i need you, but i don't..... ???
mini gripe session starts... NOW! }} I am sick. I am tired. I am sick and tired of people telling me how busy I am. no shit! i know! folks need to let me be. leave me the f*ck alone. lemme handle mine. and you handle yours. k. {{ end session

Lauryn Hill - Tell Him Let me be patient. Let me be kind. Make me unselfish without being blind, Though I may suffer, I'll envy it not and endure what comes cause he's all that I got and tell him... Tell him I need him. Tell him I love him, and it'll be alright. Now I may have faith to make mountains fall, but if I lack love then I am nothin' at all. I can give away everything I possess,b ut left without love, then I have no happiness. I know I'm imperfect & not without sin, but now that I'm older all childish things end and tell him... Tell him I need him. Tell him I love him, and it'll be alright. I'll never be jealous, and I won't be too kind cause love is not boastful and love is not loud. Tell him I need him. Tell him I love him. Everything's gonna be alright. Now I may have wisdom and knowledge on Earth, but if I speak wrong then what is it worth? See what we now know is nothing compared to the love that was shown when our lives were spared and tell him... Tell him I need him. Tell him I love him, and it'll be alright.

What about your friends...
will they stand their ground?
will they let you down?
will they ever be around?
will they turn their back on you?

KAIROS XIX
KAIROS XIX. Jamie's going on it!! yay, lil sis! yay! i'm so excited for her!! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! {{ haven't done THAT in awhile.

So all your kairos folks out there. you know what to do!

sigh. some of my fondest high school memories are of my kairos experiences. first, as a retreatant on XIV. and then as the rectora of XV. mmmmmm... warm fuzzies!

i'm all happy all of a sudden. this is so cool! i'm sitting here, with my DC takeout (a burger, some popcorn shrimp!!, a brownie and some kiwis!), in a cooler room, listening to my chill music, and thinking about happy times at San Damiano!

utter contentment... yes, that's me.

the days are getting shorter and my hair needs to get longer
i'm starting to miss my long hair. not that i'm not diggin the shorter hair, but it's just in a weird phase. cuz it's not the haircut i first got, and i don't wanna deal w/ the up-keep, and i don't wanna trim it cuz it'd prolong the elongating process that i so desperately(sp??) am in need of...ok, not soooo desperately. eh, you know what i mean.

it's getting colder. the longer hair would help at this point, yeah?

it rained.... random, i know. but now it's all sun-shiny! yay!

i have a big big BIIIIIGGGGG midterm tomorrow in MATH 53 (that's multivariable calculus for you non-Cal folks.)

i'm studying w/ a group today! yes! group work motivation... it never goes wrong.

i'm hungry! the DC opens at 10:30. i should go. maybe i'll bring my books: eat and study! ooo what a combo!
mmmmmmmm waffles. food makes me so happy!


oy, i need to go to church at some point today, too. ack! not enough hours in the day! not enough hours in the day!

Jumbled up thoughts about my first year

ok so i'm gonna start this now. and i will be done @ 1:00PM. (hopefully) well... i will be for now.

this may be very confusing for you to read or understand, but this is mainly for me and for my memory. it works in my head, so it's all good for me. so here goes.

my first year at cal:

so busy. so many "commitments".

DUAL LIVES!

much on my plate. much to live up to. lots on my shoulders. external pressures. internal pressures. struggles to hold on.

hold onto friends.

hold onto loves.

hold onto hobbies.

hold onto faith and family.

hold onto me.

denial. resistance. heartbreak. let go.

acceptance.

pilipino. female. engineer. sister. daughter. friend. student. person. me.

what am i fighting for? what is my purpose? am i good enough? do i belong? who is my community? who am i?

what does it mean when....?

if.... then...?

ah! just go!

amazing experiences. amazing people. breath-taking views. awe-inspiring moments. revelations abounding.

fully emoting. flowing forth. total joy. purity. innocence. love. so open.

so vulnerable. so free.

something i never knew before. a feeling i never felt before.

so in love. so loved.

moving ever onward.

(will complete/edit/polish later...)
