I love ME!!!

This shirt really caught my attention!
I found this shirt when I typed in my name on yahoo images. Well, I wasn't expecting to see my photo. I was just wondering if there are any other people named "Mara Garcia." Well it turns out, there are tons of them..I mean us. Garcia is a very common surname. It's really odd. But then again, I realize that it's easy to make a photo of a shirt with your name on it on adobe photoshop or whatever. But they're selling it online! Cool, huh? I wonder if anyone ever considered buying it...I mean, why would you wear a shirt with someone else's name? Maybe that girl is famous or something..heheh..c",)

Finding Neverland

I wrote this eight days ago but i wasn't able to post it..but here it is!

Just 4 days to go before the big day. The day that I've always been dreaming of since I stepped in highschool--GRADUATION DAY!

The smell of graduation is in the air. It's everywhere! Diplomas, medals, tassled black and white hats, graduation sales and yes, parties, are all over. I just can't wait for my turn to ascend the stage and receive my diploma. I won't be getting any medals this year (and my mom's not used to it, only a bunch of certificates for being a consistent achiever and for all the organizations that I joined. Nothing special actually, except for the fact that I get to read the prayers of the faithful on the baccalaureate mass. But still, I'm crazy about it! I used to tell myself to take it easy, it's only your highschool graduation (it's going to be my third time, for God's sake!)..no big deal, but then again I realize, it a big deal for me. I'm about to enter another chapter in my life and it's going to be bigger. The next step I'm going to make will decide my future..I'm going to be a college girl! More independent and sure of herself. But then, what happens after college graduation?

To be honest, I really don't see myself beyond my (future)college degree. I can't even imagine myself working! Of course, I dreamed of all the good things that come with a good and decent work with a good salary, but I never thought about the " real life" I would have to live after graduation. Then I began to realize that sooner or later my world will change. It has to change. And eventually, a new one will emerge before my eyes. All my life, so it seemed, I felt that school is my world. My life evlved in studying, studying and even more studying! Eventually, this has to end and the next thing I'll know, everything will be different: no more exams, no more terror teachers, no more classmates, no more allowances, no more weekend meetings for projects. I know that it won't be easy to adapt oneself to the responsibilities of a daughter, employee and citizen, all at the same time after getting accustomed to a long life as a student. I'm already comfortable with my current status: student/daughter. I don't think I'm ready to be an employee/mother. The idea creeps me out! I think there's a reason for this... it's because I'm afraid of leaving my comfort zone. I hate changes..I hate moving on..I'm a slow slow slow adjuster. I just wish that I can be 16 forever...I wanna be a kid for all eternity!

This is what I really wanna do

Ever experience something so immensely earth shattering, or just so incredibly annoying, that all you can do is gush or rant? Ever been posed with so curious a problem you can do nothing but obsess? Well, I have these moments each and every day. I can't help it-my life is just plain interesting. Luckily, I have a way to indulgence my feeling of the moment: by writing to all of you, of course! So in the coming weeks, check back in here to see what's on my mind-and to let me know what's on yours. You know you love hearing my innermost thoughts. If you didn't, I'd be out of a job..heh heh (see? I even cahnged the way I spell my laughs!)
