The fixing took hours and we decided to go to National Bookstore, the only shop I like in the mall. We were browsing classics and saw that the prices were marked down and since both of us were suckers for contemporary classics (I love my sister for being sucky that way), we both took our pick. We only had one problem. We don't have cash so before we went to the counter and spend all the money Mama gave us, we stopped ourselves and went to the sale rack. I found a compilation of Truman Capote's (the guy who wrote Breakfast at Tiffany's) letters and decided to buy the book for the following reasons: 1) it was cheap, from P795 it was marked down to P30 and 2) I was genuinely interested in the art of writing letters.<br><br>I was never a fan of writing letters.

So as people and the moments they create. A shift of context could be so painful that even the physical becomes unimportant. Seeing the same person on a context so different (from anticipation to dread) is like missing someone who is there right in front of you.<br>I have never tried describing in great lenghts how it is to lose him. I didn't find it necessary except for a few friends and myself. Almost everyone in my circle knew something happened, they just don't know what exactly. These past few days, I constantly catch myself explaining to myself what happened, squeezing out all understanding left, trying to make sense from parts I haven't found sense yet, to no avail.<br>Discussing him and what happened to other people wears me out. And as time passes by, people become uninterested. To them, it was a failed schoolgirl crush.

Photographs are pieces of lies. They give a sense of permanence to life and being. It concretises the unchanging. It makes it a bit more real when in reality, in the context of the world, it does not exist. Photography is a con-art that tricks time in such treachery that utilizes everything natural, light, being the most natural of all these, to create something unnatural, something that in the first place must not be made real. It freezes the living/non-living/pseudo-living when everything moves in paces that no one can catch up to--a pace that makes everyone who attempts to imbibe it, failures, forcing them to live what is left with their pseudo-lives miserably. http://iamfaithful.multiply.com/journal/item/192/Photographs_are_pieces_of_lies. Sun, 23 Aug 2009 13:02:56 -0000 http://iamfaithful.multiply.com/journal/item/191/Click_and_then_Gone I am emotionally attached to chickens and how unhappy they are once I eat them. My question is this: Would it be better if we let chickens be happy while they are alive or just leave them with the impression that life is miserable because in the end, we are just going to eat them anyway?<br>And my favorite button in Facebook is the "Ignore all" button. http://iamfaithful.multiply.com/journal/item/191/Click_and_then_Gone Fri, 31 Jul 2009 09:58:11 -0000 http://iamfaithful.multiply.com/journal/item/190/Aftermath Hindi ko pa naaayos ang mga ideya ko pero iniisip ko talaga kung paano, paano natin mamamaxemize ang Participatory Development paradigm. http://iamfaithful.multiply.com/journal/item/190/Aftermath Wed, 29 Jul 2009 01:21:10 -0000 http://iamfaithful.multiply.com/journal/item/189/On_Crayola_and_Disney_Channel Recently, I have been getting in touch with my visual artist side by taking DEVC 141. So far so good. Pish and I have been talking about the colors in the Crayola pack and I had to conclude that the colors on that box of crayons is what I'd like to call "perception colors." Most of the colors in the Crayola set is the exact shade of colors when I think of them. Like when I say green, the idea of green that comes into my mind matches the green in the box. Same goes for blue, red, yellow, and orange but not violet. There is just too much blue in the Crayola violet.<br><br>Since I have been thinking about crayons a lot these days, I also incidentally thought about Miley Cyrus and Disney Channel. My future children would not be watching Disney Channel.

I have a problem with this. It is as if something is lost when things are translated into "nicer" words. It's like subtitles to foreign films. Meanings are lost when words are translated same goes for euphemisms.<br>Pet Society was under maintainance and I am still undecided if "of" is a preposition. I went over You Tube to watch trailers and vowed to watch the following movies:<ol><li>December Boys</li><li>500 Days of Summer</li><li>Smart People</li><li>Stone Angel</li></ol>I don't know how I would be able to watch them but I know someday they will be available in the pirated DVD store near Robinson's.<br>I'm practicing how to write informally and I found out that I sound like a bothered teenager with nothing to do but air her thoughts online.
