Crossing the Threshold
POSTED AT 12:16 PM

...of womanhood.

It's my 18th birthday today.

Strangely enough, I didn't feel the excitement and giddiness that is usually expected of upcoming birthdays. Ngayon pang 18th birthday ko...weird. Didn't wake up with a smile on my face and a song in my heart. More like a full bladder and disheveled hair.

But I'm happy with life in general. The depression episode last Friday did not last long (thank God) and my friends made my birthday worth smiling about. Their greetings alone were enough to make my day...and of course, Tita Ging's spaghetti and fried chicken too.

There were a lot of hurdles I had to go through with my debut planning lately, especially with the cotillion, but I've straightened them all out. Sana wala nang problema. Trust Murphy's Law (anything that can go wrong, will) to always be right. Many thanks to Jay and Gabriel, who filled in the gaps in the cotillion.

The souvenirs are all done now, clinched the deal with the photographer/videographer, Jasmin and Ate Judy would be the one to teach the dances, and the souvenirs are under way. Picture ko na lang yun inaantay.:D

Shit. I'm 18. I can watch Rated-R movies without chaperones now. I can get married. I can go to jail. I can legally have a boyfriend. I can enter bars without anyone asking for an ID.

Oh wait. I've done most of those already...But still. 18 na 'ko. I have yet to find out what being 18, and being technically a 'woman' is all about.

Is it all it's cracked up to be? I have the rest of my life to find out.

Full Steam Ahead
POSTED AT 08:53 AM

There are roughly three more weeks to go until my debut.

Ack!

Most of the details are already sorted out. Biggest stress factor of all is the cotillion. We've only had one practice so far, and I think I'm really cutting it waaaay too close. The F*cked up system of UST's enrollment foiled my carefully planned out practice sessions for this week. I was almost pulling out my hair in frustration about it. Trust Murphy and his friggin' law to always be right. Thank heavens for good friends who'll back you up. Jasmin managed to teach us half the routine in only a few hours. Next meeting (which is this Saturday), she'll teach us the other half and then we'll start the polishing. Damn. Please pray for our success.

Then the LCD projector thing. My mother really doesn't want to spend any more than we already are, so we would just have to look for someone who can lend a projector to us. We have three prospects, none of them are sure. Yvette's auntie, Tita Ging's friend and Jed's Mom. Sana may pumayag na.

Buen's already created the presentations that we're going to play on the debut itself. Hah, what a genius. Hanep sa galing gumawa ng movies. Salamat sa tulong tol!:D

Here are some pics of the debut details I'm talking about:

Do you want to know what your tarot card is?

Positive: The Star represents hopes and dreams and the optimism associated with realizing ones hearts desires. The Star is the initial spark of hope that arises from the dust when everything around us seems desolate and bleak. The Star is a renewal of faith in life and our Creator. It represents regeneration and renewal of all the good that life has to offer. The Star also represents the limitless possibilities that life has to offer, from our childish wishes to the high ideals we hold as adults. The Star is the guiding light we have been wishing on all of our lives in hopes of a better tomorrow. While similar to the motivation behind The Fool card, The Star differs in that we have hope beyond whatever our fears may bring. It represents a moment of peace, a reflection of light, or the wonderment of a child.

Negative: Reversed this card represents the loss of all hope, a pessimistic attitude, or succumbing to depression. It can also depict an overly rational point of view or one without any ideals. A minimalist or someone without motivation.
