of all the ironies and supposed to be's...
What I expected: I'm going to have my period on o2.06.09
Outcome: Positive
What I didn't expect: It's going to rain on 02.06.09
Outcome: Positive
This tells us what?
I woke up early this morning, for once. Most probably because I slept early, for once. I had a few minutes to myself so I turned on my iPod and shuffled. But before that, I asked the question: What's my prom going to be like later? Hoping the song that would play is a suitable answer. It played a song from the movie Anastasia, one of my favorite movies when I was a kid. It played A Journey to the Past.
I thought at first: how? It is my first time to attend a prom, dress up all fancy for a school event with my friends. Then during the mass I realized that the event later already had memories in it. My friends and I imagined about this day eversince we were in the fifth grade. In first year, we made plans to go together... and in a few hours we will. My classmates said they were excited to see me all dressed up since I, allegedly, am not girly enough for them.
The prom already held memories of my younger self. And I hope that later, it would be more memorable.
It just sucks that today is my first day (I feel fat!) and that it's pouring.

Lyrics: A Journey to the Past
Heart don't fail me now
Courage don't desert me
Don't turn back now that we're here
People always say
Life is full of choices
No one ever mentions fear
Or how the world can seem so vast
On a journey to the past
Somewhere down this road
I know someone's waiting
Years of dreams just can't be wrong
Arms will open wide
I'll be safe and wanted
Finally home where I belong
Well starting now I'm learning fast
On this journey to the past
Home, love, family
There was once a time I must've had them too
Home, love, family
I will never be complete until I find you
One step at a time
One hope, then another
Who knows where this road may go
Back to who I was
Onto find my future
Things my heart still needs to know
Yes, let this be a sign
Let this road be mine
Let it lead me to my past
And bring me home
At last

LATE.
whoa. wow. what?
geh. corny alliterations.
PAST POP UPS:
- Boys Like Girls concert is ♥ [[oops. I mentioned that already.]]
- I'm FIFTEEN. surprise! surprise! Fortunatelty (or not), I feel the same. On a stand still...
- My Birthday blowout turned out to be a... photo shoot. Not that I mind. :)
- Hmm... what else? Oh yeah! Manga addiction! Credits to my 'servant' (as she insists, I swear! I don't treat my friends as slaves! Often vice versa... joke =P) Mariel. I recommend Koukou Debut, AAA, You're my Girlfriend and more! Hahaha! On a roll. =)
- Fictionpress, still a source of literature for my romance-craving mind.
- Umm... Third Year Pressure?
I'd elaborate the last part. Third Year Pressure = stress and insanity = eyebags galore and pimples. (eww. I know.) And to think I've been PROCRASTINATING all along! I only felt these kind of stress from school work during the last quarter as a Sophie and Freshman. They didn't exagerate when they said 3rd year is the most hectic period in Highschool. Oh and that reminds me...
- Career Assesment Survey and Exam [[The first part I finished since it's short and frankly, quite retarded. The last part squeezed the juices out of my brain.]]
- Intrigued by lives of young disney celebs...
Did you know?
The Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez clash? Yep. Old news. But I heard they made up recently during the former's birthday party at Disney land. The place closed down! wow. (notice the period before) Oh wait wait wait. I got mixed up. The two reconciled during the Teen Choice awards. But speaking of the 2 incidents... David Archuleta! He, together with David Cook, announced the best female artist - Miley Cyrus. And she snobbed them. jerk. So anyway, Archie was also at Miley's party... I don't know how or why, but he is. Speaking of Miley, she's got a new boyfriend (finally! let go of Nick Jonas!), Justin Gaston (underwear model. okay...) AND I just found out that HE was in Taylor Swift's new music video (which I ADORE. saw it on Meg Cabot's website (: ) LOVE STORY. And recently, that Taylor Swift and Joe Jonas just broke up. "He broke her heart." I read somewhere. I can confirm this after reading something on Taylor's MySpace. Poor, beautiful girl. :( He broke up with her on the PHONE! My respect for Joe Jonas went (partially) down the drain. Speaking of which...
- I'm addicted to Taylor Swift! Eversince Love Story, I've been enamoured by her. But of course, in a platonic, fan-girlish way. I'm not a groupie afterall! And most specially not towards the same gender!
See how intrigued I am? Half my post about Disney celebs. Which is surprising since I was never a gossip girl anyway.

Heels Over Head for BoysLikeGirls - 26
Not to mention how much our feet hurt and our voices cracked from screaming, our ears popped and sweat trickled down as we jumped up and down.
But I guess it was all worth it.
As Carllyn and I were desperately trying to figure out what to do, where to go and how to cope up with our blues, we shared a certain thought: What's the difference between expectations and optimism? We're often told not to expect for we might not get what we want in the end. But we're also told to think positive and not to lose hope. Up until now I'm confused.
As we waited in line (or lines since we almost about circled the concierge booth searching for the right one!) we encoutered different people. Strong-willed teenagers, spoiled brats, generous parents and aggressive mothers. We even made some ("somehow") friends! The flaws and unjust methods in Glorietta caused all this. Such a scandal! To think we waited 3 hours to get a ticket and got none!
Thankfully, Eevee had an extra ticket. And we met a guy who sold his ticket to us for Php 300. Well, it may seem and is pricey but when we saw BoysLikeGirls practicing on stage, specifically Martin Johnson, we lost all reason and rational thoughts. We grew desperate. Man, I was even PRAYING and BEGGING to get just one more ticket!
I forgot all about the Meet-And-Greet or the CD signing. I just wanted to be there. Lower the expectations to gain satisfactory results I guess.
And wow. This is the first time I went that crazy ever in my life. In front of other people that is. :) It was such a great experience. A "Great Escape" from the stereotypes. And man! We're they so NICE and COOL and HOT! [[Yes yes. This is still me speaking. Fanpire/Fangirl me.]] They were so humble and awesome! Just plain WOW. Even though I had no material remembrance of today, I think I'll remember this moment forever. This "Great Escape."
When I realized BoysLikeGirls was coming to the Philippines I was on a: Dance Hall Drug.
When we were lining up, then realizing something... bad, I was: Learning to Fall.
When I saw Martin Johnson for the first time, I was: Heels Over Head.
When we finally got tickets, I was: On Top of The World.
During the concert, I was on: The Great Escape.
When it all ended, up until now, I'm learning to: Let Go.

I'm Alive
I hung up the phone tonight
something happened for the first time, deep inside
It was a rush, what a rush
Cause the possibility that you would ever
Feel the same way about me
It's just too much, just too much
Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized, and I just got to know
Do you ever think, when you're all alone
All that we could be,
Where this thing could go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it really just another crush
Do you catch a breath, when I look at you
Are you holding back, like the way I do
Cause I'm tryin, try to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin away, goin away
Has it ever crossed your mind when we were hanging
Spending time girl, are we just friends
Is there more, is there more
See it's a chance we've gotta take
Cause I believe we can make this into
Something that will last, last forever, forever
Do you ever think, when you're all alone
All that we could be, Where this thing could go Am I crazy or falling in love Is it really just another crush
Do you catch a breath, when I look at you
Are you holding back, like the way I do Cause I'm tryin, try to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin away, goin away
Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know
Do you ever think, when you're all alone
All that we could be,
Where this thing could go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it really just another crush
Do you catch a breath, when I look at you
Are you holding back, like the way I do
Cause I'm tryin, try to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin away, goin away

♠ VEGAS.
Tonight, we lie awake
Remember how the coffee made us shake on those long drives?
One more long night
Another seven days
Heartbeat racing
The interstate, my home tonight
For one more long night
I'm sure as hell the happiest I've ever been
We can't hide, we let go
We've got more than we know
My friends are a different breed
My friends are
There's a ghost in this room
I think I'll name it after all of you
And watch it hang over my bed like decorations celebrated
Memories, they came and went in light of all the time we spent
Listening to everything our parents told us not to take in
Now make a change
I'm counting down
The mile marks to every town
And falling more in love
With the distance put between us
We can't hide, we let go
We've got more than we know
My friends are a different breed
My friends are everything
Make this last, take it slow
We've got it all figured out for now
So let us live our lives without a doubt
Tonight we lie awake
Remember how the coffee made us shake on those long drives?
One more long night
Another seven days
Heartbeat racing
The interstate, my home tonight
For one more long night
From coast to coast, I'll make the most
Of every second I've been giving with this crowd
Without a doubt, you're all I dream about
At night we lie awake
We ? shake ? to the nights we felt alive
The nights we felt alive
I would've married you in Vegas
And you've given me the chance to say I do
Couldn't make it anymore obvious, could you
Be anymore obvious
I would've married you in Vegas
And you've given me the chance to say I do
Couldn't make it anymore obvious, could you
Be anymore obvious, could you?
