Stargirl *
I was serving this customer at the register who had a little girl with her. The little girl was all smiles when she came up to the counter, I remember. She even waved back when I waved at her.
While I was waiting for the credit card transaction to be cleared, I looked at the little girl. She hooked her chubby little arms to her mom's. Her mom said
What, anak? The little girl says,
Mommy, I love you.I couldn't stop myself from saying,
Aaaw. How sweet! I also couldn't stop myself from asking,
Are you real? Well, you don't see that kind of thing everyday. You really don't. And as for the question, it was an honest one. Hey, with technology today, some of those who walk among us
could be robots. You just never know.
[
Sidebar: I don't think I've ever told my mom I love her. Never, girls and boys. Never have I told my mom I love her.]
---------------I'm shaking. Ha. I should be ashamed of myself. *logs off AIM*
I can't breathe. I want to bang my head on the keyboard enough times for me to snap out from this spell he cast on me.
No more. If I will be jealous, if I have to be jealous, if I can't help but be jealous, then it has to stop now. I can't deal with this.
Bastante es bastante.I always lose the people I want to hold on to...Alam mo yun. It was just a picture. One moment I was looking at it, the next moment my jaws were clenched, my breathing was quick and I could almost swear that my heart was aching.
*cries*
---------------I am officially promoting the book
Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli. It's fantabulous, my babies.

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.
