dreamland

i am happy. to borrow den's word 'not exactly insanely happy' but i try to be. for one, i regained the capacity to dream again. and for someone who lives in her 'make-believe' world often, it is a indeed a big deal.

i've been a happy child. i can't even remember if i had a phase of 'imaginary world and friends' when i was younger. i had too many playmates, my cousins, and my parents used to play with me. but as i grow older and realized that the real world can be cruel at times, i discovered my escape route... off to my own world.

so when the real, oftentimes cruel, world took over, i became lost and depressed.

i’m gaining it back now. i’m happy.

thanks heavens. ^_^

Eight Things People MIGHT Not Know About Me ^_^

As tagged by ladyholden ^_^

1. I don't belong to any organized religion. Yey, my bad. But yes, in my heart, I don't belong to any of those. I believe in God, don't get me wrong but somehow, I wish that there would be a church that is 'non-sectarian'... I mean, a church that doesn't delineate and differentiate between organized sects and 'religions. Just a church that preach the words of one God just as it is without biases, talk of faith and just let you be. I believe that there are only one God. I know that some of my friends are really uncomfortable when I talk about this and some are even bothered but... *shrugs* someday, I'll find my earth-bound sheperd.

2. I hate it when people read behind my back... you know, snooping on my emails, my posts, stories, text messages etc, etc and just about everything personal... you know what i mean.

3. I am naturally introvert and a snob. I am very private though I may not look it. I think that my friendster account is too crowded although people tell me 'konti nga lang ang friends ko' hehe bakit ba kasi...

4. I really don't fancy chinito at maputing guys... ask Den and Kat. But that was before Lee Dong Wook, Gong Yoo and Bae Yung Joon. hehehe Now I'm a convert.

5. I'd like to learn other language and be able to fluently speak it. I mean, unlike when I took up Spanish just so I'd have an elective... I want to learn other languages and be able to converse in that language. List includes: Irish-Gaelic (w/c is next to impossible), French, Spanish, Italian, Mandarin, Nihonggo and Korean. I can speak, read and write English, Filipino and Ilocano na eh... and just about bits of other Filipino dialects hehehe

6. I really don't like big groups. I prefer small, intimate group of friends though I'd want to belong to organizations too. But on personal level, suplada ako. I choose who to be friends with...I know, sorry.

7. Just like Thet, I'm sipunin though baliktad yata. When I'm puyat, sisipunin ako though minsan parang si Thet din, when I'm having a long night, my sipon is like my warning device na kapag sinipon na, dapat matulog na ako.

8. I constantly change my toiletries. You know I don't have any brand loyalty when it comes to bath soap, facial wash, body wash, body scrub, shampoo, conditioner, deodorants though I have this "default' brands na kung sawa na ako sa lahat, dun ako babalik like Jonhson's baby lotion (the pink one), head and shoulder's shampoo and pantene conditioner (siguro nga in a way dun nga loyalty ko hehehe

PS. It's fun doing this but I'm not gonna tag anyone. Bahala na yung gusto rin itong sagutin hehehe
