masks

don't be fooled by me. don't be fooled by the face i wear. for i wear a mask, i wear a thousand masks. masks that i'm afraid to take off and none of them are really me.
pretending is an art that is second nature with me. but dont be fooled for God's sake dont be fooled.

i give you the impression that i am secure, that all is sunny and unruffled with me, that confidence is my name and coolness is my game, and that i need no one, but don't be fooled by me. my surface may seem smooth, but my surface is my mask. beneath the mask is the real me...confused, frightened and alone. but i hide this. i don't want anyone to know it.

i panic at the thought of my weakness and fear being exposed, that's why i create a mask to hide behind a nonchalant, sophisticated facade to help me pretend, to shield me from the glance that knows. i know that such a glance is my salvation. i know that if it is followed by acceptance, if it is followed by love, it is the only thing that will assure me of what i can't assure myself...that i am worth something, that i am lovable.

but i can't tell you this. i don't dare.i'm afraid to. i'm afraid that your glance will not be followed by acceptance and love. i'm afraid that you will think less of me, that you'll laugh at me and your laughter would kill me. i'm afraid that deep down i'm nothing, that i'm nothing, that i'm no good and you will see this and reject me. so i play my desperate game with a mask of assurance on the outside and a trembling child on the inside. and my whole life becomes a mask.

i chatter away with surface talk. i tell you everything that is nothing and nothing of what is everything. but when i go through my routine, don't be fooled by what i am saying, please listen carefully and try to hear what i'm not saying, what i'd like to be able to say, what i need to say but can't.

Hera is my name. Wink wink!**

I hosted for Ginoo at Binibining Adamson 2007. The theme was Greek. I came wearing this.

alanis morisette's OFFER

Who
Who am I to be blue
Look at my family and fortune
Look at my friends and my house

Who
Who am I to feel deadend
Who am I to feel spent
Look at my health and my money

And where
Where do I go to feel good
Why do I still look outside me
When clearly I’ve seen it won’t work

Is it my calling to keep on when I’m unable
And is it my job to be selfless extraordinary
And my generosity has me disabled
By this my sense of duty to offer

And why
Why do I feel so ungrateful
Me who is far beyond survival
Me who see life as an oyster

Is it my calling to keep on when I’m unable
And is it my job to be selfless extraodinary
And my generosity has me disabled
By this my sense of duty to offer

And how
How dare I rest on my laurels
How dare I ignore an outstretched hand
How dare I ignore a third world country

Is it my calling to keep on when I’m unable
And is it my job to be selfless extraodinairy
And my generosity has me disabled
By this my sense of duty to offer

Who
Who am I to be woo

You Have Your Sarcastic Moments

While you're not sarcastic at all times, you definitely have a cynical edge.In your opinion, not all people are annoying. Some are dead!And although you do have your genuine moments, you can't help getting your zingers in.Some people might be a little hurt by your sarcasm, but it's more likely they think you're hilarious.

How Sarcastic Are You?

love on the internet

now, i dont know about you but i have heard of a lot of people who have come into great relationships just by chatting.

initially i felt exasperated by this for i thought no one can be entirely honest online. plus there's the fact that most of the people on the online community go to chat rooms with one thing in mind. sex. and yes they do get it- its artificial by the way.

recently i have been joining chat rooms for the mere reason that i can and i get bored on saturday mornings when i have absolutely nothing to do in the radio station on those days.

of course there were your regular originals- the sexaholics ...the arabics who you try but cant understand.. the kababayans who's rude first question goes "may cam ka?".. the americans who invite you to see their webcams for money...and the indians who try to win you over by highfalutin words even they dont understand.

hey im no racist okay? these are mere observations. and however way they approach me is fine. i try to be as understanding as i can. and i try to be as patient as i can. i also try to never be rude.

anyway in line with this thought, i would recommend that you visit a site called www.rexnfx.com.

its a website by a filipino guy named rex hermogino, who won yahoo's talent contest. he composed, played and sang a song called "Love on the Internet". he has a video of it too. its a song about a guy who "falls in love at first chat". its funny you should listen to it.

post secrets

i highly recommend for you to visit this site

www.postsecrets.com

the things you find there will strike a chord in your heart and make you realize that there are so many secret lives and thoughts in the world. it will make you realize how much we should value other people.

the stupid (but true) color quiz i took says

%20border=0%20alt=ColorQuiz.com%20src=" here to read the rest of the results.

bewitched

its unnatural for you to still have a hold on my heart
you have bewitched it to bend to your every bid
i am stupefied and wrapped in invisible cords
unnable to find the will to stir a muscle and break free

away i must go, away i must fly

it seemed at one time i won my heart back in a battle
but you smiled as if it were you who were victorious
when we threw our swords in truce, i knew
the battle was won but it was i who lost

away i go, away i fly

an antidote i ought to find, a cure of some kind
your potent potion has left me unnerved, unsure
i sway as leaves on branches do when called by the wind
and there is nothing i can do, nothing more i can say so..

away i go, away i fly ..
to you...
