knocks me off my feet

Ah yes. James Brown knew what he was talking about. Today's quote says "You only live once."

I think i've already accomplished a lot. Of course, I still have this increasing level of expectancy but its been good nonetheless. Found out recently that some girls I know (friends and otherwise) have begun dating my old dates. And its good. Its an indication of how people change or sometimes you may have met them at the wrong time. or maybe, you just weren't right to begin with. now is the time to grow. no more incessant arguments and childish tantrums. it doesn't help me. and there's no room for those who purposely bring it to me. banish the emotional vampires!

Had dinner with Anna yesterday at Masas. I just can't get out of ordering sisig for dinner when its available. hehe. But I didn't finish it. Part of my diet. I got two weeks before an exciting day and i want to look extra good for that :) but we still had a large pitcher of gin pom. sorry to the rest who i couldn't meet up with afterwards. had a banging headache. must have been the gin or the pom.

this coming weekend is the summer outing and i have no clue what i'm going to do there besides sunbathing by the pool. I think there will be so many kids that I won't be able to relax anyway. the following tuesday is jay's wedding and i've completely given up on finding a dress. i'll just wear the nice ol' reliable orange chiffon, its perfect for the summer anyway. who cares if the guys have seen it before? even the bride remembers it from a wedding two years ago. and then there's the move. i'm trying to figure out what to bring to the new house. that's something to look forward to again. the whole fam is engaged in this effort to minimize the stuff we bring. its a good excuse to clean house. here's my list of throw outs:
- old boyfriend memorabilia
- old AIM cases
- stuffed toys
- clothes and i haven't worn in a year (except that orange dress)
- old furniture (the extra bed, the sofa chair...stuff i just throw things on when i'm too tired to put them away)
- old magazines (i'm bringing them to a recycling center)
- compo and speakers (i hardly use it anyway with my ipod)

but i'm definitely bringing:
- all my books!
- current clothes
- my bass
- the dustbuster!
- my favorite shoes (I got a new pair of charles & keith lace heels! sexay!)
- bookshelves (i have these wooden ones from when I was a kid. still reliable)
- filing cabinet (with all the papers i'm throwing away, i'll have space again)
- my magazine collection (mademoiselle from the 90s, InStyle, Real Simple)

now is the time to go back to Japan Home Store and get all the storage bins.

now if only someone would buy my old laptop. I want to get the ibook and i can't seem to unload this thing! as vince suggested, i should just install a dvd drive and sell it. that's all people look for nowadays...

and here's another question: what am i going to do with my cassette tape collection???they are kind of memorable because some of them I inherited from my godfather who passed away. some are from my parents in the 80's. classics man.

and lastly, my new color theme. i figure it will be a mix of blue, green, purple and yellow. very nautical. funny since my favorite color has been red for the past several years. i'll just wear the color then.

ok enough about house cleaning. i'm just going to relax today at home. it's a holiday, don't ya know? :)
