'Gays and lesbians should be happy society tolerates them.'
On Target
Gays should not abuse society’s tolerance

The Commission on Elections (Comelec) is right about rejecting the application of a group composed of lesbians and gays to become a party-list group.
Had the poll body approved the application of Ang Ladlad, baka tinamaan ng kidlat (lightning would have struck) its commissioners.
Kidding aside, gender should never be an issue in politics.
If there are many gays and lesbians in our midst, fine! We should respect their rights.
But they should not also go around town proclaiming their preferences as if it was a badge of honor.
There is nothing honorable or normal about same-sex marriage or union, which Ang Ladlad is trying to promote.
Gays and lesbians should be happy society tolerates them. They should not abuse society’s doting attitude towards them.

good news?
finally... after a load of anxious waiting...
it's confirmed....
I'm pregnant!!! whew! (again??)
sooo... what's next????
a big big big... OH NO!!!!
When's the Next Time
I have a sinking feeling I'll be performing a limitbreak for work later. That nanonap earlier really shouldn't have happened, plus the coffee. What was I thinking, frak.
The last few days of oversnoozing might have contributed too. I just can't force my eyes close today, might as well put it to a good use and catch the New Moon movie. I'm really hating that I couldn't find a schedule swap today, even with a P200 incentive for the willing swapper. It's bad enough that I'm on a consecutive no show to the troop meetings, I can't even go to the troop outing and be useful. Work's really not scoring any points with me right now.
What a hoot if I fell asleep during a call later. Took me two years before it happened in Convergys, wonder how long the next time would be here.
Blurb
Had a great night last night, meeting up with friends.
It was 2 AM when K was walking me home, talking about absolutely anything under the sun (or moon).
At Starbucks, I saw U's sister, and she said I should eat more because I lost some weight again.
I do not believe her.
I will perpetually be the fat girl, no matter what anybody says.

Somtimes, I get so tired of the way people interact with me.
There's always something they're not saying.
i found it, my miracle..
it was a good night. a time where all the rantings about life was expressed. it was a good therapy for us all. and then after the conversations, i realized we were all victims of love. at some point in our lives we have succumb to loving that one person who made us feel alive , got hurt in the process and then they moved on, they were able to, i was able to before and i will be able to do it now.
i actually feel better now, at least now. i would not know about tomorrow, the pain might come again. when i am reminded of him, the things we used to do, the things we used to share, the things we used to say, the places we go to. but that is a part of it. i have to pick up the pieces or no one else will. i will have to decide to move on, get a life, start from scratch, mend myself. this is going to be very difficult but i know it is possible.
tonight is that night. and although it may seem as difficult as crossing the ganges river. i will do this. i can do this. i am stronger than this. i am better than this. the decisions i have made lately are but momentary lapses of judgement, though i do not regret them,, they made me realize something. when u hit the bottom, there is no other way but up.
i love him, love him just the way he is, no buts , no ifs. and i will always do. but i have to get on with my life because the world will not stop revolving just to pry on my pathetic private life. there are a million people in this planet and some are going through so much worse than this, i should be thanksful. there is so mcuh more to do. my identity should not be attached with him. my happines should not be because of his existence. my voice should be back. my zest for life whould be reborn.
i am done wallowing on my own sad emotions. yet. i will still love the rain. the grey sky. the sad sound of birds humming in the meadow. the lonely boat in the river. the falling of brown leaves. the breeze of summer. the silence of the night. the sorrow of poets. the journals of my past.the tragic love stories. the melacholic music.
and yes. i was looking for a miracle. i found it. in an unlikely time and place.
to be continued..

What are the cards saying?
2 of Clubs: Obstacles to success; malicious gossip.
5 of Diamonds: Happiness and success. A change for the better. A birth, or good news for a child. A good time to start new projects.
8 of Hearts: Unexpected gift or visit; an invitation to a party.
8 of Diamonds: New job; change in job situation. The young or the old may find love on a trip.
my wish
i need a miracle.
yet.
i do not even believe in miracles.

Birds
This one I saw over at The Evening News on TV5:
Amazing, and a bit scary.
***
Scary as the corpse scene in Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds (1963):
***
And, this tribute to Alfred Hitchcock in which the famous director is devoured by one of his most remembered films:
