ganda noh? sa Puerto Galera yan, kinuha ni ate by her cameraphone. no photoshopping whatsoever. i just resized it. kainis. gusto ko pumunta sa Puerto :'( pero okay lang, Puerto Prinsesa naman ako sa March 3. yey! excited na ako!

my sister is graduating tomorrow :) so happy for her! i am forced to wear something formal for the ceremony- skirt, blouse, and heels. i have several pieces of formal clothing in the closet from cocktail dresses, gowns, to blouses. i don't really wear them but they're just there so that i'll have something to wear for formal gatherings. i enjoy dressing up but sometimes i feel uncomfortable wearing formal clothes because they're plain... boring, i guess. must ready the camera for tomorrow of course, there will be lots of pictures taken because it's my sister's special day. wow. i can't believe she's graduating so soon! before we know it she's going to work already and all that. the graduation is at frickin' 7.30 in the morning! imagine? i'd have to wake up real early tomorrow on a saturday morning! i have make-up classes for my anthro class but i won't be able to go because i want to watch my sister graduate. plus, we'll have a family lunch/celebration after that and my father is leaving again on monday so i want to spend this weekend with my family.

i've been susceptible to irritation lately. i have low patience for tactlessness, that i noticed. maybe it's almost that time of the month. it's either that or people are just plain tactless slash annoying sometimes. i try to understand people who unintentionally hurt me with words that come from their sharp tongues. sometimes i also shrug the feeling off-- thinking that maybe i'm just over-reacting. people don't know that i'm sensitive. they also don't know that i don't know how to stand up for myself most of the time nor do i know how to handle hurt coming from words. i'd get tongue-tied most of the time and wouldn't know how to handle my anger when someone steps on me. i'm pathetic that way. i'd secretly ask God to take care of them sarcastic phoney bastards when i know i can't fight the battle alone.

some time last month this person snapped at me. i just looked at the person in astonishment because never in my life have i been snapped at by a friend (someone that i'm not even that close to). but it annoyed the hell out of me when i realized what this person did. i wanted to tap this person on the back and say, "excuse me, did you just snap at me when i asked you a simple question answerable by yes or no?" maybe i would've done just that if i had the guts to or if i was a war freak. but i chose to bite my tongue instead and "forgive and forget". trust me, i do forgive but i have a hard time forgetting especially if i've already been hurt.

i know, people have different moods and personalities. i'm not perfect either. i'm moody at times when i'm not hyper and talkative. i also hurt people (unintentionally). but the thing is, when you hurt people with what you say and sometimes with even your actions... it's not right anymore. i'd like to believe that there's a borderline when it comes to joking around and it should not be crossed because if it was, feelings may be hurt and you know what they say about words... they are as sharp as swords. wound a person's feeling once, there's no turning back. once the words are out there, there's no taking them back to where they came from.

anyway, enough drama. i guess it's human nature for people to hurt people unintentionally. like i said, maybe i'm just over-reacting or maybe i should blame it on my being a girl.

on a lighter note...i created a photolog so that all my cameraphone pictures will be posted there.
