People, I am very happy to announce that I have conquered one of my worst fears.




I have finally., finally ridden THE Space Shuttle of Enchanted Kingdom.

Oh, yeah!!!

Urm... Right. I know it's pathetic that I never went on that ride before, but hey what can I do? I was a coward. A wussy. A first-rate chicken. There, happy now?

BUT. That was then. Hah, I'm not such a scaredy cat anymore. *stands straight and proud (notice I didn't say "tall" because really, I'm not)*

God, that was one hell of a great day last Friday. We shelled out a lot of cash because stuff at EK was friggin' expensive. We had to endure being baked under the sun for hours because we didn't bring umbrellas. We screamed until our lungs were just about to burst because of that heart-stopping Anchors Away. We literally got soaking, no, dripping wet at the Rio de Grande ride and thus we went home with cold and wet pants. Again, what a day.

Woohoo!! I wanna do that again! (and I'm sure my friends would not disagree)













I had another moment of epiphany yesterday. About a certain guy friend of mine. Hmm, make that certain guy friend of mine who thinks of me as his little sister.










Wait, no, I know what you're thinking. Let me get this straight first, okay?

I am not in love with him. I don't even have a crush on him. It's kind of strange I suppose, the way we're so close and yet I don't feel anything of the romantic sort. And it's not because of those cliche reasons where I truly value our friendship blah blah blah...
Nope, definitely not because of those.

And here's where the epiphany comes in. I realized that there are a few things that hold me back from actually falling for him: 1.) As I said, he sees me as a little sister and even treats me as one i.e. conks me on the head and teases me often, etc. 2.) He's too fickle-minded like you wouldn't believe. One minute he likes this girl, the next he moves on to the next available female 3.) His overself-confidence is sometimes just plain ridiculous (contrary to his belief, he is NOT the king of the world). 4.) I'm not his type and he's not mine (although in my case, I could change). 5.) He's still in love with his girl best friend. 'Nuff said.

I could list a few more, but the fifth reason's pretty much sufficient already. The mere fact that he's in love with someone else is enough to keep me at bay. And for that, I'm thankful. Had my heart broken for so many times already I lost count, thank you very much. I don't think I want to add another emotional baggage to the list.

Besides, I'm having far too much fun to give up this kind of independence. Who wants some sort of leash to keep them tied down? Hah! Not me, that's for sure.
