Dead ends

There are some roads you wish you have chosen to pursue.
But sometimes the choice isnt entirely yours to make.
These are the instances that can often leave you hanging,
hung up on the past.

Which I was. Until I met him again.
Quite happy with the road he has chosen.
And I realized that I was also happy with mine.

When I wake up each morning trying to find myself
And if I’m ever the least unsure
I always remind myself
Though your someone in this world that I’ll always choose to love
From now on you’re only someone that I used to love
As for me it’s getting down to the last unspoken part
When you must begin to ease the pain of a broken heart
Tell me why should I even care if I have to lose your love
From now on you’re only someone that I used to love

And if ever our paths should cross again
Well, you won’t find me being the one to get lost again
Once I had so much to give but you just refused my love
From now on you’re only someone that I used to love

A thousand miles

(that song just stuck since I watched white chicks)

My friends and I went on another videoke night last weekend ( I was just so swamped and lazy that it took me this long to write about it). It was fun! We took turns picking out themesongs for each other (our lives are grand musical productions).

Ehem, mine was "I need to be in love" by the Carpenters. And it was only then that I truly appreciated the lyrics of the song "next in line"... What has life to offer me
When i grow old, What's there to look forward to beyond the biting cold...What's there beyond sleep, eat, work in this cruel life.

Then we reminisced about high school, and the songs popular back then... yup, including spice girls songs! nyahaha! It was so fun. And of course, being the competitive people that we were, we just had to invent a contest. Haha, it was hilarious!

We had categories... songs w/ love on the title, OPM originals, classic-songs-from-your-grandparents-era, Diva songs (Celine Dion, Whitney, Mariah, etc), Theme songs from cartoons, and Christmas songs. The 2 w/ the lowest scores pays for the coffee.

Need you ask? I was poorer by a couple of hundred bucks. hehe. But it was fun. By the time we finished, we were all hoarse and crying with laughter. We had so much fun insulting each other.

The thing that bonds Filipinos? Food and Song. And there were plenty of those to raise up anyone's spirit!

dont drink and drive

My family has more fun than I do. They know all the happening places and boy, my idea of a good time pales in comparison to theirs!

They rented out part of a bar in timog and we had a blast! With free flowing beer and 8 bottles of tequile, you can bet it was fun! Man, they were the ones initiating the dancing for goodness sake! But they sure showed me how to party! hehe! I was the one concerned about drinking and driving! They were laughing and singing and poking fun at everything and anyone! You can really see that they were having fun!

Downing down bottles of beer and gulping down shots of tequila can really change your point of view. Literally! I was walking without slouching without any effort at all! It was more effective than all those physical therapy sessions I had!

Someone commented on the radio that it must take intelligence to be miserable. The proof? just look at how happy simple fools are. I concur with this idea! If alcohol kills brain cells...

Well, I was certainly happy that morning when I slept. I dreamt that Alonso the f1 driver was here and I got the chance to get his picture and schumi got piqued because I ignored him and demanded I have a picture taken with him too! And then, Alonso became curious and decided that he wants to spend his vacation with me... it was during this time that he promptly takes the features of Button (hehe). The whole team was already looking for him and his trainor sounded like he was crying on the phone because he needs to get back to his routine. nyahaha! That was one fun dream.

I was tipsy okay...

Chickens and crossings ver 2.0

Im a pretty straightforward person... sometimes.

I was bloody serious for example, when I said that I am that chicken too chicken to cross the darned road.

Now, my life, which for some reason exists only in a dream plane, is in a crux. I really was deathly afraid of committing to someone. I think the thing that threw my friend into a loop was the fact that I havent even seen the person.

Okay, i do sound loopy. But hey, i figure thats part of my charm. Its one of the things I have decided to be and Im sticking to it.

But I digress. In my convulted world, my logic is perfect and seamless. Let me try and explain it to you. If you like a person even before you meet him/her, then just imagine what a wreck you'll be when you actually meet that person. Okay there is a chance that you'll fall out of it, but come on, realistically, if you are already psyched up about that person, unless they reveal something horrible like for example, they murdered someone or they voted for a certain actor in the last elections, the chances of you not liking that person would be slim.

Meeting that person is almost tantamount to committing to that person. Its sad i guess, but Im thinking, what if you fall for the person and that person doesnt? And really, a girl's options are limited in those scenarios. At least, not knowing what the person looks like gives you the liberty to be sarcastic and imagine all sorts of disgusting stuff that will make you like him less.

Relationships are often a hit and miss affair. I guess Im just too chicken to bet. Hopefully, I can get an insurance plan first.

singing while cruising with the top down

Well, I keep wishing that i had a convertible anyway.

It was a very fun weekend for me. I havent gone out in a long time and tame it might be, I was quite happy to just hang around with friends.

Walking my way downtown...

It was fun. I really appreciated the chance to relax, unwind and recharge.
