Oh well, I've been blogging a lot..LATELY! All because I have a break from my second job.. It kinda threw me off that I didn't have to rush from the bank to the Arena last Friday after work.. Then no work this weekend too! Wow, now that's something new! So I got the chance to basically just bum around this weekend.. I organized songs on my iTunes library.. I suddenly realized on how I missed listening to some of the songs in there.. Lately, all that's been playing were FRH songs.. So I put my asian obsession in a corner and started "re-connecting" to the world.. lol.. Then this song played: UNWRITTEN by Natasha Bedingfield:
I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned
Staring at the blank page before you Open up the dirty window Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance So close you can almost taste it Release your inhibitions Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with arms wide open Today is where your book begins The rest is still unwritten
Oh, oh, oh
I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way
Staring at the blank page before you Open up the dirty window Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance So close you can almost taste it Release your inhibitions Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with arms wide open Today is where your book begins
Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with arms wide open Today is where your book begins The rest is still unwritten
Staring at the blank page before you Open up the dirty window Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance So close you can almost taste it Release your inhibitions Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with arms wide open Today is where your book begins
Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with arms wide open Today is where your book begins The rest is still unwritten The rest is still unwritten The rest is still unwritten
Oh, yeah, yeah
So I do realize I miss this song, and the other songs that I used to listen to before.. I remember how this song inspires me as if its an anthem for people who just wanted to do something with their lives... no boundaries.. no "off-limits".. Its like being free to do whatever you want, just live in the moment! (this is like a perfect song to play while driving, windows open.. your hair all up in the air as if you're so care-free!)
But I guess its much easier to sing about it than to actually live it! As I admire people who can actually just quit their jobs, pack their bags and go on as to what they want to do with their lives.. The reality is, life can never be THAT easy.. there will always be bills to pay, things to do, and as an adult you need to be responsible for your own actions.. I think this is the part when one can say being a grown-up sucks! As the songs still inspires me to be free and live the life I wanted.. I'm still waiting for that moment when I could say: Today is where MY book begins.. The rest is still unwritten..
"We always thought we'd look back on our tears and laugh, but we never thought we'd look back on our laughter and cry."
hey, Happy Birthday Girl! We still miss you and you know that right?!? I just realized on how I miss leaving a comment on your Friendster, and then waiting for your reply.. or a message on your YM and seeing that you buzzed or you texting a quote with a Happy Birthday at the end.. I just miss it, I still miss you.. And knowing me, I am forever forgetful of dates.. especially birthdays, I will always be either advance or late.. But I'm hoping to remember at least two dates for the rest my life: April 3 and May 31.. ok did I get it right?!? You have to help me out since I'm trying not to cry.. And that I'm really screwed up with dates! I just cannot imagine, if at one point I'm gonna start to forget your birthday.. I get so caught up with the crazy world of being a grown-up that sometimes I know that I'm missing out on stuff., But I just don't wanna miss out on you not now, not ever..
So I am making this promise: that for as long as I live, I won't forget your birthday and your anniversary and as long as I have a blog or any other outlet where I can let everybody know how amazing of a friend you are.. Let me at least do this part to keep your memories... And hopefull someday, Bea gets to read this and I'm pretty sure she will be so proud how good of a person, a better friend and the best mom you are...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIA!!! love Ya, always have always willl....
I was watching SNL last night and Kanye West was a guest.. I am not a total fan of him but I do know that he's one talented artist.. As he started singing I started to notice that the song was quite nice, good thing I was also online at that time..
Love Lockdown... wow, the lyrics.. left me speechless.. I'm impressed on how he icorporated that style of music with that kind of lyrics.. I don't think its a new song though, but since I'm in a total C-pop mode lately and been listening to Asian songs the last few months, I'm just getting back on track.. here's the lyrics:
Im not lovin you, the way I wanted to What I had to do, had to run from you Im in love with you, but the vibe is wrong And that haunted me, all the way home So ya never know, never never know Never know enough, til its over love Til we lose control, system overload Screamin no no no, no no I aint lovin you, the way I wanted to See I wanna move, but cant escape from you So I keep it low, keep a secret code So everybody else dont have to know
So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down You keep ya love locked down, you lose
Im not lovin you, the way I wanted to I cant keep my cool, so I keep it true I got somethin to lose, so I gotta move I cant keep myself, and still keep you too So I keep in mind, when Im on my own Somewhere far from home, In the danger zone How many times did it take til I finally got through you lose, you lose I aint lovin you, the way I wanted to See I had to go, see I had to go No more wastein time, we cant wait for life which is wastin time, wheres the finish line
So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down You keep ya love locked down, you lose
Im not lovin you, the way i wanted to I met no one new, I got no one new No I said im through, but got love for you But im not lovin you, the way I wanted to Gotta keep it goin, keep the lovin goin Keep it on a roll, only god knows Am I into you, baby im confused You choose, you choose I aint lovin you, the way I wanted to Way I got to go, I dont need you I been on this road, too many times before I aint lovin you, the way I wanted to
So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down Keepin ya love locked down, ya love locked down Keepin ya love locked down, ya love locked down Keepin ya love locked down, you lose So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down Keepin ya love locked down, ya love locked down If you keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down Keepin ya love locked down, you lose

Best bonding with my kuzins , Belai, Dorxie and Jhozelle.. Tried and tested! Mga walang pagod! After having an all-day / overnight family outing sa Calamba, Laguna.. Breakfast at my aunt's place at Sta. Rosa.. Original plan tlga e Tagaytay pa.. pero di na kaya ng powers ng mga ibang ksma nmen...
and so kmeng Fantastic Four na lang ang natira.. Went to dorx's place muna sa Better for lunch.. Then off to Bonifacio High Street... And I get to watch a movie again! We watched What happens in Vegas..
This is a patayan to the max na lakad!!! But so much fun!! Thanks kuz for driving me around.. Excellent driver.. from Laguna .. to High Street.. to the streets of Tayuman!!! woohoo!! One day we'll get our place at Serendra... hahaha
fuego pics from my digicam.. so yeah don't expect it to be a lot since nasa terraza pa lang kme, before lunch e nasira na yn cam ko!! Mag-picture pa din ba kc khit umuulan na?!? And yeah, my cam's not water-proof.. so go figure huh?! I just CAN'T GET OVER sa ganda ng place.. Some pics were from my iPhone.. really such a nice place.. this basically completed my vacation..
Since I was so bored during the Holy Week, I found the time to edit some of our -"aged-old".. -super-ancient... -took Jhoy 48 years to upload -barkada pictures.... And somewhat able to compile it for a nice slide.. And I'm launching it today for my friends and everyone to see.. Its for Mia's bday.. Celebrating her life and our friendship.. We miss you girl.. No more tears..
Can't wait for this day!! What puts me in the mood to blog about it was the fact that me and Ivy started (finally!) to make some plans. Of course, first things first were going to visit our friend first. Actually that was also part of my plans, and I never got around to tell her since haven't got the chance yet to catch her online. So probably our "friend" was so excited for us that she probably decided to drop by Ivy in her dreams.. Hahaha! (Ayan Ganda, di na kc mka- antay c Mia kaya kinulit ka na nya!) So now that we have a couple of places for our choices I really hoped we can have it finalized by end of March to early April.. Because of the latest news from my sis, I may have to change plans for our family trip. So I am really hoping to go to a real nice place where I can relax, release and scream my heart out!! Neng, sabi ko sayo yun may mataas na vantage point!
I do have my plans but its not final yet, I'm still waiting for my "secretary" to finalize my schedule and send it to my email!! hahaha.. I'll post the list of places I wanted to visit next time!
Everytime i'll hear something that will remind me of my good friend Mia.. i'll post it here.. though your gone.. you'll never be forgotten.. and ill make sure of that!! your memories will always be with us mia.. luv u girl..
since i was so broke after coming back from my vacation, im left with no choice other than to spend my weekends at home, far from my usual shopping spree saturdays and sundays.. nothing really left for me to do so i decided to watch movies till my eyes bleed.. haha..
my friend from work brought some of his dvds and i borrowed three movies, that i haven't seen before. i chose Casanova, Hitch and from his recommendation i picked out The Illusionist.. and then back home i already have The Break-up, 50 First Dates and Shall we Dance.. six movies, whew.. i am that bored huh!!?? here's my "review" of the films i've seen..
Casanova- first film i've watched, early saturday morning.. this romantic -comedy was really pretty funny in a period-set kinda theme.. i love Heath Ledger playing Casanova. of course thre's this strong English accent, set probably in those 1700's era.. i love watching this kinds of movie with great costumes.. one particular scene i liked was when he came to give Francesca a gift.. which is a pig.. the lines were so funny..
The Break Up- the much talked about film of Vince and Jen.. i was expecting much more than what i've seen.. i was thinking it was going to be so funny and romantic.. well it was for the first parts.. i like that part about the lemons.. the never-ending battle to piss each other after still living together after the break up was funny, but then later on it was kinda dragging towards the end. thank god Jennifer Aniston's really pretty, especially after the "wax" scene.. watch the alternate ending on the special features though..
Hitch- looking for film where you can find a lot of nice quotes?? watch this one then! Will Smith was really great in this movie.. i liked it, every movie line is "quote-worthy".. here's one line i like from the film: "Any guy can sweep any girl off her feet, he just needs the right broom." Really funny and romantic..
The Illusionist- i never thought i'd like this one.. Edward Norton was really fascinating, he plays the magician Eisenheim. it a love story covered with mystery and drama.. the magic tricks left me wondering.. how did it happened??!! you cant miss out any part because you'll be left puzzled in the end.. this one's really worth watching..
50 First Dates- Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler reunited.. this was a bit serious than The Wedding Singer.. but then i love how it was a bit more matured although it still has the same adam sandler - robert schneider comedy tandem. really romantic though, imagine trying to keep the girl to fall in love with you every single day. drew plays lucy who has a short-term memory loss. so everything that happened today, she wont remember the next day.. it was funny, although i was thinking about it, it can turn into a romantic-drama movie.. kinda like The Notebook, remember the old guy?? this one's a younger, comedy version of it.. haha.. i think it was different, romantic, fun but then can still make your eyes a bit wet, feeling bad for drew...
so, im left with one more movie to watch.. Shall We Dance? starring Richard Gere and J.Lo.. try to watch it tomorrow.. just in case im still bored..
day tour at villa escudero with my friends... konti lng namin pero happy naman!! i love the place.. ganda tlga.. and the food's awesome!!!! sana nxt time mksama lahat...
aiyoh! this whole leaving comments on my blog is hilarious kuzin!! oh well, i was supposed to go and shop a little but i changed my mind... what?! me changing my mind with regards to shopping?!? WOW! i've changed?!? nah, just being lazy..
As the songs still inspires me to be free and live the life I wanted.. I'm still waiting for that moment when I could say: 
But there's always online shopping... 
And somewhat able to compile it for a nice slide.. And I'm launching it today for my friends and everyone to see.. Its for Mia's bday.. Celebrating her life and our friendship.. We miss you girl.. No more tears..
