so i am a twenty-something something somewhere.
i like grrls.
i adore my niece.
i pester my brothers but love them to bits.
if you ask me if i love ice cream more than my family, i'd probably say they're a tie on a good day, and ice cream on a bad one.
zodiac: sagittarius
best compatible with: people who make me laugh, are smart (not necessarily bookish, but that's a plus), and best of all: will cook GOOD FOOD for me (as i am hopeless when dealing w/ kitchen thingamajigs)
having said that, welcome! :D
uI cannot prevent anyone from getting angry, or mad, or frustrated. I can only hope that they’ll turn that anger and frustration and madness into something positive, so that two, three, four, five hundred will step forward, so the gay doctors will come out, the gay lawyers, the gay judges, gay bankers, gay architects … I hope that every professional gay will say ‘enough’, come forward and tell everybody, wear a sign, let the world know. Maybe that will help.

There is love in me the likes of which you’ve never seen. There is rage in me the likes of which should never escape. If I am not satisfied in the one, I will indulge the other.

…I feel a sadness I expected and which comes from myself. I say I’ve always been sad. That I can see the same sadness in photos of myself when I was small. That today, recognizing it as the sadness I’ve always had, I could almost call it by my own name, it’s so like me. Today I tell him it’s a comfort, this sadness, a comfort to have fallen at last into a misfortune my mother has always predicted for me when she shrieks in the desert of her life.

Never expect to outgrow lonliness. Never hope to find people who will understand you, someone to fill that space. If you expect to find people who will understand you, you will grow murderous with disappointment. The best you will ever do is to understand yourself, know what it is that you want, and not let the cattle stand in your way.

The Philippines is such a crazy place, and yet you meet the sanest people in the world there.

My favorite quote about the Philippines. Will work this line into a film some day :)

Human beings are funny. They long to be with the person they love but refuse to admit openly. Some are afraid to show even the slightest sign of affection because of fear. Fear that their feelings may not be recognized, or even worst, returned. But one thing about human beings puzzles me the most is their conscious effort to be connected with the object of their affection even if it kills them slowly within.
—Sigmund Freud (via aspecintime)
I think life should be more like TV. I think all of life’s problems ought to be solved in 30 minutes with simple homilies, don’t you? I think weight and oral hygiene ought to be our biggest concerns. I think we should all have powerful, high-paying jobs, and everyone should drive fancy sports cars. All our desires should be instantly gratified. Women should always wear tight clothing, and men should carry powerful handguns. Life overall should be more glamorous, thrill-packed, and filled with applause, don’t you think?… Then again, if real life was like that, what would we watch on television?

I think it would be nice if women carried powerful handguns.
Here’s to life and wishing it would be more like TV *cheers-clink-clink*
Life, you suck ass big time sometimes. Like NOW.
I demand you to get BETTER. NOW.
or SOON at least.
Harrumph.

Ethical dilemma
- Calvin: Today at school, I tried to decide whether to cheat on my test or not. I wondered, is it better to do the right thing and fail...or is it better to do the wrong thing and succeed? On the one hand, undeserved success gives no satisfaction...but on the other hand, well-deserved failure gives no satisfaction either. Of course, most everybody cheats some time or other. People always bend the rules if they think they can get away with it. Then again, that doesn't justify my cheating. Then I thought, look, cheating on one little test isn't such a big deal. It doesn't hurt anyone. But then I wondered if I was just rationalizing my unwillingness to accept the consequence of not studying. Still, in the real world, people care about success, not principles. Then again, maybe that's why the world is such a mess. What a dilemma!
- Hobbes: So what did you decide?
- Calvin: Nothing. I ran out of time and I had to turn in a blank paper.
- Hobbes: Anymore, simply acknowledging the issue is a moral victory.
- Calvin: Well, it just seemed wrong to cheat on an ethics test.
