Why do we argue ALL THE TIME? I don’t get it normal people don’t argue as much as we do.

I have this weird habit of going through archives of magazines. I don’t know why, I guess it’s kindda funny to have these drawn out articles about certain people who aren’t even talking anymore.

Like old Britney and Justin articles. Or articles about Lance Bass dating random girls, that’s kindda hilarious–admit it.

But going through articles like these made me realize one thing and I’m not sure if I should be happy or sad about it: It made me realize that I would be old one day and probably these blog entries won’t even make sense or create much impact to me anymore.

It’s kindda sad that soon enough my blog entries would simply be archives of my past life and I wonder if I would have any similarity to the girl who’d be reading this five years from now.

I was talking to an old friend last night and I was taken aback by his comment: “You’re a lot nicer now, you know?”

I didn’t have a comeback for that because I always thought that I was nicer two years ago when our friendship started and not the other way around. I honestly thought that I was kindda bitchier now, you know? Like I developed a stronger sense of self.

That’s when I realized that that may be the reason why I was nicer. It was because I was finally secure with who I am.

Of course, I’m no saint and still insecure most of the time but not as bad as it used to be, my insecurities no longer get the best of me.

And in one way or another, I explained that to him and he sort of understood.

But back to the topic, I don’t know why I keep jumping from one topic to another.

So, I don’t know if I’d still be the same person or if I’d actually still be using this blog (I hope to be consistent, my journal has long gone).

Isn’t life IRONIC?

I hope you are AWARE OF THAT!

One Tree Hill

I finally had the time to buckle down and catch up on my One Tree Hill episodes. No matter how much I love Gossip Girl and Ugly Betty, I don’t think I’ve ever been so taken by a show the way that One Tree Hill has taken me. I was so into the whole drama that my younger brother Carl had to make this clever comment, “Ate you haven’t moved since you switched on the DVD. You seriously need a social life”

Gee, thanks Carl.

I really couldn’t protest since my baby brother is sort of like the King of his High School. His cell phone doesn’t stop alerting annoyingly, the landline doesn’t stop ringing, his YM is turned on 24/7 and he’s part of every single club that his school has cooked up.

So no, I couldn’t really argue with that.

Nick Jonas and Miley Cyrus

Speaking of my baby brother, Carl, he probably doesn’t want you to know this, but he’s as absorbed as I am in the love lives of the reigning king and queen of the POP world, Nick Jonas and Miley Cyrus. Just this morning, we got into a rather fascinating conversation about the latter’s catchy new video, 7 things.

I have no idea but I find it extremely cute that Hannah Montana is trashing her ex-boyfriend through a music video. Isn’t that smart marketing or what?

As a faithful Marketing student, I honestly think that it’s great how their managers or whoever it is that handles these kids make it appear so real. Remember when Britney and Justin were doing the same thing?

We never learn our lessons. We always fall for that marketing trap. Whoever invented it, I salute you. You are sheer genius.

So Nick Jonas, any videos that would be solely dedicated to Miley? But of course, in its true nature, you wouldn’t even admit it. (I guess the fact that he featured his latest GF, Selena Gomez in his new video is enough of a bitchslap. Good Going, Boy)

Marketing Trap or not, I actually enjoy watching these things. So BRING IT. (I just don’t get the fact that these kids are so engrossed in their love lives, how old are they anyway? 12?)

OBAMA

True to the essence of Mccain’s ad, Obama is the biggest celebrity in America, if not the world. However, I don’t think it’s because he’s likened to Paris, Britney or Lindsay. It’s probably because people are curious and you can count me as one of those curious people.

I’ve been following his campaign trail way before he was nominated and I truly believe that this guy can do something with the world and America’s blundering economy.

I think I can relate to him because just like me, he’s young and idealistic and he’s truly trying to make a difference. I think it’s that undaunted passion that’s attracted me to him. You see, a guy can have so many plans and a lot of things he wants to have changed but at the end of the day, it’s more than that. At the end of the day, it all boils down to passion and commitment. And I think he has both.

Thumbs up to his running mate pick! I think he made a good choice and at least he’s humble enough to admit that, well, he doesn’t know everything but with a little help, he’ll get there.

Jacob vs. Edward (Eclipse Teaser so if you haven’t read it yet, move on to the other topics)

I swear if I knew where I can find Bella Swan at this moment, I would totally totally slap her in the face and maybe pull some of her hair out. She’s so unfair and selfish! It’s not possible to love TWO PEOPLE AT THE SAME TIME!

And Edward is such a sweetheart. She actually forgave her for thinking that she’s in love with Jacob (she’s delusional) and thought it was actually her fault. It got me thinking though, I mean there’s always someone who would pick you up once someone else shatters you, and usually it’s the most unexpected person. Do you actually fall for that person because he’s the one that puts you together? Or is that totally unfair because you really don’t feel the same passion and you’re just clinging to the person out of need?

What did I tell you? Selfish. That’s what Bella Swan is. Selfish, selfish, selfish.

I hope the next pages would not disappoint me. Be SMART BELLA!

Family

When did we grow up and start taking care of our families and not the other way around? That’s my only comment on this topic at the moment.

Office Politics

I’m happy with where I am right now because I know that this is where the Lord wills me to be at this point of my life, but really now, why is office politics so dirty? And why do people forget the lessons that they learned in Kindergarten? You know little things like being polite, learning how to say thank you and not ignoring people who make an effort.

It’s ridiculous. Office politics are so crazy and the sad thing is: It’s evident everywhere and everyone participates, even those people you used to think so highly of. They’re all into the crab mentality crap as well. BOO!

And Lastly, it’s my turn to belt it ala MILEY (You know who my Nick Jonas is):

But really if I had a video dedicated to you, I wouldn’t be able to show any thing from you because honestly honey, you never really gave me anything to begin with.

I probably shouldn’t say this
But at times I get so scared
When I think about the previous
Relationship we shared

It was awesome but we lost it
It’s not possible for me, not to care
And now we’re standing in the rain
But nothing’s ever gonna change until you hear, my dear

The 7 things I hate about you
The 7 things I hate about you, oh you
You’re vain, your games, you’re insecure
You love me, you like her
You make me laugh, you make me cry
I don’t know which side to buy
Your friends, they’re jerks
When you act like them, just know it hurts
I wanna be with the one I know
And the 7th thing I hate the most that you do
You make me love you

It’s awkward and it’s silent
As I wait for you to say
What I need to hear now
Your sincere apology
When you mean it, I’ll believe it
If you text it, I’ll delete it
Let’s be clear
Oh I’m not coming back
You’re taking 7 steps here

The 7 things I hate about you
You’re vain, your games, you’re insecure
You love me, you like her
You make me laugh, you make me cry
I don’t know which side to buy
From http://6lyrics.com
Your friends, they’re jerks
When you act like them, just know it hurts
I wanna be with the one I know
And the 7th thing I hate the most that you do
You make me love you

And compared to all the great things
That would take too long to write
I probably should mention
The 7 that I like

The 7 things I like about you
Your hair, your eyes, your old Levi’s
When we kiss I’m hypnotized
You make me laugh, you make me cry
But I guess that’s both I’ll have to buy
Your hands in mine
When we’re intertwined, everything’s alright
I wanna be with the one I know
And the 7th thing I like most that you do
You make me love you
You do

1) I’m Obsessed with the Twilight Series

I’m reading Midnight Sun right now and got frustrated that I couldn’t print it out since I want to read it this weekend.

2) I still enjoy high school sanctioned events

Being part of the IB Team brought me back to being a high school student again and I thoroughly enjoyed thier “Rockin’ IB” Concert last night. And let me tell you one thing, spending the whole day with these kids can be very therapuetic. And no one can argue with the fact that I still look like a high school student 😀

3) My playlist consists of songs that would embarass any legal aged, employed citizen of the Philippines, so don’t even ask what’s on it. . . But listen to Ne-yo’s new album: LOVELY.

4) I have all of these silly infatuations!

For the past six months, I tried to act all mature and try to like guys for their brains, what they finished and how interesting conversationalists they are etc etc, but I didn’t realize how boring that can be! So i’m going back to the old adage of liking someone just because he’s cute. Don’t worry, I’m not getting engaged anytime soon anyway 😀

“Well, I wasn’t going to live without you..” He rolled his eyes as if that fact were childishly obvious. “..but I wasn’t sure how to do it. I knew Emmet and Jasper would never help so I was thinking maybe I would go to Italy and do something to provoke the Volturi.”

As you leave the house Edward Cullen would say: “Come back to me, love.”

As you come back to the house, Edward Cullen would be welcoming you by playing the piano with a song just for you.

Edward Cullen buys you a car.

*A normal guy does it with everyone.
Edward Cullen only does it with one.

I was tagged again so I decided to make things interesting: 5 things you thought you knew about and 5 things you ought to know… just because J

Five Things You Ought To Know

1) I’m a creature of habit:

Meaning if I order Café Mocha from Starbucks, most likely I would be ordering that until I get sick of it, which usually takes about three years. I’ve been drinking that for the past three years, I only changed my taste recently, like two months ago. This also applies to my sleeping habits, I cannot be bothered after nine-thirty PM. I also have this equally weird habit of waking up at six am no matter what time I slept the night before.

2) I’m insanely obsessed with the “Twilight” series right now:

Enough Said! That series is incredible! Someone should have told me about it earlier or I should have listened to my friends when they said that it was a good series.

3) I’ve always liked the “odd” one out:

I have a knack for fixing things that aren’t necessarily broken but at the same time not perfect as well. I’m easily drawn to people and situations that I have to “fix”. In other words, I love saving people, even when they don’t need to be saved. Feeling superhero eh.

4) I’m a frustrated dancer, singer and artiste period:

I wish I could draw really well. I wish I could be graceful enough to be a cheer dancer. I wish I could sing well. Puro I wish, which is why my dad always says, “Carl, it’s a good thing that you did well in college” *snicker*

5) I wanted to be a part of ANG TV:

Ay, remember the opening credits? Where they posed a lot while their names were being scrolled. I perfected that pose. Seriously.

Five Things You Should Know (five Carla myths debunked!)

1) Carla is not dating the act-uhur, the su-hnn or the pleyyerrr:

I don’t know why oh why a simple girl like me who would rather stay in would be thought of dating several guys at the same time. So, just in case you’re curious, I am not dating anyone at the moment. I’m simply flitting. But not to any of those mentioned above. I do have taste *wink*

2) Carla is not a flirt

Just because I’m friendly to guys or give them food on a daily basis (I give food to everyone on a daily basis) doesn’t make me a flirt. God knows I’m too uptight for my own good. 😀

3) Carla wears her heart on her sleeve

If I like you, it shows. If I don’t like you… it shows as well. But don’t worry I don’t judge right away. I just get annoyed, but don’t take it personally, a lot of things annoy me but that doesn’t mean that I hate you or anything. I’m a pretty nice gal, you know?

4) Carla still has her purity ring

I haven’t given up the promise I made when I was thirteen. My purity ring is hanging around my neck and if you’re one of my closest friends then you should know what that means.

5) Carla is not high-maintenance

Yes. You can take me to Jollibee and I’d be the happiest girl on earth. You can get me dirty ice cream and I’ll fall in love with you. However, if you bring me Hany or Chocnut then I will love you forever in a Bella-Edward sense. J

10 Conyo-mandments

When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it’s not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.

-Twilight (A series I’m currently addicted to!)

There are just some things you can’t help but go back to. In my case, the following seem to deem fitting:

Harry Potter Books Six and Seven

Baby-sitters Club

Arthur, Little Lulu, Shelby Woo and Clarissa Explains It All *Thanks To Youtube, of course)

Writing Fiction (I thought I didn’t have enough time to actually start writing again)

Old Friends (You know who you are *wink*)

Toasties

And to add to the long list: YOU.

I’ve actually been doing quite well, you know? I have moved on. I’m not as antagonistic as I used to be towards you but at the same time, I no longer think of you 24/7. I’ve moved on from not having you in my life, I’ve gotten used to the idea of it… But then again, you do something sweet and charming like you did earlier and if I wasn’t strong enough, you would have swept me off my feet again.

It’s your charm, your uncanny ability of making me smile. From the moment I met you, you always made me smile J

Which is truly unfair, boy because as I’ve exhaustively said in my previous entries, you don’t deserve me, so what would the point be right?

What’s the point of going through all the torture again that wasn’t even worth it?

Okay, maybe you were worth a little *wink*

Fact of the matter is and this isn’t something that I would want to admit to you but then again, here it goes: I miss you.

So, I guess the whole point of this entry is to tell you that and whisper a “thank you” because if you were trying to make me smile, you were successful in doing so.

When will our sage ever end?

Michael Phelps

Do I really need to explain why? This guy in one word is amazing. I think any girl would fall in love with a guy who’s so determined. God knows there are too many guys who don’t have enough passion to save his life. It’s nice to see a guy who knows where he’s going and knows exactly how to get there.

Barack Obama

Just because I know that this dude will save the world. Just watch.

Shia Labeouf

Just because I still have this knack for saving people and Mr. Indiana Jones needs a lot of saving.

Chace Crawford

This is one guy with values. In one of his many interviews, superhandsomemyhusbandtobe, said that he doesn’t agree with the values of Gossip Girl and would rather do away with certain scenes that wasn’t in line with what he was taught when he was younger. He also studied for Pepperdine University for awhile, so you can’t say that he doesn’t have the brains.

Chace, MARRY ME, PLEASE 🙂

Joe Jonas

Do I really need a reason? 🙂 he’s cute 🙂
