It's like walking into a storybook and finding yourself tangled in many of life's spiderwebs. Another week gone, more hours of your life spent, more experiences to be added in your life's already filled-up-but-still-not-enough-stories book. Did you learn anything new during the past week? Did you somehow make a difference in your own little way? Did you come in contact with another soul? Were you selfish? Did you breathe in air as meaningful as the precious free-for-all oxygen deserved? Did you rejoice in life? Did you die along the way as you struggled to live through it all?

You're a complete bitch one minute and you're all smiles the next. Such is the way life lays tricks on you. Sometimes. For instance, spontaneous moments live to be happy tales of nothingness: getting out of the office early and hopping on a bus with Toots en route Sta. Cruz. Why? Because I needed new earphones for my L7. Mission accomplished? Not at all. We ended up walking around Sta. Cruz and looking at some "stuff" and pigging out on Dunkin' Donuts. And hopping, yet again, after half an hour, on a bus that brought us to school. Wala lang, trip lang. Masama? We'll definitely have to go back to Sta. Cruz one of these days. I mean, there's just so much cheap stuff to buy from the place! And I still need a new headset for my phone.

On the same night, a certain someone has revealed to me his 'identity' in a particular part of life. Hmm, moment/s in life? Well, I thought that was rather interesting. I'm not gonna spill the details; I'm not a tattletale! But yes, it was nice getting to know a friend. =) And I was in such a good mood that I went out for hot choco at McD's with two other friends. Waited for a bus that went all the way to Pilar with one of them (which finally arrived from our standing point at a little past 10pm!) -- but it was nice to have company on the way home. And even nicer that he paid for my fare! Haha.

And it was nice to have your best male friend being concerned for your life ("Text me right away when you get home! Ingat ka! Mahirap nang magtiwala!") even though he ended up sounding like a manong-slash-father. The thought is rather smile-worthy.

The next day:
"I had hot choco with two men last night."
"Eww. That sounds like.."
"Haha, gross. I had hot choco with them, yeah, but not with him."
"Awww."
*sad face, sad face, sad face*

As if the semi-sadness from the night before weren't enough to live through until Wednesday, a devastating news broke out: a student from my school (same course, a year older) committed suicide. With her best friend. Two young women dead, just like that. No trace of fear as they put a gun (guns?) against their head. It seems, according to their suicide notes (this story was on the news and on the paper/online news), that they died for love. Is love worth ending a life? I beg to differ. May their souls find peace.

Today, and until this very moment, I am in a blimey-overstriped dress. (See pic on the left. xp) And still in this very moment, I am quite certain that Richie is still in San Beda Alabang's gym enjoying (not enjoying?) his first ever prom. Aww, prom! Well, I hope the entire prom thing serves as a good experience for the kid. =) [My brothers are growing up way too quickly! *tear*]

And time, despite its being "gold," continues to tick. And fast.

Have you ever looked up at the sky and stared into the nearly-still-painting-like color of blue, orange, gray? The clouds. They move quicker than you think.

So does time.
