Don't you just hate it when you're on a trip and to kill the boredom you turned on your iPod only to find out that the battery's empty? Don't you just hate it when you raise your hand in class and the teacher never calls on you but when you don't know the answer the teacher calls on you then? Don't you just hate it when you do your homework late at night and then figure out it isn't due 'til next week? Don't you just hate it when you wake up early and go to school only to find out that the first two classes were cancelled? Don't you just hate it when you realize you don't have enough money to buy the things you need when you're right there in front of the cashier and there's a long line behind you? Don't you just hate it when you're feeling your best and then suddenly someone says bad things about you that you just want to disappear right then and there? 'Cause I do.

I'm not in denial that I am a bitch. I am maarte. I just don't get it why there are people who will constantly bring you down, say bad things about you just to make your life miserable. And the worst thing is, that person is my friend. Aren't friends supposed to be the one who'll pull you up when you're down? The one who'll tell you you're still beautiful even when you're bloated? The one who'll give you a makeover just so you'll feel better? The one who'll bring out the best in you and not the other way around? I don't want a friend like that. All that person sees are my flaws. "Oh, you're flat-chested pala.", "di ka naman maganda e, chinita ka lang." It hurts when you hear comments like that. I'm not perfect. No one is. I know there are thousands infinitely more gorgeous girls than me. So what? Just because I drink and smoke doesn't mean I am a bad girl. Just because I have flings doesn't mean I am a whore (like Paris Hilton). Just because I am not mestiza doesn't mean I am not pretty. It's not my fault that was born with fair skin and chinita eyes.

I now realize that people around you can be mean when they're envious of you. They'll do everything, by any other means, just to make you feel terrible about yourself. I believe that beauty is NOT skin-deep. A simple, friendly and genuine personality is more beautiful than a perfect face. We are all beautiful. We just need someone to remind us everyday that we are wonderful. And I wouldn't get tired of telling the people around me that they are beautiful --- which is true anyway because I don't want them to feel bad about themselves.

And as Christina says, "I am beautiful no matter what they say. Words won't bring me down."♥

No one can make my heart melt like him. Such an angel. I am on an exceptional high. This is not an ectasy. It's LOVE. :)

Okay. So now I've got the time to update this messy, yucky and bulok blog. Hahaha. I was really pissed off yesterday when my friends and I went to Marya to get our yearbook and find out they stopped distributing them away because of some major booboos. Oh well. At para hindi naman masyadong masayang ang pagpunta namin, we (Kris Ann, Ana, Jermaine and I) decided to visit our old school and see if there are any changes. It's still the same old boring Marya i used to know. I'm not saying I hate my high school but I've got some really bad memories in it. If I can just ditch those, I will. But I can't. Let's just say that I've finally come to accept that it will forever be part of my past. And I can't erase it. NEVER. The best I can do is reminisce and think how much I've grown to be a stronger person that I am now (okay, this is my softie side talikgn again). Well, I still love my high school life. I've met lots of wonderful people with whom I've shared wonderful and crazy mem'ries with. They've been with me through thick and thin. And even if we're scattered all over the globe now, I know they're just one phone call away. :)

It was only now that I've realized I miss my high school. I miss having to wake up at 5:30 am and rush to school before 7 strikes. I miss bugging kuya janitor to turn on the air-con in the classroom because it's so mainit. I miss singing our school hymn every morning (hail st. mary's beloved st. mary's.. hehehe...). I miss cramming because a hw is supposed to be passed and I still don't have any. I miss copying my classmates assignments. I miss buying yema, kornik and bluse skies in the canteen and saving them for when class starts again and we can eat (secretly, of course!) during class hours. I miss sharing foods with my seatmates. I miss sitting on the floor and putting on makeup with Abby and Kham. I miss exchanging funny and sometimes heart warming kwentos with my friends. I miss goofing around with them. I miss my teachers. I miss my friends. I miss the atmospehere of the campus. At na-miss ko 'yung paglalakad namin ni Len nang paikot-ikot sa sa quadrangle. :)

So eto, ilang snaphots sa pagbabalik namin sa marya:

Pagbigyan nyo na ko. Wala kasi akong magawa e. So there. I just uploaded some photos and i wanna share 'em wit 'ya! Hahaha. Wala nang aangal.
