better that we break

I never knew perfection til
I heard you speak, and now it kills me
Just to hear you say the simple things
Now waking up is hard to do
And sleeping is impossible too
Everything is reminding me of you
What can I do?

It’s not right, not OK
Say the words that you say
Maybe we’re better off this way?

I’m not fine, I’m in pain
It’s harder everyday
Maybe we’re better off this way?
It’s better that we break, baby
-
maroon 5, better that we break

In Loving Memory

Today is Aunty Cate's 1 year Anniversary since her passing.
For those who do not know, Aunty Cate is Jun's mom.

Even though I only knew her for a year, she always made me feel right at home.

She would always ask me to come over to their house and just spend time, she liked it when there were a lot of people in the house.
I remember clearly all those nights when we would go out for supper, all the times that I sent and followed her to church, all the holidays and family outings she invited me on, the time when I was at home alone with her and she took out her photo album to show me the best times of her life and all her advice and well wishes.
One thing I cherish the most is her
weekly text messages with quotes from the bible or simply her own words. I still keep every one of them in my phone.
All these things seem so recent, but it has already been a year.

I'm thankful I got to know her.


I hope that she is no longer suffering and is among the angels in heaven, as she believed in that after life.




From a book I've been reading.

"I think that spirits live on, I don't know if its in heaven or if its somewhere else, some other place that I don't even know about. But it doesn't just die. It lives on. Even if its in the hearts of the people we love." - tony parsons, man and boy.


my temporary home.


HELLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOO FRIENDS.

kay, so i've been in US for 22 days now. a week more, and it'll be a month, so fast :) i'm getting used to the weather, school's starting to get hectic, going job hunting this week (hope i'll get something, soon) and am looking for a club/society to join for the next 2 yrs or so.

here's a look at my room.
dorm style, baaaaby

my side


<-- close up of my wall. its like a huge pin board. so i filled it with pics. think there's like 90 or so in there. haha, i know, overboard but it makes my side not look so empty. i didnt bring alot of stuff, so there's not much to fill up my side with. my roommate has a tv, fridge, make up corner, plastic drawers and a whole lot of other shit. ooh, and on the top right corner was the welcome note my roomie stuck on my desk the day i moved in.








roomie's side, she lifted her bed higher so she could put the fridge and drawers under there. she has to climb on her desk to get up. haha. she's thinking of getting a mini step ladder.-->















<-- this is my closet

















this is my desk-->















<--
roommate's closet



















roomie's desk and make up corner (she brought the white furniture, its really cute)-->




















< -- roommate's side, with the mini tv that provides ALOT of entertainment


















so yeah, this is my place for the next 4 months. its not as crammed as it looks, lotsa walking space in between. pretty cozy. the other girls on the floor are pretty nice, decent, no wild drunk bitches or anything, so all is good in life :)
the campus is not super huge cause its in the middle of downtown, the longest it takes to walk somewhere is prolly 15 mins? and downtown has a whole lot of restaurant, nightclubs and businesses. no shopping mall :( but i guess thats good, i have no control. the mall is a bus away

and i miss home already :/ yeah, everyone prolly knows that by now. haha. i miss my family aloooot, didn't think i'd miss em this much so fast. i think its cause im not used to being this far away from my parents. and of course i miss jun like craaaaaaaaaaaaazzzzy!! and i miss the boys. the boys who are the only people who read our crap. haha.
and i miss the N and Y. u guys never pick up the phone, u guys don't deserve phones. haha

gonna have some CNY gatherings next week, so will post smth abt that, i guess.
don't have a cam yet,thinking of getting one sometime next month, see if i get a job first ;) but its pretty cheap here, can get a gd one for a $150-200..

so, have fun gambling and stuffing yourselves silly.
you too, Y!
