My Imperfections

2009-02-06T06:02:00.000-08:00

Current Mood: I'm not in the mood for other activities aside from making blog entries and waiting. *sighs* I think all I need now is a word from 2 people I really treasure the most. *looks outside the window* I honestly want them back right now. I know it sounds so selfish of me because they're 'out there' and far away from me because I did something so stupid. I just hate myself for being like that.

Reflections: As the first month of 2009 draws to a close, I suddenly felt making a new blog entry to sum up not just the ‘simple changes’ that I have gotten through; but also those who kept my mind boggling. *sighs* Okay, let’s start things right then~!

Recap: There have been a lot of things that has happen these past few weeks. The start of year 2009 indeed, became a very unusual year. I have seen new people with different personalities and perception towards things, bewildered by unforeseen endeavors, tripped on 'stones' and soaked my feet in 'puddles' I never expected that will be on my way, rediscovered beliefs that I have forgotten through time, developed my feelings towards a few people and realized a lot of changes that was starting to forge me to become a different person. Most of them really drive the adrenaline out of me because of excitement but a few of them left me stunned, shocked and crying in a corner. Take note: Those stuff that made me crying was mainly my fault. Really.

As I reminisce and reflect on all the things that have passed through me, the first questions that suddenly popped in my mind is:

Am I apathetic? What is it in me that make me so dense? What does it mean to be dense?

*sighs* I just don't know. People have been telling me that I'm so apathetic when everyone's crying their heart out. I’m like there watching all of them making a hell out of a situation or when someone’s about to leave and that person’s going to go far away and will be gone for 10 years or so. But the first thing that comes to my mind is, why should I cry- to show sympathy or to make them aware that I care about what’s happening? I can show those by other means; not just by crying. Another thing is, if I cry my heart out, will something change? For example, if I have cried during the time my best friend was going to leave the country, will that stop here from going to Canada and stay here? NO.

I’m not in the mood for this kind of talk. Can we save the words later?

*peace sign* I’m sorry guys. My mind just told me that it doesn’t want to talk about this topic. Maybe I’ll just continue this post~ or make another continuation! *smiles*

P.S. People always say that they're always ready to let go when it comes to the ones they love. One thing's for sure: They're not doing it very well. Yes, they are willing to let go of that person but usually caught off guard during the moment of truth.

State of Stability: QUESTIONED.

2009-01-26T01:23:00.000-08:00

Current Mood: I'm drained. Bahh. I just can't help myself. Hai; it just turned out that the rain started falling once again; like Niagara falls, I guess. If Rico were here, I know he wouldn't let this happen. But then again: Face the truth Michelle. He's not here today. Neither Dark, Daniel-niisama or Kira-niichan. It's time to grow up some more. You're not the same little girl who still loves to fool around. Stop being so naive. *sighs*

It's nice to talk to yourself, sometimes.

It's been 19 hours and 54 minutes since I encountered that situation. All I did was eat a lot chocolates and stayed up all night. I'm so lucky 'cause I don't have any classes during Mondays. I ate those so I can get over with all the stuff that's happening to me; expecting that I'll have energy will run through my veins. Yes; I was very active in physical terms but the raging emotions were amplified;making my adrenaline rush go stronger and stronger.

I AM RESTLESS, INVISIBLE AND WET. Right now, I patched my heart and mind with such ideas~ matters like studies, projects, reviews, friends, affection and hope; hoping that I will be at the very least, at ease. However, I can't stay like this forever. Will this be goodbye? I hope not. I want us to stay together just like in the old days.

I hope he can hear me. I hope you can hear me.

A Year-Ending Post

2008-12-30T05:59:00.000-08:00

Okay. Let's set things up first: This just came out of my mind all of a sudden~ and this is pretty rare so I better take the chance to speak up, spill and express myself. So, let's start!

"Complain a little. Get upset or something. Let people know what's on your mind. It's what you got to sometimes..."

Honestly, I was really touched by this line. For someone like me who rarely speak about what I really feel (especially in the older days, when I was in my first year of high school), I was awaken by this. For some reason, it did give me some chills when I first heard of it. It was like all my fears were drawn out of me. It felt so warm inside; it's like the sun's shining down upon me and the summer breeze's hugging me so tight. I never thought someone will say those words to me~ not to me.

"Why is it that you can give me all the words that I really need to hear the most right now?"

I've been asking myself why can't I ask this to people I really cherish even if I've been dying to ask it to them? It's funny, though. Those people, most of the time feel about about themselves. I just hope they realize how special they are.

Bahh. I'm sleepy. Guess I'm gonna continue this tomorrow morning. Oyasumi. (:

It's Been a While, Isn't It?

2008-10-25T06:51:00.000-07:00

It's been a long time since I made an official entry here in my blog, didn't I? Hmmm...*thinks* I guess it's more than two months already. It may seemed to those who read my blog that I already left it and all but actually, almost all of the entries after this post started as drafts. Well, it's just to make it a point that I will not skip those moments. :)

Actually, a lot of things happened during those two months. I think I made a lot of big decisions and I did experience a lot of drastic changes. It really changed me as a whole-- my personality, my perception towards things, my attitude towards people and my beliefs. I guess, I've taken the 'bumpy path'~ and it feels so good. XD

Reflection: Part Two

2008-07-11T07:24:00.000-07:00

Before the end of the year, I decided to make this blog entry that will always remind me of what I have learned since the day that I was born until this very day. This will always inspire me and will make me continue to explore the world and its wonders; the different lives that I want to know more; the people I want to understand and many other secrets and facts that life has to offer. I know what I'm saying is pretty sentimental and corny for some people but if you look at the deeper side of this, it can't be helped. If you want to express yourself up to the point that you'll feel satisfied at the very end, you have to accept the fact that forming an image of 'being corny' for some time is a part of showing sincerity.

*Sighs* That was a good start. But more important part is the message of this whole blog entry.

First and foremost, it's a victory, not a failure to admit my problems, acknowledge any wrong I've done, and of course, turn them to a higher power for help.

It's healthy to accept and love myself, and let others love me, for I am worthy of respect and love. Every person is worthy for these things; which should not be taken for granted.

It's always okay to trust others and myself. I guess, i can be responsible for myself, just as others can be responsible for themselves.We should be responsible enough for every thing we make.

It's possible for me to be happy since happiness depends on myself and my attitude, not on other people or things. If you're optimistic, I guess your day is always well-lived~ doubts are not that many, I guess. If you're pessimistic and the only reason you act like this is because you're just considering all the possibilities, you're excuse is definitely unacceptable. At any rate, there's still time for change.

It's also plausible for me to change if I set realistic goals; I can reach them one by one; one step at a time; one day at a time. Never pressure yourself or push yourself to the limit. Obstacles are normal when you try to reach your goals. Just treat them as tests, not burdens.

This became hard for me at first until I realize that this is a universal truth. I can't do everything or anything perfectly, but the fact that I can do something is really a 'something'. If I fail or something, I guess it's okay. There's no failure except in not trying.

Also, it's alright to set limits to keep my sanity and serenity. It's okay to let things go that can't be changed or that do not matter. I know this can be hard for a lot of people especially on the 'letting go' part. We have the tendency to be possesive which can lead to misunderstandings. We have to be selfless at some point of our life and accept the fact that we have to let go- even if it can be hard at some point.

*Sighs* I guess this is it. And i've spend many years just to learn and at least, accept these things. It can be hard at some point but the happiness it give is something so precious- it's just priceless. So at this very moment, I will end this blog entry with a promise.

I promise- with my mind, body and soul to put these things on mind. With these lessons of life that my experiences taught me, I know- I can hang on. I still have a long way to go- and I can do it; everyone can for sure.

Reflection: Part One

2008-07-11T07:22:00.001-07:00

"When you walk away, you don't hear me say 'Please; oh baby, don't go..."
~ from the song "Simple and Clean" by Utada Hikaru

This is really a 'something' to me and my closest friends in school. I still remember the time when they said that when they entered a relationship and it's not 'meant' to be, they won't be begging the guy to stay. They were so confident and self-assured until we entered high school.

Like they say, highschool's very different from grade school or middle school. At the same time, we're at the stage wherein we undergo countless changes in all aspects~ physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and moral. Then the promise we all made before enetering high school was tested.

"Please~ I beg you, don't go..."
"I need you~ please stay by my side..."
" Am I not good enough for you? Is that why you're leaving me now?"

I've heard these lines a lot from many 'highschoolers'~ and from my friends who promised that they won't say these sentences when they arrive in a situation like these. It's unevitable.

"Pathetic. You broke your promise..."

Those were the words that came out from my mouth at that moment. Actually, it was not meant to hurt them~ but it did...a lot. My goal for saying that is to make them realize that life must go on even if those guys left them. Arrggh. I was really stupid at that time for saying that. Actually, it took me some time to realize that I was actually wrong. Their tears made me realize that I should comforting them~ not blaming them because of my stupid excuse. Well, I've learned the lesson already and it's fun to know that it helped it me a lot~ in many ways.

Many have shed tears because of this thing called love. Hmmm... I'm just so proud of myself. Inside our 'circle of friends' , I'm one of the three people (out of ten) that didn't cry because of this thing. And right at this very moment, I promise that I'll be keeping this promise.

Love: Something Complicated

2008-07-11T07:20:00.000-07:00

Affection, Love, Puppy love, True love, First love or whatever you may call it- it’s just one aspect that can’t be removed and/or expressed in the whole wide world. The ‘living’ express this in many ways (why living? Animals know how to express this too)... it can be verbally ( saying words ‘full of love and affection), showing ‘acts of love’ (whatever you may call it..) and many others. In most cases, friends end up ‘loving’ each other. People feeling frustration with each other turn out to be adoring each other. I’m not sure about this concept yet, there’s one thing I’m really sure about this aspect of life: Whether you are loved or you love someone ( I’m talking about one-sided love), there’s a different kind of emotion that develops in you- I can’t really say what it is but it does make you feel warm and safe inside. For me, this concept is a bit crucial for me because I’ve never felt that feeling from someone else. So here’s a question to all people who have read the entry: What happens if someone wasn’t given love back? What will be the right thing to do? Will there be such a "right thing" to do in the first place?

*Thinks* Why am I asking this anyway? Haist. Just bear with my curious mind people. (:

Know About the Deeper Side

2008-07-11T07:18:00.000-07:00

Hi! People call me in various names. Schoolmates and most people I know call me Michelle. My Japanese friends call me Resha 'cause they can't speak the letter 'l' in my name (and Michieru's too long for them already~). People who are close to me call me Mitch (well, there are others who simple just feel to call me in that name). My longest-running best friend (she's a blast~!) calls me Witchelle sometimes (especially when I tend to be a witch-mage). Another best friend of mine call me Michieru.

*thinks* Oh~! Enough with the names~

Anyways, I'm a 15-year-old student and a certified anime addict (not obsessed..Okay?) People around me say that I'm outgoing and sensitive- in a good way. I'm also aware to the fact that there are people that don't like me or they just don't feel being with someone like me. I mean, you can't please everyone yet, try to reach out and maybe, you'll meet each other half way.

Right now, I can say that I became more responsible, patient and fun- loving than before. I really want to live my life to its fullest. How 'bout that? I mean, there's just 'certain' events and 'certain' people who changed my life..who changed the way who I am. Thanks to them.. I realized that I don't want to be someone else..that I want to show everyone who I am- the real me.

Also, a friend told me that there's nothing to be afraid of..especially what may happen in the future or whatever happened during the past. The imporatant thing is what you are today and what you think right now. Free your mind- feel free to tell everyone your feelings! Why would you be afraid to show who you are(unless you're not hurting anyone, right?)*_*

Well, I really can't describe myself completely 'cause like other people out there, there are many things I am discovering and will discover about myself. And believe it or not, I'm not that aware of the a concept in life called LOVE. I never thought of 'soulmates', boyfriend/girlfriend relationships because I'm pretty clueless about it. Well, I've never been involved in a greater relationship (aside from friendship and family) so I don't have that much idea about it. I know the some stories that my friends told me. They usually give advices to me like you shouldn't be possesive; you must have an open mind while you're in a relationship..stuff like that. Yet, there's one thing that I'm really sure. You don't have to find the person who is really for you and don't wait for that person to come as well. That person can be very far or very near to you but you can never tell what's gonna happen next. Just expect the unexpected.

I need answers to questions. I want to feel contented and satisfied. I want to be someone whom every person can tell his/her thoughts. And I guess, I still have a long way to go-- we still have a long way to go. So, guys out there, let's just hang on and let's keep it up, shall we?
