so many things. (posted: Saturday, November 29th, 2008)

i write in online blogs for therapeutic reasons, really. and i’m writing here because it’s more discreet. i know very few people, if any, read this blog. then why post it online, you ask? well, because i think that deep inside i still want to be heard, but only to those who want to know what’s going on. if you want to read what i write, it’s right here. but it’s not too in-your-face, like in multiply or facebook.
anyway, things bothering me:

1. vica’s departure. i think i might have wrote this in the barkada card thing tiny made for her — vics, if someone told me 10 years ago that we’d be this close, i wouldn’t have believed them, but here we are. no goodbyes because i know i’ll see you again. so till next time. i will miss you, my dear friend.
of all the people to leave first, did it have to be someone who i constantly hung out with??? and it’s just starting to sink in, you know? not even last night. i mean, i remember that when we said goodbye last night, vica had to be the one to ask for a hug. i’d forgotten it would be the last time i’d see her for an indefinite period of time. i’d forgotten it wasn’t just one of those friday nights.

2. my parents are suffocating me.
sam, katz and i were talking last night about how even if we’re out of college we’re not exactly free yet. and i remember saying, i can’t believe i gave up my freedom. i was free — no curfew, no nagging text messages or phone calls. and i gave that up. of course there were more important considerations. but i am still not used to living like this. i need to adjust, i know. but i wish that they’d just let me grow up and give me some space.
and i find it so sad that my relationship with my parents has deteriorated to a point that they seem to have given up on me. and i know that i’m to blame (although i think that they might also have their part), but it’s so hard to fit back into the mold that i left behind.

3. my so-called lovelife. this has taken a backseat to everything that’s been going on lately. well you see, there’s this guy that i like. and i really really really like him. and i’ve liked him for a while. but i was in denial for almost a year, and then i finally admitted it to myself and to several friends. but i can’t admit it to him yet because circumstances aren’t right now. i want to gauge what he wants from me. i think i might have become a habit, and i’ve been pushed back to the friend zone.

4. everything else in my life.
i feel like i’m just floating through life, you know? and i feel like every minute that’s passed is another minute that’s wasted. i need to find that passion, that fire that will fuel my drive to make something of myself. or else, i’m just this empty shell that’s just waiting for the end.

i am thankful for the one who picks me up when i’m down. the one who always says the right things. but i hate myself for wishing he was someone else, because the one i want only likes the bubbly happy me.

sometimes i think that maybe you’re just being cautious like i am. tonight i will take a little step towards bravery (counting on the fact that you don’t read this). one green light that i would want to have is to be able to tell you how i feel, and know that you more or less feel the same way. cause all i see right now are blinking yellow lights. caution. caution. possible heartbreak ahead.

paranoid-ish. haha. (posted: Sunday, November 23rd, 2008)

i am SLIGHTLY paranoid that a certain someone unexpectedly read my previous post. that would be embarrassing. *blush* :P

as long as you want it. (insert last line here.) (posted: Friday, November 21st, 2008)

darn it. this blog is turning into a compilation of some of my most pathetic thoughts. but what the heck. it is what it is.

backgrounder: i went on a blogging frenzy more than a year ago when i FINALLY got over someone. and then, i liked someone else, and so probably the object of the many ‘things i could not say to you, but i’d rather announce to the world’ posts here is probably you. you, who will probably not read this, that is why i’m so confident at posting these things. (:P) i’m chicken, dba?

the way i see it there are two things that can be done:
1. kill all hope in me for you. - giving up
2. fighting for you.

you know, curiousity got the better of me tonight. and i followed on a previous hunch. and i found her. and really there’s nothing wrong with you liking her, because i did push you away so many times, and i did realize LATE that you were the reason why i was smiling all those times.

i’ve always gone after the things i wanted. i want to fight. you’ve got to gamble to win something right?

but my brain is telling me to give up. what’s the point, when in the end, you’re going in different directions anyway? sabi nga ni bob ong, wag mong hawakan ang alam mong bibitawan mo lang.

(please, please give me a reason to fight.)

papakawalan na nga…one day. (posted: Monday, November 10th, 2008)

i used to say, “he’ll have to be the one to let go.” i figured that it will never be over until he says it’s over, because i’m stupid enough to go back and back and back. in hindsight though, i think that the final say in has always been mine. and i as i was driving home today i wondered, when would the last “i think it’s over” and “ayoko na” be?

it would be so much easier if i couldn’t see through your lies.

I saw us dancing through sunshine and rain. (posted: Saturday, October 18th, 2008)

wow, it’s been so long since i wrote here.

Heh, you know
Someone loses someone they love everyday
And I’m fortunate to still have you in my life
‘Cause I know I made some mistakes in the past but
I’m tired of making excuses
Listen
For whatever might have been
And all that it never was
Whatever I couldn’t see
And all that I didn’t want
There was a method to my madness girl
That wasn’t clear to me
Until the day I saw your face
When I saw everything
For I saw us dancing through sunshine and rain
And I saw us laughing through joy and through pain
And I saw time passing but we did not change
And I still saw us together at the end of every day

Whenever you want it
Whenever you need it
Whatever you feel like, it’s gon’ be like
You better believe it
Whenever you feel like dancing
You don’t have to dance alone, no
You know, you know, you know
You should already know
I choose you
I choose you
I choose you
I choose you
I choose you
I choose you
I choose you
I choose you
I felt you inside myself
Before I could even feel
I knew you like no one else
But still I couldn’t tell, Oh
Girl, none of it made sense to me
Girl, none of it was real
Until the day I saw your face
And it was clear to see
Whenever you want it (Whenever you want it)
Whenever you need it (Whenever you need it, baby)
Whatever you feel like, it’s gon’ be like
You better believe it (You better believe it)
Whenever you feel like dancing
You don’t have to dance alone, no (Oh, no)
You know, you know, you know
You should already know
I choose you (I choose you, baby)
I choose you (I choose you, girl)
I choose you
I choose you (You know that I choose you)
I choose you
I choose you
I choose you
I choose you
Throughout our times, people have searched their lives
Hoping that they might find the chance where they can make things right
Through my desire, thank God I found the fire
Oh, for everything has led me straight to you (Youuuu….)
Whenever you want it
Whenever you need it (Baby)
Whatever you feel like, it’s gon’ be like
You better believe it (Oh, you better believe it)
Whenever you feel like dancing
You don’t have to dance alone, no
You know, you know, you know
You should already know
I choose you

Don’t know where to put you anymore
You can’t be kept inside my dresser drawer
I find the pieces of you in my dreams
And in the evenings
Spill out the edge of my mind.
Memories of you feel like they’re miles wide
It’s all I can do to get to the other side
Of these evenings
I’ll see you tonight in the back of my mind
When I remember your skin like I remembered it then
When you would dress me in white with the look in your eyes
Knew you’d love me forever
Before I ever knew better
Can’t see myself back beside you
But I see nobody else
Nobody’s perfect but I’m perfectly happy to keep on
Bringing this love down off the shelf.
I’ll see you tonight in the back of my mind
When I remember your skin like I remembered it then
When you would dress me in white with the look in your eyes
Knew you’d love me forever
Before I ever knew..
Better off, I couldn’t say if I’d be better off without a love I live without anyway
Better off, oooh. Who knows? See you tonight.
Before I ever knew better

25.07.2008. =) (posted: Sunday, July 27th, 2008)

25.07.2008. friday.

Notice me
Take my hand
Why are we
Strangers when
Our love is strong
Why carry on without me?

Everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, it’s haunting me
I guess I need you baby
I make believe
That you are here
It’s the only way
I see clear
What have I done
You seem to move on easy
And everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you’re haunting me
I guess I need you baby
I may have made it rain
Please forgive me
My weakness caused you pain
And this song is my sorry
Ohhhh
At night I pray
That soon your face
Will fade away
And everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you’re haunting me
I guess I need you baby

song of the night: britney spears’ everytime. haha.

we pulled another all nighter last friday night. left the office around 7:30 and drove to the afp camp to box. i fell asleep for a few minutes in the car. when i woke up britney spears’ everytime was playing. so i sang along and the song got stuck in my head. sang it while we were gearing up, and eventually pet and ono were singing along. hihi. i haven’t boxed / exercised in about 2 weeks and my muscles hurt the day after. we were supposed to meet ninja (lolo) later in the night, but it was still early so we decided to grab some dinner at mcdo in fort bonifacio. the one near crepes & cream as mich was bugging us to try it. i ordered the value meal with chicken and spaghetti, ono ordered something i can’t remember and mich just ate cereal and milk and her fruits. pet on a diet. tsss. after dinner we went to crepes and cream where i tried the mango mania (huge crepe with ice cream and mango bits and cream and nuts (pecans i think). yum yum), ono got a pork floss cheesy omellet, and pet couldn’t decide what to get. we got one of those vip card things that give you a free crepe after you buy 6. we have 2 stamps now. yay. i was the last to finish eating. i was still full from dinner and i had to force eat the rest of the crepe. sayang eh. hehe. drove to select to hangout while waiting for lolo’s text. talked, sang to old songs. sang to everytime again. talked about deacon frost. hihi.

we met lolo in bonifacio high street, near krispy kreme. pet kept on saying she wanted a donut. we told her to go buy herself one. but she wanted someone to eat with her. ono was willing if pet paid, but pet wasn’t willing to pay for him. haha.
kwento with lolo about the ‘traumatizing experience’ earlier in the night involving bump and grind dancing. kwento about random stuff. kwento about plans. 



then we decided to hang out at ono’s condo for the rest of the night and watch dvds. i rode with lolo and we talked about ‘family’ stuff. we watched stardust first. lolo already saw it and fell asleep. it wasn’t ono’s first time either. he said the movie inspired him to write when he first saw it. pet and i got kilig, or maybe we were just too bangag. hihi. but it was good. pet thought tristan was hot. i was bangag from lack of sleep. 


the sky was already beginning to light up. we opted for a second movie: juno. it was niiiice. :) we loved the sarcasm and the wit. there was a part where the dvd sort of malfunctioned and skipped the part where juno’s dad was giving her advice on love. luckily, i kept shari’s text message quote of the line and we just passed the cellphone around and proceeded with the next scene. there was a part that i really liked towards the end. after juno gave birth and bleeker went to her and they just lied down together. it was niiiice. :) *kilig* haha. again, i was bangag from lack of sleep. mich and ono had ambushed me at the condo the night before and i slept around 2:30am. =/

it was sunrise when juno finished. we just kinda fell asleep on the sofa while ono was getting ready to go to tanay. waking up lolo was not easy. big surprise. ono gave her 3-in-1 barako coffee to shake off the sleep. lolo brought me home around 8am. I slept around 9am. =)

narration again. i just wanted to write things down so it’ll be easier to remember. :)

one sweet love. bottle it up. =) (posted: Saturday, April 26th, 2008)

i heart sara bareilles’ music. :)

one sweet love.
just about the time the shadows call
I undress my mind and dare you to follow
Paint a portrait of my mystery
Only close my eyes and you are here with me
A nameless face to think I see
To sit and watch the waves with me till they’re gone
A heart I’d swear I’d recognize is made out of
My own devices….
Could I be wrong?
[CHORUS]
The time that I’ve taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?
Sleepless nights you creep inside of me
Paint your shadows on the breath that we share
You take more than just my sanity
You take my reason not to care.
No ordinary wings I’ll need
The sky itself will carry me back to you
The things I dream that I can do I’ll open up
The moon for you
Just come down soon
[CHORUS]
The time that I’ve taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?
Ready and waiting for a heart worth the breaking
But I’d settle for an honest mistake in the name of
One sweet love.
Savor the sorrow to soften the pain sip on
The southern rain
As I do, I don’t look don’t touch don’t do anything
But hope that there is a you.
The earth that is the space between,
I’d banish it from under me…to get to you.
Your unexpected love provides my solitary’s
Suicide…oh I wish I knew
[CHORUS]
The time that I’ve taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?
Ready and waiting for a heart worth the breaking
But I’d settle for an honest mistake in the name of
One sweet love.

bottle it up.
There’ll be girls across the nation that will eat this up.
Babe I know that it’s your soul but could you bottle it up.
Get down to the heart of it.
No, it’s my heart.
You’re shit out of your luck.
Don’t make me tell you again my love, love, love, love.
Love, love, love, love.
I am aiming to be somebody this somebody trusts with her delicate soul.
I don’t claim to know much,
Except soon as you start to make room for the parts that aren’t you,
It gets harder to bloom in a garden of love, love, love, love.
Love, love, love, love.
Only thing I ever could need,
Only one good thing worth trying to be and it’s love, love, love, love.
I do it for love, love, love, love.
We can understand the sentiment you’re saying to us.
Oh, but sensible sells so could you kindly shut up,
And get started at keeping your part of the bargain.
Aw please little darlin’,
You’re killing me sweetly with love, love, love, love.
Love, love, love, love.
Only thing I ever could need.
Only one good thing worth trying to be and it’s love, love, love, love.
I do it for love, love, love, love.
Started as a flicker meant to be a flame.
Skin has gotten thicker but it burns the same.
Still a baby in a cradle got to take my first fall.
Baby’s getting next to nowhere with a back against the wall.
You meant to make me happy, make me sad.
Want to make it better better so bad.
But save your resolutions for your never new year.
There is only one solution I can see here.
Love you’re all I ever could need.
Only one good thing worth trying to be and it’s love, love, love, love.
I do it for love, love, love, love.
(Oh, only gonna get get what you give away, so give love, love.
Only gonna get get what you give away.
Love.)

and some john mayer…:)
When sky blue gets dark enough
To see the colors of the city lights
A trail of ruby red and diamond white
Hits her like a sunrise

our escape to batangas. (posted: Thursday, April 24th, 2008)

Escapism is a beautiful thing. More than a year ago, I went
on a 3-day silent retreat (no talking /
cellphone for 3 days) to Tagaytay. It was a peaceful experience, and I terribly
miss it. Last weekend, we went on an intro-dive-day-trip turned intro-dive-full-dive-with-fish-feeding-overnight-trip.
And I swear, it was one of the most relaxing, exciting and fun weekends I’ve
had in a while. =) And just like how I felt after my Tagaytay retreat, I wish I could go back there. 

Saturday, April 19. I woke up at 4am, since Kri told me we’d
be meeting her officemate Jun2x at SLEX at 530.
5:10am. After 30+ missed calls, I finally managed to wake
Kri2x up when I called her landline.
6am. Left Makati for SLEX.
Bought breakfast.
Left for Batangas, with Jun2x driving. 

We arrived at the parking area before lunch time, and had to
take a boat to Dive and Trek, the resort. When we arrived at the resort, Alex,
the resort manager, ‘lent’ us a room where we can store our things, since we
were planning to just go on a day trip. After the briefing, we had lunch. Myo’s
friend Eric joined us at our table. When lunch was done, it was time to get
ready and head for the pool!

We were the last batch to have pool training, so we decided
to go for a short swim at the beach. I scraped my foot on one of the submerged
rocks and it bled a little. But it was no biggie.

Myo did her pool training first, then Kri, me and lastly,
Eric. When we were ready, we were given the go ahead to go on the 15-minute
dive. Since we had no professional certification, our dive master/instructor
has to hold our tanks at all times under the water.

My dive master was Rusley, and we had slow start because I
was still learning to equalize the pressure on my ears. But eventually I got
the hang of it. =) The other instructors later commented that hinihila ko daw si Rusley towards the corals. He said I kept on touching
everything. Haha. I didn’t see the turtle that the others saw though. =( booo.
But we were able to go around 29ft below the surface. We surfaced at the other
side of the resort and walked back to where we started, which was where the
others surfaced.

After our first dive, Myo, Kri and I just sort of walked
around and watched the sunset and had merienda
and thought about whether to stay for the night or not. Anyway, we finally
decided to stay and got really good discounts, plus they were gonna take us on
a full dive and fish feeding the next day. =)

After showering, we had dinner and inuman with our
instructors and their group. It was really fun. Dong quizzing us on Mr. X and
locker room mischiefs, and then debriefed us. Rommel and Bel throwing jokes at
each other’s expense. Rommel’s very-gentleman move. Bel’s girl-magnet powers.
The humihiling (did I get that
right?) Japanese girl. Jun-jun never growing up. Sharon’s hair. Kri’s alleged
bisexuality. Myo and I’s NBSB status. Never say never. I had a pyro moment. Haha. And when I
finally decided to blow out my candle, Rusley replaced it. Weird. But anyway.
Mr. X was memorable and I saw 2 shooting stars, but didn’t make a wish until
the next day. I had one San Mig Light, and Bogart the really cute and adorable,
but a-bit-smelly-coz-of-swimming-in-sea-water, Labrador followed us to our
rooms when we decided to call it a night before midnight. We had to get up
early tomorrow!

The next day, Junjun woke us up before 7am. Then, we had
breakfast and got ready for our dive. We got bread (pagkain ni nemo) from Alex for our fish feeding. We had the same
dive master/instructor partners that we had the day before, and Junjun joined
us for our dive. I really had a hard time with my balance, especially when we
had to kneel down on the sea floor to feed the fish. Colorful fishees. =)

After feeding the fish, we toured the reef in front of the
resort. A sort of take 2 of Saturday’s dive. It was fun fun fun. I teased the
clams and the anemones and watched the fishes (Finding Nemo is accurate, dude.
Haha) and watched a sea slug crawl on Bel and Myo’s hand (it wouldn’t go on
mine. Booo). I got a few scrapes from going too near the corals and the rocks,
but it was worth it damnit! Haha. We went as deep as 40ft below the surface.

After our dive, the certified divers went on another dive. 2
dive sites, one dive. We snorkelled near Sombrero
Island
because we didn’t have the skills to master the current. And it was
too deep for us, anyway. While snorkelling, we watched not only fishes, but a
group of divers (party of four) as well. We waved to them, and Myo made a bit
of chit-chat with some of them when they surfaced. We also got stung by
jellyfish, bummer.

On the way back to the resort, they saw dolphins, but I
didn’t. booo again. Damnit.
We had lunch and left around 430pm. Traffic was bad at
first, but it got better as we got nearer the city. Arrived at my building
around 8pm. =)

*phew narration. Hehe.
It felt so good to get away and try something new. =)

torment Monday, (posted: March 31st, 2008)

i feel tormented. i am stubborn. pathetically stubborn. this is stupid karma.

one saturday. (posted: Saturday, March 29th, 2008)

my day started early, earlier than my usual saturdays. i woke up at 7:45 am and then checked my phone for messages from mami, ninja and michee. we were supposed to meet up at 8am to check out the famous salcedo market at salcedo park. ooops. luckily, mami, being a good friend who knows me well enough (i am not a morning person.), left her house late. (hihi.). at 930am, i finally caught up with mami and michee at the market, and we spent a few minutes looking around.

our purchases:
- a ham, cheese and egg crepe and a chocolate and banana crepe cooked by a french man (…’chocolate’???)
- a what’s-it’s-name french lasagna (mushrooms, anchovies, cheese, tomatoes, eggplant) that cost frickin 300 pesos a piece (around 2×3x4 inches). but it was good good good. =)
- buko juice

michee also bought oranges and star apples.

we ate our french breakfast foodstuff at the share-a-tables while we waited for ninja. she got stuck in stupid saturday traffic and won’t be able to join us (=().
we left makati around 11am (i think) and went on a mini-road trip to look for the headquarters of the philippine national red cross along bonifacio drive in manila.
three of us went to donate blood, and only one was allowed. which frustrated mami and i a lot. i was underweight (you need to be at least 110 lbs to donate. and they’re frickin strict about it. although, i think if i wore some weights, they wouldn’t notice.). mami had a little bit of colds (though it wasn’t obvious.).

next stop, mica’s house to get fed. so we drove from bonifacio drive to san juan, stopping over at mich’s so she can grab some dvds while mami and i bought bread and street food.

we finally arrived at mica’s around 330 pm so she can feed us spaghetti and watched dvds and talked the rest of the day. =)

i know this is a poorly written entry, but i just had to write it down so it’ll be easier to remember. =)

one more reason i love john mayer. (posted: Monday, March 17th, 2008)

"Dear Ex Lover,
Perhaps you didn’t understand the last time I told you to stop
contacting me, so I’ll do my best to spell it out for you. I do not
wish to have you in my life anymore. I don’t know how much more clear I
can be about it. It would serve you best to move on with your life and
find someone who can put up with you, because I’m done trying.
I hope this is enough closure for you.
Goodbye.
P.S. If you need me, you know how to find me."

quick and random thoughts. (posted: Wednesday, March 12th, 2008)

boxing and late nights with my fellow turtles have been taking up a lot of my time and energy lately. but it’s all fun fun fun. i do, however, need to get back on track…and i’m starting today. =) that means, only one ‘puyat’ night with the turtles during the weekdays and laps. lots and lots of laps. sleeping early. and hip hop abs. (=P).

yesterday, my mom made me an offer about a certain thing that i’ve wanted for so long. very tempting. very very tempting. but also very impractical. and though it breaks my heart, i think that i will have to turn it down. there’s still so much that i want to do, so many better things that i could spend money on.

watching brandon boyd gradually strip is delightful. haha. i watched the incubus concert with kri, and i had so much fun. =D brandon boyd’s hotness was the icing on the already fabulous cake that was the concert. i heart incubus. =)

march 12, 2008.
i went to the ‘an hour with the lord’ thing during lunch break at work today. the hour-long talk was by Bo Sanchez, and it was about how to be happy. simple, but not exactly that easy. and i’m actually really glad i went…i think that at that moment, i was where i was supposed to be. =)

emo corner: sometimes i wish you would stop being nice to me so i wouldn’t feel so guilty for the way i treat you.

before i go to bed and try to recuperate from too much lack of sleep, i just want to say that hands down, this is one of the best days i’ve had in some time.
darling, iloy, mica, michel, ninja, ono, tiong, vaneng, i love you all. =)

i thought i’d share this quote. (posted: Sunday, March 2nd, 2008)

if i fell in love with you. =) (posted: Wednesday, February 27th, 2008)

have you noticed? i don’t want to be without you yet. stick around, keep me company. =)


“Why?”

“I fell in love with him.”

“I can see that, but why? What does he have that I don’t?”

“He’s there for me. He promised to be there for me. He’s
committed to me, something you refused to do.”

“I was there for you. I never made any promises, but I was
still there.”

“Yes you were.”

He looked thoughtful, a small crease on his forehead.

“What if I commit to you? Would you leave him and come back
to me? I gave you everything you wanted, didn’t I? You were happy with me, you
told me. I’ll commit to you, make it official like you always wanted….please…”

“It’s not that simple…and that’s not what I want anymore…you’re
not who I want anymore…I loved you. I loved you for so long…but then I realized
that I can’t keep on waiting for you to come around. I can’t keep on holding on
to an uncertainty. And here comes someone who’s wonderful and who wants to be
with me, and who I also want to be with. He makes me feel secure and I’m in
love with him.”

“You were my only one, you know.”

“I know.”

If I fell in love with you
Would you promise to be true
And help me understand
’cause I’ve been in love before
And I found that love was more
Than just holding hands
If I give my heart to you
I must be sure
From the very start
That you would love me more than (him)
If I trust in you, oh please
Don’t run and hide
If I love you too, oh please
Don’t hurt my pride like (him)
’cause I couldn’t stand the pain
And I would be sad if our new love was in vain
So I hope you see that I
Would love to love you
And that (he) will cry
When (he) learns we are two
cause I couldn’t stand the pain
and I would be sad if our new love was in vain
so I hope you see that I
would love to love you
and that (he) will cry when (he) learns we are two.
If I fell in love with you

no offense. (posted: Monday, February 4th, 2008)

No offense, but…

I am sick and tired of people telling me who and who not to be friends with. You hear that? I’m fucking tired of it. Shut up, and don’t give me that fucking look. Don’t look at me like you know better. You have no fucking right, because if you did, then you’d be way better off than me, but we’re no different are we? Are we? Yes I’m being a bitch, yes I’ve made a lot of mistakes, yes I can be too naive…but let me make my own decisions and my own mistakes. Don’t poison my mind with your baseless and illogical opinions.

Gaaah. I got a little bitchy today, a little pikon…and the above basically sums up what I’m feeling. I think I might have overreacted a bit, but it does not exactly delight me when my friends or friendships are being trashed…especially when it is done by a friend/s who know shit about the other party. So give me a break…give us a break. Don’t jump into stupid conclusions because I know you’re better than that. Don’t tell me that you have the right to think whatever it is that you want to think, because it would hurt me if you’re opinion is far from what is actually happening, because you are a confidant. You’re opinion matters to me, and I would hate that our friendship would fall apart because you refuse to try and understand where I’m coming from. I’ve always tried to be understanding, even when it gets to my nerves. All I ask is for you to be the same to me and to the people around me.

less and less (posted: Friday, January 25th, 2008)

i love this part where i can care less and less about what you think and what you feel about me. and though a part of me is reluctant to let you go, i’m starting to come to my senses…that you were no better than he was. and i am so tired of being in a limbo when it comes to you because i have only the slightest idea of where i stand in your life.

thank you. (posted: Tuesday, January 8th, 2008)

hey thank you for making me feel again…and though it hurts, it’s better than being numb.

it’s my last day in eBBS. =( (posted: Friday, December 21st, 2007)

i’ve surrendered my id to yahoo. they’ll be giving me another one next year, but it won’t be for eBBS anymore. i can’t believe that 6 months have passed by so quickly…time does fly when you’re chasing deadlines and having fun. =). i could not have asked for a better first job. not only did i learn a lot, but i met so many interesting people and i made really good friends…and i know that as we go our separate ways (lunch buddies pa rin tayo shiela!!!!), things will change. i’m really really really going to miss the 10th floor training room and all the people that have ‘inhabited’ it in the past 6 months.

i feel happy today, for some reason. i’m on a high (could it be the asti martini???? haha. note: mini-inuman with Sir Pinoy and Bitoy and Yahoo and Shiela and Carmina. Hotshots and Funshots and Asti Martini. buzz buzz.).

Highlights of the day so far:
* breakfast at the 10th floor - i still owe someone. Bitoy or Sir Pinoy???
* we finally got our storage boxes and we started fixing up the documents for archiving. (yay we did something work-related! haha)
* got introduced to my crush twice (!!!)…c/o Benny and Ms Jo. haha.
* got my med results and i’m healthy (says the nurse. =))
* reached level 46 at Diner Dash 2! =)
* made Shiela hoard rubber bands for our docs. haha
* bonding with Sir Pinoy and Bitoy and Yahoo and Shiela and Carmina over Asti Martini and Hotshots and Funshots. =) –> complete with picture taking, of course! ;P
* said goodbye to Tanya (she’s retiring…which surprised us because we didn’t know)
* Starbucks with Yahoo, Shiela and Ian.
* Joke time and fooling around and picture taking and Merry Christmas, etc etc. at the Makati Branch with Ms Mady, Roy and Rawin.

at the same time, i feel sad…i still can’t believe it’s my last day. i’m really really really really really really really going to miss the ‘eBBS experience’ and everyone that has been part of it. and i’m never ever ever ever going to forget it. =)

    Hi Batz,
    You forget to mention about me!!
    I miss you all too. I had fun during my whole duration in Manila. You and the rest have made my short stay in Manila a happy and unforgetable one. Especially the nite at Price of Jaipur!! Remember that??

If You Forget Me (posted: Sunday, December 16th, 2007)

I want you to know
one thing.

You know how this is:
if I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats
that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.

Well, now,
if little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you little by little.

If suddenly
you forget me
do not look for me,
for I shall already have forgotten you.

If you think it long and mad,
the wind of banners
that passes through my life,
and you decide
to leave me at the shore
of the heart where I have roots,
remember
that on that day,
at that hour,
I shall lift my arms
and my roots will set off
to seek another land.

But
if each day,
each hour,
you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
if each day a flower
climbs up to your lips to seek me,
ah my love, ah my own,
in me all that fire is repeated,
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will be in your arms
without leaving mine.

– Pablo Neruda; recommended by Kri2x

If you forget me, I’ll forget you. We move along, move along like we always do. No hang ups that last for months and months…forgetting is easier than it sounds…. –> a practical philosophy.

12.07.07 was a day full of surprises. =)

melt. (posted: Wednesday, November 14th, 2007)

i must say, last night was a blast. there’s nothing like a night out with old friends: eating burgers and fries, talking about nothing in particular until the store closed, catching a good movie, and driving around town while singing along to old songs. =)

we watched the john lloyd film last night. and it wasn’t bad, actually. we had a great time and lots of laughs. it was actually surprising how many people showed up to watch the movie on the last full show of opening night in glorietta 4. mabenta pala talaga sila. we didn’t expect it all! we went back to the theater (from dinner) 30 minutes before the movie was supposed to start, planning to just hangout at dairy queen while waiting. we thought we were early, but no. there was a long line from the entrance of cinema 6 that, by the time we got there, extended up to  dairy queen. in my standards, that’s pretty long already. but the movie was worth it, anyway. =) kinda dragging at first and a lot of crying, but i had fun. there were a lot of funny scenes (intentional and not). hihi.

in our post-movie chatter, my friends pointed out a particular scene na nakakaiyak. and i’m not surprised that i did not really share their sentiment. it worries me that i’m not as emotional as i should be. =/

melt my cold cold heart, won’t you?

sweetie, you had me. (posted: Sunday, November 11th, 2007)

how do you know when to give up when you’re wooing someone back? when he stops returning your messages? when his replies seem cold and distant? when he doesn’t make the effort of making conversation like he used to? a friend of mine read somewhere that people can usually feel if the attention previously given to them by another person has been diverted to another, i.e., you can usually tell via ‘gut feeling’ if the other person is not as interested in you anymore.tangina. yeah, i’m fucking feeling it.

i’m afraid i’ve lost him. and i’m not sure if my pride will permit me to go to ‘great lengths’ to win him back. ‘damn pride,’ that’s what others would say. but it’s not that easy to take the ‘great leap’ when you’re not even so sure about what you’re hoping for. to be honest, i’m still unsure about his intentions. and my devil’s advocate friends don’t exactly give me a good picture. but at some point…i think i saw something there…i thought i saw a putty tat, i did! i did saw a putty tat! (=P) haha. but seriously, i think i did see sincerity….on the other hand, maybe it was just an illusion. people do tend to see only what they want to see when they want something.

damnit. this entry sucks. what i really wanted to say was: i don’t know where i really stand when it comes to you. i don’t know if you’re just playing. i don’t know if you’re sincere enough.

you know what, i’ve reconsidered what i want to say. i’m NOT going to go around chasing you simply because i know i deserve better than this.

there’s a fine fine line between love and a waste of time (posted: Wednesday, November 7th, 2007)

There’s a fine, fine line between a lover and a friend;
There’s a fine, fine line between reality and pretend;
And you never know ’til you reach the top if it was worth the uphill climb.

There’s a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of time.

There’s a fine, fine line between a fairy tale and a lie;
And there’s a fine, fine line between "You’re wonderful" and "Goodbye."
I guess if someone doesn’t love you back it isn’t such a crime,
But there’s a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of your time.

And I don’t have the time to waste on you anymore.
I don’t think that you even know what you’re looking for.
For my own sanity, I’ve got to close the door
And walk away…
Oh…

There’s a fine, fine line between together and not
And there’s a fine, fine line between what you wanted and what you got.
You gotta go after the things you want while you’re still in your prime…

There’s a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of time.

i’m afraid i’ve lost you. :(

i was up all night last night reading my old blog posts, and i realized how, in the entries where i really wrote something from ‘my heart,’ it was during those times when i was engulfed with negative emotions, whether it’s sadness, loss, loneliness or whatever. i think i’m having one of those moments now. so if you don’t want to read pathetic rantings, you can skip the rest of this entry. =P

it’s funny…i remember a note one of my best friends in high school gave me for my birthday just a few months ago. about how she thought going away for college would change me, and i would be a completely different person and we’d fall apart…and how she’s glad it didn’t happen. i guess it was a bit of a jinx because i feel a bit alienated from two of my best-est friends in high school. they were always closer, but they used to let me in on almost everything…now, there seems to be an awkward, unspoken gap between me and the two of them. i hope to God i’m just imagining things…but i doubt it.

i’m afraid i’ve lost you. (yes, i retyped it on purpose. =P)
damnit. i think it was something i said a few nights back. or was it something you saw on my page? i don’t know exactly what it is, but i know something turned you cold. tangina.

i learned something new from the movie ultranova: it’s biologically impossible for cross-eyed people to cry.
