Generic Christmas...
"You used to sweep me off my feet, now you just push me so I fall." - Neenuh
felix : oh come on
me : uh huh
felix : is that a song or something
me : could be, who knows
felix : I know you didn't write it
me : ok then google it
I said it here first, remember that.
Oh, and a blessed Christmas to everyone!

Drunken Stupor For The Majority...
...So, like, I totally dig this song, and I've been listening to it a lot lately. Guess who ends up sending me the song? The one person I totally dig in my life...
Here (In Your Arms)
by Hellogoodbye
I like
Where we are
When we drive
In your car
I like
Where we are - here
Cause our lips
Can touch
And our cheeks
Can brush
Our lips
Can touch - here
Where you are the one, the one that lies close to me
Whispers, "Hello, I've missed you quite terribly."
I fell in love, in love with you suddenly
Now there's no place else I can be but here in your arms
I like
Where you sleep
When you sleep
Next to me
I like
Where you sleep - here
Cause our lips
Can touch
And our cheeks
Can brush
Our lips
Can touch - here
Where you are the one, the one that lies close to me
Whispers, "Hello, I've missed you quite terribly."
I fell in love, in love with you suddenly
Now there's no place else I can be but here in your arms
Here in your arms
Here in your arms
And you know what else? OLD. Will post about it some other time.

That Kind Of Thing, You Know...
...Will Freewebs just stop redesigning their damn website, please? It's bad enough Myspace exists, now Freewebs wants to be just as annoying and gay.
Been listening to a lot of Leona Naess and Bree Sharp lately. New albums to come from both girls sometime this year, and I am so looking forward.
Did I ever write about how the last Gilmore Girls episode was? If I haven't, well then, let this be my chance. Dudes, it was so sad I bawled like a baby. Contrary to what other people say about the episode, I think it's a perfect show ender - with Rory finishing college, turning down an engagement, being offered to cover Barack Obama's presidential campaign, consequently sending her off and leaving Stars Hollow indefinitely, oh yeah and meeting her idol, CNN journalist, Christiane Amanpour, oh, oh, and Lorelai and Luke's kiss... aaaahhhh omgomg! And the ending scene - the cherry on top of the icing - the morning that Rory leaves Stars Hollow, Luke opens the diner for one "last" special breakfast for his Gilmore girls. Just like the way it all began. Such simple, yet heartfelt scene. How else could they end it, considering? I just can't believe it's over. Sigh.
So like former-employer-from-hell won't leave me alone. Last I heard they want "closure".
*pause* Uhm *blink* I have no friggin' idea.
When I hear the word closure, I think college romance, heck, even high school. You know, the kind of thing you seriously considered, due to immaturity and lack of perspective, would lead to marriage, but thankfully didn't? Perhaps if there was such a thing as closure in the employment world, it would involve:
a) resignation letter;
b) turn over of responsiblities; and
c) exit interview
...All of which I have dutifully fulfilled, being the professional, mature adult that I am. I just don't see how closure would fit the former employer-employee scenario. Then again if you were immature, insecure, and selfish, closure would be something you'd demand from your former employee.
Operative word: FORMER.
Now why former-employer-from-hell thinks the way they do is really beyond me. Where they get off thinking I owe them an apology for saying no to licking their asses, I seriously have no idea. But one thing I know for sure, thank goodness I quit while I was ahead.
Tomorrow's Tuesday and I'm exactly a month away from 30 years old. Whooptido.

I Need To Hide Away From The Pain...
...I bring to you Heart, singing These Dreams live in Seattle back in 2002, minus the 80s hairdo and still being the awesome <3
These Dreams
by Heart
Spare a little candle
Save some light for me
Figures up ahead
Moving in the trees
White skin, in linen
Perfume on my wrist
And the full moon that hangs over
These dreams in the mist
Darkness on the edge
Shadows where I stand
I search for the time
On a watch with no hands
I want to see you clearly
Come closer than this
But all I remember
Are the dreams in the mist
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night, I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake, the further I'm away
Is it cloak and dagger
Could it be spring or fall
I walk without a cut
Through a stained glass wall
Weaker in my eyesight
The candle in my grip
And words that have no volume
Falling from my lips
There's something out there, I can't resist
I need to hide away from the pain
There's something out there, I can't resist
The sweetest song is silence
That I've ever heard
Funny how your feet in dreams
Never touch the earth
In a wood full of princes
Freedom is a kiss
But the prince hides his face
From dreams in the mist

Whut...
...I remember I was very specific, "You may look, but you may not touch." Now I don't know where this young man gets off thinking he can bite, grind against and try on MY stuff! You all have to understand, I do love the adorable husband that he is, but someone's gotta draw the line here, you know? The sniffing, well, I suppose that's okay. But the grinding?! You can't grind against my skimmers!

Though I must admit, I do love that pretty foot. Notice the pinky toe cuteness? And I really love him - him and his credit card. LOL.

No More Gilmore...
...After eighteen long months, I decided it was time to get myself the haircut that was way overdue. About eight inches shorter, mmhmm, and wavier hair, I feel I have made the wrong decision. What was I thinking? First, I hate how I had to switch to a new stylist, who just completely ignored my specific instructions on what to do with my hair. And this is exactly why I hate getting a haircut. Second, it's like I already had that gnawing thought that it was going to turn out bad, yet I still went for it. What's wrong with me? So in the end, I totally regret getting the haircut. But there's hope. The hair will grow back, I know. Just that I was going for a Jennifer Morrison-ish hairstyle in House, M.D. Season 3. Oh well. Nothing left to do but allow this short hair thing to grow on me. Reluctantly. It just might take some eighteen months or so - by then it would be just like before. Shouldn't be all that bad, right? Especially now when I pull my hair back, I look like I have this tiny cheerleading pom pom pinned to my head. Oh-em-eff-gee, el-oh-el.
In case you haven't heard, Gilmore Girls will be airing their finale episode tonight. I'm sad that the age of two Lorelais have come to an end. I feel like I grew with Lorelai and Rory Gilmore through the years or something like they're the mother and sister I wanted but never had. Then again, they really should end the show. I hope they end it properly. I'm still not over the way they ended Buffy - that was a real let down, I swear. Seven friggin seasons, dude. Gilmore Girls must end properly. I'm gonna miss them like I miss my long hair.
On to further news... still no word from USCIS, and I'm getting impatient. Machine said it normally takes four weeks to review the papers. It's all about Finagle's Law, you know. And I really don't want to think I am THAT special, the "one-in-a-million probability" sort of thing. That's just effed up. Anxiety is really building up. In case you haven't realized, the processing timeline is directly proportion to the length of time I have to wait to be reunited with my husband. I'm the winner.
But it's not all that bad. See, there's new pairs of shoes and undies... and, and lame Globe broadband service to help me stay the course. Oh, and a set of Sharpie markers and lots of other goodies that are really, really nice! Yay! You may look, but you may not touch.

Not Settling For Anything Less...
Can I get up in the morning
Put the kettle on
Make us some coffee, say "hey" to the sun
Is it enough to write a song and sing it to the birds?
They'd hear just the tune
Not understand my love for words
But you would hear me and know
I want only this, I want to live
I want to live a simple life
I dreamed you first
But not so real
And everyday since I've found you
Such moments we steal
Like little thieves, we rub our hands
We hold our hearts between them
But will you hear me and know?
I want only this, I want to live
I want to live a simple life
Move on, move on
Time is accelerating
Drive on all night
Traffic lights and one-ways
Move on, move on
Parking violations waiting
Turn off the car, breathe the air
Let's stay here
I'll kiss you awake, and we'll have time
To know our neighbors all by name
And every star at night
We'll weave our days together like waves
And particles of light
I want only this, I want to live
I want to live a simple life
Simple Life by Deb Talan
I miss Felix so much.

This Isn't What I Signed Up For...
...My updates are on a monthly installment basis - I'd be darned if I actually post two updates in one month. Oh hey, this is my second update for this month. It is your lucky day.
Days go by so slowly, night time is a drag. The heat is unbelievable - it's 38 ºC and it almost feels like hell. So what is new? I am now a certified Philippine National Red Cross first aid giver - something to put under my belt. I also have a new teaching job, three cheers for me. Further, I switched ISPs, and it has been giving me headache since the day it was installed. Clearly the company's tagline, "putting you ahead," denotes "putting your head... as we unjustly bill you for our lame service." What was I thinking, signing up for a one year contract?! Felix has submitted our I-130 petition packet, and now the waiting begins. I also have been seeing a lot of old friends lately, strengthening relationships while I have the chance. I joined Yahoo! Answers only because they need smarter people there, like seriously, you know.
FYI, I will be turning 30 a couple of months from now. I gather 30 years old is the new 20... said the one who refuses to grow old. I wanted this to be interesting, but VisaJourney has captured my complete attention, and I suck at the multi-tasking department. Totally darned.
Two months down, *insert number of months here* more to go...
