                <description><![CDATA[ 1. One book that changed your life?<br />
<br />
Interview With The Vampire by Anne Rice<br />
<br />
Reading it in sixth grade really opened my mind into poetry and art and the darkness of things. <br />
<br />
2. One book you have read more than once?<br />
<br />
Dragon Sword and Wind Child<br />
<br />
I must have read it about three times. I was so determined to read it at least once a year of my life! It's a Japanese fantasy translated into English. I don't know if it's a famous classic. I did find a common bond with the main character and the writing was a poetry on its own.<br />
<br />
3. One book you would want on a desert island?<br />
<br />
The Army Survival Manual<br />
<br />
4. One book that made you laugh?<br />
<br />
One For the Money by Janet Evanovich (sadly, I have yet to finish it)<br />
<br />
5. One book that made you cry:<br />
<br />
The Rose and The Beast by Francesca Lia Block<br />
<br />
It's under the "Teen" section of the bookstore, but you have to read it! It's exquisite poetry.<br />
<br />
6. One book you wish had been written?<br />
<br />
The Answer To Everything (which would be a book with a long Introduction and a single blank page that is the True answer).<br />
<br />
7. One book you wish had never been written?<br />
<br />
I steer clear from these. And I hypnotize myself that I've never seen or heard of them. So I don't remember what they are.<br />
<br />
8. One book you are currently reading?<br />
<br />
Hannibal by Thomas Harris<br />
<br />
9. One book you have been meaning to read?<br />
<br />
The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi (and the bible too...someday)<br />
<br />
10. Now tag five people. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Some 20 things you might not know about me even if you're my friend.<br />
<br />
1) I'm afraid of thunder. But I'm trying to get over it. I love lightning.<br />
<br />
2) I cherish good friends.<br />
<br />
3) I'm a hugger. Especially to huggable friends and strangers!<br />
<br />
4) Gluttony is my vice. <br />
<br />
5) Attention is what I hunger for.<br />
<br />
6) Over-conservativism is my sin. Impulse glorifies.<br />
<br />
7) I love my family! I just can't tell them that openly.<br />
<br />
8) I hate lying. I'm bad at it.<br />
<br />
9) If you lie to me, regaining my trust will be the hardest thing to do. Regaining my respect will even be harder.<br />
<br />
10) I look up to a lot of my older cousins since I don't have older siblings.<br />
<br />
11) I love my little brother but he won't hear that from me anytime soon XD.<br />
<br />
12) I'm lazy. I'm a talker, not a do-er. That's why most of my drawings are unfinished...and my room is a pigsty.<br />
<br />
13) I tend to get confused most of the time because I'm too lazy to think.<br />
<br />
14) Sometimes I pretend I'm confused to avoid talking about a topic I don't like.<br />
<br />
15) My family and I have a lot of problems we don't face. We fail at communication skills.<br />
<br />
16) I'm not always happy just because I smile.<br />
<br />
17) I'm not good at keeping promises. I'm sorry. <br />
<br />
18) My best friend, <a href="http://bakaako.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/b/a/bakaako.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="bakaako" /></a> means the world to me. She understands me the best! Whoever hurts her will die in a slow agonizing death (in my mind). <br />
<br />
19) I am an idealistic optimist and a pessimist rolled into one. Sometimes I contradict myself but I'm mostly optimistic to those that know me. Mostly pessimistic to the people that listen to my troubles.<br />
<br />
20) I love to make people's day because I think a smile can tip the scale from a million different woes to a pinch of happiness. I want to make the world a better place. ^_^ ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm currently working at Starbucks. Been busy, busy, busy. I love it! Of course, I still draw on the side. I just don't have a means to put them up online. But now, Toto has his computer back, I hope to be able to use his scanner tomorrow! Yay! ^_^<br />
<br />
As for my job, I love the people and the work! I got trained on Bar duty today and  I think I did fairly well. I'm not a coffee addict...I'm just addicted to making them ^_~ Here's hoping I don't forget to put up more stuffs soon! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I watched Howl's Moving Castle! It's out in the Hollywood area, like X/1999 the movie was out several years ago and never came to Orange County. But the best part is I got to watch it! In Amazon.com, there is a book by Dianna Wynne Jones with the same title and I believe that's where they got the movie from.<br />
<br />
The movie was fantastic! It was very heartwarming and I had a smile throughout watching it! As usual, the musical pieces were carefully tuned and flowed sweetly throughout the movie. It made me want to draw happy things afterwards! Happy things!!! ^______^  So much for morbidity. I recommend it not only because it is directed by Hayao Miyazaki, or created by Ghibli, but also because it teaches one to be true to themselves and the ones that they love. <br />
<br />
Once, a friend of mine commented that he did not like the animation for Ghibli and how "simple" they looked. Being a Ghibli fan, I was insulted and went on the defense. In fact, the simplicity of the character designs and elegant backgrounds are a trademark for Ghibli films. Perhaps what seduces me the most to their creations are their characters and that they can be related to. However magical the journey, the characters' decisions are not unlike that of the "normal" person. <br />
<br />
I encourage you all to watch the movie and feel really good! ^_^ ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I met a fellow taga-Iloilo today, by  the bus stop. New friend! He's a year  older bala. I haven't met one from  Visayas that's not related to me. Ah, I  love it when people know exactly what I  am. I've been mistaken for Vietnamese,  Chinese, even Mexican sometimes, but  the Pinoys know a fellow kababayan  (fellow countryman) when they see one.  ^_~<br />
<br />
"Pilipino ka?" (Are you Filipino?) But  he already knew before he asked.<br />
<br />
"Oo."(Yes)  I grinned. "I heard you  talking on the phone nga eh and I was  just smiling to myself..."<br />
<br />
"Taga diin ka?" (Where are you from?)<br />
<br />
"Iloilo. Ikaw?" (Iloilo. You?)<br />
<br />
"Bisaya gali. Ako man....Bacolod." (Ah,  Bisaya. Me too...from Bacolod)<br />
<br />
(Whee! I finally met someone from  Iloilo who knows more people from  Iloilo without any sort of relation to  moi. That means meeting more people!)  Pero...Something he said caught me  though...<br />
<br />
"Ano major mo?" (What's your major?)<br />
<br />
"Ga-kwa ko subong LVN." (I'm taking  LVN)<br />
<br />
"Amo na gusto mo?" (Is that what you  want [to do]?)<br />
<br />
"...Amo man na nami hambal ni mama eh."  (That's what mom says is good [to  take].)<br />
<br />
I knew that feeling all too well... We  took the same bus, talked a bit more.  Of course our conversation led back to  about our homeland, our ties to it. But  what he would say later...<br />
<br />
"Mas nami pa 'to sa aton." (It is  better at our place <--meaning the  Philippines)<br />
<br />
It broke my heart. His voice was level  when he said it, but it felt broken  when I heard it. I looked down, like he  was looking down, and I knew he was  thinking of the things he misses like I  was thinking of the things I miss. I  was hit with a strong blow of  nostalgia, leaving me wordless for  several moments before I could eke out  an "I know..."<br />
<br />
I walked over to my cousins' home and,  just before I could cross the street to  their door, I stopped by the sidewalk  and stood there like I was about to  cry. I would not have been able to  explain the tears so I stopped<br />
<br />
I miss the Philippines too, I whispered  to the trees, to the air, to the sun. I  miss it dearly. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ This is a lovely jazzy tune from the  GHOST IN THE SHELL: INNOCENCE  soundtrack.<br />
<br />
It's fitting for me for the moment...<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.animelyrics.com/anime/ghostshell/">[link]</a><br />
(Anime) Ghost in the Shell: River of  Crystals (N/A)<br />
<br />
Crystal memories<br />
Touched by your voice, in the moonlight<br />
<br />
"Nothing lasts." you said.<br />
But everything still holds meaning in  my heart<br />
<br />
Hidden deep in my mind<br />
River to the time<br />
That we once shared together-<br />
the pictures are still on the wall and  why.<br />
shining smiles, like snow flakes.<br />
all melted and gone away<br />
<br />
Only answer was to live. <br />
and I am still here-<br />
with your memories...<br />
<br />
dreaming hopelessly.<br />
holding in my heart<br />
all the flowers you left...<br />
<br />
Crystallized moments<br />
Shattered into frozen pieces in my  tears<br />
<br />
River of moonlight<br />
I hear your voice echoing.<br />
but I'm here, alone...<br />
<br />
Crystal melodies<br />
moments so sweet, I remember<br />
<br />
"Nothing lasts." you said. <br />
Then why is pain still confusing  memories<br />
<br />
Only time will go on<br />
River has its end<br />
Our light was blown by the wind<br />
My fingers reach out and find no one  there<br />
Rainy sky, please tell me my emptiness  will be filled<br />
<br />
Only answer was to live.<br />
and I am still here-<br />
with your memories...<br />
<br />
walking hopelessly.<br />
holding in my eyes<br />
all the colors you left..<br />
<br />
broken melodies<br />
No more singing, no more laughing in  the sun<br />
<br />
River of moonshine<br />
I hear your voice echoing<br />
But I'm still alone...<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ And oh, don't ever take my lines and  shapes and colors away...I don't think  I can live without them. If I'd been  born deaf-mute, I would live with  shapes and lines and color. But I can  hear the birds and the soft mumur of  rustling leaves. I speak very well,  though I ramble on a lot. And I draw.  How I draw in my mind, with my hands,  with my tears, with my smiles, I draw..<br />
<br />
What are they but words? People would  say. <br />
<br />
"Sticks and stones can break my bones  but words will never hurt me." <br />
<br />
Wrong! Words can hurt and words can  heal. <br />
<br />
Just like not all lies are bad and not  all truths told are good. But, they're  there and we just have to live with  them. <br />
<br />
I just realized that I communicate a  lot with words..Through a poem. Through  a stutter. Through a story. But, then,  I also communicate with lines, with  shapes, with colors. <br />
<br />
I'm just glad to be alive and free in  my mind!!!!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I love defying stereotypes. Who says a  girl has to dress in delectable  clothing to get noticed? My belief is  that I'd rather be comfortable in what  I'm wearing and have peopel know me as  myself...No matter how wacky my make-up  may be when I'm in the mood. I'm not  one to look for attention anymore,  unless I'm at work. At work, I need to  have the look of someone one can trust  and rely to help them. Yet, I  have  always loved dressing in boyish  clothing. I love knitting or crocheting  when Im dressed in my sportiest and  most boyish clothes. Some new friends  are surprised at my peculiar hobbies  that contradict my appearance. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /> I guess  I should say I love surprising people. <br />
<br />
Why do I say this? Ive been knitting  Melanies scarf while wearing a  buttoned up shirt and jeans and Omar  goes I never thought youd be the type  of person to knit. I love hearing  something like that! Or: I never  thought youd be the type of person  that can beat me at chess. Mwahahaha.  I can get lucky too, you know. *scoffs*<br />

Yet, it wasnt the first time Id worn  handsome clothing and simply knitting  the world stitch after stitch away.  Ive been seen with knitting needles  and yarn sticking out of my canvas bag  while looking like a complete bum on  the side of the road in my sweatsI  knit, draw, and/or listen to music  while waiting for the bus.<br />
<br />
Sometimes I feel like Im a frustrated  Goth. I have my dark moods, and the  taste for lace and velvet haunts me. Or  I have my romantic moods and dress like  a woman. One day, when I'm in the mood,  I'll explain why I choose to dress for  comfort and more towards the boyish  side... <br />
<br />
I miss my army boots!!! >< I need to get  them fixed T_T Ah, was that completely  out of the blue or what? <br />
<br />
I haven't talked  to Vans3n for a  while. I hope I get to soon! >< ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Since I mapped out the tests that I  have for the rest of the semester in my  agenda...HEHEHEH ^^ mustn't look at  them or I'll go crazy. <br />
<br />
So, people in the Philippines, I don't  know the difference between our unit  counts....But you having 30 units and  only 5-6 classes while I, with 4  classes (2 require labs so I attend 6  classes but get credit only for 4) have  only 16 units and ppl consider that  already suicidal if one had a job O_O?  What? USA ppl: someone with 18 units is  working 12 hour shifts and 3 days a  week (no weekends  for him/her)! I  applaud that person!!!!! Anyway, the  most I've heard a person take here is  21 units...and I think that's for  someone in a University? Hmm...maybe  I'll ask Pegg how many units she's  taking <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /><br />

Oh well...It's raining and I love it! I  hope that it keeps at this weather! ^_^v ]]></description>
