I so miss home. Though I feel a little sad to leave LA. I love Barnes & Noble, Borders, Staples and Target. I'll miss those places.

And my sisters. Musn't forget my sisters...

Yea, today is mother's day here. Cheeky day to leave,ne? It's the day after in the Philippines though.

Anyways I do miss a lot...

My friends. Thank goodness Ara is just a phone call away.

My computer. My Adobe Photoshop!

My pillows! And stuff toys! I miss Oxygen!

I guess I do miss my brother and mum, I wonder what the hell they did to my computer. I heard they took my CPU. Grrr...

I miss my games...Whee! I have a new Nancy Drew game!

*sigh*

It's always like this, I'm both sad and excited to be going someplace.

Oh well,

La, I'm going home...~ I going hooooomeeeee!

 

Ooohhh! I'm actually in Los Angeles...

Okay not quite L.A., I'm in Walnut. Seriously, they have a place named like that! I feel lke a squirrel...hahaha

Anyways on my arrival here, I spent a night in my sister's house then I was whisked away to Las Vegas.

Darn it's not quite fun when you're below the legal age, I resolved to somehow returned to Las Vegas when I do reach 21...then I can have some fun!!! Hee hee

I still kinda have jet lag, I tend to feel sleepy suddenly, like I wake up late in the morning and still feel sleepy in the afternoon even while already having half a day's sleep...but then again, I tend to always feel sleepy. After all I like to sleep...

I've watched Pride and Prejudice after reading the book. I love the actress playing Elizabeth Bennet that's how I pictured her in my mind though Mr. Darcy in the movie is less than what I expected. I want a cuter(hotter-handsomer?) actor for that...not that I know of any actor for that. I suck at those since i don't really care much. La~ anyways the movie is almost as good as the book, love the cutesy romantic ending.

Anyways I'm itching to go to Disneyland, Six Flags, Berry Knotts Farm and Universal Studios because I'm still a kid at heart like that...

Well time to do the laundry! ja~

    It's our summer vacation!

And everyone will absolutely miss each other! Though I'll still get to see some of my friends untill April 1 or 2 then it's off to The U.S. of A. for yours truly! I'm excited of course...my very first time traveling alone to another country, seriously...I mean with no company whatsoever. No relatives or friends with me.

Just me.

Now I'm freaking myself out. Calm down, idiot... plus side is I'm going on business class, which is uber cool! And it'll be a straight trip from Manila to L.A.

Gonna stay there for at least a month, I have a feeling I'll be a babysitter for two little kids. I'm psychic that way...at least they're cute and I have yet to actually, personally meet my new baby nephew...Austin. So I am looking forward to it.

I certainly hope I can go to Disneyland. I'll be bringing home lots of gifts, of course. That's my nature.

Still can't get enough about tomorrow being start of our Vacation...really.

P.S. I am DEFINITELY NOT COMING BACK to the Philippines WITHOUT a "TALES OF THE ABYSS" CD for my PS2!!! I swear it!
-anybody know where to find it? In the states?-

    So I've decided to make an orginal fiction since all those books of Julia Quinn had been nagging me to write my own. And even if I know that I suck with most chaptered fics I still have to try. And of course hope it's well. Plus, I'm a new registered user in Fiction Press and just have to wait before I post my new story there, I decided to grace(or to annoy -whichever-) y'all with my Prologue. And the summary too. On an extra note, ignore my title for now, it was the nicest I had, probably going to change that if or when I finish the story.

Curiosity Caught the Guy
-by Yukirei a.k.a. Audrey A.

Summary:

Mrs. Danbury had often warned her about her curiosity and though Elizabeth Taylor had taken her headmistress’ lessons to heart it was still very hard to control her inquisitiveness about things around her. Combined with her natural ability to get herself into the weirdest and probably the most troublesome situations, her first Season in London is bound to be anything but ordinary.

Luke Simons, current Duke of Devonshire, is a rake. An infamous one at that and after touring Europe he had returned to London to temporarily reside in his aunt’s house. Who, he found out, is hosting the second ball for the London Season. Unfortunately he is not in the mood to meet any Marriage-minded Mamas and thus, withdraws from balls but being obliged to attend the second ball he meets Elizabeth Taylor, a curious chit—too curious, if you ask him— in the most embarrassing situations. 

With the two thrown together, can the non-marriage minded rake keep himself away from the eligible young miss who’s just a little too much for him? Especially since he keeps thinking about her and his thoughts aren’t actually all that innocent.

    I should be happy really, ecstatic I suppose...it is after all my first ever JS Prom but I'm not.

I'm in the cotillion, and the dance is lovely I suppose and we have almost perfected it and it nice and my partner my senior dances well plus today is "valentine's day". It's not as if I've ever received a gift on valentine's day but...I just can't help but hope.

Oh honestly I know I'm not very pretty and I don't turn heads but really I just wish even if it's just for tomorrow night, for one single solitary night...I can be the person he likes.

Really I'd make the moment last...I swear I will, if I ever receive a gift from him tomorrow (not that he would but it would be absolutely nice if he did...) I would treasure it. Maybe not forever but for as long as I could.

And that could be quite a long time.

But still it's funny how even in unrequited love I'm still pretty much loyal. And I can never ever utter the words "I love you" in that particular meaning because I know, no matter I much I would wish I could deny it, someone already does posses my heart. And even if he doesn't know (or does he?) or he always ends up shattering it (both intentionally or not) I know he still holds it and I make absolutely no move to take it back.

Maybe I do like to hurt myself...

It's funny and it hurts.

And sometimes I don't know what to do.

Hopefully something would happen tomorrow...something definitely, absolutely, positively wonderful...lovely, romantic even? Even for just a moment. I shall keep my hopes even if they do get crushed because really what else can I do with such a stubborn and traitorous heart?
