Oz so far...

11:00 PM

I surfed today which has been like my ultimate dream ever since seeing blue crush and getting bombarded with all those nonchalantly fun and sexy roxy ads..and then I lay out..in the cold but still gorgeous Gong beach! It's literally a 1 minute drive from Jace's house here! I love Oz! I don't want to go home!!!!

And I went around the city too and did the usual touristy things! Oz is loooveeee!

Another one bites the dust...

1:17 AM

Today, I found out another one of my friends has gone along and done it. Rather, it was done to her.

Is it in the air? In the season? Or maybe it's this gene that they have.

Another one bites the dust. When will it be my turn? Or rther, the more apt question is will it ever be me?

Funny Money

1:11 AM

Money is weird. When you need it soo badly, it eludes you, hides its green face. It teases you, and makes you go nuts from utter sadness, sheer frustration. It makes you rant and moan on the unfairness of the universe, and how it makes you it's more tragic victim!

The other side of the coin is that it mysteriously shows up and decides to take residence in your wallet and bank account when you don't look for it and adapt a come what may attitude.

Is this what Coehlo was talking about in The Alchemist? About the powers of the universe and how things meant for you eventually find its way to you?

I'm puzzled if my mantra should be I want money or I don't really care about it.

I'm not complaining,ok, I'm just confused.

It's confirmed, I'm leaving for Oz on Friday! Yayyyyyyy!!!

But before I get to do that, it seems like there's a million and one things that I have to do! It's probably the first time that i've "traveled" as an adult meaning, taking care of everything- from the funds, to the visa processing, ticket reservations blah blah bkah.. I'll tell you one thing, it's exhausting!! But I'm excited nonetheless!

No rest for the weary cos I'm going to Oz on Friday! Yayyyyyy

The Off Season

10:51 PM

When Jason left, I didn't feel like going out at all. It was as if the concept was no longer fun for me. I guess it was the timing of everything too, Christmas and its round of parties had just come and gone and everyone was sort of partied out.

Now, it's been 4 months or so, and I wonder if I have settled to the comfortable life of not really going out. I really don't ache to be somewhere, or anywhere than home on Friday and Saturday nights. I've become accepting and ok with the idea of going to bed at a decent hour. I sometimes miss the "thrill" of finding something fabulous to wear, but to be perfectly honest, not so much.

Don't get me wrong, I miss my friends, and the sometimes crazy events that transpire when everybody is about, and maybe just a little tipsy (on coffee) or more. It seems though that my crazy threshold has lowered significantly in the last months or so.As of late, I find myself content with a skype chat for catching up, and smiling over pictures of their latest rendezvous, genuinely happy for their good times, but being content with not having "joined in" at the same time.

I don't know if this is just me hibernating for the off season. Or if my seasons have been turned off permanently a.k.a I really am old.

These days, I'm happiest just traipsing around the house, gallivanting with my sisters, cousins and the rest of my sometimes crazy, but mostly normal family, and living through everyone else via their facebook pictures.

There really is nothing else left to see except we'll hafta see if this off season really does hold up, or if its just another long, albeit passing phase!

trees and some mexican

7:53 PM

i read somewhere today that if the world goes at the rate that its going on overconsumption and pollution, our water supply could be compromised as early as 20 years from now!

20 years! WTF! That's still in my lifetime. I don't think they're exaggerating too, It's unbelievable how hot this summer is, and when its not its raining, which is weird for this time of the year! As i told my sister yesterday, "it just doesn't feel like the summers we grew up in".

anyway, the article scared me to bits that i now want to plant trees, or conserve what energy i can. i suffered through the afternoon, resisting the urge to turn on the air conditioning, reasoning out that this could be my bit to offset the energy my laptop was using up. now it's hot, i'm sweaty and sticky and my neck and underarms (so sorry, it's going to be a gross one) remotely smell like pinakurat! eeewww!

oh, and somehow the heat translated to cravings of mexican food, and jollibee overload fries (but when do i never crave this?!) or maybe some zao! i want food!

i'm thinking of planting something tomorrow in the vain hope that somehow a tiny mongo seed could help a little to offset the pollution i'm contributing to the world.

and if if my trip to oz land pushes through, i'm thinking planting a real tree might be in order to offset the environmental tax of the plane trip.

i am well aware that i sound a bit off, but i can't help it! the article really did freak me out! so sue me!
