My website’s back up! It’s been down for almost three days because I wasn’t able to pay my hosting on time. Plus there were lots of expenses and other stuff that I had to pay for, so I had to put it off for a bit. But everything’s okay now, so it’s back to blogging again.

I’ve been wanting to blog about my new pets! I bought them last Sunday (and, compulsively too, I must add) and I was so excited to bring them home. They are my first ever hamster pets. The only pets I’ve had in the past were dogs and a tankful of fish (initially, in salt water then I switched to fresh water since salt water aquarium is so hard to maintain).

As opposed to pet dogs, I never liked cats. It’s not because I hate them hate them, I think it’s mainly because, on some level, I’m scared of them. When I happen to encounter a cat, I always imagine that there’s more to those mysterious stares that it gives and that it will attack me ferociously with its sharp claws any minute. Exag! Or maybe I was somewhat traumatized after watching the Stephen King film Sleepwalkers when I was a kid. Lol.

I’ve always been a dog-person and I still am. I think they’re just the loveliest and friendliest pets (except for the big, mean ones). I still dream to have my own Labrador, Beagle or even a Chow-chow. But we all know how those kinds of pets cost in this part of the globe so they are out of the question. I even asked a pet shop worker once about the price of a Beagle and a St. Bernard and I was shocked to hear that they actually cost more or less 60,000-70,000 Php! That’s almost the same price as a pre-owned old model car.

So while I obviously can’t afford those expensive pups, I’ll gladly settle for 110 Php pair of hamsters for now. My male hamster’s name is “Mr. Jingles” from the movie The Green Mile. (Yes, I am aware that Mr. Jingles is actually a mouse. lol) and the female one is “Belle” coz she’s just so beautiful.

I still can’t get over Warner Bros’ “Lady in the Water.” We went to see it last Sunday and I didn’t expect that I’m gonna like it that much, but I really did! :D M. Night Shyamalan is one heckuva screenplay writer (and actor-producer-director). It’s about a man, leading a simple quiet life, who one day encounters a lady that suddenly emerged from beneath their apartment building’s swimming pool. This lady happens to be a narf, a sea-nymph from an epic bedtime story. She comes to the world of humans with a significant purpose and she is considered to be the most important being in her world. The lady’s epic story and the way they discovered it bit by bit were very imaginative! It kept me holding my breath until the end of the movie. Anyway, it’s definitely a must-see! The best M. Night Shyamalan film I’ve seen so far. (yeah, I wasn’t impressed with Signs that much.. hehe.) Go go go!

I’m working on graveyard shift this week, and since there’s plenty of time to spare, I’ve been thinking of blogging but the problem is… I can’t think of anything sensible to write! :(

I don’t know why that is so when it’s impossible that nothing is happening in my life. So maybe there is nothing worth-blogging and my life is simply boring that way that I couldn’t even put any of it into words.

Maybe I could write about my college friends who I met up with last weekend. Ai-ai was here so we took her around for a bit. We walked around the mall and talked about the things that are keeping us busy these days and asked about how everyone else from our batch were doing. I missed hanging out with them. It’s been 2 years since we graduated; time surely flies.

Or I could share how WordPress is driving me absolutely nuts! Fortunately, I have a very pretty friend who’s patient and kind enough to explain the basics and install some plugins for me. Haha. I’m having a hard time learning stuff by myself these days… It seems that I prefer spoonfeeding!

I could also write about my brother who’s coming here next week to join us. He’s going job-hunting too so let’s all hope that works out for the best.

Also, I watched Pride & Prejudice on DVD yesterday, and I think it’s a “nice” film. Hehe. You get the point. :P

I’m finally done reading Kafka On The Shore by Haruki Murakami last week, and I have to say that I enjoyed it. For a fantasy novel, it was rather interesting. And I like the way the author included a lot of historical facts that I’ve never heard before. So you could say I learned quite a few from it.

My high school has finally launched its official website. I got all nostalgic just browsing through it. A lot has changed since the year I graduated high school (March 2000). And I’m thinking that it would be really nice if I could come and visit my alma mater one of these days.

I went to see Nacho Libre with Deej tonight. Jack Black was pretty hilarious. But it was obviously a low-budgeted film, so one must not expect too much.

And.. this weight-reduction thing is harder that I thought! Waah.

But on to more serious stuff…

Sometimes I feel that no matter what I do or how hard I try the effort that I’m exerting is still in vain. I mean, how does one really prove his or her worth when that’s not really how things are supposed to be? Do things have to take time? Or does one just have to make up his or her mind, give up whatever it is, and see the bigger picture — that it is not meant to be — so would you just stop pushing it!

But, if you ask me now, I just want to do something special for people. I want to help whoever that may need my help. I want to be able to help my family more. I want to serve God, but I don’t know how I can do that now. I want to minister to children, maybe teach in a Sunday School like I used to so I could share Bible stories and see the amazed looks on the kids’ faces.. I think that would really give me much fulfillment and help me forget how I’m feeling sort of worthless right now. There are a lot of things that I feel I want to do but in the situation that I am now, I feel very limited. And that makes me kinda sad..

Eek. Just as I suspected earlier, this blog entry wouldn’t make much sense. So please excuse me, I think I need some sleep.
