Stuck

Have you ever felt that you're stuck in a rut and you don't have no idea how to get yourself unstuck?

On Confidence

Liza and I just watched a video of Tsubasa-kun wearing a skirt while dancing. So kawaii! It made me think how people confident in their own skin can wear anything or do anything for that matter. I'm still a long way from having that kind of confidence but I'm working on it...

I just read a forwarded an email from a friend about lessons we learn as we grow older and this line made me ponder...

"What other people think of you is none of your business. "

Right.

Scaring Myself

thinking about the future,
regretting the chances I didn't take,
thinking about the choices I'm about to make.

Blogging Woes

Medyo matagal na rin akong di nagba-blog. Hinihintay ko kasi na i-unblock ng gobyerno ang blogspot but they don't seem to be in a hurry to do it. It's been more that three freaking months!

Napagod na ako kakahintay, pagtitiyagan ko na ang mabagal kong proxy. Haay... pati Facebook blocked dito ngayon (pa'no na lang ang farm ko?)

Better to have loved and lost...

Is it worth it? To have your own hapiness so contingent upon another human being? - Dr. Brennan

If I was willing to give up my life for Sachi, why would I not be willing to risk my happiness for her? - Ken Nakamura

The Quickest Way

"The quickest way to a man's heart is through his back." (or through his chest...)

I've forgotten which character of what series I've heard this from but whenever I remember this line, I can't help but laugh out loud. :)

Time

Time is priceless, yet it costs us nothing.
You can do anything you want with it...but own it.
You can spend it, but you can't keep it.
And once you've lost it, there's no getting it back.
It's just...gone.

I 'm a geek?

Just watched last week's episode of Bones (this week's episode is not in youku yet), Fisher said that he even watches Fringe (apart from all the angst and drama in his life), thus making him a geek. I love Fringe! If that makes me a geek, then so be it!

There's no Fringe episodes til April 7th according to some posts... sad. I guess I can always watch Stargate SG-1, Atlantis, and Firefly again. (",)

Snow in Spring

Snow came late this year. I just had my down jackets cleaned last week so I can put it in storage, then it started snowing yesterday.

Spring Festival has come and gone, flowers are starting to bloom, I even bought a pair of shorts. I guess winter changed its mind and decided to stay...

Nice

"I'm sugar and spice and everything nice. I'm the click on an empty chamber when it's your turn at Russian Roullette" - Hugh Laurie

Lost in Translation

Early this morning while sharing breakfast of tuna sandwiches, we started wondering what the word "clue" is in Filipino. Many have wondered, many have tried to translate... ano nga ba ang Tagalog sa "clue"?

Check out Google translate. The site now has Filipino included in the list of languages available. Here's the translation of the word "clue" - "Bakas". Oo "bakas", hindi ka namalikmata. "Bakas" talaga 'yung translation na binibigay nya.

Eto pa: "Give me a clue.", sabi ng Google, "Bigyan mo ako ng isang tanda. " Ano daw? Ang weird pa, if you try to translate the said sentence back to English, it will be "Give me a note.". 'di ba dapat, "Give me a sign."? Tapos, pag isinalin mo uli sa Filipino ang "Give me a note", ang translation ay " Bigyan mo ako ng isang nota".

Here's a funny one - Filipino translation of "without a clue" is "walang bakas"! Huh?

What do you know? Things really get lost in translation!

Maybe it's not a phone. It is just pretending to be one.
