Lovestoned.

Love.
Don’t want to think about it
Don’t want to talk about it
I’m just so sick about it

Yep. That would be something I’d say before I met Ryan. I even thought that I was stupidly addicted to love; the sadistic kind, where pain is pleasure. I cry my eyes out until my chest lacks air that I couldn’t breathe, and I loved that feeling.

It’s that time of year once again. Shuckz. I have not celebrated Valentine’s Day for years now, even with my last relationship. After I broke up with my last boyfriend in 2002, I found out that he spent this day with his other girlfriendS. Yes, I shared him with 2 others. Pfft. So, I couldn’t help but become cynical about love. I used make a face inside my head when I see sweet couples. I throw darts at their eyes in my mind. How pathetically cruel is that? Oh well…

Today, I can actually accept greetings from friends without thinking evil thoughts on how I can squeeze their fingers until they bleed out because they sent me a text message. *maybe I still will* (evil laugh… bwahahaha!) I used to tell them never to greet me, because I didn’t have a relationship. But I try to console myself by thinking that the said occasion is also for the love of family and friends. But it’s true.

How will I spend this day? Well, Ryan and I didn’t really have any plans. He just told me that he’s going to come over and we’d watch some movies on DVD. That’s fine with me. I mean, I am into extravagant things, and I don’t like receiving typical flowers that wither and die. But, I do like getting one sometimes. I like receiving wild flowers instead of the usual roses and tulips. Anyway, I think we’ll just spend the day, like any other days, and that’s Ok for us. What’s more important is that we know that no occasion like this should define how we feel for each other. Yikes! Mushiness!

The Messengers

We (Ryan, me, JR, Myda, JC, Gianne) didn’t push through with the original Tagaytay plan. The others decided to hang out at Cable Car for a sing-along night. We got there by 8pm. JR and Ryan started choosing the songs they’re going to sing from the list, while the rest of us started to drink. I am not much of a drinker, so I only had 2 glasses of beer. We stayed there until 11pm then we transfered to Greenbelt.

PictureRyan decided that we should see a movie. They all wanted to watch The Messengers I am not at all impressed with how the movie turned out. Of course, it’s scary because of the sound effects and the ghost make-ups, but the story is typical. Family moves in on an old creepy house. Not thinking that it could be haunted. Kids tell them something is wrong, parents don’t listen. Those type of stuff. I didn’t scream or hear anyone scream in the theater, but I was hiding behind Ryan’s shoulder because I didn’t want to see anything that’ll make me jump off my seat. JR nearly slept in the middle of the movie. Says so much about the film, huh? Yep. Don’t watch it in the big screen! Waste of money, and it gave me a headache!

Anyway, I need to go to the dentist. One of my teeth needs to be filled up. I can’t eat properly. Food always get stuck in the small hole. Ugh. I am terrified of going to the dentist, by the way. There was one time that the dentist’s hand slipped while filling up my tooth, and she ended up puncturing my gum. OUCH! Since then, when I go to a dentist for an appointment, I can hear my heart beating in my ears.

I need to sleep. I am sleep deprived. Waah!

The Feeling of… I Dunno…

I am feeling a little bit uneasy lately. It’s like something unpleasant is going to happen. I am not sure what it is, but it sure feels like I am never going to like it, whatever it is. I hate feeling this way. I do hope that it’s nothing. Maybe I am just experiencing mood swings, and maybe it’s the headache I am having since I woke up this morning. I really hope it’s nothing.

My mom and I are OK now. We’re speaking to each other again, just like we used to. I’m trying my best not to cross her path when she’s having a bad day, to avoid any confrontation. I think it’s better that way.

So, I finally have my new layout up. It’s sort of my “Love Month” theme, but I think it’s going to stay for a while. I like how it turned out, and I’m proud that it’s validated, both in XHTML & CSS. If you find any errors, please contact me.

[EDIT] To Shari and Lexie: Thanks for pointing out the error on the comments page. *wee!* Every code is fixed now. No more errors! Yay! Everything is valid. [/EDIT]

I answered a phonecall last Sunday, and I am so glad that the caller carried a good news. She’s from the Comp&Ben department of the company I worked for. They finally called me about my back pay, which is more than a year overdue. I am so glad that I’ll finally get the money that I worked for plus the other benefits that I should get. Thank God! Should I buy more textbooks?

Tomorrow night, if everything goes as planned, Ryan and I, together with some friends, are going to Tagaytay for a night out. It should be fun, and I am looking forward to a nice and relaxing evening.
