the return of the girl in the dirty shirt

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm
Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I’ve got to go home

Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
‘Cause this was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all be all right
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home



{July 27, 2007}   outbreak or breakout?

It’s definitely important to start your day right. Coz mine didn’t and it ended exactly the way it began – BAD, really BAD.

  • I dunno if it’s just me being my usual obsessive-compulsive/highly-organized self -OR- people just find it amusingly acceptable to go through a battle unarmed. And upon asking for having such principles? They eventually find an easy target they can pick on. Makes you wonder…
  • I don’t f*cking get it why people leave you with such hanging phrases. If it’s true that curiosity can kill, I’ll be dead over a hundred times by now. “If” being the operative word. Word of advice, if you don’t have anything nice to say, shut up. It kills me…
  • So here I am, wandering aimlessly. Not sure on where I stand or where I am going next. Waiting for answers to questions which have not been asked. Predicting the verdict of a two-way street. Or maybe even an intersection. Who knows?!
  • Panic attack – (Noun) result of being a freakin’ paranoid; try to be one and you’ll know what I am talking about. Example: I acted like a guilt-stricken idiot having a panic attack over a petty invitation. Huh?!
  • I got to watch how the prophecy inside a small crystal ball was obtained. Kinda bored me coz I already know what’s going to happen. After meeting Albus Severus, the movie seemed a little mediocre. Yeah, yeah..
  • Not to mention that this was a first for me. Yep, my record has been tainted. I am now officially pimped or punked! Haha! No longer a companion-seeking movie-goer. Should I be ecstatic about it? Or does it spell L-O-S-E-R? Hmm…
  • And then everything went completely black.. or blank.. whatever. I was so damned worried coz it hasn’t happened before. I panicked. Totally panicked. After 20 minutes of futile conversations and attempts, I broke down. Frustratedly clicking anything in sight. And it worked. Just when I thought that the only resort was to send it home, it surprisingly went back to where it belonged. The end…

You – No matter how serious (or even strict as what other people put it) you are, you never fail to throw in your punch lines every now and then. And man, do I really laugh my @$$ off when you do! Hahaha! Super galing mu talaga magpatawa without even trying to! J Err.. I think that one didn’t sound right! J Anyway, glad to have you around. I enjoy all those rational and irrational conversations we always engage in.

 

You – Distance doesn’t hinder you from taking care of me. Highly appreciated! J For checking up on me day in day out, for always making sure that I eat right, that I don’t stress my self from working and working out too much, for our never-ending planning sessions on where to go to next, for always putting a smile on my face on top of it all.

 

You – I must say that we really know each other all too well. We can finish off each other’s sentences, we’re on the same level of thinking (or not, or not yet, unfortunately I’m getting there and it’s entirely your fault! J), we rant and rave on similar crazes, and the list goes on. Who ever thought that we’d end up like this?! J

 

You – Guilty as charged! I should admit that I now pine for the shrill of your guitar.  I know I know, I used to hate it a lot. Almost threw that guitar of yours out of the window! J But things change. Especially now. The shrieking strings minus the amps are now music to my ears. Hope to hear it again soon.

 

You – No words. Just you and this smiley: L

 

You – Have to stop doing that to me. You’re killing me you know that?! I know that I shouldn’t have known about it. But that’s not the point. The point is you have to stop doing that! End of story.

 

You – Told you it was coming. We both knew that from the beginning. I guess you’re just too damn afraid to admit it. And now that it’s finally here, what are you going to do about it? Weigh your options. No need to hurry. But you have to decide somehow. As long as you’re happy, I’m good with it.

 

You – Do you really have to? Can’t it wait? I know I shouldn’t bother asking that question because it’s none of my business. I guess what I am trying to say is that… Hmm.. I don’t have to say it. You already know that. Or at least I am hoping you already know.

{July 2, 2007}   meeting jordan

“Do you like the color of my nail polish?” asked by a cute little girl sitting beside me at McDonald’s near 14th along 6th. I must admit that I was a little surprised that this little girl talked to me. I was having my lunch this afternoon while reading a book in one corner when the little girl caught my attention. She was showing me her fingernails painted with bright pink nail polish. And that’s when our conversation started. J

 

I told her that she had a pretty pink nail polish and it looks good on her pretty little hands. She suddenly smiled and said she knew! J I am a bit hesitant with making friends with the little girl because I think she was with her aunt (I think.. doesn’t seem like her mother). But since she started our small chat I went along. I asked for her name and she told me it was Jordan. Then she asked for mine so I said it’s Karren. Afterwards, she was telling a story of her friend’s mom’s name was Karen and it was such a pretty name. Smart girl! J She also told me that she has a boy’s name. That she doesn’t know any girl named Jordan besides her! J

 

We also talked about McNuggets because we had the same order. We also talked about our earrings, our favorite color, our favorite cartoon characters, etc. And there you have it; Jordan is officially the first friend I have made here in the US! J

 

Before I left, she gave me 2 stickers. One was Ariel (Little mermaid) and the other one was a shell from her Surf’s Up Happy Meal. Sweet! I told her that I’d keep them so I’d always remember her! J She suggested posting them in the refrigerator because that’s what she always does. J
