me count the ways that this “holiday” means to me.
Or not.
Okay, perfectly honest moment? I’m not too excited about this coming February 14. Okay, I’ve never really been excited for Valentine’s Day ever, except maybe two years ago when we had an activity for that day. This year, aside from some plans with friends on the day before, there’s nothing. But then again, it’s not different from last year’s anyway.
I guess the real reason why I’m not too keen about February 14 because I have some leftover hang-ups/angst about…some stuff. I can’t really elaborate, but you probably know what I mean already, right?
It’s just hard to be happy-happy over Valentine’s when you don’t really feel like being happy. Especially when media is pressing it more to you — with TV shows, messages (no auto insurance quotes), gifts and anything to commercialize the holiday. It can get disheartening, especially when you know there’s nothing coming for you over the horizon.
Oh wait, that sounded bitter over there.
Sigh. But you probably know what I mean, right? I hate whining about my lack of love life because I believe it’s not something to whine about. Sometimes it’s just hard to keep on waiting.
Sigh (#2). But I will try. I told Cors that I’m still working on these leftover angst, and hopefully they’re gone by the 14th. I think there’s one thing I should do, and I really, really need to do that. Lord, I need to talk to You, soon. I need to stop being lazy with prayer and actually pray.
But right now…sigh.
I was all set to sleep last night to start my early day today, but this tweet woke me up:
That certainly woke me up. Guess who immediately went to iTunes store and bought the track?
A.D.D. Moment: I love that my dad has a US iTunes account that I use and is linked to his Paypal (where most my blog earnings are going). :D It gives me access to these music and I can support the artists I love.
In a few minutes, I was listening to his new song and swooning. If we weren’t about to sleep, I would have been squealing like an idiot too. :p I think I played the song five times last night until I fell asleep! Ah Dave, I love you so. ♥
Gaaah. I can’t wait for the new album. This will definitely give me more reasons to look forward to April!
Now excuse me, I’ll go back to listening to the song for the nth time. :P
God Gave Me You
Dave Barnes
Album: What We Want, What We Get (out April 6, 2010)I’ve been a walking heartache
I’ve made a mess of me
The person that I’ve been lately
Ain’t who I wanna beBut you stay here right beside me
Watch as the storm goes through
And I need youGod gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I’ve lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me youThere’s more here than what were seeing
A divine conspiracy
That you, an angel lovely
Could somehow fall for me
You’ll always be love’s great martyr
Ill be the flattered fool
& I need youGod gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I’ve lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me youOn my own I’m only
Half of what I could be
I can’t do without you
We are stitched together
And what love has tethered
I could baby, never undoGod gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I’ve lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you, gave me you.
Gave me you.
EDIT! I still can’t get enough of the song, and because of that, here’s a video. ♥
Taking a break on Monday morning evening to share this cute image that made me laugh out loud today:
Isn’t Cookie Monster just adorable? Okay, he isn’t that cute in this image, but that look of bewilderment is so cute. :P I saw a Cookie Monster stuffed toy in Toy Town last Christmas and I would have bought it for myself…if it wasn’t Php 1,500. :( Boo. He’s at the same level of Grimace with my fangirl-ing. So if you want to buy me a birthday gift (March 17 *wink*), that cookie monster doll would be a good one. :P
I wonder why all these kid character fangirl-ing came now that I’m on quarter-life. Regressing much? Haha at least I’m not ogling over wedding invitations…especially since getting married is the least of my wants right now. Yeah, it’s good to like kid stuff every now and then. :P
Okay, back to work now. :)
