Well, I would not really call it reflecting, it was more of...thinking (It's very easy to get distracted when you're reading a textbook). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;And so I feel that those random thoughts would be a sufficient come back post for my dear 'ol blogspot.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul  style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;Over the course of years and months, I have transformed into something I used to criticize and look down on. &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" &gt;Let the bloody red toenails be the judge.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;But when I think about it, there isn't anything wrong with painting your nailbeds. It is, after all, yours. It is a way of expressing oneself. It is one's freedom, one's choice. Rainbow fingernails do not mean that a person is a Filipina version of Cerie, neither do black ones mean that she is a rebel out to ruin everyone's life.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;My happiness is up to me&lt;/span&gt;, not to anyone else, but to me. It's funny because I always say that to people and yet I forget.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51); font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" &gt;Obstetrics is a difficult subject.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Yes, it took me one scanning over my 2 borrowed Pillitteri books to realize that.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;It's always always better to be safe than sorry.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sometimes&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;denial is a way of survival.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;My PHC book (courtesy of Lester) is still untouched and unopened.&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; It needs TLC STAT&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I am not a pathetic girl who would lament over someone not liking her. If you don't like me, fine, I don't give a shit. &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 255, 255); font-weight: bold;"&gt;My people pleaser days are over.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I really really really &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;want a polaroid&lt;/span&gt;. I hope a kind heart out there reads this. You can PM me and ask for my address. LOL.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I hate cheese flavored Piattos.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I have been stagnant. I haven't been growing and learning new and interesting stuff. I will try to change that. .... Well, that doesn't mean I have to start now now, does it?;p&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;It's not that I hate drama. &lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 255, 153); font-weight: bold;"&gt;I just hate all the pains that accompany it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sometimes, it's easy to forget when you put your mind to it.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;But it's easier when you have distractions.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204); font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" &gt;I love sarcasm.&lt;/span&gt; How did I ever forget?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;I am a free lancer.&lt;/span&gt; No one, I repeat, no one gets to decide over what I should or shouldn't do. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(Well, maybe for some instances, fine, most instances, my mother does. But for the sake of this post, let's forget that for a while)&lt;/span&gt; For that, I am grateful.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;And so I am ending this post since it's 10:00 and I haven't studied yet. I will stand firm and hold my ground on this one. I hope I don't stumble.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;As for my toes, they're at their natural state at the moment.

A little bird inside the church. I thought it was attacking people and I wanted it to attack me so I could have the chance to catch it. But all that notion vanished when it nestled on a table a few chairs in front of where I was seated. It was a little birdie. It wasn't attacking people. It was a little birdie who still didn't know how to fly well. It looked a little lost too. I found it strange that he was learning how to fly inside a church. But then, I thought, what better place?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#ffffff;"&gt;It then went on top of the confession barrier [you know, that little wall which separates you from the priest while you tell him your deepest darkest regrets in life]. It stayed there all throughout the eucharist. I know it's bad but I couldn't take my eyes off the little birdie. I wasn't able to catch what the priest was saying because my eyes were glued and my mind was racing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#ffffff;"&gt;I find it fascinating that a little bird knows where to go when it feels lost and weak. Maybe he didn't really mean to go to the House of God, maybe it was all coincidence, but it's nice to think that a little bird like him knew where to go. It makes us, humans, seem more lost than he is.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#ffffff;"&gt;I think, for what it costs, we should take a hint from that little birdie.

I see the best in people but I also see their flaws. But right now I am an optimist. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:100%;color:#66ff99;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:100%;color:#66ff99;"&gt;I admire a lot of people particularly celebrities. Some would think it very shallow but when you are in front of the television or in the cinemas almost all of your free time, you would know what I mean. There's Kate Beckinsale for her multilingual accent, Mery Streep for the way she speaks, Ellen Page and Miley Cyrus for their amazing achievements at such a young age, Julia Roberts for simply being the way she is [lol], Britney Spears for being alive even when almost everyone is kicking her ass, Mother Teresa of Calcutta for being able to do all the things she did while she was alive, if you knew me you would know there's more from where that came from.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:100%;color:#66ff99;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:100%;color:#66ff99;"&gt;But casting aside all of these glamorous and well-known people, there are also real actual can-be-touched-with-my-bare-hands-without-the-possibility-of-being-on-the-tabloids individuals whom I admire. Ever since I could remember, I've gathered up the names of the individuals who have in some way influenced who I am. I've never said it to them out loud. Of course I will never admit that, or I might if I'm intoxicated. But now I have a whole new bunch of people to add on my list and I would like to give them the proper recognition, even if they really won't be recognized. I'm sure they'll know if it was them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:100%;color:#66ff99;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:100%;color:#66ff99;"&gt;She's the epitome of royalty. As far as I know she isn't blue-blooded but you'll be surprised of how noble this girl can be. She has her own set of values and stick by them. She's well known but still knows how to mingle with the masses. I guess that's how she became well known in the first place. She's smart althougth at times she has doubts of her own capabilities. Guys of all ages admire her, and girls idolize her. It seems at first look that she has everything a girl could ask for. But hey, you'll never know. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Courier New;font-size:100%;color:#66ff99;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:100%;color:#66ff99;"&gt;A person of her own. She's one who you cannot mess with. She may be strange and weird but she knows who she is, what she wants and how to get them. A person of very high intelligence, that would be her! She may look like a little kid but all of that notion would fly with the wind once you get to talk to her. She is very mature and knows mature stuff more than your average freshie. She's cute and charming. This marionette could talk for hours and you'll find yourself mesmerized by her.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Courier New;font-size:100%;color:#66ff99;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:100%;color:#66ff99;"&gt;A true gentleman. He can be annoying sometimes but you can't help but notice his genuine likeness in helping people. May it be in cleaning, tests, money, he is always there for everyone. Oh, especially with papers. He is a person who is always all ears but who has his own drama to bitch. He is also a clever one. You can see him writing furiously on his notebook or listening eagerly at the teacher. He has confessed of having two sides and personally, I like this childlike side better.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Courier New;font-size:100%;color:#66ff99;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:100%;color:#66ff99;"&gt;Creative, spunky and downright frank, that would be this girl. She sometimes goes along peer pressure [fyi: it's positive pressure] but it all molded her into what she is right now. Because of her stylish and cosmopolitan look people would not regard her as a devout but she is. She is also very smart although she can be sidetracked at times. She has a very bubbly personality who believes in waiting for the right moment. She's true to herself and her friends and everyone else around her.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Courier New;font-size:100%;color:#66ff99;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:100%;color:#66ff99;"&gt;She has a lot of things going for her. She's the top of her class [as far as I know], close to God and very nice. I don't know her that much but what I do know of her is enough for me to admire her. She doen't let teenage pressure get to her. She doesn't conform; she looks for her own voice. A good daughter, a helpful friend and a faithful servant, what more could you ask for?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Courier New;font-size:100%;color:#66ff99;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:100%;color:#66ff99;"&gt;Brain on heels. Looking for a savvy ingenious lady? This would be your girl. She's quick-witted, pretty, and very down-to-earth. If there's anyone who would not boast of her acheivements, who would just shrug off all the teases and praises people give, that would be her. She's funny and knows how to be good friend and have a good time. Very responsible too, may I add. A really good catch for all the deserving guys out there. But she's a good daughter who puts studies first. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:100%;color:#66ff99;"&gt;My mind is about to burst with all the positive things I've written. It's like rewriting the freaking yearbook. Yeah, pessimism hits me again. There are more people I admire but I'm not in my right mind to write nice fluffy stuff anymore. Oh, and those local celebrities up there have flaws too but since I'm being all nice and optimistic, the good ones are what has been typed in here. Besides, they are all generally good people. They are my friends, aren't they?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:100%;color:#66ff99;"&gt;**I would be adding people on this list from time to time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/801809476025573635-4053506956248380172?l=myhotaru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myhotaru.blogspot.com/feeds/4053506956248380172/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=801809476025573635&amp;postID=4053506956248380172' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/801809476025573635/posts/default/4053506956248380172'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/801809476025573635/posts/default/4053506956248380172'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myhotaru.blogspot.com/2008/03/local-celebrities.html' title='local celebrities'/><author><name>StrangeBird</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11485255807350554413</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_aIZu4aepSK8/R7ftltCwWVI/AAAAAAAAACc/kJnJcmscA7I/S220/KARMA.jpg'/></author><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801809476025573635.post-8849724454532003764</id><published>2008-03-01T23:26:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-03-02T00:31:39.399-08:00</updated><title type='text'>What if God was one of us?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff99;"&gt;About two thosand years ago [I'm not good with facts] people were all in denial that the Mesiah has finally arrived. Except for a handful of people, they were all condemning Jesus for claiming that He is the son of God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is now 2008. The prophesized apocalypse did not and has not happened yet. But things have happened, like the super typhoons, destruction of the Twin Towers, global warming, the list goes on. We might feel at times that God isn't around, that He's just some fictitious character created by mankind to hide a deep secret. If this is the case, how can we explain us being here right now at this moment? Science may have logical explanations but what governs science? Wouldn't you feel empty to realize that this is all there is to living? That what we have right now is all we have and that there's nothing more? Wouldn't that make our lives here on Earth meaningless?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The wrong person was nailed on the cross. They say it saved humanity. This heroic act is written in the bible, it's in the prayers, it'a all but voiced out almost all the days of our lives and you would think people would be more careful from then on. But they still walk on the street like they own it, like there's no greter deity than they. But what if Jesus is yet again walking the same street you walk on to? What if He is that old man who smiled at you or that little girl with those bright eyes looking at everything around her? What if He's the beggar on the side of the street or the rich lady teeming with jewelry inside her ritzy Mercedez?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We'll never know, would we? But that doesn't mean we should just let what happened two thousand years ago happen again. History shouldn't repeat itself especially not this history. So I say be kind to everyone you meet. Be genuine all the time [well, not all the time 'coz there are times that we have to put a face for the best of things]. But what I'm trying to say is God works in mysterious ways so it's better if we just try to be nice and helpful to all our brothers and sisters and do our best in all the things we do since we don't know what goes on in His mind. And since it's what He wants us to do, to be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God may be amongst us, or He may be all of us. After all, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;God is in everything He made.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/801809476025573635-8849724454532003764?l=myhotaru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myhotaru.blogspot.com/feeds/8849724454532003764/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=801809476025573635&amp;postID=8849724454532003764' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/801809476025573635/posts/default/8849724454532003764'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/801809476025573635/posts/default/8849724454532003764'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myhotaru.blogspot.com/2008/03/about-two-thosand-years-ago-im-not-good.html' title='What if God was one of us?'/><author><name>StrangeBird</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11485255807350554413</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_aIZu4aepSK8/R7ftltCwWVI/AAAAAAAAACc/kJnJcmscA7I/S220/KARMA.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801809476025573635.post-5472498832711551137</id><published>2008-02-25T06:54:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-26T05:16:02.645-08:00</updated><title type='text'>postmortem blues</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;color:#ccffff;"&gt;Where have all my aspirations gone?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;color:#ccffff;"&gt;Have they flown away just like the birds in the sky? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;color:#ccffff;"&gt;Have they been washed away by the pouring rain? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;color:#ccffff;"&gt;Have they ran away along with all the principles and beliefs I held on to when I was young and naive?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;As I sit here and type away on my keyboard I can't help but realize how different I was a year ago...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffcc;"&gt;A year ago I wouldn't have settled for anything just because I have no other choice.

This physical facade was nothing compared to the battle in progress inside my system. Butterflies of all kinds were dueling their way out while I tried my hardest not to burst into tears at the soon anticipated end of my academe years.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#66ffff;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;As I contemplated my next move, a glimpse of the paper nestled on the desk next to mine caught my attention and somehow the clean filled out sheet brought out buried insecurities within me.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#66ffff;"&gt;Yes, before all the greed for instant answers there is that self pity that goes way beyond the person's inability to think and come up for the answers. You see, all the childhood fears and self doubts begin rushing out and somehow lowers a person's self esteem. All of this because of a person's impotence to answer the damn test questions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#66ffff;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;When the panic starts forming in my gut, I decided to ask for the unknown answers from my (apparently) genius seat mate.&lt;/em&gt; During these times, whenever answers are given, there seems to be an unwritten deal between the giver and asker. You (as the asker) have to lend a hand if a help is needed by the other (the giver). It's an obligation you have to fulfill since the giver “helped” you out, you have to do the exact same thing. You OWE him that. But this is actually pretty okay since a deuce takes place and you would not have to feel guilty anymore. You do not have any debt to pay the "genius one". You're even. :) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#66ffff;"&gt;The mere asking for the answer is actually a pretty hard task, not only because getting caught by the teacher is inevitable but also because you are also proving to others, as well as to yourself, that you, indeed, do not know the answer and pretty much do not know anything. This is again another question of lowering your self esteem. Talk about deflating a person's ego.&lt;br /&gt;So, as you can see, cheating is not what it all cut out to be. All bad things have a background history so you better see all sides of the story before lashing that sharp tongue of yours. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#66ffff;"&gt;I know, I know, just study so that you won't have this problem in the first place, right? Well, dearie, this brings out another set of insecurities you know. How would you admit to yourself that you are actually really as stupid as you think you are? So, the not studying thing? It's just a defense mechanism so that you will not have to admit the fact that you are really an idiot. Cheaters have a lot of issues, don't they?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#66ffff;"&gt;So please spare people the emotional turmoil of self doubt and just lower your arm, make your handwriting larger and more eligible, tip your paper a little on the left. Yes, that's it. After all, you don't want to live forever with the guilt that you're the cause of your friend's breakdown, do you?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/801809476025573635-8204904394039745436?l=myhotaru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myhotaru.blogspot.com/feeds/8204904394039745436/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=801809476025573635&amp;postID=8204904394039745436' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/801809476025573635/posts/default/8204904394039745436'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/801809476025573635/posts/default/8204904394039745436'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myhotaru.blogspot.com/2008/02/rhetorics-of-cheater.html' title='Rhetorics of a Cheater'/><author><name>StrangeBird</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11485255807350554413</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_aIZu4aepSK8/R7ftltCwWVI/AAAAAAAAACc/kJnJcmscA7I/S220/KARMA.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801809476025573635.post-2473509495605917703</id><published>2008-02-17T01:43:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-18T19:32:51.116-08:00</updated><title type='text'>nostalgia</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(192, 192, 192);"&gt;It's still raining.

/&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 255);"&gt;And when was happy &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 255);"&gt;So was i &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:

left alone &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 255);"&gt;Still i waited for the day &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 255);"&gt;When she'd say "I will always love you" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 255);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 255);"&gt;Lonely and forgotten &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 255);"&gt;Never thought she'd look my way &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 255);"&gt;She smiled at me and held me just like she used to do &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 255);"&gt;Like she loved me &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 255);"&gt;When
