Make A Funny

(Or, in English, “you’re still young/you’re just a kid.”)

Every time I hear someone saying this to me I just get so royally ticked off! Yeah, I know I’m only 20. I’m aware that there’s still so much out there that I haven’t experienced. But I mean come on! How will I ever “grow up” and “mature” if people will always be breathing down my neck and telling me that I’m too young to be doing so and so.

Anyway, I just had to get that off my chest. Really though I don’t mind that my taste in certain things (music, movies, etc.) hasn’t evolved like the rest of my peers. I enjoy watching Disney Channel movies and listening to stuff by Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez. I still read books meant for kids the ages of my nephew and nieces, too. These are just things that I’ve grown accustomed to doing. I definitely don’t think it’s grounds for saying that I’m too fragile to face what life offers.

Power to the people. LOL!

I was bored so I thought of looking up stuff on my zodiac sign (can you guess which one it is?) and I found this site that eerily enough describes exactly how I know myself. Pretty freaky, considering the fact that I read horoscopres for fun and not for actual guidance in life. Anyway, I just felt like sharing what was written about us Pisceans. Check the site out and read yours, too. Let me know if it’s as accurate as mine is. =)

“Signs of the Zodiac
By Athena Starwoman

Pisces

Your element: Water

Your ruling planets: Neptune

Symbol: The Fish

Your stone: Bloodstone

Life Pursuit: To avoid feeling alone and instead feel connected to others and the world at large

Vibration: Erratic Energy levels

Pisces Secret Desire: To live their dreams and turn fantasies into realities.

Description:
Mysterious and alluring individuals, most Pisces are extremely talented, but even though they are gifted in many ways, they still manage to spend most of their lives battling “confusing” conditions. Pisces is the sign symbolised by the image of two fish. Their symbol depicts one fish heading upward, the other pulling downward. This mirrors how Pisceans are frequently torn between two pathways in life, or actually do live two very different existences at the same time.

The number 2, is a very powerful number for them. This zodiac sign is acknowledged as being the Saint and the Sinner rolled into one; the trendsetter of fashion or art, the lost soul, the philosopher and the psychotic and the visionary. As a credit to them, considering their many vulnerable characteristics; Pisceans are incredibly adaptable and resilient. They are to be found leading the field in many diverse areas of life and many Pisces can be found represented amongst top business millionaires. On the other side of the coin, prisons, reform schools and all kinds of institutions statistically hold a high number of Pisceans too.

The Piscean’s inner quest to explore their “ivory tower” syndrome can lead them into some most unusual and unlikely living conditions. Of all the signs of the zodiac, Pisces are the ones who end up in the most muddles over the years of their lives. They fantasize about situations, people and particularly romance – and because they spend so much time in their own form of ‘fantasy land’ this can catch them short in other more worldly areas. Because of this inner world of fantasy, Pisces people seldom perceive whatever is going on around them in its true light. They see life instead as they want to see it, coloring their view of the world in hues and tones far removed from its true reflection. No wonder this is the sign of both miracles and disillusionment. If you are a Pisces, be warned your emotions are a weak spot.

One thing that plays havoc with your life is romance. When things romantically are going well for you, you are on cloud nine. When romance turns sour you land in a heap. Pisces often need to take lots of holidays (or time off) to recover from life’s many diverse pressures. You are the zodiac’s most sensitive sign, so you need to take extra special care of yourself. Nobody can beat you up, as much as you can beat yourself up within your own mind. In your purest form you are psychic, visionary and a guiding light to all who know you. But, in your “out of tune” state, you become depressed, obsessive and confused.” – Athena Starwoman

(BTW, this doesn’t necessarily mean that I now want to live my life based on “what the stars are saying about me” or whatever. I just really enjoyed reading this particular interpretation of my sign. )

Someday, I wanna be able to actually travel the Philippines. I wanna see the Chocolate Hills in Bohol, the beaches of Palawan, the mountains of Sagada… Heck, I just wanna see what nature has to offer in my homeland. I mean, come on. I’ve seen the Niagara Falls but I’ve never been anywhere near the Pagsanjan Falls! Talk about lame.

Now this is not to say that I have complaints about having had the chance to travel internationally in the past. Of course I’m happy that I had the opportunity to see the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Hong Kong. These are great places, really. It’s just that I’ve been a Filipino for almost 21 years and yet I’ve only ever been to Baguio, Tagaytay, Laguna, and Pampanga. Not so bad, right? Wrong. Whenever my family and I go to those places we never go sight-seeing or whatever.

So now I’m thinking of setting up a five-year local traveling plan. Once a year (starting 2009) I’m gonna grab a few friends (or maybe my sister and cousin) and soak on some local culture. Nothing too extravagant and expensive, of course. I’ll probably start small and work my way up. Yeah, that sounds practical enough. *fingers crossed*

Right. Hiatus my booty. LOL! I guess I really shouldn’t fight the urge to blog, huh? Anyway, today I took the last of my final exams for this semester. Finally I can drop all thoughts of quota grades and project deadlines and just do what I want to do – at least for the next three weeks (give or take a few days).

It’s all pretty sad, though. I mean, over this short (but slow) semester, I’ve found some pretty good acquaintances/friends in my classes. This is the part that sucks about being an irregular student. Unlike the rest of the college population, I’m never sure of who my classmates for the next semester will be. I have to start all over again come November 5. I’ll live, of course, but I would so prefer if I could have my classes with the blocks I’ve familiarized myself with over the past four months.

Such is the life of Maria Isadora. Well, that’s all for now. Be back with more next time. Signing off!

Wow, my last blog was weeks ago and here I am typing about going on hiatus. Yeah, I just really can’t find it in me to blog. School’s almost over – finally, that’s out of the way, at least for a few weeks – but I still feel like I’m too lazy to tap-a-tap-tap away. So, yeah. An indefinite hiatus is in order. See you all again soon (or later)! =)
