I dunno.     All I know is that I love to write. And naturally, because I am a writer and a geek, I learned to love to blog. Multiply was a great outlet to start with. And now, after months and months of consideration (because I'm a freak like that), thrown in with a little envy of blogger friends with their own pages, <a href="http://jungzx.wordpress.com">I have my own official blog</a>!     If you go there now, you'll see one post, the initial hesitant post. I don't know at this point what else there is to put there. But as even this blog did, it'll take its time to develop. Stagnant for months, then ridiculous amounts of activity the next. Hopefully, the thoughts keep trickling in. (I'll figure things out as they come.)     I've always wanted to write, always called myself a writer, not caring whether I was good or not. And the internet allows me the freedom to do so. Don't you love it?     Multiply friends, won't you come for a visit on my Wordp... http://jungzx.multiply.com/journal/item/162/Moving_on Tue, 15 Jul 2008 09:37:18 -0000 Payday pay goes UP.     Payday is always fun. ALWAYS.     ATMs newly-filled with paper money, crisp, fresh and still smelling of ink is material heaven! And having some of that money is greed satisfied. I'd think I'd be able to splurge again! - even if just for that day. It's a temporary relief from financial straints, but still a much-anticipated relief.     And sometimes, there are even the cute little surprises that add to the payday thrill: <img src="http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/964/img7318siy0.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us">     Nothing I'd kill for. But teehee it's cute, noh? http://jungzx.multiply.com/journal/item/161/Payday_pay_goes_UP. Tue, 15 Jul 2008 01:56:45 -0000 In defense of skinny people. And of me. And here I write an open letter to everyone.     I'd just like to let this all out. I've been on the receiving end of more and more and mooooooore crap about this, I list: * People seem to base their conclusions on the fact that they don't see me eat. So to make it easy for all of you: Just because you all don't see me eat, doesn't mean I don't.     1. I eat my lunch alone. It's a 1 hour lunch break and eating takes only like the first 10 minutes. The rest of the time, I read my book, I have coffee, I smoke. So if you run into me then, do the math.     2. People make such a big deal when they see me eat. When we go out. When we're at a friend's house. IT'S GETTING RIDICULOUS. (I honestly don't know anyone else who gets a reaction like "Uy WOW himala kumakain si Jewel!!!" whenever they eat.) *And because I "don't eat," they think I don't eat because it's clinical.     3. While we're on the topic of Please Leave Me Alone, I'd like to... http://jungzx.multiply.com/journal/item/160/In_defense_of_skinny_people._And_of_me. Thu, 10 Jul 2008 19:25:13 -0000 Popcorn! Pop quiz!     I know I'm a movie geek. But are you?     These are lines from a handful of my favoritest movies EVER, and some lines from movies I simply watched over and over and over again for entertainment value. Favorite movies for different reasons. Some, because they hit me hard and tell me Holy fuck this really is what life is. And others just because they're fun to watch when there's nothing else on TV, and I've watched them like a gajillion times.     Stole the idea from a meme for which I was never tagged for. It originally demanded 15 movies, but I ran out of decent ones after 11. So whatever. 11 movies. 11 movie lines. No hints. That would totally kill the game. :D     Name that tune! Or, I mean, line. 1. Thank you. My name is Jane.     --- <a href="http://thezdidz.multiply.com">Zdidzzzz</a> got this one! (Finally someone did.

Once you have it done, you're going to want it again and again.     Let's see: Me, 2 months ago, with newly dyed hair: <img src="http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/2149/img6487s2nk5.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us"> A perfect excuse to camwhore, too      My hair was essentially a virgin before this -- just highlights done once like a hundred million years ago and never a dye job. My hair was brown, always brown. Suffice it to say, I so loved my new look. I still do! This bright new hair color for the first timer like me, of course I love it! I have semi-red-orangey hair now!       Except... 2 months later, the roots are only just starting to show and it's bothering me a teeny bit.     So what do I do?     Why, I start fantasizing about the new hair color I want, of course. <img style="width: 383px;height: 288px;" src="http://img67.imageshack.us/img67/7513/redhairfp1.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us"> Thank you, Paramore.   I no longer want red-orangey hair.

I was thrilled. I missed her and I missed Manila. The day was fun, and funky, and just like old times.     Alas, it was not to be a perfect day.     Halfway, into our expedition around Shangri-La mall, we ran into what we could call an (unfortunate and questionable) expansion of a certain (much-loved by some, much-loathed by most) brand, and you can say I was less than thrilled.

It really does.     This is because it's hard for me to completely trust people. And when I'm let down, I don't know how to react. I don't like being angry, or disappointed. For one -- The secrets!!! I don't like gossip when it involves a friend. If it does, I defend him/her if (I think) I know better, which I did. But if this "gossip" comes from a common friend (or a reliable source who won't just make up shit), and it is then TRUE beyond reasonable doubt, Then that PISSES ME OFF. It pisses me off that I heard the news from someone who wasn't even directly connected and was only a firsthand witness. It pisses me off that people are asking me, expecting me to know (and I'd have thought I would, too!), and I don't. So I said, no it can't be true and I defended her. And it pisses me off that despite all the times when she could have told me/us, she said nothing. We talked about everything BUT.

This just might be the reason why my blog entries have been stuck as one- or two-liners. Dahil laos na ang <a href="http://jungzx.multiply.com/links/item/29/Twit_twit_twit..._Twitter.">Twitter</a>, I/we move on to Plurk. Same concept, only cuter, more animated and so much more fun.

Mon, 16 Jun 2008 09:54:08 -0000 What comes after Rick Astley?     I seem to no longer be in the firm clutches of the Internet.     My Multiply has gone stagnant. I haven't superpoked anyone in Facebook since forever. My Twitter is with an obvious lack of updates. I still don't know what the hell Plurk is. I haven't seen any new LOLcats. And the last cool web(-related) video I watched was Weezer's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muP9eH2p2PI">Pork and Beans</a>. And it's not even really a web video; it's technically a music video. WTH.        And the worst of it all: my last involvement in a stupid meme (forgive the redundancy) was when I was the victim of a <a href="http://tinyurl.com/2q9j9y">rickroll</a>. That was so 3 weeks ago!     And this isn't because I didn't have the time. I had time. I just never turned on the computer. And I log in onto everything online everyday. Even when I don't have anything new to put up. It's just what I do. And now it's... not.     What the hell is happening to me? Am I... Am I... Dare I say it?

Ikaw? http://jungzx.multiply.com/links/item/31/the_Proud_Filipino_Project Mon, 26 May 2008 07:39:46 -0000 Filipina and proud.      Strange, but I must not have been camwhoring enough lately.      Wanting to be part of <a href="http://gfolio.multiply.com/photos/album/109/PROJECT_proud_FILIPINO">this kickass little project</a> to inspire and announce Filipino pride, I struggled to find a decent solo shot. It took me a while to find one where my face wasn't scrunched up in a weird way or it wasn't stuck right next to Mico's. Hehe.      Well, I'm all for Filipino pride -- So fuck vanity! <img src="http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/1305/jewelproudfilipinagl1.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us"> The caption says it all, and I love it. :) <a style="font-style: italic; " href="http://gfolio.multiply.com/photos/album/109/PROJECT_proud_FILIPINO">*Can you call yourself a Proud Filipino, too?</a> http://jungzx.multiply.com/journal/item/151/Filipina_and_proud. Mon, 26 May 2008 07:32:47 -0000 Bad publicity!? Months ago, <a href="http://iunderscorerocks.multiply.com">Kris</a> texted me. Said he was looking through a really old magazine, saw a press release for RX. And I was in the picture with Fran and Jake (who both look effortlessly gorgeous, of course). And he said (I paraphrase), "Yuk Jung ang taba mo pala dati. Hahaha." Did I want to see the picture? Of course! And he took a picture of that picture. And I... have to agree. Additional proof that I'm more photogenic when I'm skinny. Of all my RX pictures back then to end up in a magazine -- this has to be the biggest, clearest one. Whyyyy? Oh. Well. Life goes on. http://jungzx.multiply.com/photos/album/125/Bad_publicity Tue, 6 May 2008 06:58:31 -0000 Taba vs. Payat You don't go up to a fat friend and say Omigod you're so fat! Magpapayat ka nga! So you can't come up to me and say Omigod ang payat payat mo! Magpataba ka nga! even if it is in a joking manner. It's offensive. It's hurtful. It's accusatory without needing to be. *I speak for all the girls out there who can't help but be skinny. http://jungzx.multiply.com/journal/item/148/Taba_vs._Payat Fri, 2 May 2008 03:52:25 -0000 I love kids who love the oldies.

Oooo I can't wait to http://jungzx.multiply.com/video/item/24/Go_Speed_Racer_go Sun, 27 Apr 2008 01:48:47 -0000 So far, so good?     So far, since Mico left 4 mornings ago, I have been nothing less than immersed in the workplace 9 hours every night, and then some. This count is still not including the handful hours of overtime I volunteered for.     So far, I have been going to work for 4 days straight. And at least 4 more days straight. That's at least 8 days straight total. (Emphasis on "at least" because we don't have our schedule for May yet. All I know is that I don't have any offs for the rest of April, and who knows when my first off for May will be?). A nearby night/day off work is still nowhere in sight.     So, GOOD.     I don't want to have to worry about myself and what to do with my free time. And because I'm not in the mood -- AT ALL -- to make plans, that would mean I'll stay at home and do nothing. And doing nothing is, at this point, the worst thing I can do (or not do). http://jungzx.multiply.com/journal/item/147/So_far_so_good Sun, 27 Apr 2008 00:55:02 -0000 As of today, we're miles apart.     There are 2 cliche sayings, and we have a choice as to which one applies. It's either Out of sight, out of mind or Absence makes the heart grow fonder. I'd like to think it's the latter that applies to us. Painful, still, it may be, but I'd take that as an alternative to the other any day. There are different kinds and causes to pain, and the latter is, I guess, the warmer, less regrettable kind.     I don't know how to do this long-distance thing, but I'll give it a shot. We both will.     Literally, halfway around the world, halfway around different time zones. We're both clueless how to do this. But what the hell, right? We've gone through so much shit already -- and lived to tell the tale!, what's a little more??? :)     I miss him already. This, mere hours after we dropped him off at the airport. But I know I can count on a text message soon. I still have these little things to look forward to. :) http://jungzx.multiply.com/journal/item/145/As_of_today_were_miles_apart. Tue, 22 Apr 2008 23:12:13 -0000 Insanity Everybody's insane. I prefer to be insane. That would mean no rules, no boundaries, won't give a fuck about what others think. I refuse to believe there is even such a thing as normal. (Normal is what's dictated by society. Society in itself is fucked up. Why base "normal" on something that's fucked up?) Tell me I'm "weird" and I'll take it as a compliment. :) http://jungzx.multiply.com/journal/item/144/Insanity Tue, 15 Apr 2008 05:16:58 -0000 My memory betrays me.     My memory is terrible. To the point where the saying "I can remember it like it was yesterday" holds no special meaning for me. There are cases when I can't remember yesterday. Granted, it comes to me after a little time and some effort, but you get me. I have terrible memory.     Must be all the cigarettes murdering my brain cells. That being said:     It's been 1 year to the day since my father died. And I don't remember it just like it was yesterday. I remember it as if it's still just happening right now. I remember every second, every sound. I remember all 5 days he was in the hospital. I remember how the rooms looked and felt. I remember when he was moved from one room to the next. I can't ever forget the date and the time, even. I remember the days and the moments before, as well as the moments after. Every single detail is etched in my mind, for reasons unknown.     There are so many memories I want to hold on to, m... http://jungzx.multiply.com/journal/item/143/My_memory_betrays_me.
