The Ocean of My Being

In my entry before the last one, I mentioned that something really weird happened some nights ago. I also said I'll be writing about it as soon as I get out of the "trance" I was in and get my thoughts together. Well, I think that time has come. Here's the story of the night... It was Friday night (the 11th). I went back to my room really late after some reading, writing and cat-purring at one of the study areas of the International Center (dorm I'm currently staying at). My alarm clock said it was about half past midnight. Upon seeing that my Nagamese (from Nagaland in India) roommate was fast asleep, I turned the lights off. I said my prayers and got in bed. Just as I was halfway to dreamland, my roommate stirred. Half-awake, I saw her get out of bed and walk out of the room. Soon, I heard her knocking on her Filipina best friend's door and calling out the best friend's name. I didn't mind her because I thought they had plans to study late.

I was tagged by the APO Jim . *screams* Hehehe:) Random 10 1) Sekai Ni Hitotsu Dake No Hana (SMAP) -This is my favorite Japanese pop song. Who cares if it's been playing absolutely everywhere in Japan for the past two years already?!! I looove it and I like what it says, especially the last two lines. Number 1 ni naranakute mo ii Motomoto tokubetsu na only one (It's okay not to be number one because we are all unique, only one.) Sachiko-san, is my translation right? :) 2) I Believe I Can Fly (R. Kelly) -This song never fails to lift my spirits up when I'm down. 3) On My Own (from Les Miserables) -I've always loved this song. It always makes me want to cry. 4) The Way (Fastball) -I love this song not only because of its catchy tune (that always makes me want to sing along), but because of the story it tells. 5) Ewan (APO Hiking Society) -SSEAYP Philippine National Song!!! 6) Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo De Xin (Teresa Teng) -This is my favorite Chinese song.

1. Grab the nearest book. 2. Open the book to page 123. 3. Find the fifth sentence. 4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions. 5. Don't search around and look for the "coolest" book you can find. Do what's actually next you. It was warm, the water. from Arundhati Roy's "The God of Small Things". ********** I feel soooo weak I can barely keep my eyes open (an effect of some medication I'm taking)! Something really weird happened the night before last night. I'll write about it as soon as I get out of this "trance" I'm in right now and get my thoughts together. Right now, I need to relax. *Yaaaaawn* Zzzzzzz...

Today is a very special day. Three very important occasions/events fall on this same day. To my fellow Muslims: HAPPY AMON JADID (Muslim New Year) !!! To our Chinese brothers and sisters: XIN NIEN KUAI LE. GONG XI FA CAI!!! To our Catholic brothers and sisters: Uhm, I don't know if there's a greeting for ASH WEDNESDAY or if I should be greeting you, guys, at all. But, I know that this is an important day for you, too. From dust to dust... :) ******** I'm feeling great. Life is good! Life is good! Life is good! That has been my mantra these past days. Reapeating it to myself over and over again does me real good! :)
