from me to you Hey there! Welcome to the tiny place in cyberspace of a girl who blogs her blues away. And well, maybe out of boredom as well. How on earth you found your way here may be intentional or completely random, but you're welcome to look around either way. The navigations are on the ribbon. Just click on them to get around the page. Please do leave me a message on my tagboard so that I know you dropped by. Thanks and enjoy! :)  |
the wallflower  Wallflower (wall·flow·er)
As the term suggests, I shy away from a lot of things, parties and balls/dances being top 1 and top 2 respectively. I'm a small girl you won't probably notice in a crowd. On top of that, I'm a natural klutz, the holder of a seemingly record-breaking list of misplaced items, an amateur anything, and an over-thinker who oftentimes lets her head rule her heart. I'm still normal okay, don't get me wrong. haha... I'm a kid at heart who is easily pleased with simple things. One who carries a pinch of optimism, a tinkling of charm, and loads of laughs. I'm still trying to find my place in this vast expanse, but I'm having tons of fun along the way. I'll find that light someday, I'm sure! But for now, I'll slow things down a bit and enjoy the ride. My life's not the most spectacular thing that you'll come across, but it's worth a look :)

 ACTING is very different from REACTING. The dictionary defines acting as "false behavior; pretense", while it defines reacting as " a response to some foregoing action or stimulus". Personally, I think that reacting has traces on genuineness in it, whereas acting may have none. When caught off guard, people's reactions give away their true emotions or thoughts; maybe even clues to some big secret they're hiding. When one acts, however, the brain takes over and there is a filtering of actions. the In simpler terms, you think when you act, but don't think when you react. This is where the slight overlap between acting and reacting comes in - a person chooses how to react to a particular situation. For example, if a happy Broadway actress is given a melancholic scene, she controls her actions and reactions based on what her character calls for in a particular scene. Ordinary people, on the other hand, merely react; oftentimes very carelessly and impulsively. When crushes are involved, a girl should work on acting if she doesn't want to be so obvious. Instead of just reacting towards teasing and hot seat questions. "Act normally around your crush", they say, and they used the word "act" correctly since acting usually conveys an opposite reaction to one's current state. I mean, how the heck are you supposed to hide that you like someone without acting when you feel all giddy and gay inside? Act then. Act normally. As for me, I should probably work on my acting so that my reactions won't give me away all the time. I suck at that. A lot. If I had had gotten my acting right a little earlier, my guts wouldn't be curled up in embarrassment like they are now :| Labels: oh noes, the crush files 18 comments Jenn A.Sunday, August 15, 2010, 10:51 PM
 Some things don't need to be put into long sentences for one to understand their value. Trust Honesty Friendship Thanks Sorry Easily understood, and sometimes it takes just that one word alone to hit you harder than a baseball bat. No sentences, no phrases. Just words. The thing is, not everyone knows the true value of these words, leaving others questioning their value as well. To make matters worse, they complicate things by turning simple words into one-word sentences. Trust. Honesty. Friendship. Thanks? Sorry? My point? In our lives, we will always encounter people who will leave us questioning things we value - be it a hobby, a sport, a childhood dream, a friend, or plainly something (or someone) you value. All these words suddenly have punctuation marks where there clearly should be none: Trust, Honesty and Friendship given period signifying their end; Thanks and Sorry questioned for their sincerity. None of these words should be harder to understand than supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, but a lot of times, that's how they seem - complicated. It's sad. And real. And probably give us the heaviest feelings. Ever. So a lesson to everyone: let's NOT complicate our lives by doing things that will leave others questioning our character. If you are trusted, keep the secret, well, secret. Honesty always has been the best policy. Not many good friends come by - don't take it for granted. Thanks - pure, unsarcastic, roll-eyes-free. If you say sorry, mean it. Labels: creative 0 commentsJenn A.Wednesday, August 11, 2010, 5:00 AM
 Nothing creative, everything simply said. I just miss blogging. Been really caught up with all these to-dos for school, Church, and Insti. I'm working on my thesis proposal, I have 2 more tests, and a paper plus report due this week; I have 2 callings at Church (Young Women teacher for Beehive and Young Women Secretary), and I'm co-directing a play for Insti, but I'm not complaining -- well, maybe just my HECUSOC subject which is a bigger hassle than my thesis, but other than that, I'm good. I just want to get this week over and done with. 2 days. Just 2 more days. Hang in there, Jenn! Kaya 'to! I'll blog longer after this week of non-stop work is over. Gosh I miss blogging.

 This is going be short... NOT. AGAIN. Why does this ALWAYS happen? But my friends are right, I should have expected it anyway. Bakit ba ako sobrang naaapektuhan? It's probably not the person naman, but my huge lack of good judgment. Oh. my. gosh. I'm not mad, promise. I just feel bad. Everything's starting to sink in pa lang. The truth can be a huge slap in the face, and a lot of times, there's not much you can do about it but move on.

 I can't sleep. The reason? I can't get over the results of the 2010 elections.  Dick Gordon’s Post Election Statement I would like to congratulate Sen. Aquino for his spectacular victory. I call upon this nation to unite and support him. I would like to thank everyone who supported me especially my volunteers and those who gave up their limited resources as a manifestation of trust in my brand of leadership and track record. I ran a very truthful, straightforward and candid campaign and thought we could run on the basis of our platform, track record and volunteerism. I would like to congratulate all the winners and pray that they serve our country well. We accept the will of the people. Today, we have a victory for democracy with the successful exercise of our first nationwide automated election despite naysayers and doubters. The fight for this country goes beyond this day. Let us forge on in building a Bagumbayan for our people. I honestly can't believe how affected I am by the elections considering I've never really cared much about politics and I rarely know what's going on in my own country. I'm clueless about even the most popular issues. The campaigning and the actual elections this year changed that for me though. I'm not going to explain my sudden enlightenment, right now I just want to say that... Well... I feel bad. No, that's not enough. Truth is, I'm on the brink of crying. All the anger has passed but the tears are still welling in my eyes... As I said in an earlier entry, Dick Gordon has my vote. I'm no fan of politics, but I don't need to be an expert to know that Dick Gordon is precisely what the Philippines needs. It's just so disappointing to think the people chose to place popularity over platform; who they want over who they need.   click HERE for larger view It's heartbreaking to see how a really qualified man is an underdog in this important race that determines, to a great extent might I add, the future of our country. I mean, look at those credentials. What more could you ask for? He is, without question, the best man for the position. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Noynoy. I'm not in the position to judge him as he hasn't started his term yet. I just think Gordon could have given the Filipinos the change they needed, but I guess we are not ready for that just yet... On the up side, there have not been reports about cheating with the ballot counts. The number of total voters has gone up as well. The elections were fair and productive, so congrats to us for a clean election. It might be a little late for this, but...  At hindi magbabago 'yon. I waited in line for 4 hours and 30 minutes to vote for my president. That's 4 hours and 30 minutes well spent. Pinaglaban ko ang taong alam kong makakapagpabuti ng kalagayan ng bansa ko. I know I made the right decision, and for that I have no regrets. Saludo ako sa 'yo, Dick Gordon. *is now crying...* Labels: politics 0 commentsJenn A. |
