Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever music player you have on random.
Step 2: Post a line from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: No cheating.

RANDOM SNIPPETS

:: a few people has been expressing the fact that my face seemed to have matured a little. late bloomer ito, kamusta naman ang 21 years old na ng nagdalaga? could this be the reason why jeepney drivers no longer mistake me for a student. aw.
:: i swear my flabs are taking a life of their own. arrg. but as i was combing my hair (yes, i comb my hair now, another "sign" of blooming into womanhood, harhar) in front of my mom's office mirror, i realized that i like my physique better than when i was so thin, except perhaps for my now bulging stomach. people who has seen me before told me the same thing--that being a little chubby actually suits me better.
:: i have been regularized. i don't really know how i feel about that.
:: i realized that the world is full of butt kissers: the weak butt kissing the strong, or the powerful or whatever. and i think it's absolutely disgusting.
:: i have sadly neglected my relationship with God the past weeks. I guess a mixture of resentment, deppression, anger, and frustration left me in an indifferent manner, although not altogether a non-believer. recently, i started praying again and amazingly, in spite of all our troubles, i found tremendous comfort in the few minutes that i converse with Him.
:: it's funny how some people are actually PROUD when they cause harm to other people. but i think it's even more funny when they convince themselves that they get the upperhand when they do. 
:: the world works in really funny ways sometimes. somehow related to the previous statement. just wanted to share: this friend i know, he's brokenhearted right now. funnily enough, it's not because of the relationship he just got out of.
:: i love my boyfriend more than anything or anyone i've ever met before. it's the first time i actually felt, actually dared to let myself feel that yes, we will last. forever exists after all.
:: i'll bounce back. isinusumpa ko yan.

CAMZKIE'S FLIGHT TO FREEDOM:

i filed my resignation last tuesday. it was a first for me. and you know what they say about first times.

if you wanna know just how much i loathed my job, here's a picture--i am nearly always in a state of almost-crying by the end of every shift. that's how bad it was. i've gotta admit that a big reason why i applied for the job in the first place is because of the big bucks it promised. but as i've obviously and painfully learned, money isn't everything. not if the job your doing does not fulfill you in ways you have dreamed.

oh of course there are perks--things i've learned, friends i made. i improved my english beyond recognition that i came from customers demanding to talk to someone else coz they can't understand my accent to them actually saying that they couldn't tell that i am not an american (which, coming from them, is actually a very good thing to hear). man, i so wanna go back to college, i will rule and rock the world with recitations and presentations..if i bothered to prepare for em at all. hehe. okay, im blabbing, i'll stop now.

a word to fresh graduates: think twice before going for a call center job. the money you get--it's certatinly enticing. but time will come and you will feel that there's gotta be more to life than this. not that i'm looking down on this job. it's just that, very few would choose to answer phone calls for the rest of their careers--and that in itself is a challenge. i suppose it's a job that someone must take care of, but i'm sure i'm not that person.

a few more weeks and i'll be off working with Riz (and i hope she won't regret it, herher). i feel a little sad knowing that i have established a name for myself here, proving that i can rise and meet the challenge.

but i just think that i can carve a niche for myself over at that new job. meet expectations, beat challenges.

that thought always makes me smile.

OUR SECOND LEASE ON LIFE

as some of my friends are aware, daddy was infected by dengue a couple of weeks ago. i was so worried that i lost it in front of my monitor while i was sending an SR and just bawled like a baby. of course, my former teammates all tried to get me talking, and they all stated categorically (and probably untruthfully) that they all, at one point in their lives, got infected by dengue but look they all lived so nothing to worry about. haha. and yeah.. it prompted a flurry of stalker-like SMS messages to unsuspecting friends who were probably minding their own businesses at that time.

my sincerest gratitude to those who replied. you have no idea how much it meant to me that you were all there, asking how he is and just checking in. it made me feel that somehow, i am not alone in my battle.

and yeah. i know what friends are for. when death is looming and danger is passing, you would forget to think about anything else, even you. and it's nice that i've got a bestfriend who thinks of me for me.

and in case you did not notice, the subtitle reads "OUR second lease on life".

ours. because life as i know it would cease to exist without him to share it with. God truly reserves the best blessings when you need it most.

DVD/GETAWAY NIGHT

wanna know just how addicted i am with Gilmore Girls? aside from scouring youtube for snippets of videos and episodes, i decided to go through all of their transcrpits from season 1 to season 6. so far, im now in season three. crazy, i know. i love the shoe. and it's definite. i am a hundred percent jess-rory fan. did you know their loveteam was called illiterati? that is so cool. all right, i'm probably freaking you out wit all this psycho/groupie-ish babble. i'll stop now.

hopefully, in a few days, i will be a happy, happy owner of a set of Gilmore Girls DVDs, from season 1-6. that, and a cutie Tamagochi. hihi.

looking forward to DVD night with daddy, and getaway night with daddy and joey and..this other friend that we have. im gonna bail and we're going to antipolo, how cool is that? sorry, im just excited.

LURVE, LURVE, LURVE!
