while i was mourning the marriage of reese witherspoon and ryan philippe (really, is nothing sacred in hollywood anymore? not even LOVE???), everyone's favorite guilty pleasure turned the tables and made my day.

FINALLY! A DIVORCE!

girl finally got her senses back.

there are bad break-ups, and there are good break-ups. this, my friends, is the BEST break-up ever.

You're a girl
Rising from a shell
Running through spring
With summer's hand in reach now
It is your time
It is your time
So just run with ribbons undone
It is your time yes my angel
It is your time
So just run with ribbons undone

Run run darlin'
Ribbons undone.

    -- Tori Amos, Ribbons Undone

And Speaking of Ribbons...

When I was a kid, my daddy and I used to pretend that ribbons would fall from our ceiling so we could use them to get up from bed. I would always pick a yellow ribbon to help me up. In a magical way, getting up with that ribbon always made me start my day with a happy spring in my step.

I think I need my yellow ribbon now.

this ad is just brilliant. beautiful, perfect.
it inspired me to be a lot of things.
it reminded of the days when i was really and truly inspired.
and it made my resolve so much stronger.
i'm not allowing myself to be held down by crap.
i'm not allowing my morals to be obliterated.
i am not going to be someone's robot.
i will not depend on anyone's affirmation to make me feel good.
i will not strive to do good just because i'm scared of your ridicule.
i will strive to do good, because i want to.
i choose to be free.

i choose to be human.

i almost lost it tonight.
i was a mess, didn't know what to do.
my heart still beats -- rapidly.
my hands are clammy, my mouth dry.
was i in a rage?

no.

i felt so helpless.
not knowing what to do.
not knowing how
to clear up the mess.
i felt so frustrated.
unable to move.
unable to speak.
i stood by the side,
letting it ram into me.
until i sat down,
weathered,
beaten.
and that's when i knew,
that it was truly gone.

...sadder than sad...blahblahblah.

of course i'm bummed out! the season started off perfectly, and now we lost the title. sheesh.

my thoughts on UST's win here.

*yes, i have yet again opened up another blog. hehe adik!!!

anyway, i'll get over this. carry on, folks.

while at the mall looking for some decent nail polish, i chanced upon a new brand,


Yes, i'm serious. Wait 'til you see the names for the different colors.

Needless to say, I was laughing my head off while reading the studies. and for your entertainment, i took the liberty of writing down the names:

1. johnlloyd blues
2. coal-lin farrell
3. diether o' copper
4. mark herrust
5. johnny deep red
6. sam milky
7. antonio lavenderas
8. jericho rose
9. brad pink
10. piolo pastel
11. james yam
12. orlando blue

obviously those who thought of this were high on the nail polish fumes.

Put numbers in the boxes instead of x's (ex. 1,2,3,4,).
