Most of you will already know but the announcement still should be on here for posterity...
On 12 April 2006 @9:37am, my gorgeous daughter Anwen Violet was born weighing 8lbs. She's a month old today!
In the first couple of weeks I had no interest in being on the pc, then our internet died for a while...
Currently typing one-handed with Anwen clamped to boob. I'm sure I will improve with practise!
Anwen is the best thing ever, but also very demanding!
Thom has posted pics on his lj. I will post some eventually, but I don't have the time!
More later... |

Well, that summer was fast. But I guess it won't stop being summer for me until I find a proper job. Whatta thorn on the side.
It was pretty substansive, for what it was. No other major travels, save for a spontaneous roadtrip or two. But a lot of hanging out, and drinking, and bumming. Details have gotten blurry by now, so that's a pretty useless description.
But there was a lot of idealism following being a graduate and having this whole world oystered in front of you, juxtaposed with a lot of depressing hits of the reality of the situation. And in between, I've been shuttling around, trying not to think about it. That's pretty much how it all went, and how it's still going.
Meanwhile, I've been trying to find some sort of steady employment so I can get started on my MA scholarship requirements already. But do you know how hard it is to find something in the research/culture-related fields? With decent entry-level salary? And willing to take in someone with blue hair?
Maybe I should just dye my hair black again. But it's newly blue, because I'm foolishly impulsive when it comes to certain things like that. I guess I don't mind, cos the upside of not having to work yet is that I get to watch more World Cup matches [btw, Spain's 4-0 win? so great!]. On the other hand, I cut myself off from my parents, financially. I've been tapping my grad money that was supposed to take me back to Thailand, or maybe India. Now that's half gone, so my panic buttons are being pressed again [my brain has developed more than 1 panic button throught the years].
So I guess I won't be moving out any time soon. I can't even go out as much anymore, since I'm even paying for my own gas.
I did find work editing foreign grad students' theses for the Institute of Philippine Culture, but that's very project based and very suckily paid. I plan on keeping that job on the side while I get something steadier, to up my income and to keep with the tradition of overloading. I just got my first thesis, and thank god the English isn't too impossible, but it's still 120+ pages of something I don't understand. I guess I'll work on that... eventually.
This is Diego, Mei's kitten, whose likeness I hope to give birth to someday, haha:

Sex at noon taxes.
-A palindrome
If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, (even if we don't speak often) please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me. It can be anything you want - good or bad - BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE. When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified) about what people DON'T ACTUALLY remember about you.
I think I need to see that Piano Teacher, Caitlin. It sounds interesting, escpecially since an hour before you told me about it I got an idea for a screenplay with some similarities to that movie. Well, the screenplay I have an idea for doesn't have a sexually repressed musician, or a guy that jumps over bathroom stalls.
You're North Dakota!
You are rather remote, and even inaccessible to the average person. While
many would thus describe you as stuck-up, to you it seems more like you're just stuck.
When no one is looking, you yearn to engage in 19th-century European political
subterfuge. When looking for peace, head for the garden. But please, be extremely careful
around wood-chippers.
Take the State Quiz
at the Blue Pyramid.
You're Ireland!
Mystical and rain-soaked, you remain mysterious to many people, and this
makes you intriguing. You also like a good night at the pub, though many are just as
worried that you will blow up the pub as drink your beverage of choice. You're good
with words, remarkably lucky, and know and enjoy at least fifteen ways of eating a potato.
You really don't like snakes.

It's funny... I just wrote the longest post with paragraph after paragraph of details profiling my last few days... And I took a look at it... And I deleted it... It just isn't necessary...
My life is pretty good right now. Sure there are stresses. There will always be stresses. There will also be great times, times with friends, times waking up with a smile on your face, times you feel the warmth of a wonderful person by your side, times you just feel...
Right now I'm re-evaluating alot of things. I'm thinking about my relationships and what I get out of them. I'm thinking about why I am associating with people that try to bring me down or make me feel bad, and what I can do about that. I'm thinking about my career and where I'm going. I'm thinking about lots of stuff.. And I'm taking some small steps. I'm spending and evening alone, I should be starting my new job soon, etc.,
Let's see where everything leads.

| a man fast..... |
[Jul. 2nd, 2006|10:04 am] |
| [ | music |
| | Alex Lloyd::Still Waiting | ] |
Today I decided on a 7 day fast from one on one time with men. I have a tendency to put myself in situations that can be suggestive to the community here at Baylor regardless of how pure the intentions are of the rendezvous. That is not the only reason. Also, this fast is so I can focus more on my relationship with God and the incredible women that He has placed in my life. There is so much ground that needs exploring and nurturing with those girls—not to mention some business that needs tending to: finding a place to live for next school year.
A Praise with background: I haven’t ever worried about where I am going to live nor with who because it is not a big deal seeing as I am very adaptable and can make a place work in an aesthetic-living sense. But I am studying abroad spring semester ’07 and needed roommates and a lease that would work with that. One evening, I was speaking with my beloved friend, Margaret, about the situation and how she and I need to each find a place and determine how many roommates we want/can have. She and another dear friend of ours are also studying abroad in the spring, and may as well live together in the fall. I remembered a friend who was studying abroad in the fall and called her up. She then tells me that she has not found a place, but she and two other girls are all studying abroad in the fall and are concerned about having to pay for the spring without being there. How CONVENIENT AND COINCIDENTAL (yet perfectly planned and placed)!!!!!!! We decided to start looking for a 3-bedroom with a 12 month lease with no worries about having to find sub-letters.....
Absolutely unbelievable. Who would ‘a’ thought?

Why do I look at bills and bank accounts and credit cards right before going to bed? No wonder I have sleep problems..
After dinner I set out to do some major cleaning. I wanted to get at least the living room done. ..I managed to hang a few photo frames, pick up the large scraps off the floor, throw away a dish of potpurri that stopped smelling about a month ago, and straighten one shelf on one bookcase. Argh. I just don't have the energy. But I've gotten so behind on chores, now I'm totally overwhelmed. What needs to be done before Sunday..
- Vaccuum both 1st and 2nd floor and the stairs
- Mop the kitchen and both bathrooms
- Scrub the toilets and counters
- Sort through the massive mail & receipt pile on my desk
- Put away the Christmas decorations (I know, it's pathetic)
- Put away everything else (I'm drowning in clutter)
Writing it down, it doesn't look like much. But if I turn around and actually look at it all, my chest hurts. Eek. One of the worst things about me being depressed is that I lose all ability to manage a household. I think I'll grab my bedtime sippycup, crawl into my loft, and sulk in the dark for awhile. |

| Something So Good, Can Be Gone So Fast. |
[Jul. 2nd, 2006|10:03 am] |
i say this because i was just watching the memorial service for Laura VanRyn mistakenly identified as Whitney Ceriak and how devistating something can be.
it just made me take it to heart because Laura and her boyfriend had been together for three years && they had their future planned but in the blink of an eye, in a split second---their dreams were shattered when she was taken away from everyone. Aaron(Laura`s boyfriend) doesn`t know how you could love someone so much, feel her hands, see her toes && be with her for months and NOT know it wasn`t her.
the college they attended was a catholic church, so of course, the service && memorial was very "churchy" if you know what i mean.
but, i think it was good for someone like myself to hear. i hold grudges && i suppose you can say i hold them well. i seriously want to beat the living crap out of a certain girl--but is that really what God wants me to do? there is such better things for me to do other than to smash her face in..&& to sit there && not give anyone i haven`t gotten along with in the past just a single chance.
unless you really do dig deep down inside, you usually don`t find yourself writing dang livejournal posts about this..haha
another reason why i am posting this isn`t just because of the accident in which the girl`s were mistaken in; but my friend was diagnosed with cancer. although all is going well && they are 99.9% sure it is curable--she could have been taken away from everyone in the blink of an eye without having time to say goodbye.
i just wish everyone could tell everyone they loved them-even if they hated them && ii wish we could spend more time with everyone that we love && tell them more often because you never know when something So Good Is Going To Be Taken Away So Quickly.
&& saying all this ii feel terriable about how i treat people.
my grandma kane is a great example--she lives with me so believe me, just trust me on this one; i seriously feel like i could strangle her but all && all i wouldn`t be the person i am today without her. my parents were both young when they had me so my grandma was like my mom for my whole life && up until this day still somewhat is. yeah, it drives me crazy; but i bet once it`s gone..i`m going to miss it more than anything in this world.
&& ryan-ugh, sometimes i really do HATE HIM, haha--well, we just don`t get along...but he`s another person who has changed my life completley. he has shown me what love really is && he has taught me to be such a better person.
sorry i got somewhat crazy on ya there..but everyone has their days when they just need to "vent".

| The Keys to Your Heart | 
You are attracted to those who have a split personality - cold as ice on the outside but hot as fire in the heart.
In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored.
You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring.
You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.
Your ideal relationship is comforting. You crave a relationship where you always feel warmth and love.
Your risk of cheating is 100%. You are not suited for a monogamous relationship.
You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.
In this moment, you think of love as something you can get or discard anytime. You're feeling self centered. |
| You are an Atheist | 
When it comes to religion, you're a non-believer (simple as that).
You prefer to think about what's known and proven.
You don't need religion to solve life's problems.
Instead, you tend to work things out with logic and philosophy. |
| You Are 50% Boyish and 50% Girlish |
You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch.
Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes.
You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them.
You're just you. You don't try to be what people expect you to be. |
| You're a Freaky Kisser | 
When you kiss, you want to experience something new
A new technique, a new partner, a new piercing...
And your own personal kissing style is very unpredictable
There's no saying where your tongue or hands will go |
| Your Career Type: Artistic | 
You are expressive, original, and independent.
Your talents lie in your artistic abilities: creative writing, drama, crafts, music, or art.
You would make an excellent:
Actor - Art Teacher - Book Editor
Clothes Designer - Comedian - Composer
Dancer - DJ - Graphic Designer
Illustrator - Musician - Sculptor
The worst career options for your are conventional careers, like bank teller or secretary. |
| You Are 30% Weird | 
Not enough to scare other people...
But sometimes you scare yourself. |
| How You Life Your Life | 
You are honest and direct. You tell it like it is.
You tend to avoid confrontation and stay away from sticky situations.
You tend to have one best friend you hang with, as opposed to many aquaintences.
You tend to dream big, but you worry that your dreams aren't attainable. |
| You Should Learn Japanese | 
You're cutting edge, and you are ready to delve into wacky Japanese culture.
From Engrish to eating contests, you're born to be a crazy gaijin. Saiko! |
| You Are a Punk Rocker! | 
When it comes to rock, you don't follow any rules
You know that rocking out is all about taking down the man
You've got an incredible stage presence and rock persona
You scare moms, make bad girls (or boys) swoon, and live life on the edge! |
| Your World View |
You are a moralist with conventional ideas, which some people would call old-fashioned.
You probably think that most of the world falls badly below your standards.
Your inhibitions and sense of guilt are in the way of your happiness.
You think that people tend to use sex for evil, as a weapon.
Your parents probably played a big part in the formation of such a guilt complex as yours.
Your mind is in chains, and it's time you did something to free it. |
| Your Hidden Talent | 
You have the natural talent of rocking the boat, thwarting the system.
And while this may not seem big, it can be.
It's people like you who serve as the catalysts to major cultural changes.
You're just a bit behind the scenes, so no one really notices. |

I love weekends that are filled with talking over tea with sister/mother/Thijs/grandmother <3, eating delicious dinners, visiting my cousin + boyfriend's new apartment, watching Idols & de Lama's, reading Anna Karenina at a startlingly slow pace, dreaming about moving in with Thijs and hanging above my mother's pans in order to discover the secret of cooking.
Yes, I love being stress-free and having the prospect of having practically two weeks off (have to finish 2 assignments, but nothing too time-consuming I think). Yay.
I had a strange dream this night involving Y and a shower (and no, it wasn't as pervy as I make it sound now, ahahaha). Need to write it down before I forget it. I wonder if she's given birth yet.
And Thijs had an appointment with a travel-reporter today, since he wants to be a travel-reporter himself (or rather, he wants to travel and thinks writing is a good excuse to do so), and the reporter (Sander) sees potential in him even though he doesn't think he's good enough, and Thijs might get the chance to go to Stockholm with Sander in two weeks to see how it all works. I don't have a good feeling about this all but I can't explain why. Reporting isn't Thijs's thing, I can feel that very strongly. Where his real talent lies is photography, and that's the thing I feel he needs to pursue, not reporting, and especially not with Sander because I don't have a good feeling about this guy, either. Might be because he's gay and hopefully not chasing after Thijs, heh. I don't know. I can't explain this feeling, maybe it's not a sense of foreboding but a personal feeling, if that makes sense. Maybe I let my own fears somehow interfere with my intuition, I don't know. But God, I just... no. No, no, no. I might be wrong, but everything in me says NO.
On a completely unrelated note: I met my old friend Manon this Friday on the train. I like Manon very much, she's one of the incredibly rare people that seems to be genuine and jealousy-free. We had a great talk and she's coming over to Utrecht soon to see my room and catch up properly. I met her boyfriend as well, he's a very nice guy. It's good to realise that my circle of friends doesn't consist of bitches alone. |
