masyado ng magulo

Ang oras di lang tumatakbo, paminsan-minsa'y napagtritripan na rin nitong mandaya - kaya lagi na lang ito nananalo.



Ang mga pagkakamali, tumatambak na.



Ang mga araw, di na pwedeng balikan.



Ang mga gabi, di na pwede ibalik.



Ang mga ngiti, mahirap takpan.



Ang mga luha, mas magandang pagmasdan matuyo.



At para mawala ang luha, mga luha rin ang pinanghuhugas.



Dahil magulo na.



Dahil wala ng nakakaintindi.



Malamang, pati na ng Diyos.

bec the last thing i need is confirmation

Screw Doreen I blame Doreen for my current melancholy.

Darn.

I mean, really. I've always wanted to disprove the claims of my schizophrenia but really, not this way.

Cheers. Here's to another weird and ambiguous post.

Must love them.

PS I am now going to be famous worldwide.

because behind it all, there's still a hint of love left (whatever kind of love that may be)

After all the emo posts, the bashing, the reform, the nights and days and afternoons, happinness is still possible.



I was kind of surprised myself. I guess there's still that in the world.



But I'm kind of scared of extreme happiness, you know. I have this mentality that after a happy exprience, it will be followed by a sad one with the same kind of degree or intensity.



I wish I wasn't so paranoid.

yet there's that reason to smile

And I just hope and pray that you'll save me.

Please do. I badly need you.

Comfort in your strangeness

-Cynthia Alexander-

woke up this morning

I was staring at the ceiling

Cracks and roadmaps and highways and landscapes

I have seen

I have been

to places far and deep in my mind

only to find

Comfort in Your Strangeness

Of moving shadowss

when I call the wind by name

rushing Firewater in the dark of a cloud

I have seen

I have been

to places far and deep in my mind

only to find

comfort in Your Strangeness

we are slaves to the crimes we commit

in fits of passion we shame

we are nothing

we are nothing

we are nothing

we are nothing but

the dust on Your feet

dying to be born again

singing Ether Water Fire singing Earth Singing Air

I have seen

I have been

to places far and deep in my mind

only to find

Comfort in Your Strangeness

I have seen

I have been

to places far and deep in my mind

only to find

Comfort in Your Strangeness

and yes, i perfectly understand if you think i've gone mad now

... Because I dunno, maybe I want more than revenge. At the same time, I'm asking myself if all this is worth it. What will I gain, really?



Though it feels good to know that I don't belong to the losing side, that I really can't empathize. I've been there and know how awful it feels. I've got what I asked for. It's exactly what I asked for yet, I still suffer... Just a bit compared to you, at least. All I have to do is listen to your crap, after all.

I'm wrecking this evening already and loving every minute of it.
Ruining this banquet for the mildly inspiring and...

When you're in black slacks with accentuating, off-white, pinstripes
Whoa, everything goes according to plan.

I'm the new cancer, never looked better, you can't stand it.
Because you say so under your breath.
You're reading lips "When did he get all confident?"

Haven't you heard that I'm the new cancer?
Never looked better, and you can't stand it

Next is a trip to the, the ladies room in vain, and
I bet you just can't keep up with, (keep up) with these fashionistas, and
Tonight, tonight you are, you are a whispering campaign.
I bet to them your name is "Cheap", I bet to them you look like shh...

Talk to the mirror, oh, choke back tears.
And keep telling yourself that "I'm a diva!"
Oh and the smokes in that cigarette box on the table,
they just so happen to be laced with nitroglycerin.

I'm the new cancer, never looked better, you can't stand it.

And I know, and I know, it just doesn't feel like a night out with no one sizing you up.
I've never been so surreptitious, so of course you'll be distracted when I spike the punch.

the supposed freedom that comes with being free

I'm free, so says the constitution and the status of being single. I can shout, kick, cuss as much as I want and won't give an effing care about what people say.



The problem with me is, I'm too kind and it would take me a while before I realize that I'm mad and should've told you off or something.



So there.



Shut the fuck up. You can't dictate what I think, what I say and who I bash. You don't own me.



I can bash as much as I want, low as it may sound. I'm being a hedonist for a while, see and I do whatever makes me feel better, whatever makes me happy.



I can call anyone a bitch and if you're affected, hurt or wold just like to cry, honestly darling, I couldn't care less.



Now, all I have to do is say all these to your face. Hmm, maybe when you're less fragile and less pathetic.



---



Thank you, fellow bashers and all those others who have motivated me and made me realize how stupid I can be. I need a good slap of harsh reality every once in a while. Keep on slapping me if I don't keep up with the improvement. You have my consent, really... I'd rather be an ice queen than a pool of tears.

reminiscent, highly defined and utterly confused

Ooh I love Cherry Lips. Don't you? It reminds me of Belinda by Anne Rice. Gaaah! Speaking of this famed vampire chronicles author, I so want to have a copy of the Beauty Trilogy. Only read a few chaps of the first installment, The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty and I was like, I need to have thiiiis! So there.



Here's Cherry Lips, btw.

Cherry Lips



-Garbage-



She gave you everything she had
But she was young and dumb
She'd just turned twenty-one
She didn't care to hang around
So when the shit came down
Why she was nowhere to be found
This life can turn a good girl bad
She was the sweetest thing
That you had ever seen

You're such a delicate boy
In the hysterical realm
Of an emotional landslide
In physical terms

With your cherry lips and golden curls
You could make grown men gasp
When you'd go walking past them
In your hot pants and high heels
They could not believe
That such a body was for real
It seemed like rainbows would appear
Whenever you came near the clouds would disappear
Because you looked just like a girl
Your baby blues would flash
And suddenly a spell was cast

You hold a candle in your heart
You shine the light on hidden parts
You make the whole world wanna dance
You bought yourself a second chance

Go Baby Go Go
We're right behind you
Go baby Go Go
Yeah we're looking at you
Go baby Go Go
Aw we're right behind you
Go Baby
Go Baby
Yeah we're looking at you
Go

oh please, please, please be my saving grace

Shared habits indeed are funny.

Oh please, please, please be my saving grace. I need you now more than ever.

Gah it's so hard to blog when I have to filter things.

*sighs*

Sunsets, phantom thieves, red roses, strings and breaks in between... All ephemeral and deliberately clandestine.

reviews, pun intended

Been living off movies and libre to death for the past week or so.



Windstruck, the prequel of My Sassy Girl, almost made me cry. Dammit! *sings* So won't you staaay just a little bit looongeeeeer! Gusto ko rin ng katampisawan sa ulan!



Watched 1408. Read reviews of it and said it was good and i thought it would be scary but it wasn't. Kudos to the special effects and cinematography, though.



Also watched Daywatch. Just a BIG reminder: DON'T and I mean DON'T watch this if you're not aware of Nightwatch and you walk into the movie house in the middle of the film. If ever you do arrive in the middle, I suggest you sleep until the end and wait for the next screening so you could hear the narration and explanation at the beggining. It's the effing missing piece of the puzzle that would tie up everything. Trust me. This is based on experience.



Movies on our list: Get Smart, Stardust, Korean Film Festival at UPFI... er and what are the others?



Now, for the batian portion! Thanks to my blockmates for the Friuli panlilibre! Also to my fellow bashers, who makes libre whenever opportunities present themselves. I love them to death. Oooh and of course to my lovable little brother, who gave me transpo, my tita Lucy, who "donated" 50 bucks, Tito Ramil, Tita Caye, Tita Rona, Juami and Lila, who accompanied me to SM Manila and made commuting so much more bearable, Dadi, Tito Dennis and Mami, who are responsible for my spend-less trip to and fro Rotonda... and of course, to my other brother (the non-filial one at that) who have been spending for me since our reunion. Really. Thank you guys for putting up with me even if I'm this horrible, horrible biatch. *hugs and kisses everyone* I love you all!  :D

like the first time

There's something v sweet about Lifehouse's new music video. There were lovers here, lovers there, lovers fooling around and such. *sighs*



Was swooning the whole time while watching the new music vid but when the song finally came to a halt and the last scene faded out, I blurted, "Aaaaw... Magbrebreak din kayo lahat! Bwahahaha!"



>;p



---



I like this song better, though. It's bittersweet - just the way I like it.



Bittersweet - in Filipino, pait at tamis, pinagsamang lungkot at ligaya.



Okay, tama na ang drama at heto na ang kanta. Enjoy!

Hey Jealousy



-Gin Blossoms-



Tell me do you think it'd be all right
If I could just crash here tonight
As you see I'm in no shape for drivin'
And any way I 've got no place to go

And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best I ever had
I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might no be alone

Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found to take its place

Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy

You can trust me not to drink
And not to sleep around
And if you don't expect too much from me
You might not be let down

'Cause all I really want's to be with you
And feel like I matter too
If I didn't blow the whole thing years ago
I might be here with you

Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found to take its place

Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy

Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found to take its place

Hey Jealousy
Hey Jealousy...

Listen to my heart
There's only one thing I can start

aksidente

Di ito inaasahan at di ito ginugusto.



Sabi ng iba, tulak din daw ng tadhana. Sabi ng iba, may dahilan, may sanhi at bunga.



Pero parang ang gulo di ba? Pano mo malalaman kung aksidente o tinadhana ang isang pangyayari?





Tsaka lahat ba ng aksidente ay di maganda? Pano kung sa huli'y ginusto mo na ito at inisip na maaaring gawa na ito ng tadhana?





Pero paano rin kung ayawan mo na ito? Paano kung napagisip-isip mo na di talaga nabibilang sa buhay mo ang aksidente at hanggang aksidente na lang ito?





Paano kung naulit ang aksidente? Aksidente pa rin ba ang tawag dun o katangahan na?

mahal ko na ang aircon buses

Mas mahal ko na ngayon ang aircon buses kumpara sa fx.



Mas maluwag at garantisadong gumagana ang aircon. Minsan kasi, ang fx ay parang oven... Siksikan pa...Kadalasan, sa ibabaw pa dumadaan kaya natatrapik.



Ergo, lagi na akong magbubus.

Ang kantang ito ay tumutugtog sa aircon bus na sinakyan ko nung pauwi na ako. Share ko lang haha. Nakaka-lss eh...

Careless Whisper



-George Michaels-





Time can never mend the careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind
there's no comfort in the truth
pain is all you'll find

Should've known better

I feel so unsure
as I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
as the music dies, something in your eyes
calls to mind the silver screen
and all its sad good-byes

I'm never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm
though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
and waste the chance that I've been given
so I'm never gonna dance again
the way I danced with you

Time can never mend
the careless whispers of a good friend
to the heart and mind
ignorance is kind
there's no comfort in the truth
pain is all you'll find

I'm never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm
though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
and waste this chance that I've been given
so I'm never gonna dance again
the way I danced with you

Never without your love

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say

We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But noone's gonna dance with me
Please stay

And I'm never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm
though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
and waste the chance that I've been given
so I'm never gonna dance again
the way I danced with you

(Now that you're gone) Now that you're gone
(Now that you're gone) What I did's so wrong
that you had to leave me alone
