All Saints - Never Ever with Lyrics

This is not the real "whiteout"

“Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, 'What! You too? I thought I was the only one”C.S. Lewis quotes

This Blog post is a dedication to a friend of mine who became my friend at 5th grade. I remember that I was really weird at that time. I admit that because it was true. There was this girl who was near my seat who had always asked to use my whiteout. It was the old liquid kind that looked like a boring bottle of nail polish. She asked to borrow it almost everyday. We talked and I found out that we actually had things in common. One of those things was the fact that we both thought that it was totally awkward to go to SM Delgado on your own. It seemed like everyone would stare at you because you had big bags that would make you look like some poor soul who was being tortured with all the weight. I don't think that it's that big of a deal anymore but back then I remember that it was. We started hanging out. We'd go to little places like Marymart and Sm Delgado. we were younger so we didn't venture out that far.

At sixth grade we were still friends and through her I got to know even more people. We would watch movies, go to malls and do some other stuff. It was the same in first year High School and also in second year as well as now in third year.

She's part of my circle of friends that I'll always remember and love.

Never Grow Up - Taylor Swift [Full with Lyrics]

Your little hands wrapped around my finger & it's  So quiet in the world
tonight Your little eyelids flutter cos you're dreaming so I  Tuck you in, turn
on your favourite nightlight  To you everything's funny You got nothing to
 regret I'd give all I have honey If you could stay like that  Oh darling don't
you ever grow up Don't you ever grow up Just stay this little Oh darling don't
you ever grow up Don't you ever grow up It can stay this simple  I won't let
nobody hurt you Won't let no one break your heart No one will desert you Just
 try to never grow up Never grow up  You're in the car on the way to the movies
 & you're mortified your moms dropping you off At 14 there's just so much you
can't do & you cant wait to move out someday & call your own shots But don't
make her drop you off around the block Remember that she's getting older too
And don't lose the way that you dance around  In your PJs getting ready for school
 Oh darling don't you ever grow up Don't you ever grow up Just stay this little
Oh darling don't you ever grow up Don't you ever grow up It can stay this simple
No ones ever burned you Nothing's ever left you scarred And even though you want to
Just try to never grow up 
Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room Memorised what it sounded like
 when your dad gets home Remember the footsteps Remember the words said And all
 your little brother's favourite songs I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be
 gone So here I am in my new apartment In a big city they just dropped me off It's so much
colder than I thought it would be So I tuck myself in & turn my nightlight on  Wish I'd never
 grown up I wish I'd never grown up  Oh I don't wanna grow up Wish I'd never grown up I
could still be little Ohh I don't wanna grow up Wish Id never grown up It could still be simple
Oh darling don't you ever grow up Don't you ever grow up Just stay this little
Oh darling don't you ever grow up Don't you ever grow up It can stay this simple 
I won't let nobody hurt you Won't let no one break your heart 
And even though you want to  Please try to never grow up  Oh Ohhh Don't
you ever grow up Oooh (Never grow up) Just never grow up

Never Grow Up - Taylor Swift [Full with Lyrics]

There's this Lyric where she talks about being 14 (15 in my case) and always wanting to call your own shots. I admit that I've been thinking about that a lot. I like it because it reminds me to appreciate my mom and the moments that I'm experiencing.

The Ready Set - Love Like Woe (Video)

I first saw this video on V music channel then forgot about it afterwards. But I later remembered it because it's one of the songs that were played last weekend. The music video's a little weird but the song's cool and the guy kind of looks familiar. :)

I kinda feel like it don't make, like it don't make
Feel like it don't make sense
I'm thinking baby you and I are undeniable
But I'm finding now love's unreliable
I'm given all I got to make you stay
Or am I just a roadblock in your way?

'Cause your a pretty little windstorm
Out on the boulevard
Something like a sunset
Oh, you're a shooting star
And I might drive myself insane
If those lips aren't speaking my name

'Cause I got some intuition
Or maybe I'm superstitious
But I think you're a pretty sweet pill that I'm swallowing down
To counter this addiction
You got me on a mission
Tell me darling can I get a break, some how
Can I say no?

You can take up all my time 'cause you're the only one
That can make a storm cloud break
Pulling out the sun
And I can get caught in the rain
Can I get your lips to speak my name?

Because we only have one life
The timing in the moment
All seem so right
So would you say you're mine? (We'll be just fine)
Would you say you're mine? (We'll be just fine)

Childhood lane

I remember when I was in Prep, every Friday after class my cousin would come home with my Mom and I. We'd head straight to his room to watch Scooby- Doo. I really liked that show even though at my age then it kind of scared me some times.

I'm writing this blog post as to support a cause that is going on in Facebook. Seeing as I have no Facebook I am showing my support through Blogspot. This is to stop Child Abuse.

This is such an awesome picture.

When this day started I was kind of excited and a bit nervous. But as the day went on I was just excited. I'm glad that I enjoyed my self as much as I did last year. My favorite part of the play we did was when we danced to the song "Don't go Breaking my Heart", the version sung in The movie Ella Enchanted.

Onesentence.org: GO THERE

I found out about this site in one of my old candy magazines. It's filled with both equally sad and equally happy stories. All expressed in one sentence (sometimes two). It's true that these days we rarely have any patience for anything that is why I'm recommending this site for those impatient people. Here we can learn how to appreciate life with only a few words, a few seconds and a lot of meaningful realizations.

Samples:

Nothing good about grief Charlie Brown

I was laying next to her when she took her last breath, and now I can't seem to catch mine.

Joe Touchole

As I bent over to pick up her pen, the sound of my pants ripping warned me that my life was about to change.

Elizabeth

After reading a box of old greeting cards from my parents, I realized for the first time that the only card my Dad ever signed "Love, Dad" was the last one he ever gave me before he unexpectedly died.

The CHB Agenda

My sister and I went to this cafe last Friday. Coffee House Beanery is a cafe which you'd most likely miss but in it's own right it shouldn't be. It has reasonably affordable food that is surprisingly delicious. My recent favorite is the Big Chewy Cookie and also the Tuna, Mac and Cheese. The Cookie was of course big and chewy, it was also so soft it would make your mouth water just to think about it. The Tuna, Mac and Cheese surprisingly didn't taste like tuna at all, didn't taste like cheese either but that's a good thing because I don't usually like tuna nor cheese. My sister and I are going on mini food trips and the targets are cafes. The first was Book Latte and the second, and most recent, The Coffee House Beanery. Both have been successful trips ending with a full- or at least moderately full stomach.

While Book Latte had books to brag about. The CHB had inspiring quotes written on their mirrored walls and frames filled with the great sayings of many wise men and women. Good music, Good food, air-conditioning and a lovely scent of coffee beans wafting in the air made the cafe a good place to just chill and eat.

I wish I looked better in these pictures but my sister failed to tell me that I looked like I just passed a tornado.

Stars - Your Ex-Lover Is Dead (Lyrics)

I wanted a better music video for this song but this is the best I can do.
I like the lyrics and the story it tells. listen carefully and read the lyrics.
It tells about two individuals who meet again, being "introduced by a
friend of a friend". These two used to have a relationship and as the song
goes on you'll know how it ended. It wasn't a happy ending but it was an
okay ending. I think it's all in all bittersweet.

Immersing

The Immersion trip was okay. It was fun and tiring. I can't say that it totally changed me and made me realize something BIG but it made me realize something important nonetheless. My "Nanay" for the day was a kind mother of three lovely children. They were all good to us as all the families were. At some point I tried to play Connect Four with my little "sister", it didn't go so well. Some of the other much littler children tried to play as well, I did my best to prevent them from eating any of the pieces that might cause them indigestion and a trip to the hospital. My family there made me think of my real family. They had a simple wants and a simple lifestyle that reminded me of our own way of living. My "sister" there made me think of my much younger cousin whom I was often mean to when she was still in the Philippines.
I'm not that good with children and I often avoid situations where I might interact with them. I sometimes get worried whether they'd like me or not. So as much as possible I avoid situations where they could judge me and choose. But this recent experience of mine taught me how I was a child once and how I used to act the same way they do. It was honestly very fun to be with that young girl because it made me see how wrong I've been about them. I wish that I could be brave enough to apologize to that cousin of mine when she gets here.

My Feet... :(

Jogging-no, walking is exhausting.

BILLY JOEL - VIENNA

Billy Joel- Vienna

Slow down, you crazy child
you're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart, tell me
Why are you still so afraid?


Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You'd better cool it off before you burn it out
You've got so much to do and
Only so many hours in a day

But you know that when the truth is told..
That you can get what you want or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even
Get halfway through
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

Slow down, you're doing fine
You can't be everything you want to be
Before your time
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight
Tonight...
Too bad but it's the life you lead
you're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need
Though you can see when you're wrong, you know
You can't always see when you're right. You're right

You've got your passion, you've got your pride
but don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

Slow down, you crazy child
and take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while
it's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

And you know that when the truth is told
that you can get what you want or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through

Why don't you realize, Vienna waits for you

When will you realize, Vienna waits for you? 

All you need is love - The Beatles

Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love

There's nothing you can do that can't be done
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy

There's nothing you can make that can't be made
No one you can save that can't be saved
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time
It's easy

All you need is love
All you need is love

There's nothing you can know that isn't known
Nothing you can see that isn't shown
There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be
It's easy

Love is all you need

Movie Marathon: Halloween Issue

Last Monday my family and I watched the first five movies of the Harry Potter series and the first Lord of the Rings movie. I have to say it was tiring, who knew watching movies could get so taxing?
My favorite Harry Potter movie so far is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. My cousin and my brother think so as well. It was a really hot that afternoon and we were watching it in the Living room with only one electric fan. Our savior was some dirty ice cream (not really dirty) and some burnt popcorn. Burnt popcorn courtesy of my sister and dirty ice cream courtesy of the Ice cream man at the front of the school which is in front of our house. My comment about the Lord of the Rings movie is that it's tediously long. It's nice , the story is probably good but it's really long. I didn't notice how small hobbits were before. My brother made a rude comment about Frodo and Sam being gay, I disagreed.
Both of the two kinds of movies I watched with my cousins and my siblings had really good lessons in them. I greatly admire Harry Potter even though he is fictional. His life is bittersweet, most of the time bitter rather than sweet. I love all the lessons, quotes and special effects of Harry Potter movies. And most of all I like the fact that there's always hope for muggles and wizards and witches alike just as long there's a person brave enough to do what is right. I am not talking about the person whom you might be thinking of in relation to our country and it's problems. I hold no expectations for just one man. I am holding hope for the people in our country. That some day we will find peace. I hope that we all would realize that the darkest hour is before the dawn. that we should never give up on our country no matter how appealing the idea might be sometimes.

Family and Friends: Around the World

This Blog post is a week late.

Days before family Day (also UN day) my mom was already badgering me if I already had my costume prepared. Dutiful daughter that I am I said "Yes, of course".
Translation: "Yes, of course not yet."

My costume was simple enough it consisted of borrowed pants and some shiny blue cloth. I was an Indian, obvious enough for those who saw me. That morning I wasn't too keen on wearing make-up but then again I was ambushed. People can be very persuasive.

Family day was relatively fun. Really hot but considerably enjoyable. I didn't do much aside from eat and play Count 4s with Brenda. Count 4s is this really neat-O toy that I bought for 20 pesos.
Too bad that we didn't win in Bingo but belated congratulations to those who did.

I had a good time with my friends and my family.

Big Ben

Famous around the world for keeping impeccable time, the Big Ben Clock Tower was fully operational on September 7, 1859. The Big Ben Clock is used to ring in the London New Year and is a rallying point for the New Year"s celebration of the entire country of England. The BBC also broadcasts the chiming of the bells on Remembrance Day to mark the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month—the end of World War I. A famous symbol of Parliament and all things English throughout the world, the Big Ben Clock is visible from many locations in London and is well worth visiting.

Although most people refer to the entire tower as the Big Ben Clock Tower, the name Big Ben actually refers to the bell housed within the tower. The bell itself weighs almost 14 tons, and takes its name from the man who first ordered the bell, Sir Benjamin Hall. The four clock faces of the Big Ben in London are each 23 feet in diameter; the biggest of its kind when it was constructed. Certain pieces of the clock face of the Big Ben in London have been designed for easy removal, to allow for cleaning and maintenance of the clock hands.

The base of each of the clock face"s of the Big Ben in London bears a Latin inscription meaning, "Lord save our Queen Victoria I," as the Big Ben Clock Tower and the adjoining Westminster Palace were constructed during the Victorian age. Today, the Palace of Westminster houses British Parliament sessions, and tourists can even view a session of parliament for free. Over the years, Big Ben history has also come to include the changing of the tower itself. Due to ground conditions, the Big Ben Clock Tower now leans slightly to the Northwest, and also moves back and forth by a few millimeters each year.

Big Ben history has long recorded the clock"s remarkable reliability. The engineering of the clock is such that the actual mechanisms of the clock itself are well protected from climate changes and harsh weather. Though the clock has experienced slowing at various times through its history, the clock continued to run accurately during The Blitz of World War II.

Tourists planning to visit Big Ben National Park will enjoy visiting this visual symbol of the United Kingdom. Recent photos of the Big Ben Clock Tower often show the London Eye Millennium Wheel in the background; a nearby attraction that is also worth visiting. Big Ben has and continues to stand tall as a powerful British icon and place for celebration.

Glee - Dream a Little Dream (FULL HQ STUDIO) w/ LYRICS

Vocal Adrenaline - Bohemian Rhapsody [Glee]

I love this version. I love this song.

Please be patient with Me

I've been trying to write a story for weeks now but it's really hard if you don't have a muse.
This will be a preview. My story will revolve around this picture/ song lyric.

I want to be there but I can't go.
I want to be somewhere else but time's to slow
I am totally stressed out.

My Sister's Keeper

We watched this movie this morning. It was nice, though, I was a little disappointed with the ending and the development of some of the characters. I read this book when I was in second year, my sister's friend loaned it to her. Strange how nurses like to read medically related books. Well the book was awesome, as much as a tearjerker as the movie.
The differences are these:

1. Jesse burned buildings to the ground- he does not wallow in self pity all the time. He did drugs and drove a Jeep around. He is not dyslexic.
   
2. Anna is pretty much the same as she was in the book, but get this, she DIED.
3. Kate did not die she lived on because Ana, even though she won in court, still gave her her kidney.

To those who would like to know the original ending you could read it here.
Ana was the one who revealed why she was suing her parents in the first place. Jesse wasn't even there. After all the revealations everything was going good. Ana and her lawyer (Campbell)
left together after the hearing was done. It was raining at the time and a car hit them. Ana's father, a fireman, was at the scene. They rushed both of them to the hospital. Everyone was there. Sara, her mom, was frantic when she saw Ana's body. Campbell was okay but Ana was not, she was far from it. Ana was brain dead. Her father held her mom saying what made Ana, Ana, wasn't there anymore. So in the end Ana did give her kidney to kate, and kate survived the operation. The family wasn't okay afterwards, not because Kate died, but because Ana died. What made it worse was the fact that if kate died it would have been expected, but when Ana died, healthy Ana, it wasn't.

The movie's good even though it wasn't by the book because it's still inspireing. It still speaks of the lessons that are hard to learn but sooner or later learned anyway. Letting go isn't easy but we should think of the people who want us to let go. Even if it hurts a lot to do so we shouldn't be selfish and just think of ourselves.

Funny Guy

My cousin is back!!!

My Family ate out last night to celebrate. It suck that I wasn't there but I'm really glad that my cousin's back here. This morning we talked and it kind of reminded me of talking to a psychiatrist, though I'm not really sure who's the psychiatrist, me, or him? Well, maybe it just goes to show what I might be in the future.

Fridays and Cafes

7 days of nothing but homework and studying totally suck. As much as I like doing some of the things I do in school, as much as I know I should be really happy and appreciative of this blessings, I can't help feel a little down and defeated after every week. Try going through a week of continuous bombarding of knowledge and feel fine and dandy. A good book, food and two days of sleeping in in the morning usually cure me when it comes to these school blues. But one thing that I really love and look forward to every week or so is Friday outings. It isn't anything grand and expensive, basically it's walking a lot, looking at a lot of books and DVDs, and eating at some restaurant (KFC). This would really be boring if I just did this on my own but with my friends it's a happy joyride out of a sad and suckish day. Today we did the usual things but we learned and checked out a new hit spot. Actually two (but the other one is pretty well known all ready so it doesn't really count), the Mooon Cafe, and Book Latte Cafe. I would've really liked to check these cafes out but it was all ready dark by the time we went out. So that adventure would have to be for another day. I won't forget about it though. I love school, I really do, but if I have to be really honest it wouldn't be so great if I didn't have my friends.
GOAL: Membership at Book Latte Cafe!

Waiting Bride.

There's a bridge called "Covert's Crossing" or "Covert's Bridge" up in New Castle. A young couple had gotten married on Halloween. Around midnight, they were riding in a horse drawn carriage across the bridge at the same time a car was. The bridge was only one lane, so by the time they saw each other it was too late. Story has it that they crashed and the hubcap of the car flew off, decapitating the bride. The police never found her head or the body of the groom. Its been said that if you sit on the bridge on Halloween night around midnight, you can see the headless bride standing on some rocks in the river. However they don't know if she is looking for her head or her lost love. Submitted by Courtnie

Toy Story 3

My brother and I watched Toy Story 3 last weekend, I didn't expect the movie to be sad and in truth it really wasn't, it was just really touching. I used to have a lot of toys when i was a little girl, my cousin and I shared drawers and a large box of toys. I loved those toys a lot, we used to play with them everyday. I remember the day that signaled the end of my toy-playing days.It was when my uncle brought home a young and adorable dog. Every afternoon instead of playing with my toys I trained my new dog to sit and to do some other stuff. A couple of years later I found out that the school librarian wasn't so mean or scary after all, I started to read a lot after that. All of those thing happened When I was about 7 or 8 yrs. old. After awhile I grew up even more and I forgot where those toys went, or the fact that they were even there. I appreciated those toys very much and I understand how Andy felt at the end of the film, I wouldn't want to give my toys to anyone, I guess that shows how selfish I was and probably still am. We should learn to appreciate the things we have because they all have a purpose in our life. no matter how long or brief we may need them in the long run.

Classically Modern

I know that not all of us may love classical music or even like instrumental music. I also know a solution that will solve that problem. My cousin introduced to me this Quartet that did tributes to all the great bands of today, creating their songs into masterpieces with their violins. Please take time to listen to their work because you might not know, you'll end up loving it

Another embarrassing experience

You ever had that experience where you think of something bad happening and then you do every thing to avoid it, but even if you've secured yourself of the improbability of it happening it actually happens! (yeah... [-_-])

Every Friday however I'm always undecided because I hate going home early when it's not going to be a school night, it makes me feel like I'm throwing away an opportunity. An opportunity to have FUN.

Sooo.... I stayed later than usual at school, spending some time at the library, waiting for my friends from the homeroom club to come back from Greenwich (the pizza place), the one in Gaisano. When they did arrive however I abandoned the idea of going to Robinsons, it was pretty late by then. I decided to buy large fries from Mcdonald's for consolation instead. I boarded a jeepney and was well on way my way home. You may be wondering by now what's embarrassing in any of this, or, how could anything I've wrote so far be of any relevance to what I've said earlier. Well, here it is.

I hate dangling food while I'm in a jeepney, it makes me feel a little inconsiderate because no one else is eating anything. My bag was already bulging from all the things I've stuffed in it but I'd rather carry books than food. I, along with some friends, was ambushed once by a group of street children. It was a traumatic experience. Not Really.
I took out the book I was reading for my English book report, interesting book though I'm not halfway done with it. With the available space I stuffed my fries. So far so good, I kept the book in my sight and in my reach. When I was out f the jeepney, and when it was already driving away, I realized something so very horrible. I did NOT know where my book was. I panicked and I had to stop the jeepney. De ja vu, much. I had to ask over and over again if the book was anywhere in the spot I seated. They said "No it's not here" (in Ilonggo), and I said, "are you sure? Can you look again?" and finally I said Okay because they were so ure it wasn't there anymore. Thats was a mortifying time for me and even more motifying when i found out my book was in my hand the WHOLE time.

Lesson Learned:
Always check your hands when in search for a missing object before alerting other people.

Perfect Two

This is a very cute and simple video...

A Puppeteer. Spelled it puppetier the first time.

Last Thursday we watched a puppet show. I was seated in the very far back. It made me a little dizzy to be there because it made it hard to see the faces of the puppets very clearly. It was in Filipino and the puppeteers were all from Manila. It was interesting and amusing, the puppets and also the grade schoolers who were also there with us. It was interesting because I 've never been to a puppet show before, I've seen T.V. shows like Elmo that have puppets but never a live puppet show. It was amusing and nostalgic because of the little kids who laughed and leaned forward every time the curtains opened. I remember being as enthusiastic as they were when I was little, when every thing seemed fascinating and magical. I suppose that's how you'd describe puppet shows when you're a child, and maybe, even when you're an adult. Things are moving, even bodies, you don't know how or why but they are. Dancing, singing and talking as if they're really alive. What you don't know however is that they're controlled by strings, small and transparent, hard to see if you were in my seat but definitely there. It scares some people, these puppet shows I don't know why exactly but maybe it's because it reflects what we might be if we aren't careful, if we don't live. Controlled by strings we can't see, moving in the commands that are not our own. It's a sad reality to say that they're a lot of people who live exactly in this way. But then again if you look closely at these inanimate objects these puppeteers use you'd be impressed on how they're able to make them so lifelike. It must have been their passion that had made them live. So puppet shows are magical because it takes a certain person to give life to something that doesn't live. It takes more than just a voice to make it seem as if it were not your own but of somebody else's.

So cheers to these Fellows who put on a great show,

for the young and the old...

so the magic can unfold.

Sonnet no. 10: Hate

Original Text

For shame deny that thou bear’st love to any,

Who for thyself art so unprovident.

Grant if thou wilt, thou art belov’d of many,

But that thou none lov’st is most evident;

For thou art so possessed with murd'rous hate

That ‘gainst thyself thou stick’st not to conspire,

Seeking that beauteous roof to ruinate

Which to repair should be thy chief desire.

O change thy thought, that I may change my mind.

Shall hate be fairer lodged than gentle love?

Be as thy presence is, gracious and kind,

Or to thyself at least kind-hearted prove.

Make thee another self for love of me,

That beauty still may live in thine or thee.

Modern Text

If you have any sense of shame, admit that you don’t have any love in your heart for anyone, since you’re so unwilling to care about yourself. I’ll admit, if you like, that many people love you, but it’s also obvious that you love no one. For you are so possessed with murderous hatred that you have no problem plotting against yourself, seeking to destroy the house that you should want to repair. Oh, change your way of thinking, so I can change my mind about you. Should hate have a more beautiful home than love? Be gracious and kind, like your appearance—or at least be kind-hearted to yourself. Have a child out of love for me, so your beauty will live on in your children, if not in you.

Where I'm going

For some time I've never really been sure of what I want to do or where I want to go in the future when I finally have the chance. It's always about here and now that sometimes it's easy to forget there's a later. Sure, I've always got an answer to questions like "what's your dream?" or "What do you want to do?" Sometimes I'd say that I'd want to be a host of a show, a show that takes me all over the world, or maybe even a writer with bestseller books. If you ask me seriously I'd even say that I'd want want to be a psychologist just to give you an answer. But all these things are just that, things that I think I want but am not really sure if I want to have, they're just answers. I want to be more, but more of what you ask? I'm not really sure. I just want to be more. I guess I like winning stuff, I like doing things I'm good at, I like laughing with my friends and I like being with my family and having a good time with them. With all I have it seems selfish to ask for more. The concert of Alvin Barcelona's Himaya band made me realize that it's okay for me to dream big dreams. To get lost for a while trying to figure out where you're going because at least you've got somewhere to go to. I'm an easily pursuaded person, a girl who's made more mistakes than she can keep count of, but I'm also girl who doesn't regret ever making any one of those mistakes because each of them led me here. Making them I laughed, I also cried, most of them made me trip and fall of my face, and some left me feeling as happy as a suicidal emo. The point I'm making is that as many, or as few, as these moments were to me they didn't mean that I'll never be happy again. Just because I don't know where I'm going doesn't mean I'll give up trying to figure it out. :)

An Oxymoron Poem

One fine day in the middle of the night,

Two dead boys got up to fight,

Back to back they faced each other,

Drew their swords and shot each other,

One was blind and the other couldn't see,

So they chose a dummy for a referee.

A blind man went to see fair play,

A dumb man went to shout "hooray!"

A paralysed donkey passing by,

Kicked the blind man in the eye,

Knocked him through a nine inch wall,

Into a dry ditch and drowned them all,

A deaf policeman heard the noise,

And came to arrest the two dead boys,

If you don't believe this story’s true,

Ask the blind man; he saw it too!

It's a Saturday Night

I watched The Sorcerer's apprentice with my brother and my sister at SM city. I love the movie, my favorite scene is when Dave listened to One Republic's song, secrets, and did that thing with the blue plasma bolts. The lead actor, Jay Baruchel, who plays Dave, is the voice of Astrid in "How to train a Dragon". It's a really nice movie and I'm glad we watched. It was really cold when we were riding the jeepney to get home. It rained, it's still raining. Life's Good.

The Blue Handprint

The last two weeks have been the busiest and and the last few days have been the craziest. I have a lot to catch up on two of them is the mural painting activity and the most recent Taize prayer vigil.

When you're in the parking lot near St. Anne's Hall you can see a long stretch of wall. This wall separates Assumption from St. Paul's Hospital. 7 years ago the teachers of Assumption Iloilo proposed a solution to the vandalism issue that was present in the chairs and walls of classrooms. Thus the first mural painting contest of assumption Iloilo was birthed. It was a class project where the class artists and the students were to paint a mural that expressed the theme that was being asked in just one look. 7 years later, in the same year Assumption will celebrate it's centennial celebration, students will be again asked to paint.

I like painting, there's something very...fullfiling? I don't know how to describe it exactly but there's just something very appealing in the feel of paint staining your hands, some satisfaction in seeing you clothes having accidental stains and colorful brushes of pastel colors (even if you know you have to use paint thinner to get them off). You sometimes don't expect what you'd get after mixing colors and spreading them in, sometimes, uneven brush strokes. when I paint, and probably when everyone else is painting, it feels special because I'm making something using my own two hands. I didn't do much other than help out with the painting but I'm really happy that I took part in painting that mural as a whole because while I was painting with my fellow painters we had a lot of laughs and I had a lot of fun even though it resulted me to going home late, having paint on my shirt and sacrificing a weekend.

Jack's Mannequin-Swim (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

You gotta swim,
Swim for your life,
Swim for the music,
That saves you,
When you're not so sure you'll survive,
You gotta swim,
And swim when it hurts,
The whole world is watching,
You haven't come this far,
To fall off the earth,

The currents will pull you,
Away from your love,
Just keep your head above,

I found a tidal wave,
Begging to tear down the dawn,
Memories like bullets,
They fired at me from a gun,
Cracking the armor yeah,
I swim for brighter days,
Despite the absence of sun,
Choking on salt water,
I'm not giving in,
Swim,

You gotta swim,
For nights that won't end,
Swim for your families,
Your lovers your sisters,
And brothers and friends,
Yeah, you gotta swim,
For wars without cause,
Swim for the lost politicians,
Who don't see their greed as a flaw,

The currents will pull us,
Away from our love,
Just keep your head above,

I found a tidal wave,
Begging to tear down the dawn,
Memories like bullets,
They fired at me from a gun,
Cracking the armor yeah,
I swim for brighter days,
Despite the absence of sun,
Choking on salt water,
I'm not giving in,
Well I'm not giving in,
Swim

You gotta swim,
Swim in the dark,
There's no shame in drifting,
Feel the tide shifting and wait for the spark,
Yeah you gotta swim,
Don't let yourself sink,
Just find the horizon,
I promise you it's not as far as you think,
The currents will drag us away from our love,

Just keep your head above,
Just keep your head above,
Swim,
Just keep your head above,
Swim,
Swim,
Just keep your head above,
Swim.

My Muse

I like a lot of bands. Some of them you may know, some you haven't even heard of. There are different genres in music and sometimes two or more is suited to your personality, that is why you like more songs in this genre than in that other genre. Sometimes my tastes is music is boring, or at least that's what my friend says, but I don't mind.

A band that I've known since I was in 5th grade but only recently remembered is Jack's Mannequin. Almost all of their songs makes use of the piano and contains a short piano solo.

Songs that I love by J.M.

1. Swim
2. Dark Blue
3. The Mixed Tape
4. We Were Made for Each Other
5. Kill the Messenger

Another band I know is Dashboard Confessional. The name Dashboard Confessional comes from the song The Sharp Hint of New Tears. The line "On the way home, this car hears my confessions," brought to mind the phrase "Dashboard Confessional." This is mostly about easy listening and hearing the lyrics which are actually pretty good. Emo songs. I'm not emo.

Songs by D.C.

1. Stolen
2. Dusk and Summer
3. Belle of the Boulevard
4. Vindicated
5. So Long Sweet Summer

-May be boring to some people.

Random Songs that I'll always love:

1. She will be Loved- Maroon 5
2. She's got you High- Mummrha (?)
3. Face Down- Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
4. Stolen- Dashboard Confessional
5. You Could Be Happy- Snow Patrol
6. Promise the Stars- We the Kings
7. Mr. Brightside- The Killers
8. Gravity, Why Georgia- John Mayer
9. Forever and Always, You Belong with Me- Taylor Swift
10. Where's the Love- Black Eyed Peas
11. Stay here Forever- Jewel
12. Yellow, the Scientist - Coldplay
13. Dream a Little Dream of Me- Glee
14. Gotta Go My Own Way- HSM2 (Vanessa Hudgens)

The thing is that probably more than half of the songs I've posted here would be considered boring or unremarkable by most of you if you ever listen to any of them. But that doesn't bother me because these songs, ever time I hear them they make me remember a moment in my life, where the memory is so strong that it's like I'm experiencing that moment one more time. The song Gravity reminds me of the time I went to Bacolod with my family to visit a wedding. Stay Here Forever reminds me of the time I was listening to it on the way home from Ajuy where i was at the window seat looking at the sea. She's Got You High makes me imagine the movie 500 Days of Summer because that was where I'd first heard it.

Quote of the Post:

There are happy songs, there are songs for tragedy and there are songs for life, but the best songs are the songs that have the power to take us back to the first time we heard them.
