mantra

Out of damp and gloomy days, out of solitude, out of loveless words directed at us, conclusions grow up in us like fungus: one morning they are there, we know not how, and they gaze upon us, morose and gray. Woe to the thinker who is not the gardener but only the soil of the plants that grow in him.

i saw blondie yesterday on my way to school. i didn't realsie it at first until she called my name. didn't speak much since i had to rush, and i still feel terible that i have not had a nice day out with her yet. i need to find a way to clear my school projects and mid term test. this is not going to be easy.

again, i am still feeling a little bruised. emotionally, not physically.

public speaking drains alot from my emotional reserves. i felt very slighted today. i think i shouldn't have minced my words. i should learn not to bite my tongue when i am telling the truth.

today have been an awful day for socialising. it felt as though the fountain of pheromones must have dried out, since i have an awkward time communicating with people. and this is made worse by my overtly sensitive brain by replaying the different awkward scenarios on loop, and somehow the story warped into an even worse scenario than what happened in reality.

i need to have lunch with blondie, only her vapid musings could take the focus away of my damaging, excessive self-reflection.

today have been very exciting indeed. i have fulfilled my promise to a bunch of fashionistas, and i made connections to people outside my social circle. interestingly, i abandoned slim jim. i felt terrible for dashing off, especially since he called me, perhaps to know of my whereabout since he must be waiting for me as i made the dash. i feel like a selfish prick - which i am on most days, but not on thursdays. since today is thursday, i feel bad for being so self-centered. besides, how was i supposed to know he was waiting for me. men are so weird aren't they? they want you to read their minds and anticipate the right actions. i could care less, really. but it's strange how people wants to get to know me, yet they never give a clue on how close they want to be with me. as sensitive to my surroundings as i am, i am still clueless on noticing people's affection towards me.

obviously i have way too much time on my hands. but i do like the description though. very accurate. what will the offspring of catwoman and magneto look like? what superpowers will they have?

p.s - i don't think magneto is a villain. he's an anti-hero. with a healthy appetite for power, that's all.

You are Magneto

You fear the persecution of those that are different or underprivileged so much that you are willing to fight and hurt others for your cause.

the mantra on the right column of this blog is something i keeep chanting to myself, in hopes that i could abide by it. if you manage to read through my entries, my attempt at weeding out negative energies and words, were feeble at best. there's always room for improvement.

at least that's what those optimistic, bubbly bastards say to themselves. i should try to be like them. they seem happy. i guess it's easy to be happy when the space between your skull are vapid.

my emotions are on the rise again. i think i know what to present on for 'it's time'. i doubt that my speech would be spectacular, but at the very least i will fulfill the requirements. i foresee a disaster. i will trip and fall flat on my face, and as a result, the embarassment triggered a heavy peristalsis in my intestines and let my bowel loose infront of the whole class.

i think far too much into things. terrible, overtly dramatic things. i need to be slapped.

i loathe group work. i had to bite my tongue and prevent from lashing out when she asked me to make those changes. i didn't like her contributions at all. but alas, i need to be a good guest and be accomodating to changes.

too much hate and loathing, i should state something that i love to balance things out. i love pedro almodovar's hable con ella (talk to her). i fucking love it and i cannot believe i missed it. i had the opportunity to watch it, and since i am in possession of the dvd, i will be watching it many times over. this i promise you.

i was supposed to go out and watch a play at a drama theatre yesterday with jelly belly, but it didn't go as planned. he called me at the most inopportune time, and i hadn't answered any of his calls since i had class yesterday. bad timing i suppose. besides, i wasn't in the mood for a play.

by the way, another friend from the past contacted me yesterday, and i thought it was so fantastic.

i just watched beowulf. i was not very inclined on watching it, because the thought of watching semi-nude, computer generated, angelina jolie's body, thinly covered with dripping gold liquid, triggered an auto response where my genitals get sucked up my body cavity, and i vomit my entire gastro-intestinal content.

i feel so magical sometimes. like a fairy, that had an acrimonious split from the ruling party of a magical kingdom in an alternate dimension, dumped her entire supply of fairy dust on to me, as she tore her outfit in rage, and flee to the deepest forest in a self-imposed exile.

i am having a little problem with my group members. i can't believe the lack of effort they showed in doing the project. i was appalled at the lack on insight and depth in their contributed work. i had to ignore their contirbutions and redo the entire project by myself (the first half, really, but that carried much of the weight), and i sent out a rather sharp message on the need to apply a little cognitive process and the need to discriminate between good answers derived from application of specified theories and half-assed, lazy attempt by 'copy and paste' from online sources. i mentioned how i find most of the contributions did not specifically asnwered the questions in the project, thus rendering them invalid.

i realise i might have bruised some ego, and ruffled some feathers, but i don't see why i should sink with the ship. truthfully, i find it terribly unfair that my grades should be affected, just so i should get on their good book.

i realise that i'm gradually mentioning people in my posts. usually i restrain myself from mentioning anyone else and how they affect my life, and even if i must, i restrict it to only the actions they did that affected my emotions or thoughts. perhaps this is unavoidable. oh dear, people are slowly climbing over the picket fences i built around my life. this is a little unsettling. but interesting. i think.

i had a lovely and lively conversation with someone in my past - a different person that the one i mentioned in previous post. i have long removed this particular person from my contact list, but i think it's time i re-introduce him to my social circle and phone book. as of today, whenever i mention him, i shall call him as jelly belly, so as to not reveal his real name. this could be interesting. i've always enjoyed our little banters and quirky non-sequitor conversaton, served with a heavy, piping hot dish of salacious gossip. i was quite surprised that he shared about his very humiliating departure from his previous hospital. it is always good to know, and besides, i need airy people that are good in socializing but lack in clarity of thought to make up for my lack of social skills. they can be my sock puppet while i manoeuvre through strangrs that i must make contact with but could hardly stand their presence or make an effort to initiate small talks.

something odd happened on the way to work today. i sat alone in the back of the bus while staring at the windows to the side. my mind was blank. that by itself is weird - usually, i pretend like i'm riding a pretty pink pony all the way to valhalla. all right, i'm kidding. but my thoughts were subdued by a mysterious serenity. i didn't think the usual stuff that my head conjured, "will this bus crash head-on and my body will be severed in half?", "i wonder if i will mate with an extra-terrestrial being?", "did i actually wear pants today?", and other stuff like that.

this is unnatural.

actually, i should be spending this time studying, since i have yet to open my consumer behaviour text book for the past two days, and truthfully, i am quite bored with the preparation for the class presentation. it is tiresome and i lost my interest in that subject. this is bad. bad! as a punishment for this transgression, i shall be denied exfoliating and moisturising privileges for a week.

the photos of the ispahan weren't of good quality, i used my v9 phone camera to snap those. those photos didn't do it justice, in showcasing how pretty it looks in real life, and how deliciously light, yet creamy it tastes. if i had my way, i would have dedicated a sixty minutes documentary on it, but i lack the equipment and mental fortitude, so those photos will do.

though, i must say, i did not eat much during lunch since i do have a bit of a problem with people watching me eat - just makes me feel vulnerable and intruded, so i end up with a vanilla creme brulee and a valhorna chocolate. the creme brulee was paltry, but makes up with it's lack of quantity with quality. truthfully, i simply love to tap the caramelised surface of the creme brulee, and that was the main reason why i ordered it.

i wish things would go back to the good old days.
