Support the Reproductive Health Bill!

The Reproductive Health Advocacy Network (RHAN) launched a signature drive to gather support for the Reproductive Health Bill currently pending in both houses of the Congress.

Following is the full text of the signature campaign:

Declaration of Support for the Immediate Passage of the Reproductive Health Bill into Law

We are seriously disturbed that more than 10 Filipino women die every day due to pregnancy and childbirth-related complications. The big majority of those who die are poor women at the prime of their lives.

We are alarmed that 29 out of 1,000 infants die due to various sickness and illnesses that are preventable and curable.

We are troubled that 4.9 million Filipino youth, aged 15-27 are sexually active but programs that would ensure their safety and help them become more responsible in dealing with their sexuality and relationships are severely lacking. Especially worrisome is the fact that 1 out of 5 female teenagers get pregnant before they reach their 20th birthday.

These are just a few of the problems in the midst of the ongoing economic crisis, escalating poverty, and the ever-increasing prices of basic commodities and services. Moreover, the Philippine population grows unabated with almost 2 million individuals added every year. Researches consistently show that poverty is more prevalent among big families compared to smaller ones.

The acute lack of services and information regarding reproductive health:

• results in the untimely death of women and children;
• is the reason why our youth are largely unprepared to deal with matters pertaining to their sexuality and relationships; and
• exacerbates the effects of economic crisis and poverty on millions of ordinary Filipinos, especially those with big families.

We believe that Filipinos, particularly the poor, urgently need access to information and services that will address their reproductive health needs.

We believe that a rights-based, comprehensive, and responsive reproductive health law will help empower Filipinos to achieve a better quality of life.

We firmly believe that the passage of the Reproductive Health Bill into law will help actualize people’s, especially women’s rights to make informed decisions.

Therefore, we call on our legislators to pass the Reproductive Health Bill into law now.

Just Saying.

Didn't I tell you how marvelous Facebook is? I did, yes? Here I am again, bragging and flaunting it to your devilish sweet, tasting face - FB is the coolest thing you will ever encounter on the net these days (except for my dahling love Matthew Mcconaughey). Man, you must join FB. While you're at it, play Pack Rat. Get utterly insane. Turn into a wild rat packer. Dive into the realms of this amazing addiction. What else can I say, am now a Pack Rat convert. Even as I type this, I am quite feverish but the Pack Rat has been very persistent that I play. I got up from my now very crumpled bed, switched my computer on, logged on to cyber ville and onto FB. Am on the 47th level now. Wahoo! But it kills me whenever a friend would steal something I've kept/baked. I wouldn't mind if it'd be stolen by a rat (the former doesn't have any idea where the stuff comes from unless the player opens its history card). If a friends steals, you'll be "un-friended"! hehehe!

I am truly enjoying some of the Korean novelas I've been buying lately. I love some of the story lines while others were just downright silly (my opinion!). I especially admire their fashion style and their leading men! Boy oh boy! Do they have the sweetest smiles! But one thing has been bothering me (which made me stop from watching "Witch Yoo Hee" for a while), those Korean actors is into hitting each other! Not hitting on one another (which I would prefer) but literally hitting one another like head swatting, slapping, I do mind a great deal (again, the reason why I am including this in "Just Saying"). I wouldn't be annoyed if it's an action slapped (my bad with the pun hehe) with slapsticks but noooooo – it's all romantic and gooey and mushy then BOING! Slap to the head here and there, spat there and here and the actors would go "argh!" or "ouch" (it's being translated to English) and might even say "ma-maaaa". Don't get me wrong, they're all adorable and lovely but the hitting must be stopped! Seriously, they're just too good looking to be hit like that.

When a former date calls you and you're unavailable when actually, you're just around.. or when somebody looks for you and brings you food at work and you're nowhere to be found when actually, you're just playing online and chatting with friends inside the comforts of your room – that would only mean one thing – the former date must realized that she doesn't want to be bothered, not only for a day or for a week or for a month – it could be a long term thing. So dude, back off. 5 words for you. She does not want you.

PUV fare, fair nga ba?

Napaaga ang gising ko kaninang umaga. Hindi ko naman pina-alarm ang clock sa cellphone ko dahil lalo akong hindi makatulog pag alam kong may "malakas na bubulong" sa kin mula sa saliw ng boses ni Jack Johnson, ang aking current singer sa umaga, tanghali, hapon at gabi. Dumiretso agad ako sa kusina at naghanap ng makakain. May carbonara at lumpiang sariwa na lumalangoy na sabaw nito, wow. "Bakit meron nito? May nag-birthday ba?" Ganyan ang litanya ko pag ginagabi ako ng uwi sa bahay, nakakalimutan ko kung meron ba nagbi-birthday sa amin o sadyang ginanahan ang ate Lina ko at nagluto. Naalala ko nga pala, inabot ito ni Manang na nakatira sa gilid ng bahay namin dahil birthday ni Grace, kumare ko. Nanonood kasi ako ng "Bones" kagabi at wala ng ibang pumapasok sa isip ko kung hindi ang simpatikong si Agent Booth (David Boreanaz). Habang kumakain kami ni Pops ng bagong init na carbonara, napapabilis ang subo ko sa pasta dahil sa balita.

Starting this Friday, the minimum fare for public buses, taxis and jeepneys will go up by at least 7 percent.

Nireport yan ni Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) Chair Thomas Lantion. WOW. Bigat ng 7% ha. Bale ang labas nyan, may dagdag na pasahe sa jeep na 50 centavos dahil nagtaas na last May at pumatak ng P8.00. Isang upo mo pa lang sa jeep, P8.50 na. At sa susunod na kilometro, may dagdag na 25 centavos.

Ang mga bus naman ay may additional na P1.00 sa unang 5 kilometro at dagdag na 20 centavos sa susunod na kilometro - ito ay para sa mga ordinaryong bus. Sa mga aircon na bus, dagdag na P1.95 sa mga susunod na kilometro, dati ay P1.75.

At ang taxi, additional na P10.00 agad. Halimbawa, huwag mong pagtakhan kung ang makikita mo sa metro ng taxi ay P65.00 at hihingan ka ni manong driver ng "sampung piso pa po ma'am". Hindi sya humihingi ng tip, dagdag sa pasahe yun. Hindi na ipapa-calibrate ng mga taxi drivers ang kanilang sasakyan para bawas gastos. Dapat may signboard ang mga taxi drivers para hindi rin nakakalimutan ng mga pasahero at mga foreigner din. Baka akalain ng huli, huthot factor yun.

Fair nga ba ang bagong fare?

Dapat kasi natin tingnan ito sa bawat anggulo e. Pandaigdigan na krisis ito. Hindi lamang ito tumatama sa Pinas, kung hindi sa buong mundo. Napanood ko nga kanina sa balita, sa bansang Germany, halos 40 naggagandahang cabs ang pumarada sa harap ng City Hall at sabay-sabay na bumusina. Hinihiling nila na itaas ang kanilang singil para maka-adjust sa mataas na presyo ng ng gasolina. Dito sa atin, sa parte ng mga drivers at owners ng public transportations, pabor sa kanila ang pagtaas ng pamasahe. Ang iba ngang grupo, sabi nila ay kulang pa ang ginawang pagtataas. Matagal na raw nila ito hinihiling sa gobyerno. Binabase rin nila itong kahilingang ito sa kung ilang beses na nagtaas ang presyo ng gasolina. Itong taon na ito, kung hindi ako nagkakamali, pumapalo sa trenta ang bilang ng pagtataas. Biruin mo yun? Nung kolehiyo ako, nagshe-share pa kami ng bf (ex!) ko nun, nasa P20 pa lang ata yun. Eh ngayon, P64 na! Sabi ng ilang lider sa pamahalaan, aakyat pa ito hanggang P74. Yan ang wow. May ilang drivers at owners ng PUV ang nagpalit na ng LPG. Pero, may epekto daw ito e. Halos lahat ng nakadaupang palad ko na mga taxi drivers, nakakasakit daw ito sa mata, nakakaantok daw, nakakapanikip ng dibdib at nakakahilo. Susmeo. Nakamura nga, aabutin naman ng ilang libo ang bill mo pag na-ospital ka. Dedma daw ang mga may-ari ng taxi sa hinaing nila. Hay.

Sa parte naman ng mga pasahero, marami syempre dyan ang bad trip. Hassle sa kanila yun. Halimbawa na lang sa mga contractual o arawan ang kanilang sweldo. Magkano ba ang minimum wage ngayon? P350 kung tutuusin, at eto eh kung talagang gumagalang ang mga may-ari sa inilabas na batas ng gobyerno ukol sa minimum na sweldo ha. Eh pano kung hindi pa? Isang problema pa yan. Magkano papatak ang pamasahe ng mga pasaherong arawan? Mababa na siguro ang P60 a day. Magiging magkano na ngayon ang take home pay nila? Susmeo. Pambili nga lang ng bigas, problema na eh. May mga wala pang modong pumipila sa NFA at naglilitanya ng "para sa aso namin". Dude! Hanep ka. Umalis ka na sa pila at baka mabugbog ka pa. Pero sa kahuli-hulihan, magbabayad at magbabayad pa din ang mga tao. Wala naman silang choice. Gusto nila pumasok at magtrabaho, kailangan nila gumastos para sa pamasahe nila. Maski gaano pa ito kasakit sa kasalukuyan na nilang butas na bulsa.

Isa pang hina-highlight ngayon ay ang middle class na mga Pinoy. Sabi ng ilang komentarista sa mga nababasa kong pahayagan, iniiwan na daw ng mga middle class ang kanilang tsikot sa bahay o nagpapahatid na lamang sa malapit na bus station at LRT, MRT stations para mag-commute. Rason dati pag sumasakay ang mga tao sa LRT/MRT stations ay para mapabilis ang kanilang byahe. Naranasan ko ng sumakay sa MRT North station, grabe dun! Napapausad ako pataas ng hagdan dahil natutulak ako. At pag mamalas-malasin ka pa, maski hindi mo gusto sumakay sa isang couch, napapasakay ka bigla dahil nagtutulakan sa likuran mo. Swerte mo na lang kung hindi ka maipit o di kaya'y mag-ala Cinderella ka dun at maiwan mo ang pirated mong Prada. Yun ang hassle. At pag may pumindot sa pwitan mo, maski ilang beses ka pang lumingon at magmura hanggang langit, walang kikibo at hindi ka tutulungan. Kaya dapat, laging may karton pwitan mo para di ka matsansingan. Maraming gago sa paligid. Ngayon, iisa na lang ang goal ng mga LRT/MRT na pasahero, ito na kasi ang pinakamurang paraan para makabyahe ka ng mabilis. Downside nito, para kang giniling sa isang cute na cute na blender. O, at least blender hindi ba? Hindi mula sa isang lata ng sardinas. Ginilang nga lang. Payo ko sa iyo dude, magbaon ka ng damit mo. Isipin mo lang pagsakay mo ng LRT/MRT, maggym ka at kailangan mo magpalit ng damit dahil sobrang "exercise" ang gagawin mo. O di ba, "it's how you treat the situation" :)

Gaya ng lahat, iisa lang din ang hiling ko. Alam kong hindi na maibabalik sa dati ang sitwasyon ng bansa, at maaring lumala pa ito. Pero sana, kayanin natin lahat ito. Hindi biro ang nararanasan natin, hindi ito isang bagay na maaring gawing katawa-tawa dahil lahat ng uri ng tao sa buong mundo ay nararanasan ang bigat ng krisis na ito. Mahirap. Masakit sa ulo ito. Ngunit sana, manatili tayong buo at manalig na makakayanan natin ang krisis na ito.

Ang kagandahan sa buhay natin, mayroon lagi tayong tsansang magbago. Sana, sa pagkakataong ito ay para sa kabutihan nating lahat.

Hayz. Parang hindi bagay ang seryoso sa akin. Hehehe.

Without You.

I love this new video of Christopher Cendana!

Just Saying.

Sitting, Waiting, Wishing by Jack Johnson (In Between Dreams, 2005)

Now I was sitting waiting wishing
That you believed in superstitions
Then maybe you'd see the signs
But Lord knows that this world is cruel
And I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool
Learning loving somebody don't make them love you

Well if I was in your position
Id put down all my ammunition
I'd wondered why'd it taken me so long
But Lord knows that I'm not you
And If I was I wouldn't be so cruel

I cant always be waiting waiting on you
I cant always be playing playing your fool
I keep playing your part
But its not my sceneWont this plot not twist?
I've had enough mystery.
Keep building me up, then shooting me down
Well im already down
Just wait a minute
Just sitting waiting
Just wait a minute
Just sitting waiting
Cause waiting on love ain't so easy to do

JUST SAYING:

- I don't get a brain freeze while others do. When I was a kid, I would pretend to have it so I can tell Pops, "oops brain freeze!" after eating 10 spoonfuls of ice cream. He'd say, "oh, you can stop now, kiddo". "But I can have more! Really!" I reply. Tough kid I was? Nah. I just really wanted to say "brain freeze".

- Facebook is very appealing while Friendster lost its enigmatic luster. Something happened with it. Ah! Instant copy+paste+upload of cool features? Hmmm.

-Angelina Jolie is awfully hot, like she sizzles all the way - and with James Mcavoy beside her? Dang! It's a burning combo! (Yes, I just watched "Wanted")

-While we're at it, don't you just think that Sloan's (Morgan Freeman) facial expression of defeat was something so troubling? I mean, seriously, how can he have that expression on his face? I adore Freeman, but man, that tight shot of his in the end was so wrong for him.

-Whereas, Wesley's (James Mcavoy) winning line, "what the f$#% have you done lately?" man, I wanted to yell, "Nothing yet! You got anything in mind??" Hehehe.

-I can say the F word when am really in a grave-bad mood, but spell it outright? On my blog? I can't seem to let my fingers type it.

-I am truly enjoying the marvelous and addictive yahoo messenger, its call and webcam features are simply the best. It elevates my spirit!

-You Tube makes me smile these days.

-Ginebra basketball team is still amazing. After watching their games with the Fast & the Furious combo, Caguioa and Helterbrand in tow, dang - I'd be a fan till I reach 69.

-Bik and Turkey are the sweetest thing in my home. They make the frogs, roaches, stray cats, bad men lurking around and other pests - go away for good. They seem short and tiny but wait till you get to hear their pitbull barks and german shepherd attacks. It would make you want them to adopt.. OR run!

-former boyfriends are bad news. Ultimately so.

-darling white pumps looks good on my feet but never on a rainy day.

-some one is trying to test my anger-management. But I am not letting that "thing". Don't push it though. I got a full load of armor to battle with you. So, DO NOT TRY TOO MUCH. You might just get it.

-somebody you've not seen for years, knocks on your front door and confesses his love to you - Be scared. Be very, very scared. Run! Away!

-I am hooked with Jack Johnson's music. I can't seem to get enough of it. When I wake, when I take a bath, when I dress up, when I get a ride, when I walk, when I work, when I go out, when I return home, before I go to sleep, when I dream - Johnson is in my head. Through his songs, he silently whispers, "lady, you are mine". I love how he came to me.

-I love the whirring sound of my electric fan at 4 in the morning. It makes me want to sleep more.

-For a non-Ipod lover? Boy, am I so thrilled to get myself one! Hah!

-I am back! and hopefully? I am on the right track this time :)

Something to smile about. Part 1.

With the many things I've been doing lately, I still take time to wink and smile and guffaw (like the pow wows during the olden days hehe). I do take time to watch some films, eat out, do a marathon on Korean and Tawainese soap operas, visit You Tube, listen to wonderful music, walk on the wonderful city of Facebook and ogle :) yes, ogling in it's purest form sweets! Hmmm..

Yummyliciousness: treats or treats!

Adarna, Food and Culture Restaurant along Kalayaan Ave., QC

Iba tong lugar na ito sa lahat ng napuntahan ko. Panalo ang mga pagkain! Mababalik ka sa mga panahon na hinehele ka ng inang mo sa kwarto habang ang hiling mo lang naman sa buhay ng mga panahong yun eh makapag-basa ng Funny Comics! Lahat ng pagkain sa Adarna parang nanaisin mo na orderin sa isang upuan lang! Ganun ka-sarap at ka-interesting! Ang pinaka-paborito ko dun yung Humba nila (pata tim, na pagkadami ng mani at ang tamis! di naman exaggerated ang tamis ha, at baka matakot ang mga diabetic hehe) at syempre pa, ang walang kamatayang Piassok (na nakupo! pagkalambot-labot na malalaking pitak ng beef! at ang amoy - wow! nakakagutom lalo!) Meron din silang sari-sari store sa loob ng resto, lagi ko kinukuhanan ng chocnut at lala yun! Libre kasi. At ang service ng waiters dun, superb! Parang long lost friends na sila hehe. Try nyo bumisita AT KUMAIN sa Adarna!

Piassok (wow!)

JT's Manukan along Sct. Esguerra, Quezon City

Kahit pakainin ako ng isang taon ng manok (yung dedbol na po), wala kang maririnig na angal sa kin. The best para sa kin yun! Hindi kumpleto ang birthday party pag walang chicken lollipop at chicken wings. Hindi ayos ang isang buwan ko pag walang Jollibee chicken Joy at KFC chicken. Maski nung bata pa ako, pumapapak na ko ng isaw, adidas at helmet. Kadiri daw sabi ng nanay ko, "masarap naman!" sagot ko lagi. Kaya ng nakita at nalasap ko ang mga lutong manok sa JT's Manukan, solb na solb! Gustong gusto ko yung kanilang isol (pwet ng manok) at pecho. Minsan, nakikita namin ng mga kasamahan ko si Joel Torre mismo (parang haciendero). Hindi ko lang tiyak kung nagseserve sya dun hehe.

Tatoy's Manokan and Seafood at Iloilo City

First time I visited Iloilo City for a workshop, sabi kagad ng ka-opisina ko, "Naku Van, wag na wag mo palalampasin ang Tatoy's dito!" Sabi ko, ano meron dun? "seafoods!" sabi nila. Bukod sa manok, isa pang ninanais ko sa buhay ay ang pagkaing dagat. Kaya talagang hindi ko pinalampas ang Tatoy's! Ang sarap! halos tabing dagat na rin. Sariwang sariwa din kasi. Nakwento nga sa amin nung isang lider na taga Iloilo City mismo, dating manukan lang talaga ang business ni Mang Tatoy. Isang napakaliit na tindahan lang dati. Lumago ng lumago, ayun, ilang kubol na rin ang meron sila at isang malawak na kainan din. Nagkakamay lagi kami dun, ang sarap kasi! Pag nakapunta kayo sa Iloilo, huwag kalimutan ang Tatoy's!

simo't sarap talaga!

walang sinayang na sandali!

Kasama din sa listahan ko ang Teriyaki Boy, Burgoo, Maguro restaurant, Flavors of China, Shakey's (classic!)..Marami pang iba actually. At ang una kong tinitingnan sa isang restaurant, ladies room! Hindi ko na pinakikialamanan syempre ang men's room hehe. Pero kung minsan, lalo na kung nasa probinsiya ako at nagstop over lang, dedma na lang sa toilet. Kung ano ang meron, solb na rin. Hindi na kailangan pang mag-inarte noh. Baka batukan ako ng mga nuno dun hehe.

ZNAP! ZNAP!

grabe ang meat na ito! (nakalimutan ko na kung saan ito exactly sa Metrowalk)

Halo-halo at Negros Oriental City

Kain, na, tara!

up, up and something.

DSWP On AIR

Since May 2008, the Democratic Socialist Women of the Philippines has been conducting its own radio program every Wednesday from 4:00 to 5:00 in the afternoon over at DWDD 1134 khz (AM).

Initially hosted by DSWP Executive Director Elizabeth Angsioco, the one-hour program is now co-anchored by Earnest Zabala and yours truly.

The weekly radio show provides a mass-based venue for discussing and spreading the many issues and advocacies that DSWP supports and fights for. These include the ongoing advocacy for the passage of the HB 1955 or Magna Carta for Workers In the Informal Economy (MCWIE) and a national reproductive health bill.

It also focuses on DSWP's main projects such as empowering women in the informal sector and child labor.

Quick note!

I am not sick. My shoegasm is definitely normal. I am shoe-gah high baby!

A couple of months ago, momma and I went to Landmark in Trinoma to buy some clothes and shoes - for her. You read it right my dear. Hers. She asked me though, "C'mmon, what do you want? I'll buy you 2 shoes and 2 tops. Dahling, you better choose". "Uhm (choke) but I don't feel like getting new clothes and shoes today" WTH?!?! Good thing, momma didn't faint. She looked at me as if saying, "where did my precious daughter go?" When we left the mall, with 4 bags full of clothes, shoes and bags - all hers, I wondered "why the heck can't I feel shoegasm?" Dang. Calmly, it sank in. The recent economy status and never ending high prices of oil in the international market got me. HAH. Such rationale. Oh, sweet me.

However, I found this cool blog called Lookbook that showcases the hotness (if I may borrow her lovely description) of shoes and clothes on some famous (and not) celebrities. Gosh. Am practically drooling over it! I am going to keep an eye on this blog. It will certainly make my days be filled with shoegasms!

My friend and I tried this sexy Steve Madden shoes at Landmark, Gateway. L-o-v-e them both! It fits me oh-so right!

It's raining dogs.

All I Want Is YOU by Barry Louis Polisar (OST: Juno)

If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and green
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

If you were a river in the mountains tall,
The rumble of your water would be my call.
If you were the winter, I know I'd be the snow
Just as long as you were with me, let the cold winds blow

If you were a wink, I'd be a nod
If you were a seed, well I'd be a pod.
If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug

If you were the wood, I'd be the fire.
If you were the love, I'd be the desire.
If you were a castle, I'd be your moat,
And if you were an ocean, I'd learn to float.

Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

Status on YM: I am being SQUISHED!

I would feel the gentle sun and tiny murmurs of breeze from my window every morning, and it makes me want to close my eyes each time, "I want to sleep more". But when the sweet anger-nail scratching of Turkey to our house gate starts, it makes me want to disown him and feed him to crickets, surely, it would make my mornings bearable. But, my conscience is always meddling in. It forces my eyes to open, crinkle it a bit and curl my toes in unison "ahh, morning! how great is that!"

I became oblivious to Turkey's insistence to go out of our yard and play. Instead, I became aware of my pets' harmonious relationship. Bik lets Turkey kiss him on the side of his mouth and (this is pretty nasty, errkks!) they give each other the "tongue" (ewww). Dogs' french kissing, anyone? Geesh. I've been observing these two for months and they haven't changed this ritual! Is there anything wrong with my dogs? (I want my Vet!) or did I just let them grow up in a non-discriminatory environment? And did I tell you that they even hump each other? That's the scariest part! and both dogs are generous to each other. Dang. What an ugly sight. The other day, I was playing catch with Bik (he's very, very good at it). We had more than ten rounds of catch. I grew tired of throwing his "tanso" so I left it on the ground and told him, "let's do this tomorrow. Your Mistress is really tired. Go and play with Turkey now". I talk and point my hand towards Turkey which I think Bik clearly understood. The latter went to Turkey and humped him. I was practically yelling, "Gosh! you're crazy! that's not the kind of play I was telling you! Let Turkey go now! Stop h-u-m-p-i-n-g your brother!" He didn't stop. I almost called Pops! Yikes! "I swear, if you don't let go, I am not going to buy you food!" Bik stopped moving at Turkey's back. He moved away and run towards the garden. Turkey on the other hand didn't look like a victim. If I am not mistaken, I thought I saw him smirked. Who can disown these two adorable dogs who willingly performs for their Mistress?

Have you noticed why it often rains in the afternoon? and it doesn't just give out its usual shower of blessed water and turns the sky gloomy and dark, it is even accompanied by roars of thunders. Every time it blows its frustrations from the sky, the electricity gets affected. When it gets affected, MERALCO will shut it off. If it shuts off, my computer will close down. And when it does, whatever am working will be stopped. And when it does, I will mope under my computer table and say, "sheesh! I haven't finished chatting! Bad luck!!!"And when this thing happens, I will turn to food left in the kitchen area. When I turn to food, I will think of watching a film. And when this thing happens, I'll be trapped in a mall, with all those fabulous dresses and shoes, shoes! and I will buy some. When I buy some, I will regret it. When I regret, it makes me think of going home. When I go home, it makes me want to sleep. When I sleep, I will get to dream how stupid my day has been. Argh! And it's all because of a rain!

How did I let it go that far? Hmmm.. Now, this makes my head twirl.

Oh, did you hear the infectious laughter am giving out right now? You don't?

Well, lucky you.

Usual blog stuff.

CURRENT BLAST:

Die Alone by Ingrid Michaelson

I woke up this morning with a funny taste in my head.
Spackled some butter over my whole grain bread.
Something tastes different, maybe it's my tongue.
Something tastes different, suddenly I'm not so young.
I'm just a stranger, even to myself.
A re-arranger of the proverbial bookshelf.
Don't be a fool girl, tell him you love him.
Don't be a fool girl, you're not above him.

I never thought I could love anyone but myself.
Now I know I can't love anyone but you.
You make me think that maybe I won't die alone.
Maybe I won't die alone.

Some of the Blog Things I have been keeping in my cabinet, want to try some too?

Your Brain is 67% Female, 33% Male

Your brain leans female You think with your heart, not your head Sweet and considerate, you are a giver But you're tough enough not to let anyone take advantage of you!

YEY!!! Am a true purpled female!!!! Wow. Such a relief!

You Can Hang With the Guys and the Girls

You've struck a good balance between girlie and laid back. You can keep it casual but when you dress up, you are as girly as the next girl.

Girly girl. I like how that one sounds.

You Are 96% Feminist

You are a total feminist. This doesn't mean you're a man hater (in fact, you may be a man). You just think that men and women should be treated equally. It's a simple idea but somehow complicated for the world to put into action.

Definitely, I am not a man. Sweetness! Wahoo!

Your PMS Disaster Level: Low

You have a little PMS every now and then, but it's not bad at all. No one probably notices except you.

Ampy! Didn't I tell you that I don't believe in PMS? Hah! Others have it, dude.

Your Quirk Factor: 64%

You're so quirky, it's hard for you to tell the difference between quirky and normal. No doubt about it, there's little about you that's "normal" or "average."

Hehehe!!! Tickle me more! :) You don't get it? Well, that's because I got a 64% quirkiness in me! Gawd. I didn't get that one either. hehehe.

Your Love Quote

Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.

So, who is the desirable again?

He Is More Than a Hookup

You've fallen pretty hard for this guy, which could be a great thing. But if he's just looking for a hookup, this spells trouble. If your guy wants something serious, than by all means, step things up. Otherwise, find someone else who's interested in more than a fling.

Hmmm...So it's not a hook up..Hmmm..Coolest!

You Are 34% Scary

You scare men off ocassionaly, but only very weak men. You're a normal woman. You're not perfect, but you're pretty darn close.

Yey! am not scary!!!! Only with weak men, did you notice that? With weak men alone. Harhar!

You Don't Have a Boyfriend Because You are Too Busy

While a relationship sounds nice, you're strapped for time Whether you're legitimately busy or just making excuses... ... You don't give men enough of your time. As nice as "instant love" would be, there's just no such thing.

Ah..So...that is the reason why. Geesh.
