Movies.

Black. Gives character.

College. "Mabait" kasi ako nung high school. :hypocritesmiley:

college - central student council officer (all 4 years) :hypocritesmiley: at laging tulog kasi lasing, pero dean's list pa rin

post-grad - frat/soro chancellor, wahahaha!!!

Happiest? Whenever I would cut class to have a movie date.

Why happiest? Kasi dean's list pa rin. Wahaha. Got a scholarship,

pero pinakiusapan ako ibigay sa "less financially capable". Gave way. Happily.

1. Kaso strict si Father. After college na daw. Obedient child ako. Very. Brineak ko.

Malungkot, pero ayus na din --- otherwise, I wouldnt be where I am right now. :thumbsupsmiley:

Mabigat sa dibdib isipin what I could have become if I didnt listen to my father.

unforgettable? wala kaming prom. all we had was a junior-senior turn-over ceremony, separate departments (boys & girls).

takot ang mga madre paglapitin ang boys and girls --- every year tumataas ang bakod ng school --- para di magkita ang mga students. :hypocritesmiley:

pero may makukulet --- isa na ko dun.

I buy marieclaire once in a while, depending on its contents.

Both actually, because they offer something different: :thumbsupsmiley:

Books offer vivid details. Movies, a concise presentation.

But I'm a self-confessed movie addict.

"Witch of Portobello" by Paulo Coelho.

Will make you do what you want to do. :thumbsupsmiley:

starting to read "The Zahir" by Paulo Coelho.

that I (ONLY) kick the habit when I hit rock bottom.

that ONLY God knows when...

No. It helps that I've always lived with a certain principle - that is to do what you want to do. Because I dont wanna have regrets. I dont want to wake up one day and ask a million "what-ifs". I may not have done all that I should have done, or all that I'm required to do, but I know I've done what I could and can do, in my limited capacities.

"I love you, yngat ka, kaya mo 'yan." - galing sa tatay ko

"Gudnyt nak." - galing sa nanay ko (every night)

"Anu ulam 'te?" - galing sa mga kapatid ko

"Ganun talaga 'tsong, ayus lang 'yan, walang kwentang tao yun!" - galing ulit sa mga kapatid ko

"Ikaw pa?! Kaya mo 'yan. Ikaw pa." - galing sa mga kaibigan ko nung akala ko di na matatapos ang gulo

WORDS are powerful. Very powerful.

I asked Him to help me STOP thinking about other people's welfare, STOP giving in to "emotional blackmail",

coz it wasn't doing me any good - I was way, way, way distracted. :thumbsdownsmiley:

I wouldn't undersestimate the love I got from my family & most trusted friends,

but it was He who made me STOP, finally. I'm positive about that.

Born a Snake in 1977. (napansin ko lang sa 3pages ng thread na 'to, ang daming 1977.) :goatee:

To quote our dear thread starter ...

... romantic and deep-thinking, wise and charming ...

- what a combination!!! romantic & deep-thinking. that's just us, right. :thumbsupsmiley:

... born charming and popular ... spotlight magnets ... will not be ignored ... never noisy or deliberately outspoken, and they have have excellent manners.

- yes to all. :thumbsupsmiley:

... Determined to follow through anything he undertakes to the bitter end ... makes his decisions quickly and firmly.

- well said.

Most people are secretly or hopelessly in love with Snakes.

- yun na!!!

My share: SNAKES are good --- with EVERYTHING they put their hearts into.

Logging in po ... ka-bday ni Sir Anthony Hopkins.
