Dreaming of my Emancipation

I haven't been writing in either of my journals as often as I should, but I promise to write more stuff soon. Not much has been happening to me. I've been helping out with STC, the collections team of PeopleSupport. It's status quo between me and Rolly. I'm still celibate, except that this time I don't want to be. Hehe.

I've amazingly been able to get a lot of sleep recently. It's partly because I've decided to work late afternoons this week, and last week I worked the morning shift. I've always told people that I hate working mornings cuz I hate crowds, traffic, noise, and sunlight. Although that used to be true, nowadays I only like the graveyard shift cuz I get paid more. I really prefer late morning or afternoon shifts, cuz that's really the only way for me to get enough sleep.

Anyway, I've been able to remember more of my dreams as of late. Last night I had a dream that I was in this big mall and there was a massive discount on all the items. I was looking for toiletries and got all the stuff I wanted. There was a Body Shop section in the mall, and I remember finding red cloth dye for P199.00 and I was wondering if I should get it to change the color of my jeans. I'm not sure if that dream meant anything significant, but it was a nice dream.

The other dream I had the other day was semi-lucid, because Marti and I were in a dark hallway and I was telling her you know there must be a reason why you are in my dream. We went down the hall, and at the end it was a ward of a mental institution where there were at least 15 beds. Romi was there, and we tried helping her escape. One of the doctors was there, and he tried to stop us by sedating Romi. Luckily I stopped him before he succeeded. Apparently Romi gave birth while she was there, and we were trying to rescue the baby too. I woke up before we could.

Romi said that the dream was about how I felt about her relationship with Sherwin, but I doubt that. I think it's more about me and Rolly. As much as Romi is having difficulty leaving her dead-end relationship, I'm having trouble leaving mine. Oh well. I don't need a dream to realize that.

I posted this in my other journal, but I will post this here too. I bought "The Emancipation Of Mimi", Mariah's new album. I love it. I think it's her best album ever. Slick sounds, slick lyrics, and she looks gorgeous on the album cover. The feel of the music is very 70s retro, a lot of the songs sound like they were casually recorded live, and Mariah is hitting the highest notes that she's hit since the early 90s. Above all though, I love the songs because they're mostly about having to move on from relationships that just didn't work out -- crying, saying goodbye, and finding someone else. At this point in my life, this album is my soundtrack...
