Irritable Me
The last couple of days, I was sort of looking for a fight. Well, I was still my usual happy self but deep inside of me, I was itching for a fight. I was so irritable. Every little single thing, I seem to mind. Sometimes, I do have a point but then again, I need not argue it to the point of squashing it to a pulp.
===============================
Running across my mind while I was in a conference and listening to the presentations:
"Why didn't this guy put his presentation in a landscape format??? He should use up all the space in the screen!"
"Who chose the color of his texts??? It's neon green! He should have known better than to put a neon green there!" (Later, I realized that there was a problem with the projector itself. I was already calm at that time so I did not rant and say something about having a back-up projector.)
===============================
From a text message:
I texted someone "I miss you" because I did. I received no reply. So I forgot about it.
After two days, a reply arrived: "You miss me? Why is that?"
BONK! I was so mad! Hello, it's a feeling! Do I have to explain every single thing I feel?! Is this person sooo dense?!
Oh well, irrational, I know.
===============================
The other day, I was at a friend's advance Christmas party. As I've brought my camera with me, I took lots of pictures. The next day, after I finished downloading the pictures, we noticed that there were a lot of pictures taken of this one guy from our office. I realized that the guy was always asking me to take his picture. Since I didn't mind at all, I did and naturally, he got a lot of pictures from my camera. For me, it was really nothing but there's this another guy who's been maliciously implying something else, something like me liking this guy. At first, I really didn't mind at all but he kept on repeating phrases like
"oh, i bet you really like him... i'd bet you liked taking his pictures... etc."
Well, he just didn't know me at all! Once, twice, I can take any jokes but when said maliciously, I'm sorry but I'll hit back at you and that is what I just did. Know what I said?
"What is it to you anyway? Maybe you are just jealous because I took his pictures and not yours. Or maybe you just wanted to be the one to take and keep the pictures, huh?!"
Oh! That and my raised eyebrow shut him up! I hate guys like that! More gossip than females.

While in EDSA yesterday, I discovered one thing:
Pinoys can't drive in a straight line. Everybody keeps on swerving. It was scary.

Taken from Exams
In an exam when I was in my undergrad years, I came across this and ever since, I haven't forgotten it.
If you want to be seen
Stand up
If you want to be heard
Speak up
If you want to be appreciated
Shut up.
Another one during my college application exam:
I believe in the sun, even when it is not shining.
I believe in love even when feeling it not.
I believe in God even when God is silent.

Travel Pictures: Corregidor Island
A few years ago, my friends and I started this list of places we want to visit. Since we were earning measly salaries for being RAs at school, we can only cross the names on our list, one at a time. The first trip we made, as far as I can remember, was our guided weekend tour trip at the island of Corregidor, which was a major battle area during the World War II. These are some of our pictures from that trip...

Weddings and Pictures
A close friend of mine got married a week or so ago. I cannot but only feel so honored to be part of their very special day. It was a very lovely wedding and even if I have to wear a dress (which I loathe to do for anything else), no one can stop me from attending this one special occasion. Again, I just have to say that it was really a beautiful wedding amidst a very diverse attendees and very colorful entourage. There were a lot of pictures taken but I guessed I got too happy posing for the camera I forgot to take my own. Here are a few of the pictures I was able to take with my camera...
To my dear friends, thanks for a memorable day! I won't be able to look at champagne, wine and beer the same way again! Cheers!
