nelly's new song is really nice Ü haha. just wanted to share. i didn't use to like nelly but the suit part of his twin bill album is coming out with really good cuts (including my place Ü). i also had my pc fixed this afternon and now my inetrnet connection is back! after so many months hehe. great Ü i can dl songs again and stuff. sembreak has been hreat. stress-free and very relaxing. though it's grade-releasing time again tomorrow... and i'm a bit edgy about one of my subjects. darn. hope i make it... coz there's a certain mark i need to make since i'm on probation. if not, it's bye to ateneo for me. anyway, whatever.

on loop: waiting in vain ~ annie lennox

wow. sembreak has been great so far. i'm really relishing every relaxed and stress-free moment, hoping that what i'll have this break would be enough to tide me over the rigors of next semester. yesterday i had a good day out with my friends pam and bea. me and pam met up in greenhills theater mall and grabbed a drink while waiting for a movie. around 630, we caught Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, it was great! super galing Ü loved it (and Jude Law too mwaharharhar)... there was a very good reason why it was the number 1 movie in America for the past few weeks.

after the movie, we grabbed dinner at dencio's greenhills. the live band was really great... they had good acoustic covers of many really nice songs. the food was fabulous... loved the kare-kare and the calamares. yum! hehe Ü we also had a round of san migs to cap off the dinner. bea followed after a bit and we atyed for a bit more in dencio's then headed to powerplay ortigas (on foot) to play counter hehe. it was a good night. had coffee in starbucks around 1230am already... on the way to the coffee shop, we came upon two very very very adorable kittens. sigh. lovable. i ended up sleeping over at bea's.

we got up around lunch time already. watched some tv while lying around then watched a dvd of The Whole Ten Yards Ü hilarious, that movie. left around six to grab some coffee then headed back. i'm here again... will be spending the night here again hehe. i have a volleyball tournament to join tomorrow and i'm really nervous about it since i was only informed about it this afternoon. darn... no practice. it'll be at greenhills west and some cash is up for grabs daw hehe. so i'm thinking twice about joining since i might mess the team up. aheheh. though i really miss playing and i'd really love to join, i just wish i had more time to internalize (hehe naks).

we're supposed to be Team Gray and i'll be with my blockmates... so thoughtful of them to include me. i'm really touched, actually hehe. it's always a pleasure to play with them since they're really good and were members of their respective leagues during highschool. it's at seven am kasi eh... too early to function. hehe. but i'll see about it Ü hrrrmmm. what else. i'll be working on my shifting soon, darn. i hope european studies-business track would take me in. their my only hope hehe. and i hope i didn't fail any subjects during the past sem... or else i'm out of ateneo for good. oh Lord please help me. eheh.

to everyone, enjoy your sembreaks! make the most out of it Ü

on loop:oh well ~ boyz ii men

super stress! the past two weeks have been killing me. school is incredibly demanding though i try to not let it show too much that i'm having a really hard time. i'm really tight with my time and i can't seem to get things done right. this week and the next one is harder yet so i really have to focus. i promised myself only one night of leisure from this day on up to the following week. sigh. this is going to be a long two weeks. the tension is breaking my back.

anyway, a group from my theo class had a presentation earlier and i found it really interesting. their topic was about relationships and they answered so many questions about it. makes you wanna say something like.. "ahh, now i know" or something like that.i'mplanning on posting about the things i discovered one of these days after finals next week. i really don't like whining but sometimes it can really help alleviate the pressure and the stress. i should go, i need some whine-time :s

everybody's changing ~ keane

You say you wander your own land
But when I think about it
I don't see how you can

You're aching, you're breaking
And I can see the pain in your eyes
Says everybody's changing
And I don't know why

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move
Just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing and
I don't feel the same


(instrumental)

You're gone from here
Soon you will disappear
Fading into beautiful light
'cos everybody's changing
And I don't feel right

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move
Just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing and
I don't feel the same

lyrics time

lyrics

on loop: my entire playlist


it's been a really long while since i posted lyrics here so i thought now would be a good time as any to do so. so here goes nothing Ü

this is one of the nicer songs to date... great message ;p

If I Ain’t Got You ~ Alicia Keys feat. Usher

Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power
Some people live just to play the game
Some people think that the physical things define what’s within
And I’ve been there before
But life was a bore
So full of the superficial

CHORUS
Some people want it all
But I don’t wanna been it all
If it ain’t you, baby
If I ain’t got you, baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain’t got you

Some people search for a fountain
Promises forever young
Some people need the dozen roses
And that’s the only way you prove you love him (listen baby)
Hand me the world on a silver platter
And what good would it be
With no one to share
No one who truly cares for me

CHORUS 2x

I ain’t got you with me, baby
So nothing in this whole world don’t mean a thing
If I ain’t got you with me, baby

*****

this song is dedicated especially to sunshine hehe ;p

Who Do You Tell ~ Tamia

There you were in a crowded room
With someone, at least I assume
How did I know I would fall in love with you so soon?
Just one look in your eyes and I see the truth
And I try hard to hide that I’m made for you
But I know deep inside things that we could do
Just as long as we’re together

CHORUS
But who do you tell when you love someone?
Hoping that someone’s in love with you
Who do you tell when you love someone?
I think I might as well tell you

I can’t believe that I feel this way
There is so much I want to say
I wanna (touch you) hold you (feel you) please you
As we’re making love all through the night
We will talk to each other
We will laugh and play
We will play this forever
Every night and day
We would share every minute
Till the test of time
(In my mind) In my mind, baby

CHORUS 2x

I’ve hesitated much too many times
And I won’t let you slip away from me (No)
I know you’re for me I’m made for you
But I don’t know what to say or to do
So now that we’re together
I’m telling you

CHORUS

I think I might as well tell you

*****

have a good weekend everyone Ü

dum-de-dum

dum de dum...

on loop: sunday morning ~ maroon 5

came across this little thing this morning, thought i'd share it Ü :

A girl asked a guy if he thought she was pretty:
he said...no.

She asked him if he would want to be with her forever....
and he said no.

She then asked him if she were to leave would he cry,
and once again he replied with a no.

She had heard enough.

As she walked away, tears streaming down her face,
the boy grabbed her arm and said....

You're not pretty you're beautiful.

I dont want to be with you forever. I NEED to be with you forever.

And I wouldnt cry if you walked away...I'd die.

(sorry for the mush hehe didn't settle all that well with me either)

#####

since two days back, i've been almost run over thrice already. and since last night, i've been receiving all these stupid chain letters that all sound the same (love love blah blah), and since wednesday, i've been hearing this certain song EVERYWHERE i go. weird. it's not even a new song... one of the later ones with about four revivals already. even received a ringtone of it for my phone. weird these days. i think the Lord is telling me soemthing, i just don't know it just yet. hope it's good though hehe Ü

#####

finals week is coming up... and the workload is fast piling up. it's as if all the professors are going into a frenzy since they're about to finally release students from their clutches, but they won't let 'em go just that easy. harhar just kidding. so i'll really have to focus these next couple of weeks so i can enjoy my break without worrying if i failed or if i failed. eheh just kidding. i owe it to myself at least Ü time to focus.

crazy shmrazy

crazy shmrazy

on loop: do i need a reason ~ d`sound

these past few days have been crazy. i've never felt more weirded out as i have lately. but i don't even know why... weirrrd. i also have some unpublished posts at my pc at home that i haven't had the chance to upload since i keep forgetting to save it in a diskette and upload it here from school (since the net at home conked out). i've been pretty aimless lately... going about the usual routines here and there, trying to convince lyself that i really am doing something that would lead me somewhere and not leave me smack where i am right now... nowhere. *sigh* the perils of ficle-mindedness and uncertainty.

i'm seriously also thinking of changing my layout. i'm leaning towards bright colors... somewhere around orange or pink. yellow, even. whatever non-drabby. but blogfrocks seem to be down and i don't really get along with the layouts in blogdesign, though they are very nice and all. i was also supposed to watch a play today with my friends but financial constraints stood in the way of freedom of artistic expression so i am forced to lay back and immerse myself in the wonderful field of philisophical readings just in time for a long exam on monday. i'm thinking that i'm to have ample time to soak these immensely philosophical ideas up over the weekend since i'll be isolated in our other house in BF, with no phone, no friends, no nothing. just me and my readings. woop-de-doo.

i think i really need this time off from the world to mull over some stuff and get some things in perspective. just me and my thoughts. perfect. i think i'll go get crazy now! eheh just kidding :) i won't do that, of course. also, my friend sunshine celebrated her big day last tuesday... cool party! hope you enjoyed it. and of course, happy happy birthday :) another birthday girl is andrea... too bad we weren't able to spend some time to celebrate, next time :) happy happy birthday to you too! hope you had a good day to start off your next twenty years and more. hrrrmm... i've also been bored lately. all been same old same old. i've never really been this restless about life ever. i must say i'm getting weirder by the minute. must be my age... tsk tsk.

disconcerting

disconcerting

on loop: ~ The Best of Bread album (nyaharhar ;p)

“Change your life, change your name, still the music sounds the same.” – a line from a song by Bread

I’m thinking of changing the layout for my site. I’m kindof getting bored with the way it’s been, even if I don’t really blog in here that often. Kinda like the way I’m getting a bit bored with how my life is going. I feel like things are going way too slow… and that I might not be headed anywhere after all, or even if I were, I’d probably end up missing it because I’m too slow or something like that. I know everybody’s saying that no one should really rush things, and that they should just take everything at their own pace. I have always been a believer in “God’s time”, like how they say that everything would come in His time and in accordance with His divine plan for you, but one can’t really just leave everything up to God now, could they? Do your best, and He shall do the rest.

Also, a lot of thanks to everyone who came to my birthday dinner even if my house is like a zillion miles away Ü really appreciate all the effort. I know it was hard for some of you to even attend, much less come up with a surprise or something. What was important was that you shared that day with me. Something I don’t think I would ever forget. The get-together was fun, there were a lot of food and drinks (and desserts!) plus there was a videoke machine haha. Very cool. Sa uulitin. Thanks again… hope it was worth your while.

Hrmmm… I also got to see “The Notebook” with Bea. It was beautiful. I’d love to watch it again, but I wouldn’t want to watch it by myself ‘coz I’d look stupid crying by myself haha. Yep folks, it’s a tearjerker… or iyakin lang talaga ako? Hehe. So if anyone out there would want to see the movie (I highly recommend it, worth your time and money) and needs someone to watch it with, I volunteer! Hehe Ü the twists were very apt yet surprising, it’s not at all shallow. I also really liked “A Walk to Remember”, a movie also based on a book by Nicholas Sparks, same genius who came up with “The Notebook”. Nice.

Started this post on a sober note, sorry. For the past several days, I’ve been up to my ears with dilemmas. Things have suddenly been very confusing. Usual things I didn’t even give a thought about were all of a sudden, complicated matters that couldn’t seem to get off my mind. But it’s getting better now… I’m getting things into perspective though I still AM confused. Finally given myself the opportunity to reflect and think about things. And now, it’s slightly clearer. Better than nothing. On a lighter side, I’m excited for the party on Tuesday! It’s going to be in my house to be held by Sunshine for her big day Ü her birthday’s actually on Monday and Andrea, another one of my friends, will be getting older (yet wiser) on the Wednesday after so I think they’ll be celebrating together Ü that’ll be great. Advanced happy birthday, guys!

breathing space

breathing space

on loop: everybody hurts ~ R.E.M

i haven't been able to blog for quite some time now, been caught up with some issues and basically, i haven't been able to find the time though there have been quite much i would have wanted to blog about. anyway, forget about those. lately, i've been learning to appreciate the olympics in athens and have somewhat developed a liking for it hehe. and last night as i was watching the events, i came upon the men's volleyball finals. it was between spain and brazil. brazil is world number 1 while spain was among the less favored teams that went into the olympics. anyway, to cut through the chase i hab a nyu kras! haha how terribly 12-year old. anyway here's a tiny (and upclose :D) preview of spain's men's beach volleyball player. and they bagged the silver in this year's olympics by the way. and what's even more amazing is that pablo (naks close) was in a coma for three days just a year ago due to a car accident and look where he is now! sigh. and he's only 22 years old hehe (pwede pa ;p). anyway enough of the delay, here he is:

pablo herrera!

what else... what else. i'm in a tight bind right now. money issues. i have to scrap together a lot of money to pay for someone else's debt. argh bad trip. i'm using up money i was supposed to use for myself and finally get a dvd player and a laptop and stuff. hayy. whatta life. money's hard to come by... too bad the world runs on it no matter how much people would like to think it's love and peace that works the wheels of the world. a pretty thought and very pleasant but a bit idealistic. i still believe in love and peace and all of those but i don't think i could live on those alone. duhr. this just had to come by a few days before the third... sorry friends, the treat would have to be a bit delayed. money's tight :) hopefully, things would work out soon.

on another note, i seriously need to cut down on coffee and cigarettes. it would save me a lot of dough and probably spare me a few more months to live or so hehe. also, i should spend more time studying. i need a lifestyle overhaul, actually. time to focus onstudies, health and business matters. just so i could have some sort of direction... not just spazzing around waiting for something significant to hit me in the head. yeah, that's right. life change. easier said than done though :s
