THE MEN OF CHRISTMAS.

Got this from a friend's blog:D
Can't include the link since the entry's for her contacts only so you won't be able to see anyway:P

____________________________________________

Jesus is Better than Santa

Santa lives at the North Pole.
JESUS is everywhere.

Santa rides in a sleigh
JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.

Santa comes but once a year
JESUS is an ever present help.

Santa fills your stockings with goodies
JESUS supplies all your needs.

Santa comes down your chimney uninvited
JESUS stands at your door and knocks.. and then enters your heart.

You have to stand in line to see Santa
JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.

Santa lets you sit on his lap
JESUS lets you rest in His arms.

Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is "Hi little boy or girl, What's your name?" JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows our address too. He knows our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads.

Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly
JESUS has a heart full of love.

All Santa can offer is HO HO HO
JESUS offers health, help and hope.

Santa says "You better not cry"
JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you.

Santa's little helpers make toys
JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions.

Santa may make you chuckle
JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.

While Santa puts gifts under your tree
JESUS became our gift and died on the tree.

It's obvious there is really no comparison.
We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about.


We need to put Christ back in Christmas.
Jesus is still the reason for the season.


HAPPY HOLIDAYS, everyone:)
A belated merry Christmas and an advanced happy new year to all of you:D

THE THIRD'S NORMALLY EMO.

It's 4:30am on my laptop's clock.
I'm supposed to be sleeping by now and I'd need to wake up in 1hour and 30 minutes but I'm still up, blogging. All thanks to the sudden influx of insight and ideas and inspiration and creativity and will. Anyway, I'm just going to be emo for the next few minutes..

This season's been messing up with my emotions. Or, at least, this day.
I pathetically cried a couple of times today.
Well, pathetically and unexpectedly. =.="
Like, there's no real reason.
There's just this certain wtimulus which triggered my eyeballs to sweat.
I know, right?


Ever heard of manic depression?
I don't really know everything or much about it but I know it involves mood disorders.
Yeah, I gave you the link but it's not like I've read it.
Well, it's not precisely that. I just wanted to share it with you. xO


Anywaaaay.
I've encountered this earlier this year.
See blog entry, 12May'08

Things come and tears go
Euphoria leaves
Insanity takes over
Manic depression
Laugh and cry
Frolic and slash
Don't worry, dear.
This will end.

Gah. Anyway..
*writer's block. writer's block*


I'm going to finish this.
So, I'm very very very unsure about anything.
But one thing's for sure.
I'm not sure about anything.



Done.

WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES 12.

It's the 24th of December, lovers&friends-who'd-soon-to-be-my-lovers-too!
I don't know about you but, about for me, I'm looking forward for the 24th more than I do for the 25th.
I think because I enjoy all the preparations -- well, last-minute ones, at least -- more than I enjoy the actual party.

Especially when I was young and we're in the province and my cousins and I would be playing all day while our grandma and moms and aunts would cook and prepare the dishes that we're going to eat for Noche Buena. Then, when it's around 8 at night, all of us, kids, will sleep and the older people (NYAHAHA) will just wake us up few minutes before 12am. Then, after eating, we'd all gather around the Christmas tree and one member of the family will grab the presents and read the cards and have them passed around to those people to whom it's addressed to. And we'll delight in our presents until we grow tired and sleep again. Christmas has always been like that to me when I was little. We'd always travel to our province at least a day before Christmas. But when I got past Grade3, If I remember correctly, we don't always spend Christmas in the province anymore. Nonetheless, Christmas remains to be one of the days of the year that I always look forward to.

As years passed by, the childish ecstasy once prominent with every thought of Christmas day has slowly faded away. The red decorated Christmas socks hung up for Santa to fill in with gifts had been replaced with more practical and simple wish lists given to parents to see and fulfill. There are people who would rather sleep off the whole thing without even greeting the people they know, thinking that they actually could have been doing something better that time if it wasn't Christmas break. blah blah blah. And there would be those people who would actually forget about what the day is, like it was just another day in their life.

But, really, why do we celebrate Christmas?
I guess I would be able to answer this clearly if I'd been listening intently to the church services we had this past month; if only I'd been taking down notes-- that is, if only my notebook's not been lost. gahh. K, it's still my fault, anyway.

It's the time of the year when we celebrate the day Jesus Christ has been born.
The day when our Saviour has been born.
The day when the one person who could and did save us has been brought to existence.
The day when the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.(John 1:14)

Well, that's all I know since I'm not really a full-fledged Theologian -- or anything near that.

To avoid being a hypocrite, or to be called one, I honestly don't always think of Christmas this way. I'm actually one of those who anticipate the gift-giving part/s of this season. But, well, I just wanted to blog about this, anyway.

So, advanced merry Christmas, everyone!
May we all have a rockin' Christmas this year.. and the years to come :D

Done.

NEW POST. 'CAUSE ATE CANDICE SAID SO:D

First off, I don't know how to start.
Gyahahahaha.

So I guess, maybe start with the reason why I haven't been blogging lately?
For, like, 12 days?
Well, it's actually basically because I have no idea what to wri blog about.

Second, even if I did have any topic, I'd get stuck in the middle or probably just somewhere along the way and I'd eventually be unable to go on with what I'm writing/blogging.
I think there's a word for either one of the two mentioned reasons above..
Writer's block, is it?
Yeah, I call myself a writer. So, what? I think I am. That's enough.
*Googled*
and for the love of me, here's to you if you have no idea what it means..
WRITER'S BLOCK

Thirdly, and possibly the last if by the end of this entry I still don't have a fourth reason, I'm too darn lazy or BUSY (yeahhh, right) to do so.

So, now that I'm blogging again, I think I've found the inspiration and creativity and will to.. BLOG!

And so my actual blog starts with the next blog.. HAHA.
SAAAAHRY. I just don't like writing long entries ^^V
It gets boring when it's long -.o

Done.

AFTER 2WEEKS.

I'm watching two consecutive episodes of Gossip Girl now - 12&13
- after failing to watch the said episodes immediately after they've been released.

Gahhr. 2weeks [or is it 3?] without a dose of Chuck Bass.
This is truly relieving.
*sigh of relief*

13's sad, though. With Bart dying and all the drama that follows
especially seeing Chuck in agony. T.T

I still don't know what's going to happen since I'm still in the midst of episode13 but I know about the Blair-Chuck scene/s and how sad and heartbreaking the scene/s is/are going to be.
I just don't know what's exactly going to happen, though.
Major blur.

K, Done. :P

SPUNKY RANSOM LEAVES ME HYPERVENTILATING.

Something he said in one interview.
FYI. If you didn't know, Spunky Ransom's his nickname, so to speak, which he randomly blurted out in an interview when asked what he wanted his name to be when he said that he didn't like his name. Though he really seems high on crack almost all the time, admit it, he's exceptionally adorable.

The interviewer brought up an incident when a fan told RPatzz [OH SHIT IT'S JUST NOW HAT I'VE REALIZED.. rPATzz. We're meant to be, seriously x))] 'I love you Rob!' and his reply was 'Good!'


AND THIS IS WHAT HE SAID..

IT'S REALLY ODD. IT'S JUST REALLY ODD. IT'S THE CHARACTER... THEY LIKE.



WTH XD HE'S SO FREAKING HUMBLE. Well at least for me. xD
AND THIS IS ALL I CAN SAY..


NO, SPUNKY. IT'S YOU. YOU DAZZLE ME.





ohmaygaahd.

HE'S JUST SO WITTY AND CHARMING AND FUNNY AND HUMOROUS AND NOT TO MENTION HOT, YES.

AND THOUGH HE'S HIGH, ALL THE TIME, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S ALWAYS ON CRACK, I LIKE HIM.
x)

AND IT WAS CALLED PHOTOSHOP.

SOURCE: PLANETHILTRON
Edited photos of stars.
People are actually really good at this.
Just wanted to share it with you, people XD
Go leave comments,K?! XD

And, here, she's a nutritionist:P

Srsly. Whuuut? xD

The Scarlet Johanson.
Stripped off all her usual glitz and glamour.
Well, she's not that bad, actually x)

Sarah Jessica Parker.
Same old blonde-ness just less shine and dazzle :P

Joel and Nicole's.
Baby Noelle.
See the resemblance? -o-

David Beckham might actually still want her.
Posh Spice sure got a little heavier but then again she's still got her sex appeal.

And she be Dina Lohan. I tell you, it's flawless.
The editing, I mean xD

Oh, my Johnny love xD

Nicky Hilton.
Gotcha.

And they say she's a lesbo.
Ellen's a real beauty, srsly.
Even prettier than Portia.
Well, maybe I'm overstating things.

Well hello there, Ashley.
Say hi to Petey for me.
xO

Jen, Oh, Jen.

Now this, here, is Amy Winehouse.

HERE'S TO MY 28TH BLOG POST.

MY LIPS HAVE SCARS.

It's been 2weeks.
How's everything been going?
'It's been good, so far,' I always say
But really. How good is good?

My blog got merely 4 hits today.
And probably one of those would be me.
So, I actually only got 3hits -.-
Oh, great. That's just great.
Haha. Hey, I'm not being bitter about it.
lol.

Have been pigging out almost everyday.
I couldn't help it. There are lotsa food. Srslyyy.
Gahhhh. But I've really been trying to lose weight.
Been looking at my old photos back in 2007 before I left for S'pore.
Oh golly, was I slim not this fat. -.-

I ate a Taiwanese mooncake.
Nyahaha XD
Reminded me of Mike He.
Gahrrr. Really, everything's about him now.
I kid. I kid. I'm just over-exaggerating XD

Done.

GROCERY SHOPPING

SM Hypermart.
WiFi-ing in Life Coffee & Tea
Bwahahaha. Wanna know the password? lol. Kidding luhh! XD


Waiting for my mommy to finish paying for all the stuffs we bought.


Our way of shopping today was different.
My mom first went by herself to buy things we need at home while my 6-year-old (I think) brother and I stayed here in the coffee shop.
Then it was our turn when she was done putting everything that's necessary in the shopping cart.
Then off went my brother and I to put whatever we please in the cart XD
Like tons of snacks, snacks and more snacks.
It was fun. Being able to just choose and throw in anything we want.
But I think my mom's going to pick out and leave some of the things we chose anyway. XD


So that was it. Now I'm back here in the coffee (and tea XD) place with my brother (who's already in his pj's) who's been running around all this time.

Sugar rush, sugar rush.
Kids.
XD

Done.



*PAT

AND NO ONE CAN SAY 'I'M CHUCK BASS' BETTER THAN HIM.

GUESS WHAT?

WELL, YEAH, IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S UNEXPECTED.


ED WESTWICK.
ONE OF 2008'S SEXIEST MEN ALIVE.
YES. HE'S NOT THE SEXIEST OF THE SEXIEST.
HUGH JACKMAN GOT THAT TITLE.



ED WESTWICK

How does Gossip Girl's bad boy sum up his dating style at 21? "I'm childish at times, passionate, a little crazy, I guess," he says. "And I pride myself on being one of the last romantics." Oh, and ladies, just FYI: "My weakness is the neck – when girls get too close to my neck, crazy things start to happen."

-------------------------------------------------

GAHH. K.
Must figure out how to get near him first, then.
XD



Ahh, Chuck.
Yes, it fits him better. IMO.
I just wish they used a more gorgeous photo of you for this one.

*PAT

REDUNDANCY.

Have just finished watching Devil Beside You.
Another Taiwanese Drama with Mike He playing a role with the same personality as the one he portrayed in Why Why Love.
Ooooh. Being a devil fits him so well. Love love love xO



GAAAAHHHH.
I cried during the last episodes again -.-
POTS. Dinaig ko pa si Qui Yue at Ahmon xD
I srsly cried my eyeballs out XD
I cried less than how much I did when I watched Why Why Love, though xO



MIKE AND RAINIE HAD A HELL OF A LOT OF KISSING SCENES!!!!
+ a bed scene =.=
(even if it was short. and it was only of them kissing on the bed xP)
DEYMMIT!! -.-
It's green due to envy.
Oh jealousy. sweet, sweet, sweet jealousy.
GRRRR XD



MIKE HE'S THE EPITOME OF HOTNESS
AND DEVIL-NESS AND SWEETNESS AND
GAAAHHHHRRRR
THE DREAMIEST GUY ONE CAN EVER DREAM OF.



NOW I'M CERTAIN THAT,
UNLIKE THE PAST DRAMAS THAT I'VE WATCHED BEFORE,
IT'S NOT THE CHARACTER WHOM I LIKED.
IT'S ACTUALLY THE ACTOR HIMSELF.
'CAUSE HE'S DAMN FUNNY AND ADORABLE IN THE
BEHIND-THE-SCENES AND BLOOPERS.
Same as Kingone XD


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mike He.

Wo xi huan ni ^^

Wo yao ni!!!!!
[Hala. Despo!!! XD]


Ni shi wo de!!!!
[this is plain creepy. take note of the exclamation pointS XD]
But then it's sweet when he's the one saying it XD


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LALALALALALA.
MIKE HE HE HE HE HE HE HE.
IT RHYMES!!! XD

TAIWANESE DRAMA ONCE MORE.

Was 'researching'

(like what I always do with every drama series I watch. Got it from Ggine, btw XD)
about Why, Why Love which is the Taiwanese Drama I'm currently watching
when I came across this forum with the topic 'Who's the Cutest (drama series) Couple?'

As I scrolled down, I read typical expected answers - most of which I agree on like
MingDao-QiaoEn, Rain-SongHyeKyo, MatsumotoJun-InoueMao, JooJiHoon-YoonEunHye
Then I saw this one..

JAEHO~~~~!!!!!!



MUHAHAHAHAH!!!!! lol! jk! but yeah...they really are like cute bro's together! FIGHTING DBSK~~!!!!!


and this one..


G-RI. G-Dragon and Seung-ri. ;D


Kikita~ Explain!!! XDDDD

Wahahaha. Anyway, I'm loving Why Why Love. Weeheehee XD




Done.

TO CLARIFY THINGS AND TO APOLOGIZE.

Someone left a message on my blog's chatterbox which disturbed me.

Hey Patricia, please be sensitive to your Singaporean friends who respect and love you as a friend and bother to come to read your blog by not actively voicing out how much you dislike Singapore. It really hurts and I bet you would feel damn angry and sad and disappointed if your foreign friends openly and insensitively (though subtly) said they did not really like your country too.

I'm sorry if I ever did blog something terrible about Singapore. I apologize if I ever "openly and insensitively (though subtly) said" that I did not really like Singapore. If I did that, please kindly direct me to that particular blog post because I can't seem to remember or I didn't realize that that certain post would mean that to some people. So, again, I'm sorry. :)

About my Singaporean friends. I love them all and I think they're really great and nice. I wouldn't want to hurt them and make them "feel damn angry and sad and disappointed" in any way. If I ever made them feel that way, I think they'd actually tell me directly. Well, I hope that's what they'd do so that I'd know :)

And to the kind and thoughtful person who wrote that comment and who made me know how she/he feels, thank you :) I just hoped that you actually wrote your name so that I'd know who you are :)


Again, I'm sorry. To clarify things, I don't really like like Singapore very much. BUT I don't not like Singapore too. Like most things, I'm simply okay with it. So sorry if I ever left that horrible and mean impression on other people. :)



I'm so sorry and it's my least desire to hurt, disappoint, mess with or make other people feel angry. Especially my friends. If you're my friend, you'd definitely know that :)

AS MUCH AS I'M HAPPY : An Emodramatic Approach

I'm actually ecstatically euphoric that I'm going home.
I spent sleepless nights for weeks thinking about going home.
And now, the day has come.

In 6 hours, I'll be on my way to the airport.
In 8 hours, I'll be checking in.
In 10 hours, I'll be boarding the plane.
In 13 hours, the plane I'm on is going to be landing on the runway.
In 13 hours and some minutes, I'll be stepping on Philippine ground.
In 13 hours and some minutes, I'll be breathing Philippine air.
In 13 hours and some minutes.

But as much as I'm excited about this.
I'm also sure that I'm going to terribly miss my roommates.
my room. my clustermates. my cluster.
even OH and S'pore (yeah, MAYBE xD)

I'll miss my room. I really would. It's been almost a year. And it's been one helluva almost a year. All the laughters. The crazy conversations. It's been great. It's been fun. It's been lovely. I'd miss them, no doubt.

Young 522. Start of 2008.
Pat (522-1), NianCi (522-3), Nica (522-4), Ivana (522-2)

Though we've agreed on staying together next year;
and we've written each other's name on our
who-you-want-to-be-roommates-with request form,
There's still no assurance that 522's coming back as 522 next year,
or at least even a different room number.

At this moment. I'm left all alone in this room.
522-2 went to the airport already. Flight's at 7something pm.
522-3 is on an orientation for the juniors.
522-4 is going to a halloween party.


Definitely won't see Wongso not til the 1st of January.
Not going to see Nica before I go because she's going to stay out tonight.
Will see NianCi, for sure :)
Called just now. Won't be able to come back on time :)

Guess how I chose the colors :P
No, it's not just because the colors are gay. lol
Guess, guess.

Same as this blog, this year started black and white.
Everyone got warmer, then came the colors.
And as this year comes to an end,
I guess, like everything else,
it ends like how it began,
black and white.
But surely, the end is much much better..
.. and bitter.
We got to spend all those memorable&precious moments together.
Yet we go home feeling that the past year was not enough,
that we were not able to cherish every moment of it,
and now, everything's changing and going right before our eyes.
And then we feel worse 'cause we know we can't put things back on how they were before.

And all we can look back on are the photos we took.

When we were dressing up...

When they were being gay...

When we were pigging out...

When we were simply being vain...




And when all ends at goodbye, see you next year
and I'm hoping that when I come back, you'd be there in the same room as me.


Our last night...

Before Wongso leaves...

----------------at around I can't remember what time, I was the only one left in the room--------------
oh yeah, I've mentioned it earlier in this post.

And before she goes out of that door,
the one she's been going in and out through all this time,
she looks back,
she remembers how it was before when she sees how it is now.
clean and empty desks.
empty shelves.
the mattress without a cover, left leaning on the wall.
desolate room, devoid of warmth and life.
she sighs.
she's thinking of staying.
she does not want to leave.
but something inside her is tugging, pulling.
the desire to go home.
and without any hesitation
she bids her last farewell, grabs her luggage, opens the door and leaves.

I guess this is the end.
Of this blog entry. LOL
I don't think I was actually able to add
more drama; only more photos.
Well, that's it.
MISSING 522. BIGTIME.
