NIWIS Part II et autre
More soul-searching? So nothing is what it seems now. Everything I believed before, everyone I believed in before, they're all so different now. Is it me? No, I'm not playing victim nor am I playing the bad guy. I'm asking, was I that oblivious? Was I too much tuned into myself? And who do I ask to find the answer. It's not like I'm going to like the answer when I find it. In fact, I already know what it is. And being the stubborn creature that I am, I know I won't even consider changing. Maybe continuing on like this isn't so bad. I really don't have to know everything. Some things are better esoteric. Perhaps, the problem relies on how I react to new found information as oppose to having know-it-all-ism. I should just welcome new knowledge, yeah? Instead of plaguing myself why I didn't know certain things beforehand. Hmmm, but, yes but, I don't like being left in the dark. Still, it's a two-way street. Ok, compromise, I'll try to be more aware, less trusting bwahahah no, more aware and I can't really blame myself if people don't want to open up to me. Really, if they think it's none of my business, they're probably right. I don't like sticking my nose in somebody else's business. Going back to the compromise, I'll try not to feel betrayed when I find new information. There.

About my dream two nights ago, the end of the world? It wasn't anything like they describe Armageddon...basta. It started out(well as far as I remember) with my walking outside. The street was pretty busy. We (the people outside) all started to head inside the closest building, somehow knowing we would be safer inside. Something was happening. Apparently the building had huge glass windows with blinds and curtains. I remember going around the crowd telling them to stay away from the windows because the wind blows hard and might break them. Ew slivers!

In order for everything to go back to normal, we had to go against a monster. Like a demolition derby! We were separated into groups of 3-4 and we had to fight a monster. A robotic monster. And we get judged, like from American IdolWell! What matters is we didn't die. Dreams don't have to make sense.

I love getting profile hits. But it's another thing when the same member visits everyday without leaving messages. What is it? What do you want? Is it something in my journal? I know I put some helpful information about Philippines in one of my entries. That better be it. Ayayayaaaaaa Delilahhhh!!!

Nothing Is What It Seems.
I'm at that stage where (see title)...Have I always been this oblivious? Yes? No? Maybe?

For the past two days I've been waking up every two hours...

It's not funny. And I've been having warped dreams. The other night I dreamt I was in Bicol, which btw, I love. Then last night, I dreamt, it was the end of the world...I'd like to elaborate more later.

Left Eye...Right Eye...
When I talk to someone, I tend to look at their left eye until I feel a bit sleepy, then I switch to their right eye. What about you? Which part of their face do you look at? HAH!!! SAVED!!! You were gonna say boobs and or crotch weren't you? Punk.

I Miss Philippines
I haven't visited in almost 11 years, half my age. And if I keep missing work, then I might not be able to this year, again. Up yours TZ!

Anyway, while I'm away from my homeland, I might as well learn a few things about it.

Here's one disappointing fact I found on this link... http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/rp.html

It's disappointing to me because some people don't understand that OFWs are not out there to hurt our economy. And it's disappointing to me to understand that we have to rely on our fellow Filipinos who had to leave to protect our economy from financial crises such as the one from 1998.

"The Philippines was less severely affected by the Asian financial crisis of 1998 than its neighbors, aided in part by annual remittances of $6-7 billion from overseas workers."

I wonder what would've happened if OFWs never sent $$$ to their families. Well of course we have some idea, but would we really know?

***Hopefully I remember all of these by the end of June. Incidently, our 'independence day' is June 12, 1898. Bullshit.

Our independence day is suppose to be July 4, 1946. This is when we became 'independent' from US. How come we don't celebrate it on July 4? I mean we were still under another country's regime until then.

Bah, what am I complaining about, it's not like we're totally autarchical now anyway.

Grabe, has it been almost a month since I posted? Anyway, I'm sleepy and I'm at work. Just wanted to let the readers know I'm still alive that's why I'm posting now. I'll post later if I'm not too tired.
