Life of a Kat

It's a cold Sunday afternoon. I am to meet a friend at the mall not far from us when I received a message from one of my college bestfriends-- "Kat, ikakasal na ko sa June, sana makapunta kayo ni Chie." I suddenly felt like walking on a slow motion. Then out of the blue, my tears start falling. I'm happy for my friend, and I also felt sad for myself-- all out of the blue. The Flashback Archi, me and Carding are College buddies, from first year up until graduation, we were classmates. We shared almost all academic success, extra-curricular activities, drinking sessions, broke days, heartbreaks, music almost anything friendship could offer.  I've seen both guys fall in love, fall out of love, how they became mushy when their in love, and get totally screwed at it. Archie got married a couple of years ago to his girlfriend of 1.5 years. Back then, I am happily in love with my then boyfriend. Carding, was having some struggle with his relationship wi...

Stalker mode activated. Girl checks out the boy's profile, saw the posts, read the comments. Deep Sigh. Girl scans the list, looks for a girl's name, clicks on it. Saw the posts, read the comments, saw the boy's name again, there's a smiley and then a "mwuah". Girl suddenly stopped, stared at the monitor display, blinks a few times, holds her right hand onto her chest- it still hurts. ....... to be continued.

One article every week, that's my writing goal for 2013. Whatever it may be, as long as I write something, that could still be something. Having someone else read it and comment about it will just become a bonus and who wouldn't love that :)

There is light in darkness. I was scrolling down at my Facebook page and I noticed that everyone seems to be setting goals for 2013, then I realized, haven't thought about it at all. This year, I had acquired my personal planner from Starbucks, and it was my first time. I had thought of stopping getting planners yearly and stick to a smaller notebook which is more handy. On the first day I had acquired the sticker booklet, I had never thought of completing it. But then, thanks to my friends, and some generous people at the counter who would say they dont collect stickers, I get to acquire more stickers without paying that more or less Php 3000 for a planner. And yes, as they say, I give a spark of hope to some unfortunate people somewhere, I hope I really do. Going back to my goals for 2013. Let me make a list: Attitude: Be thrifty Save more Exercise more Less rice (I cant abide with the no rice policy, I am a rice person. Lol) Career: Refresher on Methods on Teach...

Saturday for me is bum day. It's the only time of the week I can choose whatever I want to do. But then again, it's not always like that. There are times that seems like I seem to just keep on chasing time-- having a marathon with time, and I ended up accomplishing nothing. Finding time to do something I love the most is not easy to find. Finding the words to express myself is never an easy task. As I look around, I noticed that each person is given the equal amount of time everyday to do the things want, no more for him, no less for her. Just equal. I just can't seem to accept the fact that something may be wrong with my preferences, my actions, that's why I can't seem to satisfy my day. I can't accept the truth that there are people that are greater than I ever thought who can sit and continuously write without their thoughts being distracted.

1. Your social circle will narrow. In college, you’ll have lots of acquaintances and party friends but that will dissipate over time. Eventually, you’ll find yourself unable to spark up new friendships simply because you don’t have the time or desire. Now you’ll only make a new friend and let them into your life if you’re absolutely obsessed with them. 2. You’ll seriously consider going to grad school. You’ll call your mom up in a panic one day and explain that you’ve always enjoyed something like psychology and, well, maybe it’s time to start entertaining the idea of, um, being a therapist. Mom? Stop sighing! 3. You will hate your job at some point, even if it’s better than 99% of your other friends’ jobs. You will be overworked and underpaid presumably until you’re 40. Then, you’ll suddenly be overpaid and not do much of anything. Right? That’s how it works? 4. Someone will betray your trust — a friend or a lover — and it will change the way you view people forever. 5. You...
