Drops of Jupiter by Train
Now that shes back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey,
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that theres time to change, hey, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like june, hey, hey
Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the milky way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking at yourself out there?
Now that shes back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey
She checks out mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that theres time to grow, hey, hey
Now that shes back in the atmosphere
Im afraid that she might think of me as plain ol jane
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the milky way
And tell me, did venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?
Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know youre wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the milky way
But tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the milky way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated
And tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking at yourself out there?
Na na na na na na
Black Balloon by the Goo Goo Dolls
Baby's black balloon makes her fly
I almost fell into that hole in your life
And you're not thinking about tomorrow
'Cause you were the same as me
But on your knees
A thousand other boys could never reach you
How could I have been the one
I saw the world spin beneath you
And scatter like ice from the spoon
That was your womb
Comin' down the world turned overAnd angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Or are you someone's prayer
You know the lies they always told you
And the love you never knew
What's the things they never showed you
That swallowed the light from the sun
Inside your room
Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I'll go on to bring you home
All because I'm
All because I'm
And I'll become
What you became to me
Sway by Bic Runga
Don't stray
Don't ever go away
I should be much to smart for this
You know it gets the better Of me
sometimes, When you and I collide
I fall into an ocean of you
Pull me out in time
Don't let me drown
Let me down
I say its all because of you
And here I go
Losing my control
I'm practising your name
So I can say it to your face
It doesn't seem right
To look you in the eye
And let all the things you mean to me
Come tumbling out my mouth
Indeed its time
Tell you why
I say its infinately true
Say you'll stay
Don't come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you
And there's no cure
And no way to be sure
Why everythings turned inside out
Instilling so much doubt
It makes me so tired
I feel so uninspired
My head is battling with my heart
My logic has been torn apart
And now it all turns sour
Come sweeten every afternoon
Say you'll stay
Don't come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you
Say you'll stay
Don't come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you
Its all because of you
Its all because of you
Cater 2 U by Destiny's Child
Baby I see you working hard
Wanna let you know i'm proud
Let ya know that I admire what you do
Don't know if I need to reassure you
My life would be purposeless without you
If I want it (got it) when I ask you (you provide it)
You inspire me to be better
You challenge me for the better
Sit back and let me pour out my love letter
Let me help you
Take off your shoes
Untie your shoe strings
Take off your cuff links

Let me feed you
Let me run your bath water
Whatever you desire

Melt with You by Modern English
Moving forward using all my breath
Making love to you was never second best
I saw the world thrashing all around your face
Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace
Ill stop the world and melt with you
Youve seen the difference and its getting better all the time
Theres nothing you and I wont do
Ill stop the world and melt with you
(you should know better)
Dream of better lives the kind which never hate
(you should see why)
Dropped in the state of imaginary grace
(you should know better)
I made a pilgrimage to save this humans race
(you should see why)
What Im comprehending a race that long gone bye
(Ill stop the world) Ill stop the world and melt with you
(Ill stop the world) youve seen the difference and its getting better all the time
(lets stop the world) theres nothing you and I wont do
(lets stop the world) Ill stop the world and melt with you
The futures open wide
(lets stop the world) Ill stop the world and melt with you
(lets stop the world) Ive seen some changes but its getting better all the time
(lets stop the world) theres nothing you and I wont do
(lets stop the world) Ill stop the world and melt with you
Ill stop the world and melt with you (lets stop the world)
Youve seen the difference and its getting better all the time (lets stop the world)
Theres nothing you and I wont do (lets stop the world)
Ill stop the world and melt with you (lets stop the world)
Ill stop the world and melt with you (lets stop the world)
Ill stop the world and melt with you (lets stop the world)
I'm Yours- Jason Mraz
Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
Now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some
I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing
We're just one big family
And It's our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love loved
So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
Scooch on over closer dear
And i will nibble your ear
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I'm be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm yours
Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
Please don't, please don't, please don't
There's no need to complicate
Cause our time is short
This oh this this is out fate, I'm yours.
IT REMINDED ME TWICE THAT I WAS ALIVE.

Some of my favorite Quotations:
"I’m erased. I’m gone. I’m nothing. And then the world is free to flow into me like water into an empty bowl…. And… I see. I hear. But not with eyes and ears. I’m not outside my world anymore, and I’m not really inside it either. The thing is, there’s no difference between me and the universe. The boundary is gone. I am it and it is me. I am a stone, a cactus thorn. I am rain. I like that most of all, being rain.” --Star Girl
"Perhaps we give the best of our hearts uncritically, to those who hardly think of us in return." --Lucas Scott, OTH
and my all time favorite:
"Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain...fairy tales are more than true, not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten. " --G.K. Chesterton

SWAY MY WAY.
Book/s I'm reading right now.
Wicked -Gregory Mguire// Shoeholics Anonymous
Books I love.
1.) The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
We had to read this for our LITERA2 class back when I was a senior in college, and I have to say that this book is unbelievably amazing.
Never in my life have I read a book that had tremendous power to move me to such great depths of my emotions.
I give it a five thumbs up! A real must read.
My favorite line: "For you a thousand times over."
2.) P.S. I love you by Cecila Ahern
A book that was recommended to me by one of my best college friends.
It's somewhat like the movie (which she and I watched together as well), but much better.
To those who are in the process of grieving due to a loss, I strongly suggest that you grab a copy right now.
It's not just a good read, but it'll also help you process your emotions and find happiness in the end.
My favorite line: "...There are worse sins in the world than learning to be happy again."
3.) Star Girl by Jerry Spinelli
A children's book that's made for adults as well. Recommended by my cousin who is an absolute bookworm.
It's about a new student in Meca High named Stargirl.
She's different. Intelligent. Quirky. and very much mysterious.
It's a book on belonging, conformity, falling in-love, and hope.
What's not to love about this book?
Books waiting to be read.
1.) Constant Princess -Philippa Gregory

Masaya ako. Masaya talaga.

All the days songs. Traditional! Palanca!! Lullaby!!!
How thoughts are formulated just be a whiff of a certain scent, or a glimpse of a person who's far across on the other side of the room. How sometimes when you think too much (because I am the queen of attention to detail), you don't get the answer or solution you've been looking for, but in the middle of all the chaos and stupidity of the world, you see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Can we go back to the time I talked about how sadness can be beautiful?
I witnessed it again last Thursday, yesterday, and early this morning...and whenever that happens, I just feel so...awesome! I try to understand why the world can be such a crappy place sometimes, how people can take injustice, and heartbroken-ness, parental frustrations and the evil that just is. At times, I don't get it because the bad that's evident outweighs the good, and at times you can't even grasp for anything to keep your head above the surface.
Here comes the beauty of it all. If you think about it, really think about it...when you chose to, to get angry and then let out that frustration...you allow yourself to fight the pain that's building up around you. Whether you let it out in a hard cry, a frantic scream, or even sometimes...just sometimes you choose to love loud.
I'm speaking this way because I was in a "rutty" situation too just recently and I've been stressed, and frustrated, and feeling unappreciated. But last thursday, while I was hanging out with my friends, in the middle of all the smoke, the fifi shots, and the wonderful music by an amazing band called Overtone, I felt alive. After hearing a certain song which my friends and I started to scream out loud, I felt alive.
I've heard the song for the longest time already, but being the music freak that I am, I get that it affects you at different stages of your life. In this stage in my life, I have found it. I found my "Love song for no one" through the Kings of Leon. Because I really think I could use somebody, who'd want to use somebody like me. Since I got home, I haven't stopped listening to it. It's beautiful.
Two days ago, I watched the season ender of one of my favorite TV shows (Grey's Anatomy). It shocked me to my very core that it actually sent shivers all over my body. It was nicely done, and very unexpected which made it even more deserving of a golden globe.
There's a part in the 23rd episode (if i'm not mistaken) where all the surgeons in trauma were just so damn frustrated. Almost all their patients were killed, the miracle patient of the onchologist was dying on her watch, and izzy still had cancer. They were all so down and depressed, to the point that they questioned why they still do what they do. Bailey, being the strong woman that she is brought them out and showed them one patient. A patient whom all the doctors thought had no chance to fight for life. A child who was sick with something so rare, that there was nothing left to do but die. And he was alive after an operation, and the JOY was eminating from his parents faces, and from his face, because he knew deep down in his heart, that he had something to fight for once again.
That's why they do what they do. Because of the joy.
I know I digress, but my point is, I get that in the midst of drowning out in all the pain and turmoils of the world, one good thing allows you to remember the rest of the good things in life.
I think it's amazing how it takes a looooot of shit for us to be fucking depressed, while it only takes one tiny silver lining to make everything okay. Now I believe that that is the beauty in the sadness.
It's funny how some things come into existence.

I found mine in the midst of smoke, and friends. I found it in the lyrics of a song I've known for quite awhile now. I found it in the middle of sipping my 7th glass of margarita I found it in a conversation between two people.
I found the beauty in the strangest places you can ever imagine. But I found it. And personally that right there, is pretty damn beautiful.
Someone like you and all you know and how you speak. You know that I can use somebody.
Sometimes, I wish that I was the weather You'd bring me up in conversation forever And when it rained, I'd be the talk of the day
Oh, sometimes I wish that I was a cold beer I'd rest assured that you would hold me near I'd be guaranteed to be just what you need
CHORUS
And there could be no other way, 'cause you're so, you're so lame Your tired words are all, they're all the same Yeah I would walk and I'd surely walk away If I wasn't such a sucker for you
Sometimes, I wish that I was a bong hit You'd let me in and you would love every minute And tell the room the things I did to you...
Oh and there could be no other way, 'cause you're so lame Your tired words are all, your tired words are all the same Yeah I would walk you know I'd surely walk away If I wasn't such a sucker for you
I see your world with rosey-colored glasses on Wanna right what I see wrong I could never have that power over you
Someday, I'm gonna pack up and leave this town I'm gonna get my own things goin' on And when I do, I'll forget I'll forget I'll forget about how, how you're so, you're so lame Your tired words are all, your tired words are all the same And I would walk you know I'd, I'd walk away If I wasn't such a sucker for you I wasn't such a sucker for you I wasn't such a sucker for you
six numbers, one more to dial before I'm before you I tried to call been busy all night gave up waiting at daylight

I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore I don't know how to land and not race to your door I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore
I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore I'm not sure that I really ever could Hold on to your hotel key in your Bedroom neighborhood be sleep-walking in Hollywood
I'm gonna steer clear Burn up in your atmosphere I'm gonna steer clear Cause I'd die if I saw you I'd die if I didn't see you there So I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore
I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore I get lost on the boulevard at night Without your voice to tell me I love you, take a right the ten and the two is the loneliest sight
I'm gonna steer clear Burn up in your atmosphere I'm gonna steer clear Cause I'd die if I saw you I'd die if I didn't see you
I'm gonna steer clear, oh yeah Burn up in your atmosphere here I'm gonna steer clear Cause I'd die if I saw you I'd die if I didn't see you there see you there
I think I'm gonna stay gonna stay in the gray think I'm gonna stay And all the street lights say nevermind nevermind All the canyon lines say nevermind Sunset says we see this all the time, nevermind, never you mind.
Where ever I go Whatever I do I wonder where I am I wonder where I am In relation to you Where ever you go Where ever you are I watch your life play out in pictures from afar Where ever you go Whatever I do I wonder where I am In my relationship to you Wherever you go Where ever you are I watch that pretty life play out in pictures from afar
Sara Bareilles has to be exposed more. I'm not sure if she's the lyricist, but her music is beautiful. So beautiful that it's sad. Apparently, I'm an expert of finding something so beautiful to the point that it becomes sad. Sometimes, I'd rather find something so sad that it becomes beautiful, but after saying the words in my head over and again...it ends up sounding so...wrong.
Kudos to Ms. Sara Bareilles, the master of singing songs about beauty and sadness and being helpless, and finding the light at the end of the tunnel.
The tone she exhales as she breathes in and out are perfect for a girl who has had her heart broken by a man who seemed to be perfect for her, but really isn't. A woman who bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow, but still couldn't pin point the exact moment when it all just came crumbling down. And a lady who gives herself time to grieve the love that died, letting all the pain and sadness out by crying herself to sleep before picking up the pieces of her broken heart.
I am perfectly content and happy, but I somehow miss hearing these songs as I lie myself to sleep.
I think I'm going to bed with the sound of her soulful and heartbreaking voice tonight
With that in mind, let's hope for good dreams now shall we?
P.S. She has songs about falling in love with Mr. right too. Trust me. Haha
I'll leave you with my top 2 favorite Sara Bareilles songs.
GRAVITY
Something always brings me back to you. It never takes too long. No matter what I say or do I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone. You hold me without touch. You keep me without chains. I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your reign.
[CHORUS:] Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity. Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be. But you're on to me and all over me.
You loved me 'cause I'm fragile. When I thought that I was strong. But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone.
[CHORUS]
I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you're everything I think I need here on the ground. But you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go. The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down
Something always brings me back to you. It never takes too long.
IN BETWEEN THE LINES (I just had to highlight it all)
Time to tell me the truth To burden your mouth for what you say No pieces of paper in the way Cause i cant continue pretending to choose The opposite sides on which we fall The loving you laters if at all No right minds could wrong be this many times
My memory is cruel Im queen of attention to details Defending intentions if he fails Until now, he told me her name It sounded familiar in a way I could have sworn i'd heard him say it ten thousand times If only i had been listening
Leave unsaid unspoken Eyes wide shut unopened You and me Always between the lines Between the lines
I thought i thought i was ready to bleed That we'd move from the shadows on the wall And stand in the center of it all Too late two choices to stay or to leave Mine was so easy to uncover He'd already left with the other So i've learned to listen through silence
Leave unsaid unspoken Eyes wide shut unopened You and me be You and me always be
I tell myself all the words he surely meant to say I'll talk until the conversation doesn't stay on Wait for me i'm almost ready When he meant let go
Leave unsaid unspoken Eyes wide shut unopened You and me Always be You and me Always between the lines

I could try to forget what you do when i let you get
Through to me but then you do it over again
I could rage like a fire and you'd bring rain i desire
V1 Sit down, give me your hand I'm gonna tell you the future I see you, living happily With somebody who really suits ya Someone like me
Br Stand still. Breath in Are you listening?
Ch You don't know Somebody's aching. Keeping it all in Somebody won't let go of his heart but the truth is It's painless Letting your love show
V2 Break down. Give me some time I don't want the fear to confuse ya Right now, it's so wrong But maybe it's all in the future with Someone like you
Br Stand still. Breath in Are you listening?
Ch You don't know Somebody's aching. Keeping it all in Somebody won't let go of his heart but the truth is It's painless Letting your love show
Mid 8 Maybe truth, maybe lies Made me want you Maybe dumb, maybe wise...? I don't know
Ch Somebody's aching. Keeping it all in Somebody won't let go of his heart but the truth is It's painless Letting your love show You don't know Somebody's hurting. Holding it all in Somebody can't let go of his heart but the truth is It's painless Letting your love show Love show Letting your love show
*********************
I read it once, or twice (Okay fine, a hundred) somewhere that when you make a secret of the love of your life, your life makes a secret of love.
I seriously want to write about something that's been swimming around my thoughts ever since I glanced upon the pictures of the eheads concert. I will write about it soon, I promise. Just not now because I'm too lazy...and I feel like I'm on a high due to 2 packs of milk tea. Wonder-freaking-ful.
Where were you tonight btw?
Filling in the outlines Of memories that we could never draw in Then running in these circles Will make us dizzy, we’ll just keep on falling
I need you to give me the chance to take you for granted.
Seriously.
"I had the sadness and too much of it. There's no chemo for that except time."
civil? I fucking hate civil. Plus, MARCH 8 NA! Pwede ba, ONE YEAR NA! :s
Don't go away again, I want to be more than a phone call at 4 A.M. Seems like every time you come back home It's just to steal my heart and leave Don't go away again, I want to be more than a story to tell your friends Seems like every time you come back home It's just to make me fall again
My second entry of the day will somewhat be in tagalog, just because I feel that there will be more emphasis and emotion by doing so.
(Just a short disclaimer. I am absolutely NOT very good with my native tongue. I'm not proud of it :s But I felt like I needed to explain, just in case I say or spell something incorrectly. HAHA)
CHALLENGE LANG YAN. SERIOSO.
Pwede bang magsitigil ka na sa kaka muni-muni mo, dahil hindi talaga makakabuti sayo. Parang sinasabi lang sayo ni Jess na "O ayan Trina, papamukha ko sayo yan para maging mas malakas ka...para matignan mo sa mukha yung problema at maisip mo na isa lang itong pagsusubok."
CHALLENGE LANG YAN.
(Switch back to english)
He shows it to me not to remember...but to remember to forget.
And I soooo want to overcome this challenge.
Bring it fucking on.
We've all got scars as big as ours
A token for the pain we hide inside of us
Everyone's scared that somebody knows
You push it aside, yeah that's how it goes
If you've ever heard a beating heart
A rhythm for the songs we're too afraid to sing
Nobody here is perfectly fine
A delicate frame, a fragile design
If there's a hole in your heart
You gotta pull it together
It takes the courage to start
But now is better than never
It takes a push and a shove
Somehow it's never enough
And its alarming how quickly we forget that
Nothing's bigger than love
Nothing's bigger than love
Nothing's bigger than love
All you need, all you need, all you need is love
Some people change and some just won't
You can't take back the words you wish you'd never said
I used to think that words were just mere letters strung together to be able to converse without talking.
Now I realize that they are actually symbols of feelings, emotions, and everything else in between.
It's true what they say about silence. That it speaks in a language that sometimes only you and one other person can understand. At times, others try to comprehend what both of you are trying to say, but in the end they give up because they're just not on the same wavelength.
It's also true that big things come from little things. For example, the way one compliment like "You look radiant today" can make a person's day.
...that simple gestures lead to grandiose ones. Like the way you hold the door open for someone, and a smile is elicited from their face.
...and that big messages come from a variation of three to seven words. Like:
Hello stranger.or.thank you.or.with love.or.forgive me.or.I missed you.or.I forgive you.or.I loved you.or.I choose us.or.How has life been?.or.I've been thinking about you.or.Do you remember summertime?.or.I smiled hearing our favorite song.or.You make me want to be better.
So if you're reading this, don't read it aloud. Scan these words that I've used to symbolize the things I'm feeling right now.
Through silence, remember me. Remember us.
To my past, past progressive, and future:
Hello stranger. I've missed you these past few days. I want you to know that I forgive you and all those random shitty things you've done to me. You know, I truly loved you, and it saddens me that it ended that way. You may not want to believe me, but I speak the truth. In turn, I hope that you have forgiven me. In the future, I want you to know that despite whatever, I would choose us.
On a lighter note, it's been awhile since we conversed...how has your life been? Are you happy? I hope you are. I think about it sometimes, I've been thinking about you too, and i wonder, do you remember the summertime? I do. Being a music geek that I am, I listen to random songs all the time...and just this morning, I smiled hearing our favorite song.
Anyway, because of everything that has happened, you've made me wanttobe a better person. Thank you for that.
With Love,
Trina
P.S. Did you hear me through the silence? Sometimes I hear you too.
There are places i'll remember All my life though some have changed Some forever not for better Some have gone and some remain All these places have their moments With lovers and friends i still can recall Some are dead and some are living In my life i've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers There is no one compares with you And these memories lose their meaning When i think of love as something new Though i know i'll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know i'll often stop and think about them In my life i love you more
Though i know i'll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know i'll often stop and think about them In my life i love you more In my life i love you more
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ I kind of miss what we used to do.
I haven't done the oh so famous "25 random things about me" survey that everyone's so hung up on. I'm really tempted to do it, but after clicking "make a new note" I would feel the laziness in me rise up, so I end up not doing it at all.
Anyway, one of the 25 random things about me for sure, is that I'm a lyrics girl. I always have been, and I probably always will be. Another one would be the fact that any form of intelligent writing fascinates me. May it be in a form of a poem, a short essay, a good novel, or most especially in a song. That goes hand in hand with random fact number 3 about me...Music is definitely one of my passions.
With this in mind, I'd like to share one of the songs that I listen to over and over again whenever I feel like it. It's one of my favorites. The song is entitled "FOR BLUE SKIES" by Strays Don't Sleep. The lyrics are amazing and the beat is simple and alluring to the point that for 6 plus plus minutes, my mind is transported to a world filled with sorrow, and beauty.
You've probably heard it before if you're a OTH fan. This was being played during Brooke's famous "This is how I Spent my Summer Lucas...Wanting you" speech.
So here's the lyrics. Read it. Listen to it. Get hypnotized by the words, by the music, by the meaning of every syllable the vocalist sings.
It's been a long year since we last spoke How's your halo? Just between you and I You and me and the satelites I never believed you I only wanted to Before all this what did I miss? Do you ever get homesick? I can't get used to it I can't get used to it I'll never get used to it I'll never get used to it Remember that night among those same stars We're in a red car you were sleep at my side Going in & out of the headlights Could I have saved you? Would that have betrayed you? I want to burn this film You alone with those pills What you couldn't do I willI forgive you I forgive you I forgive you I forgive you For blue blue skies I forgive you
It always leaves me in awe and fascination whenever a song could speak to me in one way, and then sends a very different message to another.
For me, it's about passion, love, relationships, death, longing, finding.
I just finished watching the movie "Failure to Launch" (2006), and I just have to say that the soundtrack is the cutest :)
My mum and I also just bonded a bit over what women supposedly do best... "cooking". I helped her mash, dice, cut, grate, etc. various food components to create a culinary masterpiece (It's actually just pizza pandesal, banana pancakes, lentejas soup, and adobo). Now I'm trying to relax with half a martini glass filled with red wine though it's 1:43 in the afternoon. Haha. Somehow red wine reminds me of one of the sexiest songs I've ever heard (Love in this club part 1 by Usher).
Another one of those friday nights are coming up with the barkada hanging out here in my house.
Invite: Hello Friends! Save this Frdiay for alcohol and Karaoke over at my house. Friends, Food, and Drinks are welcome. See you at 8ish! BE THERE!!!! :)
Hahaha See you girlies and boyz this fuhriday!
Now let's all be quite cute and sing along.
and one more just because I think it's really sexy.
At exactly 12:06am, on the very steps where one of the world's greatest nation leaders statue stands, President elect Barack Obama is inaugurated in front of millions of viewers.
Out of all my 21 years on this very earth, I have not witnessed history being made that has moved me to tears and goosebumps. This was the very first.
I may not be American, but I salute the new found President of the United States of America. He has brought in change even before he set foot on the white washed steps of the whitehouse. He has ushered in a silent positive revolution to his nation, and around the world just by giving a speech that talks about his promise for a better nation.
I love the way that he is such an amazing orator. I wish I could whip up a speech like that at the very moment of needing it.
So there it is. History being made. Change has arrived. Hopefully good things will come along with it.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
On a heavier note. Enough is enough. I am so ardently embarassed with how I think, and speak, and reason out. I need to be tired. I need to have had enough. I need to be angry.
I don't want to strike out with you for MY sake. Once was okay, the second was partly stupid. And that's where it ends. No more strike 3. Let's leave it at that please.
This is me being selfish for just a few minutes.
I want you to need me. To need something from me. To need something so badly that you'll do anything just to have whatever it is that you need.
And when that one day comes. I promise you. I will NOT be there.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Obama, it's like you whispered in my ear and told me "It's time for a change"
Say it again for me cause I love the way it feels when you are
telling me that I'm the only one who blows your mind.
I found this "song" in my bestfriend's old journal dated Feb 7, 2005, and boy did it make me laugh.
Hello fellow Titans, sing along with me (I think it's pretty obvious that it's sung to the tune of Ligaya by the Eraserheads).
SONG TITLE: Fourtworitis
Verse 1:
Ilang leksyon pa ba ang aaralin o’ guro ko? Ilang Kcals p ba ang susunugin o’ Elay ko. Sampung araw na akong walang tulog dito Di na matago ng concealer mga eyebags ko
* Makagraduate lang kami’t makapasa walang humpay na LIGAYAAAAA…
Chorus 1: Aasahang mamimiss ko ang nanay namin na pangalan ay Lorna Mahabang mga kwento ni Ms. Ima Pati ang art classes ni Ms. Atienza At mamimiss ko ang kulitan at asran para kay Aurea.
Verse 2:
Ilang awit pa ba ang aawitin, Januarius ko? Ilang bola pa ba ang iiwasan o’ Alan ko? Tatlong oras na kaming nakaupo dito, Nabubuking kaming lahat ng mga guro ko.
Repeat * (Makagraduate lang kami’t makapasa walang humpay na LIGAYAAAAA…)
aasahang mamimiss ang mga Turong LesMis ni Mrs. Eala, Pati narin ang research paper namin, Na kayhirap ipaaprove at iproof read ni Mrs. Villalon.
Ilang hirit pa ba ang hihiritin o’ Benjie ko? Ilang Lab work pa ba ang gagawi-in Ms. Bascug ko? Mga equations ni Sr. Boyet at ni “Ms. Toto” Dahil dito nauubos na ang pad paper ko
Repeat * (Makagraduate lang kami’t makapasa walang humpay na LIGAYAAAAA…)
aasahang mamimiss ko si Sr. Callueng at ang computer lab. Na palaging may virus pag nandoon. Mamimiss ko ang pagkanta ng ALWAYS At walang tigil na kulitan at asaran para kay jz!
Oh Highschool, how I sometimes miss you :)
Tatlong oras na akong nagpapacute sayo Di mo man lang pinapansin ang bagong T-shirt ko.
This used to make me cry. and cry. and...well cry.
Something always brings me back to you. It never takes too long. No matter what I say or do I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone.
You hold me without touch. You keep me without chains. I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.
CHORUS Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity. Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be. But you're on to me and all over me.
You loved me 'cause I'm fragile. When I thought that I was strong. But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone.
CHORUS Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity. Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be. But you're on to me and all over me.
I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you're everything I think I need here on the ground. But you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go. The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down
I listen to it now, and it makes me sad. And sometimes I still shed a tear. And then eventually I smile. Sometimes I even laugh.
P.S. A new song from V baby. thanks love :)
One step too far All at once I'm falling Just like a star I'm burning for you Thought I could keep myself from feeling this way I guess that was my first mistake
Cause suddenly I'm walking' Down a dark street to your door Wanting you is driving' me insane And now my feet are standing Where they've never stood before Guided by a twist of fate
If I lose myself with you tonight Fall apart or hold on tight Wrong or right I won't be afraid Cause ever if my heart should break You'd be the best mistake I ever made
I'm in your room Now there's no denying' What's in your eyes When I look at you Two shadows talking' but they don't make a sound Words have lost their meaning now
And the air has turned electric Now I know the time is right To put myself into your hands And suddenly I'm shaking' As your fingers touch my skin I don't need to understand
And if tomorrow proves me wrong I swear I don't belong I know I'll carry on
So I will lose myself and bare my soul Take this chance cause heaven knows I'm so far gone, my choice is made And even if my heart should break
When I lose myself with you tonight Fall apart or hold on tight Wrong or right I'll always say You're the best mistake I ever made
I don't think
I need to put any lyrics here for this entry...right?
Everyday it rains my heart starts drowning my vision gets cloudy the flood moves around me Everyday it rains no sign of the light as the time goes by 40 days and 40 nights
...I've got a couple of musicals that can fall under the "LSS" category.
"Racing on the thunder And rising with the heat It's gonna take a Superman To sweep me off my feet I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night." -Holding out for a hero: Footloose the Musical
"Hands touch, Eyes meet Sudden silence, sudden heat Hearts leap in a giddy whirl He could be that boy. I'm not that girl." -I'm not that girl: Wicked
"When I see depressing creatures With unprepossessing features I remind them on their own behalf To think of Celebrated heads of state or Specially great communicators Did they have brains or knowledge? Don't make me laugh! They were popular! Please- It's all about popular! It's not aptitude It's the way you're viewed So it's very shrewd to be Very very popular Like me!" -Popular: Wicked
"Since I was two or three My life planned out neat I'd get my law degree And then win my senate seat. A big white house back east All of the amenities Three kids at least, just like the Kennedys" -Serious: Legally Blonde the Musical
"No! that's the chip on my shoulder I hugged my mom and I told her With the chance I've been given I'm gonna be driven as hell
Though I can't take the day off I just think of the payoff You need a chip on your shoulder Little Miss Woods comma Elle" -Chip on my shoulder: Legally Blonde the Musical
"Living in the ghetto black is everywhere you go who would've thought I'd love a girl who's skin as white as winter snow
In my ivory tower life was just a hostess snack but now I've tasted chocolate and I'm never going back" -Without Love: Hairspray the Musical
"And she sighs, and she swoons and she's hummin' little tunes Even has a sorta glow What on earth could it be? Any hammerhead can see! That sigh! That glow! That swoon! Oh, no! She's in love!" -She's in love: Little Mermaid the Musical
"I don't need any lifetime comitements I don't need to get hitched tonight. I don't want to throw up your walls and defenses I don't mean to put on any pressure But I know when a thing is right And I spend every day reconfiguring my senses.
When we get to my house, take a look at that town Take a look at how far I've gone i will never go back Never look back anymore And it feels like my life led right to your side and will keep me there from now on Think about what you wanted Think about what could be Think of how I love you Say you'll move in with me Think of what's great about me and you Think of the bullshit we've both been through Think of what's past because we can do better! We can do better! We can do better than that! -We can do better than that: The Last Five Years
I can't wait to go to New York and watch them live on broadway. MUSICALS ARE ABSOLUTE LOVE. Case closed.
" You kiss me like an overdramatic actor who's starving for work, with one last shot to make it happen. You've won the role, you've played your part, you've been cordially invited. But I'm not impressed, and I'm definitely not excited. 'Cause the film runs a shallow budget, and the writer's subject script isn't any deeper. So dive right in..."
" I'll bring the fire if you bring the water."
" I was the light from the lamp on the floor, and only as bright as you wanted me to be."
Let's give some to LCD Sound system:
" The worst is all the lovely weather, I'm sad, it's not raining. The coffee isn't even bitter, Because, what's the difference? There's all the work that needs to be done, It's late, for revision. There's all the time and all the planning, And songs, to be finished."
And others to our very own kind (Taken By Cars):
" And when I'm gone I want you to wonder And when I stop I want you to play"
"And if I fall, May the high place bring me down…"
Lyrics Girl. Always have been. Probably always will be.
"Maybe we'll go for a ride You said you'd take me nowhere I said that suits me just fine"
" Look how low i've sunk Don't ask me to rise I'll only lose you when i'm high"
