Che non si dia importanza a tutto ciò che scriverò qui. E' puramente sfogo. Oggi per tutto il tragitto sull'autobus non ho fatto niente che pensare a quello che è successo. Messaggi anonimi. Che aggrediscono. "....masaya ka na ngayon at malaya ka na? masaya kana at nakasakit ka na ng tao? hindi mo lang alam kung gano nasaktan c allan! ipanalangin mo lang na sana wag ka makarma! cge, maging masaya ka na!" "...masarap ba tulog or maganda ba gising? ganyan talaga pag naitapon mo na ang basura sa buhay mo..." "...sana wag mangyari sayo ang nangyari k allan kasi baka isipin mong magpakamatay!" Il primo istinto sarebbe di ignorarli e fare l'indifferente. Tanto so che sono meglio di loro. E non mi abbasserò a quei livelli. Ci sarei anche riuscita a fare l'indifferente. Lo giuro. Finché dallo stesso numero arriva un altro messaggio: "Come stai?" Penso, ma la gente non è normale! Cosa fa questa persona, prima mi aggredisce e ora vuole anche sapere come sto? Allora lasciato ogni proposito di fare l'indifferente, rispondo: "Ok ka rin noh? una mangaaway ka tapos ngaun mangangamusta ka?". Risponde: "Mangaaway?". Allora penso, ah, fai finta anke di non sapere di cosa sto parlando! Ma chi sei? E cosa vuoi da me?! L'avevo anche scritto. Ma non lo riesco a mandare, e ci rinuncio. Rispondo, "niente, non importa". E basta. Sarebbe finita lì la cosa. Ma no, neanche per sogno! Il pomeriggio un altro messaggio. Mi sono rotto i coglioni, cazzo. Non si può più avere pace in questo mondo. In preda alla rabbia chiamo il numero. Chi risponde? Non c'è neache bisogno che lo dica. Allan. Lo sospettavo, ma lo dubitavo anche. Vedi, accettando che sia stato lui, sarebbe crollato ogni riguardo positivo che avevo nei suoi confronti. Però ecco qua che risponde lui. E sai qual'è il bello? Lo nega pure che sia stato lui! Mah, io non ho parole. "...porke't number ko ung nagappear, automatic na ako na un" Ma porcamiseria, mi vede come un idiota davvero. In che modo potrei non pensare che sia stato lui? Non so neache perchè sono stata lì ad ascoltare le cose che diceva. Discorsi vecchi, ferite riaperte. Ferite richiuse. Ma non dopo aver fatto male ancora. Addio per l'ennessima volta. In questi due mesi pare che tra di noi non si sia fatto niente che dirsi addio. "Rimaniamo amici...", "è brutto perdersì così...", "no, non si riesce a restare amici", "addio...", "no, dai che si può rimanere amici...", "no, fa troppo male...", "addio....è ora di lasciar andare...", "addio...". Fino a qui, adesso. In una vera e propria litigata..."sei stanca? figuriamoci io, che ogni santo giorno mi chiedono di te"..."non finisce più questa storia...". Già...non finisce più. Ma forse ora sì... La fiducia non c'è più, non ti credo più, non mi credi più...Intravvedo bugie, cavolate, fesserie, ma non sto più a parlarne. Forse non me ne frega più niente. Non importa più se le cose dette sono vere. Inutile parlare ancora e sentirsi, non si può fare finta ad essere amici ancora... Non so se leggerai questo. Non so chi leggerà questo. Non faccio la vittima, non sto andando in giro a dire che ho subito chissà quale ingiustizia. Assolutamente no. In fin dei conti sono io quella che ti ha fatto soffrire. Sono io la stronza. Mi è stata detta più volte, e per me va bene. Mi auguri che non capiti a me ciò che ho fatto a te? Di non vivere lo stesso dolore che ti ho causato? Auguri che io non arrivi a fare le cose che hai fatto? Penso che tu non abbia tanto da preoccuparti. Penso che sia improbabile che io faccia le stesse cose che tu hai fatto. Perchè quando capiterà a me scoprirò sì, come ti sei sentito. Ma saprò una cosa in più: come ci si sente dall'altra parte. Comments (2)

Wow, blogdrive has changed.. haha. New toolbars, menus, oh and even a "currently watching, reading, planning to get, etc" section. haha. I missed this! September, October, November and December without a single entry. Lots of things had happened, but I am not about to write another bloody long entry, trying to update everyone about everything. I guess I'll eventually be able to narrate everything through time. You know, a piece now, and then a piece later. I just feel inspired again. ^_^ My dream job would be to write but you see, I only write when I am inspired by something or someone. I'm the kind of person that takes inspiration from others, I guess, and not from myself. So even if I'd really love to, I couldn't make a proffesion out of writing.
Belated holiday greetings to everyone! I hope 2006 would be a great year for all of you. As for me, well I have some plans and expectations - no, cancel that. I'd rather say hopes than expectations. I'm crossing my fingers....
Celebrated the coming of the new year in this little town named Vallunga. It's up north of rome where the mountains and the alps are. And where snow falls every winter! It's a real shame that here in rome it never snows. It snows only every 20 yrs or so...Anyway, everything was covered in white the day we arrived. Zio and I threw some snowballs at each other too. The next day and a half it rained almost nonstop so all the snow that was there when we arrived melted. The night before going back to rome it actually snowed again! It was such a spectacular thing! I have seen snow several times before, but snow that had already fallen, snow that covers the ground and not snow that falls! I swear it was really beautiful sensation. Being there under the night sky while the snow fell down.. The snowflakes fell like leaves from a tree, these little pieces of fluffy ice.. Like frozen cotton candy. It was cold but the dark blue color of the sky and the white frozen cotton candy that fell from it made me feel cozy inside. I would have sat there the whole night, looking up and feeling snow fall down my face if it wasn't for the fact that I'd freeze outside if I did. It was the 1st new year that I celebrated away from the city, away from the fireworks and all the noise but that little snow spectacle that I saw was better. Definitely better.
![]() Alright, blogdrive has changed TOO much. I don't know how to manipulate images anymore! Where do I go to change the settings of an image? Like it's height and width? And where do I change the space(pixels) between the text and the image? And how do I wrap the text around the image...? Somebody help me...

Finally an entry!! I am back from the dead! haha. Brace yourself, this is gonna be llloooonngg! I will compensate for all the weeks left without an entry. ^_^ Just got back from a one-week vacation on the beach. I went with my mom and zio to Tropea, Calabria. It's a little town south of Italy. It's ussually a 7-8 hour car ride from Rome, but there were so much traffic and there were construction sites everywhere so it took us 11 freakin' hours to get there. That was by far my longest car-ride ever. hahaha! But it was worth it. The sun, the sea, the sand. It was all lovely! As my friend described it, un paradiso terrestre. A terrestrial paradise. Even if the sea was rough and wavy for a couple of days, the water remained crystal clear. On other beaches when the waves are up, the water digs up the bottom of the sea and it becomes a color of brown of green. Not in Tropea. And there wasn't the usual fine sand - there were very small granules of rock - which was neat because it didn't stick to your skin like normal sand does. I was 8 days without TV nor internet. I just bought with me my CD player and a book, but there was no time to be bored. In the mornings we'd go to the beach and then go back to the hotel for lunch. Other days we spent entirely on the beach then dinner at the hotel. During the night after dinner we'd go see the sights and sounds of the town, until late. The shops and the restaurants were concentrated on one part of the town, the italians call centro - center, literally translated in english. It was located on the upper part of town and to get there we had to climb around 180 steps! Imagine that! It was tiring at 1st but the more you do it, the easier it gets. haha. That sounded like a slogan or something. Anyway, there was a main street there called corso vittorio emmanuelle, where shops and restaurants were lined up one after the other. Every night it was full of tourists walking around. It was like a procession everytime! And they were open up to around 2am especially for tourists. You'd find all sorts of things there. From beach essentials, to clothes, shoes, and of course, the specialties of Calabria: chilli and this special kind of salami named soppresata. Calabria is very famous for their chilli. They make all sorts of chilli products and they put chilli on almost every Calabrian plate. You can say Calabrians have a H-O-T toungue! hahaha. Aside from Tropea we visited the nearby islands too. It was all day cruise in a this mini-ship. 1st stop was Vulcano, where deposits of sulphur can be found on the ground. The rocks were yellowish and it has this funny smell of sulphur. There was a little lake there, filled with mud and sulphur. They say it has healing characteristics and it was filled with people emerging themselves on it! I too, would have have probably done that but I didn't have any bathing suit with me nor clothes to change. I didn't wanna smell funny for the rest of the day, so I said nevermind. Besides, it wasn't as if I had some sickness or anything. hahaha. 2nd stop was Lipari, then Panarea and lastly, Stromboli. This is an active island-volcano. I got to see it closely, I saw the slope where the lava fell, and it continuously emitted smoke too. The curious thing was that it had inhabitants. They were few, but it was also like a normal town, with houses and stores. Pretty neat huh? After almost 12 hours from the time we embarked, we were back in Topea. The islands were beautiful, but the cruise itself wasn't something I'd do often. I calculated almost 7 hours aboard that rocky little ship, and I was just happy to have my feet on the ground again. ^_^ I got to watch the sunset twice too! It was just breathtaking. The sky became all orange and yellow and u have this unexplainable feeling of awe and admiration, and peace and a little of depression too. haha. I'm weird. But I swear, that sunset was just beautiful. Right now I'm thinking an aurora borealis. I wonder if I'll ever see one..? Oh, and I nearly drowned too!! hahaha! I said at the start that the sea was really wavy for a couple of days. But I still insisted on swimming, so off we went. We got in the water and after a while I decided to go back. I'm not an expert swimmer and I knew I couldn't handle those waves. So I started to walk back to the beach. The water was just a little below my knees when this humongous wave hit me on the back and I fell face down. And when the wave retreated back to the sea, it took me with it, making me do a somersault - and I don't know how to do a somersault! I have tried a lot of times in the water but I never succeeded. Good thing zio was there and he helped me get up. The next day we heard that a girl died from one those waves the same day I got hit by one. I realized I too could have died in there. If I was alone I would have never been to get up from that somersault. Alright, I've written half a novel already. If you're reading up to this part, congratulations! you're patience is immense! ^_^ Comments (8)

I'm writing just for the heck of updating. I got really nothing to write about. So I'm just gonna go with the flow, write whatever comes to mind. It's summer and it's friggin hot! I wish there was a pool in this building. So I could go swimming anytime I want. The bathtub is an idea, but that's not swimming. That's emerging your body in water from the neck down. That's boring... Mi sto annoiando da morire! I'm chatting on ym with a friend, she told me about this new band in the Philippines, called Hale. She says they sound good and they're songs are nice. I checked it out once in Limewire but I just found one song from them. All that results from the query is this singer called Van Halen and other songs that doesn't have anything to do with them. Crap. So I asked for titles to narrow my search. Ahh, there they go. Relevant results finally! Anyway, I had to go to the bank for my mom yesterday. I kinda roamed around the shops too. Imagine me strolling around the streets of Rome by myself. Haha. I wanted to buy a new skirt but I didn't find anything that I really liked. I've never been an impulsive shopper. I don't buy anything unless it really knocks me out. I should really really like it before I buy it. Haha. But there are times that I don't think twice. I see something that I just like, I try it on and it fits me nice, I buy it. Anyway(again. Anyway's probably the most over-written word in this blog), I bought instead a real cute two-piece bathing suit, light green with pink and a lighter shade of green stripes. Did that make sense? Too lazy to rephrase...^_^ I also found a new book. O Zahir by Paulo Coelho. Another love story. It's about a man who loses his wife who is a war correspondent. He doesn't have any news of her and he doesn't know if she has been kidnapped, or killed, or if she just simply got tired of their marriage and ran away. I just read the first chapters. Pretty interesting so far. Alright, I'm gonna stop now. It seems I have become more bored after this. Urgh... Comments (7)

This survey and tag thing is really hitting in on the blog world. But I think it's fun. Reminds me of friendster. haha. Here's something from Raissa. What are the things you enjoy, when noone around you wants to go out? - I surf the net, watch dvds and read. Right now I am hooked in blogging. Either I bloghop or I make an entry. Then friendster. Oh, and I really enjoy the articles on peyups. I lose track of time reading blog entries and peyups articles. They are such nice reads. If I feel like watching a movie I go to the videoshop and get some interesting movies. I read books a lot too. It's an absolute boredom defeater for me. haha. What are the things you do to lower your stress or anxiety level? - I breathe. haha. Seriously, it really works. When everything just goes out of hand and I'm about to curse all of the gods, angles and saints, I take a deep breath and try to stay calm. Writing too, helps me destress. I write blog entries and poems. And like I said already, I read. Reading kinda takes your mind off all the problems you have. Going out with friends and just chatting really helps too. I forget most of my troubles when I spend time with my friends. A hot-oil and a nice new do also help. ^_^
FILMS YOU WATCH
What are the five films that you watched and mean a lot to you?
Hmmm, this is kinda hard. I like to watch feel good movies. I'm not much of a heavy drama - action fan. But superhero movies and love stories are exceptions. Spiderman, A walk to Remember, and the likes are action and drama movies but I like them. Anyway, the 5 movies?
1) The Harry Potter series - I know, I know, it's a little bit childish but it's very entertaining and I love it!
2) Mr. Deeds - watched this with my friends back in the Philippines and it was just ssooooo funny! Especially that dude, crazy eyes. Hahaha. Kamukha nya si.... haha, lam, charm, ric lam nyo na kung sino un. haha!
3) Neverland - now here's a deep side of me. This movie has a sad ending. But the story is inspiring. My spirit is the type that's yearning to get away from all that's happening in this world. I'd like to fly to neverland, stay a kid forever and not worry about anything anymore. *sighs* But I realize that's just fantasy. I'm in the real world. I gotta deal with it.
4) While you were sleeping - my all time favorite! It's funny, it's light. Perfect for a boring day. It's one of those movies that leaves you with a smile on your face when u finish watching it.
5) Erin Brockovich - the perfect example that if you put your heart into achieving something and you work really hard for it, you will be able get that something. When I'm about to give up and throw it all away, I think of Erin. She adds, even just a little bit to my inspiration.
I'm supposed to name other people to answer the survey too, but to all of you readers, just feel free to answer it if u like. Let me know so I can check out your responses. ^_^

Magrarant lang ng konti, nakakainis! walang tubig dito! Argh! :-S The irony of it all. Went swimming yesterday with my cousins, titos and titas. After a day spent immerged in water, we go back home and find ourselves without water. Not even a single drop from the faucet. That's the "whipped cream on top of the ice cream" for us. Doesn't make sense? Nevermind. Comments (3)

Wow, it's been long time. More than a week has passed since my last entry. Well, there's not much to write about actually. It's my summer vacation and I'm just sort of bumming around at home. I blame myself for not looking for a summer job early. I could've started sending curriculums aroung late May and June but I was busy preparing for exams. I sent curriculums just the same though. I figured if I get hired, even a month and half is better than nothing. ![]() Anyway, went to Pisa and Florence last weekend with mama and zio. The whole trip was fantastic. We hit the road 5am saturday morning. I had gotten barely 4 hours of sleep but I was pumped up. I've been looking forward to seeing the Leaning Tower of Pisa. We arrived at Pisa around 9am and after getting lost a couple of times we finally found the Campo dei Miracoli, built around the 11th and 12 century, where four great religious edifices stand. The Battistero(Baptistery), the Duomo(Dome), the Camposanto(Cemetery), and of course the Torre Pendente(Leaning Tower). Now I have never been very good in describing, especially religious structures. I'm posting a link for all of you to see. Haha. What better way to describe than to show the pictures itself right? *wink*. The Leaning Tower was beautiful. I have always thought it beautiful from pictures and miniature copies but seeing the real one is a different thing. A few facts about it: its is 55 metrs high, it has 294 steps and is inclined about 5.5 degrees. After Pisa we went to Florence. We got lost gain looking for our hotel. haha. After about half hour of turning to the right and turning to the left and making u-turns, we found the hotel. We decided to rest a little bit from the trip, so I took a short nap. Around 5pm we were up on the streets of.. yesss..Florence! It's actually a normal italian city. Old buildings, shops, and of course churches. It was a bit quiet, for a saturday afternoon. Almost all the shops were closed, except for bars on the tourist spots. We thought maybe they would be open the next day, sunday. Which we found weird because normally, here in Rome the shops are open on saturdays and closed on sundays. Sure enough, they were open sunday. Anyway, first we visited the Dome. Renowned for its octagonal dome and colored facade, I gotta say that's the most intricate and detailed I've ever seen. Lots of liitle statues depicted on the walls. Colored walls. Green, pink, white and gold. It was spectacular. Really beautiful. Then the Piazza della Signoria, Ponte Vecchio and a couple of churches. Click here for more pictures. There you go. Enjoy them! I will be going now. Till next time! ^_^Comment (1)

First of all, my prayers to all the victims of the London attacks. May the victims find peace and their loved ones comfort. And may all the injured find strength to go on and go back to the life they used to live. All these attacks make me excessively think though, that Rome is next in line. The pattern speaks for itself. Europe. Anti-terrorism war supporters (Or should I say Bush allies?). Capital city. Spain, London, and now Rome? I am really starting to get scared. I mean bomb explosions have become the norm nowadays. You hear a reporter announce almost every night that a bomb exploded in Iraq and you can't care much anymore. It isn't news anymore. It happens. But I never thought of it as something that can happen to me and the people close to me. I have always been in the safe zone. I have always been the one to hear the news, not the one who is in the news. Now I realize the threat is REAL. It can happen to me. I can die inside a subway with a bunch of other unknowing people. Or worse, I can lose a loved one. Zio takes the subway everyday during rush hour going to, and coming from work. My mom takes the bus, but I am worried just the same. My friends too, ussually take the subway. Now the word "ingat" (take care, in english) has a whole new sound to it. Now when I say "ingat", bombs, crowded subways and masked terrorists come flashing on my mind for a split-second. And I pray when I see them walk out the door, that I'd still see them come-in again. I know I'm probably exaggerating but I can't help it. My friend says not to worry, that when something's bound to happen it will happen and there's not much we can do about it. But I'm still scared. Italian police forces have tightened security measures and I really hope they'd be able to prevent. But noone can tell. London too, was under surveillance and they were aware of the threat, but the attack was made just the same. I mean noone can guarantee anything. I just feel an attack in Rome is inevitable now. I feel it will happen. Maybe sooner maybe later but it will happen. I hope I feel wrong. Comments (8)
