Year End Gimik

Whew! It's already 4:59 early morning and I just got home from my gimik with my high school barkada.

We had a little reunion at Langga's place then we head off to The Venue to check on the Ateneo Alumni Homecoming. There was nothing interesting there so we hopped to Liquid, the new hip bar in Apo View Hotel where we met with Otep and Vincent, my officemate who came from Cagayan to see Davao. Oh yeah, I really enjoyed the night because there were lots of interesting people there! I had fun dancing with the music while trying to drink my San Mig Light ( they don't have my new fave Vodka Ice ). I've met some new friends and I saw my old friends back in high school and college which made the cigarette smoke bearable. More than the dancing and the drinking, I love just sitting there in one corner watching the people from my past cramped in that one small place, dancing and walking and talking.. etc... well I just really love meeting people from the past.

I also saw someone who's soooo cuuuutteeee!!! gosh!!! I think he was my crush way back when I was still in grade six and he's already in 3rd year high school then. I forgot his first name but I'm pretty sure his last name is Tan. He still looked good in his chinito eyes, pink lips and his trademark smile. I noticed he tried to approach my corner but I'm just not sure if he's interested with me or one of my friends. But one time he was so near already and he smiled, I don't know what got into me but I just gave him a small smile and turned away. STUPID ME!!

Well, I just realized I may give some people an impression that I'm a bit flirt and cool, but actually I turn into a hermit crab when faced with someone I'm really interested with. I'm so regretful why I didn't do anything. Oh well, the only thing I can do now is bang my head on the wall for I may never have another chance to see him again. I just don't like the idea of meeting guys at the bar, it's too risky and shallow.

I'm so sleepy na! itutulog ko na lang ito. =)

I was Swept Away

I was browsing through Julius' large collection of mp3 when I came across this song by Christopher Cross. It is entitled "Swept Away", truly I was swept away by the song. The melody and the lyrics are just so beautiful... it has been in my playlist since Monday and it's playing non stop. It has officially landed on the list of my all-time favorite song... it sits right next to Waiting In Vain. =)

The lyrics is familiar though, but until now I still can't remember where, when or how... well maybe I was swept away in my past life and maybe it's true that the heart remembers what the mind forgets.. hehehe =)

Love at first sight, butterflies in the stomach, fireworks and whirlwind romance.. ah! the things that make up what they call the MAGIC of love which makes jumping on the loveboat more exciting than bunjee jumping.

I never believed in these things, or to rephrase it, I chose not to believe on these things... but I know they exist. They may call it MAGIC but the mark it will leave in your life, once it is over is so real. The MAGIC becomes a beautiful phantom that will continue to haunt you.

That's why I just content myself on listening to its song because it is safer to be spellbound by a song that you know when it ends.

But well, one hard part of that magic is you'll never know if it's around the bend. ;)

Swept Away by Christopher Cross

I never had anything happen so fast

I took one look and I shattered like glass
I guess I let it show
'cause your smile told me you knew
That you're everything I ever wanted at once
There's no holding this heart when it knows what it wants
And I never wanted anything more than to know you

I was swept away
No one in the world but you and I
Gotta find a way to make you feel the way that I do
I was swept awayWithout a warning
Like night when the morning begins the day
I was swept away

And so it begins
This journey of love
The summer wind carries us to places all our own
The words of a look
The language of touch
The way that you want me means so much
And I never wanted anything more than to love you

Seeing my tomorrows in your eyes
I was swept away

I hope I wake up soon
I'm a victim of that crazy moon

The very first time you said my name
I knew it would never sound the same
Something about me is changed forever

Hearts Along The Shore

"Sabi nila, ang mga buhangin sa may dalampasigan ay ang mga milyon-milyong pusong dinurog ng kabiguan, isinabog, ikinalat upang maging isang testamento ng kadikilaan ng sawing pag-ibig. Kaya pala masakit maglakad sa may dalampasigan kapag heartbroken ka dahil tinatapakan mo ang iyong kadudurog pa lang na puso. Kaya pala di makarekober ang karamihan sa amin dahil araw-araw may isang tumatapak sa aming mga puso. Malamang ito na ang aming sumpa, isang penetensiya sa mga taong laging sawi sa pag-ibig."

When I read this article, I began to understand why I find the seashore the best place to pour my heart out. Pag nasa Davao ako at ndi ginagamit yung bike, dumidiretso agad ako sa beach na malapit sa amin para "magpahangin". I first got dead drunk along the seashore of Malapascua, where I cried so hard and spilled to my friends all the burdens I have been carrying during that time when I made one of the toughest decision of my life.

Kasi feeling ko pag nasa dalampasigan ako, may nakikinig at nakakaintindi sa akin kahit na wala akong kasama. Masarap umiyak sa may dalampasigan kasi ndi ko nakikita ang mga patak ng luha ko dahil tinutuyo agad sila ng malakas na hangin. Kung hindi man ay nawawala agad sila sa buhangin. Parang may tumatahan sa akin at nagsasabing, "hindi ka nag iisa".

Mahirap mag isa..malungkot, nakakatakot at nakakapagod din. Indeed, being alone is not for the weak of heart because you can see a lot of reasons to give up. Pero hinding-hindi ako magpapatalo, maaring isa na sa mga buhangin ang puso ko pero hindi naman dito nagtatapos ang lahat. Hindi lang naman buhangin ang makikita sa dalampasigan. Kung titingala ka, may mga ibong naglalaro sa langit, lulubog man ang araw, iiwanan ka naman niya ng buwan at mga nag niningningang bituin.

Then there's the sea that stretches off endlessly... and so are the possibilities ahead of me. :)
