Dearly beloved, we gather here
to say our goodbyes

Here she lies
No one knew her worth
The late great daughter of Mother Earth

Not everyone is as fortunate as most of us. All we can wish for is that their suffering may lessen, or that the end of their suffering be hastened.
 

 It's been almost 20 days since my last (and somewhat useless) post here in Taiwan. And I should say, it was one heck of a vacation. Did tons of things that I've never done before (visit theme parks and stuff OUTSIDE the usual Taipei/Taichung/Kaohsiung are), things I've done before (overnight at Inah's, TGIFridays, SOGO and Mitsukoshi) , and didn't ( Read more... )

Okay. Stolen from the above mentioned person. Need something to kill time while waiting for my torrent (PERSEPOLIS THE MOVIE YO!) to finish and while killing mosquito(e)s.

Put your MP3 player on shuffle and post the first lines of the first twenty songs.

You tell me you're in love with me
In a perfect world
I never thought I would find myself
Blue skies

In a few hours, I'll be boarding a plane bound to Taipei. I mean, wow. I'm gonna fly again? The last one's still fresh in my memories. And yet, here we are again, only this time I'm with family (and not with stoneface Inah).

Haay. Nervous and excited. Gah.

Anyway, We had our Naomi and Luis Pseudo Birthday party with my old barkada from grade school. ( Read more... )

Okay. Someone just rang the doorbell (YES, in this bloody time in the morning), I brushed my teeth procrastinating, cleaned my room which looked like a pigsty with papers instead of mud (well, it's half clean), which was the condition it has always been since time immemorial (or, at the very least, since summer started), and my bed's filled with ( Read more... )

Just today, at 4 something am, something happened.

Just as I was preparing my stuff for possibly the second to the last time.

All those three years, all those pent up feelings and emotions at the end of the year.

The sadness that everyone but me seems to feel at the end of the year.

The melancholy that I seemed to be resistant too since First Year.

It's been a whole month and a day since my birthday. Heh. And since I don't have anything better to do (actually, I do, but I'm just too lazy to do it) I'm doing this. Songs that Defined My 15th Year. Heh. This will be chronological, btw. Just saying.

1. Heart Of The Matter - India.Arie
All the other songs before this one was just a fad. Fad Fad Fad ( Read more... )

525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear.
525,600 minutes - How do you measure, measure a year?

In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee.
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.
In 525,600 minutes, how do you measure a year in the life?

How about love? How about love? How about love? Measure in love. Seasons of love.

525,600 ( Read more... )

So, here it is. Post 199. I checked. Haay.

Today is the Sunday before the end. It still all too... uh... I don' t know, surreal? Heck, I don't think that suffices. I don't think there's even a word for it. Heh.

And so, as usual, before ANYTHING at all ends in Pisay, we have to go through one more test. Periodic exams, more like it.

Haay. Our schedule ( Read more... )

It's been a long, hard, 10 month journey, but, right now, that 10 months seemed like a quick flash of light, over before you even think about it. And, yes, I know it wasn't always like that (ahem*physics homeworks*ahem) and that there were times that I really really did wish that the whole year was over. But then, that's how we are supposed to be, ( Read more... )
