PURPLE

Thursday, September 29th, 2005

Oh yes!  The splendid imperial color.  Royalty serves you in many mysterious form…coded as an intriguing color.  Associated with nobility and spirituality, the color has a worthy place in nature.  The orchids and violets alike are some of the flowers you would tremendously appreciate.  Even the sunset invites us to a romantic view of love affair, strangely beautiful for romance.

Purple are a mixture of strong warm and strong cool color that has both warm and cool properties.  It boost one’s imagination and creativity, and sometimes inflicts moodiness if added too much blue on Purple.  It was traditionally associated during the old times with royalty in many cultures and of diff. parts of the world.  But even though this highly trivial informations are of common knowledge, my fascination towards Purple is still unaffected.  Born to appreciate, and will relatively retire admiring it.

It strongly suggests riches, romance, very sentimental, and exquisitely tactful, so delicate that the
color Purple is greatly regarded as high precious stones that the royalty owns.  Even in India where the Purple color is hard to produce to dye their clothing can only be worn by noble people of great ranking superiority. 

Purple sometimes are perceived by others in both positive and negative aspects, might be remarkable, eye-catchingly unusual, and highly imaginative in concepts and writings for the good Purple.  But state of confusion, and colorful lies when fallen in the arena of Bad Purrrple = (
Geewhizzzz…

The color helps create physical reaction, that’s why it never made me want to change to
another….ever!  It’s the perfect representation of my personality.  Elaborate and regal…indeed.
A royal high ranking official that defines this magnificent dye.  As if i felt like having a lineage
from a royal family, visualizing how lavish their lifestyle, and extravagant activities they had
that i could only wish for.

(Finger snap!!!) Reality check…born with an unwavering smile and a temperamental psychological state, i was so inclined to Arts, swinging from Abstract to Concrete ideas.  Those pictorial representations that moulded me into visualizing strong ideas.  Thanks to my parents, they never interfere with the progress of my intelectual growth, the foundation of my beautiful childhood.  Letting me explore what i want, the things that would make me a better person. 

So thus Purple come in handy with what i’m saying???  Uhhh…yeah, bec. the color is my inspiration for my simple everyday chores.  From the simplest form of picking a candy flavoured grapes for my palate to taste, to selecting the crayon colored Violet for my baby niece coloring book.  I just loved the idea of the decisiveness that i have when it comes to the color Purple…No doubt! Amen, haha!= )

My wonder years were extremely subliminal.  I never thought i would end up collecting and receiving
the ‘ One and Only ‘ true color that i loved most. 
Like when i was 5yrs.old, my parents bought me a wall fan with a Purple hue and liked it so much that it came to a point that it was too dilapidated, that i have to give it up.  16 yrs. of service is enough, but still insisted on retaining the fan even if it doesn’t serve its purpose anymore.

Then they gave me my preciousssssh birthstone.  My cherished Amethyst = )  So coincidental, that
when i’m about to enter my freshmen year, the section that i got in was my precious ‘ Amethyst ‘.  = )
Oh what a lovely year for me that was.  And how about learning my birthmonth flower was called ‘ Violets ‘…..Ooooh lala!

My walkman’s case when i was in highschool was Purple, eventhough the sounds aren’t in quality conditon, it didn’t matter as long as i got the chance to display it, then i’m a happy teenager.  Then
came my Purple ‘Goody’ brand comb that my friend gave me, and i’m glad to announce that it’s still in
its functional mode.  I’m proud to say that i’ve been using it for the past 15yrs. and its durable quality made it longer enough to withstand my long, thick, wavy, black hair, harhar!!!  These are the few of the oh soooo many items that i can’t painstakingly elaborate.

From the minute fake pearl earrings to the purple painted cabinets that i have are the simple joys of my life.  But wait ’till you see my hundred’s of collection of cutey ‘Purple, Violet, Lavender, Lilac, Periwinkle, or even Amethyst’ colored Teddy Bearsssh! = )  Was so terribly, excessively obsessed in possessing/collecting them, and still on the lookout for more.  Bear Hunting alright, but in a safe way.  Thanks to my ever reliable, oh so persevere honey, that he never ceases to find me more.

If i’m going to recall everything that was given to me, my smile tends to increase, bec. of the wonderful things that it has brought to me.  Like the joys of seeing them brings tremendous satisfaction, like waking up in the morning seeing them instantly is such a wonderful feeling.  It’s like chocolates craving for more.  That’s the kind of impact it has on me.  I’m a monster ….. a monster wanting for more Purple, grrrr…  If only Purple could be eaten, then im the first in line!

I know i’m patronizing too much Purple, but hey!  I’ve seen other people collecting either Green, or Red stuffs!  That doesn’t make me diff. from them actually!  My brother loves to collect figurines of color Green.  Isn’t it cute that we both have some similarities, but of diff. collections.  = )

Oh…if you’re ever in the mood of sharing, just don’t bother sharing the " UBE " flavoured ice cream.
Just doesn’t taste quite right.  So artificial, unless it’s Ube Macapuno cake, or the ‘ Halaya ‘ real ube
one, then i’m racing for more.  Can’t explain why?  Ask God.  My brain was designed to be specifically for ‘JoPo’, intended for me only.  The lassie that normally laughs with you, cries with you, sympathize with you, but chooses to paint the town with the color Purple….beautifully magnificent.

You know i said too much.
I may bore you, but i do not bore myself.
It’s what you do that makes ur life meaningful,
and not what other people around u dictates you
of to be on the trend.

Whapissssh!

 

Indulge

Wednesday, September 28th, 2005


Saturday night and we were about to visit what was supposed to be an appointment for our chosen
photo video coverage for my upcoming wedding next year of Jan. 2006.  But the rain poured heavily,
causing us to delay and invalidate the appointment that was set, tsk…tsk…tsk…  Then for some unknown reason, my impulse transmitted an invigorating idea of watching ‘ Land of the Dead ‘ whom my honey wickedly disliked!

Do you prefer "Red Eye" or "Dark Water"??? Hellouer!!!  I’ve already opted for those retard-hobo zombies!  With my very, very chocolatey taro shake from Quickly, we went off to see the film, and to my dismay, I was really, sorry to say…really gloomy.  Corny talaga ha!  Zombies don’t have feelings, come on! = (

But prior to the movie, we ate a very good meal, and headed off to watch the film of fictitious unfortunate people being eaten by dead cannibals.  Then minimal time was left for me to explore on appreciating the beauty of a child’s bestfriend…’TOYS’!  It was already 10pm, and the mall starts to close, so i decided to officially seize the opportunity of wasting my time tom., Sunday afternoon without my better half knowing it, hehe.

Ma…" I’m going to the mall today to buy something ha ".  Pa…" i’ll be back in a jiffy "  And oh…as i was walking swiftly…i noted to them that i’ll be buying within the nearest mall in our area.  Well, to think they wouldn’t even bother to ask or know where my feet would take me diba???t  Eh di syempre im off to Glorietta, when actually SM Centerpoint is the nearest mall to my humble abode in Sta. Mesa.  For the fact that SM Centerpoint doesn’t carry those things that i’ve been willing to buy, eh i preferred to go somewhere else nalang.

There goes MRT, then drop off in  Ayala Station.  Then my heart’s pounding like an excited little child, claiming his/her very first toy.  Oh i Love it, i Love it, i Love it!!!  I bought a ‘One Coin Figurine Series’ that is absolutely adorable for an adult (child at heart) like me.  A deadly combination of violet and jester means sooo much to me.  Even if it’s expensive for a small item doesn’t affect my pocket bank at all = )

Oh no wait!  Did i see something devilish?  A purple ‘Devil May Cry’ action figure.  A not so charming
toy for a lady like me.  But since i’m quite fascinated with jesters, i started collecting and buying  if my budget permits me to.  Oh boy!  i’m not good in controlling myself, bec. after carrying those two goodies, my eyes caught these amazing ‘Dub City’ violet miniature metal-cars, just like Matchbox or Hotwheels have.  So the totality of them all would discharge the contents of my purse.  Leaving me nothing but some coins for my last trip at home = (

Yeah, guilty feeling i have, hmmm….?  To splurge is bad, but being happy is good hummmm???
Oh yoda my brain!  Whatever makes me happy, completely marks the satisfaction i got, bringing me
back to the good, not so old days of happy childhood memories, toys, toys, toys.  Bring it on!!!

Nothing Fancy

Wednesday, September 21st, 2005


Well this would be my very first attempt to compose something out of the ordinary.
As i woke up, not so early this morning, i thought of not coming to work.  I just don’t
feel like coming bec. of the climate condition that we have, i felt no productivity at all. 
But salary deduction is much more unappealing than harboring the traffic that i shall
go beyond and exceed.

Just when i’m about to stand, yikessss!!!  I felt sudden creepy sensation.  My sole
touched something delicate…something slimy, yet the weight of my feet didn’t harm it.
Oh yessss!!!  It’s something that ‘ Fear Factor ‘ would include in conditioning the minds
of their contestants.  Have you guessed it right???  Come on…Slugs are far more
better than worms, centipedes, leech, or any form of segmented icky creatures, aight?!?

It made me so mentally responsive, that i immediately went into my parents room,
and politely asked my father whose still sleeping, hehe, to please…please…please, get rid of those two retarded tempo slugs in my very neatly, coordinated bedroom.

Okay, they’ve been swiped off peacefully.  But still, goose bumps resides momentarily
as if my mind plays tricks on me.  Visualizing those things crawling on my skin!
What the f#%@^!!!  As i showered and exfoliate thy skin.  I remembered my mom
still half asleep, that she would freak out.  The most panic person i’ve ever met, esp.
on crawling, creeping creatures, Promise!

Hahaha!!!  I heard her screaming alright.  I told you so.  Then im through, held my
towel tightly and saw her shouting at me that it would suck our blood, and inform immediately
the custodians in our compound to spray some insecticides all over the garden/plants
surrounding the condo itself.  So as to prevent them from spreading maybe?
Ok great!  As that portion in my memory would inform me, slugs are supposedly herbivorous.
Non-threatening i guess?  Very ugly and slow hmmm….Am i degrading them too much?

To make things short, i’ve been living in my condo unit for 4yrs. now, and this would be my very
first time to experience having little intruders at my home.  I think it’s bec. of the weather,
causing too much moist on our windows, and even our floors are cool enough for them to
sleep, hehe.  That i think attracted them to sneak, and viola! occupied in our most inner corners
of our room.

And now im here in the office at around 9:13 am, i started to turn on my p.c. and instantly without
hesitations, i searched on to look for the history of Slugs.  I maybe magnifying things at large,
but hey… it’s better to be informed than not!

Bow!  = )
