Rob came later that night along with his friends who wanted to greet me personally. Aww. Thanks. :)

..that this is what we need.
..that this is for both of us.
..that this is for you.
..that this is for me.
..that this might mean an end, but it would also be a beginning.
..that this is the farthest that I can get.
..that this is how I will show you that I do love you.
..that this is for us to grow.
..that this does not mean that I stopped loving you. 
..that this meant you and me having to deal and fix our lives separately.

It's an irony how we were able to surpass the chaotic, screaming, intensely emotional moments without breaking up and yet here we are, in the absence of chaos, jealousy, screams and drama, bidding goodbye to what we thought would be eternally ours. The great realization that people need to grow on their own especially if the other person isn't bringing out the best in you is what brought us here. We need to focus not only on the "us" but also in things and people that surround us. Acceptance is the key. And this is not easy for me. This would be hard as hell for me as it is for you but this is what would make us who we ought to be. I need to find myself. You need to find yourself too. Maybe in the process, who knows, we'll find each other again. But for now, It is you & me and not US. Just you and just me. The loving hasn't stopped and it will continuously go on - that I am certain. I love you, Rob. ♥ You will always have my heart.

blackberry failure

My phone died. I don't know how and why but it just did. I saw it lifeless, attached to it's charger and unresponsive since then. I'm very sad about it since I downloaded new themes for it and fonts and I'm the kind of person who gets really excited about these kinds of stuffs. :( I haven't had the chance to enjoy those new downloaded stuffs. Haay. And I found an online site where I could finally buy an angel case which I have been lusting for months already. It's such an irony to find it on a day when my blackberry died. Anyway. I'm just waiting for money from my father so I could bring my blackberry to someone who could fix it! huhu. I feel so disconnected to the world. save me!! :(

the end of the term & the start of a month

I've been away from blogging for so long that I didn't know blogger changed their look. :) I'd like to believe that I've been so busy with school and personal drama that I wasn't able to blog (or temporarily lost interest in it).
Tonight, I was able to harvest the fruits of my hardships.

This is an evidence that I, indeed was busy with school. :)

Tomorrow will be grade consultation day. I'm not sure if I wanted to go because I am already a Dean's lister with this grade and I don't think there has been any miscalculations with the grades.

Anyway, aside from school, I've been busy preparing myself for a lot of things. I've been planning a lot. Independence is one. I'm really of age, as it seems, to be on my own. The only problem is that one, I am still studying and two, I don't have a job, a stable job, that is. Oh the life of a girl like me! I don't know what it is with me. Why do I always want to push myself to the limits. It's not a bad thing but it's not always good. Me & my confused state of mind. Haha. I am off to sleep now. Maybe that's what I need. You can follow me on twitter cause I've been actively tweeting now ( http://twitter.com/jjoyceang ) xoxo. ♥
