2010 Wishlist.
Dear Anonymous,
This is my wishlist. It is somehow unfair for my birthday and christmas to fall in one month. 2 weeks in between to be exact. But I can live with one gift, fine. (Notice the hint of tantrum and sarcasm there. I seriously wanted two gifts but just in case you do not have the budget for making me happy, twice, I could seriously live with that.)
This is in order. It means my number one wish, could be a tad overshooting. Hey why not. Santa could be reading my blog too. Im just not sure if I qualify as nice this year. :p
10. Books (John Green's Looking For Alaska / Meg Cabot's Boy Meets Girl / Bob Ong's Ang Mga Kaibigan ni Mama Susan)
Because one, I have been looking for the first aforementioned book and it's always unavailable, two, somebody borrowed a copy of my boy meets girl and never returned it, thats one of my favorite books btw and three, i have always loved bob ong. :)
9. All the Glee OSTs
Yes. All. But then again, I could be okay with a couple. Hahahaha. Oh and any Glee merchandise. Except for shirts. Or cast pictures (youve got to be kidding if you get me one of those) :p
8. Monopoly Electronic Banking, Cranium 2010, Uno Stacko
Yep. Any of those. Or THOSE. hahahahahahahaha Coz I love being a kid.
7. Red Chucks / Rainbow Chucks
Specifically Hi-cut and the mentioned colors. I can take Blue. Or black. But not anything else. And that's the 17-yr-old in me talking.
6. Scott Pilgrim Hoodie / Astroboy Watch / ODM's Pop-Hour
I love Scott Pilgrim. And Astroboy. I could buy those myself, but those are hard to find in a not-kidding-at-all way. ODM though, is quite pricey. But I love it still. :)
5. Skullcandy Gridlock
I seriously want that. Like it stole my ♥.
4. CK Electric / L'eau par Kenzo
One. I really love smelling good. Two, CK Electric hasnt been available anywhere :'( but Three, I have been Kenzo since college.
3. 8gb iPod Nano Touch / 64gb iTouch
What's my #6 item for if I am not getting a hold of these babies. :) Nano because I am making a watch out of it (see my right sidebar?) and an iTouch but it has to be 64gb coz my music alone won't fit on a lower storage space heeheehee (edit: iPod Touch - gifted. :D I ♥ U psycho. I super love you.)
2. PS3 / Wii
Gabby wants to master Guitar Hero. End of story. (Well, me too. And God of War. And Silent Hill. And... a lot akshuli...)
1. Samsung 32" LCD Screen
Hell to the yeah. If someone will give me a gift this big, that person must be deeply in love with me hahahahaha. But who knows. ;)
If, let's say, you can't find a gift on this list, I also accept stuffed toys, and um... I love Giraffes and Peace signs (not a big one, in case this is an accessory) and Starbucks. So goodluck on making me fall in love with you forever. ♥
Re-mastering Heartache.
Moving on has always been a not-an-overnighter-phase kind of a thing.
I remembered that I hated older people who say "You're still young, we can't explain this fully now but we bet you'll be understanding this as soon as you grow up." Now I'm asking myself, when is that going to happen? "Growing up" has been painfully gradual, and gradually painful all at the same time.
Emotions have always been the weakest point of anybody who has a heart. Humans, according to extraterrestrials on movies, are weak because of it. It has never been featured as anyone's strength, but I seriously think it's both. Love is one hell of a tree trunk with a LOT of branches. Trust, passion, understanding, patience and anything virtuous you could think about. Until, we drown on it, and cross the boundary drawn as a very thin line to patheticville leading to psycholand. Getting back to normaltown isn't as easy as we imagine it to be. But at least, we know, somehow, we could get back to being normal.
It is a vicious cycle as we grow up. It just takes some pondering and waking up, in order for us to notice that the mistakes we make are patterned, if not, made up (that's if, you have some serious issues. Glad that we have doctors for it these days). Or we could pretend that we do not magnify little things because everybody nowadays has trust issues.
Getting hurt by it, is almost the same as going to a battlefield. We dodge bullets, if not, bombs. Some people give up, trying to settle because of the scare, or not taking the risk for safety reasons, some people fight until they got blown up, and some people go home, looking as new as how they came at first, hiding the scars, getting ready for the next battle. I say those are really brave people, if not, really dumb.
So during our rest days from codependency, do we really emphasize the fact that there are a lot of fishes in the sea? Because technically, lets say if we are really fishing, do we become idealistic about the fish we are anticipating to grab our bait? or should I say, we just, you know, settle for a big trout? (If you weren't expecting a trout as I may say). Because in the seas, we strongly feel giddy about getting a fish we actually never expect. In real life, we reject the fish. The fish that we want could be a liar, an asshole, and insensitively inconsiderate. But why do we subconsciously want that? Hence paragraph 4.
I will be getting a year older 4 days from now. I can't say I have grown up. I am still sitting on a plastic horse, going up and down, as mundane as it could get. That I may look like I do not care, but it still gets me. Hurting, I mean, but not on an emo basis. Just hurting. Like what you feel when you have a 3-day gash, plastered. May not hurt but you don't want to have it touched. I am fine though, thanks, in case you're asking. I know, that some are not.
Getting older does not mean you'll get numb. It just means you will know how to ease the pain.
Sucks.
Oh and P.S., it doesn't matter who did what, and who did who, the hurter and the hurtee actually feel pain even if they are not on the same level. Dwelling like a victim is actually less painful than bearing the guilt of the hurtee. It just takes YOU not to be one.
And P.S.S., I just made myself as an example. Generally, I am happy and contented. It just so happened that there are a lot of people experiencing the complexities of life nowadays. I give my cutout wishing star to you.

December Blues
Its the month where I used to see Mama, cleaning up the christmas tree so we could have it standing at the corner near the TV set. Its the month where I used to hear my Papa pressure my mom on buying gifts for their inaanaks and for us. Its the month where I used to hear questions from my ex-soon-to-be-life-partner what I wanted for my birthday. Its the month where I used to hear my friend plan a celebration for it. Videoke rentals, alcohol or food. Its the month where I hear christmas songs a lot and sing along with it.
I used to love the rush, the weather and the people who give their best effort to keep the spirit alive.
So I had this question, what happened to christmas? Or what happened to December? Because I know what happened to the people around me.
I dont wanna be a total crybaby about it, because I have really great friends and I have the sometime-sane partner, dont get me wrong my December will still be awesome. Im just not used to the fact of not having the same previous Decembers. I miss them, yeah.
But the most imprortant part about is, appreciating the real reason behind the season. OMG ARE YOU TOTALLY THINKING THAT I AM GOING TO SAY JESUS? No no, although it's by default that he is the reason this season exists. Its his birthday too you know. I am talking about the people who loved us for the whole year, despite of the lapses, the mistakes, and our other evil personality/ies. The people who stood by us, making us see ourselves whole this month. Unscathed, if not, unbroken.
Or maybe im just really getting old. That I already forgot the feeling of having the element of surprise. The first-time jitters. I overanalyze the taste of puto-bumbongs or bibingkas. I overthink of what gift to give. What clothes to wear. And the lingering WTF about the weirdest weather ever.
But I cant deny that, yeah, im having a different christmas this year. The kind where I will be battling myself if I should even greet them merrily.
Well I guess santa could skip giving me a gift this year. Im not in the mood to be nice. :)

Scott Pilgrim vs The World
I am totally nuts for this movie. Totally.
FYI, Wallace in the movie, is Macaulay Culkin's cousin. No wonder they have this uncanny resemblance. :D
I just hope they still sell the 6 volumes of its graphic novel version. Yes, I will even buy xbox or ps3 just to get the game.
Go get the DVD!!! :D

Official Google Reader App for Android Now Available
Google Reader already had a webapp but of course we cant wait for Google to launch an official app in the market. So yey!
I have been using Google Reader as where to get my daily dose of current events, (with some gossip on the side) and suffice to say that it is really handy once I read my news from my phone. In comparison to the real web Google Reader, the phone version is pretty much the same, except for the automatic showing of the images. Headlines are there and once you click it, you will be redirected to the webpage using your phone's browser. It also has an option if you wanna share it via email, or via facebook or twitter. Suh-weeeeeeeeet!
Angry Birds Seasons now available
Good news to all Android users!!! Angry Birds Seasons is already in the Market today.
I have been inseparable with my phone the past few weeks trying to finish off the game and I have been waiting for this to be available since forever! :D
25 holiday levels (one for each day through Christmas), available now in the Android Market. Also included is the 45-level Halloween special edition, in case you missed it earlier.
