see ME date

there are more pressing concerns than depleting the world of the color Precious Pink.


in my case, it's Royal Blue.

Just when you think 
You've got me figured out
The season's already changing

cool lolo

walking along the PhilAm building wearing shades, carrying a backpack and his iPod playing to some tune or another.  

sporadic badminton lessons when i was still a newbie.

the angel that always had good news. 

he always had a smile ready for us and i never got to say goodbye.

i thought last friday was as normal a day for both of us as any.  i didn't know it would be the last conversation we would have. i didn't even know that his birthday was coming up.

 my last words were "thank you, kuya, anghel ka talaga." and i mean it now. i am lucky to have known you.

and i will never get to ask you how you got your nickname... 
ang layo naman ng jeric sa norberto. 

you will be missed, kuya jeric. my prayers are with you. happy birthday.


Song of the Day: Blowin' in the Wind
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
How many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
How many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?

knee-jerk reaction

having someone say "you're pretty" to my face always makes me feel uncomfortable.

especially if it's said by someone i used to like... or maybe i still like him.
so i reacted like any girl would. i aimed carefully and whacked the arm.

that whack was worth a million words, the loudest of all being: if only you hadn't been such a jerk.


Song of the Day: In Demand (by Texas)
You never saw the best of me
There's a side you'll never know
Cause love and loving are two different things
You set your sights far too low

things we love

1. friendships that allow you to think alike even when you're miles apart... or haven't talked in ages
2. chocolate cheerios in bed
3. series marathons
4. hugs
5. toddler nephews singing the alphabet song for the first time


these things keep me in check and prevent me from being the bitter person i almost am.

Song of the Day: Stop & Stare (by One Republic)
Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be 
Oh, do you see what I see

blue skies

it rains because sometimes, the sky just needs to let it all out.


i think i may unleash a storm soon.




Song of the Day: Nothing At All (by Madi Diaz)
I got one foot in front of the other
All I know is what I know
And the one thing left that keeps me together
Will get me over or won't change nothing at all
