Earth hour. Have you been part of earth hour? We spent the night with our relatives in Cavite. Tito Bishop (as we fondly call our uncle) gave in to our request for a joy ride. There was nothing much to see within the area so we decided to stroll in the mall. 8.30pm we went back to the car and drove home. It was a hot night so we can’t afford to turn off everything. We had a good dinner then had a little bonding and then went to sleep. The following morning, we celebrated uncle Phyte’s birthday by going to digman and had halo-halo. It was a good weekend. J

downer…

Something that made me smile today. A picture of my cousin with whom I was chatting with, hahaha. I would appreciate anything that would make break this monotony of doing work and thinking of you. I’m tired and I hate it. I hate it. But I had to be busy. Really busy, this is  better. Better than freakin’ moping… L

eleses…

LSS (last song syndrome). I was just this morning that I heard this song over the radio. Then I just found myself singing this song the whole day. Good thing it was a good song. And now, I shall sing…  …” it’s not polite… to ask you where you spent last night… if I did you might reply that I have not right… and anyway I’m fine… you’re no longer mine… I f I should tell a lie… I’ll cross my heart and hope to die…”

wedhump…

Today is Wednesday hump day. Two more days and then it’s weekend again. “Spelling Bee” on Saturday and then lunch out with dad on Sunday. Yes, I’m on a “culture” mode on Saturday. I missed “Avenue Q”. I hope this play is better. J

over and over…

Then what’s next after this? Another one? Here I go again, moping over the same things but somehow it’s different now. It’s easier or maybe I have just gotten used to it. Work has helped a lot. All the metrics reports, reviews, admin, meetings and overtime stay in the office was my medicine or a bad drug… … Coping up with the negative vibe was easy with all these. And so, more work please… haha…

passion…

They say that part of living a good life doing what you love to do. Then I thought what is it that I love to do (aside from work, hahha). I’ve always loved music, different kinds of it. I love eating, and it is so obvious I had to watch what I eat now. I love to travel, the experience is just overwhelming. I love walking. I love taking pictures. Wow, there’s so many that I love to do. But nothing beats doing all these with people you love.

mt. pinatubo…

 

Saturday, March 21, 2009 was trekking day for me and 24 other people. It was short of an extra challenge (to say the least) because most of didn’t have enough sleep (if no sleep at all) before the trek. Call time was in Makati MSE bldg on March 21, 2:00 am. We arrived in Capas, Tarlac at around 7:00am. The trek was composed of a 30-minute ride on a 4×4 and a 3hr trek. It was very tiring. Each of us had a 1.5li of water on our back, extra clothes, phone, and trail food on our back and of course camera to capture this experience. 

 

When we got to the Mt. Pinatubo crater, the scene was something very short of an oasis. It was beautiful. The lahar surrounding the crater already looked like mountains. Trees and grass have already grown to it. A bit of wild life was already there.

 

We brought lunch and it was adobo, rice, tomatoes, salted egg, green mangoes and bagoong. We had lunch at the side of the crater. There was no water so each had to drink what was left of 1.5li. We were so hungry after the 3hr trek and had much fun eating. We hardly know each other. I just know my brother (of course), his girlfriend, his gf’d twin sister, an officemate and another friend who I was introduced with months ago. Around 2pm, we had to go back. It was a bit faster going back. We reached homebase at around 6pm. I took a good shower and chilled around the area while some were having a massage.

 

What an experience. I almost did want to back out. I’m happy I joined them. J

chocolate high…

“If we make each other happy then we just can’t lose…”

 

This is the first line of the song I’m currently addicted to. I heard this first over the radio. It was a new song featured in one of their shows. I got hooked after I heard it. Now I have a copy of the song in my phone. It’s not one of those songs that have deep meaning. It’s my “feel-good” song. Somehow I get a similar kind of high which I get when I eat a favorite chocolate bar. It’s about being happy with someone and celebrating that feeling. J… Here’s the lyric to this song…

 

If we make each other happy, then we just can’t lose

I don’t mean to be decadent,
I might sound like a hedonist.
But the simplest way I can put it,
You become a habit.
The more I consume, the more I gotta have it.

Ain’t no such thing as too much.
If you gave me everything it’d never be enough yeah.
My black coffee with sugar no cream in the morning You’re my super double caffeine dream yeah.

Your precious darkness got me so strung out and lovin’ the way that you got me so wide open, my babydoll.
Jonesin’ and fienin’ under my skin
My nerves are screamin’ when you’re not here.
See, baby, I need ya.
Sugar, you’re so delicious.

Chorus:

There is somethin’ about your love that makes me just want to open up.
Your flavor is the sweetest thing in life.
I’m addicted to your chocolate high.

‘Cause I want you, and I know that you want me.
So, let’s stay close like we supposed to be
And just get high off our own supply.
I’m addicted to your chocolate high.

I be trippin’ in so many ways if I
Go a single day without a taste of your love,
The finest cuisine of today’s world.
Five stars you’re just so gourmet

I crave you; I want you.
Every cell in my body needs you, tasty like,
Hershey’s and Nestle youre rich like
Godiva boy youre just so sexy

 

love in charge…

i don’t know why i came to love this song when i first heard it years ago. Maybe the lyrics or music or arrangement… i don’t know. i tried to look for the lyics of this song and then there… i just started to appreciate it. i guess another of those cheesy songs but i think it’s good and i’m still feeling it… 

J

 . it’s about so many things… hope, forgiveness, healing, acceptance and of course, love, love, love.

Title: When It Was Over lyrics

When it was over and they could talk about it
She said there’s just one thing I have got to know
What in that moment when you were running so hard and fast
Made you stop and turn for home
He said I always knew you loved me even though I’d broken your heart
I always knew there’d be a place for me to make a brand new start

Oh love wash over a multitude of things
Love wash over a multitude of things
Love wash over a multitude of things
Make us whole

When it was over and they could talk about it
They were sitting on the couch
She said what on earth made you stay here
When you finally figured out what I was all about
He said I always knew you’d do the right thing
Even though it might take some time
She said, Yeah, I felt that and that’s probably what saved my life

Oh love wash over a multitude of things
Love wash over a multitude of things
Love wash over a multitude of things
Make us whole

There is a love that never fails
There is a healing that always prevails
There is a hope that whispers a vow
A promise to stay while we’re working it out
So come with your love and wash over us

fart1…

I’m dreaming of another beach vacation or just anything to get my mind off or it. killer! hate it…

rip my armpit… =)

What’s more embarrassing? Tripping in front of Starbucks or ripping the armpit part of my jacket. These are just a few of my bloopers which may seem to be normal for a clumsy person like me. Just this morning, I ripped my jacket as I reached for the arm bar while riding the train. It was a funny sound and the people who tried to look on where the sound came from was even funnier. Hahahay… and the funniest thing was I didn’t notice that it was my jacket that got ripped until I tried to fix my hair in the restroom. It was a cute hole. Oh well, my two year old jacket just got ripped.

Last weekend was seafood tripping with mom in Cavite. My brother was out and so we decided to visit our relatives in the south. I tried to wake up early to pay bills and check out if there’s anything I liked in the mall. I had breakfast and watched TV. Then I was hungry again and noticed that it was already 1pm, so much for waking up early. I decided to just stay for a while and around 4pm I was on my way to the bank to withdraw some money. Electric and phone bills, credit card bill… All done… I wasn’t in a mood for shopping so I just went straight ahead  until I saw this perfume stall. Then I craved for a Happy Heart perfume from Clinique and yes, I bought just a small bottle. J

da cos iz cler… =)

When do you think it will all become clear? It used to be a question for myself until another person made it clear. I guess it was clear ever since and I was just denying. It was hard but it I was relieved. Every day I had to deal with it and was (and still am happy). Of course there are these moments when  thought I couldn’t take it but at the end of the day it ends up with that realization and with that I will stay.

love is brutal eloquence… indeed…

oriyo…

I feel summer. It’s not just ‘cause it’s hot. I just know this feeling so well and, it is summer. I was watching MTV and noticed the face of Francis M on their logo. I was feeling a bit nostalgic while I watched music videos. I remember watching MTV while I ate at the pantry years ago at ELJ building where I used to work as a resolution specialist for a company that I stayed with for almost a year and a half. And yes it was 2005 – 2006. My “coming of age” year, hahaha… I thought of “oreo” a whole lot during my stay there.
