it keeps getting stranger by the day...

on hiatus... again

2008-10-07T18:40:00.002+08:00

Just moved in to my apartment last Sunday, and i still don't have internet. Plus, my monitor's busted. So it might take a while before I can be online again. I'm here at an internet cafe right now. Haaay life!

Kerol/Plee, tara inom na tayo dun! No smoking nga lang hehehe! =)

Aahay... had a picture of you in my mind

2008-09-17T23:59:00.005+08:00

Listening to old songs make me happy lately. The songs of my generation, 80's and 90's rock, pop, and yes, high school music!

Hello boyband!! *paging Plee bwahahaha*

Fine, laugh! But this song has been on loop in my mp3 player since yesterday. I won't deny that this upbeat song was, and is still, my only favorite from this famous but now defunct Brit boyband. Hindi ako fan pero masaya talaga yung song eh. Hehehe!

Enjoy!

I want to post the video, kasi natatawa talaga ako sa kabadingan ni Stephen Gately. Ahahahahaha!

LP #22 Ayaw Ko!

2008-08-31T18:27:00.003+08:00

Haaay salamat naman at mayroon na rin akong akda. Matagal din akong nanahimik sa LP.

Mahilig akong maglakbay. Pangarap kong makapunta, kung papayagan lang ng oras at bulsa, sa lahat ng mga magagandang tourist destinations di lamang dito sa Pilipinas kundi sa buong mundo.

Yun nga lang... takot akong sumakay ng eroplano.

Maraming beses na rin akong sumasakay ng eroplano pero hindi ko pa rin maiwasan na kabahan ng sobra pag papalapit na ang petsa ng aking paglipad. So paano ko ito nakakayanan? Dasal lang ng dasal!

a rant

2008-08-13T14:17:00.000+08:00

Wow, it has been quite a while since I updated this blog. I'm sorry, a lot of things, complicated stuff, going on right now. I don't have the luxury of time, or even the energy or interest, to really "surf" the net.

My sister's getting married and moving out next month. Early this year, I also decided to move out of the house once she leaves, as initially suggested by my sister. So I started looking for my own place and fortunately, I found a good one, and can start moving in early next month. When I told my mom, she was obviously upset. I understand her worries as a mom. Anywhere in Manila is a dangerous place, living alone is a big risk to take. But I want to try to be independent now. And for reasons that only me and my sisters' know, moving out is a smart decision, even if it is a little risky.

Now I feel like I just told them the worst news they could possible hear ever. Na parang may nagawa akong masama na hindi na ako pwede mapatawad.

This too shall pass...

Here's a toast...

2008-07-16T22:40:00.004+08:00

Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon

I will really miss you, ding! Enjoy your much needed rest and vacation. I will see you soon. =)

LP #14 Tatak Pinoy

2008-07-06T22:08:00.003+08:00

Kahit saan... sa kalye, sa beach, sa katabing karinderya... patok na patok talaga sa mga Pinoy ang INIHAW! Isaw, betamax, adidas... matibay ba ang sikmura mo? =)

LP #12 Itay

2008-06-19T20:26:00.003+08:00

Itay...
Kahit gaano ka man kakulit...
Mahal pa rin kita...

Marunong ka rin pala mag emote? Hahaha!

Thanks so much, cuz! Thank you for everything! I love you to bits!

LP #11 Kalayaan

2008-06-16T21:23:00.004+08:00

Minsan ba nararamdaman ninyo o naiisip ninyo na para kayong preso na nakakulong sa sarili ninyong bahay? Isang hakbang lang, nasa inyo na ang kalaayaan. Pero dahil sa mga iba't ibang limitasyon, hindi nyo ito makamit?

2008-06-09T11:28:00.003+08:00

Something I got from PostSecret:

"No one knows what a struggle it's been lately... but I held on one more day."

I don't usually rant in my blog but this time I'm desperate. I can't say why, I can't share the details because, to quote Hazel in her blog:

"As much as I would love to talk about it and shout it out to those who would listen without being judgmental. I simply can’t because, they will get judgmental. They will think bad thoughts. They will speak behind our backs. They will ruin us."

To my friends, please don't ask for details, and please don't take it against me if I don't. Just tell me what I need to do to survive an ordeal... if I can't go out as much as I would want to anymore. I'm just so lonely.

To all Artemis Fowl fans

Playlist

2008-06-07T18:43:00.002+08:00

I copied this from my sister Ces. Now I'd like to play along hehehe!

Taken from the songs in my current playlist:

You had this look that of an angel, it was such a bad disguise

Truth is not kind and you say neither am I

And i feel hopelessly weighed down by your eyes of steel

I just can't look, it's killing me and taking control

We all have a sickness that cleverly attaches and mutliplies

I will sit and earn the ransom from up here

Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know you're wrong

Promises mean everything when you're little and the world's so big

Your friends they stand around they watch you crumble, as you falter to the ground

I've been on the outside, looking in

My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof

I wasn't jumping for me it was a fall, it's a long way down to nothing at all

There is nothing in the world that i ever wanted more than to feel you deep in my heart

LP #3 Ihip ng Hangin

2008-05-29T22:35:00.004+08:00

May kwento kung bakit ito ang napili kong litrato para sa tema ngayong Huwebes...

Ito ay kuha noong mabakasyon ako sa Boracay kamakailan lamang kasama ang aking ka-opisina. Kami ay nagpapahinga at nagpapa- tan at sa isa sa mga kainan na walang tao, para libreng libre ang upuan at payong sa tabing dagat. Nag order lang kami ng pagkain at inumin para kahit ilang oras kami doon ayo ok lang.

Sobrang init nitong araw na ito. Kaya't laking gulat na lang namin nang bigla na lang lumakas ang hangin at nilipad ang iba naming mga gamit. Kasama na ring nilipad ang napaka laking payong na ito na aming sinisilungan at walang tigil na nagpa gulong gulong sa buhangin. Nagulantang ang serbidor ng kainan at dali daling hinabol at sinagip ang nililipad na payong. Ang galing ni manong! Hahaha!

Sa lakas ng hangin, kaya nitong dalhin ang malaki at mabigat na payong na ito.

LP #8 Tubig

2008-05-22T00:08:00.006+08:00

Ang mga beaches natin dito sa Pilipinas ay pwede nating ipagmalaki sa buong mundo. Maraming mga turista ang bumibisita sa bansa natin para magpahinga at maglibang sa mga magaganda at malilinis nating tabing-dagat. Maswerte tayong mga Pinoy at madali lang para sa atin na pumunta sa mga sikat na beaches na ito. Kaya huwag nating kalimutang mahalin at alagaan ang ating mga karagatan.

Mahalin natin ang tubig. Bawat patak nito ngayon ay mahalaga.

Tagged: Top 10 Songs of the 90's

2008-05-18T10:41:00.004+08:00

Tagged by Plee. And tama silang lahat... bakit 1o lang?? Kulang! Hahaha!

Anyway, thanks ding! I enjoyed doing this. I'm now downloading the 100 Greatest Rock Songs of the 90's. Hahaha!

--------------------

10) No Rain (Blind Melon)- Must be sang in every karaoke night. Hahaha!

9) Runaway Train (Soul Asylum) - The disturbing video struck me the most.

8) Selling The Drama (Live)- I'm very much a fan of Live, and of all their songs (and I love all of them), this is my favorite.

7) Plush (Stone Temple Pilots) - I was still in grade school when this became a hit. I remember one day I was watching the high school students' Pep Rally at the gym, and I was awed by this Senior (or probably Junior) who began strumming the song's intro. I loved the song.

6) Counting Blue Cars (Dishwalla) - Hands down, I'm a Dishwalla fan! I brag that I have ALL their albums. Hahahaha! This is the song that made me one.

5) Silent Lucidity (Queensrych) - My sweet escape song. When I need to forget and be numb, even for a little while.

4) Far Behind (Candlebox) - My ultimate angst song. I can imagine myself in a band playing this song, me behind the drums, and just letting it all out with every strike.

3) Cliffs of Dover (Eric Johnson) - It's the ultimate guitar solo. I can never get enough of those rockin' guitars!

2) I Want You (Savage Garden) - Oo na oo na!! I adored them. And i lovED the gay guy! Besides, there would be no "Ple" without them. Right, Plee? Hahahaha!

1) Shimmer (Fuel) - This song always reminds me of that day of the Blue Butterflae at Caylabne. (Nikki and Plee... BWAHAHAHA!) And this song will forever be applicable to me.

Now I'm tagging: all those who read my blog, if you're up to it. =)

LP #7 Umaapoy

2008-05-16T23:20:00.003+08:00

Hindi madali maging isang "fire dancer". Sila'y nagsasanay para sila'y gumaling sa kanilang sayaw. Hindi maiiwasan na mapaso ng ilang beses pero sa huli, napeperpekto nila ang kanilang "routine" at maraming tao ang humahanga sa kanilang galing.

Parang buhay lang... hindi madali ang takbo ng buhay, at napakaraming beses kang mapapaso at masasaktan. Pero kung may tiyaga, tiwala, at pasensya ka lang, makakamit mo rin ang mapayapa at masayang buhay, kahit hindi man ito perpekto.

During my sit-in session with one of our top agents (may "summer classes" kasi ako. hehe!)

ME: gaano ka na katagal dito sa loans?
GIRL: mag one year na sa August.
ME: wow tagal na rin pala!
GIRL: oo nga eh, parang kailan lang.

two seconds pause...

GIRL (singing out loud, with matching nginig sa boses): "parang kailan lang, ang mga pangarap ko'y kay hirap abutin..."

Bwahahahaha!!!

Friday is 89.9 Friday Magic Madness day in our team. We tune in the whole day listening to the hits of the 80's and 90's. Growing up with that music, we normally find ourselves humming or singing along to the songs being played.

This morning, everyone was quiet. Advertisements on the radio were being played.

All of a sudden...

Boy (out loud): "five-five-five fifty-five-five-five-fifty five-fifty five.... greenwich delivery!"
Everyone: BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

Ay sya, tama ba namang maki-kanta sa jingle sa radyo! Bored siguro.

LP #5 Malungkot

2008-05-01T20:59:00.004+08:00

Hindi ako "alcoholic", maniwala kayo, pero alam ko na sasang-ayon kayo sa akin na ang alak ay nakakatanggal ng lungkot o sakit, kahit na panandalian lamang. Kaya karaniwan nating naririnig sa ating mga kaibigan kung tayo ay may problema, "iinom na lang natin yan!"

Sana lang ganung kadali at ganung kabilis matanggal ang lungkot o maging manhid sa sakit, na sa isang inom lang at pag gising kinabukasan, wala na. Pero alam naman nating lahat na babalik at babalik din ang sakit pag wala na ang amats natin.
