the happiest place on earth


IT'S DECEMBER! IT'S FREAKIN DECEMBER!

yay. just felt i had to say that. december is the month i truly love. and i felt that it would be proper to greet the start of a month with an entry, even though it's four days late.

that GK talk- highlight of the week. well it's not like I haven't helped out in GK. But the speaker was effing convincing. Everyone had a one second crush on him i think ( i guess it was partly because he was an amboy, excuse me for the term) I like going there actually, and I ultimately love the idea of 1MB (which is isang milyong bayani) woohoo. I feel so lucky to be a kid. I mean a member of the youth.
let's do this guys.
rebuild the philippines.

okay, so i've been busy with the groups i've joined/ am in, and i like it.

i've been doing graphics for band-aid (tickets for mini band-aid, which looked a bit crappy because it was photocopied), band-aid back drop for the elims (about to be tarpaulin-ed), poster for come together mini band-aid, which i really hope you schoolmates watch (it's gonna be one hell of a show! or not. maybe i'm just being optimistic. nvm), then there's practice for the surprise number and A Hard Day's Night (which will ironically take place during noon) practices which haven;t started yet. There's the song writing thing in CL and Music, the PROSEC journal, TEENSTAR, and lots of projects that's still keeping me busy.

Plus, I have to catch up with Physics (my lowest grade in the card. oh the shame)

I'm not complaining though. I actually like coming home late. The only downside is less time for homework and rest, but whatever.

anyway. i just happened to stumble upon our "travel memorabillia about to be fixed in the (near-but not quite) future" pile and found an old brochure of Disneyland and quickly opened it to my excitement.

I suddenly remembered when we first went to Disneyland Calif. It was years and years ago, Christmas time too. As a kid of the Philippines who only got to see Star City during childhood days, Disney was my paradise. I was overwhelmed with just about everything, from the rides, to the large mascots, to Disney merchandise. As I walked the streets filled with kids and grown-ups alike, all of whom wore fascinated faces, I felt alive.

Figuratively, of course.

Of course, I tried to ride all the rides that would accept me in their height requirement (since Iwas so small then) with much anticipation, minding fear the least bit. I remember those large teacups which went round and round and round made me so dizzy I almost puked, but of course I didn't since even as a young kid, I knew when and when not to make a fool of myself.

In a world of violence and treachery, here's a little piece of heaven within the OC- the fulfillment of everyone's dreams both young and old. The perfect world of idealism which I though have never existed.

"To all who come to this happy place – welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, dreams and the hard facts that have created America… with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world."

And it is true. Even though before, all that mattered to me was getting autographs of the different Disney characters in big mascots, I still felt that everything I haven't and will never see in this lifetime, I saw there in Disneyland.
No matter if the dreams stand there as metal, foam, plastic and other synthetic materials you can think of, but it is a dream.
No one can change that fact.

Yes, we have Star Cities and Enchanted Kingdoms here in the Philippines were the rides are all brown and rusty (and you have to say a little prayer before you do ride in them, in case the worst happens), and they might momentarily ease the need to see something bigger and better than what we see everyday. But still, no one can deny that kids and adults alike all over the world fly over to USA to see the highly acclaimed place to be.
And all of them leave starry-eyed and feeling wonderful.

This is why Disneyland is truly the happiest place on Earth.

Of course, in these times when no one can even afford to dilly-dally and fly from one place to another, I guess EK would do.
For now.

Cheers.

Devious and Twisted,

Therese

face it, sucko.

i'm the hero of fools.

all quoted.

"The sad truth is that the truth is sad."

"It's amazing how people are always willing to listen to a man in a funny costume"

"People don't always get what they deserve in this world"

"You can not be a supermodel."

"I'm beginning to think that washing my face is a complete waste of time"

"Most women would rather be Cindy Crawford than Marie Curie"

"The world is a harum scarum place."

"If a guy is witty, charming and artistic, he is probably gay."

"Fate is like a strange, unpopular restaraunt, filled with odd waiters who bring you items you never asked for and don't always like."

"In relationships, it is best to assume nothing."

"Not only am I very intelligent, but I am also very smart."

"Hey, I heard your friend died"

"Yea"

"Well, don't feel bad. He's an old guy, and that's what old guys do. They DIE."

"Certain things they should stay the way they are.You ought to be able to stick them in one of those big glass cases and just leave them alone. I know it's impossible but it's too bad anyway."

"I remember how, a couple of days ago, you and I killed a couple of hours with a computer game. Perhaps the game amused me more than it did you; I desperately needed a little respite from all my thoughts. But each time we 'died' in that game, a new screen immediately came up, and we were off again. How can we know that there isn't a 'new screen' for our souls as well? I don't think there is, I really don't. But the dream of something unlikely has its own special name. We call it hope."

blasto fasto. congratulations, reader, you've clicked the scroll button long enough to have reached the part that nobody dares to reach. now buzz off.
