Today is All Souls' Day

Today is All Souls' Day. A lovely reminder that one day, we shall all die. And when that happens, we will leave all the miseries of this world and live the life that we were meant to live--eternal life, with which comes eternal hapiness. Or at least I'd like to believe so.

Today's piece of trivia: Remember the yard guy Marissa had an affair with in The OC Season 2? Well, Jesse Metcalfe, tried out for that role, but he didn't get in. Instead, he got the role of John, the yard guy desperate housewife Gabrielle has an affair with. :) Galing noh! Imagine if he did get the first role he auditioned for. Sayang!

One week and a half left before I go back to school. I really don't want to. I'm not sick of not going to school yet. I still have a lot of things to do. Like finish "Lost" Season 2. And go to Makati Med to have, well, something done. And lose weight. But most of all, I still have to finish rereading HP and the Goblet of Fire before the movie comes out.

Wheeeeeee. I'm so excited. Can't wait! (for Harry Potter, not school)

40,000 thoughts running through my head

Tonight I can write the saddest lines... my parents have locked the door to their room with the precious sleeping pills. So now I stay awake. Wide awake. And outside the rain is pouring.

But it's okay! Because I am in a good mood! In a good, thinking mood! I'm excited to spend Halloween with my family and little cousins--especially Cheska, the epitome of cuteness.

Aww...cutie pie.

I took this from wikipedia. They really got everything there!

Unrequited love is love that is not reciprocated, even though reciprocation is desired. This can lead to feelings such as depression, anxiety, and mood swings such as swift changes between depression and euphoria. The experience of being in unrequited love is often one of limerence. Unrequited love can result in obsessive behaviour or transform into hostility to the object of desire (emotional rejection), leading to behaviour such as stalking. This has often caused the afflicted person to be further victimised by name-calling (such as "pervert"). However, unrequited love has also been the inspiration for and topic of many great works of art. Although being in unrequited love can be a torture, it can simultaneously be a source of great joy, and even provide the lover a sense of satisfaction at having somebody to love, even though that love is not returned. This may be seen as "worth" the emotional duress.Although unrequited love can last a very long time -- many years, or even decades -- the lover's feelings usually reach a breaking point as they continue to deepen. The love typically ends either when the lover receives reciprocation from the loved (consummation), such feelings subsides (starvation), acknowledgement that their feelings will never be returned leading to suicide, or the person channels their devotion towards another, more reciprocative, object (transformation).

Around the same time, poet Abraham Cowley writes of the emotion (Anacreon, vii. Gold.):

"A mighty pain to love it is,
And 'tis a pain that pain to miss;
But of all pains, the greatest pain
It is to love, but love in vain."

And then, of course, there is Charles Schultz; his Peanuts character Charlie Brown suffers from unrequited love for the Little Red-Haired Girl, and Brown famously notes in one strip:

"Nothing quite takes the taste out of peanut butter like unrequited love."

Obsessed Completely

With regards to my attempts in engaging in a technological detox, I have failed miserably. (understatement) My obsession for television has certainly risen to great heights for I find myself constantly downloading episodes of "Lost," (and about to download "Friends" season 10) I have finished watching the OC season 2 as well, and currently, I am in episode 7 of Desperate Housewives.

I really don't know what to do with myself anymore. Sembreak has caused me to be at the peak of my bum-dom. I should probably go to TV-rehab if there's such a thing. Yes, it's that bad that I've been totally M.I.A. with the rest of the world. Anyway... I just hope I'm responsible enough not to let this follow through to the next sem.

Congratulations! You are Bree Van De Kamp, the Martha Stewart on steroids, whose family is about to mutiny.
Which Desperate Housewife are you?
