SELF ESTEEM

I remember when I used to chat on AA and profile hits boosted my ego. It still does, here on FilCa, but not as much. Is it ok for girls to build their self-esteem thru how boys pay attention to them? In a way, I guess it's ok. Not entirely. Here comes the cliche, esteem should come from within. That's why it's called 'self' esteem. No body should ever feel inferior just because the opposite sex don't pay as much attention to them, especially when the world's just full of shallow people who are interested in physical appearances. I've been on both sides.

TRUST

Remember when your parents used to not trust you? (I do) It's the most annoying feeling in the world. I believe my parents and I are now in better terms. But I'm still untrusted by someone else. It's the most annoying feeling in the world. People who can't trust me after a year can fuck off.

LIVING LIKE YOU'RE SINGLE

What's wrong with it? When a person's in a relationship, why do people expect him/her to see that person, almost always, with his/her partner? I mean, they're not married.

CELL PHONES

Can you live without it? Of course we all know the answer, yes! Lately I've been leaving my cellphone at home, and I must say, it's quite liberating, like going commando. I mean, I really don't need one. I live in a city where payphones are ubiquitous.

GETTING HITCHED EARLY

Would I be correct if I said marrying early has the advantage of getting things your way at a young age; eg: getting your dream house etc., having your kids go to college early, therefore you get to live your life earlier than most people...provided of course you work for it.

ONE PLUS ONE EQUALS?

If two people in a relationship came from a generally fucked up family, will their relationship be as meaningful compared to a) two people who came from a generally 'ok' family b) one of the persons come from a really fucked up family and the other one comes from a well rounded family (at least there's a balance)? Or will they just strive to work things out eventually ending up with a fucked up relationship? Or will it be - + - = +?

I put these thoughts in my journal because they are MY thoughts. I don't want to start threads regarding these topics.

Without A Paddle?
I've been waiting to watch this movie...finally, last night on DVD.

SEEETH GREEEEN! I wub yu. Hahah ew. Well he's funny, from Austin Powers, to Family Guy, to this.

I vote for this movie as the funniest for 2004. ^_^

Meet The Fockers ranking 2nd. Heheh.

That or I didn't see much movies in 2004.

Forlorn?
I miss being alone.

I think every person needs time to her/himself, if not all the time, then once in a while.

Time to unwind...

I like being alone. Or perhaps I'm just a loner at heart.

Long Weekends
Ooooh how I love long weekends...I can get used to this! Hmmm, when's the next one?!

Hmmm, I seem to have a knack for timing...a month later?

First of all, I would like to express my deep sadness for all the people in Asia who's suffering from that tsunami...over 50k people. Even Superman couldn't have saved all.

Second, Pat...may your soul rest in peace. Even though we didn't know each other for a long time, I know you were a nice person when you were still with us.

Third, I'm still sick! I got sick right when I came back, my boyfriend says it's psychosomatic, fiiiine! Thanks for the phone by the way, heheheh, Motorola V400 :o)

So I'm back from Oahu. 2 weeks of paradise...I'll list what I did and post the link so whoever would like to see the pix can.
