I think I may have said something that might have seemed offensive to some people last night. Waah! I'm sorry! X_x
We were talking about 2 "questionable" brothers, and I commented that "their parents were unfortunate.." It might be misconstrued, I honestly didn't mean it offensively. But this morning, the whole scenario suddenly came back to me, reminding me a bit of that dinner table talk Sarah Jessica Parker had in the movie "Family Stone", you know, the one where she had to leave the house after and everything.
I only said it cause I've been reading about Brad and Angelina (latest issue of reader's digest) and about how Brad really wanted a biological child. And then, there's Will and Grace. Every time I catch it on TV lately, for some strange reason, I end up watching the same story arc about how Will wanted to have a kid with Grace (3 times I've seen the same episode, consecutively too. Tsk tsk). Hence my subconscious thought was that maybe a lot of people face the same problem. But Levs is right, adopting is always a good option, in fact, after reading more about Brad and Angelina, I'm starting to think that more people should adopt. The ratio of kids needing adoption to couples who want to adopt are so skewed. :(
Which reminds me, I saw an article in the PD Inquirer that Filipino orphans are now open and available for adoption to foreign couples. The article concentrated on a sickly child who now had better hope of good medication and support, but then, this reminded me of an episode of Law&Order, where a little baby was adopted from Russia, but was abandoned in the US after the adopting parents learned that she was sick. She died very soon after, even though she could have lived had she been properly cared for. I remember a striking phrase said in court by the doctor who issued her health certificate for adoption, about how the adopting parents wanted to adopt a "perfect child" and that such a thing isn't possible, cause God doesn't makes perfect people, etc. I really pitied the child who died. But anyway, at least good people like Brad and Angelina are helping to raise awareness about such things. I honestly think that those two are helping to make the world a better place. :)
The issues, the issues... But anyway, if anyone was offended, I'm really sorry. :(
On a lighter note~

Not really light, but lighter at least. Hehe..
Anyway, I just remembered a silly incident that happened last week. I was sitting on our rocking chair, supposedly studying for my auditing exam the next day when, as usual, I spaced out. Hehe.. When Bianca suddenly entered the room she frowned at me and asked: "Why are you so happy?" She was giving me quite a stern look that indicated that she was probably weirded out me. ^_^; And no, I was not all happy because of my auditing book, I was happy cause I was thinking about this movie I just watched. I am, after all, an expert in procrastination. ^^;
One time, I even managed to get our entire study room rearranged just cause I had this urge to do so before I could study. I mean, I couldn't start unless it was done. @_@ It took three of us, but we eventually managed to move our TV set to one side, the couch to another, the computers together in one area and the table in the middle. If you ever get to visit my house and see the change, you'll know it was because I was procrastinating. Not that I could help it. I sometimes think a weird short-term compulsive disorder gets triggered in me just before I study, so much so that I just HAVE to fix things. -_-
Moving on.. I finished a book this week! It took me more than a week, actually, but it's an accomplishment nonetheless! *Cause I fully intend to maximize my last free week before the string of exams that will last till finals* The book's called "Girl with the Pearl Earring". I'd describe it as a book with underwater emotions. ^_^ Few things are spelled out, but you kind of get the feeling of this and that.. quite interesting. Plus the story is unusual. :D Although, I rushed my reading it cause, quite embarrassingly, a classmate of mine picked up the book and opened it to a random page. Unfortunately, this "random" page just so happens to contain the single most icky part of the book. Single. Most. Icky. The one yucky part of the book, and that's what she sees as a sample of the rest of the book. That's just my luck. -__-
And I've been improving my gif skills. Not as intricate as Stacy's cute dancing kada emoticons, but dancing emoticons nonetheless. :)
PLEASE PEOPLE! I need you help! If you know anyone who'd be interested to join a street dance competition or a body painting competition, please text me or leave a message in my chatbox! I need it for an org event, and we're lacking participants! Help! And also, if you're free on the 14th, please attend our event. We've been working hard for this.. T_T

DO NOT READ IF YOU AREN'T IN THE MOOD TO READ THE RANTINGS OF A PISSED OFF AND SELF-PROCLAIMED-DEPRESSED PERSON!
As predicted, I've been feeling a little down lately. Again, I don't know exactly why, but there are so many little reasons I can think of that COULD say why. Anyhow, sometimes, in the midst of one of my darker moods, I suddenly feel like blogging. And then I feel how appropriate black is for my blog. Although sometimes, when I particularly dark mood settles over me, I kind of feel like I want it darker. Though I can't see how. -_- But of course I can rarely get my hands on our computer since my sister keeps hogging it all night.
But anyway, people are really getting ready to graduate. I heard from Bong and Rachel that they had their grad pics taken already, and it saddened me a bit. Then Bong and I were talking and we remembered our old plan as sophomores to repeat the weekly lunch out thing, something that has and (i expect) will never happen. Long gone times. u_u
I often find myself thinking, "...and who would have thought that would be the last time..". Like the time when the Powerpuff sat in the sunken after our Stat exam(?) waiting for CE's talent night, just talking till the sun had set, though I don't remember what we talked about anymore. We promised ourselves to do it again when our acads were no longer so tight. Then that batch anniversary with RPT '04. Who'd have thought it would be our last time together as a complete batch? I don't think we even have a picture with all of us in it. Now my buddy has gone abroad, so has another batchmate, while the others have graduated and are too busy with work to coordinate schedules. How fitting that we had our last dinner together in *that* special place.
Thinking such things now makes me wonder things that make it all worse, like how this year could be the last Christmas of the Kada together, how a lot of my college friends are about to graduate, etc. T_T
I don't think I'm as cheery as I was in high school, although at times I still am. That's age catching up with me I guess. People around me are growing older, or getting more mature, and moving forward, and I'm inevitably just here, where I still am, left behind to watch your backs move further away.

And then there's the stress of school work to add cherries on top of my misery. Every Wednesday or Monday morning, if it isn't an exam (which I'll be having at least once every week till the end of this semester), it's a make-up class or a seminar I have to attend. Hurrah.
Last week I had three exams, and by the time I was preparing for the third, I was pretty tired and discouraged and urgh. I think I might be temporarily burning out. @_@ And then, the morning before the third exam, my earphones snapped into two cause it got caught between the chairs of the Pajero. I know it's seems like a little thing, but it got me depressed enough that I wasn't able to finish reading the last chapter of my book for the exam. Yes, shallow. I know. But then again, I'm used to studying with my music.
Then the teacher of one of my hardest subjects decided to schedule our next exam to the day after EA. Crap. EA, as some of you might know already, is the event I've been helping to organize all sem. It's a street dance party, etc, which usually lasts till the wee hours of the morning. And traditionally, I usually hang out with some CE friends afterwards. Considering it's the last EA of most of my CE friends, I'm a bit disappointed with the exam's crappy timing. -_-
Haaay~ Forgive my rantings about my life right now. I think I just lack sleep and have been letting the gloomy weather get to me too much. I intend to start watching a series or to read a good book soon (if I find one), which will hopefully help lift my mood. @_@
