Hangin by a thread

My councilor told me that I should write this on my blog or something, he said that sometimes instead of writing about my stress events I should write about the things that I once hoped to happen for myself. so here's something about my past dreams....

"Libre lang mangarap" is a Filipino phrase that talks about the right and freedom of anyone to dream big. I'm already 20 and ever since I was small I had dreamed of a lot of things for myself.most of them were impossible dreams that any other child would make at a young age. and as time goes by dreams change and priorities are made, in our generation just being smart is not enough, one must also master how to be practical, how to properly approach issues at hand and many others.

so as I grew older and hopefully a bit wiser I try to look back on those dreams that I once made for myself and one dream surfaced above the others. it's the one where I told myself that once I graduate from college I will travel around the wold! not a tour kind of travel but a real travel! I will see all nooks and crannies of this planet and live a life dong nothing but learning. learning different cultures, different languages, different societies, all of it! it will be just me, my camera, laptop and mobile phone.

In fact I had already made plans for it, like selling the photos I've captured, play in bars and write in magazines for my expenses, I will rent a small livable place in every country and stay there for months to years and then leave once I've gathered enough knowledge on the said place, I'll make friends of different people of every race and then I'll move to another place and start telling stories of my experiences.

As i recall this dream i asked myself if I still want to fulfill this dream or let it rot back deep into the recesses of my mind  is it practical? would I really be able to live such life? won't I get tired? how about my family? would I even have one?

these are some of the questions that arose and a certain part of me is saying how I should hold on to it, and find a way to bring this dream into reality.it may not be practical but it would worth the shot.

Make Up

Make Up  by Wendy Anne L. Gambalan

Cool night air blew through an open window into a room that seemed so cold yet cozy, dimly lit by a small lamp by the dresser where a woman sits in front of a mirror.

She stares at her own reflection, a small proportioned face covered with powder, high cheek bones donned with pink blush on, with perfectly lined eyes and carefully drawn eyebrows, lips painted in a very alluring red color, her blond hair tied in the back with a few loose strands on the side of her face, she wears diamonds on her ears and neck, a very exquisite lime green dress hugs her slim body, perfectly fitting her petite form.

She looks absolutely beautiful and elegant, anyone would say so if they see her walk down the street. Many would assume that she must be living a very luxurious life, they would say she is happy and have no problems to deal with, her life must be perfect! Oh how wrong they are.

As the clock on her bedroom wall continues to tick, as she continues to sit there in front of the mirror silently staring at her reflection, she wonders in her mind "what an ugly creature she is" she pulls out several wet tissues and starts to remove the make up on her face.

She goes out every other night perfectly groomed, she meets up with different men and sometimes women then comes back at her home late at night or early morning and sits in front of her mirror and starts removing them again. A cycle, a routine, she doesn't remember how long she has been doing it but she doesn't care.

No one knows, the secrets that she hides beneath her gorgeous appearance. No one would think that when all the make up and the jewelry and pretty clothes have been removed there is nothing left but an empty shell of woman she used to be. No one knows about the scars that she hides, the pain that she endure, the tears that she cried every night, but that's just it no one knows.

She tried once to convey her feelings, her sufferings, but sadly no one listened, they all said that she was just exaggerating, that whatever she is feeling is nothing like all the men she had gone out with, nothing. for who would believe that the one they have dubbed as perfect is actually suffering depression. No one.

Pop

Pop

by Wendy Anne L. Gambalan

We are like bubbles we are made using the same solution  inserted in different containers molded in ways so unlike others

up in the air we go some big, some small some with shapes,  and some are clearer than the others

so different from one another but we travel with a purpose with the similar desire to fly higher than the others No idea of what's in store for tomorrow

But as we climb higher one thing is clear to us all we pop at the end of the road.

Molto Piacere! (Reposted)

A lovely anon requested better quality scans of this adorable doujinshi. I was planning on cleaning them and re-posting them anyway, so there you have it. 

Many of the pages didn’t come out as good as I wanted but hopefully they’re good enough. Feel free to edit them if you need to.

Rice Problem

I had a fight with my mother over rice.

You're probably wondering what's up right? well the rice became mushy and wet because I added too much water without thinking (yeah pretty stupid of me)

then my mom got angry and I understood why but what I don't understand is why does she have to be so angry about it?! It's not like I did it on purpose.

she started running her mouth nagging and all saying things like "You'll just add the right amount of water" or "We give you everything you need, and you can't add the right amount of water" blah blah blah... so I sat there silently taking every insult she throws at me but then I kinda got irritated and said "Fine I'll the whole thing burn" 

I know what I did was wrong, but something inside me just snapped and told me "Why do you have to take all that insult?" 

Then there I talked back she got angrier and my dad got himself in between us as my mom was about to attack me and I was about to retaliate (Yes I was going to retaliate, it's become my second nature.) 

What pissed me more was the fact that it was just a small issue! 

I'm not saying my mom is evil or anything like that or I'm the right one and that I was victim here or something like that... NO! I was wrong I admit that because I'm a sh*tty bastard with many issues.

On friday, I went to school in my Grell cosplay. On friday, I wanted to celebrate a fun day with some friends I met at a convention who are attempting to put on a nearly impossible show. On friday, I went to school expecting a few strange looks, confused questions, rude comments, and maybe even a few laughs.

What I didn’t expect was that I would be attacked by someone that I had never even seen before.
