scratch(my fave song)

It's a big girl world now. Full of big girl things and everyday I wish I was small. I've been counting on nothing . But he keeps giving me his word and I am tired of hearing myself speak. Do you ever get weary?Do you ever get weak?How do you dream When you can't fall asleep?I've been wondering what you're thinking. And if you like my dress tonight?Would you still say you love me. Under this ordinary moonlight?I'm so afraid of what you'll say.I'd like to know if you'd be open to starting over from scratch. I'd like to know if you'd be open to giving me a second chance. I used to think I was special. And only I have proved me wrong. I thought I could change . The world with a song but I have ended up in India. With no lamp to guide me home.The strangest place I think I have ever beenAnd all this timeI thought that we were friends.My stubborn will is learning to bend. I'd like to know if you'd be open to starting over from scratch. I'd like to know if you'd be open to giving me a second chance. I'd like to know if you'd be open to starting over from scratch. I'd like to know if you'd be open to giving me a second chance.It's a big girl world now full of big girl things

would you ever dare to bring back time??

as a person, i did a lot of mistakes. mistakes that i wished i didn't do. there are times in my life where in i reminisce and wished i could bring back the things and stuffs that I wish i never did. I use to have some picture in mind and "redo" whatever I did then correct them, and, in my mind, i know that its gonna lead into something good. but when i come back to my senses I'll then realize that it has something good in it. the mistake i did has a purpose. everything i did has a purpose. either its bad or good. I realize, that if I didn't do those mistakes then I wouldn't learn and be a better person that I guess i am now. yeah, sort of a better nee-neen then I was before the mistake I did.

so, I guess, I wouldn't bring back time, yeah, i think, i'll never bring it back again. Im happy with the mistake i did. well, not that happy. i become happy because I know that it does have a purpose. then, i'd wipe my tears, smile again, then eat icecream and Im good to go... to learn and be happy once more.. =)=)

i found my phone! =P

i woke up late because of this super-weird dream i had last night. imagine, there were like 3 roses.. weird! valentines is fast approching kay siguro. but why was it roses?? hehehehe... i was so apprehensive about my sort-of-lost-phone this day. but when i went home. i found it in my computer. *sigh* at least i gave my beloved cellphone a chance to rest naman.. now, im acting like an idiot na tlga.. hehehe.. well, I have to study Chem. By this I mean.. I'll study it on my own. weee.. kaya ko kaya? i don't know.. basta, "think positive"..

this is my life =P

My life?

It isn't easy to explain. It has not been the rip-roaring spectacular I fancied it would be, but neither have I burrowed around with the gophers. My life's fairly stable, more ups than downs, and gradually trending upward over time. I know that not everyone can say this about her life. But do not be misled. I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common girl with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. And I've loved one way or another. =P

I am someone who has a lot of secrets about me.. yeah.. what you see is what you get.. but honestly, not all the time.. usually, people misinterpret my actions and decisions because what I decide are contrast with what others decide.. i mean, im only 14.. I am still in the process of learning.. I ain't perfect, I've got few experiences and I guess everything only started this year.. uh, last year I mean.. well, I don't blame anyone cause as far as I know, these risks are my decisions.. I decided to do this things and it all turned out to be positive naman.. hehehehe... Sometimes, the friends i know backstab me or say anything behindy my back.. yeah, I know who they are.. but then I don't mind them.. as what Father said, "silence is one of the hardest arguments to refuke." So, if you know that you are saying mean things behind my back, I do know that you do say bad stuffs behind my back.. But the hell I care, I have my true friends which are far more important than you..

I am quite the happy person.. but Im not the happy-go-lucky type... I do my luck.. I love listening to "emo" songs.. songs lang hah.. whenever i emote.. hahaha.. the songs are so sad eh.. so it matches what I feel..

well, this is me.. for short: Im Imperfect. I make Mistakes. But I am Happy. Perfect. =)=P

have you seen my phone??

has anyone seen my damn phone?... i woke up at 7 this morning.. and I was in a hurry to check if everything's in my pocket.. i can't even remember where i left my phone.. its true, im obssesed with it and I can't have one whole day pass me by without texting and making "sulit" with this overpriced "UNLI".. Its just that.. there are a lot of secrets in it.. and if my mom finds out some of the messages in there this might mean the end of our relationship with my cellphone.. damn me.. I should've erased the messages in there.. im pathetic right now.. and I can't concentrate.. i can't concentrate because I don't know where i left it... but if its with my mom right now.. im so "dead".. so right now, im preparing my so-called-speech.. what I should tell her.. waaaaa... i promise that I'll never forget to alarm my clock.. i was so sleepy and tired lastnight that's why I wasn't able to alarm my clock... =(

my first entry

blogging? i have no idea about this stuffs.. well i've heard about it from my best-est friend Joanna... I think she has one and i guess everyone has one too... but come to think of it.. I've absolutely no interest whatsoever with this thing called "blogging".. but hey, after reading my classmates "oh-so-cool-blogs"... i've realized that it wasn't that bad at all..

well, since this is my first entry.. maybe i'll make kwento muna kung what nangyari this day.. as usual, same routine lang naman ako.. i wake up.. then do the usual stuffs.. go to school.. recess.. have lunch then go home.. study then kiss my mom goodnight.. hahaha... but Im glad naman.. wait, its wednesday, which means my fave show Grey's Anatomy is on tv.. yahoo!

i hope that something good will happen tomorrow.. =P
