sundays...
yeah, its sunday...back to coll 2morro...2nd sem starts on the 2nd...cant wait actually...should me more relaxing than the 1st....or well, im hoping...but doubt it...get to meet my new roomie..get my results...give back my passport...hmm...haha...sounds like there are loads of stuff on the agenda...anyways...im getting so hooked on one tree hill...seen a few seasons before...but just interests me...how complicated things get...but yet there is still hope...and things do turn around...some for the better but some for the worst...on some days i feel like im moving slightly closer to my dreams but on other days i feel like im being dragged further away...maybe its cause of ppl opinions or maybe it just happens 2 b this way...i just guess it has something 2 do with the fact that i was so uncertain in the beginning..not bcoz i didnt know what i wanted, i always knew what i wanted..but just coz of how ppl would react to my decisions...sometimes its hard...coz u'll jst always feel like ur in the background...and tht ppl dont let you b who u should be, but instead, they tell u who u should be...i think the best piece of advice when it feels like its all falling apart....never lose faith, stay strong n true to who u really are...
America's next top model (ANTM)...{transgender contestant}

Is America ready for a transgender top model?

Tyra Banks seems to think so -- or at least, she seems to think that a transgender model ought to be able to strut, pose and vogue alongside female hopefuls in a bid to prove she's the next big thing.
Banks' show "America's Next Top Model" will debut Isis, its first transgender contestant, when it begins its 11th season Sept. 3. It's a progressive move for a network reality series, but pushing the envelope, in the modeling realm and on TV, has become the MO of "ANTM": The show has cast multiple gay contestants, and last season crowned a plus-size model as its winner.
"We want to redefine what beauty is," said executive producer Ken Mok. "You can be tall, you can be short, you can be plus size, you can be transgender; you don't have to be what the modeling industry says you have to be. That was one of Tyra's original missions."

P.S. I love you

i always wanted to watch this...from the start when it wasnt even released...but never got 2 it...=(...so then i dcided...since its the hols..mite as well do stuff i wanted 2 do but never did....so i got my hands on this movie...it was released sometime around valentines...a real love story..and those of you who havent watched this yet, dont hesitate to! if u are into the whole romance thing, etc...u'll def. find that u love this flick...it was abt this lady Holly who was married to an average guy jerry...hes from ireland...she met him while on a coll trip there...they got married when she was 19...and 9 years later still havent had any children...her xcuse is that she isnt ready 4 kids...they cant even support themselves...they arent rich, they quarrel, but they are still deeply in love..sadly...jerry dies...he has a tumor...holly just never gets over it...so on her 30th b-day she gets a cake and a recording...jerry did it 4 her...coz he knew he wouldnt b around much longer and so he planned ahead...in the recording he said tht she will b receiving letters...tht tell her to perform a specific task..she followed them and awaited the arrival of each letter...the tasks included going out, karaoke...and a trip with her gal pals..along the journey she realizes that all the tasks are those tht are related to him...things she did with him and only made her remember him much more...she got angry at him...thinking tht hes only making this harder for her...but in the end she realizes that he just wants her to let go...fall in love again..as his life may have ended but hers is still at its beginning...she still has a long ways to go...she visits his family and lastly her mother..and she sleeps with william...jerry's fren while vacationing in ireland...and later on with a fren...(thinks that she loves him)...but then they both realize that frens is all they will ever be...in the last letter...it tells her that she wil b ok..and tht his guidance has come to an end...and even she (holly) feels that jerry's pressence is no longer with her...but yet shes happy...finally lets go slightly...but he wil always be in her heart...as they say, we should be thankful for the opportunities and xperiences we've had with ppl....and not get upset that it ended...ok yeah, we'll b devasted when things dont go our way...but just b happy that you once had tht person in your life...life goes on...just let things happen as they do and will...dont put a stop to anything!!! =)
being a sick romantic and the whole lovesick feeling..

just thought i would rite abt this...i have left the whole blog unattended...at a certain point, idk...felt like sumthins still stay personal...whether u like it to or nt...deep down everyone struggles...its more of how u handle stuff and carry on...how u pick urself up each time u fall and how fast u do it...anyhow, it varies for different ppl...some ppl find comfort in talkin abt their problems whereas some ppl r fine just keepin it all to themselves...it differs...sick romantics...i dunno...many a times, i feel like i am one...i can say i give up on love...give up on the whole idea of it...or just dont wanna think abt it...but i still do...i say i've let go of the person...left all the feelings behind...yet i havent...i can fake it and fool myself into thinking tht i can lie to myself and eventually it will just go away..and i wil move on with things..but how fast does that work? i feel like noone has the answer to this...loads of times..i feel like i can relate to certain characters in tv series n stuff...i dont know if thts naive...but i just feel that it does relate...on one way or another...i could use many ways to explain this, but ill stick to one...one tree hill...haley and nate hit it off real early...nate helps her find her happy place...n tht is with her music...she later figures out tht she cant find it without being with him...he still loves her but cant go on with the relationship...he stays mad and feels like he cant 4give her coz he cant trust her...doesnt know when he will b able to look past it...haley feels terrible...aggitated at the same time...coz she tries to regain his trust...but it just doesnt work...he loves her but just doesnt know if shes back for good and if he can trust her...so yea, two ppl who hav problems...are mad at each other...but yet, they know they love each other...just a matter of time...and they will never drift too far apart...maybe its a matter of how u feel...that feeling you get when its the right person ( at least feels right at first )....u can tell someone abt it but yet they tell u ur being stupid...but just the little things tht make it feel real...and sometimes u feel certain things are signs...like when ur abt to think tht the person just doesnt care, he/she actually does...or there are the times when u focus on it soooo much yet u arent sure whether anythin will happen...and lastly, the times when u feel the person feels otherwise, but...if they wanted to be with u...u'd totally go 4 the opportunity without a thought...the feeling of nt knowing ur circumstances...not knowing what to expect..so well...thts love...thts life...we may feel we have answers...we may feel like experience just might bring us one step closer to unlocking tht uncertainty...and so if one of us does, we could help those who never even let that thought cross their minds...but i seriously feel like nobody is ever gonna figure that out...its just a matter of finding the right person...tht person who lets u be u...n not tht other person u wish u were...just YOU...
