Me-lan-cho-ly

I’ve been feeling melancholic since I woke up this morning. It was probably because of the big fight I had with my mom the previous night. We exchanged hurtful words at each other. I didn’t mean to say anything back at her, but I have kept mum for a long time and I just blew up yesterday night. The bottom line is, all I want for her to do is appreciate the things I do, even if it’s just the littlest thing. I don’t ask for much. A little thank you would do.

To add to the depressing mood, I had a bad dream this morning, so I just drank some capresso. In my dream, Ryan broke up with me and I couldn’t believe that it happened. I kept on looking out my bedroom window, waiting for him to come back, but he didn’t. Inside my dream, I realized I was dreaming, and I wanted so much to wake up. I kept on crying in my dream because I can’t wake up. When I finally did, I found myself really crying and I coldn’t breathe properly. I sat straight up to catch my breath. I sent a text message to Ryan and told him about my dream. He said that, “It’s just a dream. It’s not real.” …well, I hope so.

Upto now, I still feel so low. My eyes are still sore from all the crying. I suffered a bad headache since last night, pretended it didn’t hurt when I got to school, and still pretended I am alright when I spoke to Ryan on the phone this afternoon. I don’t want him to know that I still feel bad. I know it’s hard to be in his situation. He’s there and I’m here, and he can’t do anything to physically comfort me and make me feel better. The truth is, I wished he’s here with me right now to just embrace me and make me feel that everything is going to be alright.

I feel so cold and alone. Literally.

To the LEFT!

I was able to finally update The Filipino Exchange Clique. Lexie made the layout months ago and I got busy with other things that I never got back to uploading everything and fixing it. The clique has been online for 4 years now. It’s a pleasure to list talented Filipino web designers all over the world.

Ryan and I will be watching Night At The Museum today. It stars Ben Stiller, and Robin Williams is there, too. We’re currently at a computer shop at the mall waiting until it’s time for the movie. I am hoping that the movie is good. My sister said that she found it very entertaining. I don’t want any heavy-in-the-heart movie right now, since I am happy with my life. I just want to be entertained. I guess, I just get American comedy over the local ones. We want to see Babel, too. But maybe at another time.

While I am trying to erase Born To Be Wild as my LSS, here comes “To the left, to the left”. Cringes. I am not saying I hate the song. It’s just making me crazy hearing it over and over again. My sister just bought the CD and I am sick to my ears hearing “To the left, to the left” Fine, Ms. Knowles, he’s irreplaceable!

Will continue later…
