It's craaaazy how life can turn 360 in a day.
I just finished packing for KK tomorrow. This year we're spending christmas there. Super! -_- I am of course being sacrcastic but it's not like it's any better spending christmas here due to some recent unfortunate events that had occured while me and my family were away. Boy, life sometimes just smacks you in the face. KK is great and all but then soo much cousins, auntieas and uncle. I mean i am okay with some.. It's the others that is soo totally akward....
I told my Dad this year I just want dinner and a trip to the zoo or movie....
No big gatherings
She has always been super observant especially with me so i guess she noticed that when we were walking around in the mall that she was the only one checking out boys . We sat in Starbucks and she asked me " Is it because you have a boyfriens?" I was like "huh??" with that what are you going on about women face...... " I usually have to practically repeat myself a million times before you get me cause your always busy oogling" .. I laughed and told her no it's not cause of that and i'm just not into oogling anymore. And being the friend that she is she decides to go all psychology on me... She knows how hard it is for me to open up.
She always said that I present myself like an open book but then the pages are all filled with gibberish cause turns out that book was wrong and there's actually another book hidden somewhere. She gets soo worried about me. So after filling her in on my 18 months of my personal life in college she freaked and said that I needed to be comitted and it must be with a normal guy. Which then she added " you know.. I know alot of normal guys".... Pfft I'm not going down that road mister.... I told her that even so I'll probably screw it up cause he wouldn't understand how i work... Boy! Was that a mistake.. Cause she gave me a lecture about how i expect too much from someone and how is someone suppose to understand you when you don't let anyone in.. Here's the part that was like a slap on my face " not everyone is like your ex Debra" ... When she said that my face just changed.. What the hell was that foor?? .. So to shut her up and not get another lecture about how I have opening up issues and how every guy is not my ex i told her I'll try ... "Okay. That's all i wanted to hear.."
This was how the convo went
Her >" I just wanna know Debra... We've been apart for soo long" .... "
me >"I don't know.. I guess maybe".
Her > "How do you not know? I'm taking that as a yes"
me > "okay okay... Geeeezz.... Yes..."
Her > "Soo what's going on there"
me > " Nothing la... War and Peace ( That's our codeword) .. Plus I'm happy just aimlessly drifting"
Her > "You've been aimlessly drifting for years now ". \
me > "I told you i'll try now.. What do you want me to do? Date the next guy that comes around"
Her > "No, but don't expect to meet the young version of Edward Furlong , you know how you always expecting people to be deep"
CAUSE SHE only like REPEATED THE QUESTIONS A MILLION TIMES!
Her > " Ohh Debra.. Why can't you be boring... I swear your fear of being the same will be the end of you"
Then that was the end of that. I then diverted the topic to her. Turns out she the same old Christina i knew back then. This is why she's giving me sooo much heat. She's the kind that never stays single. Yeah, today she's in love with bob. Then bob breaks up, cry cry cry tomorrow there's tim. She's so in love with tim now... I guess i don't blame her.. She just doesn't get how i tick even back then .... But minus the boy talk i really did miss her. She was always so fun to chill with... She so craazy :P hahaha.. After coffee we said our goodbyes and decide we should do this more often. I said yeah... Just call me when your in town again :) I meant it of course...
On a much lighter note.
We went and shop for presents.... It was all and all a very happy day.... Cause it was all family :)
I think my dad is sick of me :) ahhahaahahaha......
much love

Dex
It's been a while since I blog.
Life has pretty much been a huge roller coaster ride for me lately. But I'm glad things are toning down and hopefully I'll be in a saner place soon cause it seems like my mind is my worst enemy now.
My moods have been really messed up. I think right now I just need to sit in a corner with my Ipod and just blank out for abit. I've been walking around daydreaming, as in while I'm walking my mind is dreaming about something else. That means that I'm distracting myself from thinking about something or someone. It's a really bad habit, I'd space all the time even when I'm talking to someone and I do it everywhere regardless of the amount of people present. It's really unhealthy. I need to deal with reality.
Besides the Genting trip something super extra ordinary happened today.
Dex called.
Dex was this guy i had a major crush on back on the day. He was the typical guy I'd fall for. Melancholic, a lil bit akward, tortured and undefinable. He also plays the guitar. He had eyes that could I swear melted you when he look at you. It was this bluish greyish colour that was so defined cause he dyed his hair a darker colour than what he naturally had. Whenever I talk to him before I just couldn't look at him in the eye because I knew I would panic or stutter , so I'd avoid any or all eye contact with him. Finally one day, he came up to me and asked me " so are u always so akward when you talk to people or only just me?". I was stunt . He just laughed. So we became friends and I discovered he had a major awesome cd collection so I'd go over and listen to them and just chill. I think he was one of the only people that could ever get how i think and understand what i mean about things. I eventually got over my crush cause we were just too close
Anyways, the reason why him calling was such an extra ordinary event was because what happened the last time we meet up to hang. I was on my sem break and was back home. I was over at his place catching up with him.... Well, actually i was just ranting about how dramatic college was for me. He just listened. Then he said "I guess this is where the alcohol comes in" and he brought out the bottles. His friends came over and we started playing drinking games and then started to challenge each other to take shots. I woke up the next day with a major headache and a blank mind. The first thing out of my mouth was "SHIT!"... I was trying to remember what happened but then all I could remember was laughing at Dex and calling him lame. He was asleep beside me. He was like dead. So I went to the kitchen to get water and racking my brain trying to remember. Then like a burst of lighting, it hit me. I suddenly remembered something..... At that point all I could say was shit shit shit.... Why!....
I'm an akward person by nature.
When he woke up, I couldn't even look at him. I just watch tv. I of course tried my best to act normal but failed. I couldn't talk to him. So there was just silence. Finally, I guess he got pissed and he came up to me and said "only talk to me when your ready to talk about it".. After that i went home cause I was angry at the fact he said that and why should i start the topic. I know i have major ego issues. I don't really open up much..... Yeah so pretty much after that I avoided him...
When he called i didn't know if I should pick up. But i decided to suck it up and just pick up. We talked for like hours. And then he asked to meet up... I of course dying to see those eyes of his said yes.Then we joked about how I'd make things akward .... Before putting down the phone he said " I think you've had enough time to get ready"... I panic and put down the phone.

The LIST
:D
"i believe the perfect match is out there for all of us. And yes, i have a list of things I'm looking for.(Don't you?)"
Secondly, sense of humour is a must.
Thirdly, this guy is spontaneous and rebellious. Yes, i have a thing for dominant guy.
Which leads to the fourth and most important criteria "an ALPHA male".
Fifth is the fact that he has to be nice which from my experience clashes with the whole alpha male bit.
Sixth is the fact and now this is also an important factor to me , to be STRAIGHT FORWARD. I hate the whole i have to guess thing. You tell me what you want cause i as hell won't guess it.
And lastly, well this is not a must but a plus if that person does posses it plays a musical instument, sings or is in a band.
In my mind i was FUCK the list.
But i am too guilty of being a victim of the list.
However, the guys that i have dated or have been casually dating with fell short of somethings on the list.
They didn't last, nor was it a good ending.
I am not saying that the list is bad. No no no.... I am saying far from that. Nor am i saying that we should all stick to our list.

BEFORE HOLLY
"There was Jenny. The one that hits you like a strong narcotic . Had virtually nothing in common. But i was smitten. HYPNOTISED. I would have done anything short of setting my eyebrows in fire to keep her and i still can't put my fingers on why."
"i am a chemistry willing victim. But if it can keep me with somebody so wrong for me, it can also keep me from someone really rright, helping us both get through rocky relationship every couple hits."

Love and Other Madness
LOVE
<3>
Who knew there was so much research on and definition of love? I have copied this from another site (meaning of life):
According to Rubin (1970), love has three components: (1) an affiliative and dependent need, (2) a predisposition to help, and (3) exclusiveness and absorption. Liking is more closely akin to friendship.
In his research, Wong has found that liking can be negatively related to passionate love ; in other words, you may be madly in love with someone you dislike, because your mind tells you that he or she is “bad news”, but your heart is still lovesick.
According to Tennov (1979), love is different from limerence. Love is mutual, and is characterized as a great affection and concern for the welfare of the beloved. Limerence, on the other hand, is passionate love gone wild. It begins with a spark of interest, and under appropriate conditions, can grow into enormous intensity. Limerence is a state of cognitive obsession, an unrealistic hope of reciprocation. A tiny bit of reciprocation, whether motivated by pity or vanity, will result in feelings of euphoria, which inevitably turn to despair and misery. However, limerence can grow into love, when it is completed fulfilled.
Peele and Brodsky (1975) also differentiate between addictive love and genuine love. Addictive love occurs when a person is totally absorbed in the love object in order to escape from an otherwise meaningless and unhappy existence. Such obsession distracts from a person’s ability to pay attention to important aspects of his or her life. Prolonged separation or termination of the relationship can cause “withdrawal symptoms” similar to those of a drug addict.
Lee (1973) has developed a typology consisting of six types of love: (1) Eros, where the lovers search for someone with specific physical characteristics; (2) pragma, where potential love-objects are rationally considered; (3) agape, where the person loves without expectation of reciprocation; (4) ludus, where love is treated as agape; (5) storage, which is similar to compassionate love, and (6) mania, which is similar to addiction love, characterized by cognitive obsession as well as emotional peaks and valleys.
Sternberg (1986) views love as a triangular structure, consisting of three components: intimacy, passion and decision/commitment. Various combinations of these components result in eight kinds of love: (1) non-love (absence of the three components),(2) liking (intimacy in isolation), (3) infatuation (passion), (4) empty love (decision/commitment), (5) romantic love (passion and intimacy), (6) compassionate love (intimacy and decision/commitment), (7) fatuous love (passion and decision/commitment), and (8) consummate love (which includes all three components.)Literature, music and films are replete with themes of forlorn love.
Judging from newspaper advice columns, magazine articles and self-help books (i.e., Halpern, 1983; Phillips & Judd, 1978), the problem of unrequited love seems both serious and widespread. It is not surprising that popular interest in unrequited love has remained unabated, because more often than not people are not able to win the affection of the man or woman of their dream and suffer much as a result. When one’s love is not reciprocated, a host of negative reactions might follow. In extreme cases, a person may be driven to attempt suicide in order to escape the pain. However, even in milder cases unrequited love causes pain and may interfere with a person’s daily functioning. Unrequited love, as it is commonly known, involves situations in which one person passionately loves an unresponsive object.
Tennov (1979) has provided numerous examples of forlorn love. Lee’s (1973) manic lover and Hazan & Shaver’s (1987) anxious ambivalent lover also fall into this category. Each of these describes an intense craving for intimacy, an irresistible cognitive obsession with the love object, and prolonged sufferings caused by rejection and jealousy. The driving force is not sexual gratification, but reciprocation of romantic interest and devotion. We refer to this type of obsessive love as the Classic unrequited love.
Co-dependency is a term used to describe those people whose lives are completely intertwined with a drug/alcohol addict, such as a spouse or lover. The co-dependent identifies with their love object to the extent of losing his/her own identity. The needs and problems of the addict are taken on by the co-dependents as their own. The co-dependents choose to get stuck in a painful relationship, because of their neurotic need to be needed and their own insecurity. Thus, unlike classic unrequited love where the ultimate goal is union, the goal of the co-dependent is the fulfillment of a need to be needed, no matter how unloving and painful the relationship is.
Another kind of unrequited love is less intense, and more common-hence the term minor unrequited love. This type is characterized by one’s perception that one’s partner does not reciprocate one’s love to a similar degree. Minor unrequited love may be only a distorted perception or it may be an accurate portrayal of the situation. In either case, it may result in feelings of dissatisfaction and upset. Because it is a negative and potentially destructive experience, psychopathology may develop. Even minor unrequited love may cause marital breakdown and may adversely affect other areas of the person’s life. “
No shit.
It made me laugh for abit and i hope ya'll enjoy
much love
