Got me an LJ!

Hello folks! I got me an LJ account ... look for me HERE.

However that doesn't mean I'll discontinue my use of Blogger and BlogSpot after my long existence here. Thank you! ^_^

A possible name and status change?

Yesterday, during class, my evil Comm 140 prof called me three different names, all permutations of my real name:

1. J_y, my nickname since childhood, where most people recognize me by;
2. J_y_e, the nickname I use in UP; and
3. The kicker: JO -> now where the hell did THAT come from?!?! @_@;;;

And today, my mom, who was irate (as usual) for having to wait for my younger and taller sister to come home (as usual), accidentally  referred to my sister as "ANAK MO" (YOUR DAUGHTER)- to ME.  For those not in the know, I'm bloody friggin' 19 going 20.

I think a possible emancipation from my family, or at the very least a court hearing to have my name changed, is in order. @__________________@;;;

 ++ I shall be back after midterms, my UP Green Minds (no, it's NOT what you think - rather it's an environmental advocacy UP CMC-based organization) application, and other whatnot. Oh, and until I find me a host for my pictures, I can't show you just how cute my new hair looks. So until then, I remain the Goddess of Hope and Happiness... ++

Somewhere Over the Rainbow

The trip to Laguna wasn't as bad as I thought. In fact, it was EVEN BETTER.

On the way home from our last stop, Paete (home to woodcarvers and sculptors), we passed by some rice fields. At the right side of the trusty Mitsubishi Pajero that the driver, my mother, my sisters and I were cooped up in, was a row of rice fields trapped by the cemented road as well as nearby (nearby meaning about five to ten kilometers or so away) mountains. The sun beat down on us from the northwest side, at least that's how it looked from inside the 4X4 anyways.

And that's when we saw IT - A PERFECTLY ARCHED RAINBOW, WITH NEARLY ALL THE COLORS, ALMOST 1 KILOMETER LONG, BOTH ENDS VISIBLE TO THE NAKED EYE. This illustrated a beautiful aspect of the special theory of relativity in physics - while we were moving, the rainbow was "static." I could have sworn that we were sorry to rush to leave the town though, as my Ate and I had other engagements that night.

We hurriedly sent out SMS messages to our Dad and to all our loved ones back in Manila (or completely out of town). 'The reply of Sarah, Ate's friend, takes the cake: "Uy! Good luck 'yun! Tumaya ka na sa lotto! (Hey! That's good luck! You should join the lotto!)."

Unfortunately for Ate, I beat her in a game of jack-en-poy (stone-paper-scissors) a few minutes ago. XD

Well, I don't want to be modest but ... during some part of my life, I can honestly say that I DID have the power of extremely good luck.

It's about time I reclaimed it for myself! ^_^ Mwahahahahaha.

"Happy New Year!" ... or My Lack of a Social life thereof

 Well folks, the year 2004 is here.

Unfortunately for me, my parents are not exactly party people and my sisters ... well, my sisters left me to go to the ball. Okay, maybe that was extreme, but they have their own shindigs to attend these days.

This is one of those times when I wish I have party friends who'll be there for the sole purpose of partying. But alas, most of my friends are, like me, only able to party if their 'rents won't drag them elsewhere - which, in this time and country, means New Year's clan reunions. -_-;;; Sigh.

Ah well, I guess this is a blessing in disguise - after all, I'll spend less and get to sleep more. Or, alternately, play Ragnarok. XD

And it's already past my bedtime. ^_^;;;

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! (*Crosspost Alert*)

Isn't it funny that the more things change, the more they stay the same?

I jsut hope that this year, a lot of things will change. More importantly, I hope I can make them change.

List of Ligaya's Things to Change:
1. My situation, especially my lovelife - Ano na talaga? Sino ba talaga?
2. My weight - Gotta be thin! As in REED-THIN!!!
3. My sleeping habits - Gotta sleep early, and I mean EARLY! (I SWEAR tonight's the last night I'll sleep late!!!)
4. My grades - MUST get a 1.25 this year in all my subjects!
5. My temperament - Must not snap people's heads off too much this year. But hey, I'm working on it...
6. My spending habits - I have a SERIOUS shopping problem ... especially where manga, animé, live-action Asian dramas, numerous fandoms, clothes, and accessories are concerned. ^_^;;; Not to mention that I'm being TOO galante with my orgmates... (Gee, not that I don't want to be galante especially with you guys, but...)
7. My phobias - Hey, I can float now! Whee. XD But only for 5 seconds ... and on shallow water (beyond four feet and I panic). ^_^;;; Ah well, progress IS progress right?
8. My eating habits - I eat too much sweet stuff! Not only am I fat, but my throat is SORE as well!!! XP
9. My procrastinating habits - Ooooooohhhh yeeeeeeeessssssss, this one too! Or else I'll never get a high grade...
10. My uninspired, frequently bored/depressed state - GET UP AND DO SOMETHING GIRL!!!

List of Ligaya's Things to Maintain:
1. Control - Am finally getting this back, little by little. I only hope this'll turn out for the better.
2. Discipline - Same here. Now to pry myself off the internet and the TV...
3. My singing voice - Gotta work on this!
4. My drawing and writing skills - These too!
5. My friendships - Really guys, I hope I'm not driving you away ... if I am I'm truly sorry, and only wish that we continue to remain civil acquaintances, if not intimate friends.
6. Passion - This is a bit easy to keep, but without #1 and # 2 I wouldn't have direction, which is passion with an aim ... and then passion would be useless, won't it? ^_^;
7. Determination - This ... is something I am struggling to maintain! I need this or else numbers 1, 2 and 6 would be beyond worthless.
8. Optimism - Another driving force (in fact, it encompasses my name and my mission in life), which I unfortunately am losing bit by painful bit ... to jadedness, cynicism, depression and pessimism. I guess the grass is still green in my yard.

... Gosh I hope I'm missing nothing out.

Happy New Year!

Rest In Peace, Camille Ilustre (+ November 2003)

Girl, you shouldn't have killed yourself over that guy. After all, most guys are scumbags. Maybe you can avenge yourself on him on some other way? ^_^;

Has anyone signed on the Flooble Tagboard yet?

Just checking...

This blasted code is PISSING ME OFF!!! >_<

Stupid Flooble, I tried to attach its mini-tagboard to my other blog's main template as the site instructed ... AND NOW IT'S SCREWED!!! ALL my posts can't be read anymore!!! >__________________< Anak ng puta!!!

(Of course, that makes ME stupid too for believing them ... *SIGH* ;_;)

*threatens tar and feathers on Flooble for screwing with Ligaya's blog*

Here's hoping it shows up HERE ... I'm pasting the code into this post as a last-ditch resort to see if it works...

[FLOOBLE TAG CODE MOVED]

BLOGGING HELP (technical stuffs)

Guys, does anyone know how to turn the pages into frames? And can someone please help me out with the tagboards? After some serious thought I've finally decided to add a tagboard to my blogs, where I can expect instant feedback (now there's a word... XD) about anything right down to the layouts. However, since the older blog has less space and a huge guestbook with it, I thought it better to add the tagboard HERE. So please peeps, gimme a holler! (You may use the guestbook found on the other blog for comments, suggestions, etc.) Thank heaps!

New Quiz

In my past life, I was ROYALTY.

See what your past life was like @ Pink Tigress!



-> Hah. I figured as much. XD

Blah!

Bloody crap, my other blog's DOWN, and I can't fix the font for this one so that the links at the sides aren't so huge and distracting!!! >____________< ::angry::
At least there are more links up now... -_-; Lecheng Blogspot! Why is it that whatever site/group/board I join in, I always have posting problems of sorts?! >_____________________< ::VERY angry::

More additions...

...To the blogs section, that is. ^_^v Not a lot though, since for some reason I can't find the URLs of the blogs of ALL my acquaintances and friends (how sad! ;_;).

I wonder how Fête de la Musique went...

I'm alone at home, since everyone else went to the Fête...

SHOUTOUT: MANY HAPPY RETURNS TO LIA THE SHEEP, WHO IS CELEBRATING HER DEBUT THIS WEEKEND!!! \^o^/ Your party ROCKED girl, love you!!! ^.~v
And THANKS TO KONEKO FOR FETCHING ME ON THE WAY TO LIA'S AND FOR DANCING WITH ME TODAY!!! You go Koneko!!! Whoo! XD

Updates...

Well, the layout looks a little cleaner now, and I've added some of the blogs of my friends (they come before the Links section to your LEFT). ^_^ Hell, even the computer now has more than 400 MB of free space now, YAYNESS!!! XD Unfortunately, my computer's going nuts for some stupid reason so it'll be a while before i update AGAIN... >_<

Oh-kay...

First, a correction - I've only put up QUIZ links, not the blog links. I still have to gather them all first. Please be patient. ^_^;;;

My new post (dated today) isn't being published in my other blog for some reason... >_< What gives?! Anak ng... *starts muttering expletives in as many languages as she can*

Update...

Okay, the links are up at the LEFT of these posts. ^_^ Enjoy!

Announcement!
