Resolu-shuns

Some easy to fulfill new year resolutions.

1. Will not purposely kill or maim anybody unless provocated.
2. Will not leap from a moving vehicle unless facing a worse threat to life and limb (like somebody with cooties or someone who is a rabid vegan bent on converting you to the cause. Pass me the steak please.)
3. Will quit pointing out that gladiator shoes are so last season. People who wear brightly hued gladiator sandals (not to mention the fact that people with fat ankles shouldn't as they start resembling praetorians) deserve pity, not pain.
4. Will read more books. And some in the local language.
5. Stop hating those who were hated in the past. Again, it is soooo last season.
6. Brush my teeth more than once a day (OH COME ON! Admit it, we all have our own grimy secrets. I am trying to conserve water and toothpaste and effort.)
7. Will moisturize more.
8. Will stop acting like a person experiencing a grand mal seizure everytime I facilitate a class. The hand gestures WILL be toned down.
9. Trainees are people too. Must remember that.

and 10. Make an honest effort to be nicer. Even if it hurts.

The "TP" in INTP does not stand for Tissue Paper

Otherwise known as "The Thinker". It's somewhat interesting how we can easily be dropped into categories and mapped out by taking a "kinda scientific" personality quiz.

Frightening thing is that the description fit me to a tee --- including my intense disdain for facades and logical approach to feelings.

I hate complications. Though I do acknowledge the greys, some things can fully be filtered and made easy.

It's either you are or you aren't. If you are unsure, then that might just mean you aren't. Or if you already are and is refusing to admit it, then YOU ARE. You can't be not and not know it --- unaired doubts just means that you refuse to acknowledge the truth. Whatever that may be.

Currently on the quest for a restaurant that serves whole roasted duck and / or chicken within the Ortigas area. I already have Gloria Maris for the duck.

Sigh. Things I do....

-----
Currently reading "Burning Bright" by Tracy Chevalier. It's lovely prose. Akin to seeing light through stained glass.

Saw Rei the other day. She looks lovely. Italy suits her. And so does her boyfriend.

I want someone like you
but not you.
I want someone like you,
but not you.
- ME.

Like, Stalk, Celery.

Like.

I think you're good looking with a possibly nasty disposition and hyper intelligence that just bothers me at times. Your soul is older than me and when you let that little guard slip, there is this incredibly indelible sadness that I have no particular desire to erase.

We should have coffee sometime.

Stalk

Tried googling my name. Said there that I have a Facebook account (Oh please, as if Friendster is not tedious enough) I also have a profile in LinkedIn which is odd because I haven't officially set up my profile yet. Turns out that my namesake works as a marketing coordinator / civil engineer based in the greater New York area. Hmm. I am personally barely civil and mostly engineer indirect manip...er stuff. Cool though since there is a version of my name roaming NY and hopefully living a life free from people with good intentions spewing out of every orifice. There is also one who published pathetic poetry online.

You, on the other hand also have a LinkedIn Profile, a comment in a gadget themed blog and apparently, a profile in a singles website (!?!) that guarantees marriage in, oh, a year or so. OH MY GOD, it was his parents who posted his profile in the website! MUST. CHOKE. BACK. LAUGHTER. Ahaha...Ahahaha....AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I have no idea whether he is actually aware of this... how do I go about setting up a prank?

Celery

Celery is good for you. People who have a definitive historical background are complicated. Stay away from boys who are potentially gay.
