Two things to say:


1. My body is freakin' aching!!!! Played volleyball yesterday after a long while of not playing. Didn't warm up and hadn't been exercising the past days so, yeah, what did I expect????

2. One roommate talked about her pathetic lovelife again. Over and over and over, she complains about her cheating boyfriend. Over and over and over, she asks me what to do. Sometimes, I just tell her not to tell me anything anymore. In my exasperation, I asked her, "What was your childhood trauma?!!!"

Yeah, evil of me, but after how many years of putting up with her nonsensical love journeys, years of her letting men abuse her emotions, I have no one to blame...Good thing she didn't know what I meant by childhood trauma...But she keeps asking me because she knows I tell it as it is. After all, she never really listens, grrr!!!!

  3. Had a good friend like that.
    Always crying to me saying how she's afraid one day her then bf would hit her. Don't really understand why the hell she still wishes to stick with him.

    She's pretty. He resembles a member of the ape family.
    In the end... she stuck to him all the way till he dumped her saying she was too clingly...
    *exasperated sigh*

  4. geee... probably a poor gal in need of some TLC from pple around her... I guess... or, an attention-seeker who adores the sound of her own voice c".)

    haha... I've always accorded my pals my fullest attn when they speak to me but, for my sanity's sake, i've learnt to dispense my attention selectively... look sympathetically, nod thoughtfully, then look away, at other pple in the group, your mobile, your watch or anywhere else.. .then move!!!! ;)

  5. Well, I'm sad to hear about ur roommate. No offense to all, but the irony of it in my spiritual life is that maybe God is hearing the same prayers again and again. Probably calling His name several times in a sentence. I probably wasn't aware of it until I read your post. Though he spoke and answers, the same thank you and the same grace I say every now and then.

    Anyways, those little muscles of yours were sure got the streching it needs.

  6. 1. Volleyball -

    It was some work-out. Just played another round today and we were only eight in all so the game was a bit harder. I'm actually not supposed to be playing with them anymore. Last year, I joined the administration team and we were lucky enough to win third against students from different colleges. But now that I've resigned, I can't really join except during practices. I've been asked to because I play well enough and hard. Good for them so they can practice better, good for me because I'm really in need of exercise!!!!

    2. Roommate's Love Troubles -

    Yeah, what can I do but to listen everytime? I really want "A"(her)to actually listen. It's just she asks for solutions, but when you tell her, she replies, "You just don't know because you're not me. I love him very, very much..." So, you know, I told her, "Why? Do I need to experience it to know? And since you've accepted his cheating ways, as you admit now, then it's all up to you. You accept it, then live with it. If you don't want to live with it, leave the relationship. Don't complain that he doesn't have time for you anymore."

    I was just talking to another roommate this afternoon and "J." has the same opinions as I do. We're really getting tired of all her complaints. Our former other roommate, "B", even called the guy up last Christmas when he hurt "A" on that day and he got a lot of bashing. "J" says if "B" finds out that "A" has gone back to the B.F., she's really going to be mad...See? We care, and we try to help, but how can you help someone like that? I really dunno and I'm running out of ideas.

    To Jon L., you are so right. But I'm not God. I wish I were. That sounds blasphemous, but I hope you get what I mean...
