;)

and now i write again #2

in keeping with the previous post, it is exactly 1 month and 4 days since the last one.and decades since i wrote a good one here.

im sorry blog. it's just that it is no longer convenient for me to post my thoughts here. primarily because the ofc disallows the misuse of the internet. but dear blog, i have written some song poems for u.. hehe some really sad ones. i think there are like 5 of them already i dont know.

so where was i.

ok so now i finally got the time to write stuff. but i lost the magic of spontaniety.. .if there is such a word. my critics.. please check. heheh ok so im like insomniac right at this moment. why? because of some things that are not going my way. hehehe ok so im acting like a child. yes . maybe i am. but dont we all get disappointed when thing dont happen as we want them to be?

mine is a little different though. cos i believe in the saying .. a blessing in disguise. but then again who am i to predict the future.

blah blah blah...

oh well. if there's any good about tonight, it is the new adventure of my friend Arman. he is off to another place, and brave enough to go there alone, and with just a hand carried conviction to change his life... or at least do something worthwile.

i on the other hand, have spent my last few months drinking , playing games (not those that are called amusing, but mostly mind games... or the kind that is called.. the games people play). i have turned a quarter of a century older. but where am i? i am still stuck here. from where i was the day i was born. i might be older. heavier. and more knowledgeable of course.. but somehow it feels pretty monotonous already.. that i cannot wait to die and live again..

oh yeah.. nick drake. i love nick drake's songs.. pink moon and river man. and he was featured in The Lakehouse soundtrak.. i dont wanna elaborate as i have mentioned it already on previous blogs. but i just found out that he died at the age of 26. i was like wow.. that is a year from now for me. but what have i done? no pink moon and river man songs. no recording of some material that people notice.. well we did have one. hehehe but something of there level..

maybe i just overlooked at myself. maybe i should re assess. or maybe i should just die. either way.. the headache is starting to kick in now. lolz. and i dont know what to do. i want to sleep but yet not..

i was surprised to open my blog again and find the dmb song space between. that song was in my head for the past days, and i cannot remember exactly how the lines with ... u know u went off like the devil.. blah blah go. so there., i got my closure as i read the lyrics.

life is indeed full of surprises. they however dont guarantee a 100% to ur liking.

some surprises hurt

and they are the ones i dont like. like the kind that freezes my gmail and not be able to read my goddamn fucking emails. hehehe

what good is tomorrow? if i would be frank with myself.. tomorrow is now., as i can hear the roosters.. but to go in line with the feelings that the song Today, by smashing pumpkins... i say tomorrow is nothing to get excited about. today is the greatest day.. and yeah i cannot wait for tomorrow.. cos tomorrow is much too long... and i am too scared to let bad things happen to me .... that id trade the good ones.

so if tomorrow people will find out that i am already dead. i say to all of u.. see u again. =) and i love the people i love and u know who u are.. or at least ask some of my friends for reference.


but if tomorrow id still be alive. and it is because.... the pills didnt kick in. and yeah.. it might be just another boring day.

=)

and now i write again

i have not been able to write in my blog for 1month and 2 days now. it's not that i havent been online, it's just that i dont have time to open my gmail and blogger (they're banned in my ofc.. argh!)

it's a lazy sunday afternoon. im at the porch, listening to the falling water from the filter in our aquarium.. and once in a while glance at the pool.. i wanted to take a dip since yesterday, but im too lazy to fix myself after. heheh

i had a couple of songpoems in my head for the past weeks which i wanted to write but then i forgot all of them at this moment. maybe it's because of last night's wine. (last morning)

no.

it is because i am not the writer that i hoped to be. hehe no. i am not going to hate myself. i had too much of that. i think im going crazy. because i wanted to. =P maybe i am. come hang out with me and you be the judge.

i have been reading too much Elliot Smith articles maybe. and killings.. and others.

but i am well, at least i think i am. i have begun to think of "things to dos" again.

like:
record our songs
go to singapore/hk/australia/ any local beach

and i think the latter is the most probable.

i have been watching simpson's videos almost every weekend. feeding myself with the mature humor and sattire that is guised in a cartoon.

so i ask myself. how am i doing? i think i am ok. im better than my pc. (im using my mom's laptop) my pc needs some SURGERY. i tried cleaning it this morning lolz. and it got worse. i am beginning to think that i have the reverse MidasTouch

how's the world doing?

i dont know.

an on the spot one liner that i made up last night.. right kar?

~*~ here's your cookie, and you decide my fortune ~*~


i dont even know if it's grammaticaly correct. poetic license invoked.

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...
