It's about that time that I got an LJ! I'm writing this before I record another episode of my podcast...*my lame attempt to advertise in 5..4..3..2..1..seconds..."Chismosa Chinitas Show"--don't think we're talking about you...twistedsunshine.podomatic.com*
Okay, that was really really lame...oh well I had to try... Another lame update: I was actually rolling my eyes while typing that whole thing up...yeah like anyone could see me do that...Well maybe Jan (if she was looking..but I doubt it). Yes, she's the one who got me into LJ. I just had to know what the whole hype was. This is all she does, seriously...oh yeah aside from sleeping :)
Going back to my podcast, those who listen to it probably know a lot about me at this point. It's weird because I have so much stuff I want to record but then I just can't seem to think of them when I actually do start talking. There's a thought, I should get a mic for my ipod. A friend of mine was actually supposed to give me one as a birthday present but I didn't need it at that time so I skipped that idea. I am the most lame-assed person in the world. I have this wild aspiration that doing a podcast is my closest way of being in media. Yes, I love media, communications, PR, that one big bubble you call "the public eye". Thing is, being chinese (if you haven't gotten that by now you're one big weirdo) doesn't help me reach my dreams. I have always believed that I am more filipino than I am chinese...in terms of the heart of course. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the principles and mentality of Fil-Chi, I'm just upset that not because I am genetically one of them, means that my personality has to fall into that category! (Okay this is frustrating) I do admire some values they have and constantly try to mix it in my life. But to actually BE one of them?! Uhhh...they seriously don't know me at all.
To make it crystal, I'm talking about my family and their attempts to steer me into a path that I am absolutely the opposite of. I need to live a life of passion, feel that I'm living a full life. I think the problem with the typical Chinese family is that money is such a big factor. Let's face it, who doesn't want to have more money? But I've come to a realization that I am gearing for a passionate life and hopefully get paid for doing what I love.
*Jan just said "I want lechon" 2 seconds ago...Yeah she's like less than 5 feet away hahaha*
Okay, I have to stop being so dramatic about this. I'll find a way to suck it up and get over it...Cuz right now I feel like a flame that's being forced to die down.
On a happier note...(yeah I hope it lasts long), I am going home to Manila this friday!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whooohoooooo!!!!!!
I can't wait to pass by edsa, eat Tapa King!!! (oooo Jan we should have a Tapa King sleepover haha), drive aggressively, head out to the beach, spend days in Highlands that end up to be sickening at the latter part of the trip haha (there's a story behind that).
I'm arriving Manila this saturday...(yes stalk me now!!! hahah) Like anyone's going to read this soon enough. What's my agenda? Since Jan, Eng, and Josie..ummm "bags" hahahah (yes I will explain that in the future..maybe even allot an entire entry just talking about him haha) are still either up in the air (literally), or still here in CA, I have invited "edgar's" friends over to chill in my house...I would want to just go out straight from the airport but I'm too excited too unpack!
Another weird thing is that I plan to take a couple of classes in DLSU this term...the catch? CLASSES START ON MONDAY! Which means that I only have my precious Saturday afternoon and Sunday to be a pig and breathe! haha...Why am I doing this? Because I need to do something that my entire family will not bug me on!!! I soo have to like get them off my back since I can't stand it anymore!!!
Omg!!! It's already 8am here...and yes like always, Jan and I haven't slept at all! Well she did...kindda....I never imagined that she could be a sleepy-head. Hahahaha. I have a full day ahead of me...and I still have to keep on packing...oh...that reminds me...I will take a picture of the amount of stuff I have packed!!!
I have to figure out what to do now since I'm starving!!! Toodles...(ewww I AM soooo lame! hahaha)
