THE MORE LOVING ONE
by W.H. Auden

Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least
We have to dread from man or beast.

How should we like it were stars to burn
With a passion for us we could not return?
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.

Admirer as I think I am
Of stars that do not give a damn,
I cannot, now I see them, say
I missed one terribly all day.

Were all stars to disappear or die,
I should learn to look at an empty sky
And feel its total dark sublime,
Though this might take me a little time.

this is beautiful. i've always loved ithis poem .... sigh

well i hope you all had a wonderful christmas ... i made 3450php so far and i have one more reunion to go to. i'm tired of hearing how fat i have gotten so i plan to starve and exercise myself back to 51kg once school kicks in.

i'm having some difficulty with blogger... so please go HERE for my journal ... until i figure out what to do with my blog ok =)

advanced happy new year everyone! don't blow off any fingers or other body parts! stay safe

i now remember why jan and i are bestfriends .... we're both psychotic when it comes to matters of the heart.

i miss being called mahal ..... seriously.

the current contents of my condo unit:
- the usual furniture
- seven people [myself included]
- four computers

we're doing our operations management project. we're trying to finish as much of it tonight [till tomorrow morning] to alleviate some of the before the christmas break workload. *sigh*

now it's BUGGY again .. my colums have weird margins on the right side!!!!! aaaaarrrrrrggggggghhhhhhh

and the new layout is FINALLY done. things are so much easier when there arent' any pictures involved. i have now reduced my website to ONE page

"and there's not enough room in this world for my pain, signals cross, love gets lost and times past makes it plain of all my demon spirits ... I'm in love with your ghost" I.G.

i got that at 1am from someone who didn't register on my phone.... before lunch time i learned it was from NeN. i'm wondering why and how she's got my phone number. it's a lovely quote.... i'm just wondering why it was sent to me.

a battery of tests i just couldn't resist....








well i really liked this album and i really love the song so i guess i'm happy with these resulst hehehe

If I were a work of art, I would be Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa.I am extremely popular and widely known. Although unassuming and unpretentious, my enigmatic smile has charmed millions. I am a mystery, able to be appreciated from afar, but ultimately unknowable and thus intriguing.Which work of art would you be? The Art Test

erp! yeah right ...being the mona lisa would also mean i am expensive, sought after, classic, and eyebrow-less ... i would much rather be an andy warhol creation ... then again i could have ended up as a monet [...pretty when in the distance , really warped and disfigured when up close ..ick]

If I were a James Bond villain, I would be Aristotle Kristatos.I enjoy archaeology, unspecified relations with young ice skating protegés, and betraying my allies. I am played by Julian Glover in For Your Eyes Only.>Who would you be? James Bond Villain Personality Test

ok honestly i don't even know who this is ... and i do not go for girls.... why couldn't i have been electra? *sigh* hehehehe

happy birthday to me happy birthday to me happy birthday happy birthday..... happy birthday to me

last night peachy treated me out to dinner ate sweet inspirations ... i ate two bowls of mongolian [i only usually eat ONE] and them kinda threw up a few minutes after leaving the restaurant ... proof i am not a bottomless pit.

well i still haven't paid for edge's "game of you" [brand new still in plastic] .. my birthday gift to myself .. i will pay for it tomorrow [!]

i have to finish compiling our overdue history paper tonight otherwise ms. santos [my rather boring mojojojo like teacher] will have my head. i've done all of the acetates.. i just have to compile the entire report..

so far i have gotten 2 cards [one from aish and onre from rainier. =)

my philo class has somewhatt inspired me to fix my layout .... i actually have a pretty good idea of what to do now ....

ok i'm weird ...
