..long time no-see..
When you’ve been gone for so long, it feels as if a part of you’s been missing… haha!! I won’t be all emo here.. but it’s been more than a week since I last posted and there are lots of things I have been waiting to jot down here..
Justice works in Mysterious Ways
Yeah.. just like God.. there really is justice in the world. First, JonBenet Ramsey’s killer has been finally caught after 10 long years of searching for him. So, who’s JonBenet? Well, I’ve been intrigued by her story since I was young and her murder was the one responsible for launching my weird fascination with serial killers and pedophiles (yeah.. weird.. I know). She was a young beauty queen contestant who was found murdered in her home the morning after Christmas, 1996. Her autopsy revealed that she had been beaten, strangled and sexually assaulted. I took pity on this kid since she didn’t deserve dying—at that age and that way. She could have done so much and whoever did this really deserved to die.
Fast forward to today, her killer – a schoolteacher- confessed to her murder. During his confession, he openly told the authorities how much he was “obsessed with her” and how much he “loved her”. During JonBenet’s murder, he was 31. Gosh, things like this really make me sick to my stomach.
The second incident involves my Youth Pastor at my former church. His contract was not renewed and I heard he’s going to be leaving in December. This was the same guy who “exercised” his leadership powers in telling me and my bestfriend that “we didn’t belong” in the Junior High class just because we didn’t want to move up to his Senior High class. He kept on babbling and babbling—but since I didn’t want to shout in his face, I just got up and walked out. Since then, he’s been doing the same to some of my classmates who refuse to move up to the other class. The last straw came when he fired my bestfriend, Ate Angel, on, what I call, insufficient grounds. He said she was “talking against him and misproclaiming the word of God” when really he was threatened by her because everybody loved her. Sorry, dude. Go back to Latvia.. and take your precious Latvian flag with you. The flags in the Main Sanctuary would decrease by one—and that’s your flag. But it really doesn’t make any difference since you were the lone Latvian population there. See you!! Won’t be missing you!!
Update on my Debut Article
It’s hard to be a budding campus journalist!! Yeah.. especially when you’re working in one of the most-praised university newspapers in the whole country!! Urgh!! Sooooooooooo stressed!!!
My assignment’s about the Common Beauty Stereotypes—and how they seem to be erasing the typical Filipina identity. I just realized how much influence the media portrays in every move Filipinos make. Actually, I feel as if they’ve brainwashed our minds into changing what the definition of the word “beauty” and how it relates to our society. Filipinas want to be like Americans – fair skinned, blonde with blue eyes. Americans, on the other hand, want to be just like Filipinas – dark skinned and brunette. Crazy world we live in, huh?
FINALS!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Finals week—I only have to worry about POLISCI since TREDONE and MATAPRE and wrapped around my finger. Of all subjects to give finals in!! IT HAD TO BE THAT!!! Now I’m stuck here at home reviewing my notes from Pluto’s Utopia to the Checks and Balances system existing within the three major branches of the government. But thank God the first term’s coming to an end.. NO MORE POLISCI!!! Wheeeee!!! However, my dreams of reaching the Dean’s List are slowly disappearing.. Part of my feels that I am still going to make it, while the other greatly doubts the possibility of me still making it. I have worked hard. We’ll just see come Course Card Distribution Day.
Happy One Month!!!
One month tomorrow.. im really excited!! It’s been a month since Shiftee and I officially became a couple and we’re just happy that everything’s been falling into place since July 21.. happy monthsary, hunny!!! I’m just soooooooo blessed to have you with me…
“I don’t wanna miss one smile.. I don’t wanna miss one kiss.. I just wanna be with you right here, right now.. With just one kiss…
I just wanna hold you close.. Feel your heart so close to mine.. and just stay here in this moment, for all the rest of time…”
I LUV YOU HUNNY!!! <07.21.2006>
