Repository of word vomit since 2007.

Little known fact: I write down all the interesting lines and useless facts that I read or hear on a small, black, hardbound journal - with crisp white pages and wrapped in Oriental fabric. This is to make up for my inability to express my feelings (which I have a lot of) through words (I'd rather flail my arms and cry), and my inaptitude to conjure up clever retorts of my own.

This is like the online version of that notebook, for when I'm too lazy to reach for it, or when I'm simply sick of having to deal with my ugly handwriting. Some of the shit here are by me, though.

It is true that when we start to measure ourselves by the yardstick of others, we will come out short.

A week before the test is not the time for any major life changes. This is NOT the week to quit smoking, start smoking, quit drinking coffee, start drinking coffee, start a relationship, end a relationship, or quit a job. Business as usual, okay?

This is going to cost at least a good Php30,000. Sigh.

Don't be the eternal girlfriend (or in my case, the eternal non-girlfriend)

If a man wants to be with you…he is going to close the deal pronto.  And no amount of love, will, desire or “hanging in there” on your part is going to make it happen.

Dating is not like a Law and Order episode, where possession is nine-tenths of the law, because frankly, you could cook dinner for him, clean his car, and pick up his dry cleaning for the rest of your life and still not get what you want.

Don’t demean yourself by hanging around forever.
