"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it oepns up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love."

Waiting for PR853
I’m here at the airport. Flying back to Cebu today. I’m so freakin’ sleepy. I thought my flight was at 7:30am so I woke up at 5:30am this morning, only to check my ticket and find out that I was on the 9:30 flight. My dad was bringing me to the airport and I was too ashamed to admit that I had gotten my flight wrong so I told him it was 8:30am instead. So I’ve been here since 7:00am. Stupid me. Note to self: For all future flights, check your ticket the night before.
I’ve got this really bad case of cough. I rarely get sick that’s why I hate this painful, scratchy throat. Plus, it’s so inconvenient. I hope I get rid of it. Soon.
Last June 3rd, I graduated from my 2-year MISE Program. Many people, myself included, have now shifted to a new rhetorical question: What now?
Technically, I should be expatriated sometime between August 2006 and early 2007. Available jobs for my MISE batch will only be available starting the 1st of August, therefore I would not know where I’m going or what my position is going to be before this date.
Sometimes it saddens me when I think about how, in the past two years, I’ve rarely stayed put in one place, due to the nature of my employment. My life has become so mobile that I feel like I am always on the run, always on the way to somewhere else, and it tires me at times. But when I complain about it, people always say that’s the price I pay for everything that I’m enjoying now.
Favorite line that comes to mind: They never said it would be easy; they only said it will be worth it.
