. grrrl .

kate, 18, is currently a junior journalism major at the university of the philippines, diliman.

she digs buffy the vampire slayer, pays homage to faith and eliza dushku, and drools over spike and james marsters' accent. she cried when tara died in "seeing red". she had desperately tried to dye her hair the exact colour of willow's hair for several times now, but miserably failed. every time.

when she's not abandoning everything else for the love of buffy, she also writes much, while listening to sarah mclachlan, tori amos, clair marlo, lisa loeb, lifehouse, the corrs, matchbox twenty, and evanescence.

she's single, and she (thinks) she's now tired of looking at the wrong places for the right person.

[she's crazy about webdesign, and she swears she'll marry the geniuses behind adobe photoshop and macromedia dreamweaver. check out her recommendations, as well as her other sites at linkage.]

Innocent

You are so innocent,
it's like you couldn't
Hurt
a fly.
And I walk slower,
as your lips curl faster into a
smile
I shall never forget.

You are so innocent,
it's like you couldn't
Tell
a lie.
And I nod more vigorously,
as I try to
catch
every word that
falls
from your lips, divine
words of wisdom.

You are so innocent,
it's like you're almost
Unreal.

And I wonder why I ever believed
the lies.
And I wonder why I ever justified
the pain.

You acted so innocent,
like you wouldn't
Hurt
me.
And I had walked slower,
watching your lips curl faster into that
smile I remember
from the night before.

You acted so innocent,
like you wouldn't
Lie to
me.
And I had nodded more vigorously even,
as I tried to
catch
the same lies that
fell
from your lips, tainted
distortions of the truth.

You acted so innocent,
it's like you're almost
Real

And I wonder why I'm still believing
the lies.
And I wonder why I'm still justifying
the pain.

Despite everything.
