One Rainy Day

So I’m stuck.

School’s out. Well, not really…

The sounds of the thunder reverberated from outside to our room, which is so small, it felt like I am the one being hit. Today, I might say, I have been very idle. For hours now, I just sat in front of the computer chatting to my friends at YM.

However, there is this thing I am working on with two of my friends, namely, Ringo and Kix. You will find out soon what it is about after everything has been finalized.

WHEN DREAMS ARE NIGHTMARES.

I had the weirdest dreams, I swear! This morning, I woke up for about 5 minutes and then went back to sleep. In a split second, I am already in dreamland. Or should I say, nightmare-land?

My dream was about myself, endlessly walking, until I came across my old high school, where there is a patio umbrella. I saw my old classmates, my first boyfriend and my ex-bestfriend. We all had to attend the same class, and my first boyfriend sat beside me. It was so weird because he looked the same as when we were together, younger, but still as handsome. After class, he held my hand and forced me to come with him, under the rain. But when we arrived at this place, he let go and then he hurriedly took off. I tried to run after him but a lot of people with umbrellas are blocking my view.

I felt alone and in despair. I can feel the tears ready to pour, but for some reason, it didn’t. Change setting. I am now in a big house, a mansion with so many rooms and a beautiful garden with a sunbrella. I knew, I had to find the bathroom to bathe, but I was on a loop, I was in circles. I saw a familiar face, my old batchmate. He then told me where the bathroom was.

For some reason, I was just wearing a tee. Oh yes, no underwear. Waaah! I got inside the bathroom and my batchmate followed. He didn’t want to leave, but in my head, I had to bathe. (Maybe I smelled bad? Hahaha!) I told him to leave, but he insisted that he wanted to see me bathe. I was getting so frustrated that I stood up, removed my shirt and told him, “There! Happy now?”

Then he went *poof!*

It was like, he just wanted me to show him the real me. Weird. I guess, that is my greatest fear. Fear that I am naked, and yes, fear that I am so transparent you won’t have to ask questions to get to know me.

But then, it’s just a dream, nightmare. I’ll live.

Week Starting

We didn’t do a lot in school today. Well, some of my classmates discussed their assigned reports in front, which half of it I didn’t get. I had to rely on my book to better understand what they were talking about. I believe, only one of them came prepared with visual aids, which is not so visually stimulating with his chicken-scratched handwriting. So, Keshia and I just talked about stuff involving our lives.

Anyway, Keshia gave me this mp3 of an unknown-to-me singer, Ivy, Long Distance Album. It has fourteen (14) soothing tracks, yes, stress releaver, and my favorite song there right now is, Worry About You. It’s also in the soundtrack of 4400 The Series. It’s kind of a coincidence, too, because this person who has been text messaging me sent me a verse from the same song. Sigh…

Bye bye baby.
Don’t be long.
I’ll worry about you while you’re gone.
I’ll think of you night and day.
I’ll never know just what you meant to say….

So far, my day is A Okay. I just hope it will continue on until the weekend. I am meeting someone on Saturday. I am a bit excited and a bit scared at the same time. Well, everyone will know, if I feel like sharing. I don’t want to go emo on everyone right now, but it’s like I have this automatic barrier that builds up whenever someone new is coming along, may it be a new friend or a boy. But, of course, I always leave a window open and peak; and sometimes, I let my hand out. If things go well, I open the door and let people in…

Is Life Better With Unlimitxt?

I used to be a postpaid Globe subscriber, until someone hacked into my sim and used it to call abroad. Obviously, I had to cut the line. I then switched to Smart. Life was great, no hassles. The signal is great and I receive a lot of text messages from friends, and I can do my usual calls of “Hello!” to my long time friends.

Well, life was great with Smart, but then came along Sun. I maintained 2 cell phones for a while. One Smart sim and another is with Sun. The Sun sim always received a lot of calls. I mean, talk about their promo. Unlimited FREE calls? Downside is that it’s as long as 15 minutes, so if you want to talk more, you have to call more!

I decided to just own one phone. So, I remained with Smart. I guess, with the best experience with their service. And then, I received a lot of stalker text messages and calls. I switched from Smart to Addict Mobile. Their service is better, I guess. I like sending MMS messages, and theirs had the lowest rate at that time at Php5.00, not a bad deal. Although I can enjoy unlimited text messaging with Addict Mobile, too, I never tried that service. I guess, since, I am not so fond of text messaging, and most of my friends use a Globe sim.

Until recently, I bought a Globe sim. I did so, to serve as my trash number. So now, I maintain two phones again. Everyone on my Globe sim owns Globe numbers. So, with that in mind, I tried their Unlimitxt service.

The first person I sent a text message to is someone who has been asking for my number for a long time, and that was a month after I got the new sim.

As most of you know, I am back in school taking up Multimedia Arts. So I have new friends, gave them my number. But I only gave my Globe number to Keshia. Anyway, one day, my other classmate started text messaging me. It was okay at first, but, I started to get annoyed. All day texting until before I fall asleep? I don’t do small talks with text messaging, unless the person I’m exchanging messages with is someone that I haven’t seen for a long time, or, if I like you.

It bothers me that when you have an unlimited access to something, it makes you feel like you have to use it all the time. Not just with text messaging. If you have a lot of money, and you are like those people who can’t sit still knowing you have unlimited funds, you’d go shopping everyday; buy things you don’t even need for the sake of using your money.

I see text messaging as a good means of communication. I use my prepaid credits for needed text messages, or when I am being sweet and remember my friends. There are lots of benefits having the Unlimitxt service, but we have to put it to good use. But you know what? I appreciate text messages from friends, especially cute quotes, when it is sent from another network. I don’t know, for me, it shows more sincerity that someone remembered me and doesn’t care to spend a peso to say so.

So, is life better with Unlimitxt?

I hope yours is.

P.S.
The Mark III is coming up soon.
