tis the season
less than a month to go, my friends.
and i bet that you guys, being the wonderful people that you are, are up to your knees wondering what to get me for this wonderful christmas. let me help you with that.
i present: reinzi's magnificent and so utterly "cry of desperation"-ish christmas list.
1. novels. anyone who knows me well knows that i'm a novel junkie. get me anything that's worth reading and i'll love you forever. authors? gaiman, coelho, brown, king, koontz, pelzer... i'm a sucker for just about any genre.
2. an ipod (video, nano, mini, original, U2 version, i really don't care). i have succumbed to the powers of mp3 commercialization and i admit it. and i promise to use it everyday to listen to music and not to just show off those white headphones as if they were some sort of ridiculous fashion statement.
3. wireless internet in the condo unit. the only reason i've been able to use the internet here is because somebody in the tower has been too dumb enough not to secure his or her connection. which is an advantage, i guess. but people get smart too. thus, the need for wireless.
4. sweet thingy from batangas. it's like this sweet sugarcane-y thing that's sold in containers that look like the things people cook dimsum in, except they're much smaller. my mom bought some for me like a year ago and i haven't stopped craving for them since then.
5. proactiv. my skin is breaking out like hell and i hate it.
6. ventolin inhaler. the recent asthma attack has rendered me dependent on salbutamol once again and i can't go anywhere without this. and my stock is almost gone. you can get me the one with 200 actuations. or if you're some sort of miracle worker, you could get me...
7. a new set of healthy lungs. which are asthma-and-any-sort-of-respiratory-disease-free.
8. or you could just give me a truckload of money and i'll be on my merry way.
advanced happy christmas everyone. :)

Insecurity
"There is not one original person in this city."
I forgot what movie I heard that line from, but it seems pretty applicable even outside this city. Like the earth, for instance.
Nobody is a 100% original. I get it, even I wouldn't dare claim that I am. A lot of things I like or do, I got from others.
My fluency in the english language - International School.
My fluency in the conyo language - Miriam.
My fluency in the art of cursing - Pisay.
My tendency to cram - Pisay.
My love for alternative music - Pisay.
My tendency to keep up with every recent online trend - my brother.
My then fascination for Charles and Keith shoes - Chie.
My recent obsession with the color pink - Gelie.
My inclination to the colors lavender and purple - Nicole.
My stubborness - my brother.
My sensitivity - hormones. so maybe i didn't get this from other people.
All I'm saying is that not everything I do comes from "within". Of course people have influenced me. Of course I pick little things up here and there. But I am not about to pattern my own personality after someone else's. I speak differently. I check out other genres of music. I try to study well once in a while. I look for other good brands of shoes. Hey, I even pick out the color blue sometimes. A little appreciation for the actions and good taste of other people is perfectly fine, but why turn yourself into a Mini-Me of the people around you when you're fine just the way you are?
Why do some people keep thinking that everything about them just isn't enough?
