A Small Self-Sacrifice

I was at Jollibee last Monday, planning to eat just fries and chill there. Suddenly, this guy approached me and said he wanted me to be part of their photo shoot thing for their annual report. Thinking that I was there anyway, and it wouldn't hurt to play along I agreed to be part of it. He told me that all I had to do was go about my own business and just be there. So I just went on eating and using my phone. :))

There were also three others who were part of the scene, so it was all good.

After a while, spaghetti and pineapple juice materialized before me. They told me that it was just props so, I was okay with it. I was already kind of full at that time, so I wasn't planning on eating it. :P A little more setting up was done, then they signaled the start of the photo shoot. And they made me eat the spaghetti.

Free food.

But there was one itsy bitsy problem - I wasn't supposed to eat meat that day.

At first, I was very hesitant 'cause I was both full and not supposed to eat meat. But I said, meh. Nakakahiya naman magback out. :)) So I ate some and drank some juice and continued to eat some more. Act natural daw eh, so I did my best. =))

In a short while, it was all over. As a final surprise, they handed all of us P100 gift certificates. =)) TALK ABOUT NAKALIBRE. It was such a crazy moment of my life. :))

We all signed waivers as if our pictures could be used for voodoo and cause our deaths, and then we we're done. I finished the rest of my spaghetti because I didn't want to show them any sign of rejection for the free things they gave us. Nakakahiya lang talaga, but I was already so full and guilty. :))

I'm officially a model. :> Or at least an extra. =))

PS: One of those others was Kris. I was with her. :)) They also instructed us to talk to each other, eye contact required. I was just saying anything I could think of, like "Mag-usap raw tayo, so game! Usap tayo! Magsabi ka lang ng kahit ano!" =)) The other two people laughed because of what I said. :)) It was super fun!

Abandoned!

I guess after the super slowerage of my posting, many people stopped visiting my blog. So mostly no one gets to read the things I've been putting here. More proof in the chatbox. :P

I don't really want to advertise it anymore. :)) 

Nakakatamad na eh. Hahaha!

Oh well, I'm still going to post. :)

Rent Flesh

I know that I love eating meat, but seeing raw cuts of pork in the meat section of the grocery earlier made me cringe a bit.

If they're already small and indistinguishable from the animals they came from, I'll be totally fine with seeing it. But the pork pata cut is still a whole, very much recognizable leg. And the one I saw a while ago (which my mom bought shortly afterwards) had the pig's thumb hanging on just by a tiny bit of skin and had a deep cut on somewhere on the elbow-ish joint. I felt sick after seeing that and just stopped observing. It was a bit too much for me, and I was surprised that I felt that way. :|

No, I'm not going to stop eating meat any time soon. :)) But I won't be the one buying it from a grocery. I guess I'm quite sensitive when it comes to blood, wounds and dead things. 

Which is weird, because I can stomach super violent video games naman. =))

But real things are just 120109218309 times worse than virtual things. :P

So yeah, no meat shopping for me. Hahaha.

Surprises

Really, I think you can most easily be made happy if your expectations have been lowered. A surprise can just totally bring the house down for you after you begin anticipating disappointment. :)

Thank you so much for what you did.

You really surprised me, and I'm sorry for thinking that you wouldn't be able to stay true to what you said anymore.

You really made my day. :D

One Fine Resolution

One of the resolutions I made during the start of 2010 was to blog at least 15 times a month. Well, I'm kind of way below that count but I hope to make up for it by making a TON of catch-up posts. The thing about this blog is that not all of the posts should be super long and full of meaning. So I'm going to use that to my advantage and bump up the number of posts in the coming months. 

I need quite a bit of push for this project though *wink wink* so please help me make it through this year as a consistent blogger. :)

That's going on my goals list!

15 posts x 12 months = 180 posts

That means 180 posts by the end of 2010. 

Let's do this.

Goal # 7:

180 posts by the end of 2010.

28/180

About Me: Thinking

So I haven't been able to blog lately because of the supercrazy schedules we've been having in school. Projects galore and exams kasi eh, tapos throw in a bit of Hilites pa. :)) It's a complicated life I live. Well, not really. Hahaha.

I just want to say that I've had some time to get to know myself more. It's interesting to find out things about yourself that you wouldn't really notice unless you paid attention. It's even more interesting to find out the flaws you have and trying to do something about it. Self-improvement can be a really difficult thing to face, but hey, it's really worth it. 

Contrary to popular belief, my greatest distraction is not computer usage. :P I actually waste more time drifting through connected thoughts during the times when I should be doing something else. Thinking, surprisingly, takes up so much time for me that it eats up quite a large part of my time in each day. Yeah, sure, it sounds kind of loser-introvert-nerd when said but my thoughts mean a lot to me. Hey, even this blog is dedicated to house and preserve the thoughts which I deem worthy of keeping for a long time. :) I just like thinking about things because I believe that doing so will give me a better understanding of my world and life. That helps me a lot.

What sucks though, is that even if I understand what's wrong and what I need to do, I have a very flimsy sense of willpower. One moment, I can be shouting at myself in my head and telling myself to fix a certain thing I noticed was wrong and the next could be spent doing the very thing I wanted to change. I have to change that about me, but trying to will be like requiring myself to enter a locked room whose only key can be found inside. The solution is within the problem.

But self-improvement has really been my main goal in recent times. I want to be better because I know I can be better. This isn't me at my full potential. And I doubt I'm anywhere close.

I need help. But in the end, it's only I who can help myself realize my goals.
