Grave Expectations by Sarah Chickens

Sigh. Well, that went well. I know you probably think by now that I have worse moodswings than half of the people in my country. I'm not one to deny the obvious so I'm just going go out of my way to sulk, wallow and probably hide in some hole right now. Au revoir, tous les monde!

What exactly happened? Easy answer. The inevitable. Hmm as you know a certain couple in my family is getting hitched and I'm supposed to make the invites in exchange for something in my wishlist. Correction! The ONLY item in my wishlist. I thought we'd talked about it and I convinced myself into believing that delusion. Only to have that delusion hit me right in the face, ruining my face and shattering my hopes (the face part was a figure of speech but the hope part I kid you not)

I was fancying them invites to be nothing less than unscrutinizable even to those who have meticulous eyes to detail. I kept mentioning said member of wishlist and mother avoided the topic endlessly until I, finalement, manage to get it out of her. It wasn't happening, what I wanted. In my forlorn solitude, I Patrick Haywarded on- -goodness not them- -myself.

Wells. I dont blame them. I blame myself. My heart is shattered, but its all my fault because I got my hopes up too high. I dont want that many things in life. I'm not sure about things. I talk about traveling but I'm not even sure where I'm going to go. Rarely do I give myself to certainty. If I could help it, I wouldn't have given myself over. Gah, this oddly sounds like a sappy love story. Perhaps Patrick Hayward and I are related. Perish the thought! I wouldn't have chosen what he chose in the end though. Gah I'm disappointed of how the Patrick Chronicles ended. Less dramatic than what I feel right now but since we're talking about despair at the moment...

Well I wont be bothering you guys any more than I already have tonight. Must retire for the night, bonne nuit!

BUT BEFORE I GO. I'm sharing a perfectly unrelated Patrick Hayward. When Joseph tried to cleanse Pat from his 'stack of socks that have been fermenting in a jar of formaldehyde' smelling self-->
Nevermind that we were both fully clothed, or that I was showering with my adult brother. . . this is so wrong on so many levels.

P.S
Perhaps you're wondering if I would continue making the invites. Yes since I'm 3/4 done and I love my family even in my Patrick mode. But even while he sulked, he loved his family despite the circumstances. Hmm perhaps we really arn't too different, Pat and I. So yeah. I would have a different kind of joy, hopefully it will satiate the void that its predecessor left. How dramatic.

P.P.S
Title is pun intended! (needless to say)

----
Everything's fine and I've let go. Because this is really immature, to get all that worked up for a single thing. I'm not even that materialistic. Or at least I think so.

BON DIEU! RESPIRE PAS SI FORT! *dies*

Okay, Why so overdramatic? Well I just feel like posting overdramatic random stuff today, so deal with me. Hmm.. is it that time of the month? Non, non, non. It's a different time of the month! A time of the month where I ran around being so pleased and ecstatic and totally unmanageable (good thing the sane parent and sisters are gone, they would have whacked my head by now).

Oh by the way I'm going to randomly tell you about the randomly occurring thought I get whenever my grandmother visits. (she is, by the way, here at the moment). Well it was a month ago that I realize how much I connect with my grandmama. I started singing You Don't Know Me by Ray Charles and she sang along. THAT made my day! It got me screaming in glee and waltzing my beautiful grandmama around the house because I was so ran over with happiness that I couldn't contain it. Aside from that, we sang alot of Frankie S., Dean Martin and Doris. Yes, I admit it. I love crooners, TCM and everything 1930-50s. In big bold letters. Ack, fine. Saying that is kindof an understatement but I'm not forcing you to get what I feel right now. I get some kind of hormonal rush when I listen to old songs and to hear someone in my household sing it with me, I get that happy feeling in the pits of my diaphragm. K to the B. Kilig to the beeswhackin' bones!


Onto other random things.


I saw this video on youtube and to say that I loled is the biggest understatement of the century. As you might have read if you'd bothered to read the post below, I finished Graceling yesterday and had a sudden impulse to youtube (verb) the book trailer. And this is what I found. How delightful!

POST POST.

Why hello there wonderful people of the internet! Has it been a day? How are you and your beautiful, happy selves? Why am I typing like a shamefully optimistic madwoman in the world? Well for one, I'm happy that I'm finally a nonslave of school and that I was able to finish three books today. Well I started reading Fissure by Nicole Williams two weeks ago but because of the book diet I put myself on (not to mention stuck through), I was held from it until yesternight. I resumed from page 49 and read til a minute before midnight and continued the morning after. When I finished that, I immediately moved onto the sequel Fusion. I was appalled that the author wrote a 136 page sequel to a 236 page start.


 So I managed that quickly and read my third book for that day, Graceling

I had mixed emotions for that book and all about it you could read in my book review blog (if I just come around to review all three books in one day--but I'm feeling extremely lazy at the moment).


Anywho, I finished them books at around half past five in the afternoon and shamelessly  ran (literally because no one was home) to shower before going to church for our weekly intercessory meet. Well that was my day, hope yours was as interesting as mine!

Verses for Weddings


Hey ~ My mom and dad's getting married. LOL. I know that sounds absurd so I'm gonna rephrase that. My mom's going to get married to my stepdad this October. The funny thing is, everything's done in like... almost a whim. Okay, they've been engaged for more than three yrs and has been together for six but... The wedding wasn't all that expected to happen this year, this month, right here. But anyway, it's happening and my mom's given me the role of the maid of horror honor and additionally, I'm supposed to make the invites. I'm trying to get my mother to say yes to "Save the date!" instead of some other corny line like "you are cordially invited to..." No answer from her yet. So for the meantime the only progress I can make is with the verses. 


There are a bunch of matrimonial verses in the Bible but I've decided to narrow my options down to five:

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 1 John 4:7
Love knows no limit to its endurance
no end to its trust,
Love still stands
when all else has fallen.

1 Corinthians 13:7-8
For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh. Ephesians 5:31
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11
And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. Colossians 3:14
my mother's ring. dad. mom.

Boracay 2012


This isn't really recent. T'was a week into classes when I should've gone to school instead of an extended vacation. But yeah, REBELS. Hahaha! but my purpose for posting this up is... I just wanted to uhh... reminisce? I guess, for the mean time. Boracay's an awesome way to hang out (especially with this huge of a crowd). Had great family and friends bonding moments. I would post more pics but I'm lazy. Muhahaha. I thank God for providing us the time and the finances to thrive! I cant help praise the Big Guy up There for the awesome things He created! So yeah, I think its fitting if I call this an opportunity to praise God for the beautiful Earth He created instead of a vacation.

I was with my family, our pastors and their families and yeah. Was it awesome? it definitely was! It's my third time on the island but what made this trip extra special was that I was with one crazy crowd. I'm definitely challenging you to plan a trip like this if you haven't tried it. You won't regret it! (but of course, I hope it wont be at the expense of anyone missing their first week of classes. that would be a ridiculously sad downer ;D)

Meanwhile, anyone else been there? What did you like about it?
