survival skills, and the methods of the "i-could-care-less"

i am awfully sleepy already. .. sleepy and alcohol free at that. lol, but i think i need to write this one.

this morning while i was just starting to clean my car, an australian guy came to me. .. he is somewhere late 40s i think.. or early 50s, and he asked me, why every single day i clean my car.
he told me "why does this car gets clean everyday".. i replied to him, "it's because i work in mactan and it's very far from here and it gets dusty all the time"... frantically looking for some piece of evidence to prove my case,.. unfortunately.. there was none.

anyway he proceeded with his point.

he said." well back in Brisbane, we cannot do that" then he explained. that due to NO rainfall in 4YRS!... people are no longer allowed to use water to clean their cars, or even for gardening. Water is now used primarily for drinking.. and he said, that there are plans to even use sewage water for drinking.. but not literally of course.. sewage water has to go to some treatment / process and i bet my golden hair it may even come out 200% cleaner than our tap here. hehehe

but the news got me thinking. (i dont know if it is true though. as of my writing i didnt do any other "independent" research, my sole source-not for water- but for info is the aussie.)

anyway.. with that much of a problem, why is brisbane is still able to stay afloat?.. i mean.. if it was the Philippines., no rainfall for a year would mean *a decline in our economy, damaged agricultural sector*.. i dont knw., it's just me.. but .. two thumbs up for the citizens of brisbane and their government for keeping things in order amidst the problem of the lack of one of the most basic of all elements. (necessity)

this is what we should do. think together. and act together. i think that is what this country lacks. we are prone to say bad things about our own country (im guilty).. but all we needed after all these years... was to say. "Pare, i think what we need to do is this... ". And lets not forget the most vital part of getting things done.. *work till it gets done*

=)

i didnt know id end up so political... time to grab that book my Mr MArcos. =)

the space between...

been thinking alot about alot lately. lolz. =)

and here's a song that came to mind....

You cannot quit me so quickly
there is no hope in you for me
No corner you could squeeze me
But Ive got all the time for you, love

The space between, the tears we cry
Its the laughter keeps us coming back for more
The space between, the wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep us safe from the pain
Will I hold you again?

These fickle, fuddled words confuse me
Like will it rain today?
We waste the hours with talking, talking
These twisted games were playing

Were strange allies
With warring hearts
What a wild-eyed beast you be

The space between, the wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep us safe from the pain
Will I hold you again?
Will I hold you...

Look at us spinning out in the madness of a rollercoaster
You know you went off like the devil in a church
In the middle of a crowded room
All we can do, my love
Is hope we dont take this ship down
The space between, where you smile and hide
Where youll find me if I get to go

The space between, the bullets in our fire fight
Is where Ill be hiding, waiting for you
The rain that falls splashed in your heart
Ran like sadness down the window into your room

The space between, our wicked lies
Is where we hope to keep safe from pain
Take my hand
cause were walking out of here
Oh, right out of here
Love is all we need dear

The space between, whats wrong and right
Is where youll find me hiding, waiting for you
The space between, your heart and mine
Is a space well fill with time

The space between...

the mouse harp fairy

the mouse harp fairy

she plays the tunes in the morning
she plays it in the evening
bending the notes without care
in a delicate way that no one dares

in the streets of cobbled stones
she brings shivers to my bones
her frantic speech is defeaning
her evil smile so deceiving

dont come too close she'll bite you
dont go too far you'll lose her...

taking a break...

i didnt go to the office today.. I AM SICK. literally. i went home at lunch yesterday, due to severe stomach pains.. =( and i feel really cold inside the office.
