I’m up really late because I feel the incessant need to share my dream last night. Mainly because I don’t want to forget it. But also because I think it’s one of the most bizarre dreams I’ve ever had. So for your entertainment, and for your grand chance to look at me and officially certify me as the strangest person you’ll ever meet, here’s a glimpse into my crazy, subconscious dreamworld…

WARNING: I am not being overly dramatic when I say this dream is INSANE and TWISTED. I would say I just have a wild imagination, but even I think this dream is way over-the-top for me. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. ENJOY! :)

It felt like I was in a coliseum in Ancient Rome, but in the present day. I was sitting on the stone bleachers high up with a gentleman, who’s name I don’t recall, but let’s just name him Sam. And sitting next to us was this little redheaded kid, more like auburn red. Let’s call him Freddie cause I don’t remember his name either. Couldn’t have been more than 7-8 years old. (Alright, already weirded out? I’m not even close to crazy yet.)

All of a sudden this kid turns to Sam and I and said “He killed them.”

Sam and I both responded “Who killed them?”

(Keep in mind, clearly, as we’ve all seen in Inception, you tend to just appear in dreams without ever knowing the context of how you got there. So in this instance, in my dream, I knew who “them” was, but once I woke up, I had no idea who “them” was.)

Back in the dream, Freddie, who looked terrified, said “T.J. did.”

And for whatever bizzaro reason, the T.J. in reference, was in fact, Real World/Road Rules Challenge Host Extraordinaire-slash-BMXer T.J. Lavin…

I know, I know but just…stay with me, please…the weirdness continues.

Clearly, we could see it on Freddie’s face that he was terrified. I mean, a 7 year old just witnessed a mass murder?! Seriously?

And then Sam (or I) asked, “Does anyone else know? Did anyone else see?”

Freddie answered, “Only the Duke of the Hospital saw.”

(That is verbatim. Those were his EXACT words. Yes, the Duke of the Hospital, you read that right. I don’t even know what the Duke of the Hospital is, but apparently he witnessed the killing, too.)

To make this dream even more bizarre than it already is, this is who I imagined when Freddie said “The Duke of the Hospital.” This is the Duke from Rock-a-doodle, one of my favorite movies growing up. And cheers to you if you remember this guy…errr…owl.

Sam and I saw how genuinely scared Freddie was, but we were a bit skeptical. I mean, you know how kids can be. Their imaginations can run wild sometimes. So Sam suggested we go to the Duke ourselves, and ask him what he saw. However, it seemed in this dreamworld, the Duke was a bad man and maybe possibly in cahootz with T.J., as in, they may have planned the whole thing together.

So, I had the presence of mind to wonder if it was a good idea to bring it up to him. Because if we asked the Duke, and he and Freddie were the only witnesses, I thought the Duke may come after Freddie for ratting T.J. out.

I then asked Freddie, “Should we ask the Duke about it?”

And the look on his face told Sam and I “absolutely not.”

(I know, guys, this is ridiculous on so many levels — Why am I sharing this again?)

BUT THEN…

All of a sudden, coming up the stairs…was T.J. and his girl friend (She didn’t look like a girlfriend, just a friend that was a girl, but who knows). He came right towards the three of us, and Sam, being the protector he is, went over to him immediately, while I stayed back with Freddie.

I don’t know what Sam said, but while I was waiting and watching them talk, Freddie held my hand and said, “Don’t leave me.”

And I said, “Don’t worry. I won’t.”

And then I woke up.

————————————————-

Ok, I don’t quite know why I wanted to share this dream so badly. Clearly, my brain was on some other shit last night because this was just inane and random nonsense. T.J. Lavin? A mass murderer? The Duke of the Hospital? WTF??? Hell, this would make a great Lady Gaga video. And knowing how people worship anything she does, they would praise her for being visionary and innovative. Personally, I feel my own dream was a load of crap, as is mostly everyting Gaga does. But at least this dream was entertaining…to me. Gaga fails to do any of that for me.

Let’s get one thing straight here: I LOVE T.J. Lavin. Not just because he’s the host of The Challenge, which is the only show I watch religiously on MTV now, but I also think he’s a babe. Super hot. RAWR!

But I think it’s safe to say this may rate as one of the craziest dreams anyone will EVER have in this world…EVER.

That’s all for now. Good night!

The super boy-ish side of me has come out in the past 24 hours or so. Most of my tweets yesterday were about the Sharks and Lakers/Cavs game, and I also managed to sneak in an @reply to Michael Bush’s question “why doesn’t flash work on ipad?”

My answer? “Because Steve Jobs hates Adobe/Flash”. Well, it’s true.

Additionally, I managed to have a pretty decent convo with one of my hockey buds on Facebook about the Sharks’ oh-so-terrible struggles right now. I mean, to the point where I’m even impressed with my hockey knowledge. I’ve fully admitted that I’m still learning the game (being that I didn’t really “grow up” watching it). I understand the basics, now it’s all about the nuances. Don’t believe me? Try me. Ask me anything about the team this season, and I’ll answer it as best as I can.

I think the fact that the conversation centered around the Sharks also helped my arguments tenfold. Ask me to argue for/against another team? Fugghadeaboutit. But I’ll get there soon enough :)

If you know me, you’d know that I am two EXTREMES of the gender spectrum. While, yes, I’m a sporty chick with a knack for understanding and enjoying team sports, I’m also an extreme girly girl who has a make-up collection that you would die for. Do you have the Urban Decay NAKED palette? Well, I do!

Many people describe my style as “funky”. I’ve never really been able to pinpoint what exactly my style is. I’ve always thought that I kind of emit a bohemian-rocker-chic vibe. I don’t really like to follow trends, nor do I like dressing like every other filipino girl out there. So that’s probably why my style looks like an amalgamation of the Olsen twins and Rihanna mixed in with a little Blair Waldorf for class. So I can see the funky label. I can dig it.

I thought it’d be cool to post some of my favorite things at the moment, style/beauty/fashion-wise. Here they are:

• Essie’s Matte About You - The matte nail trend is so last year, and I have to say, I have a tendency to pick up on trends like a year after they arrive. But I don’t really care. Matte nails are so hot! Everyone wants their nails to be all shiny, but this is a really unique way to make your nails stand out from the crowd.
• Bright Nail Polish - For the longest time, I wore really dark colors on my nails, deep, eggplant purple, black, dark maroon. Because, come on, dark nails are kind of sexy. But I think the more playful side has come out of me in the past few months. And, who else, my girl Rihanna in her “What’s My Name?” video totally inspired me. She has those periwinkle blue nails at one point, and I fell in love. Ever since then, bright nails have been my go-to at the salon. Right now, my nails are bright ocean blue. And matte :)
• Korres Lip Butter - I’ve struggled for years to find the best chapstick for my dry lips. And while there are some products out there that suffice — i.e. Burt’s Bees, Lypsyl Lyp Moisturizer — NOTHING compares to Korres Lip Butter. My lips have never felt so soft. And the best part? They STAY soft. You don’t have to continue reapplying. I put on a little before I go to bed, then a little before I head out to work in the morning. It’s a godsend! And there’s a lot of different scents, too. I got the guava and pomegranate ones. Trust me…you MUST get it!
• Tokidoki Perfetto Eyeliner - This thing is basically a permanent marker. For those gals constantly finding their liquid eyeliner sweating and melting off, I highly recommend this product. It’s a pen and goes on smoothly across your eyelid. And the best part? It doesn’t come off (well, when you use make-up remover it does). But seriously. Take my word for it.
• Sephora Collection: I.T. Face Contour Brush - So, I just recently started to get into the habit of contouring my face. I use Mac Blush in Blunt, and then I use this brush. When I purchased it at the counter, the girl raved about it to me. Needless to say, I was pretty excited to start using it. It does not disappoint. If you ever need to contour your face, this is the brush to use.

That’s all for now, but they really are some of my favorites, at the moment. I also bought these awesome combat, vintage-looking boots, and I can’t wait to wear them. I would post a picture of them, but 1) I can’t find my camera and 2) my laptop is so extremely slow right now, I don’t think I can upload anything new to this thing or else I think my laptop will explode.

I think I’m obsessed with Lost.

Anyways, long post/update coming up. Something about New Years Resolutions…
