saturdaynightlies

the thing with last saturday was worth blogging. i didn't blog about it right away. why? coz it was too painful to talk about it. it was totally a misjudge of character.

a week after it happened, i can finally lay down my feelings and put them to rest. there's no point in dwelling in it and there's certainly no sense in attacking him.

so here's to me and my brand new self:

saturdaynightlies
d'sound

Please save your
saturdaynightlies
My sheets are
as cold as yours
And if you knew
what love really is
you’d be crying forever
But there’s just no help in that

So go to bed and be quiet
Count to one hundred
and do your best
And if you knew
what love really is
you’d be crying forever

But you are here
and you’re near
Cause you are here

Let us share these sheets
Let us fake some heat

You don’t have
to turn the light out
I’ve seen that whole scene before
And if you knew
what love really is
you’d be bursting into fire

pulling a fast one

i had chat with Yogaster a few days ago and then out of the blue, he told me: you're not the bratty i used to know. i immediately demanded an explanation. he said, back in HS, every time i open my mouth, its either an insult or a joke. and sometimes the joke is even more insulting.

to some degree i agree with Yogaster. i guess i've mellowed down through the years. i've learned not to say what's on my mind all the time. diplomatic eh? ü

maybe during HS days, when every teenager thinks he / she is ultra cool in every aspect, i had no qualms in saying what's on my mind coz (1) i really didn't care what people think; (2) older-than-me people think i'm just a pathetic teenager who doesn't know what i'm saying; (3) and i think it would make me look cool if i could pull a fast one all the time.

on heavy rotation

39 D'Sound songs are in heavy rotation in my iTunes now. not only me, but the rest of my officemates who got to watch them last weekend.

i feel it coming, bits and pieces.....

les miserables

Eponine broke up with her almost-a-decade boyfriend. ouch. if she can't patch things up with him, i hope she'll be able to pull herself together. i don't want her to get devastated the way Cranberries was when her more-than-a-decade boyfriend broke up with her.

of all examples!

i'm working with Dakila right now in a project for a foundation. he asked me to review the grid and in one of the reply messages, he needed to cite an example. of all names that he would use, it would be TRAGER! oh what an example!!!!!!!!!!

<snip>
Limit this to only 18 characters. Example, Trager.

yes, i know it's a uber common name, but c'mon, he could have picked another name.

i just don't want to be reminded of ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING TRAGER.

freeloader weekend

i spent the evening of Friday the 13th with officemates watching the back-to-back concerts of Boyz II Men and Brian McKnight. we all got the tickets for free, and we were not fans of these artists, and we had nothing better to do that night. what happens when these 3 conditions come together? a bunch of girls lambasting the artists and annoying their neighbors in the end. but we all had a blast, and a doze every now and then.

VDay was spent in a much appreciative way. i had lunch with Denialqueen, Dakila, Carambs and Carambs' mom at, wherelse, Manang's. then when Carambs had to go to her Learning Links, we - Denialqueen, Dakila and me - had coffee at Mocha Blends. then spent the rest of the afternoon sleeping before heading to Shangrila Streetscape to watch D'Sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i bow thee to this Norwegian trio. they are totally awesome!!!! i have to thank Nous Nours for the tickets ü

they sang around 20 songs. couldn't remember all the songs they sang but here goes - breathe in breathe out, do i need a reason, talkin' talk, disco ironic, enjoy, down on the street, good man good girl, people are people, dancing in the moonlight (boracay!!!!!), love is on my way (my personal fave!) and everybody's favorite, tattooed on my mind. lovely night! ü

ironic

Trager came to me telling about his personal crisis when he is my personal crisis. at first, i was thinking "how on earth did i manage to get myself into this kind of mess?". after putting a little bit of maturity, i felt flattered he wanted my help and opinion. signs of being able to move on? yes, i think it is.

i hope Trager figures out what to do.




and who would've thought it...figures

saturday lunch

to my delight, i'm not eating my saturday lunches alone anymore.

earlier today, i had lunch with Dakila, Carambs and Carambs' parents at Manangs. i love eating at that place. okay, okay, that was a semi-biased comment coming from an Atenean ü

i also had lunch at Manangs last weekend with Denialqueen, Dakila, Carambs and Kulet. thinking about my health status, its been 2 weekends of cardiac delight for my heart.

my second weekend here in the jungle for 2004, Denialqueen was my lunch date. we ate at Ken Afford because she was craving for their lumpia.

my first weekend after my month-long vacation, i had food delivery. pathetic, eh?

when it rains, it definitely P-O-U-R-S!!

oh my gawd! i've never seen Cross Patch that mad. the Jedi Master is all to blame. i haven't digested all that has happened today. hopefully, tomorrow things will be brighter. i can't take this kind of stress everyday. it will eventually kill me.
