I can't say I'm a fatalistic person, and I dont rely on horoscopes or readings as basis for decisions, but from time to time, I come across ones which really hit the mark. Today is one of those days....
Your Daily Horoscope: February 26, 2010
Pisces Feb. 19 - Mar 20
There may be an especially important event that you have to attend today, Pisces. It's not only important that you be there, it's vital that you are at your best, because this could mean a step up for you in life. It would also be to your advantage to follow the lead of others, rather than trying to make a big show of how well you fit in with the crowd. Even the slightest mistake in word or deed will be easily spotted by others, causing you to be ignored. Be ready to defend any comment.
Your Love Horoscope
Your emotions are running on high right now, Pisces, and this bodes for all emotions on your romantic spectrum. On the one side you are optimistic and confident, and on the other you are confused and frustrated. Though it may seem that the confusion is coming from someone else, it is you that is creating your own frustration. You have finally been able to let go of the people in your romantic life that were not serving your needs adequately, but for some reason there is that one person that keeps coming back to you. If your thoughts keep returning to someone with perhaps a foreign connection, there may be something more here than you think. Or perhaps you already know this but have not yet confronted your fears yet on this issue? Just remember that when love works two ways, there is nothing to be afraid of, and this may very well be the situation that you are working with right now.

I love to travel. Old places, towns, and buildings fascinate me. I sometimes think I used to be a princess in my past life,mainly because I feel at home in palaces (as if!  ).
Im happy that I get to do that more often than I used to, but I've realized that there are several downsides to traveling like this as well :
- I've been freezing for 10 days straight now
- Though English is supposed to be a universal language, I've found that I have to communicate mostly by hand signals to get myself understood in most places
- I'm dying to eat rice but can't find any that I can afford (i keep converting the rates to peso and I cant make myself buy it in the end)
- My feet are throbbing from combined cold and fatigue
- My entire body hurts from the long train rides and the long walks around town
But I think a few weeks down the road, all these will be forgotten and all I'll have left are good memories of another dream come true...

Eto na ang valentine's bugggg! arrrgghhhh
*********************************************************
I can't believe what i just heard
Could it be true
Are you the boy I thought I knew
The one who promised me his love
Where did it go
Does anybody ever know
How do you heal a broken heart
That feels like it will never beat this much again
Oh no
I just can't let go
How do you heal a broken heart
That feels like it will never love this much again
Oh no
Tonight I'll hold what could be right
Tomorrow I'll pretend to let you go
And were you ever what you seemed
Or was I a fool who fell in love
With her own dream
And now you say you want to leave
Start a new life today
Those words I thought you'd never say
Tonight I'll hold what could be right
Tomorrow I'll pretend to
Wake and put it all behind me
And find that I have finally found
A new life
In my soul
And find that I know how to let you go
-Chris Walker
You give your hand to me
And then you say, "Hello."
And I can hardly speak,
My heart is beating so.
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well.
Well, you don't know me.
No you don't know the one
Who dreams of you at night;
And longs to kiss your lips
And longs to hold you tight
Oh I'm just a friend.
That's all I've ever been.
Cause you don't know me.
-Ray Charles
I've been watching your world from afar,
I've been trying to be where you are,
And I've been secretly falling apart,
I'll see.
To me, you're strange and you're beautiful,
You'd be so perfect with me but you just can't see,
You turn every head but you don't see me.
I'll put a spell on you,
You'll fall asleep and I'll put a spell on you.
And when I wake you,
I'll be the first thing you see,
And you'll realise that you love me.
Sometimes, the last thing you want comes in first,
Sometimes, the frist thing you want never comes,
And I know, the waiting is all you can do,
Sometimes...
-Aqualung

Yes, I do.
I know that you see me only as a friend, so this may come as a shock to you. But I really, really miss you.
I miss how your smile brightens up the room for me.
I miss how you make me laugh so hard that Im in tears.
I miss teasing you.
I miss the way I make you laugh.
I miss how comfortable you make me feel.
I miss our conversations.
I miss that cute nose that I envy so much .
I miss spending time with you, even if we dont get together that often.
I miss your jokes.
I miss the way you make me blush.
I miss how you always remind me to take care of myself while trying not to show how concerned you are.
I miss YOU.
How I wish you would miss me too...

When i first went to europe last year, i was kinda disappointed. I was looking forward to seeing snow for real. As my plane landed in Frankfurt, I was eagerly looking out the window, waiting for my first glimpse of snow, like a kid waiting for her favorite lollipop.
The old German couple who happened to be my seatmates noticed it and asked what I was looking for. I said "snow", with a huge grin. They looked at each other and told me that I most probably wouldnt see snow in Germany, unless I was planning to go to the higher areas, which I wasnt.
True enough, I spent 4 days in Cologne and didnt see a drop of snow. Just blasts of cold miserable air, which wasnt any fun at all. People kept telling me I should be glad because snow makes it harder for people to move around, that's it's slippery, wet, and uncomfortable.
But I thought - it's easy for them to say that, because they get to see snow every year. I come from a tropical country, which has typhoons and floods hitting it almost every other month. And I wasnt sure if I would get to return to Europe after that trip, so I was desperate to see snow.
In the 14 days I spent in europe last year, all i got was a faint snowfall in Paris which lasted for about 2 minutes. It stopped before I even got a chance And I left Europe feeling a bit incomplete.
This year, before I left for the trip again, people were telling me to pack really thick clothes, that this year is getting to be the coldest winter in Europe for several years. But I didnt get my hopes up anymore. That's what they told me last year too.
This time, however, when my plane landed in Frankfurt, I saw snow on the ground! I was so excited to go out of the airport and touch my first snow. So when I stepped out of the train in Cologne, I was hurrying out of the station and into the open grounds.
I got my wish all right, but it didn't turn out as fun as I envisioned it to be. I was wet and cold already after only a few meters, and my feet were soon sloshing in my porous sandals and socks.
I almost slipped twice and was only stopped from falling flat on my butt the second time because I was lucky enough to have been walking with some locals who caught my arm just as I was about to fall.
Still, it was my first real snow experience, and I loved it. This is only the start of my trip, but I feel like it’s complete already. I just wish I had been better prepared

choose to be happy

I am a moody person. Most of the time, I don't understand myself or what Im feeling, and cant exactly explain the reasons. Sometimes, there are no reasons, just moods and feelings.
It has made life more difficult than it should be. How do I address a problem if I dont know what the problem is? How do I pick myself up from a down moment if I cant identify the cause?
And so I have tried to just cope. Coping has worked for me, so far. Im still alive and functioning. But I know that something is missing.
Lately, I have tried a new strategy. Whatever mood hits me, I try to choose to be happy.
I say "I try", because I haven't mastered the strategy yet. I think it's a skill you learn over time.
It isn't easy... and haven't always worked - yet.
But I think that trying to be happy, even if you cant find a reason to be, is still better than staying miserable, even when there's every reason to.

Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater,
- Give her a house she will give you a home,
- Give her groceries she will give you a meal,
- Give her a smile she will give you her heart.
She multiplies and enlarges what she is given.
So if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit.

Ronald, a college friend of mine, died last Sunday. I got the news at around 10:00 in the evening, texted to me by a common friend.
My initial reaction was blankness - WHAT DID SHE SAY??? After a few seconds, I re-read the message and I thought - could this be real? But it sounded too sick to be a joke, even a terribly bad one.
It took me a while to absorb the news and was only able to reply to our common friend the next day. She told me he went home at around 3am Sunday morning after a night out with friends, went to bed, and never woke up.
JUST LIKE THAT. His life was over in a snap.
He was only 29 years old. He was supposed to turn 30 this year. This was supposed to be a milestone in his life, a turning point, malapit na sya mawala sa kalendaryo. It was a common joke among our friends - we dreaded turning 30. Or at least, it used to be, back when we were in college.
But a lot has changed since then. We graduated and started our own careers, each taking a path way different from the other. We failed to keep in touch. I failed to keep in touch.
I didnt even know he changed his nickname from Ronald or Nald to "RJ". I didnt know he changed his number twice last year. I didnt recognize him when he greeted me last Christmas. I didn't get to talk to him then, cause I didnt know he was the one who greeted me.
I'm sorry.
In my mind, you are still the makulit Nald who used to tease me whenever we met in the hallway, the same Nald who made my thesis-research days less boring as you made cracks at everyone in the library, the same Nald who always caused the librarian to sush us as we tried to control our giggles, the same Nald who kept telling us not to take life too seriously, because it's meant to be enjoyed.
You're right, Nald. As you said, "Life is shorts, so wear pants" nga di ba?
Ronald, pare, the group will have a get together next week in your memory. And we'll be singing this song for you...
Like a comet
Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone too soon
Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon
Shiny and sparkly
And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night
Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon
Like a castle
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soon
Like a perfect flower
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soon
Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight
Here one day
Gone one night
Like a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soon
Gone too soon
Thank you for making us laugh. Thank you for being a bright light for everyone around you. Thank you for lighting up our skies, even for just a while.
Goodbye for now, Ronald.... 'Til we meet again...

What you want, you run away from;
What you need, you dont have a clue;
What you've accomplished makes you proud...
But you're still miserable

positive thinking doesnt always work

I've been on an optimistic roll for the past few weeks. I guess it's because that's when I began to appreciate singlehood again, which most of all meant being able to enjoy quality time with family and friends.
Since I was happy and full of positive aura, I wanted everyone around me to be happy too . As I mentioned in one of my earlier blogs, I have this friend who was depressed before Christmas. I kept cheering him up and telling him to just think positively and things will work out.
I read somewhere that positive thoughts attract positive elements and influence positive events in our lives and I told him that. He said that it doesnt work that way - our high school teacher taught us opposites attract, so positive thoughts will attract negative events  .
I just laughed him off and stuck to my belief. But today, I wonder if he's right. Despite my positive thoughts and high hopes for the new year, I've been having a series of bad luck lately 
A couple of days ago, my laptop power adaptor wouldnt work. And since there's no similar item available, I had to buy a new one, which cost me an instant 4,000  .
Yesterday, I took out my winter jackets from the deepest ends of my closet for cleaning in preparation for my trip. I accidentally left the black jacket side by side with the tan colored jacket for a while and when I got back, the tan jacket had ugly black marks across the back 
And today, my left index finger got caught on the drawer as I was closing it and I'm faced with the possibility of having a dead fingernail on Valentine's day
Im starting to dread the coming days...
