leaving....

Everyone's going places now...Aileen, Melody and Andrew are going to Beijing. Tara's leaving for the US. There are probably other people I know who may be leaving that I don't know about.
It's one of the things that is inevitable. We are growing up. We are now in the stage of our lives where we are not bound to stay in one place to comfortably finish our studies. We now can go to wherever we want...as long as our finances don't go dry. haha

Good luck to everybody! I envy you guys! Although, yeah, if circumstances permit, I might also be leaving in the near future. haha

am currently watching Lover's in Prague. It's nice, although it lacks the excitement that Lovers in Paris had. I don't like the guy who plays the detective. His facial expressions are kinda stoic. The major thing I don't like about Lovers in Prague is the fact that Yoon Jae-Hee can't seem to just go steady with one guy. She meets with her ex even when she "likes" Detective Choi. It's just too awkward.

after the longest time...

Met up with my friends in high school on Saturday night. We went to Burgoo at Rockwell. It was great seeingeverybody again. It seems that we've all grown up in the short time since we graduated from high school. Everybody has become older, wiser, yet in some way things were almost like they were in high school. The night was real fun with all the cameras and picture taking. It was almost like grad night.

Aileen: Hey there! GOod luck in Beijing! Have fun! Beijing is a really great experience. Its a chance to get in touch with our Chinese roots and understand the culture we come from more.

Went to Red Box with Atsi Sheree, Dorothy, Abbie , Ahiya Jerome and Atsi Bernice yesterday afternoon. It was so much fun! It was my first time to go to a KTV. hehe

thoughts on media stuff

I was just thinking...How come other countries replay what is shown on TV three to four times a day? The Philippines never repeats what is shown on TV. Is it because the discrepancies between the tastes of the numerous viewers at different times are much greater than in other countries?

I really can't answer this one.

Taiwan food

I just can't get enough of Taiwanese food! I cooked the 拉餅(la bing) I brought home last time. Gosh! It tastes super good!!!! Even dad likes it.

I really really mis Taiwan. I miss the conference the most...I don't know, but all throughout the conference, I was always up and about, not feeling tired at all even when I only have 4-5 hours of sleep at night. If I only had 4-5 hours of sleep here in Manila, I'd probably be all grouchy and sleepy all day. hehe It is true that your environment defines how you act.

Saw this quote on TV earlier, "It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop." Confucius said that. Now, I think that if everybody thought like that, we'd probably still be living in the 90's. hehe

Today

I went to take a PROFILES test in Mandaluyong today. The test was for a job I applied for. I passed the first interview already, so this is like a second step. I like the job, but the thing is I don't like the working conditions and the location of the office. But aside from these two factors everything is perfect.

I've been thinking a lot about receiving more than giving. I don't know, but even when I'm jobless and all, I still feel that somehow I'm so much luckier than others. Theres this feeling in me that although I am not satisfied with the life that I have right now, I am still able to be happy. I am so blessed to be born in a family that keeps me happy and gives me a good life(although we do drive each other crazy at times). Right now, I want to be able to share this feeling with others. Give them the same feeling of happiness that I have.
