After work, Z and M invited you to go with them to shop for a Thermos in Robinsons Metro East. You said you’re just gonna join to eat. Their hubbies went with them, and you being the “fifth wheel”, were dragged into a couples night out of shopping spree (oh come on, how many kitchen towels can a household of four really need). How amusing it was to witness their arguments over getting this brand of sippy cup for their kids or this kind of broom or plastic organizer and whether they are exceeding their allotted budget for the week again. Instead of feeling OP (actually, you felt the girls got a wee annoyed when the guys checked out the electronics section with you) you were smiling this weird smile of yours the whole time, thinking this rare thought of how glad you are to be single. Ang cute nga nila, but right then and there, you just realized you’re not ready to go googoo over the price of milk bottles, baby cologne and household cleaners just yet. Baka next year? Haha.

While browsing in the Daiso store
Z: Para kang ewan Dons, instead na para sa bahay ang bilhin mo, ang dami daming maganda dito, AAA batteries? Yan lang kelangan mo?
D: Hindi ko nga kelangan eh, I have rechargeables (sabay balik ng 2 dosenang batteries).
Z: Geek. Dork.

Perm Who cares if you look like you’ve woken up with a bad hair day in the 80’s? Basta gumising ka nalang kahapon at naisip mo, “Magpakulot kaya ako ngayon.” So after a couple of hours getting a stiff neck and inhaling the thioglycolate fumes, tada… mukha ka ng poodle. Hahaha. Okay naman, bawal na magsisi at medyo pikit mata ka sa gastos. :p

P.S. Papi will disown you when he sees you. Sabi niya wag daw eh. Bakit ba, kulot ka naman nung baby ka ah?

Sa bahay natulog si I hehe. Love siya ni Bishy, feeling mo. Waah, dahil sa kanya LSS mo “Crush” ni Archuleta!

Do you ever think when you’re all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it real or just another crush?

Falling in love ka diyan. Crazy ka lang. :p

Divisoria

21 days ago under Sky Is Falling

Divisoria street Divisoria was fun with Z. You commuted to their place so Son can drop you off in the Santolan LRT Station. You rode a pedicab going to 168 Shopping Mall, but before that you chanced upon a diaper store and your companion has gone crazy over the wholesale prices of nappies. You never knew diapers can excite anyone. Upon reaching the mall, you’re already on a mission: you bought bed sheets, clothes, shoes, rags, containers and other whatnots, all for less than two thousand pesos. You ate in a fast food resto, drive through via a pedicab. Haha. This guy pedaled you from the streets of Ylaya (where you purchased rubber shoes) up to the Recto Station where you first descended upon arriving in Manila. You both looked filthy, tired, and almost down to your last hundred that day but who cares. You still managed to go home, and your mom got you MOP shirts for perks. Yay for shopping.

P.S. Kelangang bumalik dun bago mag Christmas!

Clean Breaks

21 days ago under Somebody Else's Song

Dashboard Confessional

I believe in clean breaks, I keep the old troubles away

But you’re making sure
I was lying when I said

“I can leave,
This behind”

I need you to ruin me
For this, finally,
‘Cause it’s burying me

Now, I’m in these old knots
Each move keeps me locked away

With each new embrace,
I have tied myself up.

More tightly,
Into you

Oh, but the more I fight
Then the deeper I’m trapped
And I can’t break free of this hold that you have

And I crave you more
Under the heat of your touch
And I need your skin

To ruin me
For this wicked town
Where your ghosts are bound
To me

One last sacrifice
Of this ritual escape

I was lying when I said…
“I believe,
in clean breaks”

Fuck.
P.S. You’re dead.

So little time

23 days ago under Sky Is Falling

The motion keeps my heart running.

What occupies you lately that does not entail the word curriculum? Whoa, August na pala. Update!

Mamma Mia, Keane and more Lifehouse
You can just hum Amanda Seyfried’s version of “Honey Honey” all day. Catchy and cute. You’re not as enthusiastic as Lifehouse’s B-side tracks though… they’re not that… hummable. Still, their cover of “Somewhere Only We Know” (by Keane) is always worth mentioning at best. ;)

Breaking Dawn
It’s interesting, true, how * beep SPOILER * Bella and Edward managed to spit out an offspring (parang chewing gum ah) right after their honeymoon, but why do they have to give her a name as lame as Reneesme? And Jacob Black imprinting on her suddenly made everything seemed a little too convenient for their overly done love triangle. * SPOILER beep * Wow, how original (at least it’s a shower better than local teleserye love triangles where they kill off the other girl or guy). Also, it’s funny how you can’t help keep your mind off Heroes as you go skimming through chapters of this book. Wala lang, just had to comment when you weren’t able to with the first three books in the saga. Forgettable naman kasi highlights sa mga yun eh.

Pushing Daisies Pushing Daisies
Ned (Lee Pace) is sooo adorable. You’d really do a double take not being able to kiss or hug him if you’re in Chuck’s (Anna Friel) shoes. You like Digby the Dog too. Hehe. By the way, the narrator in the series is Jim Dale, the one who read the Harry Potter (US version) audio books and Kristin Chenoweth, the Glinda of Broadway’s Wicked plays the role of Olive Snook, the waitress who’s in love with Ned. Astig.

Birding
Everybody in school keeps teasing you about your latest pursuit. They never run out of green jokes each time bird watching and binoculars are mentioned in your conversations. Mga salbahe.

Quiapo and Divisoria
No need to elaborate?

P.S. Sigh, after heading a school-wide event, conducting a Montessori materials demonstration, and cramming for a long exam, PTC nanaman meaning narrative-making nanaman. Sayang ang long weekends ng buong August, pero ok na yun kesa wala.

Short on time… but you want to believe you have enough.

This could be the end of everything so why don’t we go somewhere only we know?

Happy birthday.
P.S. Forget that our time is almost up.

Hanging By A Moment

43 days ago under Hanging By A Moment

I’m closer to where I started chasing after you.

Blackout. Well, more like a wipeout. Heh. As soon as you got hold of free invites (thanks to N), you eagerly asked I out to this middle-of-the-road lifestyle and clothing brand’s underwear show last Friday night. “Bakya na kung bakya,” you told him. You just had to 1) see what it’s all about, and 2) go out and worry about nothing but to have fun. No better date for that than I, and frankly you’re not sure if you can pull off lining up for something as tacky as an underwear show if the date’s less than him. True enough, even if the show is kinda crappy (your seats were crappy, whaddaya expect, you can’t even appreciate the models’ figures from afar much more recognize their faces) and even if you didn’t see Fafa P (but Fafa S was there, pwede na), having I to laugh and groan with you made the late night in Cubao worth it. :)

Jason Wade, supposedly. Hanging by a moment. So you get to cross another item off your ultimate to-do list: to hear your favoritest band perform live. Ghad, JW!!! You were mooning already even before they entered the stage and sang their opening song “Make Me Over”. They played mostly songs from their latest album (and you thought it was a You and Me tour), but you were content naman with the old favorites like “Spin”, “Hanging By A Moment”, “You and Me”, “Simon” and of course, “Blind”. Again, OA, but you almost burst into tears when they sang the latter with “Take Me Away” because you prayed so hard they wouldn’t -along with “Somewhere in Between” and err, you know, their banner, “Everything”. Basta, sabihin nalang natin na overly sentimental ka lang talaga. You have to admit though that you were a little disappointed they didn’t include in their set the song “Breathing”. Grabe yun ha, when they did “Bridges”. Or “Somebody Else’s Song”.

Anyway cliché: it was a night to remember. It’s been so long since you’ve gotten teary eyed with excitement over an event and even if you’re not 100% sure the company enjoyed, you’re glad there are still people willing enough to indulge you to partake in these certain happy, happy times.

Sabi nga ni Chris,

Happiness is only real when shared.

Sana nga lang wish din nung tao na i-share yung happiness mo di ba. Sigh.
No regrets. Kahit hindi patron. :)

We discover who we are. You’re better now. You’ve somewhat come into terms with who you both are. You’ve begun to accept that you’re mere plugs to some voids -after (or because of) everything you’ve been through, you still fill a need in each others’ lives. And though those needs may be different, and at times cumbersome or even painful to realize, you can never deny how he has been ingrained as a part of your existence. A piece of your puzzle. A particle of your air. A light of your past…

Sabi nga ni Alex kay Jonathan, kahit anong mangyari,

I will always be along the side of your life. And you will always be along the side of mine.

Awwness… Kamusta naman ang mga pag block quote.

I’m falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I’ve held onto
I’m standing here until you make me move
I’m hanging by a moment here with you…

P.S. It seems at this point, wala ka na talagang magagawa gagawin kundi huminga.
