am back here at [mom]'s office...fiddling away with the computer.

i finished [blood and gold] this morning...and at present, i am dressed--the jacket anyway--in red. /small smile/ you can attribute that to marius considering that it was /his/ book, and red is /his/ color.

funny though...[mama] always said that red suited me. heheh...

[this one] has just got her project: Disposable Teens up and running...though there's not much now to read.

heheh...tweaking tweaking on my side again for my template. ich.

on other news...i'm trying now to figure out what course i'll shift to next year...and for the love of me, writing seems to stick out like a sore thumb. i still have to talk it over with my parents though.

...then there's the little tidbit that somehow got to me. around 11 of my blockmates failed Introduction to Philosophy. /pauses and ponders/

--WHAT?!

INTPHIL??? good god! and to quote uncle tony: 'bloody evarlasting hell!' philosophy??? but WHY? hoe could /anyone fail philosophy?

i mean, heck, no offense, i'm not bragging or anything--but i got a 2.0 in that class (which, by all accounts happened to be te easiest of ALL my classes--even easier than general psychology last term--and to think! my prof there i'd known sice 3rd year!) and to top that--i got exempted from the final exam.

/blinks/

how could they f.a.i.l.--fail?

somehow the whole thing just doesn't compute mon ami. it's a floating subject. it's a subject that shouldn't even bother us. and 11--11 failed?

/grimaces in disgust/

i fail to see the humor in the situation mon ami. i really do.

i just found the perfect picture for 'melina'...but it's gonna take some time to request an artist to create the piccie based on the pic i found. i'm looking forward to it though...so in the meantime...tweaking tweaking on template to accomodate the lovely picture.Ü many thanks to the person who scanned and put it up!

piccie is Alexiel from Angel Sanctuary...Ü and am now hunting for the piccie of Uriel--he's one of the Four Great Angels...waaaaaaaaaah! gwapo!

caio bella!

ich...am going perfectly insane...i'm actually driving [mom] up the wall...

i just posted the 2nd chapter to Children of Paradox and am now focusing my attention to the little novellette that i have planned for Jeremy Malory. /biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig Ü/

[charlie]'s graciously offered to help fill in and add to the niceness of the whole idea...buuuuut i'm still debating with myself on their account as i am trying to get the whole depressing critic's opinion about Say You Love Me and The Present out of my head. :( /weeps slightly/

anyway...on other news:

meeting up with [isis] tomorrow at around 11.30 or so she said. starbucks in G4. nothing new...that's pretty much our usual meeting place.

anyway, i'm dragging [flip] along with me to meet the barkada, (and oh.my.god., it will be so wonderful to see them all again.Ü) --rather, the select few who [isis] chose to invite after the disastrous incident the day before our supposed reunion.

that's...basically all i have to say for now although i wish i could say more. /sighs/ i guess i'm just really not in the mood for this... /shakes head/ hope my disposition improves before i turn in for the night.

caio bella!

i. am. speechless.

so i'll let the pictures do the talking for me.


James and Georgina, on the cover of Gentle Rogue


i saw this on a fabulous site that is currently catering to my Malory needs.

btw, the site is: The Malory Family. go see! go see!

*pauses to drool yet again*

a day after christmas...and not a minute too soon.

wierd. that's the first thought that jumped to mind.

i am, once again, kidnapping my [mom]'s computer as of the moment. my hair is still wet.../laughs/ and i'm relishing that.

i...took 2 quizzes.../winces/ ich. here's the first...not exactly the person i thought i'd end up being. *mrew...*

[i'm haldir!]
I am Haldir, a guardian of the Golden Wood. I guided the Fellowship through Lothlorien and gave Samwise Gamgee his rope, but the latter I wasn't able to do onscreen. In the movie, I'm played by Craig Parker.

heheh.../sighs wistfully/ i am SO inlove with the Malorys. mwehi! and i'm talking about the green-eyed, blond ones...and the blue-eyed, raven ones. waaaaah! but the hell! they're all--TAKEN!!!

i dug up several books by johanna lindsey and well, well--i just simply fell inlove with the brit rascals. waaah! i mean--look.at.them! (which is technically impossible at this point considering that i don't have the pictures from the paperbacks.../heheheh/)

let me start with the four foremost Malory brothers:

there's [Jason] who's the eldest. he's big, and blond and green-eyed. he's got this temper that's more bark than bite to quote his son [Derek], who, no doubt looks almost exactly the same as he does. according to the books he's due to marry his longtime mistress (and Derek's mum), Molly.

honestly--i.can't.wait. heheh...

after him there's [Edward], who doesn't have much of a story to tand for him. his daughter [Amy] married the older brother of one of his inlaws. heheh. (fans her face to keep from fainting at the thought of the Anderson brothers.)

then there's [James]-->JAAAAAAAAAAAAAMES!!!! /goes to hide her flush/ geez! this man is SO DAMNED APPEALING! he's just OOZING with sex appeal, which, at this point i won't deny.

he's the most rakish amongst the brothers (albeit the most scandalous). at some point in time he was even what he so defensively terms a 'gentleman pirate'. i'm not going to go into defining that because it's...far too difficult. he married [Georgina] Anderson who's now the stepmum to his son *droool* [Jeremy]-->who, albeit is the only Malory (HE'S MIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!!!) not taken.

*a-ahem* /fixes appearance in an attempt to look remotely sane/

and then there's [Tony], short for Antony/Anthony...who married Lady Ros (she's scottish), and is the most easy-going of the lot.

/clears throat/

now...onto the rest.

i finished Derek's story last night. He went ahead and fell inlove with Kelsey Langton, in the strangest of circumstances. i love the story as much as i love the rest--and thank GOD, i read up that i still have a fighting chance for Jeremy. although i have no idea how to go about the story.

i'll be sure to post it on my fic blog once i manage to get the immediate idea. so for anyone particularly interested in this fanfic...you'll have to be patient and wait as i am up to my neck in ideas. /smiles/

and who could blame me considering that my love for The Vampire Chronicles has returned with a vengeance. /smiles/ y'all know the cause of that.

but for now, mon ami, i must bid you all adieu.

muah. ciao bella!

christmas morning. Ü

merry christmas everyone..and you want to know something interesting? heheh...the sky decided to pour out all it's frustration.

about bloody time. /grins/ i just love accents. but then again it could be simply the influence of the books i've been reading of late. not to mention [charlie]'s brilliant new fascination with the "windy day" 'epic' that's currently underway.

i managed to dig up my vampire chronicles fanfic. all because of [flip]'s wonderful gift to me: Anne Rice's Blood and Gold. added to that, i got a whole bunch of neat gifts: this hair-styling thing that's definitely going to come in handy when [mom] fails to be around to fix my hair.Ü /wink/

then there was nick's cd, given by [niall], and the red blouse that tita gave me...not to mention the make-up and whatnot.Ü

all in all [that's counting the very satisfying noche buena] this christmas was great. funny too. since i found a P500 smart buddy reload card in my stocking. /wiggles eyebrows/ --that was the ONLY thing in the stocking, mind you. i guess [santa] took it upon himself to give me what i NEEDED instead of going insane over what i could possibly /want/.

xp

fun-ny.

ha.ha.ha. i'm dying of laughter.../sighs/ next up--new year's. ich. atleast i've got that get-together that [isis]'s got planned to keep me occupied. --egads! that's tomorrow? no...day a.f.t.e.r. tomorrow at G4 starbucks. ich.

anyway...i've got a fic blog now...feel free to check it out.Ü /wink/ and i've got no qualms about putting up the stories that i've so inconveniently neglected.

muah. ciao bella!

christmas eve.

oh.my.god. it's actually that time of the year.

ich. hardly at all what i imagined it would be this particular year. as i've said before, the welcome chill of december is absent, as are the cheerfulness and the 'magical' air.

it's just not here. /sigh/ i don't know if i'm the only one feeling that way...but i can only guess.

i spoke with [charlie] several times today. on the phone naturally, and well..at least she's lifted my spirits somewhat as compared to how i felt earlier on.

it simply doesn't feel like christmas at all these days. and for once i wish i could hit myself with a mallet and just get it over with. i am proving to be completely depressing.

+ + +

/sighs/ and it d.o.e.s. n.o.t. help to know that [this one] is acting in the same manner...

dearest, you're too bleak for even me. honestly, you're pissing me the hell off.

ich. what christmas spirit eh? erk. at least i can be happy about the little details. like...oh...[isis]' birthday happens to be: tomorrow.Ü oh my! go girl! you're finally the big 1-7! congrats! now i'm no longer older than you.Ü /wink/

honestly. can't that person stop feeling sorry for himself?!

argh! i'm just short of ripping my hair out...though i wouldn't. it's totally not worth it. ich. this is probably my last entry for the evening...and so i'm going to make the most of it.

+ + +

my right-hand pinky hurts. cut a little too close for comfort on that side. and so i'm paying for it right now. /sigh/ i wish i could talk to [isis] but then, i'm not so sure how she'll react to what i have to say to her.

i wish she'd go to her blog. put something up. rant. rave. go insane. at least i'd have something to concentrate on and read. the nights are cold, but dead. not exactly the christmas chill that i was looking forward to.

it feels like the end of summer...or the start of it. i'm not so sure anymore. all i know it's anything BUT christmas.

/wince/ in little ways i think i'm becoming incredibly dependent on the likes of [charlie] and [mac]. even [isis]. hell, i need someone--anyone!--to talk to just to keep my mind off the emptiness. it's not comforting to feel a bleakness in me.

and half the time i don't even know if it's mine.

hmmm...

lately i've found myself angry...incredibly angry at [marie]. i shouldn't even think about her...but i can't seem to help but wish that she'd wind up in an accident or such. it's stupid and concieted and hurtful for me to think so, but i have a feeling she's been spreading [albeit a little bit discreetly], lies and rumors and dispicable bits and pieces of information about me. lord knows where and why she gets her kicks.

but it's a thought that's stayed for quite some time now.

she's a little too much like [alpha], [mikee] and [bernice]. bitter. shallow. and bordering on the title of bitch.

naturally...[isis] would just love to strangle her if what my gut tells me turns out to be true. --thank god i have no intention and no desire to find out. afterall...i've stopped caring at all. she wants to live that way, she wants to spread whatever about me [as she has often done to those she so quickly condemns]...she can go ahead and have the time of her life.

it doesn't matter anymore.

i find my happiness and my comfort and--by god!--my life, with the people who happen to be REAL.

enough about her. ich. [severn] managed to get me in a dark mood. but at least it's not dark enough to keep me from writing the story i want [charlie] to read. and it'll be a treat to know if she loves it or not.

am online...yet again. though at home this time.

[severn]'s asked to meet me...on msn messenger, but it looks as though he'll be running late. not unusual though, since complications do tend to appear at any given time and place, irregardless of the person's desire to keep to their schedules.

ich.

i'm partly online and partly working on my partition/contribution to this fic that [charlie]...este [charlotte]Ü decided to allow me to enter in. heheh...

erk. gotta go. [severn]'s online, and we know what THAT means.

tweaking, tweaking, tweaking. /laughs/

i'm actually enjoying myself as i cut, paste, copy, etc the codes to personalize my blog. heheh... i actually went ahead and made one for [mac] and just went and sent him an e-mail. /shakes head/ he can just ask me to delete it anyway...but in the meantime, since he isn't here to bite my head off, i'll go ahead and enjoy the fact that /perhaps/ he'll consider using it.

naturally, i had to consult with [charlotte] since he's bound to hop over to our blogs just for the heck of it. the design however, needs due tweaking. but enough about that. i'll go handle it some other time--like when he decides to e-mail me.

/sighs/

christmas is just one day away...less actually, considering that noche buena is part of filipino tradition.

/winces/ speaking of the noche buena, [mom] has yet to go shopping for the desired food. thank god [and yes, the goddess] that the car's coming in this afternoon from the shop.

/shudders/ i don't care to remember [that] particular incident. am just happy that the family's complete and whole this christmas.

/makes a face/ on other news... [isis] said she might drop by at any given time this week...that is, if she manages to get her mom to agree. heh. if given the chance, anyone can bet that she's probably opt to live here.

funny, don'cha think? she's little by little beginning to act like /the/ ripley todd.

took a quiz off a friend's livejournal. /small smile/ [jackie] as i call her, and i go way back thanks to the [MDTAS] fandom. she's been gone for some time...but the fact that her livejournal's re-vamped means that she's back in the online community. /laughs/

anyway, the quiz:
interpretive
*~ What kind of dreamer are you? ~*

brought to you by Quizilla

hmmm...funny. considering that my dreams are 90% symbolic.

+ + +

on other things, [jeri] helios texted that she's got msn messenger as well...but it took awhile to actually get [up here] a.k.a. [mama]'s office...and she's offline now so i've taken my time and attention to elsewhere. /smiles/ like this blog.

erk. [charl] called last night. /laughs/ ich. i guess i wasn't the only one feeling the pains of tirednes (is there such a word?) ich. meepmeep. anyway, i've got another project on-hand. [jeri] wants a blog of her own...and for the moment, i'm too darn tired to sift through the html-ing to make one like [three sisters]. so i'll be in desperate need of [iris]' help. ich. erg.

just proves to show that this is my personal (though albeit a little wierd) therapy.
