Kate's Little Nook

     had a discussion with a classmate over a couple he took notice of.  he said they were mismatched. physically, i did agree. he said the girl's very attractive. a flat tummy, no flabby arms, fair-skinned, a CPA. and the guy, obviously, he underestimated him.  i told him that indeed, they were not a match when we try to look at them physically, but we don't really know what is going on between the two of them. another seatmate asked, "bai, uyab na sila?" hearing the positive answer, he asked how did the guy do that? i was quick to defend the guy's side. first and foremost, the three of us really don't know both of them.. i said there could be something with the guy that endeared him to the lady.  and the friend told me that he could not fathom what reasons could there be. i was so engrossed with the conversation that i forgot what i planned on telling him by the time he makes another "panghimantay" again.      he does that v...

I laid my ass to bed the whole day yesterday. My temperature rose up to 41 degrees. I was really feeling very hot and weak.   I puked in the middle of the night and to top that, my asthma kept recurring.   I had these two for the past four days.   I had a movie marathon as I rested.   Ahh, quality time with myself again. And just when I have this quality time, I always end up with the one question I always have trouble answering: what would become of me a few years from now?   And with this question, it follows that I worry if I might even finish the course that I am in right now, and if not, surely, I would be working and then I would also be asking myself yet another question: if I work, I know I’d get a wage around minimum and that would take me time to reach my goal (oh good! Now I have a goal!) – To get rich! Life is full of questions.   I am in to this situation where all my life, I have been an obedient daughter to my parents, especially my fath...

     they met when both their worlds were torn apart.  each bearing the complexities of their day to day lives. with them, a magical thing started. a nice kind of kinship, a deeper kind of friendship.     he was there to assist her, and she to listen to his anguish. both clung to each other for survival.       and so the status went on for an ample time. despite the silence, they knew certainly by heart that the other was just there standing by at arm's length.     one day she woke up. just when she was about to say that the struggle is now over and gone, he was nowhere to be found. he'd gone his own way.     he'd left without a trace. by then she knew that one good thing has come to an end. in fact, the "good thing" has even yet to start.     she could only utter a whispered, "why?"     he was there when she needed him. why did he leave when she wanted...

***blogging helps me a lot.  it serves as an outlet of what i feel. i also learn a lot from other people's entries. it is also a means of practicing my grammar, only that after each end, i find myself not satisfied with it. ***my mind is battling with my heart as of the moment. actually, on and off, on and off, it has always been a battle of the two. once, i let my heart win over my mind. i think i'm gonna let my mind win the battle this time. ***scared of letting my heart win? yes, i am. i took the risk before and it failed me. i'm not gonna take the risk again when i know what could be the possible end result. ***have you ever had this urge to peel every coating of a person who intrigues you? you want to make that secretive person trust you. you try to win that trust, in the process, you build a nice relationship. but as you get deeper and deeper to the core of the person, you would only realize that your efforts are futile. you'll just discover a shallow individua...
