Random Thoughts

Thursday, July 23, 2009

1. I'm craving for Pocky Crush - a recent discovery from our HK trip. Shucks, I should've bought more. I bought 4 boxes only. Yum yum.

2. Kobe is in Manila. Astig! I saw him on TV Patrol last night. I wish I was at his workshop also. That Salva (or was it Silva?) Ateneo player guy was lucky ah. Hmmm...if I were a guy, I would've bought all of Kobe's shirts! Coolness.

3. Finally! A win for La Salle. Whether it's over Ateneo or UP, a win is still a win. ;)

4. I felt bad for saying NO. I wanted to help but sometimes, I just have to draw the line. I can't keep on helping others if I don't help myself first. My boss had my back on this one. This one's a long story.

5. Supalpal na naman ako kanina. Poor management skills talaga. I was so biting my tongue not to make laglag the other person. So conyo ba? Lol. This one's another long story. Buti nalang work is just work.

6. Will our trip to Guam two weeks from now push through? Do I still have enough leaves? Haha kebs!

7. I'm super looking forward to watching New Moon! Can't wait, can't wait.

8. I'm also looking forward to watching G.I. Joe and Iron Man 2. HP sucks. Haha, not that I watched it already. I have no plans whatsoever. I want to watch The Proposal also. I want to watch a feel good movie. Now na.

9. Okay fine, jologs na ako but The Wedding on Channel 2 is kinda cute and interesting. Derek is really cute. Zanjoe grows on you. Try watching!

10. My cousin's wedding pictures are really beautiful, the nicest so far. Their video was not bad also. Galing. No need for Jason Magbanua na pala eh. In fairness to my cousin and his wifey, they're both photogenic and they're both good at projecting. Wow model! Hehe.

11. Friday na tomorrow. Yey! All together now, T...G...I...F!

12. Out of sight and/or touch = Out of mind. I'm already starting to forget - including how it feels like. It's lesser of everything now.

21 Guns

Tuesday, July 21, 2009

Do you know what's worth fighting for

When it's not worth dying for?

Does it take your breath away

And you feel yourself suffocating?

Does the pain weigh out the pride

And you look for a place to hide?

Did someone break your heart inside?

You're in ruins

One, 21 guns

Lay down your arms

Give up the fight

One, 21 guns

Throw up your arms into the sky,

You and I

When you're at the end of the road

And you lost all sense of control

And your thoughts have taken their toll

When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul

Your faith walks on broken glass

And the hangover doesn't pass

Nothing's ever built to last

You're in ruins

One, 21 guns

Lay down your arms

Give up the fight

One, 21 guns

Throw up your arms into the sky,

You and I

Did you try to live on your own

When you burned down the house and home?

Did you stand too close to the fire

Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone?

When it's time to live and let die

And you can't get another try

Something inside this heart has died

You're in ruins

One, 21 guns

Lay down your arms

Give up the fight

One, 21 guns

Throw up your arms into the sky

One, 21 guns

Lay down your arms

Give up the fight

One, 21 guns

Throw up your arms into the sky,

You and I

UP!

Saturday, July 18, 2009

When you hit rock bottom, there's nowhere else to go but UP. Positive vibes lang. Filter the negative noises. I'm already feeling better days ahead. Steady, steady, steady...

Baby Steps

Thursday, July 16, 2009

I'm already getting better at this everyday - slowly but surely.

Dad

I'm thankful for my dad. I'm a lot more like him.

UAAP Season 72

Sunday, July 12, 2009

It's that time of the month again. UAAP season na naman! There's at least something to look forward to in the next couple of months. I'm definitely going to stay tuned to the games despite La Salle's rookie laden team. Anything goes with college basketball naman so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that La Salle's going to make it to final four at the very least. Although I have graduated for 4 years already, I still enjoy college basketball. Nothing beats cheering for school pride. I love the hype and excitement. I love the sort of festive atmosphere. Win or lose, animo La Salle all the way! 

HSH

It feels so good to be back in Manila. There's no place like home. I miss my bed!

NO to Violence

Tuesday, July 07, 2009

People, supposedly adults already, who resort to physical violence have really serious issues - anger management, psychological issues, psychiatric even. I believe they have to seek help ASAP before they start spiraling out of control and end up losing it all together. These people are ticking time bombs waiting to explode and self-destruct. Read: SELF-DESTRUCT. I don't want to be anywhere near them when it happens. How can you even stop them when they've already lost all logic, reason and sanity? Physical violence in any form should not be tolerated. Tolerating it will not do any good to the person. If any, it only encourages the person to continue his/her self-destructive ways. I tell you it'll only do more harm. Avoiding the problem will not solve anything at all, it'll only make it worst. Nakakahiya man aminin pero kung iyon naman ang totoong nangyari, why twist the story? Why do I have to cover for someone else's wrong doings? I cannot for the life of me understand how some people would want to physically hurt another person. Having just the intention to physically hurt another is so inhumane. Serious schizo tendencies dude. It really scares the hell out of me. I've never ever felt like wanting to inflict physical pain towards another person no matter how angry or frustrated I am, not even if I am the aggrieved party, not even in the worst case of scenarios. Except for self defense, there is absolutely no excuse and reason for inflicting physical pain towards another person. It is by all means unacceptable, whichever side pa man you look at. How can you possibly justify physical violence? The answer is simple. You can't. Most importantly, you don't.

P.S. We all have our crosses to carry. If you're miserable, deal with it. Please leave me out of your misery.

P.P.S. Ang magalit, pikon! Ang pikon laging talo. Bleh! :P

Love Shots

Monday, July 06, 2009

I would like to share an email I received from someone I previously worked with...

The hardest part in life is not by loving, but by forgetting the one you learned to love.

Isn't love just like shooting stars?

Love, like shooting stars, so beautiful and special. Rarely does it come; in fact, some people, if they see one at all, see it only once in a lifetime. Because once is actually more than enough. The beauty and the thrill, the happiness, last a lifetime. Just like shooting stars, it happens too when you least expect it. Often, at the corner of your eye, and it never happens at that point in the sky where you are staring. You have to be quick enough to catch it because they move so fast.

So don't look in one spot too long...open your eyes. Because when you finally decide to take your eye out of that one spot, it might be too late.

Lastly, both love and shooting stars take time. Love is patient (Corinthians 13:13). You don't see shooting stars at once. Most of the time, you have to be looking up the sky quite a long time before you actually see one. BEFORE THE RIGHT ONE COMES ALONG. Because of the millions of stars, a few shoot. And, sometimes, yeah, it IS enough to stare up the sky and see the little diamonds...but shooting stars really take the cake.

"Love has its time, season and own reasons. You can't ask it to stay, you can only embrace it as it comes, and be glad that, FOR A MOMENT in your life...it was yours."

"Love, no matter how hard you try to find it, you won't see it. No matter how hard you try, you won't get it. But when you are about to give up, it comes."

Soon we will all find our shooting stars. Isn't it sad how some people's grip on their lives is so precarious that they'll embrace any preposterous delusion rather than face an occasional bleak truth?

Ouch....

Sigh will I still get to find my shooting star? I seem to always strike out when it comes to love. Haaay I gotta be patient. I still believe my turn will come - in God's time...right place, right time AND most importantly, the right guy for me.

It's Over

Sunday, July 05, 2009

That sure was one hell of a wake up call. Yikes. I was super turned off - that's even an understatement. I'm speechless. It hurt more than anything else. I guess this is exactly what I have been waiting for. Fullproof reason - backed by logic and common sense. How much more crap do I have to endure to say 'enough is enough'? I deserve so much better. When do I say it's over? You leave me with nothing to hold on to anymore. Pack up na. It's time to move on. There's no turning back now. You've lost me already and this time it's for real. I hope you're happy now.

'09 Halftime

Wednesday, July 01, 2009

Whoa the 1st half of 2009 is officially over. Read: O-V-E-R. Whatta year it has been so far. Life threw tons of curve balls my way. Needless to say, 1st half was really tough on me. It didn't go as I wished it would or as I hoped. The only up side now is there's still the 2nd half to look forward to. Therefore, I resolve to forgive and forget about the 1st half and its entirety. Poof! Erase, erase, erase. Pretty much like my laptop, I gotta start defragmenting and emptying the recycle bin. I'm not going to look back anymore. There's nothing much I can do now. It's all in the past. I can only move forward and make the most out of what's left. I'm not really expecting for a fancy or hip and happening 2nd half. All I want is a steady 2nd half. Nothing more, nothing less. I want to be positive and hopeful going into the 2nd half. I'm not going to cry over spilled milk anymore. I don't want to think too much. I don't want to worry too much about the future. I don't want to dwell on the should have, could have and might have been's of the 1st half. So with that said, let's get ready to rumble este let's get the ball rolling. It's game on!
