so i got this from the golden compass' official site and it had me thinking, wouldn't it be really cool to actually have your own daemon? it sounds something like pokemon but unlike ash's motto where 'you gotta catch em all,' in golden compass' universe, each of these creatures are bound to their respective masters. so what exactly is a daemon? well according to the guide its the soul of each individual human being embodied in an animal familiar. In childhood, a daemon alters its form to reflect the ever-changing nature of children. In adulthood, it assumes a permanent form that best reflects the inner nature of its human.
i'm not exactly sure why i'm so worked up about all this but the thought of having a talking pet/familiar intrigues me... they'll really come in handy during those sleepless nights when you desperately need someone to talk to. and who better to converse with than the very embodiment of your soul right? i wish i had my very own daemon, in the form of a tiger or a lion so i can have it terrorize my enemies. *blank stare* there i go again, fantasizing. enough.
now, let me get to something thats more in touch with real life. real being harsh, dull, monotonous, and what have you. so i never got a call or email from that-friggin'-company. nada! last i heard from them was last week when they told me they'll contact me anytime this week but it's almost friday and there's still no word from them. no nothing! i think i kept my hope up for far too long its time to move on, right? moving on... just like with many other things in my life. live and let go. arrrrr... i dont want to turn this into cheese-fest. :P here's my stop. to better days! cheers!

Be clearer about what you can do for the people who are asking for your help.
It's time for you to be clearer about what you can (and cannot) do for the people in your life who are asking for your help. This applies to both your personal and business life, but it's much more relevant to work right now. Some people might be asking you to do things that they have plenty of time to do themselves. You always assume the best of people, but not everyone deserves this generosity.

aha! tumpak! tis all! :P
Triumph, Victory, Overcoming Obstacles.
The chariot is one of the most complex cards to define. On its most basic level, it implies war, a struggle, and an eventual, hard-won victory. Either over enemies, obstacles, nature, the beasts inside you, or to just get what you want. But there is a great deal more to it. The charioteer wears emblems of the sun, yet the sign behind this card is the moon. The chariot is all about motion, and yet it is often shown as stationary. It is a union of opposites, like the black and white steeds. They pull in different directions, but must be (and can be!) made to go together in one direction. Control is required over opposing emotions, wants, needs, people, circumstances; bring them together and give them a single direction, your direction. Confidence is also needed and, most especially, motivation. The card can, in fact, indicate new motivation or inspiration, which gets a stagnant situation moving again.
What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.
If you start feeling restless today, distract yourself by hanging out with friends.
Don't be concerned if you start feeling quite restless today -- the stars say that there are a lot of good things coming your way soon, and your subconscious can sense them. You're getting impatient -- even though you don't know what you're impatient about! You can spend your day imagining what these good things could be. Or you can distract yourself with work and let the surprise unfold as the universe wants it to unfold.

ain't that grand? it's been a long wait... :D
"I want to believe that it is wonderful to be free. Free again. Ready to find my one true love, who is waiting for me and who will never allow me to experience such humiliation again."
what if i asked why you pull me along?
will you give me the answer i badly want to hear?
what if i never gave you that nth chance?
would it have made any difference?
what if i'll leave all of a sudden?
will it make you think of what you've lost?
what if our paths never crossed?
would it have made me any less unhappy?
it could have been a month or a year but i gave up long before i realized that i wanted it to stay...
still the world turns
Today, push things into a decidedly more romantic realm. It's up to you.
If things have been getting silly instead of serious between you and another person, today is the day to push things into a decidedly more romantic realm. If you want things to grow, you will have to nurture them. Surround yourself with candlelight, soft music and exotic fragrances -- and dress in an outfit that you know will get you noticed. Create a comfortable situation that is conducive to talking about your feelings and talking about where to go next.

romantic my arse. put me up next for the firing squad. pffft...
I have no idea what I’d do with my life. No job, no purpose, no direction, no goal, no aim. Nada! Back when I was a kid, I could easily say that I’d be a paleontologist but look at me now! I couldn’t even see myself in a year’s time. Pffft! Nothing excites me anymore. I keep on ‘chilling’ and looking for ‘adventure’ to the point that it’s become darn too predictable. I’ve even sworn off my quick fix, drinking coz I’ve been at it non-stop. I’m telling you, there comes a point when not even that could better the feeling of ‘blankness.’ My life is so mundane. My life is so uninspiring. Oh wait! I don’t have a life… it’s that simple. What am I here for anyway? Hohum… But still, thank God for allowing me to survive the dreadful year that was 2006. Thank YOU!
And there’s also my dismal lurvelife. Demn! Most of my friends might not know this but I’ve been fretting over lurve for the past year. And there’s still no sign of Cupid! But lo and behold! My good friend Angel finally found herself a boyfriend! Hahaha… I can’t forget how we (classmates) used to tease her, “manigulang jud kang walay uyab Gel! Single for life!” And looky now, she even has “Til I met you, I never knew what love was” as her shout out. Demn! I guess our Kung Ako Nalang Sana deal’s off, eh Gel? It’s cool coz I still have a few contracts at hand. Hahaha… I know Cupid’s just fluttering about purposefully missing the arrows aimed at me or maybe he couldn’t find it amongst the pile of arrows reserved for the other hopefuls. And there’s also the chance that one’s already sticking out of my chest but I’ve been refusing to admit it. Who knows? Hahaha… I’ll just get crazier the more I think about this. Ambot!
It’s been so long and I still feel like I’m only around whenever you need a good kick. But when it’s my turn to be sated, you never deliver. I don’t know why I keep on keeping on when the best you could give me are silly imaginings. How did you even manage to slip past my defenses?
I never thought I'd be too agreeable, too convenient. Not that it was your fault although you could have done more. I’m beginning to sound like him, don’t I?
And yet we are different because unlike him, I would never settle for ambiguity. Unlike him, I won’t be swallowed by the vacuum of your insatiable ego. Unlike him, I will not grant you the satisfaction of having me beg or cry. And unlike him, I will stop before things get out of hand...
But until then let me just love you in silence because like rain on a gloomy Monday, this too shall pass.
