I love this song, lalo na the whistling parts.

YOUNG FOLKS

If i told you things i did before
told you how i used to be
would you go along with someone like me
if you knew my story word for word
had all of my history
would you go along with someone like me

i did before and had my share
it didn't lead nowhere
i would go along with someone like you
it doesn't matter what you did
who you were hanging with
we could stick around and see this night through

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about their own faults
talkin' 'bout our own style
all we care 'bout is talking
talking only me and you

usually when things has gone this far
people tend to disappear
no-one will surprise me unless you do

i can tell there's something goin' on
hours seems to disappear
everyone is leaving i'm still with you

it doesn't matter what we do
where we are going to
we can stick around and see this night through
[these lyrics are found on http://www.songlyrics.com]

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about their own faults
talkin' 'bout our own style
all we care 'bout is talking
talking only me and you

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about their own faults
talkin' 'bout our own style
all we care 'bout is talking
talking only me and you
talking only me and you

talking only me and you
talking only me and you

HISTORY UNCANNINGLY REPEATS ITSELF.
Man, am so tired of being in this situation over and over again. Wishing it'll fade away, hoping my destiny would change, praying it'll never happen again. But, seems like i'll be getting these instances again and again. Can it stop?? will it stop? Who will? Me? Someone? who? Man,, am emotionally stressed again.

NO ONE CAN STOP MINIMIZING HURT.
I know, because without it, Life would just be useless. One can never have happy days all the time. One cannot appreciate something if there ain't any pain that happened before it.

I think I just make things too complicated. And/or maybe am just too sensitive. Well atleast am not manhid (insenstive). Or should i be manhid instead too get rid of all the pain, to feel and hear no pain.

Hay, i love this instrumental! Parang I want to learn to play the violin again!hehe

3 Steps To A BitterSweet Goodbye
Madonna + The Verve

Your heart is not open
so I must go
the spell has been broken
I loved you so
Freedom comes when you learn to let go
Creation comes when you learn to say no
Walk away

You were my lesson I had to learn
I was your fortress you had to burn
Pain is the the warning that somethings wrong
I pray to God that it wont be long
Walk away

there's nothing left to try
there's no place left to hide
there's no greater power
than the Power of Goodbye

Your heart is not open so I must go
the spell has been broken
I loved you so
You were my lesson
I had to learn
I was your fortress
There's nothing left to try
There's no place left to hide
There's no greater power than the power of goodbye
Learn to say goodbye
I yearn to say goodbye

There's nothing left to try
There's no more places to hide
There's no greater power than the power of goodbye
There's nothing left to lose
There's no place left to hide
There's no greater power than the power of goodbye

Heard it in Season3 Ep.20 of HOUSE

Follow The Leader

by Matthew Ryan

It’s follow the leader, baby
That’s how it’s gonna be
If you ever really wanna get lost
Then follow me

Follow the leader

We’re in a solar system
Together and alone
The bills, the smoke, the furniture
The happy home

Now you can follow your gut
Or you can follow the past
But if you knew an eclipse was coming
Why’d you even ask?

Follow the leader

Ghost verse -
(there’s brighter days ahead
I’ve seen them on tv
Word is there’s something big
Hidden up their sleeve)

So maybe it gets quiet
And maybe it gets numb
At least then there’s still something
To share with someone

Follow the leader

i love the feeling of helping others. the feeling and urge of doing something that may/may not make someone be thankful for doing that kind act. I love the moments when I'm part of someone's (one of the) most important and memorable moments in their lives. Even though some may not have approved for my decision, I still took stand for what I love and what i love to do - to be there for them.

july 14, 2007

I, josh(tito pots) and ivin went to bluewave macapagal just to chll-out and hang-out after the whole-day-at-work. T'was around 8pm when we arrived there. cccchhiillll lng.hehe. then we agreed to go home around 11pm na. While on the road, Tito Pots wife called up and said she needs to be brought to the hospital because she felt that her baby's going out her tummy already. Eh i was just thinking ivin and josh we're just fooling me around, so i didn't cared at all. Then we went to josh's house, and there we saw his wife and her tita waiting for us! man! they're serious! And so went to Fabella Hospital at manila in High Speed! we're just flashing and honking our car so that other cars have to stay at the side of the way so we could get through all of them easily and fast! Vin and I were just so scared and kinakabahan that anytime of the minute, Lyn would just release(what a term.hehe) baby josh inside the car. hehe. And so we arrived at the Hospital, thank God, only few patients were there at that time. And so we just waited, while mosquitoes were biting our toes. Only to find out that doctors there told them she has to be back later in the mornin because it's still not yet her time to bore the child. What the F*$#*(tk!!! After those frightening and fast speed trip going there, e Wala rin pla!. man! was just so down that time.. Sayang lng effort. I didn't care about how worried my kuya nd dad was that time kc di ako pumayag na umuwi that night and instead sumama sa pagpunta sa hospital..But on the bright side, i just loved the feeling of being in that moment. Never be forgotten. will just cherish that memory, promise. Even though wla kmi during the time nanganak sya. The baby was delivered 6:22am july 15. maN! sana pla naghintay nlng kmi dun noH!!

Fabella Hospital is known to be the "haven for prenancies" (panget ng term a.hehe) Cheap ata kc panganganak dun. I just pity some preggy moms there, waiting outside the hospital, waiting for their baby to come out. e dami pa namang mosquitos sa labas nun.wla lng. nd mdyo ndi sanitary ang place. bsta. Dun ko lng nlaman na ganun pla nangyayari sa ibang hospital. wla lng.

so un. share ko lng one of my favorite and cherished moment ko.hehe

days after, we have to go back to that hospital to file the baby's name. James Ryan is the name. E josh and lyn agreed to bring the baby there, and so kmi nman ni Vin, oo lng..mabait kc kmi e.hehe. we went there after work(so morning un kc night shift kmi that day), man! ang init! wawa ang baby! and so we arrived there sa hospital, and josh just left the baby with us! E we don't know how to carry a baby! haha! first time to carry a week old baby! maN! we're just so scared that time! iyak ng iyak while Vin's holding the baby!hehe. tas when it was my turn, he stopped crying.hehe! i love the feeling of holding a baby! kaso ang super fragile nya! nkakatakot.. i'll never forget that time.hehe.. ung tipong ang init sa kotse even though may aircon na, tas wawa nman ung baby, iniwan smin, e mga first timers kmi mgdala ng baby!! haha wla lng. sarap ng feeling na josh trusted us.hehe. so un..

I don't have a cent
Will I pay my rent?
And even my car doesn't work
Me and my man?
He's the one to die for...
We have split up

Can't you see life's easy
If you consider things
From another point of view
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah
In another way
From another point of view
Ye ye ye eheh
Oh oh yeah
In another way from
Another point of view

I see life and light
All the colours of the world
So beautiful
Won't you come with me?

I see birds and trees
All the flowers of the world so beautiful
Won't you come with me?

Can't you see life's easy
If you consider things
From another point of view
Ah ah ah ah ah ah

2007-01-28T22:06:00.000+08:00

The past week was a TORTURE!!! I just hope tomorrow and the coming days be not like last weeks'. Am super stressed-out and burned-out. Physically, emotionally, mentally, shucks! I feel like i need to be hospitalized because of all things piling up in my entire system lately! I feel like i'd be getting ulcer again, which i really, really detest.

If gutom ang isang tao, right away, sasakit ung tiyan, e what about emotional pain? what part of the body would be most affected? diba, parang wala?! walang specific part of the body e, but i think entire system would be affected e. Bit by bit. and then, it will just collapsed. man, that's all i could feel right now.

Piles of disappointments in life have been piling up in my system lately. As in biglang bumuhos sila saken sabay-sabay.

or is just because i expect so soon? ndi rin e.. maybe partly. but pinaka-nakakainis is fairness in life e. Someone gets to get "bigger" things even though he didn't get to earn it with perseverance. bsta prang ganun. people see me as brat? am not a brat. never ako nging "bilmoko". i just think and feel and say what is right, what is fair. i want justice and balance. pantay-pantay dapat. people who deserve to get "bigger" things really deserve to get it. I don't want people be tortured to death and only a few gets the reward. gets?!

haayyY!!!!! what's happening in our life lately!! am disappointed now.

galit ako noh?!? or is it just because super stressed-out nako lately working. and feeling ko mgkaka-ulcer na ko. and i feel sick right now that's why i feel and think this way..

I read in Saturday's newspaper of an editorial by Tals Diaz. She quoted, "...Great expectations run the risk of great disappointments, after all.." sapul!

am so trying hard for the past years to get rid of that habit - of expecting something. wahh. have been praying for it almost everyday. but it seems like nothing's changed. help.

2007-01-15T15:50:00.000+08:00

ay sos. sosyal na kami a. In fairness.ehehehe.. vivere? ay sos. and i was the last person who showed up there, to think that my office is just sooooooo near from there. ahahaha! kapal parin talaga mukha ko.hehe. But i have an appropriate and truthful excuse e, may full-page ad pa pala natira sakin.ahaha. I was suppose to leave the office by 8pm, then I saw one copysheet stucked in my folder! ay sos!! and for 3o minutes I finished it? that's what you call crammed AD!hahaha! so un..

And so we ate at Vivere's rooftop. Very windy. Mas windy pa sa baba (malamang!ay sos!) So i never took off my jacket. Masaya naman. At first, maam, lea, jade, nina, belay, rubs, irene and I were kinda pa-demure pa, as in seryosong stuff lang pinapag-usapan and walang laughing matter. And after some minutes, wla ng pake sa mga tao around us! tawa ng tawa! pake ba nila noh?!?! as if naman makikita pa nila kami uli and as if naman sila may-ari nun. And look, we're still young, we just need to have some fun.hehe.. and so after we ate sumptuous meal, (mine was seafood roulade ata, basta sarap), fireworks began! super ganda ng view from the top!

and un, after that, starbucks, their oh-so-fave place (pero ako, dein, di ako coffee lover). I suggested sa Treats Westgate nalang, e ayaw nila, gusto nila coffee.coffee.coffee.hehehe.

end of it.hehe

pansol (dec16)

building lobby

at giligan's Festi (dec22)

sheesshh. blogging on christmas day?!?ahahah! well, today's just one of the FEW holidays that I'll be experiencing. After these FEW days, am back to work again. But hey, even though our job's taking much of my life right now (spending more than 12hrs at the office), We still manage to have fun while on-break, go lunch-out, and "tambay'', drink, and relax together. Yep, my officemates are still my companions right after work. Chillax sa Treats, Town, Festi, etc.. no dull moment with them. that's why am soooooooo thankful and happy and contented with my workplace. I never imagined I'd be getting a job that would make me feel so thankful to God. I feel so lucky lately. Hope it'll stay with me for a long time.. I want my kind of life right now-always busy, no time to daydream, think and reminisce the good and bad times of the past, time passes by so fast(12hrs seems very long, but with my job, nah!), get worthy salary after tons of finished ADs, get to mingle with different people.. Lately, I realized that I don't want to waste time doing nothing. Because, the more time am "Tulala" and aloof, the more I think and remember the good and bad times of the past. And those make me sob. I don't know why. Maybe because I am just happy it all happened-whether bad or good. I still miss and remember specific details of the past. They're all've been said and done, that's why i really don't want to go back to those "happy" times. My tears are just too precious to waste it all on just reminiscing an event, a person, a place,etc. My Asec friends daily insist me to tell them my "past". But I always reject their request.ahaha! bakit pa?! E past is past. They're making alot of "maybe" situations that might be connected with my life. But i don't give them hints.ahaha! But there's some time that i'd like to share them and blurt out my past. But the reason why I keep on rejecting their request is that I might cry again. Because I will have to reminsce and remember the past. Am so over with it. But am thankful that it all happened. Have and had no regrets. And i don't want them to pity me. Basta, all i can say now is, I LOVE THE PRESENT. I just hope, beg, pray and wish happy and contented days be always in my life.. chillax nalang lagi. WORK HARD, PLAY HARDER!!hahahhah!

I wake up, i wash my face and go

Here's another day, i'm sure

I fight for what i love

And my music keeps going on,

My heart begins to beat

And my music keeps going on and Makes my life complete

Flying away...

At petron TREATS Westgate(december23-24midnight)

wahahahaah!

2006-12-12T22:45:00.000+08:00

ayun o! pia's still alive! ahahaahahah!!

despite countless OT hours!!hehehe I just hope the graphics' departments' christmas party/Overnight at pansol be a memorable and fun one for all of us! weeeeee!

It's just days away from christmas day yet no decorations have been placed in the entire house!haahaah!! .... and it's just days away from christmas day yet i still haven't gone seriously shopping for my loved ones... even for myself!!!!!!!! I still have'nt bought Adidas' Stella Mccartney's HASMA!!! waaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!! been to 3 malls in the south and no Hasma has been found! Greenbelt 3's my only chance!!!!!!! waaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

have to sleep now!!!! another working day's gonna be mine again...tomorrow! 12th floor's my second home lately.hahahaha!!

at last.. i have time to blog...FOR NOW!!

2006-11-01T17:31:00.000+08:00

nax. was so busy for almost a month na a. haven't checked and posted here for a while. well, it's somewhat a good thing coz atleast I keep myself busy having a 12hour shift job, 6 days a week. Now this may sound not like me but Yep!, am a workaholic girl now! It feels so good having something to do for the whole day than just chilling out at home and stare at nothingness and have a BUHAY BABOT lifestyle. I want my life now. It's Very challenging. Everyday, my batchmates (batch7) are really worried if we could make it to our 2 months training. Everday, i ask God's help so that I may keep my job there for good. I am always desperate to having "no errors" in all my works so that I can uplift my Accuracy rating, thus having to keep the job. But, alas, everyday, I get to receive frustrating errors from super OC(obsessive compulsive) proofreaders. That even the slightest error in my AD can be seen by their keen eyes. We often blame the client's poor handwriting, that's why we're commiting tons of errors. We don't know when to capitalize the letters, wheter to put space between the time and dates.damn. but it's work.

So, do I have errors in my today's blog??? ahahahahaha..

If that's the way it is, then that's the way it is...

I just wish and pray that I will pass this tests. I love this job, even though it's a 12 hr shift + we get to work last sunday + work on ramadan day. I love this. and i don't want to lose this. Am working VERY hard for this. I just hope the company will see that I am thriving and desperately wanting to keep this job. Please.. Please... Please..

Siesta Del Sol - In Credo

2006-09-14T23:55:00.000+08:00

As the thursday nights' air breeze went pleasant, I sat down at one of our garden chairs and listened to the shuffled tracks in our ipod mini for about an hour - to soothe my aching head. I was all alone with nature, webster, and mini. In Credo's Siesta del Sol is on-play and for a few minutes I imagined I was walking at Club Paradise's shore,looking for seashells; at Honda Bay taking photographs; with my friends talking about anything under the midnight sky and a shooting star appeared and we all wished for something and after a few minutes, a group of guys approached and befriended us and played silly card games; with my blockmates drinking a few shots of alcohol while the party sounds are playing;was recording the Sunset. All were sublime;resplendent;glorious. It didn't matter if mosquitos were biting me that time. I came close to feeling and listening to the organic, real waves of some of the best Philippine shores i've been to in my life.Then the next track began. I think it's Letting the Cables Sleep (Remix) by Bush. Then I felt a sting in my left leg. My headache? i kissed it all away goodbye. Thanks In Credo.

Blanko

2006-09-10T13:30:00.000+08:00

Blanko
-the mind venturing into nothingness

tried to draw but can't think of anything to draw about. I insisted my mind to get some ideas from the music playing around me, but still, Blanko.

tried recalling and imagining the places and objects I saw in the past, but still, Blanko.

the past few days has been put to waste for I thought, felt, and did nothing at all.

have watched The Devil Wears Prada. Liked it. But as what Miranda (am not even sure w' her name - it proves that I have a short-term memory.haha) often says in the movie, "..That's all", that's all..

to get my mind start from functioning and my eyes see anything new but stare into nothingness, I did HOUSE marathon. I watched season2 episodes 9-11 straight. For 120 minutes I made my mind work again...and I still love Gregory House's sarcasm..

tried to learn Actionscripting tutorials i got over the internet. But because of Blanko, I closed the program, and instead, updated BUTR's podcast on our itunes and transferred into our mini. How I just wish I could Download Isaac Hayes' "Shaft" for free.

I feel numb. I think nothing but nothing. I listen to songs but their lyrics makes no sense to me.That's why i sometimes opt to have my ears hear chillout/electronica/house/trance or any music w/o lyrics.But now, the radio's on. Nine Inch Nail's "Everyday is Exactly the Same" is being played. How Surreal it is because my mind just responded to it's lyrics even though I'm in Blanko stage. When in this stage, I just thought that everyday's exactly the same. I don't know what's the day today. I even insisted someone that tomorrow'd be a tuesday whenin fact today's a Sunday. Man, what's happeining to me??

For 1 Week I felt so unproductive. For 1 week I ventured into nothingness. Maybe because I am sick and tired of thinking all the What IFs in life, and all the What Might Have Beens. I've been consistently asking my own self why it happened when I really expected that I will make it, that I'd be getting the graphic artist position. I did so well in all of their exams. I came to their office on time. I acted professionally while I was at their office for 5 hours. Is it because my answer to their question, "reason for applying", is that I need a job?? I just made an honest answer,that's all. I don't what to make up sad stories for the sake of getting me hired because they pity my situation. The HR even told us that they've had enough "pasaway" employees and so they want to hire new people who don't have that kind of attitude that's why they also gave us an emotional kind of exam with 100+ redundant questions. I am not pasaway. Is it because i gave "sorry i don't know the answer" in one of the essays?I just don't want to make awful guesses without any intellectual basis at all. I really really wanted that job. I saw their workplace, their employees, the nature of business. It's all good for me.I never expected this would be the result. Now I must say, "ciao for that opportunity".I wanted to tell myself, "If that's the way it is, then that's the way it is", but I still can't figure out why I wasn't qualified. Still can't accept this kind of rejection..

And because of that, I am lethargic in applying for a new job again. I feel so hopeless. I have so many things that I'd like to do, so many things that I'd like to be, but my knowledge to each of those aren't enough to make me successful. Companies usually hire people who have an extensive knowledge on some certain things/softwares. I may know most of those things but not of them are of my expertise. Shheesshh, Blanko future ko.. that's all..

Viaje Del Sol (laguna,quezon,batangas)

2006-09-03T23:24:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was Viaje del Sol day for us.

Viaje del Sol

-travelling to different tourist spots in San Pablo,Laguna, Quezon, and Batangas.

There are so many places to choose from, but we only had the chance to visit 2 of them.

Sitio de Amor Farm Resort

Km 88.8 Maharlika Highway Brgy. San Antonio 1 San Pablo City, Laguna

+63 918- 9274346

Email: sitiodeamor@yahoo.com

Note: Bringing of Food & Drinks inside the farm is strictly prohibited.

Driving Directions (from Viaje del Sol Brochure) Coming from Manila after the San Pablo border, stay on the Maharlika Highway until you reach Km 88.8. Along the way, watch for the Vitarich Southern Luzon office to your right. Shortly after Vitarich, look for the Sitio de Amor signage to your left. Follow the narrow road for about 600 meters. It will come to a dead end at the Sitio gate.

Situated at San Pablo, Laguna, it is a 4.5 hectare land owned by Mr.George Bondad wherein you can commune with the nature. There are a-lot of gazebos being built there that you can hang-out, relax, and take a breather. They also have pavillons for wedding receptions, debuts, or whatever special occassion that can be done there.

Swimming pools are being constructed for day and overnight stay guests to enjoy with. Those who are quite adventurous can do camping and do bonfire at night in this resort. But for those who opt to sleep inan airconditioned room, they can stay at the resort's big "treehouse". In a few months, a spa will be inagurated as to be an another feature of Sitio de Amor Farm Resort.

Lush garden of 32 different plants/trees, the owner thinks of making this resort a place for recreational field trips for students (students are just really tired and bored of going to zoos). That's why he's starting to put names on each plant/tree for educational purposes.

We're really lucky we visited there place during the Rambutan season. I never eaten a rambutan before(from what i remember), but from the moment i opened and tried one, i just can resist on taking another one!! They really have alot of rambutan trees so scarcity of that creepy-looking fruit will never happen.

Little details of this resort gives you the impression that it's all been done with alot of hardwork, perseverance, devotion, and love of the Bondads. They have exquisite locally-made furniture pieces made from wood that really adapts with the place. From wooden benches, to hammocks, to no-nails-and-no-screws foldable chair! Every gazebo is unique. Even though these big structure looks similar to each other, but when you go inside, little details like the lighting fixture, vases, and furniture will make each of them unique and one of a kind.

The place just looks splendid. The Igorots played a big part in landscaping the area (riprap wall style are significant in the place). The architectural syle, the abundant source of different plants/flowers/trees/fruits, and the overall site planning is just unbelievable.

as we departed, Mr. Bondad gave us a big bag full of rambutans. yey!

Home of the renowned pottery expert, this place is a paradise who seeks and wishes to buy or just look at the fine home decorative pieces made from clay. One can have a hands-on pottery workshop there. You can also dine and eat their scrumptuous dishes made from fresh ingredients(vegetables,etc.). Not only it is the house of the Bigyans' but is also a gallery for their exquisite works of art. Home decorative pieces sold may be expensive but I tell you, it's worth buying it, just look at how unique the designs and shapes each of the pieces are being made by him. There are some huts inside the area wherein you can just relax and commune with the natural surroundings.

Aside from those clay pieces, one can also buy accessories and bags from Balulang(bags&charms).The owners, Janice & Merjah Bigyan, makes very elegant, and state-of-the-art jewelries and bags that one can indulge on. Made from semi-precious gems and stones, copper wires, and other materials make up their one-of-a kind pieces. I just love their rings!! and their bags!! well, all of the stuff sold there!! And yet again, there quite expensive, but as what i've said, it's worth your money. I have talked with their brother there, and he told us that they're planning to go to Thailand to pursue further study omn jewlery designing/making. Now I wanna join them there!! I wanna learn how to make such unique accessories! Some of the bags and stuff sold their are from Thailand.

*******

Overall, the Viaje del Sol trip will give you the impression that Tagaytay, Puerto Galera, Pansol, and other common tourist places are not just the only destinations one can enjoy in the Southside of the Philippines. Just explore any place in the region, then you will find a unique paradise... just like Viaje del Sol did to us.. Too bad, we don't have enough time to visit all the places listed at the Viaje del Sol's brochure, but what the heck, as i've already saw and enjoyed Sitio de Amor Farm Resort and UGU Bigyan, 'am already contented and fulfilled.

i love HOUSE but

2006-09-01T00:45:00.000+08:00

i love watching HOUSE but i would never, ever, venture into such careers they have in there. I DETEST and am SCARED of BLOOD. A droplet of blood from my skin will make me nauseous. That's my weakness. I would JUST love to watch Dr.House, Dr.Chase (cute!!), Dr.Foreman, Dr. Wilson, and the woman doctor who admires the sarcstic and insensitive Dr.House cure and make their patients have a second chance of their life. I will never be a hospital worker.hehe.

i think HOUSE is better than Grey's Anatomy .hehe.

Every episode really strucks me, it even makes me sob a little because of heartfelt moments.

And i like House's attitude -- sarcastic and insenstive, that makes the show laughable and interesting.

And am learning new medical terms and analysis from this show. It made me realize that even a little headache or cough can be an indication of a much severe disease/sickness... That even a normal woman can have two different sex organs(one's not visible, it's like she, i mean he, has more testosterones than estrogens in her system) that's gross, but i pity her. i just don't know if he/she could bear a child of her own.hehe.

ROCKSTAR SUPERNOVA

Ryan Star booted out????????? the hell what's wrong with the voters!!!! Storm should've been the one voted out this week! It never really came into my mind that Ryan would be done going home earlier. He's such a singer! helluva singer!! and a great attitude he has that made me admire him! ..it's just like what happened at last year's Rockstar INXS when Mig Ayesa was voted out..all were in REAL SHOCK.. anyhow, life goes on, the show must go on.. There's still Lukas! and Toby! and Magni! and Dilana! hehe..

today was

2006-08-31T23:31:00.000+08:00

a dreadful one..

went to makati for an exam. i arrived 30 minutes earlier than what was expected, then the one am supposed to meet there came 1 1/2 hrs after. So, all throughout those time waiting for that "special person" made me feel sleepy. Thank goodness, am just alone in that "chilled" room, and all i did was just stare outside the window, watching the cars pass-by and try naming their models. Most of them were corollas.wow.ahaha..exciting.ahaha..and so i became a sleepyhead for a couple of minutes.

and so ayun na nga, i was told to finish the exam in 1 1/2 hrs. But, unluckily, it went overboard their lunchtime and so she left me there and enjoyed eating her lunch, while am waiting for her because i finished my work already. And so, that's another 1 hour of waiting. Luckily (taena, luckily ba to), may minesweeper ang computer.shet.pinagtiyagaan ko. I also made a high score dun! 6 seconds! nax!ahahaah!(beginner's level only).. but man!!! was feeling nauseous because of hunger!! sshheesshh! if only i have no respect for the one i talked earlier, i should've left their office without her knowing! e wala e. mabait parin si pia. mabait na gutom. wow..

while walking towards greenbelt, hay, felt dizzy coz of hunger. I really pity my head and tummy that time. E i don't want to eat all alone in a resto/fastfood chain, and so i just take-out food from one of the places there, and rode a bus (the shuttle bus' still early so i opt riding a bus). hay nku, noise and air pollution in ayala station sucks big time!! and that made my head ache even heavier!

so ayun, the i went off to that bus, and i thought of riding an fx nalang instead of a jeep para relaxing naman ng konti. wow, I waited for an another 30minutes!! waahh!! e ako naman, wala ng pake that time kahit na super sakit na ulo ko e i still waited for an fx to arrive. Buti nalang medyo kwela mga tao around the place, and they're watching a pinoy movie in a nearby barber shop. Laughtrip ang scene! even though the plot's "mababaw".hehe. A number of very beer-bellied men were running along the shore, and the other people around them thought an earthquake's happening. To much exxageration, few coconuts fell onto their heads.wahahaha.. tama na kababawan.hehe..so there, the fx came, luckily, sa front seat ako and i asked the driver why it took him that long, he told me super traffic along the way. And so he opt to go on a longcut though no traffic at all. And i was very lucky coz along the way e malapit na bahay namin so i took off, and very luckily talaga, a jeep passed by and so i hitched that ride. cheaper pa! nax..

what a dreadful and nauseous day ..bow ...clap your hands ..

Rafols - Libre Reunion

2006-07-31T01:14:00.001+08:00

Rafols - Libre Reunion happened earlier at The Bayview Park Hotel in Manila and we went there, of course. It was fun seeing and meeting new people connected with The Rafols-Libre family tree. I never could've imagined there are a lot of Libres' all scattered from different parts of the country - from Manila to Bacolod to Cebu to even Mindanao !! wow! And even outside The Philippines! haha! Every minute was a good laugh during the 3hour get-together party. Each person speaking told 2 jokes at a minimum and all were just laughing out loudly. From How their grandfather had a lot of "Tribes" and were just so Cassanovas to someone describing himself as retired already because he's "retarded". Basta, all were just hilarious. Even our cutie, little, kulit relative Winter sang so loud under the table(literally-speaking) a song from the Magic Sing. Even Nacho Libre was put into the scenery wherein one relative asked, "was just wondering, is Nacho Libre anyhow related with us???"... ang galing...all were just witty.. Now i know where Papa and I got our roots.hahaha.. My dad brought 2 super ancient pictures of our ancestors and most of them were amazed and excited seeing their ancestors' family pictures. One picture's colored!come to think of it!?!During those old times, there exists colored-developed pictures?? They said that they had a technique during those times of putting color into those pictures.

Libre-Rafols consist of different types of people. There are the intellectuals, the Gwapas, the mestisilyos (omigad, what a spanish-era-sounded term a!hahaaha!),

hmm,, maybe papa and i could develop a website for the clan. Just to make the communication easier for the entire rafols-libre. And anyone from the clan can post their latest happenings or stories so that the rest would be updated with each other's lives. Isn't these ideas sound good?

Palawan again

2006-07-31T00:44:00.000+08:00

Am imagining and reminiscing my Palawan days again. And from that, I thought to myself, "I think the perfect job location would be any island resort in palawan, or any place similar to that."

When we visited last september of 2005 the island of Dimakya, in Coron, Palawan, wherein CLUB PARADISE is situated, the people working there were just the nicest. Maybe because they got carried away by the serene, calm, nirvana-like "workplace" they have there. The place really calms down one's entire body even one's soul. And am really telling the hardest truth in here. And so we chanced upon chatting with this mid-20s woman who works as a souvenir shop teller(during the day) and masseur at night. And we both lived in the same municipality!how coincidental!. And she told us about the perks she's getting from working at Club paradise, and that they have VL (vacation leave) for 3 months, etc. Man!! Those perks PLUS getting to work in an island as beautiful as Dimakya?!?!? HELL That would be, I think, the Perfect job in the entire world! haha!. No traffic, No POLLUTION (AIR, WATER, NOISE,etc.), GREAT facilities, Great Food, GREAAT SURROUNDINGS!! Nothing more to ask for!! You're there not only to work and earn money, but to commune with nature also, For FREE!!! hayyyyyy..... How I wish island resorts down there need graphic artists or industrial designers. haha. asa pa .. Dream On .. Dream On ..

My Mixed mind is composed of :

2006-07-13T01:30:00.000+08:00

My mixed mind is composed of:

My chilhood memories :
playing rough outdoor games,
gameboards/playing cards like
UNO (when t'was not yet famous here in the Philippines.hehe!sikat mga tao dito e.pasimuno ng trend.hehe.kapal)

DON'T HAVE A COW (The Simpsons)(o man, i really miss this gameboard! it was like a gambling gameboard for children.hehe..take note, with bet chips pa a! I searched for this gameboard in all corners of our house, but,sheesh!, didnt found it!maybe twas at my cousins'..how i wish all the pieces are still nice and preppy.

syempre, monopoly..hehe..at an early age a, we're playing that business-like kind of game.hehe..neighborhood kids here during those days were kinda intellectual a.Take note, playing for real estate?!? sshheeessshHH!!

and other gameboards.. and of course, playing with barbie dolls with Ria. we used to be super close and all..we even did skits for our barbie and ken.haha!sheesshhh now am laughing out loud here!haha!!

how i wish those days be ours again. Wherein all you can worry is how to own the best "realty property" in Monopoly, how to get most of the "chips" in Don't Have a Cow, how to run fast just to catch the Robbers, etc.. those simple problems..

man, but now, problems are pain in the ass and in my eyes and on my legs, in my entire body and soul. It's true that the older you get, the more harder the problems you'll have to face and deal with it.

hayyy, but now, i just wanna go and....search for my DON'T HAVE A COW gameboard and play with it!! wanna play?!?!

since childhood pala am a gambler na pala,hehe.. now am addicted to celebrity poker at channel35.hehe. wanna learn more of it..

and am just so into WHEEL OF FORTUNE. if only i could join in there (the USA version please), then, i'd be winning tons of dough and own a Lexus IS250 or a porsche or an audi..all of there prize cars are hot!

oh man, am sounding too materialistic now..well, it's just that i wanna play games. games that require strategy, brains, and luck. and winning isn't just earning pride and prestige, it also comes with CASH.hehe!

+ + + + + + + + + + +

ROCKSTAR's back. Now with a new band, SUPERNOVA, looking for their "perfect" lead singer.

my parents told me INXS will come and have a concert at ARANETA on august 15 (not sure)..and take note, alongside the band and their new lead singer JD FORTUNE, MIGS AYESA will also be there!!! isn't that GREAT!?!?!!! oh man am dying to see them LIVE!! But 1k for the upper box B? tough price for us.. but, i have earned money here..hehehe..they also wanna go.. And Am willing to pay for my own seat..yep, u heard it right.. am not kuripot anymore, like what some says about me.hehe.. I saw constantine Maroulis live...for free.. and that was fantastic! why not splurge on with MIGS AYESA and INXS? hehehe!!...abangan ang susunod na kabanata..hehe!

ok, about the SUPERNOVA thing.. those new contestant are still in the learning process. they still sing averagely. well, "partida" na rin 'cause it's their first week process. but am looking forward to the one who sang THE KILLER's "SOMEBODY TOLD ME" and the other guy who sang COLDPLAY's "DON'T PANIC".. the girls' there? well, it seems like they don't fit with SUPERNOVA'S aura (hello!?collaboration of metallica, guns n roses, and Tommy Lee?hehe) but i did have the chills earlier when i saw one girl singing "RING OF FIRE".. medyo bagay for the supernova.hehe. And i hate Courtney Love-wannabe girl who did mostly shouting when she sung. WANNABE.hehe

+ + + + + + + + + + +

i don't know if am going to be super flattered ir be freaked out knowing that someone "admires" me wherein he doesn't know me at all and vice versa, he's a total stranger to me. Man, he got my resume somewhere, and all those personal infos of mine, man, knows it already. That really freaks me out, seriously..at first, i thought of maybe someone's making me PUNK'D or in the local scene, WOW MALI..maybe my friends, but no. he's a total stranger!... man, am not that desperate for love or for even friendship to go and entertain as such situation. I know it's so usual for two people to be strangers at first, but, it's like he's stalking me. Am not proud with it.. well, he may talk to me about how nice he is and that he has no bad intentions at all, but man, i don't trust people that easily nowadays. In the past, i have given so much trust to those i love/loved/know/known and some just didn't treasured it. PIA_PRECAUTIOUS, that's what i am.. My biggest fear , and for some people also, would be being an "Old Maid". But, am not yet that too desperate for love right now. I read an an editorial article at THE PHILIPPINE DAILY INQUIRER last week and someone wrote this, " almost 1/4 of your life will be devoted to yourself. The rest would be being with someone else already." well, from that, all i can say is, am happy being single, doing freely anything i want without someone to make decisions on whether i should be doing this or not. Wherein i could go out with different people and friends without someone reprimanding me. Wherein i could sit by and lounge in a hammock along the shore alone, wherein i could find peace and serenity with the breeze of fresh air, sparkling look of the waves, sound of the sea going against the shore and rocks alongside, powdery-feel of white sand, and sunrays' going past my tingling skin till i get tan.hehe..

1/4 of my life is devoted to my one and only MOI.

Oh i love The OC.

WHITESNAKE

HERE I GO AGAIN

I dont know where Im going
But, I sure know where Ive been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
An Ive made up my mind,
I aint wasting no more time
But, here I go again
Here I go again

Tho I keep searching for an answer,
I never seem to find what Im looking for
Oh lord, I pray
You give me strength to carry on,
cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An here I go again on my own
Goin down the only road Ive ever known,
Like a hobo* I was born to walk alone
An Ive made up my mind
I aint wasting no more time

Im just another heart in need of rescue,
Waiting on loves sweet charity
An Im gonna hold on
For the rest of my days,
cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An here I go again on my own
Goin down the only road Ive ever known,
Like a hobo* I was born to walk alone
An Ive made up my mind
I aint wasting no more time

But, here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go...

An Ive made up my mind,
I aint wasting no more time

An here I go again on my own
Goin down the only road Ive ever known,
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone
cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An here I go again on my own
Goin down the only road Ive ever known,
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone
An Ive made up my mind
I aint wasting no more time...

But, here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go,
Here I go again...

am now an official OC addict

2006-06-18T00:15:00.000+08:00

Am an official OC addict!!!! its never too late, right?hehe.. It's already on its 3rd season but i still managed to understand the whole old OC thing. Thanks to Star World. They show the past 2 season.

WHY HAVE I CHANCED UPON LIKING AND LOVING THE OC?

>The PLOT !! well, i got to see part by part of them way back, just being curious of what's it all about..i didn't figure out the story so i just switched channels.. but it was just two weeks ago, when the episode's about going to a new school(Marissa Cooper's first day going to a public school). Well, what a surreal situation for me!! The following day was my first day at WORK! and was just feeling so new to that new environment, with new people, new obligations, all new!! so there...i felt so alone during those times..trying hard to fit in..well, time may heal and help that situation of mine..

>THEIR CLOTHES !! Coop's and Summer's outfits are just great.. Even Ryan's and Seth's.

>THEIR SETTING !! (location:Beach, their houses, etc.)

ad of course,
>THE MUSIC !!!! from Bloc party to The Killers to Rachel Yamagata to Ryan Adams to The Subways to Franz Ferdinand to Imogen Heap to Wolfmother!! all are just so UN-MAINSTREAM!! HELL GREAT!! NICE!! now that's more like it!! Galing!! Mercibeaucoup for their awesome sounds!!

Thank God local channels here didn't get hold of The OC..i hope abs-cbn , studio23 , gma7 , and/or abc5 will have no chance of liking and getting this show.. hehehe..

.....CALIFORNIA....HERE WE COME...... yeah yeah yeah!!!

Title: Reason Why

I think about how it might have been
We'd spend our days travelin'
It's not that I don't understand you
It's not that I don't want to be with you
But you only wanted me
The way you wanted me

So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
And we can hang our heads down as we skip the goodbyes
You can tell the world what you want them to hear
I've got nothing left to lose, my dear
So, I'm up for the little white lies
But you and I know the reason why
I'm gone, and you're still there

I'll buy a magazine searching for your face
From coast to coast, or whatever I find my place
I'll track you on the radio
And I'll sign your list in a different name
But as close as I come to you
It's not the same

So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
We can pat ourselves on the back and say that we tried
And if one of us makes it big
We can spill our regrets
And talk about how the love never dies
But you and I know the reason why
I'm gone, and you're still there

So, steal the show
And do your best to cover the tracks that I have left
I wish you well and hope you find whatever you're looking for
The way I might've changed my mind
But you only showed me the door

So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
We can pat ourselves on the back and say that we tried
And if one of us makes it big
We can spill our regrets
And talk about how the love never dies
But you and I know the reason why

Gnrals Barkley!!!

2006-06-12T01:07:00.000+08:00

am Soooooooooooooo addicted with Gnarls Barkley!!! Cee-lo and Danger Mouse!!

I REALLY REALLY LOVE EACH OF THEIR LIVE CONCERTS shown on TV!!

at the :
*TOP OF THE POPS (they're in aviation motiff),
*LATE NIGHT WITH CONAN O'BRIEN's SHOW (they're in Bathroom motiff, wherein they wore bathrobes, microphones being used are bodysrubs brushes, rubber duckies at the side, etc.),

*and ofcourse, their MTV VIDEO! IT's Just SOOOO PSYCHEDELIC!!SUCH AN INSPIRATION!! NICE PIECE OF GRAPHIC WORK!MAN!! that gave me inspiration!!

It hits my entire soul everytime i watch them play, seriously!!

And now i can't wait for their another appearance at TONIGHT WITH JAY LENO's SHOW!!! 2 DAYS TO GO!!! MAN!! I CANT WAIT!! I CANT even imagine what would be their new motiff!! maybe BARNYARD MOTIF??hahahA!!BLESS YOUR SOUL!!! I THINK EVERY CORNER OF THIS WORLD's crazy with this!!

And I can't stand with waiting for his appearance also at David Letterman's show scheduled august!!waaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

I think i'm crazy..... Just like you...!!hahahaha!

TAENA, HOW I WISH THEY WILL NEVER BE JOLOGS AND BE A MAINSTREAM HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES!!! I THINK THEY WILL NEVER BE loved by the MASSES here..hehehe!!

NOW I LOVE PSYCHEDELIC SOUL kind of music!!!

CRAZY

I remember when... I remember, I remember when I lost my mind.
There was something so thrilling about that phase.
Even your emotions have an echo - in so much space.
...And then your out there, without a care - yeah I was out of touch.
But it wasn't because I did't know enough - I just knew too much.

Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Probably...

... And I know that you were having the time of your life.
But think twice, that's my only advice.
Come on now,
who do you... who do you... who do you... who do you think you are?
Ha ha ha, bless your soul.
You really think you're in control?

Well, I think you're crazy.
I think you're crazy.
I think you're crazy.
Just like me.

My heroes had the heart to live their lives out on the limb.
And all I remember is thinking "I wanna be like them".
Ever since I was little... Ever since I was little it looked like fun.
And it's no coincidence I'm calm and I can die when I'm done.

But maybe I'm crazy.
Maybe you're crazy.
Maybe we're crazy.
Probably...

Go-betweens - Finding YOU

2006-05-21T02:40:00.000+08:00

ILOVE Go-Betweens, The Afters, The Magic Numbers, and People in Planes.hehe..nice bands!!

FINDING YOU
by : GO-betweens

What would you do if you turned around
And saw me beside you
Not in a dream but in a song?
Would you float like a phantom
Or would you sing along?

Don’t know where I’m going
Don’t know where it’s flowing
But I know it’s finding you

What would you do
If you saw me driving by in a car
The quickest you’ve ever seen me spin?
Would you smile and wave
Or would you bow and get in?

Don’t know where I’m going
Don’t know where it’s flowing
But I know it’s finding you

But then the lightning finds us
Burns away our kindness
We can’t find a place to hide
Come the rainy season
Surrender to our treasons
Can we even find our tears?

Don’t know where I’m going
Don’t know where it’s flowing
But I know it’s finding you

-------------------------
If You Talk Too Much ( my head will explode)
by: People in Planes

I don't want you to try and save me,
No I don't want you at all,
If we're through, then you don't blame me,
'Cause that won't do at all

If you talk too much my head will explode (x7)

You've no time to reconcile me,
There's no time left at all,
And I'll take my share, and then I'll vanish,
I want my share, that's all.

If you talk too much my head will explode (x7)

Can't complain, I feel sly (?)
You can get up and go

I don't want you to try and save me,
No I don't want you at all

If you talk too much my head will explode (repeat to end)
(Backing part: If you talk too much my head will blow)

2006-05-19T02:12:00.000+08:00

i am still awake!!! man!! pwedeng pwede ako mag-graveyard shift nito a!hahaha!

Sheesshh, Summer 0f 2006 has gone...

I'm living in a dream
Since Summer came in
a summer that's supposed to be a usual one
Til I realized it'll be memorable one.

So surreal, so enchanting
that we met during the night
under the stars, beside the shore
with the breeze and waves of Puerto.

How magical isn't it?
that our souls met in a place no one ever expected
in a time when it's so unusual
Is this God's Gift for both us?

You're the best I ever have
that's why I thank God
more so if you're His gift for me
if that happens, I need no more in this world.

Every word, every breathe
Every smile, every touch
every little thing in you
Is all I ever dreamed of.

The summer has ended
But my Summer hasn't
Will you let this happen?
Just wake me up if you will..

(Summer2005 writing ko)

*BOOM* Pia woke up from that dream...he woke me up months past..

I wanna dream like this again, with a new scenery and with a new person, with a more mature PIA

Man, I feel so lucky, having a lot of summer escapades, going to places people don't usually go, like Palawan,chilling-out at pristine-white sand beaches, enjoying schools of fish swimming around our human bodies, feeling the clean breeze of wind, tasting the saltwaters of south china sea, eating sumptuous dishes, all of it along with my super family... perfect enough but not quite..there is still missing in those kind of trips that i haven't found, that i haven't met, that I haven't touched, felt, tasted, smelled...and that's what I'm waiting for now..People often say you don't have to wait for something/someone to come into your life, that it'll just come the least you expected it..I know that...but...the F*%&K, can i just know if it'll show up to me??(hehe,mood swing pia,chill lang!)...the F*%K!!!when will we meet? (Chill pia, chill..hehe) when will i share these kind of moments with him?when will I be able to feed schools of fish with him?when will I gonna have someone to tag along with me to these escapades? My trips still lack someone.. My happiness cannot be complete and perfect if i do not have someone to share it with..

Have encountered 22 years of sunsets and sunrises, 22 years of enchanting night sky with stars flickering their light and moon brightly lit, they are my favorite things in the world;my happiness;my addiction;my life,.. but still haven't got to share it with my GOD's GIFT.. I would be 100% ecstatic each day of my life with him...

---from the TV series MONK , which i've been really hooked with recently..plus HOUSE !!! i really love both these shows! It helps me think logically, figuring things up in an intellectual way..

HOPE THIS SONG WILL NOT BE RELATED IN MY ENTIRE LIFE..cause that seems,feels drastic having this kind of life..ESCAPE before it's too LATE..

Like Eating Glass
by Bloc Party

It's so cold in this house
Open mouth swallowing us
The children sent home from school
Will not stop crying

And I know that you're busy
But do I know that you care?
You got your finger on the pulse
You got your eyes everywhere
And it hurts all the time when you don't return my calls
And you haven't got the time to remember how it was
It's so cold in this house
It's so cold in this house

I can't eat, I can't sleep
I can't sleep, I can't dream
An aversion to light
Got a fear of the ocean

Like drinking poison, like eating glass

It's so cold in this house
It's so cold in this house
It's so cold in this bed

We've got crosses on our eyes
Been walking into the walls again
We've got crosses on our eyes
Been walking into the furniture
We've got crosses on our eyes
For richer, for poorer, for better, for worse
We've got crosses on our eyes
We've been walking into the furniture

__________________________________________
love the sound and lyrics of this!!

Tulips
Bloc party

When you said tulips
I knew that you're mine
When I caught you there
Crying in the night
Wearing my jacket
Wearing that smile
I knew that I'd found you

This could be an opportunity

Were you unawares
Did it catch you out?
Or did it break you in
Right from the start
It's as pure as fire
It's as pure as snow
I knew that I'd found you

This could be an opportunity
If you promise to let it grow

'Cos you're the one I love

lyrics i love as of now

i am...

2006-04-14T02:07:00.000+08:00

I am sooper bored!! watched 2 movies straight!!- Undiscovered and In Her Shoes.. Sheeshh, made myself stuck in front of the TV?!wow!..Well, during the afternoon, we went Visita Iglesia..Just around the vicinity(as always.haha)..I wore our cfad shirt and my "katcha" pants that looked like a pajama.hehe.Pake ko ba.atleast feel ko pa rin ang beach.hahaha!..We finished at around 6pm. Ate something at Burger machine, our all-time favorite ( how unlucky i am, i only got a regular cheeseburger, not my usual JUMBO.hehe!)
..Then along our way home, we bought Liempo at Baliwag(newest establishment in our village.haha!).While waiting for the order, we had a little discussion and it's somehow like this:
Jam: pia, san cel mo??
pia: malamang, iniwan ko sa bahay.Visita Iglesia tyo now, bat ko ddalhin!?...
Jam: e what if, may emergency call kaya?! or what if bigla mgtext si Acosta syo ng "i need you..blah blah.."
pia: e ano pake ko kung magtext si Acosta?
jam: wla lng..baka lng..hahahaha!!
Papa: sinong acosta?
pia:wahahaha! nakalimutan mo na un?haha! tagal n kasi noh?
jam: ung guy na dumadalaw dati..
papa: o ano nga pla nangyari dun??
pia: wla na un..hehe
papa: sayang naman. mahilig pa nman un kay eric johnson.dami pa nman niya alam abut skanya.. and sayang, lagi pa nman nagdadala ng food sa bahay...and mabait pa nman siya..
Pia: a tlga? c eric johnson gusto nun? di ko lam un a! basta ako, kay joe satriani pa rin ako.. eh ganun e, wla na e..

That moment made me laugh in my mind. Because my dad didn't know what happened way back. And made me perceive how "sayang" yet i'd still smile about how he sees Mark as a nice person and how they clicked with the same interests in music,cars,computers,etc.

Well, how time really pass by so swiftly that it's been one year since we met at galera.haha. Can't believe it happened one year ago. Well, Galera still looks and feels the same as last year,(well, more constructions going on, getting crowdier, more gays). But this year, the experience was way fun and thrilling that only a number of times came in my mind what happened last year. Didn't take a chance of searching for another Shooting star there. I just had no time gazing at the sky because we(meri,ej,touki,meann,ian,lei, and i) all had fun! Tagay pa!hahaha!!!

"I believe in fairy tales and magic wands that cast enchanting spells..in Peter Pans and Tinkerbells. I believe in wishing wells, Shooting stars, and miracles..And my cherished miracle is You.."
>>>shooting stars???? not anymore!!! hehehehe!!

I need magic. I need enchanting moments. I need magic dusts. I need fairies. I need Fireflies around me to have this kind of enchantment. But i want those kind of Fireflies who don't lose their light. I don't want them to leave me all alone in the dark, all naive, waiting to be mine again.. But it seems that it doesn't exist anywhere in this world, even in a place where magic is possible. Nothing lasts forever..

Sheesshh!! ang daldal ko uli!! am really a night person!! *Boom* Am Gone!!Gutom na ko uli!!

Galera 2006!!

These were my 2006 Galera memories.. I'll never forget these. What the heck! It was such a fun one!! to think i was with people am not really close with, but still, the trip really will definitely be unforgettable! I wanna go back and have some more of these!!haha! Puerto Galera's getting crowdier each year but what the hecK?!, there's still some space left for those who want to chill while some are partying hard like hell.hehe Shot pa diyan!! this place won't give you any idea what day is it already as long as you're having fun. And that happened to me.

Before, i really don't give a fuck going back at Puerto Galera. Well, that was long ago. But, i took a chance, and now, I'm so thankful i have no regrets going back there. The whole experience was just a blast.. And am wishing for more of these..

2006-04-06T02:24:00.000+08:00

I have been wishing of fireflies flying in our yard. I really miss those nights when I see them go past my way, flickering their "light" and make me imagine and think I am in a magical place. A place where wishes come true when you have been given magic dusts by fairies flying around the enchanting place. Well, our house was just like that way back my grade school days.. I remember i have all the chance of catching some fireflies and placing them in a jar. Then, i'll go in a dark place so I could see them shine and flicker their light. And for a few minutes, i feel ecstatic and overjoyed on how beautiful they look like. They seem magical and all. But after some minutes, all their light was gone in an instant, or maybe in a slow way; like a candle losing all its wick and trying hard to put more light but chance was all gone. But i cannot remember what I did after the fireflies lost its light. It's either i threw them away coz they're dead or i let them fly away and be as free as a bird. I just can't remember.. I really just wish those times be mine again. How i wish fireflies will scatter and fly around our yard once again. How I wish our yard will feel and look magical again. Well, maybe not anymore. With all the pollution seemingly destroying their environment, our place.

And i wonder, if i were to be asked what animal would i be, i will definitely tell them, "i'd be a firefly". my reasons will be kept by moi.

Merci Beaucoup for the wonderful time I had with the Fireflies.

*Shucks ang daldal ko ngayon a. parang may biglang pumasok sa utak ko to think of fireflies. Well, i guess, super miss ko na makakita ng fireflies. I need them. I need magic. I need fairies. I need enchantment. i just don't know how,when,where,what it'll appear in my life.

*Boom!* am gone! just like fireflies that lost their light.

Summer na talaga!! one month na!haha!!

2006-04-06T00:01:00.000+08:00

Grabe it's been one year na pala since i stayed at Brave for 2months. am bilis.parang kailan lang. parang kailan lang na i had to walk along greenmeadows ave.(i think), under the sun, just to get to Brave. Damn, those days were hard. Commuting. arriving home so tired. But the Brave experience was helluva trip! i learned a lot. from commuting alone in a place i hardly know, learning new softwares (thanks to mark tan again.haha), dealing with differen people, working in a different environment (because it's a house, not the usual office workplace), learning new recipes fom manang cita(hehe), getting used with the ortigas center (i almost know all the roads there, believe me.even the building locations.ehehe), riding the MRT and LRT, walking alone in a business district, and other things in the real world.hehe. I also began to appreciate how lucky i am sometimes. But i also thought to myself how kawawa was I during those commute days.hehe. To think that my travel allowance was just not enough to buy something at Mega.hehe

Baccalaureate mass UST graduates 2006

i'll miss Beato Angelico Building. I'll miss our Beato, our classrooms, our elevators, our CRs, our tables and chairs, our chilly aircons, the view from our building(dennis trillo billboard, makati,sunsets, main building, the skies, the rain..(labo)), the fact that we have the pinaka-sosy building in UST and still we complain on how SO COLD our rooms were and how SO HARD to take the stairs when we were in some ust bldgs (wla kasi sila 3 elevators unlike us.hehehehehe)

Before Sunrise & Before Sunset quotes

2006-03-23T02:00:00.001+08:00

BEFORE SUNRISE

>I always liked the idea of all those unknown people lost in the world. If none of your family or friends knew you were dead, then it's like not really being dead. People can invent the best and worst for you.
>I can't help but feeling for those people that come inside the church, lost or in pain, guilt, looking for some kind of answers. It fascinates me how a single place can join so much pain and happiness of so many generations.
>If there's any kind of magic in this world, it must be in the attempt of understanding someone, sharing something. I know it's almost impossible to succeed, but who cares, really? the answer must be in the attempt.
>I feel this pressure of being a strong and independent icon of womanhood and not making it look like my whole life is revolving around some guy. But loving someone and being loved means so much to me. I always make fun of it and stuff, but isn't everything we do in life a way to be loved a little more?
>I have so many things i want to do in life but i end up doing nothing
>I don't need a man to feed me. I need a man to love me.

BEFORE SUNSET

>We are the sum of all the moments of our lives, and anyone who sits down to write will use the clay of their own life that you can't avoid. So when you look at my own life, I have to admit, I've never been around a bunch of guns or violence... but my life, from my own point of view, has been full of drama.
>I see the people that do the real work, and what's really sad is that the people that are the most giving, hardworking, and capable of making this world better, usually don't have the ego and ambition to be a leader. They don't see any interest in superficial rewards, they don't care if their name ever appear in the press. They actually enjoy the process of helping others.
>Memory is a wonderful thing if you don't have to deal with the past.
>Memories never finish as long as you're alive.
>If you don't believe in any kind of magic or mystery, you're basically as good as dead. --Einstein
>People just have an affair or even an entire relationship, they break up and they forget. They move on like they would havechanged brand of cereals.
>I feel I was never able to forget anyone i have been with, because each person had their own specific qualities; you can never replace anyone. What is lost is lost. Each relationship, when it ends, really damages me. I never fully recover. That's why i'm very careful with going involved because it hurts too much. I will miss of the person the most mundane things. Like i'm obsessed with little things. I think it's the same with people. I see them little details, so specific too each of them that move me and that I miss and will always miss. You can never replace anyone because everyone is made of such beautiful,specific details.
>I don't want to be one of those people who are getting divorced at 52 and falling down into tears, admitting they never really loved their spouse and they feel like their life has been sucked up into a vacuum cleaner. You know I want a great life. I want her to have a great life, she deserves that. But we're just living in the pretense of a marriage, responsibility, all these ideas of how people are supposed to live.

CHEVELLE

I really fell in love with this name. It's like am totally head over heels with this. I dunno why. I think the first time i got through this name was when i read a car magazine i bought for my dad. I just felt the "spark" with CHEVELLE. hehe. It's somewhat like am so damn inloved with CHEVELLE. And I promised myself that if i ever get to have a baby girl, i'll definitely baptised her with this name. Even though this car doesnt exist anymore, the name is still alive for those real car enthusiasts.

Chevelle Malibu, am so damn inlove with you... (eewww, rhyming a! hhmm, i should write a poem for this.haha! and if I am gonna make one, i'll post it in here.hehe!)

my weekend

2006-03-20T00:58:00.000+08:00

what a weekend ! we attended our graduation practice at ust (that 2-5pm was just a waste!). After that, mayos, meann, iris, benj, and i went straight to glorietta for the midnight madness. Well, all we did was to eat at food choices, and walked around glorietta, landmark, and gb3. Gosh, my legs were aching that time!. We went store by store, finding ideas and possible wardrobe for our graduation day. We went inside such expensive stores and gather up ideas.hehe. (parang "look for less" sa lifestyle network . hehe).Man! if only i have tons of dough, then i could have bought all those prettiest stuff we found like in K&company (the skirts there are lovely! i like the white one! and their tops, naman!!). Then after 2 1/2 hrs of tiring stroll around the malls, i went straight to hotel intercon. (Sorry eric, wasn't able to come by your party.thanks for invite though,.hehe) Shucks am so lucky my mom and my tita was in-charge of baby-sitting ate annemarie and hubby Frank's Li'l DEREK. That kid's adorable! And fun to baby-sit! he never cried,frown. All he did was to smile and play with us! We tried teaching him say words but all he did was to make sounds. We laughed when we thought of teaching him barok works like epol, mengo, oreynds..hehe. And the Niggah word.hehe.but that was all a joke. But he's still cute! Hay ansarap sa Intercon!hehe! libre!Nice view of Edsa,the Fort, and the Far South!hehe! Even Derek loved looking by the window! Well anyways, that same night was St.Paul Makati's JSProm (i only knew last night that there exists St.Paul makati.ehehe)anyways, when we chanced upon seeing there Prom , it kinda sucked coz there's no fun in it. No party sounds. All was quiet. Looked like there's a seminar going on, the only difference was that they wore ball gowns and suits.hehe! Thank God both JSproms we had were fun.hehe! And past midnight i saw some of them walking towards glorietta 4 wearing their gowns.hehe!(just like what happened in ours way back) Grabe, that was 5 yrs ago na pala!..Anyways, we babysit "mister" Derek because his parents went to a party..and not just a normal party a. A Social gathering of prominent and distinguished business people in our society. Well, sila Fernando Zobel, The Tambunting's, etc lng naman,hehe..And wow, my ate annemarie dated Frodo(fernando) way back a.What an honor! But Annemarie didn't accept Frodo's offer. And i don't know why.hehe.am not that chismosa. But still, she's very lucky to have Frank. But it's not the main point i want to share it with you. What made me amused and touched with the situation is that even though Fernando Zobel and Annemarie were married already and have a family of their own, they still communicate and reunite. They met Kit Zobel and it's like frodo and annemarie weren't dating before (well that was way back..) kaka-aliw noh?!... In the morning, we were again on breakfast buffet in Jeepney. And all i can comment on it is that they served the same stuff just like they did last week! They should have varieties naman oH! If i were to stay there fo one week, i'll be sickened by the usual breakfast they serve even though their food and drinks were sumptuous. And as usual, Li'l Derek had all attention there,even at the lobby. Even Edu Manzano (haha! i should have brought Piratd DVDs and put it right in front of his face and ask him, hulihin mo nga ko!?hehehehe). He said "excuse me" to Derek because he's blocking his way. Then after the breakfast, we bid our goodbyes and take cares. My mom and i went to SM and bought some stuff. Made a little shopping for the summer.hehehe. (I AM so excited with summer, not the graduation.hehe. I dont even care what to wear for that day.hehe) Beach,anyone?ehehehe!!! Jam just came home from Galera. If only there were no grad practice last saturday, then i could have experienced Galera again, beach.sunset.nature..grad prac sucks!hehe

quotes from my "unlimitxt" peers.hehe

2006-03-15T01:40:00.000+08:00

Due to the ever-powerful UNLIMITXT gimmick/offer of Globe Telecom to us, my friends have been forwarding tons of messages to each other,to me (even though i just receive and receive their messages and seldom reply or forward them such messages.hehe). And because they often make my inbox "message memory almost full" , i have to make it to a point to erase unimportant messages just to have enough space for incoming texts. But some of their FWD msgs are interesting. Some give such philosophical views on life,love,realtionships,etc( just like my two favorite movies.hehe) well, here are some forwarded messages that may make you think and ponder :

"ang buhay ay parang bato.. It's hard..=p (hehe.funny as it may sound but it made sense,noh?!)

"Life has its own way of makins us smile even when you wanna give up & lose hope. Coz certain surprises come your way just when you thought you'd never smile again."

"Ito ang chain txt na siguradong ipapasa mo.. Pangit ang huling bumasa nito" (oonga nman!haha! that made me forward it to someone!hahahA!)

"Dont be afraid to take chance..even if it might get you hurt..just be strong & take it..coz you might be slipping that single chance that would change your life and make you really happy."

"Diba ansarap isipin na maraming nangangarap mahalin ka? pero sasaya ka ba kung marami sila? at kung ang kaisa-isang pinapangarap mo, ay hindi pala kabilang sa maraming yun na naghahangad sayo.."

"Someday, Someone will walk into your life and make you realize why it never worked out with anyone else.."

"if you keep doing what you've always done, you'll always get what you always got. So when you want something you've never had, you've got to do something you've never done."

"some of romances end for all kinds of reasons. But when all is said and done, they have one thing in common : they are shooting stars; a spectacular moment of light in the heavens; a fleeting glimpse of eternity. And in a flash, they're all gone." -The Notebook

"sweet words are easy to say, sweet things are easy to buy. But sweet people are difficult to find..Life ends when you stop dreaming,hope ends when u stop believing, love ends when u stop crying,friendship ends when u stop sharing...to love without condition, to talk without intention, to give without reason, and to care without expectation.."

"insensitivity happens by CHOICE, not BY NATURE..coz human beings all have feelings..it's just that there are some who pretend not to feel, and some who act so blind not to see.."

"..there are so many reasons why the night is long..it's longest when i'm lying awake, thinking everything and nothing at the same time..watching the shadows that lie ahead..going over all of it..back & forth..the night is seductive, it fools you into thinking everything is going to be ok..but if you can't trust your feelings, how do you know what's real..?"

"for every realationship ended, i feel damn good.Why? 1.i've been successful in eliminating an incompatible partner. 2.one more waste of time relationship avoided. 3. a step closer to finding the right one!"

"..that violent, possessive, insane need to see and touch and laugh with him; that volcanic passion that controlled my being and could not be sated..no other man who'd looked up at me and made me feel humbled and powerful at the same time..or ignited that same desperate desire to prove that i could be more and better than i was.."

"..And if that happens, if i have already lost him, i will atleast have gained 1 very happy day in my life. Considering the way the world is, one happy day is almost a miracle" - Eleven Minutes (by Paulo Coelho)

"for the next hours, we will be exposed to the day's demands..it is now that we must make a choice..because of calvary, we are free to choose..and so today i choose to love..no occassion justifies hatred; no injustice warrants bitterness..today i will love God and what God loves.who God loves..You.."

"sometimes you have to just forget the rules, follow your heart and see what it takes you..Never apologize for saying what you feel because that's like saying sorry for being real..never regret anything you said or did because at some point 'twas what you wanted..True strength is being able to hold it all together when everyone else is expecting you to fall apart."

"a shooting star passes quickly but when it does, it lights up the whole sky and other stars just fade away..that's how you are with me..You light up my life..and for a moment, nothing else matters.."

"di bale ng tamad... hindi naman pagod" heehehehehe!!!

"every experience brings out something good. Good times could be good memories.Bad times could be good lessons. U never lose. U only gain from life. It's just a matter of perspective.."

"sometimes in life, we ask for someone we can have and keep. But there's nothing much you can really do.. but to wait for the person whose quest in life is nothing else but to fine you too.."

"The face can speak of a thousand emotions but that can easily mask what the heart truly feels.Don't be foolds for the happiest face may be masking the most hurting heart."

"People can change no matter how hard they try not to. As you grow older, you mature and each new level of maturity comes different ideas, different needs nd wants.The person who was perfect for you at 20 could be the person you hate when you're 35. Find someone who will grow with you, change with you, and cry with you. A person who fits in where you lack a person whom you can fit in for when they're lacking. But what about the perfect person? He/she doesn't exist. There are no perfect people, only people who are perfect for each other."

"Always remember that God makes happy endings, If it's not happy, then it's not the end. If your love doesn't work with that person, it just means that, someone else loves you more.."

"God will never leave you empty. He will always replace whatever you've lost. If he ass you to put something down, it's because he wants you to pick up something better.."

Before Sunrise !!

2006-03-15T01:01:00.000+08:00

Finally!! I got hold of Before Sunrise and Before Sunset in one package, in one dvd!!plus other Ethan Hawke's moview(which i don't mind.ehehe). Finally i watched Before Sunrise just earlier and it took me 2hours to watch it even though it's a 1hr40min flick.hehe. It's because i often pause-and-play-and sometimes rewind the scenes just to internalize what Jesse and Celine are saying. Thank God it has Captions in the entire movie!! Now i don't need the entire screenplay copy of both movies!! Now my frustration with it has ended!haha!I have lessened one frustration in my life!hehe!

I love both movies!! Even though some of you may feel sleepy watching this because it has no actions, suspense, or anything that will make you scream,shout,or anything. Some of you may look at it as a nonsense flick. But for some,like me, made me really really admire Before Sunrise and Before Sunset. Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy exchanged philosophical thoughts with each other that really made me think and ponder that what they're all saying are true in this world. They talked about love, life, relationships, politics, generations before and now. The cinematography may be simple yet it's elegant.

Well, these are some excerpts from Before Sunrise that i really went on and on:

>> I always liked the idea of all those unknown people lost in the world, if none of your family or friends knew you were dead, then it's like not really being dead.People can invent the best and worst for you.
>> I can't help but feeling for those people that come inside the church,lost or in pain, guilt, looking for some kind of answers. It fascinates me how a single place can join so much pain and happiness of so many generations.
>> If there's any kind of magic int this world, it must be in the attempt of understanding someone, sharing something. I know it's almost impossible to succeed, but who cares,really? The answer must be in the attempt.
>> I fel this pressure of being a strong and independent icon of womanhood and not making it look like my whole life is revolving around some guy. But loving someone and being loved means so much to me. I always make fun of it and stuff, but isn't everything we do in life a way to be loved a little more?

activities today...to ponder..

2006-03-12T23:37:00.000+08:00

what i did today :

morning: heard mass;some li'l kids walking on each aisles while their mom/dad follows them. the kids sitting on the empty pews, their playing like they've known for so long. ang cute.

right after that, we went straight to Hotel Intercon; jeepney cafe. had breakfast buffet with ate annemarie and her husband and cutie li'l kid, Derek. And after that, they went off to Amanpulo for one-week stay. That's a perfect vacation,huh?! sheesshh!!..Derek seemed so ecstatic meeting new people and coming in the Philippines for the first time. He never cried. He's so lively earlier like he've known us for so long.

then, we went off for a li'l walk to glorietta. canvassed a lot of gadget stores. The employees seem very eager to sell their products on us. they even opened a a still-boxed sony digicam so we could try on the latest sony W-30. They sales-talked us like we're very close with each other. "try this one,po" "ayan ok diba?" "galing a!"..they talked to us in close contact, literally a.haha. It's like we've talked and known them for so long..

from makati to our house, we passed through at about 10 honda jazz.. wow. they're all making me jealous with its owners. It looked like its a call/sign we should be owning a Jazz in future time.haha

i just watched Crash in Lifestyle network. It starred Matt Dillon, Ryan Phillippe, Terence Howard, Sandra Bullock, Brendan Fraser, Ludacris, etc. It seemes like it's an all-star cast movie. The screenplay was great. The background music was totally uplifting and made me feel the flick, you really can't predict what's gonna happen next, you'll really see and feel RACISM is very visible to any part of this world, expecially in the USA. Black people are often not trusted by white people, they often associated with such crimes,etc. Some race have been fooled, mistreated, underestimated by the Americans and other races. Crash made some unforgettable lines like, (the black guy who owns a Lincoln Navigator talking to the carnapper who's also black. they're both inside the vehicle after the car owner confronted the white cops) "you made me feel embarassed. You made us embarrassed". In short, Crash is outstanding and deserved to be the Oscar's Best MOtion Picture and Be7st ScreenPlay for this year.

After that, i watched a bit of Tony Bennett and K.D. Lang's concert in ABC5. I really love their songs. I will never ever forget Louis Armstrong's What a Wonderful World. I started liking that song when I watched Meet Joe Black, my favorite movie. And am feeling am getting older now, liking and loving these kinds of music and stuff..hahaahahh!! but their lyrics really makes sense ha! You'll cherish and love nature around us, the smiles person give to you, the simplest joys life could offer to us will definitely makes us love life, Love God.

Nyt!! sleepy nako!

F1 has started..

2006-03-12T06:27:00.000+08:00

Bahrain << F1's starting line. just watched it last night. The track looks difficult for the old and new f1 drivers. And this made it difficult for Kimi Raikonnen. haha! first leg of the 2006 F1 and his car just crashed and went into pieces. What a loser! haha! Good thing Button's ride was all safe. hehe. and there's these 2 new guys; Speed and Rosberg? wow. are they cute? and some driver's swtiched on to new teams, new engines collaborated with new companies. wow. all is new. Most of the cars did new paint jobs (except for renault and red bull , i think).. This year looks exciting!! except that i will be watching it with my dad only.just the two of us. well, jam? i don't think so.haha. vrrooom vrooom ! start your engines! (but for the commentators, please stop using the word reckon ..am sick with it.haha!)

I wish that instead of a mercedez benz being used for the starting lap, and for emergency use (i dont know the term for these), why not use a Honda Jazz ?? ehehehe! and i'll be the one who'll drive it. hahaha! so that kimi, jenson, juan pablo, michael, and the rest of the F1 drivers be pissed off at me.hehehe.

Amanpulo!

2006-03-12T06:21:00.000+08:00

Amanpulo http://www.amanpulo.net/
>>> I think that's the most expensive beach resort in the Philippines! Situated in Cuyo, Palawan, it is a private island resort complete with facilities one can desire! but it's just too costly!! very very costly!. Price ranges from $600-$3000 !! OMG! OA!! If one really really wants to impress their girl/spouse/whatever, you should bring them here with you. But I tell you, it's very,very expensive. I'd rather go stay at Club Paradise again than spend (or make your guy) spend hard cash just to experience Amanpulo. Hey, Club Paradise and some resorts are just the same as with Amanpulo. They also have facilities like what they have. They also offer sumptuous dishes. They are all located in Palawan, they have coral beds beside each of the islands there, one can dive and snorkle, one can relax and feel the same white, powdery sands, turqouise waters, the breeze of the winds, hear the birds chirping, waves of the sea, etc.. It's just the NAME!haha! So, for the Nth Time, I am recommending you to stay and enjoy Club Paradise instead.hehe(Club Paradise must give me a lot of credit with these..hehe)

But what the heck, Our relative's (plus her husband and cutie li'l child) going to go there later right after our brunch talk at Intercon. hehe!Lamon agaiN!hahaha! SHeeshh!! am so jealous of them! They're going to experience Amanpulo!??! am so jealous with their li'l kid! haha! with such a young age, the toddler will see and feel Amanpulo first-hand!?! Lucky you!!sshheesshh!! What is it gonna be like staying in that very expensive resort,huh?! Now am wondering..hehe.. But you know what, I think they deserve to experience Palawan, to experience Amanpulo. They're a couple. Their hearts matched. They clicked. The place looks very romantic and all. Let's just leave Amanpulo for the happy couples.hehe. COuples like Jules and assunta (i heard they've been to that place and it's their favorite.But i just don't think they're a happy couple.haha!), Claudine and raymart (rumors tell that they're planning to go there for their honeymoon (aaaww,how romantic..) (sheeessshh!!am beginning to be a kris aquino and a boy abunda for being nosy about showbiz personalities..eewwww!)

Am not yet married. But if i am now, and my husband's filthy rich(hehe! the Term), I must experience Amanpulo. Am just curious and all with that costly resort.

Am so addicted with beach resorts/shots/activites lately. All i search in the internet's are about these. My life's so lame.haha. I wanna go and experience beach again. Galera?Anyone?hehe! If only i have someone i can easily tag along with me to go such places, i'll be definitely not searching in the internet about Philippine Resorts and instead experience all of them every weekend.hahaha! in My wildest dreamS!haha! SHeeesssshhhhH!!!!!!!

To be or not to be a single

2006-03-08T13:50:00.000+08:00

To be or not to be a single..

Am so tired of being single. But for those who are in a relationship now, some of them wished they're single now. So from that, We are all not contented with what we have now. Inggit si Single sa may bf/gf, inggit si Committed sa mga Single.

Well, one reason why those who are committed now desperatelty want to be Single again is that Maybe... they're so fed up with their "significant other". For instance, i have talked to this person, his gf's "selosa" thing is getting through him now. And he just feels pity for his gf that's why he's still committed with her. That's what he told me. "Naaawa lng kasi ako sknya"<
To be in a relationship may be the happiest feeling one can ever have IF both parties trust each other, love each other with No pretentions, communicate with each other very well, are God-fearing, are happy being with each other, cry with each other, help each other, etc. No such relationships can be considered perfect, but if they both work it out, their ride of life will just run smoothly..no regrets..no harsh words...

After i heard his story, at first i was thankful am single now, am not experiencing what they are having now,etc..But for a few minutes, i realized i still want to be in a relationship..But Am not rushing things up..am not the type of person who'd go in a relationship after a few weeks,or even days of courtship..am not that desperate..i just thought,why rush things up and be committed with someone if you know you're both meant for each other, that there are SOOOOO many days and months and years and decades to come to learn, to love, to teach, to have fun with him.right?! nuff said.

am officially a bummer starting today!haha

2006-03-06T23:07:00.000+08:00

My dad's frustration is to be the best guitarist alive, i guess.hehe..Almost every night, he watches these. never ata siya magsasawa.hehe..Maybe webster(our labrador) will be hookes with it eventually because he often hears these while he's sleeping.

I still believe in paradise, but now at least I know it is not some
place that you can look for because it is not where you go..

It's how you feel for a moment in your life when you are a part
of something. And if you find that moment, it lasts forever.

Aguas de Marco (Waters of March)

2006-03-02T21:42:00.000+08:00

Aguas de Marco - Elis Regina

É pau, é pedra, é o fim do caminho
É um resto de toco, é um pouco sozinho
É um caco de vidro, é a vida, é o sol
É a noite, é a morte, é um laço, é o anzol
É peroba do campo, é o nó da madeira
Caingá, candeia, é o Matita Pereira
É madeira de vento, tombo da ribanceira
É o mistério profundo, é o queira ou não queira
É o vento ventando, é o fim da ladeira
É a viga, é o vão, festa da cumeeira
É a chuva chovendo, é conversa ribeira
Das águas de março, é o fim da canseira
É o pé, é o chão, é a marcha estradeira
Passarinho na mão, pedra de atiradeira

É uma ave no céu, é uma ave no chão
É um regato, é uma fonte, é um pedaço de pão
É o fundo do poço, é o fim do caminho
No rosto o desgosto, é um pouco sozinho

É um estrepe, é um prego, é uma conta, é um conto
É uma ponta, é um ponto, é um pingo pingando
É um peixe, é um gesto, é uma prata brilhando
É a luz da manhã, é o tijolo chegando
É a lenha, é o dia, é o fim da picada
É a garrafa de cana, o estilhaço na estrada
É o projeto da casa, é o corpo na cama
É o carro enguiçado, é a lama, é a lama

É um passo, é uma ponte, é um sapo, é uma rã
É um resto de mato, na luz da manhã
São as águas de março fechando o verão
É a promessa de vida no teu coração

É uma cobra, é um pau, é João, é José
É um espinho na mão, é um corte no pé
É um passo, é uma ponte, é um sapo, é uma rã
É um belo horizonte, é uma febre terçã
São as águas de março fechando o verão

ENGLISH VERSION

WATERS OF MARCH

A stick, a stone, it's the end of the road
It's the stump of a tree, it's a little alone
It's a sliver of glass, it is life, it's the sun
It's the night, it is death, it's a knot, a fish hook
It's a wild peroba tree, it's a knot in the wood
Cainga Candeia, it's a matita pereira
It's wood of the wind, the spot where the waterfall drops
It's the deep mystery, it's the want it or not
It's the wind blowing, it's the edge of the hill
It's a beam, the void, mountain ridge's delight
It's the rain, raining, conversation by the river
Of the waters of March, it's the end of fatigue

It's the foot, it's the ground, a march down the road
Little bird in your hand, pebble for a slingshot
It's a bird in the sky, it's a bird on the ground
It's a book, it's spring, it's a piece of bread
It's the bottom of the well, the end of the road
Distaste on the face, it's a little alone
It's a stake, it's a nail; at sum, it's a tale
It's a point, a place, it's a drop of water dripping
It's a fish, a gesture, it's a silver coin shining

It's the morning, it's the brick arriving
It's lumber, it's the day, it's the last straw
It's a bottle of liquor, a splinter in the road
It's the plan of a house, it's the body in bed
It's a stalled car, it's the mud, it's the mud
It's a step, a bridge, it's a toad it's a frog
It's bit of brush, it's the morning light
It's the waters of March ending the summer
It's the promise of life in your heard
It's a snake, it's a stick, it's Joao, it's Jose
It's a splinter in the hand, it's a cut on my foot
It's a step, a bridge, it's a toad it's a frog
It's Belo Horizonte, it's the three day fever

É a promessa de vida no teu coração

Waters of March
Words & Music by Antonio Carlos Jobim

E7 A AM7 Em6 A7
A stick, a stone, it's the end of the road;

A7/6 D9 BbM7 A
It's feeling alone, it's the weight of your load;

A+5 A7/6 D9
It's a sliver of glass, it's life, it's the sun;

D6 Dm6 Bm7-5 A
It's night, it's death, it's a knife, it's a gun;

AM7 Em6 A7 D6
A flower that blooms, a fox in the brush;

BbM7 Fdim Bm7-5 A
A knot in the wood, the song of a thrush;

AM7 Em6 A7 D6
A myst'ry of life, the steps in the hall;

BbM7 Fdim Bm7-5 A
The sound of the wind, and the waterfall.

E7/6 A AM7 Em6 A7
It's the moon floating free, it's the curve of the slope;

A7/6 D9 BbM7 A
It's an ant, it's a bee, it's a reason for hope;

A+5 A7/6 A7/9 D9
And the river bank sings of the waters of March;

BbM7 Fdim Bm7-5 A
It's the promise of spring, it's the joy in your heart.

A spear, a spike, a stake, a nail;

A7/6 D9 BbM7 A
It's a drip, it's a drop, it's the end of the tale;

A+5 A7/6 D9
The dew on the leaf in the morning light,

D6 Dm6 Bm7-5 A
The shot of a gun in the dead of the night;

AM7 Em6 A7 D6
A mile, a must, a thrust, a bump,

BbM7 Fdim Bm7-5 A
It's the will to survive, it's a jolt, it's a jump;

A AM7 Em6 D6
Blue print of a house, a body in bed;

BbM7 Dm6 Bm7-5 A
Car stuck in the mud, it's the mud, it's the mud;

AM7 Em6 A7
A fish, a flash, a wish, a wing;

A7/6 D9 BbM7 A
It's a hawk, it's a dove, it's the promise of spring;

And the river bank sings of the waters of March;

The stump of a tree, it's a frog, it's a toad;

AM7 Em6 A7 D6
A sigh, a breath, a walk, a run;

BbM7 Fdim Bm7-5 A
A life, a death, the rain, the sun;

A+5 A7/6 A7/9 D
And the river bank sings of the waters of March;

Dm6 BbM7 Fdim A
It's the promise of life, it's the joy in your heart.

Before Sunrise @ HBO

2006-02-21T00:28:00.000+08:00

Have watched Before Sunset again earlier 6pm a@ HBO!! was so lucky i didn't missed that chance!! so surreaL!!! Shucks i really really love this movie. am so addicted with it. I have to watch it's prequel, Before Sunrise.
Everthing Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke about there really really makes sense. so you all better watch this flick i tell you.

Earlier, while still waiting for the movie to start, i looked upon the sky (as i usually do everytime the sun gets to set), see if the sunset looks nice and resplendent, I came in my mind that this habit of mine has something to do with how i really adore this movie.. So surreal!!! ang Galing!!

Learned a new phrase (based from this movie):
"Consuming frenzy"

I got away from the consuming frenzy days i have while doing my thesis. Everyday was a rush, a panic, disordered, made my brain violently react with problems that came up during those days. And now I am totally relieved. I just want to relax and chill-out with friends any place that'll soothe my entire body system. I want to receive rewards for what i have greatly accomplished last feb15,2006.

oohhh, i really wanna have a DVD copy of this para mas madaming taglines ako masulat dito so i could share it with you.. and so that i could gain wisdom and knowledge on life. Phrases from this movie made me ponder badly, on life, relationships, memories, love, anything..and that made mre relaized a lot of things. And am super grateful for the scriptwriter and director (Richard Linklater) of this flick.

"Memories never finish...It's just so Alive.."
"..If You don't believe in any magic/mystery, then it'll be as is.."
"Each person has its own personality...One cannot change them.. You cannot replace someone because they gave us specific details in our life.."

I love BEFORE SUNSET !!!!!! next to MEET JOE BLACK !!!! i want the complete screenplay of BEFORE SUNSET !!! But i can't see any in the Internet!! i thought internet's supposed to give us ANY infos on something, but the complete script of this movie is nowhere to be found in here!! It sucks!!

Before Sunset (the movie)

2006-02-07T22:29:00.000+08:00

I just watched Before Sunset @ HBO starring Ethan Hawke and an actress that I really don't know. All was plain discussions. It was kinda boring at the start. But as their topics began to be interesting, that made me awake and stay up to finish the 1hr 15min movie. EVERYTHING THEY TALKED ABOUT MADE SENSE, perfectly. I was tahnkful for myself i watched it. It gave me so much realizations in life, relationships, past, memories, etc. I must get hold of its script. haha. All that they said was an eye-opener for me. I can't furthur more state specifically what i learned and what they said in that movie because they are to many to mention. Just see the movie and you'll agree with me.

should've have

2006-02-07T00:20:00.000+08:00

The recent Ultra Tragedy c/o Wowowee was a depressing event that strucked the entire country, even BBC and DW Tv. They blamed the Event Organizer, the TV station, the crowd itself, the host, the Guards, and even the Philippine Government! wow. All people do was to blame and point who must be guilty for what happened.

We really can't blame the crowd because they are very eager and willing to go to that nonsense noontime show. Shows like this makes these people hunger for "easy" money by trying their luck. Some shows can be an exception for this reaction because their questions for the contestants are "answerable" compared to the ones given in " Wowowee", wherein their questions are very difficult even the Mensa members or just who study in UP have little chances that they'd know the answers! Now that's what you call Gambling and guessing! Shows like this must be able to encourage these people on a different perspective in life. Sociologist Randy David was right. TV stations take advantage of these situations. Situations of hunger, poverty, etc. They stoop to the people's level and maintain it. They don't want to venture and take risk of making new concepts, take to a better and higher level so that these people may also go with the flow with it. People's knowledge have always been in that same level. It seems like these Philippine TV stations UNDERESTIMATE the knowledge of the masses. Just like in the MOVIE industry, recently, Indie films have shown and grown in the country. They are beginning to be Big hit. And we are thankful for that because their storylines are very unique from the usual movies big producers and directors made. Now that made a BIG LEAP of taking risks! That's why i am also a frustrated indie-film maker. (being a video-editor would be fine for me.haha)

Crowd control was also a problem.. Tsk tsk . I should've recommended my last year's project in school, called "Apple GPS DEVICE - for crowd control". It is a PDA-sized gadget that can be a mini-megaphone( to call attention of the rowdy crowd), can detect where the crowd point is located with a built-in GPS software, and when detected, must be transmitted to local police stations, fire stations, or whatever concerned unit, and from that, they can go directly to the site by just following the map seen in the PDA's screen. Too bad, it was just a project.hehe...

well, whatever the final decision for that case may be, i hope and pray and wish and beg that people may(better yet MUST) learn from what happened and try to avoid that kind of situation for the betterment of the society.

Joey Ayala - Organik or organic, whatever you like.heheh

2006-02-06T16:28:00.000+08:00

Joey Ayala 's song, " Organic " sounds funny and comical but if you read the lyrics carefully, it is really a striking and powerful workpiece. Who doesn't want to have someone who'll sincerely tell and show you how "organic ang pag-ibig ko sayo, ...."
Who doesn't want to have someone who'll give and feel you true love? of course, no one, right?!?! basta galing ng composition ni Joey Ayala. tsk tsk. i salute you.

Organik

organik ang pag-ibig ko sa ‘yo
hindi genetically manipulated organism ako
hindi isang cloned experiment
ang nakikita mo
ako’y organik, organik

organik ang pag-ibig ko sa ‘yo
walang karburo o food coloring
ako’y hinog sa puno
walang herbicide o pesticide, walang fertilizer ako’y
organik, organik, organik, organik

at kung tayo ay mamasyal sa
virtual reality sa
ocean, rainforest at endangered specie
sa cable tv

remote control ko’y binitiwan na
ang channel mo’y di papalitan sa
aking mundo ikaw ang bio-diversity
chemical-free

organik ang pag-ibig ko sa ‘yo
hindi genetically manipulated organismo ako
hindi isang clone o anime ang nakikita mo
ako’y organik, organik
organik, organik
organik, organik
organik, organik

Organic

my love for you is organic
I'm not a genetically manipulated organism
What you see is not a cloned experiment
I am organic, organic
my love for you is organic

no artificial ripeners, no food coloring
I ripened on a tree
no herbicides, pesticides or fertilizers
I am organic, organic

should we go to seein virtual reality
the ocean, the rainforest
the endangered species on cable tv

I’ve relinquished my remote control
and won’t switch your channel
in my world you are bio-diversity
chemical-free

my love for you is organic
I'm not a genetically manipulated organism
not a clone or a cartoon character
I am organic, organic

Why i love cebu ....

2006-02-06T16:26:00.000+08:00

Cebu

I don't care about Cebu not until :

I learned that I have ancestors from that place. Lola Pat's from that place. My father side has a lot of relatives there that i haven't met. Jam, papa, and mama (in short, except me)have already visited them there. Ako nalang ang hindi.hahaha!

i learned some funny-sounding cebuano words like Samokan, ngil-ad, buwang, gwapa.....hehehehe!!!

I learned that there lie such unspolied islands with nice shorelines like Malapascua and Bantayan Island. I saw great and jaw-dropping pictures of these places
in flickr.com and these made me amaze and want more of these places. I even made a friend who's from that place. And he really made me so convinced to visit
these islands. In time, pag may pera and may mahatak ako na friends ko, i'll visit and discover these places... and take A LOT of pictures.. of the sky, the shore, and the underwater.

I heard of URBANDUB and SHEILA & THE INSECTS.
I got hold of Urbandub's old mp3 songs such as gone , a new tattoo , quite poetic, versus , under crisis, soul seaching , and runaway. I also got the chance to borrow their latest album, "Embrace" from
a friend and copied all of it (was feeling guilty since I did that, pramis!!! But i Promise, i will purchase their orig one in the future, pag pumasa na ko thesis, or better yet, if someone gives me that.haha!) The lyrics+tune+drumbeats are all perfect for me. It fits right. Plus their music video for their song " alert the armory " really strikes me lalo na ung part na may Banca passing through two
screens tas different and color ng sky, man, galing!! Sana in the future Urbandub will make videos for their other songs like Reveal the Remedy and End Of SOmething... ALL of their LYRICS caught my attention and am so addicted with all of their songs!! Because ot the song Reveal the Remedy, now i often use the phrases, "could've been more, should've.." hehe! People can
easily connect with their pieces. Galing! And How i Wish talaga they will not venture into MAINSTREAM... if that happens, it'll be a big disappointment for all of their fans!! Sayang, they weren't part of UST's LIVRE concert.. Panay Mainstream bands lang ang invited like Mojofly, itchyworms, Hale, etc... and
ang walang katapusang Parokya Ni Edgar ...Plus, cute din si gabby alipe . hehe. kahit may scar..cute!hehe. When will i ever get the chance to see Urbandub in person???? When??? WHEN?!!??!? hayy...

I was amazed with Sheila & the Insects when I first heard of their song Quick to Panic @ NU107. I thought it was from a foreign, specifically a british band. I thougt Wrong!! Kaya was shocked talaga and felt really proud tas taga-Cebu pa! wow! And their video for Quick to Panic is such a masterpiece!! galing ng Graphics and animation! can't believe it came from a local band talaga.
As what i stated above, sana Sheila & the Insect also will not venture into MAINSTREAM...

My parents left today to visit this place for some important matters to manage and fix. wow, for one week, we're all alone here.ahahaha! saya!! kaso missed them na!!haha labo!!

I am also a frustrated......

2006-02-04T16:18:00.001+08:00

I am a frustrated Honda Jazz Owner!! i want it either white, gray, or red!!

I want it all-geared up with accessories ...from Banawe!~!!hahahahahah

I want this but i dont want to learn how to drive!!! weird noh?!?!? haha.

labo... basta..all i want to be is a honda jazz owner!!!

2006-02-04T15:57:00.000+08:00

As what Aerosmith tells us in one of his songs, "pink is my favorite color.." , i am also a fan of this color. BUt that's the past.
NOw, Orange is my favorite Color. I dunno why..

Maybe because i am so fond of Sunsets..Everytime I pass by Roxas Boulevard
all the way to Coastal Road, i always wish I encounter a resplendent sunset. In a month, i get to see an average of 7 sunsets (i think..haha)
All looks magical, all looks fantastic. It just makes me say "ooohh, that's perfect..".. I often wished i brought along our digi videocam so
that I could savor it even am at home. But ,hey, we can see this enchanting sun set anywhere. That's why when it's possible,
i take pictures of it right in our yard.Yes! and all looks nice! i really love 5:15-6:00pm. That's when i get to see this glorious wonder.
It makes my day complete.

Sunrise also looks nice after all. I just realized it's same enchantment every monday of this year. Ok rin pala. But can't see it clearly.
It's just the color of the sky and how the sun's covered by the clouds that seems nice.

Maybe because orange makes pictures look greater than the normal light. That's why I prefer yellow light over the usual flourescent lighting.
People look great in pictures when shot with this light. i had pictures of myself way back with an effect like in this picture.. super nice! haha!
and, Man!!THis guy looks hot!! Gwapo! perfect! Kalbo!hahahah! plus if he has a volvo, more than perfect siya!hahaha!.

Why Does It Always Rain On Me
Travis

I can't sleep tonight
Everybody saying everything's alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights

Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning

I can't stand myself
I'm being held up by an invisible man
Still life on a shelf when
I got my mind on something else

Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning

Oh, where did the blue skies go?
And why is it raining so?
It's so cold
I can't sleep tonight
Everybody's saying everything's all right
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of the lights

Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning
Oh, where did the blue skies go?
And why is it raining so?
It's so cold
Why does it always rain on me?
Why does it always rain on....

Every Day Is Exactly The Same
Nine inch nails

I believe I can see the future
As I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose
But then again
That might have been a dream
I think I used to have a voice
Now i never make a sound
I just do what I've been told
I really don't want them to come around again

Oh, no

Everyday is exactly the same
Everyday is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Everyday is exactly the same

I can feel thier eyes are watching
In case I loose myself again
Sometimes I think I'm happy here
Sometimes, yet I still pretend
I can't remember how this got started
But I can tell you exactly how it will end

I'm writing on a little piece of paper
I'm hoping someday you might find
I'll hide it behind something
They won't look behind
I am still inside here
A little bit comes bleeding through
I wish this could have been any other way
But I just don't know- I don't know what else I can do!

Favorite sounds right now

The Vanished
Favorite Scar

Remember when we said we'd never part
No purple tears and break each other's heart
Now I'm the fool for trusting this far
'cause now you are my favorite scar

So tick tock bout time for the pain come in
When you said we'd all be friends in the end
I hope you'll find what you need
'cause I won't be those things in your magazine

Oh, oh, oh, you were my star now
Oh, oh, oh, you're my favorite scar

So wake me when it's over
And tell me when the feeling's gone
I always knew that you'd be my favorite scar

Your burn is slow but it burns me to the bones
I'm comatose then I start to walk alone
I hope you find what you need
But can I have my heart back 'cause it's starting to bleed

I miss the way that you smiled
I hate it when you cried
When we said goodbye

Oh yeah, that's what you are, you are my favorite scar

When the sun came up,
We we're sleeping in,
Sunk inside our blankets,
Sprawled across the bed,
And we we're dreaming,

There are moments when,
When I know it and
The world revolves around us,
And we're keeping it,
Keeping it all going,
This delicate balance,
Vulnerable all knowing,

Sing like you think no one's listening,
You would kill for this,
Just a little bit,
Just a little bit,
You would, kill for this

Sing like you think no one's listening,
You would kill for this,
Just a little bit,
Just a little bit,
You would, you would...

Sing me something soft,
Sad and delicate,
Or loud and out of key,
Sing me anything,
we're glad for what we've got,
Done with what we've lost
Our whole lives laid out right in front of us,

Sing like you think no one's listening,
You would kill for this,
Just a little bit,
Just a little bit,
You would,

Sing like you think no one's listening,
You would kill for this,
Just a little bit,
Just a little bit,
You would, you would....

Sing me something soft,
Sad and delicate,
Or loud and out of key,
Sing me anything.

20 minutes with god and the angels

2006-01-17T15:04:00.000+08:00

Last night, i stayed for about 20 minutes above our water tank. The Night's breeze was very pleasant. The environment you can see from it'sview was way too great, seeing the big full moon, countless number of stars, and feeling and listening to the winds blowing past my entire self.Those 20minutes had been a refreshing moment. i just felt so alone, with the night sky. I just felt i was in close contact with the heaven. It's like i owned the Full moon and the stars for 20 minutes. Something whispered in my mind and told me that the moon is "my god" and that the stars are "my angels". During those 20minutes, i told "my god and my stars" my problems, my insecurities, things that's been bothering my mind and wasting my time. I asked and begged and hoped and wished and prayed to them that they would give me all the solutions to my problems. Yes, i felt selfish for that moment. I thought to myself, hey,i have been so unselfish to others, making me forget myself. i often think of others first rather
than for my own sake. I often pray for others and little less for me. And so for that 20 minutes I became selfish. I asked for knowledge, wisdom, sharp mind, confidence, and less of being lazy and being confined in the house just doing nothing. I felt for the past days, i was not progressive. My mind's not functioning very fast. I also felt I'm wasting so much time doing the same, plain stuff. I want to escape from the usual and be adventuruous. I want to go somewhere that's fun, exciting, that'll catch my breath, that'll make me yell for more. I just want to finish this painstakingly, dificult thing
in college called thesis. I just want to graduate, go out of college and shout, "Bye College, Hello Business World!" i am so tired of thinking better solutions for my thesis. That's why I asked "My god and My angels" to help me progress with this "last school project" and finish it with sucess and laughter.

"So you take a picture something you see...."

The full moon 3 nights ago was soooo nice!! but i didn't have the chance to take a picture of it! i just wasted the chance!

"...In the future where will i be..."
i have no fu^&*ing idea...

"....you can climb a ladder up to the sun..."
well, i just did climb up the water tank and went near with the Full moon.. seems close huh?!

"...or write a song nobody has sung..."
just a poem...can anyone offer their music piece to fit with my poem?

"....0r do something that's never been done"
hhmm, scuba dive naked??hahahaha!

Something to ponder..

2006-01-13T23:55:00.000+08:00

Every experience brings out something good. Good times could be Good Memories. Bad times could be Good Lessons. You Never Lose, You only Gain from Life.. It's just a matter of Perspective...

I love.....

2006-01-13T23:46:00.000+08:00

i love BURGER MACHINE!!! JUMBO CHEESE BURGER!! SULIT!!! am craving for more!!!!!!!! pati SANSRIVAL NILA!!!!

you can take a picture of something you see..

2006-01-09T18:15:00.000+08:00

You can take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or a write a song nobody has sung
Or do something that's never been done

this part of Coldplay's TALK is such a BOOM!! sobrang ganda!!

want to meet and greet the Meanest and Insanest person?

2006-01-09T17:11:00.000+08:00

If someone wants to meet and make friends with the MEANEST and INSANEST person (these are
the only words perfectly appropriate to describe him and her, even though they're just "imbento" words),
then tell me so and i'll introduce you to them!haha! i just don't know if someone really wants to be friends with them, or
just get close to them.haha!..i think they may be infectious and contagious, coz if you get to encounter them, you might also be MEAN
and INSANE!! really!.. that's why i will never, ever dare myself to be in contact with them, again..

Why am i reffering him as the MEANEST person?
>>Because my weird side of me commanded my system to offer the virtue of friendship to him, wholeheartedly. Even
though he made so many actions that really pained me in the past, i still wanted friendship. Silly me noh!? BUt, because
he's such a different human being, he denied my offer! SUCH a MEAN person,right?! And why did he came with that answer?

It's Because He and his Girl (again) are SO INSANE... Insane in such a way that they think am the bad girl, making chaos
in their so-called weird,problematic life. Am not a bad girl. I don't have any Bad intentions or whatsoever. I only just want Friendship, that's all.
nothing more.nothing less. they think the wrong way... another word that can be connected with it? PSYCHO...

Now the world's seemed rotated 360 degrees in that situation. They made me feel am the Bad girl. They think am the bad girl.
...I just thought, I will NEVER FEEL GUILTY If I ruined their relationship because i had,have, and willhave NO BAD intentions
or whatsoever at all... SO, mean and insane guy?!?Just FEEL and THINK WHO SHOULD BE GUILTY...

NOW, my curiosity has come to an end. I feel so relieved!! ANd am so Thankful for it!! Am also sooooooo thankful i already know the real side of him, INSANE AND MEAN.
And am also SOooooo lucky i don't get to experience what their life is right now --- we have a hunch that they have a love Child..that's
why he often told me way back that he still has a big problem ...tsk tsk..they didn't took care of themselves..too bad. just wish them luck.

so who are they? it's the galera guy and his ex (again)

SO, who still wants to meet and greet the MEANEST AND INSANEST person??? just tell me, and i will be at your service. But just make sure
you bring along with enough vitamins and mask for you and me if you don't want to get hold of their contagious disease...

biggest fear

2006-01-07T17:41:00.000+08:00

Biggest fear in my life : losing someone - a friend, loved ones, relatives, and of course my family..

i really just can't accept the reality that people do come and go. wala nman ako ginagawa masama.. i do cherish those people, but they just do not treasure it. nakakahinayang lang talaga.. i just dont want to lose the friendship we had before. sobrang Big gift na un for me. And i'd be very thankful if the friendship still stays intact no matter what happened before... hay, ang bait ko na talaga!! may ginawa na nga masama ung iba, but i still want the friendship we had before?! Oo naman..that's why losing someone is my biggest fear e..lam naman nyo yun ,right?!

love melts ..

2006-01-06T23:55:00.000+08:00

my Ust friend brought an unknown chocolate brand. In its packaging it states, " Romance, Loving, Melting ". At first we were laughing about it. Looks like it doesn't fit with the product. But i realized, hey, Love melts! literally! sounds funny yet kinda true, right?! Love melts in mysterious ways (haha baduy!).. and those 3 words seem to fit with the product. Chocolates are often given to loved ones, right?! and chocolates do melt (except M&Ms,haha)...therefore...love melts. haha.. so if someone gave you or you intend to give someone chocolates, don't accept it, and don't continue on with your intentions. ..chocolates melt, and so does love .. haha. it just fades away, slowly..til it's gone..forever.... now my brains working logically!haha!

my head really aches Big time

2006-01-04T11:56:00.002+08:00

my head feels so much pain now! because of the thesis!! gives me such stress it kills ME!.. a panic inside my brain, the rush flowing within that system really pains me.. can't think of a much better solution for my thesis.. all i get is just simple answers.just that.. the thesis makes me crazy! plus some personal problems stucked in my mind..man! i just wish and pray and beg and hope this will all go to an end!! an end with happiness and success.

who is this person?

i just cnt help myself from reading ur blogs...just an advice, forget about galera guy...i know him, he's a nice guy, intelligent and sweet but...u cn never trust him with his loyalty and consistency...esp in making decisons-choosing who to love and all...he has a lot of options...tho ur still lucky...move on gurl! smile! chin up! =)

>>>> well, thanks for the comment you gave me.. helped me a bit..but you do not know how it feels to be in my shoes..it's easy to say that but once you're in this situation, you can't do anything but think...

but,who are you? am kinda curious why you said that to me.. you seem know this galera guy personally..

i wish

2006-01-03T22:46:00.000+08:00

i wish i could have a life just like what sea turtles have, every day of their lives, just swimming through their splendid surroundings, no rush, no chaos...just serene, calm, quiet place..a nirvana.. wherein one cannot feel any panic in rushing things due the next day, wherein one cannot encounter such people who could give you a headache, tears, misery, and other negative things in this world, wherein you can feel just yourself and the underwater nature, that's all.. no feelings of panic, despair, etc.. all the sea turtles could see are just pleasant things, nothing more.. but i come to realize that, well, it's kinda not adventuruous and thrilling their lives are because they aren't having any difficulties in life. There isn't any excitement at all... now, am glad am a human being. a human being capable of receiving alot of thrills in life, moments of happiness, moments of sadness, it's just thrilling...exciting.. but it still wish at some point in my life, i could have a life like what sea turtles get to experience... a calm, serene, peaceful, problem-free life... i just want to live near them..place like an isolated, unspoiled beach..like Palawan...like Dimakya Island...

christmas and new year's eve

2006-01-02T00:56:00.000+08:00

2005 was way different than the past years i had before. so many things happened that made me learn ALOT. made me realize that past is past. made me learn so much about guys.. feelings of happiness, sadnesss, bitterness, hatred, revenge, and others made me learn and understand life much better. and am so thankful for how the year has gone by.

christmas eve and new year's eve was way different now that Lola pat wasn't and will not be with us now..physically.. but in time, all of the Mogarte clan will reuniteand have fun in God's kingdom...playing pekwa and blackjack with cheap sugal..

Moritz, Dreams, GG

2006-01-02T00:48:00.001+08:00

well, whatever and wherever life takes me to, i will just continue on with being PIA... a pia, full of dreams, who wants to share it with her GG someday..

Am now watching Antonia , a german 5-part special movie in The Lifestyle Network, while typing my year-end blog. Have wathced it the second time. it gave me thoughts in life.... Moritz Ahrendoff = cute!!haha! Halo..

"...Alright, that was my moment with loneliness. i'm not afraid of feeling lonely, but now I'm going to put that loneliness aside and know that there are other emotions in the world, and i'm going to experience it as well.. >>>Tuesdays with Morrie

Bitter or not, here I come.... 2006!!

2006-01-02T00:31:00.000+08:00

Bitter was (and still) one of the words i often use in my mind and in my mouth. "ang bitter mo..!", "AKO?bitter?nde noh?!"So many words associated with this word --resentful, regretful,pained, hurt, hating, grudging... before i understood the word, i just use it as an expression. But latelty, i began feeling it, within me, within my life... but now it's the official start of a new year, i must get rid the pain, the regret, the grudge, the bitterness inside me. Beingbitter has nothing to help prosper my life, with my new life in 2006. i feel the need of revenge. Revenge and battle against people I detest, who made me feel the bitterness inside me. i musn't be feeling this way. But there's something in my system that commands me to be a "Mean girl". but being mean in a good reason, i guess so.. why a good reason? because i want to take holdof something that i really want to happen...that is to change some people be a better man, to learn from their insensitive doings. I am, in some weird way, want to to help them. If only i am God, they'll be thefirst human kind that will gain my being helpful. I often pray to God that He must help people know their mistakes and learn from those things. But when will this happen? when a certain person still hasn't changed for better? or i just can't see it now because he's nowhere to be found. BUT I DO BELIEVE IN KARMA...that'll be the most silent and clean way of sweet revenge..

i am bitter again. But i must get rid of it. It's ruining my system.. but it kinda helped me gain weight..haha!! OF ALL THESE TIMES, MAN! AM SO HAPPY!i can't believe 2 kilos have been a gift for me for being bitter!it's so ironic, don't ya thinK?! or is it just because it's a holiday season, where sumptuous meals have been feasting my eyes till this very moment..well, whatever the cause may be, i must put in mind(and my stomach?!) thateating will do great in my life!!or should i say, continue on with being bitter just to maintain myself on eating more than enough food....NAH!! HELL NO!!

i really love my friends..reallY!! they make me realize i am not worthy being with someone who's been a problem-giver(or sharer), that there are soooo many people around me that's worthy of my love and happiness, i am justkinda blind and deaf with it..i am so stucked and concentrated with a useless human being.. well, now it's the start of a new beginning, so long,Goodbye Bitterness!

"There's gonna be a million people that love Allen Iverson. There's gonna be a billion people that hate Allen Iverson. Concentrate on the ones that care about you and keep Steppin'." >>Allen Iverson (RBK)

"There's gonna be a million people that love Pia. There's gonna be a billion people that hate Pia. Concentrate on the ones that care about you and keep Steppin'."
