i'm also, losing it.

i'm never too far.

i can play fair - if i wanted to.

always down for anything.

forgetful, majority of the time.

dreamer.

hungry!

sure, i'd love to shadow you today!

wanna? let's!

curious.

happy bday jesus, 122509.

when i feel like being vague, i pay no attention to detail. i drift through the days, wandering around in my mind about the good times - instead of the "yes, a straight deposit" in front of me. I concentrate for a few seconds, then release. Back into my own world of bliss. "i can't wait to see you later!!" hypes my heart. =) Anyway, I'm getting paid. And some. And what.

now what.

2010 is just around the corner and i'm totally excited for what it has to bring. Somebody once told me that it's OK to be selfish sometimes. Focus on yourself. Do what is right for you; stop trying to make others happy because how can you make someone else happy if you're not happy yourself? (did you get that? haha). My cheryl-like character will unravel this upcoming year, i'll be taking more risks, more chances, and finally, i will get more questions answered.

The life of a curious 21 year old.. i'm fuckn Ready.

so happy early new years, everyone. there will definitely be more blogs to come, none of the norm - coz in my world there is no such thing as "normal". stay safe and try your best not to complain!

LOVE YOU GUYS MUAHMUAHMUAH XOXOXOXO

XD! ^_^ v ! >_< \m/ woot woot

resistance is futile

if i could somehow find the junction between a person's thoughts and what actually comes out of their mouth, i'd make a switch for it. I would be soooo rich by now, coz I could name a bajillion moments where switching it to Off would be the best answer in that given situation.

k im lazy to write the rest going to the mallzo with roach! =) it's been awhile since i was with my baby =D

kicks rocks... =T

HEY

behave yourselves

"call/txt me thnx ;)"

or just SEE ME IN PERSON SHEESH

GLAD to live in a growing generation of technology, methods of communication have never been so various than it is now. I just had a conversation with daddy on our car ride home from the grocery store about how nobody has human contact anymore. Everything is through facebook, twitter, text, blog, and for the businesses: linkedin. There's so many social-networking sites that I could add more, but those are the main ones. While listening to daddy talk about his view on this, all awhile I was (and dont get at me for this!) texting and not even looking at him! my ears perked up when i heard him talk about "communication" because i DO believe that communication is key in EVERY relationship no matter what type it is... and so my smartass said,

"well i'm communicating right now as we speak? thanks to technology i'm multitasking and communicating to 2 people at the same time"

then my conscience reminded me that i was being a complete hypocrite because i remember saying in a previous blog that multitasking reduces the quality of your outcome..

and with that being said, does that mean this generation has lost their quality?

perhaps.

i still believe in traditional etiquette, however. no cell phones at the table or while conversating one-on-one with someone.

i am such a hypocrite >_<. anywho, first step is to recognize it [check], second step: execute it. note to whoever i talk to: please feel free to remind me of this blog if i pull out my phone while talking to you. .... heh

and back to reality it is!

say whaa?

who?

me?
nahh.

i had no idea!

I WILL NOT COMPROMISE MY DREAMS JUST BECAUSE THE ECONOMY SUCKS RIGHT NOW

passionate

i'm currently still stuck in this identity-crisis stage of my life trying to figure out exactly what it is i'm passionate about. with a lifestyle where simplicity is key, i've become used to being plain jane that i've covered up what is unique about me. yes; i said "covered up". that means somewhere inside of me, or "under my cover", is something that hasn't emerged yet. [or shall i say, hasn't matured yet?] Either way, i'm not quite sure exactly what it is, where it is, how to find it, or how to bring it out but i'm verymuch determined at my 21years of age to find what makes me different! and THAT right there... has gotta be something that i'm passionate about.

what the heck could that be?!

-_-

slowly climbing up the ladder, i'll need a shitload of patience and determination. time is my motivation.. coz i'm only getting older by the second and things are moving by faster than they seem. [like my sister for instance]. =T.

dont bore me with your "be a nurse" crap.. please!

*rolls eyes*

[no offense to those trying to be a nurse]

anywho, take a look at these guys:

eyewriter.org

they've taken something that they were passionate about, [art, for example] and transformed it [with their ability to hack and use their own creativity] into something beneficial.. not only for the public, but to those who might not have everything in their life. i freakn love it.

so i guess you can say

i'm in search to find

what is mine

i've always wanted to..

me n my bestfriend cassandra used to always talk about going off to third-world countries to help the less fortunate and minister to them. but, we were thinking oh, maybe when we're in our late 20's or something.. and of course when the money in our pockets will be sufficient.

luckily, just this past sunday, my fellow churchmate Julian pointed out this ad in my church's newsletter.

my eyes lit up. a window of opportunity! i thought, perhaps this can finally turn into a reality! so i skimmed through the ad, and at the bottom i saw that there was a price tag.

[choke] quadruple digits. $$$$. before january 24th of 2010.

best to save now. asap.

-the question is.. is this doable? you know it. anything is possible. [thanks to phil.4:13].

-the factors are..

1) january comes after december, and in december there lies the holiday aka Christmas. Christmas gift$, will be deducted from this trip.

2) work. hours + amount spent on gas & food.. deducted as well.

3) school. o_o the 24th-31st of january happens to land on the second week of the new quarter. i could always email my teachers...

-yet consider the fact that i've saved enough for a brand new macbookpro, AND managed to get a new cell phone around the same time... it's like taking my motivation to the next level. india.

i'm down. seriously, down. i'm anxious to know what people have to say about this. it's a huge decision to make. and veryy far away from the u.s. any thoughts? insights? word of advice? warnings? requests?

btw,

paula white this friday! soooo excited =]

i will GLADLY take any donations towards my trip to hyderabad, india! make checks payable to Cheryl Baclit and/or give me a call and we can discuss financial arrangements. thank you all for your consideration and have a splendid night ;)

never done before

[sorry for the lag!]

we missed you sooo much. welcome back. =)

haha...

yes. this is a classroom.

heat + traffic = angry drivers

beauuuutifull

the pier

and of course, Carne Asada Fries. =]some famous pizza place

that had the most exquisite peanut-butter boner pizza ever!

"dtf"
"i'll take your suggestion"

*ahh* nighttime

outdoors
you gotta squint to see it
so, what's the point of a waitress?
i'm famous! [hah]
i like palm trees okay

then shortly after...

"i used to catch those with daddy when i was younger and we'd add it to the pond.. as pets"

new phones <3

uh.. lets get drunk at a museum?

a little disappointed they were stuffed, but i was more attracted to the aquarium..

(first 3 via blackberry)
the jellyfish were my favorite.
so basically we were lookin at animals with drinks in our hands hahagotta have a turtle just so you can get a visual, i can fit in it's stomach

security guard sneaked us some tix to the trippy planetarium^_^

long lasting

flavor. no matter how much gum we chew, none of them last forever. the flavor goes away.

(this was my favoriteee kind of gum as a kid)

take a simple object, like gum for example. you undergo a process while chewing it, yes? let me tell you what the process is.

1) chew to release flavor crystals hidden within

2) tastebuds dance in sync with the flow of saliva

3) flavor overload!

4) chew for granted

5) flavor fades...

6) spit out.

7) repeat or switch to gobstoppers.

yes THATS what happens when you chew gum. now relate that to your life. good bye

blowin in the right wind

i feel weird.

djtiesto's got me daydreaming. thinking. [no, i'm not on e. nor have i tried it]. a few conversations with people out of my norm got my brain thinking.. in the past few months, there's been a change. subconsciously, without my knowing. recently.. i'd wake up and feel soooo awkward. first thought that comes to my head is: "i think i'm maturing..."

dont laughhh >_<

i can already see you laughing through the screen. it's not that kind of maturing.. i meant like, i'm not as interested in certain things like i used to be? the things i used to pass, are now the things i love? like the taro root in my sinigang, for example. nom. ^_^. the things i used to love, are just.. plain to me. the more i've experienced, the more it's gonna take to hype me up. "oh, again? party and drinks? nahh but thanks tho". "but so-and-so is going and there's a dj and ...."

yea im not interested. boredom is my only motivation to go.

i guess this is another form of being spoiled. excessive indulgence has damaged the quality of my weekends. a different crowd sounds enticing.. but that takes time. i've tried it and it's almost like the same thing over again, just different faces.

i'm surprisingly chill about this whole deal. someone once said, "sounds like you're settling down". i guessss? if you put it that way its as if i'm old, wrinkly, and married?! hah, i'm neither of those. i believe there's a time and place for everything.

have you ever considered the fact that time IS on your side?

i'm content chillin alllll dayyy baby.

down for anything & everything life has to offer. =)

one day at a time.

never lose hope!

no seriously, keep the change.

PET PEEVE EPIPHANY
when people hand back your cash with the change on top

it's prone to falling! it's unstable! your attempt to multitask one-handedly has officially made the customer experience harder... now the customer has to balance the change to keep it from the rules of gravity, figure out a place to put the damn change, use the other hand to get the stuff that was purchased [not to mention the receipt], put their wallet back to it's habitat, AND walk off so the next person in line can go through the same confusing experience.

THANK YOU VISA/MASTERCARD/BLINK for making life so much easier!

CASH-ONLY PLACES
catch on with technology! stop trying to hide from taxes! it's making your environment a better place to live in!*

(*well, that was the intended idea of taxing.. i could comment more on that but i'll have to get back on that subject another day)

why was change even INVENTED?! wallets are now thicker in size because of the added coin purse embedded inside the wallet. it never holds all your change anyways, it almost always overflows!

the only exception is if the tip jar is in front of the register. then change on top of cash would make TOTAL sense. other than that...




"keep the change"

when you really want something...

you go and get it.= determination. [complete with snow leopard & a free itouch that i got engraved]

when calculating how many hours you have to work in order to Get what you want, of course you have to include the un/necessary factors such as gas, food, utilities, urges to shop, etc.. but when you really WANT something.. you've gotta make sacrifices. sort out your priorities, and put it into action. thank god. finally. i feel accomplished.

NEXT PROJECT!
