What a waste...

What a waste...

hearing: Mandy ~ John Stevens




there have been several American Idol reruns that are showing on TV nowadays and i've been indulging myself in them, being the bum that i am when classes are out. during its regular season airing, i was not able to follow the show since #1: i had no cable access and #2: school was eating me and my time up alive. so it is only lately that i am appreciating the show and its talents. and (obviously) John Stevens totally got my vote! such a waste to have him taken out. no offense, but i think he definitely held more talent and promise than George Huff and even Diana DeGarmo.

if Jasmine Trias weren't so cute and Filipina, i'd definitely put John Stevens over her. hehe. shucks. what a voice. hope they wouldn't junk such an amazing find like him. the last night that he was on the show, he sang 'music of my heart' by gloria estefan and n'sync. demet... whatta rendition. he can turn any song into a smooth mellow mix. however thats probably whats drawing him back... he really is more of a balladeer than a pop to punk artist. his voice isn't that flexible and versatile. but i hope he comes out with an album. i also heard that the show would be going on tour showcasing the finalists, but unfortunately for the non-american residents, its just going to be an inter-state tour... or so i heard. oh well... best of luck to him :)

God is at work. I have recently received an e-mail from my economics 111 professor that he gave me a passing grade!!! oh good Lord. i totally expected that i would flunk his class since i flunked all of his exams, lacked in attendance (i was either absent or late since it was a 730am class.. gad), and during the times that i was present, i was either chatting with my classmates, staring out into space, or what not. i hardly listened to his lectures. and at the end, i get this. a passing grade. i feel so incredibly unworthy yet thankful and blessed at the same time. i don't feel relieved since i have already accepted unto myself the fact that i would fail without a doubt. but i didn't. i could almost cry... my professor has a good and merciful heart.

Sir Jeff D., thank you so much. you have no idea how you just saved the educational career of this student on probation...

anyway, i remember this song a person i know suggested to me before. this person had a great influence on my musical tastes. the songs i learn from him are always good. that's why i always trust his judgement. one of these songs is 'Stick Around' by Azure. easy listening. bagay sa weather hehe Ü just got to hear it again this afternoon and learned to appreciate it again, most especially the meaning behind it.

Stick Around ~ Azure

How many times do I daydream
about making love to you
and take you to a special place
where it's only me and you

I'll put away all your troubles
on the other side of the world
and run my arms around your heart
and tell you you're my girl

So let's go steal away in the night
and we'll go far away from here
to the place where our love is right
can I take you to my world?

CHORUS:
Whenever you're sad
whenever you're crying
I'll be the one who wipes away your tears
Whenever you call
Whenever you need me
I'll be the one who runs to you
Giving my love
Well you know how much I love you
so you better not let me down
I'm not asking for too much baby
just stick around...

A quiet day in the country
or a rainy night in my room
we'll hide away under my sheets
after the morning comes too soon
an afternoon in your eyes
or a lifetime in your heart
forever just stay long enough
but it leads to take a start

falling deeper in love with you
will you be there to catch me girl
are you falling deep with me too
can I keep you in my world?

CHORUS

forever... forever
oh would you come on baby
let's go steal away in the night
and we'll go far away from here
to the place where our love is right
oooh coz

CHORUS

forever... forever. ##


*sigh*

speaking of sigh-worthy beings, John Stevens is incredible. what a voice *sigh* raised to the nth power. i wish he won in American Idol... but i guess his voice, albeit amazing, is not as flexible as Fantasia's. oh well. atleast i hope he'll come out with an album or something *rarr*.

hearing: kitties meowing

it's registration day already for me in a few hours. i got a really sucky number so i'll probably end up with all the horrible professors and class schedules. swell. just when i need to do great in school since i'm on probation. rarr. hmmm. what else is new... classes begin on the 14th (happy birthday lisa!) and that means i have less than a week to spend for myself just before my days in hell begin once again.

i really want to go to baguio with my friends but everyone's schedules are totally conflicting :( :( :( which is incredibly sad since even if i really really really want to go on this trip, i can't make it alone. we were supposed to meet up with our friend in dagupan since we'll be staying over at her house there fior the duration that we'd go galivanting all over baguio (ukay-ukay! hehe), bolinao and hundred islands (huling hirit ng sun, sand and surf ;p) and other places. i feel like everyone could really use this time off for a vacation. i'm really crossing my fingers (and toes), hoping that my friends would be able to make the trip...

during the past few days, i have also acquired a horrible new addiction. cocaine... LOL. i'm just kidding. actually, its playing The Sims. incredibly wholesome and harmless compared to coke and stuff hehe. The Sims have been around since the time being but it is only lately that i have first lain hands on the game and now i can't seem to quit playing it! harhar. how shallow. i'm actually really proud of my house, family and neighborhood ;p can't wait to get ahold of the Über cool expansion packs! (hint hint... my bdays fast approaching. hehe jk ;p)

also, three of my friends have put up their own blogsites! and have recently been added to the Links section. go check them out: raberdaki, peaches, and stained glass. interesting aliases, doncha think? go have a look-see... good waste of time. hehe just kidding :) it would be 'time well spent' (naks ;p). anyway, that's that for now. hopefully, i'll get decent professors and classes since i'll have to live them for quite some time. really hoping for that right now. wish me luck! keep safe.

happy shala-lala...

moodswing: elated!
hearing: a little bit ~ m.y.m.p.

i'm really happy right now. sugar rush kinda happy. though i have more than enough reason to be crying and get mad, i choose to be happy. i picked one reason out of the hundreds of others that make me sad. this one reason is what makes me smile nowadays. time really does have a way of giving you the things you need and want, at the moment you least expect it. and it's funny how a single reason could make all the others seem irrelevant, though deep inside i know i'm worse off than i care to admit.

"the mose precious things come in small simple packages... and in places you never thought you'd find it." ~ a hallmark saying, i think? but true all the same.

*****

me and my friends have plans to head to baguio for a few days... probably over the weekend. woohoo! i'm really looking forward to this. i can't wait to get someplace else and have some time and space to clear out some clutter in life. can't wait ;p

~ great things stem from the tiniest details in life. details that you never noticed up until now... when it formed the big picture. pay attention to the moments you have, because you never know when it just might be THE "one moment" you've been waiting for. ~

hallelujiah...

at long (painful) last... i have finally gotten off my busy/lazy chair and worked on my site. the layout's been totally messed up for the longest time and i just didn't have enough spare time (and energy) to lend to revamping the place up. first of all, my web host conked out. after which everything else on my site went berserk. rarr. the hassle. and when i did try, i could hardly find a working web host! it's either they're charging (so what if i'm cheap ;p) or they don't host anything other than image files. and praise the Lord above, i came upon Ripway (after hours of searching and diversion from one flaky host to another)! it's this really great web host :) and they're free! woohoo! hehe. but the sidebars and stuff are still messed up but i'll just have to get back to them some other time... having this great new layout is fab enough for me :)

anyway, it's real late already and my class is at 7am and i've still got stuff to study so i have to get going. just had to post to check out and run my new template! courtesy of the ever-reliable blogfrocks, of course. i tried other template sites and though they have really cool layouts, nothing comes close to the uhh.. user-friendliness of blogfrocks. perfect for techie-dunces like yours truly ;p i love the layout!!! i've been eyeing this for months but i've gotten somewhat attached to my old one so i couldn't bring myself to change it. finally, i have. and i'm happy i did. even after much debate as to what template to apply (i actually downloaded several ;p), this won out. i mean, who can beat a great sunset right? and since we're at that, hope you guys are enjoying the summer sun (what's left of it, actually) before typhoon dindo or something brings in the rest of his gang and officially end summer for us (actually, you, since i have classes and have zero opportunity to graze the summer lands ;p).

ALSO, i am looking for people who want to EARN "EASY" MONEY!!! i'm serious about this... and i'm pretty sure everyone of us wants to earn good moolah, right? just leave a message in YM or tag here. or email me at yahoo. my i.d. is hyanz. earn hundreds of thousands of pesos a week doing nothing in this legal and fool-proof business venture that is taking everyone by storm ;p (now this is one storm you wouldn't mind being caught in!). so, come on! drop me a line and start getting richer and closer to that dream car/watch/camera/laptop/etc. that you've been eyeing forever ;p i know i have.

ciao for now Ü

hrmmm...

just a few dyas back, a good friend of mine offered to spiffy up my layout and in turned out real great! but for some reason, it's getting all jazzed up and messed so i opted to change it to an easier to manage layout (for now) and since blogger had tons of new ones (to go with their image revamp ;p), i picked one from their selection. it's nothing fancy... but it's allright. i'll get around to fixing it up some time soon. i haven't placed the links and taggie and everything else, but i'll try to get to that after this post. if not, some time soon :) blogger's getting cooler... hehe. hope they won't start charging or something ;p anyway, be getting back at you!

spankin' new

wow! dig the new layout! :) created for yours truly by a friend. coolness, hehe. anyway, the main thingamajigs are in place but some of the images like for the fanlistings and stuff don't come out all the time yet so i'll have to get back to that one of theses days and fix it for good. the sidebars and navigations are a bit lopsided... and it's irritating me (all those hanging sentences and stuff) but i really have no time to fix it right now. in a few days, maybe :) but none the less, a ton of thanks to that friend who pestered... erm, oops i mean, inspired me to get a change of layout ;p

school sucks. actually, i suck. my school doesn't.

on two occasions, i rode the same tricycle to and fro school. what's so special about that? well, this particular trike unit made a distinct impression on me because of the anecdotes and "biblical passages" written around its interior in spidery yet humble writing. here are some of them, VERBATIM, if i may add :)

"The Lord is my shipperd, I shall not one."

"For God so loved the world, He gave us His only sun. - JHON 3:16"

Hmmm... kindof reminds of the words Shepherd, Want, Son and... oh yeah, the name John ;)
