More to Life?
Seriously. Take out religion and what the TV and newspapers are telling you.
Is there more to life than comfort, security, and pleasuring oneself?
And if you know what it is, will you pursue it even if the consequences are that that your comfort, security, and hedonism will be reduced?

Caught off guard. (enough said, take two)
Her: Well, you're smart. What do you think's gonna happen next?
Him: I dunno. You tell me.

A Sorta Fairytale - Tori Amos
on my way up north
up on the ventura
i pulled back the hood
and i was talking to you
and i knew then it would be
a life long thing
but i didn't know that we
we could break a silver lining
and i'm so sad
like a good book

Rootless Tree - Damien Rice
What I want from you is empty your head
They say be true, don't stay in your bed
We do what we need to be free
And this leans on me, just like a rootless tree
What I want from us is empty our minds
Where we fake the thoughts, and fracture the times
We go blind when we've needed to see
And this leans on me, just like a ( Read more... ) -
Welcome to my Beautiful.
Beautiful - india.arie
The time is right
I'm gonna pack my bags
And take that journey down the road
Cause over the mountain I see the bright sun shining
And I want to live inside the glow
Yeah
I wanna go to a place where I am nothing and everything
That exists between here and nowhere
I wanna go to a place where time has no consequences oh yeah

Looking for a condo unit in Katips or Pasig.
Hey guys!
I'll be going back to Manila on October, whether or not my parents approve of it.
I will be using my own resources (i.e. savings) and I'll be getting a job immediately once I get back. So I'll be putting my money where my mouth is (given all of my recent entries here in LJ, bwehehe) and not depend on my parents' money.
Would you, or your ( Read more... ) -
The Benefit of the Doubt.
Thanks for your support, guys. The uneasiness I feel is relieved from your encouraging words. :) *bear hugs all around*
Now that I think about it, yeah, parents do mean well, and they’re just doing what they know. They achieved their success in a very linear, 1980-1990’s fashion, i.e. get a steady job, work your ass off, and amass a significant ( Read more... ) -
Sober.
I’m happy now.
It took me a month to get over my material impulsiveness (i.e. ADDICTIONS).
When I came to Vancouver, with its expensive manicure-pedicures ($40!), expensive but plain clothes (blah tees priced at $10!), expensive facials and restaurants, I went through bouts of impulse retail therapy and food tripping withdrawals.
You see, ( Read more... ) -
You are not ordinary.
Halfway through the week, I was hesitant to get a job. It wasn't because I was lazy. I was just so fucking paralyzed with the realization that my life depends on the decisions that I will make. Expectations from parents and society can no longer be my handicap. I am an adult, with a diploma and one-year work experience under my belt. I can make my ( Read more... ) -
Stay hungry, stay foolish.
Know the rules, so you know how to break them well.
Find loopholes in rules, in your thinking.
And do whatever it is you want to do.

Dwelling in a foreign country is like a fast of sorts.
Uprooted from your native culture, without your support system (bosom buddies) and the familiarities of home within grasp, you have only one thing to depend on ( Read more... ) -
After a while.
After a while...
After a while you learn
the subtle difference between
holding a hand and chaining a soul
and you learn that love doesn't mean possession
and company doesn't mean security.
And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts
and presents aren't promises
and you begin to accept your defeats
with your head up and your eyes ahead
with ( Read more... )
