I sent President Obama a letter today.

Hi President Obama, I would like to express my concern regarding the immigration system. I do hope that you can do something about it as soon as possible. I know a lot of people, including myself, who go through the legal process of it but are abused by the system because our employers take advantage of us not being legit green card holders and/or citizens. They do not pay us right, no benefits, verbal abuse, and discrimination. The process takes a looong time and I am disheartened by the fact that people like us who are going through it the right way and are paying taxes are not treated fairly.

I know my story is just one tiny bit of the hundreds out there. I do put my full hope and trust on you that you will be our savior.

I know it's a long shot that you will be able to read this. But I pray to God that you and everyone in the government will be able to hear our little voices.

I appreciate you time sir and I do want to congratulate you for uplifting our spirits by giving us the promise of hope.

Cartilage

I was going to post this on 02/23 but I forgot

I had my ear pierced yesterday.

Implusive.

Although matagal ko nang gusto, hindi ko naman akalain na mangyayari na siya kagabi. Nagpunta lang kami ni kit sa stonewood para maghanap ng dress for em's debut, hanggang napadpad kami sa claire's. Ayun na.

Left ear. Cartilage.

Train to New York

Wow blog! I miss doing this.
Well right now just feels perfect to write something down. I figured that I usually write things when:
1) I feel frustrated
2) I'm extremely happy (only to take into account the memory of that feeling)
3) I don't understand myself

Currently, I am at #3. Maybe it's the weather. It has been gloomy for the most part of the week, which I like actually.

On the more important main point, I am writing because..... (and I really had a pause there to think. I'm totally #3 right now).

....I realized that I am a quiet person. In as much as everyone thinks that I am friendly, exoteric (is there even such a word?? I invented this, to make an antonym for esoteric), active, bubbly, I am deep down inside a quiet person.

OR, and again I am showing how indecisive I am now, I am just looking for peace and quiet now.

Sometimes I just want to be left alone with my bed and tv...and laptop of course, and be away from it all. I do have that attititude of screw-it-leave-me-alone. I want to be involved, but not too involved. I guess I'm simple looking for me-time. I want to hop into a train and head to New York where nobody knows me and I can just be alone. Then enjoy.
