People are Leaving
I went to my friend's going-away party last night and I honestly had a blast. It was sort of a gathering for us neighbors and we talked and laughed and ate as much as we could.
I went home a little later (coz they were starting to get a little drunk =P) and while I was walking home, I realised that this wasn't the first or the last going-away party I'll go to. See, almost everyone is leaving the Philippines. Soon enough, everyone will be in Canada, Australia and USA, and ther won't be anyone left here.
Nakakalungkot isipin na sa ganda ng bansa natin, nag-uunahan tayong umalis, samantalang yung mga dayuhan ay nagkakandarapang pumunta dito.I spoke to my friend before and she said "Sige, magpuntahan kayo lahat sa States! Iwanan niyo na ako dito, mga walang-hiya kayo." She made it sound like a joke, but I'm sure she was serious.
Lahat kasi ng mga kaibigan niya, isa-isa nang nag-aalisan sa Pilipinas.I wonder exactly how hard it is to earn a living here. Can't be that hard, can it? I mean, it must be hard, but not that hard...

Randoms things about me
I'm Kitten :)
I get a year older every 17th of August. I am a Leo, and I carry all traits associated with that zodiac.
Right now, I'm twenty years old and I'm loving it. They say we're only as young as we feel. I feel like I'm five.
I would never leave the house without my Zen and my E2. The latter connects me to the world; the former takes me away from it.
If I were to choose a word to describe my life, that word would be
crazy.
I am in love with the stars. I am in love with the rain.
I am a Rutgers University student, and I want to graduate with an English degree. An English-Psych double major would be nice. An English-TCert would be even better.
I want to be a teacher. I want to be writer. I want to be both.
I thrive on indie and emo. Mae, The Spill Canvas, Copeland and Daphne Loves Derby - these are the guys that I listen to. I listen to other bands here and there, but mostly those are the bands I follow. That being said, I'm a mainstream moron.
There's no feeling more lovely than being carried away. People don't usually think of me as somebody spontaneous, but I like being swept away as much as the next girl.
I fall in love easily, but it is really hard for me to fall out. Really hard.
I am very fragile.
I am tolerant of almost everything except one thing: intolerance.
I am an extensive reader. I thirst only for meaning, nothing else.
I love my friends <3
I am extremely spiritual but not religious.
Things I want to do in my life time
Get a job.- Save up enough money to go back home -
wherever that is if I ever had one before I'm 40.
- Write a book.
- Sing for a Disney movie.
- Buy a house on top of a hill.
- Go bunjee jumping.
Travel halfway around the world.- See Italy.
Find the one person who makes my heart beat faster and slower at the same time.Draw and paint.Learn how to play Sudoku.- Volunteer for American/Philippine Red Cross or UNHCR.
Quit smoking.
