why do wasting time always gets a bad rap?

The problem with unemployment is you actually have time to over-think things. Although you acutely understand that nothing good can come out of such brain activity. Or any brain activity, one would like to think. Well perhaps weight loss, in some cases, definitely not mine, as I prefer ice cream than therapy (because it’s cheaper and you don’t have to make an appointment).

A friend of mine once said that if my brains had foot, they’d run away from me. I think of way too many things. The perfect perbandingan would be (what’s perbandingan in proper English?); the total amount of the thoughts I have running like crazy in my head is equal to how much time you spend on facebook or yahoo messenger. Or your hair.

And because I am an awesome multitasker (is that even a word? Or is it multitaskist?), I can think of 5 different topics and focus on all of them at the same time! And this is actually a contradiction towards my own personality. (??) Well, I’d like to think that I am as hot as Elisha Cuthbert in Girl Next Door who just ‘goes with it’, and I do tell people that. (To just go with things~ Not tell them that I’m hot. lol.) I recall a guy telling me how much he thinks that it was very cool of me not to think much and just dive in a situation. That must be the nicest thing someone has ever said to me. And ironically, it’s not even true. It’s not that I don’t think much. It’s that I DO too much of it that it jams the system in my brain causing me to act neurotically, which some people might take as impulsive. Does that make any sense to you? I was like, “should I really put my thoughts into sentences and load it on the internet?”, because that’d only justify how much I never really make sense. But then I guess a blog is a pretty good tool for publication, you know, you can use it to declare things and explain yourself, which you don’t really have to do by the way. But I’m doing it anyway, this late, it’s almost 5 a.m in the morning and I haven’t slept all night!

A friend told to stop thinking of too many things and just focus on one specific thing that really matters. That must be the dumbest (again, does that vocab even exist? Or should I just rephrase it to “most moronic”?) piece of advice in world history! It’s like telling someone to only floss the teeth that they want to keep.

I just had a fight with dearest boyfran. It would be a lot easier if the fight was physical. You know, with big red boxing gloves and all. Because then I’d only need one hit from him to make me cry –because I am sure it would hurt like hell-, and he’d stop fighting in an instant. Yes, girls usually love arguing because they usually get to be the one that wins. But in our case, it’s much more complicated than that because the girl here happens to be me. Even winning isn’t satisfying enough! And I can’t really tell you why because I’m my own enigma. Just sympathize the dude that has me as a girlfriend because what chance in hell does he have in understanding me when I don’t even get myself.

I should really stop all this Emo tunes in my head and start acting like every other girl in this universe; perky. I guess if you fake an attitude long enough, it’ll become your character. Like the wiseman said; fake it till you make it!

PS. It might help if I start listening to Beyonce, right?

PPS. I heart you.

* while wasting time, I edited this picture I took of him with my cellphone centuries ago~ Hope you like it =)

At this very moment, I feel like I can relate to this.

Have you ever been in love? Horrible, isn’t it.

It makes you so vulnerable.

It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses. You build up a whole armor, for years, so nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life…

You give them a piece of you.

They didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like ‘maybe we should be just friends’ or ‘how very perceptive’ turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It’s a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain.

Nothing should be able to do that. Especially not love.I hate love.

(Neil Gaiman, “The Sandman“)

I could say something cute like,

“Christmas is canceled and it’s all your fault! I told Santa you’ve been good all year.. he died laughing”.

But that would be annoying, considering my age. And considering there are some of you that might have already read that line in a hallmark card before. But then again, originality is remembering what you heard but forgetting where you heard it from, right? haha. Neways,, forget my attempt of being funny, and let me put down a line which I forgot where I got it from…

“Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas now…”.

for those who celebrates, I wish you a joyful Christmas!! ^^ and for those who doesn’t, may you have a warm evening with your loved ones =)

xoxo,
