Egg-xhausting January 31, 2007

Responsibility. A thing most people take for granted. And I am most people. I put-off what I can for the fun stuff… and I am slowly (very slowly) learning that it’s not really good.
But I know when I am overdoing it.
Or do I?
Incandescent January 28, 2007
Posted by Mayee in : Daily Babble , add a commentI love the lighting of a dim, yellowish incandescent lamp when I’m up at around 1 in the morning, finishing up on my cramming or just plain doing nothing at all. It makes the room conducive for relaxation, and, more often than not, utter insomnia over the million thoughts running through my brain.
Speaking of Insomnia, I was reading up on the strange yet fascinating phenomenon that is the midnight sun (or “polar day” in some places). I wonder what it’d be like having the sun up all day and all night. I guess sleep would be something you could choose to do anytime of the day, seeing as darkness during the night would be a problem if you chose to live your life at that time. And then I’d think about that line I heard for the first time from Gustav Graves, that bad guy from a James Bond movie, “You only get one shot at life, why waste it on sleep?” It made so much sense to me, that I seriously changed how I saw sleep. If I could survive on sleeping less than 5 hours a day, I’d definitely do it.. not that I have any choice being in college and everything.
On to more interesting and insomnia-exclusive topics! (because I do think of other things besides my severe insomnia) Lovelife.
Why is it that the measure of how close you are with a person is how much you know of their lovelife? That being a stupid question of course. Intro lang naman, don’t worry, this is just equally boring as all the rest of my posts…. So what do you do when you know you’ve reached a dead end but you can’t let go of your feelings? (The answer would be, to let go!) But no, that’s just a too-simple answer to the complicated phenomenon that is love, or that which we claim is love.
Here are some answers I have collected over a series of well, unintended interviews.
“What do people do when they know they’ve hit a dead end / brick wall yet can’t let go of their feelings?”
1. You go on feeling what you feel yet you turn to another direction and living your life with a heavy burden you can’t let go of.
2. You crash right through that wall as if it wasn’t there and then end up realizing you hurt yourself badly doing it.
3. (My personal favorite, thanks Jays, nakakainspire) “What do you mean can’t let go? It’s a matter of will-power. You can always let go. It’s when you choose not to let go that you get hurt. You can let go, move on, and even though there’ll always be some masakit factor, it’s gonna be a lot less than hanging on to nothing.” Woah talaga, woah.
And it’s 2 am. Catcha next post.
Fresh January 28, 2007
Posted by Mayee in : Daily Babble , add a commentWhy have I left my old blog? Coz I’m getting bored reading about the same things over and over and over again. Everyday, ranting about the same stuff. It’s getting kinda old. I’d read my archives from 2 years ago and I’d see not that much difference. It was as if I was the same person when in fact I have undergone many a dramatic change.
So here’s to sharing the newer, better (I hope), and whatever else-er me. =)
NEW YEAR NEW LIFE January 21, 2007
Posted by Mayee in : Daily Babble , add a comment   I WANT TO START ANEW. ERGOOOO, I SHALL START A NEW CHAPTER IN THIS BLOG.
But since I don’t want to move or anything, or delete my previous entries, I shall just consider this the marker for my “new living” Okee?
Drift January 21, 2007
Posted by Mayee in : Daily Babble , add a commentI’m Drifting.
I haven’t been updating this blog not because I have no time (although wala talaga) but because I have nothing to write. The millions of thoughts in my head are like the rough tides of a sea during a storm.. I can’t think clearly now.
I have, however, been crazing over “Princess Hours” lately, thanks to my roommates. It’s the first time for me to be watching this kind of show but I kind of like it for some unexplainable reasons. *Hold for audience boo*
“how long till my soul gets it right?.. can any human being ever reach that kind of light?”
hai. my thoughts are all random now. I’ll update some other time.
Raging January 13, 2007
Posted by Mayee in : Daily Babble , 2commentsThe contents of this blog have recently been used to unjustly accuse me of having been irresponsible. Well let me just say, that was ALL A PART OF THE ENG’G WEEK EXPERIENCE AND HOW DARE YOU TAKE AGGRESSIVE ACTION AGAINST IT WITHOUT HAVING EVEN TALKED TO ME ABOUT IT? Argh.
There. I just let out some of the overwhelming and surprisingly surprising rage that caused a temporary shock-state for my nerves last Tuesday.
On to more important things.. I have recently been going crazy reviewing and studying. Yes, dear folks, me.. studying. And not just studying.. but late-night cramming.. which has caused some minor headaches here and there.. but has proven to be somewhat effective. For once in my tragedy-ridden life I have gotten an 80% on a Recit Exam with minor thanks to luck (not saying I haven’t gotten better than that. haha). *smirk* Plus, I had several exams this week to drive me to the brink of sanity. So there, the new and reformed me. Or, sort of, at least.
Speaking of reformation, I noticed I’ve been spending less time at our org’s tambayan.. and more time in the dorm. ack! I’ve become nerdy! I haven’t seen much of my friends (HUY JOELLE ASAN KA NA? IKA’Y NAGLAHO! HAHA), and I’ve been low on the extra-curricular activities. I guess I still have a hangover from vacation mode.. I’m too lazy to fix up my social life. Good grief. Acads muna. Party na ulit sa summer.
Eep, I’m scaring myself. And even more scarier, I have to cut this entry short because I have to finish a 31-problem-long problem set which is due on Wednesday, same day as my Physics and CS32 long exams. Rarr. Good morning.
watch!:
Happy New Year January 2, 2007
Posted by Mayee in : Daily Babble , 1 comment so farI guess it just took the company of my friends to make me realize that no matter how crazy and fudged up life is, the company of people can make it a little less unbearable.
more pics in my multiply.
A FEW WORDS TO HONOR THE LATE 2006.
I guess I could say my 2006 has been a good year for me. I’ve learned a lot, seen a lot, and changed a lot over this year. I’m definitely not the same person I was this time last year. And I dont regret much.. because everything that’s happened has lead me to this point. (eeps, agaw ng linya from a movie.. haha) It’s not exactly perfect, and there’s A LOT of room for improvement, but it’s good. =)
Anyway, it’s a new year, and I’m wishing I could juice 2007 it for all it’s worth. (yes, cliche but honest) Plus, I can feel time flying by. It’s so fast that it’s actually overwhelming to think about. So I will devote less time to blogging my life and more time to actually living it. But that’s not really a goodbye. You’ll still see a lot of me here.. yep, definitely a lot.. but less.. =P
So yeah, happy new year to all of ya out there. An exciting new adventure lies ahead for all of us.
