Man up!

Your friends will be there for you through thick and thin, yes. They will be there for you to: listen while you pour your heart out, chug beer bottles with you, give you random tight squishy hugs, scream out with you, and do whatever silly things you need to do just to help you make it through the day. But let’s face it, at the end of the day, it is still every man for himself, because just like you, your friends have their own problems to face and stories to write themselves.

Come to think of it, friends may be the best shield for your problems, yes… but really, it’s just you, and you alone can truly resolve all your issues. It’s your battle, and only you have the power to decide if you’re gonna let it get the best of you or choose to conquer it.

It’s every man for himself, so you better learn how to man up!

Anonymous

Haha, sorry. I thought the concert is on Feb 18. I didn’t even know it was last Jan 18, my bad. I am so broke, i couldn’t afford to watch concerts these days, so i didn’t pay much attention on dates :p

EEEEEEPPPPP! What a way to end my horrible week! I saw and talked to AJ Rafael!!!!!! Okay, that might be a little exaggerated, ‘cos when i say i “talked” to AJ, i didn’t mean “talk” as in talk. Obviously i’m so torpe, i can’t really do that. (forever alone!!!!) Here’s what really happened: I was with my co-officer, Mayenne, and we were supposed to meet with our artist in Bon Chon, Greenbelt 1. Mayenne was the first to order, and since there was only one cash register opened at that time, i had to go at the back of the line. Then i noticed a group of guys entered the door, but i didn’t really pay attention to them as i was so hungry, i just focused entirely on what i should order. Then… Staff: Hi sir, this line is now open. What can i get you?AJ: (looked at me) Hey, you go ahead.Me: No, it’s okay. You go ahead.(AJ didn’t move, and the staff was already looking at me)Me: Alright then, thank you. I didn’t realize who the guy was until Mayenne paid her bill, and AJ stepped forward to give his order and i had the chance to get a better look at him. I had to ask myself a hundred times, pull out my phone from my bag and go on AJ’s Twitter before i finally believed and confirmed that it was indeed AJ Rafael, and that he’s here in Manila, and that he’s in Greenbelt too (according to his latest tweet then)!!! Haha, am such a stalker.  So yeah, even though i didn’t get to watch his concert, at least i saw him up-close. And i (kind of) talked to him, yeah? Haaaah. And that is just as good as it’s going to get. Ps. I think Gabe Bondoc should visit Manila too and have concert. Am just saying. <3

Suck it, universe!

Can I just say that I hate how unfair the universe is, for me, at least. Just when I had found a way to do what I really want to do for a job/career and was even given an opportunity to go for it, the universe suddenly changed the alignment of my stars and took everything away, shutting down all the plans I had for myself. What, you think you’re so funny, going all “OOPS, I changed my mind. I don’t want to give this to Cherry. She’s being a bitch, and an eager-beaver.”

Well guess what, I ain’t giving up! I don’t care how long it will take me to get there, but I will get there! You hear me? I’ll be here, and I ain’t going anywhere.

Ps. I’ve got God on my side. So yeah, you can suck it, universe! Let God’s will be done.

Pps. Lord, as what The Smiths’ song said, “Please, please, please let me get what I want this time.” <3

*Wow, so much for a 330AM rant post. I can’t sleep and I think having a Tumblr app on my phone isn’t helping haha

&#8220;Think what that will feel like, Em. Walk out now. Just do it.&#8221;-One Day, David Nicholls This line had been a huge part of my 2011. I remember reading this book during my &#8220;quarter-life crisis&#8221;, and i came across this part, wherein Emma Morley was stuck nowhere in life and she just settled for a crappy job, a loser boyfriend who loves her very much (but whom she didn&#8217;t love back), and a flat which she shared with a colleague who assigned her to a room with no windows, all because she was too afraid to take a leap of faith and go after what she wants and what she deserves. So yeah, thank you Dexter Mayhew for your letter to Emma. You saved me from insanity, really. &lt;3

Where to, miss?

When you’re caught in the battle of choosing between what you want to do and what you should do, whereto?

What you want to do

  • Pros: you’re happy
  • Cons: it doesn’t pay well, nobody understands why you want to do it

What you should do

  • Pros: it pays well, everyone around you seems impressed with what you do
  • Cons: it’s tiring, you’re not happy

I just wish that people wouldn’t be so judgmental about what others do for a living, who they go out with, where they hang out, etc., you know? Then again, i wish that i could just stop caring about what others think of me. Dammit! What a fcked up world we live in. (I can’t wait ‘til i move to Mars!)

But if i were to ask you, which one would you choose, what you want/love to do or what you know you should do?
