There's a reason why women watch chick flicks: to swoon at "The Line." This is my latest discovery and I may consider this right up there with Bridget Jones's Diary's "I like you just as you are":
"I wanted to be part of the reason you were happy. I want to make you happy."
If I had been given the chance to edit the script, I would have changed the line to: "I want to be the reason you are happy." However, I do admit it sounds fatal attraction-ish so maybe the line is better off the way it was in the movie. HeHe.

Billing Cycle
My University of WA student internet access expired today. Although really, it should've expired six months ago upon graduation. Anyway, now I have to pay for internet access: my first monthly bill ever. Yes, I'm all grown up now. =P

The Good Stuff
I am always amazed at how nice people-that I have met online-are to me. Many of them never asked for anything in return prior to doing me a favor. From making me a graphic for a business presentation, "letting me borrow" computer programs for classes, providing me webspaces, sending me Little Twin Stars items, taking the time to counsel me at a text's notice, being my guinea pig for class projects, running around the whole campus to find me what I need for my internship, I can't say thank you enough for all these things, for never letting time and money get in the way of lending me a hand. I hope that each and every one of you know how grateful I am for the things you have done that meant so much to me.
I want to say a HUGE thank you today to Erwin for "bringing the Philippines to me" because he knew that I couldn't bring myself there for the holidays. I had my doubts, but you pulled through! I think more and more people these days are finding out that my happiness only costs P75. LoL. Again, thank you! I'm so "Lucky!" HaHa!

Trust In The Name of Love
I wish that someday when someone again says to me, "I like you" (in that way), I can finally say "I like you" back (provided that I really do like him), instead of doing one of the following: a) telling the other person to stop joking with me, b) running away in hopes of changing the other person's mind about me, or c) staying away from that person for life as if the other person just committed the most horrible crime by liking me.
People often say "Never stop loving" or "You'll never know unless you try," but for people who have been burned, are broken hearted, are bitter, are traumatized, trusting someone again is a hard thing to do. I know it's a lose-lose situation. If you don't give in to your feelings, you lose out, you feel like a cold-hearted person. If you give in, and you get played, then you lose also and you're miserable.
Wouldn't it be nice if guys simply just wore shirts that said, "I'll be horrible to you" or "I'll be good to you" each and every day? I swear, life would be so much easier. If ever I become the ruler of the world, I might just have to pass that into law. ;P
I don't often say good things about myself, but the one thing that I can say is that I'm a decent person. And I hope that God will eventually, in this lifetime, give me a decent person also. Hence, the "Why can't I find someone like me?" line from two days ago. Ahh, see, now you're getting it. ;P Kidding aside, I really do hope that good girls don't finish last in this world...and the same goes for good guys also.

Online Transmission
My first "first time" of the year: I booked a hotel room for the May wedding in Colorado. I did it online, too, so I feel all high-tech and stuff. HeHe.
But I'm still old-fashioned. Am I the only one who gets creeped out by the webcam and voice capabilities of Yahoo! Messenger? ICQ already had "voice" capabilities back in the day, but you weren't talking back and forth. You would record your voice first, then send it to the other person. Whereas in YM these days, your computer actually talks back to you! Then, there's the webcam function: whenever I see one, it always reminds me of The Correspondent's episode on mail-0rder brides from last year. Am I the only one, or do I need to stop watching that show every week? LoL.
Eeek, maybe this is just a sign that I've been online too long. "Back in the day" (circa 1996), all I had was a Mac with like a 13-inch screen, 2600 bps modem, AOL that was charging per hour, and a graphics viewer that would only let me see JPEGs and GIFs of a certain size. Goodness, I bet there's kids out there going "Modems went that slow?!" Shut up, kids. LoL.
