There’s just so many ideas forming in my mind. I’ll enumerate the very concrete ones ::
1) God. I need to study this sem-break.
I finally find the time to advance read my lessons. Noli me Tangere being at the very top, followed by Geom. then my English book.
2) I need to get out more.
Seriously. I’m bored outta my shell. I spend idle time doing impeccable stuff. All this time at home makes me want to eat more (which brings us to:)
3) I need to re-start my anorexia/dieting.
I gained 10 pounds over the month of OCTOBER. I hate OCTOBER now. I’m now an aspiring vegetarian.
4) I need to go to the gym.
I need to hype up myself. Goodness. I want to feel that unbearable pain in my abdomen, triceps, biceps, deltoids, shoulders… every single part of my body that hurt during the time i DID go to gym. (which was like… 1 month ago.)
5) I need to save up some money.
Roughly 3 months to save up for our prom hotel rooms and after-party stuff. I’m SO thankful that CHRISTMAS is a time for GIVING (cough*money*cough).
6) I need to refurbish my iTunes.
My last computer had 3000 songs in it. This one’s only got… like 600… and that’s literally pushing it.
7) I need a new wardrobe.
I mean, come ON! My old clothes look like walk–mall–get-out–work-out–do-stuff–in pyjamas! It’s driving my head through the roof. My dad’s literally hiding his clothes, coz’ i keep *borrowing* them out of his closet. haha. The wonders of losing weight.
I gotta find my hairstyle.
I am SO damn tired of TRYING to look in the mirror every day and getting to use 1 GALLON (exaggerating) of gunk just to get my hair the way i want it too (which, isn’t at all that much good either). I need to DO THIS.
9) I gotta start really putting effort into writing my manuscript.
I don’t know really. I’ve worked on 10 manuscripts, and 5 of them didn’t go past chapter 1 (with prologue), 3 didn’t go past chapter 5, and the other two didn’t get past 10. I really NEED to do this, if I plan to try and get rich-ER by the time i’m eighteen.
(plus, that palanca award i’m raring to get. or the pulitzer… whichever comes my way… hahahaha. WAY WAY dreamer)
10) I need to START and get STICKERS for my STARBUCKS DIARY.
Ever since SB’s became my everyday elixir of life, (ever since 3rd year.) I’ve been itching to finally get some of thos small card thinggys with those matching christmas stickers.
11) CHRISTMAS SHOPPING
I need to shop for all those gifts and all. Just… I REALLY NEED TO DO THIS.
12) Bonifacio HIGH STREET
I really need to go here with some friends. I can’t spend the entire break without setting foot here ONCE. I’ll kill myself if i don’t. I wanna peruse the inventory of FULLY BOOKED so much.
13) I need to give my parents more credit than I’m giving them now.
Ever since that incident… and ever since yesterday… I’ve been thinking a lot about how I’m such an ass about ALWAYS caring for WHAT I NEED, WANT and FEEL… that I sometimes forget about my parents. I gotta show them I love them MORE now that I’ve finally (hopefully) realized how much we hang on to life by a thread.
14) I seriously need to re-think my preferences-slash-priorities
Sometimes, i really need to give myself a REALITY check. Come on.
15) I need to SELL my old phone.
I need the greens, instead of a spare phone looking at me everyday.
16) Appreciate more what my friends are doing for me…
To those people who were in the wake last friday… those who stayed up until night. For those who listened to my “life story”? hahah. Thanks very much.
17) Appreciate more what my REAL friends are doing/have done for me…
I said to myself that I wouldn’t post anything related to that issue… but sure, one last thing about that before I officially start my sem-break.
I just realized really, how much I’ve done. How wrong I was. AND how unappreciative I was for her… I remembered the times when she’d listen to me about my problematic rantings… all those things about wanting to look better and feel better… that AIDS thing… That hope and strength she’d given me to be more secure and certain about myself. I can’t believe how stupid I am for not even thanking her for that… and I even had the nerve of offending her so much.
So, if you know who you are, and you know that you’re the one I’m talking about. I’ve just got one last thing to say.
I’m Sorry.
No more flowering words. No more uncalled for elegant and pompous use of words.
I’m sincere.
I guess I’ll stop here.
I gotta go rest…
Still a big day tomorrow.
Happy break to all
Stay happy. Be happy.

Sorry for what I did today… It’s just that my cousin was doing her *i have no idea what* on the computer. Sorry!

Wouldn’t want to make the wrong impression.
I love you guys!
