A Memory That Haunted Me

I've had a dream and it took me a while to realize what it was trying to tell me. I broke down into tears this morning and that's when I decided I should write it down into paper - well, into my blog.

My Dream:
I usually take the LRT going to school and going home. And this time, in my dream, the LRT had another station: Inside a mall. I don't know what mall it is as I don't even recognize it. All I know is that the train passes through the ground floor. I head to the mall to board the train when I saw HIM. He greeted me with a smile. Nothing changed about him, except for his hairline - a little bit higher now. But he's still his old self. I went to the ticket booth to get myself a ticket, and he accompanied me.

"Ate, isang V. Mapa po," V. Mapa. was the station I get off when I go home. The ticket vendor gave me TWO tickets, for a price of one. I didn't know why. I asked him, "Bakit dalawa?" I didn't get a reply. The train finally arrived. I stepped in and watched the doors close in front of me - between us. He couldn't get on the train because he didn't have a ticket. Then I realized that I had TWO. I had his ticket.

Realization:
There was this guy whom I fell in love with in my junior year in high school. After months of denial, I knew I finally learned to love him. He told me that he had a crush on me way before we got to meet. He even told me he followed my progress. We had this kind of best friend relationship in school to the point where he asked me "can you be my best friend?" It was kinda awkward that he even asked it. Well, I didn't know people ask someone to be his best friend. I could ask him to go somewhere with me, and he would say yes, almost always. Then about a month later, he and his girlfriend almost broke up. I asked him why. "dahil sayo," he replied. Even though I knew there was sarcasm in it, I knew I felt guilty. He showed me her text message. It was all about him not having time for her anymore or something like that. I realized that he would almost always say yes when I ask for his time. That's why I felt so guilty. Before the year ended he asked me if we could be "together," and I know that even though I loved him, I couldn't say yes. He had a girlfriend. And he had a girlfriend. I know for a fact that he would want a family in the future, and that he would be happier with his girlfriend. There's a lot of things that I couldn't offer that his girlfriend could. I had to say no. Even if it was painful, I knew I had to let him go. That maybe the symbolism of the two tickets. I could have given it to him, making him able to ride the train with me. But I was so numb and didn't. And now that I know that he might be leaving soon, and that we might never see each other again, makes it so painful remembering all of the happy moments we had together. And now, as tears are rolling down my cheek, I know that he would always have a place in my heart, even though he had moved on.

Chapter One

The bell rang and the people started marching along the beige tiles of the corridor. Slowly their footsteps began to fill the whole hallway. I squeezed my way through to my locker where my best friend, Marcus, was waiting for me. He stood around seven feet tall, the tallest in Seaside High, in fact, the tallest in the neighborhood. We've been friends since his family moved in next door and I was practically part of his whole life since then. His hair would always come out a bit frizzy and messy, and his outfit's color combination would often clash. I loved him nonetheless.

"Someone's birthday is coming up," he started "what's the party plan?"

"It's a month away"

"A month, a day, what's the difference really?"

"A whole lot," I just closed my locker and grabbed my keys "So you want a ride home?"

"Can't we just do the old fashioned walking and maybe have some exercise?"

I looked at him. Maybe my eyebrows twitched a little.

"Well, we can go pass the park -" he continued.

"Oh yeah! The park, maybe we can go smell flowers too while we're there,"

"Time of the month?" he stared at me. Disappointed.

"I'm sorry. Exams," I sighed "stress, and some other stuff. Well, you know."

I parked the car in the garage and my mom just welcomed me with a warm smile. Her golden locks just fell an inch below her shoulders. A trait of hers that envied me. I was practically the girl with frizzy hair. Without some moose, my hair would come out a bird's nest. She was wearing her working clothes - a brown v-neck tee with sleeves that were a teeny bit too small, a black skirt that fell an inch below her knee, a blue apron, black doll shoes, and a name tag that read Lucy Cohen, Manager. She worked at Joe's, a restaurant. It's a couple of blocks away from our house. She was working late night shifts and would come home around midnight. I had been used to it. I only got to see her once a day - breakfast. 

"I might be home a little late tonight sweety," she said as she grabbed her coat, "would you be alright by yourself?"

"Mom, it's not like it's the first time you've worked that late,"

"I know, just wanted to make sure. Your birthday's just around the corner and maybe you want some help with the planning. Just you and me, mother-daughter bonding." She smiled "what do you say?"

"That's alright mom, Marcus and Ashlynn would be coming to help with that."

"Alright," her last words as she closed the door. 

The phone rang.

"Hello this is Cohen's Residence," I answered

"Hello Mina. It's Ashlynn," she started "I won't make it. Got something to do."

"Aww," I sighed "well it's okay. My birthday won't be here 'til a month anyway."

"Thanks, love you. Bye" She hang up.

I sprang to my bed and turned on the lamp, illuminating a picture frame just beside it. My mom, sporting a bob cut and wearing a pink blouse, carried me in her arms. Beside her was a man, about a foot taller than my mom. His ashen hair was swept to the side neatly. His face, a little ragged and unshaven. Still, he looked like a celebrity. That's my dad. I used to hold this picture before I sleep. I missed my father. He was now working abroad as an Engineer, and now, he's just someone who missed a lot of important events in my life. I loved him still.

My phone rang.

Hey Mina, my mom won't let me out. I'm caged. A text from Marcus.

I didn't reply. I threw my phone aside.

I changed into my pink pajamas and tossed myself into my bed. I lied down, looking outside the window, hugging my pillow very tight. I was alone. But why do I feel a little scared all of a sudden. I'm used to this. Lumina, you're used to this. But then, my heart began throbbing. A little too loud to keep me awake all night. To supress my fear, I tried to focus my attention on the moon as in dazzles brightly in the night sky. Then I noticed a shadow, growing bigger until it blocked the moonlight from my window. There was someone outside the house. I ran to the window to check who it was, but the shadow ran away. He was heading for the back door! I ran as fast as I could. I raced towards the back door. I locked it immediately. My heart was throbbing harder. Who was it? What does it want from us? A couple of seconds passed when it occured to me to look outside the window just beside me to check if he was there. No sign of him. The front door! The front door wasn't locked. I dashed my way to the front door but I slipped, slamming my chest against the ground. I tried to reach for the door. It was too late. The door opened. A figure stood there. He took a step forward. My insticts led me to him, charging against him, but he got hold of my arms. I closed my eyes and screamed.

Hush Hush book series

My sister and I have been addicted to the "Hush Hush" series of Becca Fitzpatrick. Once you've read a page, you couldn't just put it down. You just HAVE to finish it!

Hush Hush

I was really new to this Vampire-Fallen-Angels thing-o that has been buzzing around lately when I first read this. I usually read mystery, detective-ish novels so I wasn't really sure of what to expect when I first read this. I'm not planning on spoiling major details so I'm gonna have to put it to minimal.

Okay, the story mostly is all about a girl-meeting-the-boy-of-her-dreams cliche but there is a major plus in it. There is something about how Patch Cipriano is described that makes you want more of him. The character itself teases you, seduces you to read more. Well, that's my case. Another plus would be the setting isn't in a normal world - it's in a world where angels, nephilim existed. Yep, this book introduced me to a lot of interesting stuff like Nephils, Chesvan, Fallen Angels and stuff. 

The story is fast-paced so it didn't bore me at all, compared to the other novels where you spent a whole lot of time reading about 10 pages and it's just about the main character doing ONE thing. I mean, come on! And I really loved how the suspense built up to the end. 

Bottom line is: I just loved it! ♥

Crescendo

The story starts off from the events from the last book, and continues on broadcasting the love story of Patch and Nora.

This one has a lot of twists in it I may say. Better twists than the first one. This story, for me, is a character development for Nora Grey, the heroine of the series. It makes you see her as a person. Honestly, I got frustrated at her because of her selfish actions. But that's why I loved it. It's a story wherein the main character wasn't perfect at all. This story brought light to the dark side of the main character that made me understand her more. And with that, you get to have sympathy and love for Nora.

Silence

The third book, and the best one for me.

Honestly speaking, I hated how the first events turned out to be - well simply because I just want a happy story. Ha ha! Well moving on, this has a lot of mystery in it, especially for Nora's case. I loved how it involved more action and suspense. You get to feel the hatred for the antagonist so much.

The thing that made me love this one so much is Patch. Yes, him. Imagine saving your loved one's life in exchange for her memory of you. It's like you're suffering and he/she doesn't even know you exist. How sad is that? How romantic was that?

Like the first book, the suspense built up really well to the end that it left me hanging. Yes, it's the beginning of a war for Nora and Patch's world, and I really want to get to see the results of it. What would happen? Especially..

[Spoiler. Click at your own risk][Hide]
Nora's leading the Nephilim army now, - Patch's kind's enemy - since she's a nephil now. Would they end up fighting against each other? Would they end up teaming up against the archangels? Or what would the archangels' stand be?

The fourth book is, I believe, will be released this Fall ^_^

My Daily Hair Routine

I have been off-track my daily hair routine because of all the stress and the demands in college. But now, I decided to return to my daily hair routine.

Things I don't go inside the bathroom without: [for hair only]

• Baking Soda Solution [every other day]
• Conditioner [everyday]
• Shampoo [once a week]

That's basically it.

Baking Soda Solution
I've done a lot of research on using Baking Soda for the hair. It does have its wonderful uses for the hair. First, it saves your hair from over-conditioning. When you use too much heavy conditioners, the chemicals stack up. That's gonna be hard to remove, and baking soda just does that. Second, it's all natural. Meaning, no side effects on your hair.

I prepare the solution by adding a 1.25 tablespoon of baking soda for every one glass of tap water. I read that the amount would depend on your hair type - whether it be greasy, oily, and it also depends on how curly it is. I store my baking soda solution in a wash bottle.

The undissolved baking soda settles when unused so better shake it before using it.

I pour the solution directly on my scalp. I then massage my scalp to make sure every corner is cleaned.


Conditioner

 When you're using heavy conditioners, always remember that less would be always more. More conditioner might just lead to more frizz and higher chances of over-conditioning your hair.

I just pour large coin size on my palm, rub my hands together, and apply them from the tips, slowly reaching the scalp. I let it stay for about 2-3 minutes in my hair. I soap while I let the conditioner get absorbed by my hair.




I don't really use shampoo that much because shampoo is a detergent, and detergents are harsh on our hair. Every time I use a shampoo, my hair usually gets double frizz. I occasionally use shampoo just for the reason of cleaning my scalp once in a while. Well, I have baking soda doing that duty anyway.


My styling products

• Gatsby Water Gloss/Wet Look
• Brazil Nut Define & No Frizz (The Body Shop)
• Vaseline Total Moisture Lotion

I don't use them all in the same day - just depends on my mood.


After showering, I dry my hair with my previously worn shirt as rubbing my hair with a towel will just encourage frizz to build up once my hair is dry. I crunch my hair with the shirt from the tips to the scalp to increase volume on my hair. Then I use one of my styling products. I've read that the best way to fight frizz is to prepare the hair before it gets dry. So I use these products on my wet hair.


Gatsby Gel

 My hair type's around 2b-2c (wavy). Frizz tendency is really high so I use this to let my hair stand in place. I apply some on my hand, rub them against each other and comb the product evenly on my hair. That's it.

But when I want some more spiral action on my hair, I do use the Skip Curl method using this gel. I apply a small amount on a portion of my hair, then I start twisting my hair (based on the way my hair naturally curls) and then I release it.

Note: Once you're done using a styling product on a portion of your hair, NO TOUCHY!!

Brazil Nut Define & No Frizz

I just love using this on a bad hair day. Lessens the frizz on your hair and adds a very exotic smell on it too. I place a small amount on my palm then I rub my hands together and apply it evenly on my hair. I comb my hair with my hands to neaten it up.



Vaseline Total Moisture

Weird right? But I just researched on this one and found out that body lotion can be used for the hair too. Guess what? Matthew Morrison (Glee) uses a skin lotion on his curls! Link: http://www.bellasugar.com/Matthew-Morrison-Uses-Lubriderm-His-Hair-8879125












That's about it. Comment away! ♥

G-Crush

Right when I thought I wouldn't see him anymore - his cute, kissable lips, his nerdy glasses and his bangs that naturally sway to the side of his face - bam! I saw him. I saw him in the cafeteria. I tried to smile at him but my lips ignored my orders. I saw him, looking. That's where my heart started jumping. Might it be because he remembers me from my "Slave 4 U" performance during camp? :)) =)) Well, I don't know, but it seems he remembers me.

Valentines

Happy Valentines to everyone! ^_^ especially to all those who had their intimate dates today. That, is so not me though. Well, Cupid got lost on his way to our house. Can't blame him. His tiny puffy wings might had been tired already. Well, as usual, I celebrated Singles Awareness Day instead :))

The streets might have been busy with romantic couples walking hand in hand along the sidewalks of the busy street, along the grassy fields of the park, or just out on a romantic dinner; I spent it alone, with my thoughts flung hundreds of meters away from my loveless soul, the same thoughts that had been haunting me these past nights - thoughts about my crushes, about someone who I truly admire which I, myself, deny - A LOT.

RANDOM THOUGHT: I love reading novels, and I truly love the most recent ones I've read: Hush Hush and Crescendo. I'm down to the last book, Silence (won't spoil anything MUCH here, just buy the series and be amazed! O.O) and it kind of bothered me. Isn't it sad to meet someone whom you met and loved before but you couldn't remember anything about him? Isn't it sad that he still protects you no matter what even if the price is you not knowing him AT ALL?

Happy Valentines!

Post-exam Getaway

Well, it was our ChE 101 exam, and I know you guys know it: after a mind-twisting midterm or long exam, it just feels like you want to push your brain's reset button and shut it down for a while - just for a few days even. So, as a therapy, we decided to eat it out and toss it aside.

garlic bread (side dish)

bolognese pasta of Pizza Hut

We ate @ Pizza Hut, Technohub. ^_^ We ordered a family-sized Meat Lovers pizza, and our own 99-peso Saver's Meals. After filling in our gas tanks, we burned them away in Timezone! Hardcore Dance Dance Revolution + Videoke + basketball + MORE Dance Dance Revolution. WHEW! With that, I have no doubt that we forgot that we even had an exam a while ago. :)) *bangs head*

Light Before the Dark

December 2012, the so-called "end of the world" is just around the corner. Months away from now. We might not even realize it coming. 

Everything became a mystery: how the world became to exist; how the world changed; how humans evolved or how humans were created. Every piece of life, every second of it, is a sparkle amidst the great ocean of darkness the world has become. Every bit of life became a ray of hope, but thinking that all of this, everything we know, will come to an end - months from now. I'm not saying that I believe the Mayan calendar. I'm not saying I want the world to end. But what if? The biggest question we can ask is "what if it's true?" Are we ready?

I'm not ready to see the earth splitting, the sky falling, the ground shaking, everything built strong and tall crumbling to their knees. I'm not ready for something fatal that nothing is certain. Nothing at all. Who would survive? What comes after? I'm not ready to face the end. I'm just not ready. My life, as I know it, has just yet to begin. I haven't LIVED.

I have been isolating myself - a lot - from the world. I have been busy with myself. I just came to realize after asking myself "what if the world will really end this December?" that why not enjoy this life, this world, while I still have it? There's nothing to lose right? There are so many books that will remain unread, so many treasures unclaimed, so many souls yet to meet, so many goals yet to achieve. But with only so little time left, will there be time to do all of that? Why not go outside, enjoy the restless souls around you and whatnot meet them and be friends? Why not go outside in the fields of green, relax and feel the embrace of nature? I haven't started living yet, but I know I need to wake up and live every single day to the fullest - like my last day. Everything's not permanent, so why not get a grasp of it while it's still there? I'm dead right now, but I know... I need to start living someday.

New Pokemon Cards

When I got the chance to go to Robinsons Galleria, I didn't miss my chance to check out Courtside. It's a hobby store where regular Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh! tournaments were being held. I bought a HS Triumphant Pokemon booster pack and a singles card.

 The Klingklang I bought from their singles collection. Bought it for 60php. Well, I think it's worth it because of the Charge Beam (30) attack's effect and a whopping 80 damage from that Zap Cannon. I actually wanted to buy the rare Klingklang with the Ability: Gear Shift (if I remember it right). It allows the user to transfer the energy cards of any pokemon in play to another pokemon in play. But that costs 150php, and I may have to save up on that one. But for now, this will do.

I know, Victreebel kicks ass in this one! :))

Resident Evil 6

Here's the story so far:

It has been ten years since the Raccoon City incident and the President of the United States has decided to reveal the truth behind what took place in the belief that it will curb the current resurgence in bioterrorist activity. Due to be by the President’s side is his personal friend and Raccoon City survivor, Leon S. Kennedy, but when the venue suffers a bioterrorist attack, Leon is forced to face a President transformed beyond recognition and make his hardest ever decision. At the same time, Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance member Chris Redfield arrives in China, itself under threat of a bioterrorist attack. With no country safe from these attacks and the ensuing outbreaks, the entire world’s population is united by a common fear that there is no hope left.

In United States - the President is about to come clean over bioterrorism when he himself mutates into a zombie. Later, Leon is informed by Hunnigan that a town has been overrun, some 70,000 people.

Chris Redfield and the BSAA are in a war-torn China. Chris is seen arguing with a teammember about an unidentified woman responsible for the deaths of many BSAA agents. It is also known that there are bioterrorist attacks taking place at random all over the world.

 New in Gameplay:

The ability to dual-wield certain weapons is being implemented by Capcom, as evident by Leon holding two handguns in the January announcement trailer.

Trailer:


Okay, so there are new characters then. I think they're taking the "reboot"ing thing serious. But Chris without Jill? o.O And the bald guy, where the new girl said "The world needs you,", then he replied "Not me, my blood." Does that mean he has the antivirus running through his blood? And I think the girl is the reincarnation(LOL) of Rebecca Chambers. But still, I want my Jill Valentine!

RE: Retribution INFO

You can watch the promo/trailer here: http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi4042498329/

From what I could see, the movie's gonna be action packed. Giant tyrants chasing them off, apocalypse, and stuff. But what surprised me was the appearance of Michelle Rodriguez. Yes I know she would be returning to reprise her role as Rain Ocampo. If you could all remember, she turned into a zombie in the first RE movie after minutes of getting bitten. So I was expected to see her a zombie this time. But no! If you watched the trailer, she's purely HUMAN!! Well I believe she's cloned. Here's the proof:

Q: We talked to Oded Fehr a little bit earlier and he was saying how you're playing a dual role in this movie and how you're defying your usual roles and playing that up a bit. Can you talk more about that?

A: Yeah, that was fun. Well, basically Paul's original idea was that a UPS worker would be one of the clones and then we got together and we started to brainstorm and we came up with this juxtaposition of me playing a tomboy all the time and he said, "wouldn't it be nice to see you feminine, Michelle?" And I was like, "yes, that would be nice before it all wrinkles up and I can't use it anymore." So I figured I'd might as well do it. I threw on some high heels, added a nice little 'hippy twist' to the whole thing and before you know it, I'm driving a Prius in "zombieland." It was pretty cool.

Q: What are some of the challenges of oscillating back and forth between "Good Rain" and "Bad Rain"?

A: You know, I find it kind of fun because I've played the same character for so long that it's kind of like I am always an exaggerated version of my angry side. I'm so comfortable with her that it was kind of cool and fun to play something awkward and different- someone who is quirky and doesn't know how to handle a gun and someone who is curious. I kind of feel like an audience member while playing that character because I'm like "what the hell is going on here? Why are you dressed like a superhero? How come there are dead people walking around on the streets?"

Source: http://www.dreadcentral.com/news/51856/set-visit-interview-michelle-rodriguez-talks-resident-evil-5-upcoming-fast-furious-6-and-

So she's gonna play "Good Rain" and "Bad Rain". And woooooot! I can finally see Michelle Rodriguez playing girly girly again! :)

We also get to see Ada Wong, Leon Kennedy, Barry Burton (RE1), and yes, JILL VALENTINE. Can't wait to see her being bad and kick-ass.

Sienna Guillory's (Jill Valentine) Interview:

I know the fights are more complex for this one, like how much more physicality do you get to do?
 Guillory: So much more. This fight sequence is over 200 moves which is like longer than a fight sequence in The Bourne Identity was. It’s immense. It was brilliant and I’ve been working on it every day since we got here and I’m very happily whittling away too. It’s a very beautiful fight and it’s all sorts of- well, they’re trying to incorporate things that have never been done before with weapons that haven’t been done already and using aerial moves- it is quite poetic actually.

The opening move is one of Jill Valentine’s melee moves where she throws herself up in the air and spins around, then lands and kicks guns around, then flips and goes into a beautiful fight that evolves into just a brutal, nasty fist fight which is kind of great.

Tell us where Jill has been since Apocalypse because she’s seemed to have undergone a transformation of sorts.

Guillory: Well, in the game she’s been captured by Wesker and he’s put the boob-ament (the spider) on which controls her. There’s actually, for someone who’s completely inept at these things- well, I’m not very good at video games. So you can watch all the movie moments of Jill’s on YouTube and you can really see her, feel her and get a sense of who she is and what her story is. And there are these moments where they finally de-scarab her and she says ‘you know, I was aware of everything I was doing but I couldn’t do anything to stop it.’ So this kind of an indication that she’s in this inner turmoil, which I think is kind of great and I’m glad we’ve got places here where we can play with that. But here we are where Jill is under Umbrella control and she’s the baddie.

Gravy Fix!

My friends and I agreed to go to Gravy Fix along Katipunan after our CWTS class. Gravy Fix's specialty would be their varying types of gravy you can order along with the food. They got Home Style Gravy, Herb and Garlic, Cajun, Mushroom Duet, Tipsy Gravy, Juan de la Sarsa(?). We agreed on getting three different types of gravy and then we'll try each other's. The waitress smilingly approached us, with her khaki polo and apron, and said that gravy refills are FREE!!!. We could even get another gravy if we ask for a refill. So that sparked an idea - us getting a refill and asking for a another type of gravy til we tasted them all. :)

Judges: Me, Carla Buenaflor, and Audrey Raposa :)) =))

▓▓▒▒░░ Gravy #1: Home Style Gravy ░░▒▒▓▓
Okay this would be like the basic gravy they have.
If you like some simple-tasting, delicious gravy,
this is the one for you!
[[Audrey's fave]]

▓▓▒▒░░ Gravy #2: Cajun ░░▒▒▓▓
This one is filled with spices mixed together in a
very tasty gravy. The flavors are rich and they
blend in good. As I said, this is like Bollywood
edition LOL. Nah, just reminds me of the spices
they use in Saudi Arabia


▓▓▒▒░░ Gravy #3: Herb and Garlic ░░▒▒▓▓
This one produces a bland, but unique taste. If you're
not into flavorful dips, this one is for you.


▓▓▒▒░░ Gravy #4: Tipsy Gravy ░░▒▒▓▓
We actually didn't order this one a while ago as
my friends and I have already tried this once. It's
a gravy with red wine in it. I'm not sure, but I
don't think I like the taste of gravy and red wine
together. Maybe it's just me. If you want gravy
and alcohol together, then woot this one is for you!

▓▓▒▒░░ Gravy #5: Mushroom Duet ░░▒▒▓▓
We actually looked at the ingredients and found out
that this one contained a kind of wine. But the wine-y
flavor didn't actually shine as it blended greatly with
the mushroom-y part of the gravy.
[[my personal fave]]
[[Audrey's Fave]]

▓▓▒▒░░ Gravy #6: Juan de la Sarsa(?) ░░▒▒▓▓
Pinoy style gravy! Yeah!! But really, it's a gravy with
Mang Tomas. Still tastes sweet and good though ^_^

Fireworks

A particle of light flies through the night sky like stars rushing to meet the moon. They bloom into flowers of color and light. Flowers that roar thought the quiet night. Flowers growing, nearing enough to devour you.  Flashes of blue, red, yellow and white fill the sad dark night sky with party lights. I just really do think fireworks are very romantic.

Imagine lying down on a green grassy hill, with your girl/boyfriend lying right next to you. You can feel the warmth of their body and breath and their soft hands laying on yours. The night sky becomes a huge screen of art and romance as the colors dance through the night. You seem them stare you, smiling as your hands clamp onto each other. Imagine the lovely view with a lovely company.

One day, when I get to know my soulmate. We would definitely do this. Not on a grassy hill, but definitely we'd have a date on a fireworks display.

What Do Dreams Tell You?

I keep dreaming every single night, weird, funny, awesome dreams. I see it fascinating to meet familiar faces in my dreams. But what sometimes is scary is that meeting unfamiliar, strangers in your dreams.

One night I had a nightmare that I still carry until now. A nightmare that would be hard to forget. A nightmare that broke me into pieces of shattered glass, hammered by fear and worry.

It was all white. EVERYTHING was white. I thought I was dead - probably in heaven I thought. No sound and nothing but bare emptiness. I felt alone for a little while until I notice a little girl probably wearing a truffle skirt that fell inches under her knees and a yellow tank top. She stopped in front of me, her body still facing her direction. Then she looked at me - with her black orbs of mystery, with her face as blank as the place. What was she looking at? Then suddenly, people started walking left and right, intersecting with my line of vision. And as they come across my sight, the stopped for a while and looked at me. Some heads tilted and some heads straight. Why are they staring at me? What do I even look like right now? The fear punched through my heart like daggers of death and suffering. I felt my legs kick back and forth as I try to awake myself but I couldn't. That was until my mom had shaken me to my consciousness again.

Dreams like those or happy dreams. What do they mean? Their meanings have intrigued me a lot. Were the events in the dreams are literally their portrayed meaning? But then again, my mom once told me that some dreams mean the opposite especially bad dreams or nightmares. But what if they're warnings? The question still remains in my head until now. Even with a little research, I still don't know what to think about dream interpretations.
