yssa called me up about an hour ago cause she was bored. woah. it's been a while since that happened. anyway, i'm still a bit sleepy, but that's ok. i have just finished reading eleven minutes at around 2 in the morning. then i watched dracula on HBO, i've been watching a lot of movies lately. usually, i don't have the patience to watch them. then i watched CSI: Miami--I hate CSI: Miami. But when I saw this guy in the morgue wake up, i couldn't seem to get myself to change the channel. lolz. (: you're probably wondering why i slept so late when i'm supposed to wake up at 5 in the morning everyday.
rewind and freeze.yesterday, during my morning run at nfa(valerie's been too lazy to wake up), daddy took a little too long with badminton. he picked me up around 7:30 ish, so basically i've been running for about two hours. i felt awesome, of course. but the whole awesomeness faded when i took my shoes off. my feet hurt like shizz! lolz. it was irritating. so i just lied down and tried reading, but i fell asleep. honestly, i thought it would go away when i'd just sleep on it. this used to happened to me all the time during taekwondo, that my classmates would just laugh at me whenever i walked akwardly in school and say something like, "hey van, did your foot get ran over by a motorcycle again?"--and that really happened, btw. once. anyway, back then it would go away in a few hours but then when i woke up around 2-ish, my foot still hurt. so i just watched television. it was too bad i couldn't get out. i always wanted to go to the park with a can of soda and a good book and read all afternoon, see, it's been a while since i read a book talaga, since i've been reading nothing but ebooks-after promising to myself i wouldn't spend any more money on books. (:
everytime i see beedle the bard and the twilight saga, i'd cuss at myself and think "what the hell were you thinking? after reading them on the computer, you had to buy them! why'd you have to be so effing ostentatious?!"
i've been wanting to sell them so bad, but i don't think anyone's stupid enough to pay for something you can get at the bookstore that looks wayy better. beedle the bard, eclipse and breaking dawn all look good as new--if you don't count the names on the right corner on the first page, since they have never been out of the house ever since the day they arrived. as for twilight and new moon, they look pretty bad. i'd sell them for 150, that is, if anyone would buy them xDD
back to the present.i obviously loved it. it's always nice to be able to try reading something new, after all that lemony snicket and eek!~stephenie meyer i've been stuck with. i've read the devil and miss prym when i was in my sophomore year, but ate danja was still reading it, so i wasn't able to finish. but it was really good. i seem to have forgotten how good Coelho was until i read eleven minutes, but whatever. i wanna read the devil and miss prym. i hope my sister would let me borrow her book.
currently reading: (rd's recommendation) eleven minutes - paulo coelho
yssa and i are friends again. (:
i know, i'm shocked too. lol.
but, i think there's one person not happy about it. now, i've dropped her name many times before during one of my petty rants, and now she's become a blind item since i have this feeling that she visits my blog. well now, READ THIS LITTLE MISS YOU-KNOW-WHO-YOU-ARE.
I know you're shocked that we're back, and I can see that you
refuse to believe it. But I don't care. Yssa and I have already put the past behind us, and no matter what you say about her, I wouldn't care anymore. I can see what you're trying to do. Talking shit about her to cover up your stink
/ to keep her all to yourself. But that's not gonna work anymore. I don't care what you think or say about me as well, so you can just go on pretending that you're happy about it. mmkay?
Or you can talk more shit, like that'll do you any good. ;p
moving on..
now that i've realized that i've been hanging out with the wrong people, what am i gonna do? I can't just stop hanging out with them, or else they're gonna get really mad or say that i've changed and stuff. i need to be the vanessa i used to be. lol. serious, mature. without being totally the old me. cause now i'm more optimistic and understanding--i think. ;]
i checked my new year's resolution post and let's review:
1)
be more optimistic: semi-done.
2)
control my temper(and my tongue). lol i have to get started on this one. (:3)
save more. i didn't have a summer job. :(
4)
be more sociable. i've gotten myself more friends, all right. the wrong kind. but, i got Yssa back, so plus points, eh? lollerz.
5)
expand the vocab. heh.
6)
get a course. i already have plan a. but i'm still needing back-up. and nursing is next to skipping college. xD
7)
clean the room. lol
yesterday was much, much better than last year. except for the fact that i was such an emotional wreck yesterday. lol. anyway, fifteen. err. i feel awful. i dreaded 13, and i pretended i wasn't 14. but 15! oh gawd, this is too much.
whatever. i'm 12 forever man.
anyway, we went to church in the morning, then had breakfast at the convent/place where priests live--the parish priest is our godfather, soo yea. we got some moolah. haha.
then we went home and i slept until noon or something. and the weather was freaking awesome! haha. some people don't like rain, i loove rain. xDD when the rain stopped, i went over to inna's cafe and brought food, since we can't go out anymore.
finally, the princess hours dvd from ebay arrived, and i watched it all afternoon. ~screw boys over flowers! asar, ang dami kong kaagaw dun sa vanness nila. lollerz.
other stuff that made my day:
1. half a dozen original glazed donuts from rd ((:
2. the cake that we got from YFC - or what's left of it.
3. daddy showing up. lol. you guys know my situation. x3
4. i withdrew some money from the bank for my trip to cebu, now i can deposit it back.
5. person greeted me! weird. no, it's not a boy. she and i used to be so close, but we seemed to drift apart. then yesterday inasar ko pa siya cause i caught her logging on when i went invisible~and vice versa. hate it when that happens. i don't care if you're online and we don't talk. when greysh/mina/jue ann are online, most times we don't talk, but we're friends. you didn't have to do that. it's so rude. but you greeted me! lol. maybe you commented me before i snapped, but thank you person. ((: lollerz.

the other night i saw into the wild, cause i wanted to see why catherine hardwicke fell in love with kristen here. anyway, gawd, that movie sucked! it was so effing depressing. i was seriously hoping that he could live, since i understood where he was coming from and all. but he didn't! ugh. and this isn't like the tragedy in the mist where you're like, "of course they'll kill themselves. duh!" i got so absorbed with the damn movie. and it just made me EXTRA pessimistic.

today's my del corro grand father's 11th death anniversary. and we're celebrating. weird. for me, at least. cause dad's always been so funny. when he was alive, mamang-our grandmother would say, that during his mom's death anniversary he would ask mamang to cook pancit, and mamang would be like, "why? shouldn't we be mourning?" and dad would just say, "mourning? she's with God now. so let's celebrate!" gosh, i miss dad. (:
i wonder when this depression would be over...
