I'm sorry for not posting. But then again, no one really reads my posts, which is both a blessing and depressing. No number of posts (especially by me) will be able to make up for them.
Well, it's summer now, and all I'm hoping for is a good vaca destination. Also a funny homily. I want to go to the WR chapel! Ughhhhh I suddenly need confession. And Wednesday and Friday mass. :/
Last time I checked this website, I don't think the number of MAIN bloggers was that big. Meaning, the ones on the sidebar. And then now I think, how does one read alllll those blogs in one sitting? I mean, I understand the writing/typing process, but how do you READ? Doesn't it take about twice as long to read as it takes to type? Well maybe thats just me. Or not.
Anyhoos, I finally got a copy of Carrie Underwood's 'Carnival Ride' off of EBAY. It cost me 3 $, plus shipping and handling. (but my mom got something else too, so that came out fine.) I just so happen to cry everytime I hear this song, and I think you should cry too. I know I'm not American, but I know how painful a military funeral can be. My gramps was buried that way, and we had a choir sing some usually upbeat church songs in the darkest, saddest way possible. He died on my grandparent's 60th anniversary. Lord rest his soul. Nobody should go through that.

I HAVE JUST FINISHED WATCHING 5 EPS STRAIGHT OF HEROES, I THINK IM IN LOVE. WITH THE ADORABLE I CAN'T EXPLAIN BAD GUY THAT EATS BRAINS. I TOTALLY DREAMT LAST NIGHT OF HIM, AND I REMEMBER HIM SAYING, "YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU RIGHT? YOU KNOW I WON'T EAT YOUR BRAINS?" AND THEN HE ATE MY BRAINS.
"Minsan po, nahihilo na ako talaga eh... Wala na akong pag-asa. Saka masakit na yung katawan ko... ayaw ko po na." sabi ng pasyente.
"Bakit hindi ka matulog?" saysay ni Ms. Q.
"Ayaw kong matulog, po..." sabi niya.
"Bakit?"
"Dahil, pag-pikit ng mata ko... baka hindi na ako magising..."
("Sometimes, I get dizzy to a high, high extent. I have no more hope, and my body hurts so much... I don't want to do this anymore."
"Why don't you sleep?"
"I don't want to."
"Why?"
"Because, when I close my eyes, I might not wake up anymore...")
This coming from a patient at the Philippine General Hospital. She had numerous growths all over her body, and they were all cancerous. She's going to die. She has no one with her in the daytime, and she is alone when everyone has visitors.
Please, guys, pray for her. She can't hope for herself any more, please do it for her. She needs all the help she can get.
This is the movie, Penelope, which I swear to GOD can never be replaced by anything. It's epically romantic and hilarious. Christina Ricci and James McAvoy star in it, and so I'm pretty sure its worth the while.
I tried out for debate, with my BFF Cookie and Dara from Covadonga, and a bunch of other people. We were around fifteen people initially, then it narrowed down to ten, and Cookie & I made the callbacks. Four people got in... one of them being me! :) So happee. Lol.
ANDDDD
WHEATUS? WHERE HAVE YOU GONE?
SERIOUSLY... THIS IS MUSIC.
AND....
THESE HAVE HAD ME SINGING ALONG FOR DAYS.
Graham Colton-If Love Was Enough [http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AAVF6C4C]-DL link
The Bridges-Pieces
Wheatus-A Little Respect [http://www.sendspace.com/file/a8h8kf]-DL Link
Erasure-A Little Respect.
Erasure's version is the original, and I swear that it's superduper addicting.
I'm not so sure about that, even with Christmas right around the corner. Sure, I do have a few things in mind, but nothing that I really want. Nothing that I'd care for after two months of using. Nothing that would make much of a difference... Except one thing.
I actually go to Philippine General Hospital [PGH] with Andrea and Dana from Covadonga, but lately I haven't gone. Usually we go to a McDonald's, take a van to PGH, and just make the rounds and talk to the little kids and caretakers in the 9th and 11th Wards. It's the most depressingly-hopeful-devastated-indescribably amazing place. I have been there about four times, and all of those four times had so much fun, and it's seriously the most enlightening place EVER.
When you see the faces of the little kids and babies, they look like they don't know what they're going through. They look so hopeful that they'll make it through for another day, although most nights, at least three die. They're all so innocent, so mild, so naive, that it's painful. When they're put to sleep for a nap and the caretaker talks to you, she tells you the little kids' and their background story. Some of the mothers are oldies, with about 7 children, and are so ultimately bitter that their child needs so much money. Others are Sixteen-and-up-year olds, who sure as hell don't know what to feel. They're the hopeful ones, the ones with young husbands working in the city while they stay in the hospital with their little child as he or she gets treated for cancer, hydrosephelus, or something.
These are the people I so long to support. They are the strong ones; they are the ones who really need it. Who deserve something. Who, even though they are the whole reason our economy is at stake, deserve our help. Where will your efforts go if you give someone who has money even more money? Nothing.
But if you give someone who has basically three things to live for... you have given them a reason to never stop hoping. To never stop waiting for another day. To never stop dreaming for their family and themselves. To never stop caring. You give them reasons to LIVE.
I seriously would love if any of you would attempt to donate to the PGH fund. I can't find a link right now, but I'm very much aware that there is one. It's your Christmas gift not only for me, but for a whole bunch more families that need it.
Ever heard of Oasis? I HIGHLY doubt you haven't. It's impossible. Anyways... I recently copied the CD of my dad onto my MacBook, snd Champagne Supernova is AMAZING. Late, I know.
Along with that, I believe I've gotten the free download of October Nites' album off of purevolume, and found some links leading to Graham Colton's Best Days and If Love Was Enough. Lyrics=exquisite.
Wait a second--what's up with Cami and LYRICS?
Well, she listens to music not for the beats, but for the lyrics. Oh, shocking. But if you pay attention to what she listens to, google the lyrics. Read them. Analyze them. Or just listen to the words. You will understand.
I mean, seriously. Who wants a song that dwells on sex and how they do it in a bar? Dignity, much?
Part Two. Dear person, I'm not really sure if I should call you a friend anymore,
I don't FREAKING understand. Do I have to be interceded so I can be responded to? What the HELL is your problem? Do you HAVE a problem? I can't even tell, cause you don't TALK TO ME.
My God, woman, I am not one to "understand" what you're going through. I'm not going to lie, but you're being a total beeyotch.

I tag... ten people in the world population. You know who you are...!
I am, as of now, officially 14 years and a day old. I spent tonight watching Casanova (with Heath Ledger, RIP buddy) on youtube, just to prove how very lifeless I am. Today I also realized this...
Heath Ledger was an amazing actor.
Oh, and that I love period dramas. I don't kid about things like this. Period. Dramas. They're mostly the books turned movies, like Love in The Time Of Cholera, Pride and Prejudice, etc. Some, like Casanova, are the epitome of hilarity. Some are all too romantic, and I love those. [Sorry, kids, I have a thing for cheesy. (Ask Covadonga. I cried for All I Need Is You by The Click Five.) ]
I am also now a fourteen year old! I am ancient, according to Cookie, and I am now allowed to have puberty dreams. The thought of which both disturbs and intrigues me. (Gabe Nevins... Reading Room... Cookie, you know you're reading this.)
AND OMG. I watched Michael Johns at my local mall on the 20th. I am, very
frankly, disappointed with his show. According to my mom, he won't make it with his song choices and transitions and stage dress. According to me, he won't hold a lot of people's attention for very long, either. That sucks, cause I'm pretty sure he can do so much better. (Just like Twilight!)
Isn't Val Emmich so damn amazing?
This song=my lullaby.
So. Sweet.
& So different from his other stuff. I guarantee you pure awe when you listen to it.
I was so pissed off before I started listening to this. I swear, it's beautiful. The lyric, I mean. If you don't understand what he means by Snowy Day, figure it out. It's absolutely beautiful.
" She let me get some rest,
She let me sleep real late, So I could fight another day. "
so i just found love song by taylor swift on youtube after about 9342758 hours of random searching this week...
and it was absolutely... how do i say it... amazing.
the lyric was simply beautiful. and, although i'm not much of a country music fan, i've found most of her new stuff amazingly real and relatable to and... indescribably amazing.
seriously. does it get any better than...
"marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know."
the you'll never have to be alone had me on the verge of tears.
thats how much i love this song.
and EDWARD SCISSORHANDS. old movie, timeless plot.
i just found it so amazingly funny and yet it had me choking back tears in the end. have you seen it? its seeable on youtube.
what i love most about the movie is how johnny depp probably has 50 one liners, but the way he says them all are deserving of being hall of fame one liners. and his expressions have you in his grip, too. so like you explode with laughter when he gets squirted with water. at least i did. its hilarious.
and FORREST GUMP.
another amazing movie my dad made me watch this morning.
"i may not be a smart man, but i know what love is."
epic line. epic. simply. epic.
tqvm for reading~
-cams! :))

AAAAAND
i found out my goggie Dana is preggo )):
and my daddy is inquiring for a goggie like this
so cute, yes?
AAAAAAAAND
and i hate her. i made a poem about it.
ok end :))
I am disoriented. My watch is telling me the right time, but my body and mind aren?t. It feels like noon. It?s so bright and hot out here? in the seclusion of my room. I have a ceiling fan, and it?s still hot.
Just got back from school, and apparently I have 5 quizzes on Monday. Not only that, but I also have to co-write a script with a Russian Scientist as the protagonist. I?d go on with ?not only? but also?? statements, but I am very sure you get the gist of it. I?m very busy. Which sucks. I don?t like working, I don?t like writing essays about topics I have opposing beliefs on. I don?t like listening to lectures about health and nutrition, nor do I enjoy the mention of x in mathematics. I like photography, though I don?t take pictures, but I love some pictures, and the cool effects of lighting and stuff. I like music. A lot. I delete pictures on my phone to accommodate songs.
And I love this: ?Why would I stop loving you
A hundred years from now?
It's only time;
It's only time.?
-The Magnetic Fields, ?It?s Only Time?-
The song? in itself is amazing. In all honesty, it?s the best slow song I?ve heard in a while. The guy singing has a funny, low voice, but it?s kind of reminiscent of the Frank Sinatra-Louis Armstrong era?simple sounds, simple lyric, and amazingly easy to like.
On the lyric: it?s nice to know that people still view time the same way. It?s only time. We?re going to go, but we?re not going to stop. There is no reason to stop. And if you stop loving someone? it probably was infatuation. Not love. Love never ends. And I don?t know much about romantic love yet, but I do know that when you love someone for real, you?ll know it. You won?t think of the future, you won?t think of what?s gonna happen next. And when something unexpected happens, even though so many people say ?I knew it was gonna happen when I first saw you together,? you still don?t expect it? because love expects nothing but love in return. Not money, not sex, not anything else. And the concept of a hundred years not being a deterrent in loving someone, it truly, truly amazes me. No matter what, if the composer was drunk or high or something? to think this was written by a person who loved someone sincerely. Not that people don?t love sincerely now, but people don?t write about love the way it?s supposed to be like. They look into what?s going wrong, what they want? it ruins the essence of love. And the lyric in its entirety is simply amazing.
See? I told ya?ll heavy stuff was coming. Anyway. Brain fart.
Time to write about Dmitri Mendeleyev. Good afternoon :)
Hi kids! I'm Camilla. Cami. Mila. Cams. Whatever. I'm new, if you haven't already noticed.
I've always liked blogging, don't know why... just never really got around to it. Myspace was too restricting. Or was it my computer? I'll never know. You, either. We'll never know. Sticky notes flew away most of the time. :(
Okay, I was planning something with more grandeur and fluff but I'm swamped at the moment, catch ya'll later!
But before I go... check out Val Emmich! He's an amazing artist, and his lyrics are amazing as well. (He looks like Brendon Urie, too. *swoon*) And, as I have learned from his message board and comments on youtube videos, he's fun and cool too. So, if you have time, check him out! I tell you, it's no waste!
http://myspace.com/valemmich
till later (literally)!
Camilla<3
note on the title:
Yeah. Heavy stuff. Probably inspirational... probably brain fart. I'm not consistent, so get ready. Or don't. I might post a sticky note that I'd have scanned once in a while. :D
