New Year's and The Things I Should Have Said To 2008


Mood: UH.
Currently listening to: anatomy, anarbor.


Although it's probably a gazillion days after new year's, i'd still like to greet everyone a very happy new year.

So aun. Everyone's been bugging me about my new year's resolution, you'd think i killed a president this year or something. Okay, i'm not a saint, but i'm not a sinner either. Wait, let me rephrase. I'm a saint, and i'm a sinner also. I'm generally not a happy person; i lie, swear and lie some more. But i believe that no matter how warped up i am, that doesn't mean God doesn't love me. Yeah. And i love Him for that.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2k8 was a pretty... pretty year, rofl. I guess i'll remember this year more strongly than the other 2k years, since this year marks my graduation - OUR graduation - and i feel that that event merits a lot of space in the old gray matter.

I sort of miss high school. But, as i said in this post, i will not say i miss everyone. So scratch that.

But it effing stings, y'know. When i look back and see how peaceful i led my life back then, how sure i was of the path i was taking... it effing stings.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This year also marks the days i wake up at 4 in the freaking morning, drag my carcass to the bathroom, fix myself up, wolf down breakfast and bolt through the door to ride an fx, a rarity here in paranaque.

I kind of like those days. They make you feel like you're the action hero in a badly produced Japanese movie. When i wake up and i feel exactly like that, i feel a bit of excitement as to what the day has in store. Yeah. I feel.. great.

Then i go to school.

College is, no matter what they tell you, a piece of heaven and hell swirled in a giant-sized,freaking third world, industrial blender.

For one thing, it's a real joy to have things go by your way. For another, it's a pain in the arse to follow it through - the things that go your way. And when i say follow it through, i mean until the end, regardless of how freaked up it goes. Regardless of how fucked up it twists.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Responsibility. I sure as hell hope that the guy who invented the word is some neatly dug grave out there, clutching a Nobel Prize as insects crawl over the bones.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I guess i learned a lot of abstract things this year. Er, not exactly abstract, but.. o well. To enumerate,

1. I learned to never ride an fx without a signboard.
2. Never ever ride an fx without a signboard.
3. UST is a bitch. A freaking mother-hen type of bitch.
4. If UST is a bitch, then life is a bitch with fangs on.
5. Highschool never ends.
6. Friends, regardless of when, where and how you picked them, are not forever. They last longer than that.
7. There are other ways of writing. Personally, i like the informal tone.
8. The Twilight movie sucked. (runs for cover)
9. If a=x, and b=x, then a=b. Math can be applied to people, too.
10. Failing, no matter how much they sprinkle it with sugar and comfort, still effing SUCKS.
11. It doesn't help to know that more than half of the class failed, it only makes you feel bad that a lot of people suffered the same fate.
12. Theology 101 is values education. Biopsychology is...
13. Highschool only feels hard when you're right smack in the middle of it. I'm betting college would feel the same too.
14. The internet is a scary place.
15. The outside world is pretty scary also, but it is where friends and family are, so it pretty much rocks out.

There is a manga, called Franken Fran which is a disturbing (read:DISTURBING) manga. She starts off with good intentions,(like fixing up medical problems and such) but ultimately ends up making things worse.

Why am i mentioning this?

Why, indeed.
