A quick post before plunging head first in Friday's work load

It's weird how this perky song was making me cry at this ungodly hour of Friday.
(I was listening to it on my phone, so there's no girl in bikini on my drama scene.)

It's been my habit to listen to this song whenever I'm down or if I've been listening to scary stories. It never fails to lift me up and make me braver, like an embrace from an old friend which assures you that everything would be alright. 


And now, it's bringing me to tears because it's saying what I can't seem to find words for.

So I'll borrow the lyrics,
And now we're slightly weathered, we're slightly worn
Our hands grip together, eye to eye through the storm, yet
I still believe in ever after with you, yeahhhhh
'cause life is a pleasure with you by my side,
And there ain't no current in this river we can't ride
I still believe in ever after with you.

Heard that, Stardust?
You're still my ever after so no, there's no way I'm leaving your side. /cheese

Uber Delayed Rant on Hunger Games and Magnum

I've been meaning to put an entry about the irritating SNS wave of Magnum and how I think Hunger Games was so overrated but I changed my mind since even posting about these two has become annoying.

But for the record (haha, I'm still posting after all!), Magnum's OK. I like the almond better than the Truffle but I still like Selecta's Caramel Cheesecake best. :p

Hunger Games was also OK. The pacing's fast but the story and characters are half baked, the ending was also predictable. (Or maybe because Flip bombed me with spoilers!)

I've been eyeing the book ever since I've heard that an adaptation's coming but after reading the summary on Google, I changed my mind. I bought a copy after the movie went out (to join the craze!) but after reading it, I felt that I should have just downloaded an epub or pdf and bought American Gods instead. My gut instinct was right. Haha! The rest of the trilogy would definitely come from Pirate Bay. :p

And oh, just a thought. I remember Ron Padilla, one of my 24/7 peeps, saying that Harry Potter's legend was due to a very effective marketing strategy. Of course I said his idea was 'Riddikulus' but I did remember him after watching the movie. Hunger Games is a perfect example of what he's accusing Harry Potter to be: mass craze via marketing strategy.

And so is Magnum. :)

*Beanskie, I can imagine us exchanging opinions about these two while waiting for the PVP bus at The Columns. Missing the good 'ol days! :(

Bite Me

When Papa passed away and Mama was crying her heart inside out, I wanted to play the strong daughter so I said, "Ma, andito pa naman kami eh." to console her.

When my brother left for his apprenticeship on a shipping vessel hours before his birthday, Mama was left crying again like there's no tomorrow. I wanted to make it easier for her this time so I teased her about the tears which pissed her off and made her stop.

But now that's Arvin's about to leave for overseas work, still without any definite date or time when he would be away, just thinking about it makes me feel like a headless chicken.

There's only one thing I know, the world pressed the Pause button.Everything I've known, I've done, I've planned were put on hold so I could digest the news of him being away. Just the thought of him not by my side made me drop everything like a hot potato.

So bite me, Work. Maybe your sting would make me I understand why the only thing which remained constant for more than a decade should change.

What A Very Interesting Topic

"Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me and ME!" she says.

OK, I get it. You love yourself and you don't want to acknowledge any word I say.

Can we move on to something more interesting now or should I just talk to our bird to get a more interesting conversation?

What a bummer first post for '12.

I think I understand why wives nag when their husbands go on drinking a binge with friends. It's not the drinking that upsets them, it's the fact that the husband can choose between wife and bed or friends and bottles, and the husband chooses the latter.

Gentlemen, do yourselves a favor and decline a night out just once. You'll be rewarded with a night of no drama, trust me.

20-20

Do your glances shy my way? Maybe

a peek,

a stolen stare,

an unsaid message sent through those warm chocolate

eyes, do they burn?

As they trace my mouth's curves and lines,

seeing closely if they're bent towards the sky.

Does your vision pause

for a lingering second,

for a fleeting while,

amidst the heavy smoke and bottled laughter,

to stare and wonder how

luck, can bring such fortune by your side?

Do your glances shy my way? Maybe.

For I want to know if

your eyes suffer,

the same clumsy sickness as mine.

It's almost 8AM but the sky looks like it's only 6AM. Maybe it's the weather or maybe I've seen too much K/Jdramas recently that I wanted to try writing a poem again. It's been a while since I last tried writing one. The idea on'20-20' was actually from a long standing question I have regarding some cheesy stuff that you probably would rather not know and I would rather not tell. xD

What I Want To Do

... is watch anime.

I miss watching slice-of-life type of anime like Nodame Cantabile and Honey and Clover. All that has been coming out lately are more of the shounen type, which I hate. Ew. I've had enough of Bleach, Naruto and One Piece. The last shounen series that I've tried watching was Durara. It does deserve to be the Anime of 2010 by the website Metanorn but I dropped it after watching a couple of episodes. Ugh, I guess I'm getting too old for their type.

I've been on the very early morning shift (3:00AM) recently and I got some time to browse. I find myself browsing for Noda Megumi and Hagu. I really miss watching well built characters. T_T
