sometimes i feel like i am in the eye of the storm. or walking on glass. or ducking for cover. or maybe i’m in one of those storm shelters waiting out a storm, but no one will ever tell me when it’s okay; and i am unable to ask if it’s okay because my mind works out instances, and occurrences lead to sets of facts that can be equated as the truth.

the things i used to consider “doing for myself” don’t quite feel like that anymore. that’s completely fine. i’m not mad or upset about having to redefine what i can do that’s just for me. it’s kind of nice to have that change.
i’m part of this mentorship program for english majors called chernin and one thing the program is doing this semester is...

I’ve had an incredibly long few weeks. From Central Cal Outreach, classes, {m} retreat, PCN Acting auditions, callbacks, classes, PCN Retreat, meetings, meetings, meetings, Townhalls, logistics, programming, programming, programming. Spring started, and I just had to hit the ground running.
I know everyone’s busy, and everyone’s stressing, but everyone has different limits,...

maybe i'm being easily offended right now,
but don’t say that shit to someone who has ten thousand times more stress than you.
in the end, it will be worth it.
kay, i'm burning out
it’s only february. D:
or maybe it’s just that today feels like a continuation of yesterday.
brain-dumping about my thoughts on tonight. lawl it was basically one giant community affirmation, because while critiquing it is good and all, it’s also nice to be able to say something nice every so often. but now i don’t really wanna post it, cos it’s too cheeseball.
great job tonight, er’rybody.

people need to fucking leave it alone.
if you say something with finality, why don’t you take your own advice and stop as well? it’s a two-way street. you want the door closed? quit fucking kicking it open then. quit stirring shit up and stop excusing your behavior as a form of righteousness. it disgusts me.
you aren’t protecting anyone anymore; you’re hurting people. i wonder if you have enough courage to stop...

damn
pcn kick-off reminded me just how much time has passed since pcn 2011. i can go on and on about why pcn is very close to my heart, but i really won’t because then i’ll be gross.
but holy shit! i’m fucking stage manager. right now i’m all stoic and chill and shit, but i’m freaked out of my mind. i need to not suck ass at my job. i need to be on top of my game. i need...
whenever i see a tilde
it becomes hard to take anything else that follows it seriously. unless the tilde is used as an approximation, it’s lulz-tastic.

{m}aganda has a production decal!
http://www.facebook.com/events/209264199170222/
take it if you need units, want to learn more about {m}aganda, like to make pretty things on photoshop, etc, etc. see what the fuss is all about and why {m} is hipper than a hip.
this is gonna be the longest week ever
but at least i actually don’t have any programming to attend to this upcoming weekend. what’s uuuup!
read carefully
before responding to something, especially business-related. it’s hella rude to get a response that doesn’t even make sense.

{m}aganda is very precious to me.
i feel like i never don’t have a great time when i’m with all of staff. everyone’s talent and creativity is just incredibly inspiring to me, and i actually felt very happy to have shared even just those two pieces of writing to staff (even though, lawl… it wasn’t very good).
i’m glad to be in this group with all of you, and no matter how busy or swamped i get,...

lololol
weird.
earlier today in my english class, i saw a girl who i always recognize in my english classes because we keep taking the same ones. spring 2011, we both had 45a with justice and the same section, and we both took english 177b. last semester we had 45c with goble, and the same section. now, we’re both in english 134 (well, as long as we both get off the waitlist). i didn’t see her in...
i want people to start dropping rhetoric 20 so i can get off the waitlist and into the class! the professor seems really interesting and the material! the material sounds so, so amazing. gahhhh. i hope the dude playing temple run earlier today in class drops. i’ll be so upset if i don’t get into this class. :/
i also need to figure out my work schedule. that’s seemingly...
back from central cal outreach.
great people, great vibes, great challenge. it was good for me to put myself into situations that make me uncomfortable, particularly public speaking. it was good for me to be exposed to students outside of my bubble and to understand and realize the privileges i come from and how i can recognize these privileges and use them advantageously for others.
it was also really, really great to talk to...
people believe they know the difference between fact and opinion, between different points of views, between ideologies, etc, and how all these things relate to perceptions of right or wrong.
but they don’t. and it can be a very frustrating thing, especially when one decides to take a holier-than-thou/better-than-you type of attitude. it isn’t just one particular side that does it;...

the deal with distance and proximity
it’s hard to live far enough from home that there is no safety net of leaving berkeley to see my family or pre-berkeley friends all that often, or even at all. i know that living close enough to home does not always guarantee that you will go home every weekend, or that you’ll even be able to just randomly up and leave berkeley to be with your parents, but it’s a more likely...

Are you still home with family and friends you have reconnected with?
Do you have parents or aunts/uncles who own a small business that needs help with building new clientele?
Do you want to help fund the 36th Annual Pilipino Cultural Night at UC Berkeley as a cast member, alumni, or community friend?
If you answered YES to any (or all) of the questions...

;___; i have never had to quit a job before (before this, i’ve never even had a job!). i can’t quite pull the plug, but i can’t very well have one foot in the door and one foot out the door. that would be incredibly unfair, especially for a place that i have absolutely loved working at, with very amazing and nurturing people.
i have… a heart! D:
but, on the bright side, i...
