I just had to post this. I was browsing old blogsites of people I knew and came across this one…

Nice one ex! hehehe!

Book 1 of 4

I took a long break from reading books. I think the last book I read was “Love the one you’re with” – Emily Giffin. BIG thanks to my super duper baet sponsor! J To give a brief background on how I got the book (and not the story), I got it as a gift. Sowsyal kasi Hardbound eto! J Anyhoo, Emily Giffin is one of my favorite girly girly authors – next to Sophie Kinsella of course. And the way I see it, Emily is not that popular here in the PH. It was really hard to look for her novels (pero nung nasa NJ aku, ang dame! NY bestseller ang mga novels nya e J). Out of her 4 books, I was only able to purchase 2. I couldn’t find the other 2 anywhere. (Kahet magpa-order e walang assurance!) I mentioned this to one of my closest friends and guess what, he got me the 2! I dunno where the hell he was able to find them and he wouldn’t tell me even if I begged! Plus, he gave each book with a perfect timing! J

Anyhoo, months passed and I’m back to reading. I have been curious with the twilight series ever since my brother asked me if I knew what it was about. His classmates are utterly addicted to it and I have no clue what he was talking about. After hearing it again from an officemate, I decided that I’m going to go get myself one and understand what the buzz is all about. I got the first installment – Twilight, 2 weeks back. I haven’t had the time to read it so my brother opted to read it first. It was the first time I saw him so engrossed in a book (Even if a subject in school required him to read one, he will never do it in this pace). And after finishing it, he was urging me to go start reading it right away.

So here’s the deal, I finished the book in 2 seating. I can’t put it down once I start a chapter. The story is highly addictive. I won’t go into the details of the story. Let’s just say that I wish I have my own Edward. Haha! J And just this afternoon, I bought the next 3 books! J I can’t wait to go home and start reading New Moon. J

I’ll be posting some of my favorite lines later.

* wish you could read it so you can see the similarities with Edward and Bella… J

i want it to stop..

Out here on the ledge,
I’m not far away from stepping off.
I’ve finally picked out my cloud,
It’s the one over there, surrounded by all that air.
You reached out your hand,
And said, “I understand, so why not come down?”

Well except for a few small bruises, cuts and scars,
Well I’m fine.
Oh except for a few small bruises, cuts and scars,
Well I’m fine.
Thank you for asking,
I’m so glad we had this moment here.
I know they think I’m crazy,
But everything I am,
Is everything I was taught to be.

You reached out your hand,
And said, “I understand, so why not come down?”
Oh except for a few small bruises, cuts and scars,
Well I’m fine.
Oh except for a few small bruises, cuts and scars,
Well I’m fine.

Oh and as you read my words out loud,
Make me sound genius,
Make me sound special,
And maybe I’ll come down.

Well except for a few small bruises, cuts and scars,
Well I’m fine.
Well except for a few small bruises, cuts and scars,
Well I’m fine.

Oh and as you read my words out loud,
Make me sound genius,
Make me sound special,
And maybe I’ll come down.

i can’t help it

No matter what I do…

No matter what I say…

No matter how hard I try…

I still feel empty…

great expectations

Just when you thought everything will be back to normal, or better yet, things will get better… Think again… Think again a million times… Distance is one thing, being away for a ‘quite a while’ is another… You can’t assume that when it was freakin’ sunny the day you left, the sun’s warmth will still be creeping inside your skin when you return… It can be absurdly raining cats and dogs… Lucid clouds can simply be covering the skies… Anything but sunny… So what do I do next? Do I wait another year for summer to finally take me over? Or do I modestly accept the fact that it’s time to put on my raincoat and start bringing my umbrella?

This time around: How do you spell T-I-R-E-D. haaay.. I just got home from the office about a couple of minutes ago. My workload and stress is killing me. BUT, I won’t give in. That never was my motto in life and never will be. I’m a peon and all I say or rather do is work, work. Gawd, I miss playing FT! Should have installed it before I left so I can play on my spare time. Spare time daw o! J

I’m definitely going to miss this place. L This has been my home for like almost a year now. And just yesterday, the ‘goodbyes’ have started to dwell on me slowly. Don’t get me wrong. Of course I’m so excited to go home. Then again, there’s never been an ‘easy’ send-off for me. Got an invite for my “send-off lunch” yesterday. I don’t even know some of the ‘invitees’. LOLz. Oh well. And there were 2 others asking me to have lunch before I go. Shucks, never knew I made friends here in the office. J People have been so nice to me. J

Hindi ku sasabihing namiss kita! Kasi aasarin mu lang aku! ;p see, I told you I know you so well. Hehe! Tagal mu naman kasing indi nagparamdam! Wala tuloy makulet saka maartie, like me! Haha! J

For those who tolerated my rants and my whines, maraming salamat! J I know how “kulet” I get when I really want to beat up someone este something. I become unreasonable, I curse, I go on and on, and I curse again! Haha! J A big hugz to all those who were able to endure my kamalditahan. J

Bohol -> Boracay -> Galera -> EK -> Vantage Point -> Shutter -> Forbidden Kingdom -> Tagaytay -> MOA -> GB Chapel -> kanya kanyang bahay.. haaay.. ang haba ng listahan at marami pa kung nakalimutang ilagay..

Halfway through with my last Kinsella. Next question is: Do I go ahead and purchase the latest? Or do I wait for someone to get it for me for my birthday? J which by the way is just a month away. J

It’s over! Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz are engaged! waaaaaah! Pete, panu na ku? L

Kaba modern and jabbawockeez rule!!! J

Dozing off……..

To the two people…

Who spared me from any prejudice…

Who asked…

Who listened…

Who understood..

Who shared their wisdom…

Who gave me courage…

Who saw me through…

Who continue to inspire me…

I’ll be forever grateful…

sometimes you can’t make it on your own

Tough, you think you’ve got the stuff
You’re telling me and anyone
You’re hard enough

You don’t have to put up a fight
You don’t have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don’t have to go it alone

And it’s you when I look in the mirror
And it’s you when I don’t pick up the phone
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own

We fight all the time
You and I… that’s alright
We’re the same soul
I don’t need… I don’t need to hear you say
That if we weren’t so alike
You’d like me a whole lot more

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don’t have to go it alone

And it’s you when I look in the mirror
And it’s you when I don’t pick up the phone
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own

I know that we don’t talk
I’m sick of it all
Can you hear me when I Sing,
you’re the reason I sing
You’re the reason why the opera is in me

Where are we now?
I’ve got to let you know
A house still doesn’t make a home
Don’t leave me here alone

And it’s you when I look in the mirror
And it’s you that makes it hard to let go
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own
Sometimes you can’t make it
The best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own

panu kung di ka na masaya?
