who on earth wrote the previous blog entries?! oops. must've been me. hehe. in my defense, i can only say i was literally sick during christmas. and a sick arianne is not a happy nor positive arianne. but now i'm healthy (albeit still phlegm-y...ewww gross!) and happy once again. why let certain people and events ruin your holiday season? i mean it's the people who do something bad or something bad that happens beyond your control so why should YOU feel bad about it, right? i figured that just because people are not necessarily always nice you have to NOT be nice, too nor should you let fortuitous events get you down.

moving on, i absolutely cannot wait til 2007! i know it's going to be haggard like anything but i'm quite optimistic about it. it's going to be a good year. i can feel it in my bones. i'm going to start taking muay thai again. and continue italian. and learn how to ballroom dance. and read all the books i've bought but haven't had the time to read. and learn AND do a zillion other things. i figured that the reason why i was down because of law was because i felt somewhat bored and restricted. then i realized that that i could actually study law AND do all these things i've been wanting to do. just have too up my multi-tasking skills. hehehe. and i'm at least going to ATTEMPT to indefinitely eliminate my procrastinating expertise.

though i can't believe how fast christmas break progressed. i was only home for christmas day, i think. the rest of the time was spent with friends and family. i cannot begin to stress how grateful i am for both my friends and family. despite my brattiness, craziness and inherent weirdness, they've put up with me and for that i really am thankful. i can't explain why but one morning during simbang gabi, it just struck me. i think it was because i was worried i couldn't seem to feel His presence in my life. then the thought just came that He is with me via my friends and family. it was His way of reminding me, i think.

some thought-provoking passages i read from St. Jose Maria Escriva's The Way:
596. Don't feel hurt when others see your faults. What should really distress you is the offense against God and the scandal you may give.
Apart from that, may you be known for what you are and despised. Don't be sorry if you have nothing because then Jesus will have to put everything into you.

359. Add a supernatural motive to your ordinary professional work and you will have sanctified it.

one last thing. can i just share? i hung out in the fort with my blockmate emma yesterday. it was the first time i ever finished a cocktail in my entire life. what happened next was not at all pretty. i literally heated up, my face got flushed, my eyes got red and watery, i had difficulty breathing, got a throbbing headache, and i later on found out that my back broke out into rashes. i've always had a weird reaction to alcohol but because that was probably the most alcohol i've ever had in my life, the side effects were magnified. i knew there was a reason why i stick to non-alcoholic beverages. anyway, i googled the drink i had (limon caipiroska). turns out it contains vodka, triple sec, lime wedges, sugar and lime juice. from now on, i stay away from the aforementioned. dangerous stuff although it did seem innocuous when i first took a sip. hehehe! :)

"I don't care if I never grow up
Don't want to shrink in a suit
Don't want live just to suck someones bones dry
I'd rather die."
