No, not the vicious, disfigured flesh-eating kind one would find antagonizing entire towns in Hollywood B-movies or tormenting your friends on Facebook. I felt like my mind had turned off and my body was trying to function without it. I was experiencing existential anguish over the fact that I would soon be transitioning back to school and had absolutely no idea where I would end up in the next few months. My anxiety was only further amplified by a severe lack of sleep brought on by jetlag. I tried to calm myself by talking to friends, only to learn that those capable of hearing out my spastic, insomnia-induced panic attacks at the buttcrack of dawn were those who lived in different time zones. Needless to say, the late-night IM sessions with my friends in New York and early-morning phone conversations w... http://girlmaverick.multiply.com/journal/item/39/New_Article_Alternative_Time_Killers Thu, 13 Mar 2008 20:33:49 -0000 i can't wait!!! as i i can hear every exclamation point as i type it! wooohoohooo! who's coming with me?

I hope you all forgive that. In the waiting line WHIPPER SNAPPER By Francesca Ayala Friday, February 15, 2008 For a second there I thought you disappeared… The lull of Jason Schwartzman’s voice nudges you back into the waking world. Despite a desperate urge to drift back to the mind-numbing oblivion of the Tylenol PMs you took the night before, a confrontation with your emotions is in order. The knot around your heart swan-dives into the pit of your stomach as the plane finally begins its descent towards Manila, the city you call home. Seats back up, no tray tables down. Time to switch off all electronic devices. You try to be a punk and hide your headphones under your hoodie, because the idea of your plane crashing to the beat of your favorite Coconut Records song is much more appealing than facing the facts. Your three-month hiatus from life in the real world is rapidly drawing to a clo... http://girlmaverick.multiply.com/journal/item/36/New_Article_In_the_Waiting_Line Thu, 14 Feb 2008 19:31:40 -0000 Just in case I didn't make myself http://girlmaverick.multiply.com/video/item/33/Peaches_-_I_Dont_Give_A_Fuck Wed, 13 Feb 2008 10:38:06 -0000 To whomever stole my multiply pics, this one's for http://girlmaverick.multiply.com/music/item/99/I_Dont_Give_a_Fk Wed, 13 Feb 2008 10:33:39 -0000 http://girlmaverick.multiply.com/photos/album/98/My_Day_of_Fun_with_Ciabel_Became_Ano_Capones Fri, 8 Feb 2008 04:21:53 -0000 After much experience of melting bits of his old iPod and cutting board with a blowtorch, Mikey learns that using glass panels as his "workspace" isn't the best idea to act http://girlmaverick.multiply.com/photos/album/97/Mikes_DIY_Sliding_Gloves Fri, 8 Feb 2008 04:06:59 -0000 Soooo http://girlmaverick.multiply.com/video/item/30/Sarah_Silverman_Im_Fcking_Matt_Damon_on_Jimmy_Kimmel Mon, 4 Feb 2008 18:14:09 -0000 The WhipperSnapper is back, ladies and gentlemen! Young Star Back to (un)cool WHIPPER SNAPPER By Francesca Ayala Friday, January 25, 2008 It’s nine o’clock on a Thursday night. Under normal circumstances, I would be in my room, busting out an arsenal of early ‘90s dance moves to The Sounds and eagerly raiding the darkest recesses of my closet for a colorful mishmash of an ensemble to serve as a clever icebreaker at my favorite weeknight haunt. Texts from fellow ‘80s babies and dance floor denizens would flood my cell phone, punctuating the lyrics to “Tony the Beat” with abrupt message alerts that sound like fairy dust... If you pressed your ear to my door, you’d be convinced that Tinkerbell and I were going to town and kicking off the weekend early (because Thursday is, like, totally the new Friday again, ever since Mondays became marketing opportunities for all these night clubs). Tonight, however, no such pre-game is going on. Instead of brandishing a Day-Glo statement t... http://girlmaverick.multiply.com/journal/item/35/New_Article_Back_to_UnCool Tue, 29 Jan 2008 15:01:03 -0000 Thank you Kaie for helping me waste a little time and put some serious thought into my iTunes selection. RULES: Put your music player on shuffle. For each question, press the next button to get your answer. You must write that song name down no matter how silly it sounds! 1. If someone says "Is this okay?" you say? House of Jealous Lovers -- The Rapture ("One hand unties the other..." Napaka artsy fartsy naman...) 2. What would best describe your personality? Good Woman -- Cat Power (A girl after my own heart. She's in AA and is Karl Lagerfeld's muse. Not to mention a tremendously talented musician.) 3. What do you like in a guy/girl? This is Not A Love Song -- Nouvelle Vague (Forget all the mushy gushy stuff; just be real with me.) 4. How do you feel today? Rag and Bone -- The White Stripes ("Bring out your junk and we'll give it a home...") 5. What is your life's purpose? New Slang -- The Shins ("I might be looking in on the good life I might be ... http://girlmaverick.multiply.com/journal/item/34/Wannabe Tue, 22 Jan 2008 02:46:55 -0000 These two guys rock out to my family's karaoke song...

Once again, ‘tis the season of suspended classes, power fluctuations and natural disasters. The immediate weather change from “seeded” to stormy put an end to our so-called drought and sunshine is on its annual hiatus, turning the city I used to call my playground into a dreary, monochromatic mess. With doom and gloom violently spewing out of the sky on a daily basis, it was practically impossible to do most of the things I’d normally do to cheer myself up. Shopping, for instance, had metamorphosed from an all-time favorite pick-me-up into an epic voyage challenging the fates. Seriously, retail therapy isn’t nearly as therapeutic when you have to schlep on a pair of heavy-duty Wellingtons, brave mind-numbing traffic jams and trudge through dirty, knee-deep rainwater to get from one store... http://girlmaverick.multiply.com/journal/item/31/New_Article_All-Access_Style Fri, 31 Aug 2007 05:14:42 -0000 http://girlmaverick.multiply.com/video/item/9/Bading_does_Bongos Thu, 23 Aug 2007 19:11:27 -0000 So Gabbie and I were jonesing for donuts and decided to give in to our inner fat girls. We passed by the nearest Krispy Kreme and ended up getting a box. I wanted free coffee so I flirted with the manager... "Remember that look I gave him," I whispered to Gabbie, "That look's going to get you anywhere you want in life." The free coffee didn't really happen, but instead we got a free tour of the place and got to make our own donuts... that they gave to us for http://girlmaverick.multiply.com/photos/album/69/The_Krispy_Kreme_Adventure Fri, 17 Aug 2007 18:05:32 -0000
