Oh Urban Dictionary!

First and foremost, I would like to apologize for the lack of anything sensible to write. It's just that school has been taking most of my time lately, although I've been pretty messed up for not setting my priorities and procrastinating. Hehe!

For another senseless post, here is something from Urbandictionary.com. I know I am a bit notorious for googling myself (a.k.a. ego surfing), I still haven't found anything written bad about me online, despite being so stuck up, mean, and bitchy. I assume no one would actually admit those words to themselves, but I've got a handful of people who can really attest to that.

I was browsing facebook awhile ago and saw my boy bud Miggy's post about UD about his name's meaning so I ended up doing the same. Here's what I got:

(click for larger view)
I got six meanings for my name in the UD, with nos. two and three as the "best" haha! and six as the funniest.

So what does your name mean in UD?

From my Heroine

The thing about writing is not to talk, but to do it; no matter how bad or even mediocre it is, the process and production is the thing, not the sitting and theorizing about how one should write ideally, or how well one could write if one really wanted to or had the time. As Mr. Kazin told me: “You don’t write to support yourself; you work to support your writing.”

Every time one sits down to that blank page, there is that fresh horror, which must be overcome by practice and practice.

The constant struggle in mature life, I think, is to accept the necessity of tragedy and conflict, and not try to escape to some falsely simple solution which does not include these more somber complexities.

Writing sharpens life; life enriches writing.

It is the articulation of experience which is so necessary to me; even if I never publish again, I shall still have to write, because it is the main way I give order to this flux which is life.

I am fighting, fighting, and I am making a self, in great pain, often, as for a birth, but it is right that is should be so, and I am being refined in the fires of pain and love.

Can't Write a Single Line

It's painful.
Feelings can't even be digressed. It's like being shot, point- blanc. You never knew things would be in the same cycle. Getting hurt and sadness seem to make a good combination. It can always, always put you down. Shoving people away from you, making them feel unappreciated.

Always in this position.
Thinking what if it never happened? What if it never occurred to people that it would be nice to find their perfect fit? What if you're better off, alone than be eternally hurting because of other people? It's not even proper.

But you should always be hopeful.
There will be a lot of days like this in the future. When on the verge of giving up, there will always be someone to lift you and make things better.

But probably not someone you always thought you knew.

At Wits End

There are so many things that a lot of people don't understand. Not being self- righteous, but really there are a lot of things that does not require reflection to get the point. Really. I don't know whether it's plain insensitivity or just stupidity. I don't get it.

If you're a normal person, you can probably have a grasp whether or not you are hated. It can come out quite obviously if people start going against your direction or they don't want to include you. Listen, not all things will be about you and no matter how much you push yourself to it, if it's not for you, it isn't for you. A little sensitivity would be much appreciated. Take a time off and smell your environment.

Suck on that.

Kitchen Dreams

I don't know how to cook.

That's something really unfortunate for my future husband and family. I can't cook a decent meal to save my life and probably if I start living on my own, years from now, I'm afraid I will have to depend on take- outs and fast food dine- ins. All my past boyfriends know this. All the guys who started making the moves also knew about this. The potential husband to be knows this. I'm glad this has not caused any issue. Well, just yet.

Two weeks ago, my boyfriend asked me to cook for him, but I ended up buying a meal from Burger King. I think he's a better cook than I am. He can make anything, he's a kitchen genius. Maybe because he's been living independently for three years now and his family is into this cooking- activity- as- a- bonding thing, which my family do not have. We leave all the cooking to mama, because she's a really good cook.

Sometimes I wonder how mama whips out those delicious meals. I mean, she's not into those cooking shows and she only reads cooking books when she has to (e.g. cook meal for party, special occasion) But to read it like most women do, say leisurely, no, she does not do that. Sometimes when there are left over ingredients in the fridge, give everything to her and she can absolutely make something out of it. She's a kitchen extraordinaire.

Although I may look like someone who's not interested in cooking meals, I am definitely much willing to learn and take on any dish. Deep inside, I want to cook something. I want to come up with a meal. I want to cook something soupy, like Sinigang na Baboy. I want to cook the staple Filipino food Adobo. I want to cook my comfort food Menudo, but I want them to taste like Mama's. I don't think I'll be able to eat them if they don't taste the same as hers.

I remember during our Home Economics class in High School, we were taught how to cook simple meals. Those that involve deep frying, boiling, etc. All I did was buy the ingredients and boss people around and tell them what to do. When the teacher's there, that's when I will "involve" myself. When she leaves, I'd be the first one to go. The only time I allowed myself to get involved in was when we started baking. I loved baking pies! We used to do custard pies back then and mine is always a hit, because I "put my heart in to it." Other than the pies, everything else is FAIL, I have to say.

The only reason I can think of now why I don't like cooking is because it takes a lot of time. You have to carefully measure everything to get the right taste and texture. You have to wait for the pan to heat up or the water to boil before you put something. Cooking entails a lot of waiting and I am afraid that's something I do not have. I lack the patience. If probably I can gather up enough patience, then I can probably come up with my own dish.

For now, I'll be waiting for my patience to level up and by then hopefully I can whip out my own Sinigang na Baboy, like the one we're having tonight for dinner.

i've been through a lot of orgs, i know a lot of people around the whole damn university, i hang out with them and get drunk with a lot of people. but none of them are friends, the real kind. yeah this was the last person.
  • o im sorry about this. have you tried hanging out with people outside your university? or your high school friends?
ever since i've been in this fucking university i have no real friends. no one understands what i'm trying to say, or cares enough to sit down and ask me what is going on. i have to deal with myself alone. you're lucky.
  • you probably haven't found the right set of friends yet. join orgs and go outside your classmates. broaden your network, you might find your right fit there. if all else fails, send me your questions, i'll help you through formspring.

If someone’s treating you in a way you dont deserve to be treated, will you still hold on?

  • Eeep. I say I will hold on, until the person tells me I should stop holding on. If you ask me this last year, I would have probably given a different answer.

Sumagi na ba sa isip mo na ang pretentious mo?

  • Di e :p Ikaw ba?

What are your plans after graduation?

  • I’ll probably work first then study at DLSU a year after or when schedule permits :) I really want to take up MA in Communications or Lit :)

Aba, todo sa advice ah, anong sikreto mo? Haha. by iosepusmagus

  • hahahaha :)) madami akong sikreto ;)

my boyfriend for 6 years, and i just broke up a week ago. and it hurts, i know you know. i’m not sure what’s with me pero i don’t seem to be really sad. and just some hours ago he asked me kung may bago na daw ako. and i didn’t reply. i don’t know, i seem to not care anymore, about him, about the break up. does this mean i’m really over us? or can this be some defense mechanism? i don’t know who else to ask eh. sorry :|

  • Hi! Are you the same person who asked about his 6 year- relationship to someone who hasn’t introduced the GF to his family?
well, first, Im really sorry about the break up. yes, I’ve been there. The weird thing also is, I also broke up with someone and didn’t feel sad. Sabihin ko na lang sayo yung case ko. I don’t think it was my defence mechanism eh, maybe I was just too tired and unconsciously, while we’re together, I just want to end things with him kaya after nung break up, I didn’t feel so sad about it. I felt relieved actually.
In your case, I think that’s a defence mechanism, because just by saying that you’re hurting, it means you’re feeling something and when you’re hurt, it’s either you’re angry or sad. I don’t think you’re already over him, but rather you’re using that to cover up your sadness, which I say you should acknowledge.

I suggest you go through the process, don’t sugar coat or do anything. It’s necessary to feel everything because you’ll feel something’s missing in the future if you skip through it.

I hope I helped you. :)

yep. ako nga yun. (previous question). ang totoo naguiguilty ako, kase i can feel he’s making some efforts for us to be ok, not necessarily as a couple again but as friends at least. we’re good friends for 4 years kase prior to being a couple. oh well. siguro since i’m busy din, the break up hasn’t completely dawned to me yet. hahaha. i think i should give it more time. :) thanks!

  • Yeah, give it some time. but don’t let it consume your time naman hehe :-)i if he’s making efforts to be friends again, oks lang pero wag muna pilitin kung di kaya. :-) sabi nga sa akin dati, you have to go through CIA: There’s Catharsis, there’s Insight, there’s Action. :) ipiga mo lahat ng mapipiga, iyak mo lahat tas realize what you have learned and what you should do, and make an action towards your problem :)

You have a dilemma, what are the first three things you consider doing?

  • Stay calm, weigh things, sleep :) solving the problem comes after sleeping :)

naughty or nice?

  • naughty. if you’re santa, reconsider please? =P

Payag ka, boyfriend mo ideal guy mo, at tipong tatanda ka kasama sya pero ngipin mo one seat apart? by iosepusmagus
