christmas cheers...or not


Merry Christmas!

It's never too late for a greeting, though it's been two days since the twenty-fifth.

It's been weeks since my last blog entry. So where was I during that time?
I wasn't able to access the net for days because my beloved sister was hogging the net and practically depriving me of it. She was chatting and surfing for what seems to be an eternity, while my incessant pleas for net time was silenced by her cold shut up's. *sigh* Merry Christmas to you, dear sister.

To be honest, I didn't really get a whiff of the cold Christmas air from Siberia that much for me to get all excited for Christmas this year. I feel bad about this, considering how excited I was back then when the Yuletide season comes. It's one of my favorite times of the year, and it disturbed me when I learned that my level of excitement and eagerness to celebrate it was on the rocks. What's even more startling is the fact that I see less and less of excited, shiny and happy people every year who are looking forward spending the Christmas holidays. I wonder if they feel disturbed as I am now.

I spent my Christmas in the province, and I must say that I'm glad I spent it there. I knew that if I spent it here in Manila, I could have not felt its existence; it would have passed like an ordinary day. It was then I realized how different my world has become. While playing with my cousins I kept on thinking of the school work I left at home. When I watched TV with my aunts and uncles, I felt really guilty, bcause I thought I was wasting my time in front of that wretched box. I knew that these days of relaxation and bumming around will be payed for by weeks of book-kissing.

I really felt like a scrooge.
Rather...I felt like an adult.
A freakin' adult.
Ebenezer Scrooge, I now know how you feel.
Ebenezer Scrooges of the world, I now know how you feel.

*sigh*
I'm sorry Lord...
I know it's your birthday...
And I didn't even greet you properly.
Happy Birthday, and I'm sorry for thinking this way.
Thanks for this good year.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
May the good Lord bless y'all.
Four days till the new year...cherish every moment. Milk `em for what they're worth.

and, oh...before I forget...
Happy 18th birthday, Didi! :)
I love you, blockmate and friend!

happy anniversary!


Two days ago, www.theoverriddenqueen.blogspot.com has celebrated its second year anniversary!

This blog was created December 15th, 2004.

Happy anniversary, dear blog.

Special thanks to the following people:

To my parents, thanks for the PC and the internet connection that enabled me to blog. To my mom, you may not understand my blogging habits today, but you will when I become famous. haha. I love you, mom.

To Kuya Patrick Patriwirawan, for the emotional baggage you made me carry in the past. I don't mean this in a bad way...I'm sincerely thanking you for all of it. You made me realize a lot. You taught me things that are necessary for survival in this world.

To Don, for providing me with the emotions I needed to write back then. Thanks for making me feel things that drove me to contemplate and explore my brain for explanations and insights.

To Kuya Gab, for reading my posts and tagging in my tagboard. Thanks for appreciating my writing. Thank you for believing in me.

To Rap, for encouraging me to still maintain this blog when I was thinking of deleting it to create a new one. Thanks for teaching me not to be ashamed of my thoughts in the past. Thanks also for messing up my tagboard when you've got nothing better to do. haha.

To Erica and Grace, whose escapades with me in high school I took joy in writing. Thanks for being the best friends in the world a girl could ever have. Thanks for providing me the humor I inject in my writing.

To Kacie, for commenting and reading my posts. Thanks for being a voice of reason. Thanks for sticking with me. I can't thank you enough for that, bff.

To my new found friends in the Ateneo, thank you for relating with me through this blog. I look forward to more times shared with you guys.

To Ru, thank you for reading my entries. Thank you for the way you make me feel...I'll know what it is...just give me time. May I learn a lot from you. May I learn how to use my heart in writing too. Teach me how. We still have three years.

And to you, dear reader...thank you for taking time out to read my entries, no matter what led you to this site (it may be shameless promotions in friendster, or my status in y!m). Thank you for reading my entries no matter how useless or incoherent they are at times.

May the good Lord above bless this online portal of thoughts and emotions. May He always grant me the inspiration and the drive to continue writing.

Happy anniversary, weblog! :)

kaibahan sa perspektibo


Para sa isang taong nag-oobserba lamang ay napaka-simpleng tingnan ng mga bagay.
Halimbawa nalamang ang mga palabas na napapanood natin sa telebisyon.

Hindi niyo ba napapansin na sa tuwing manonood tayo ng isang game show ay lagi nalang natin nalalait ang mga contestant? Para sa atin kasi, nakakainis na ang pagka simple-simpleng mga tanong ay hindi masagot...o di kaya'y ang lakas magkamali ng contestant sa pagpili ng bayong o briefcase.

Minsan, pati sa mga teleserye o sine ay nalalait din natin ang mga bida at bida-bidahan sa kuwento.
Kesyo ba nagkamali si babae sa disesyon niyang iwanan ang lalaking iniibig niya o pumasok ang bida sa kuwartong pinagtataguan ng multo o ng serial killer. Nakakainis. Nakakatanga.

Parang ang dali-daling panoorin at mag-disesyon para sa mga taong ito. Napaka-simple...at hindi na kailangan pang gawing kumplikado.
Masarap manlait at ipakita ng kamalian ng iba sa mga pagkakataong ganito.

Pero naisip na ba natin na iba ang pakiramdam ng nakasalang sa istudyo sa init ng mga malilikot na ilaw at makatabi si Kris Aquino habang nangangatog ang mga tuhod, o di kaya'y iba ang sitwasyon ng mga tauhan na alipin ng script at ng utos ng direktor?

Isipin niyo, paano kaya sa totoong buhay?
May mga sitwasyon na sa tingin ng mga nag-oobserba lamang ay napakasimple...pero para sa mga taong nakakaranas nito,napakahirap.

Para sa mga nag-oobserba, ang sagot ay oo at hindi lamang. Pula o puti. Pera o Bayong. Deal or No Deal. Napaka clean cut.

Pero para sa mga nakasalang, ang bawat pagpipilian ay may nakasabit na komplikasyon na hindi maalis. Ang lahat ay naka-kawing sa ibang bagay na maaring maghatid sa kapahamakan o sa ligaya. Masyadong mabigat dalhin ang komplikasyon. Hindi ka makapag-isip ng tama.
Kumplikado ang lahat ng bagay. Pakiramdam mo may makanti ka lang ng kaunti sasabog na ang lahat.

Naiisip mo na ba kung bakit madali lang magbigay ng solusyon sa problema ng iba? Ayun ay dahil observer ka lang. Nakikisimpatya ka naman, pero iba parin ang kinalalagyan ng mga taong namromroblema kumpara sa lugar mo . Parang ang daling sabihin na ang tanga nat mali ang disesyon at kilos ng ibang tao. Gaya nga ng nasabi ko kanina, mas madali at simple ang lahat para sa isang nagoobserba.

Pero pagdating sa mga sarili mong problema...ikaw na ang nakasalang. Kung baga sa isang game show, ikaw na ang nalulusaw sa mga ilaw at sa boses ni Kris Aquino. Pinapakumplikado ng emosyon ang lahat. Nakakawing na sa mga bagay-bagay ang pakiramdam. Ang hirap tanggalin ng buhol at ng mga kawing. Pag ikaw na ang nakasalang, nabubulag ka na. Wala ka nang papakinggan. Maski boses ng katinuan napipipi.

Tsk.

Kung pwede lang maging game show audience member nalang magpakailanpaman.
Kung puwede lang wag nang maisalang.

~~~~~~~~~~~
The hardest thing to experience here on earth is hurting someone just by existing and being who you are.

Zoo long exam in 14 hours.
Will start studying at exactly 12 hours before.

*sigh*


It all started with a joke. But it quickly escalated to serious bickerings for trust and belief.

Sana paniwalaan mo ako.
Hindi ganoon kadali maniwala ulit.

I became angry and irritated for what seemed like 25 seconds, then I realized that I had been overreacting. Again, I had let my past ramble with the fibers of my present.

I said things that weren't called for in order to protect this wall around me. It seems ironic, the whole thing---the wall's supposed to protect me, isn't it? But why do I always end up protecting it from everybody else? Am I this terrified? Have I really become this pathetic?

Akala ko iba ka sa kanila. Akala ko nakahanap na ako ng taong maniniwala sa akin.
Sana intindihin mo ako...may mga nagtutulak sakin na mging ganito.

I fought with someone today.
I hurt someone because I wanted to protect myself. How selfish.

I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for being who I am.
I'm sorry for clinging to what I should have shunned a long time ago.
I'm sorry. I really am.

Ru, hindi ako bato para hindi maniwala ulit.

You summoned me, yes?
