*sigh*
i just watched the wedding date starring grace (from will & grace) and the best friend of julia roberts (from my best friend's wedding), and it is such a date movie. it's so sweet and so hopeful, and it totally gives a person a very unrealistic view on life... or maybe that's just me. i mean, come on, do people seriously act and think that way anymore? right now it seems to me like it's every man for himself, and too bad for you if you get hurt or left behind. self-preservation is all that matters. oh well anyway, still, i was left with that usual warm fuzzy feeling after the movie that made me wonder when i'll meet the guy who'll be able to make me feel the way the guy from my best friend's wedding made grace feel, until the day i tell him to stop.
so i finally told my sister to book me a flight on the 15th. as much as i wanted it to be a round trip ticket, my mom insisted that it be one way. it makes more sense actually, since i really don't know when i'll be back. but still, having a round trip ticket was kinda comforting, since you know you have to be back within a year. but then again that's life. my mom also bought me luggage today, so i guess i really have to start packing my things already... actually i already started a bit by dumping some things in the balikbayan box, things i know i'd want to bring. but now i have to
really start, since i might forget something here. how sad. the other day i was talking to my mom, and she said that she might not stay long in the states, and she might just go back and forth if she dosn't find work as a nurse. and i asked her, can i come home every so often as well, even if i have work? maybe during holidays, or every 6 months or something. and she said "eleanor, it's understandable if your dad and i come home every now and then kasi may babalikan pa kaming bahay, lupa, trabaho. eh ikaw, ano ba ang iniwan mo?" and i said, "ang buhay ko..." in this very pathetic but joking manner. honestly, i
was kidding, but that doesn't mean it's not true. hay. life. how sad.
i've been peeling like crazy and i'm still very dark. i thought i'd at least lighten a bit, but i guess not. some bora pix. more to follow. ;p
