my biorythm says my body is getting better
but emotinally, im going to go down oin the next few days
so will i intellectually.

its heartening to know that i might become stronger in the next few days
lately, ive been feeling weak and tired. but if its to get over then happy me
but emotionally?????????????????????
is it in anyway possible to get it lower than it is ryt now?
but if it is, then i cant even bear to think of whats coming
any way, que sera...

free time

oh this week i got lots and lots of free time,
after all there are no classes

and besides, we got nothing to do at the office,
its almost release and everythings at ready

i can just spend my afternoons whiling away the time
doing nothing of signifance

i dont have to go to school unless i want to watch the games
i dont have to face a computer, unless its to play

there are no circuits to design and wire
nothing to plan
no programs to make
no tests to study for

life's a dream!


and it is just what it is...

a long forgotten dream.

What One Man Can Do

I suppose that there are those
Who'll say he had it easy
Had it made in fact
Before hed even begun
But they dont know the things I know
I was always with him
It may sound strange
We were more than friends

Its hard to tell the truth
When no one wants to listen
When no one really cares
Whats going on
And its hard to stand alone
When you need someone beside you
Your spirit and your faith
They must be strong

What one man can do is dream
What one man can do is love
What one man can do is change the world
And make it young again
Here you see what one man can do

As shaded as his eyes might be
Thats how bright his mind is
Thats how strong his love
For you and me
A friend to all the universe
Grandfather of the future
And everything I would like to be

What one man can do is dream
What one man can do is love
What one man can do is change the world
And make it young again
Here you see what one man can do

What one man can do is dream
What one man can do is love
What one man can do is change the world
And make it young again
Here you see what one man can do

On the Wings of a Dream

yesterday I had a dream about dying
About laying to rest and then flying
How the moment at hand
Is the only thing we really own
And I lay in my bed and I wonder
After all has been said and is done for
Why is it thus we are here
And so soon we are gone

Is this life just a path
To the place that we all have come from
Does the heart know the way
And if not can it ever be found
In a smile or a tear
Or a prayer or a sigh or a song

And if so I sing for my father
And in truth you must know I would rather
He were here by my side
We could fly on the wings of a dream
To a place where the spirit could find us
And joy and surrender would bind us
We are one anyway
Anyway we are more than we seem

There are those who will lead us
Protect us each step of the way
From beginning to end
For each moment forever each day
Such a gift has been given
It can never be taken away

Though the body in passing must leave us
There is one who remains to receive us
There are those in this life
Who are friends from our heavenly home
So I listen to the voices inside me
For I know they are there just to guide me
And my faith will proclaim it is so
We are never alone

From the life to the light
From the dark of the night to the dawn
He is so in my heart
He is here he could never be gone
Though the singer is silent
There still is the truth of the song

Yesterday I had a dream about dying
About laying to rest and then flying
How the moment at hand
Is the only thing we really own

And I lay in my bed and I wonder
After all has been said and is done for
Why is it thus we are here
And so soon we are gone
Why is it thus we are here
And so soon we are gone

so...
long time...
this is kinda new to me
its been 1 full week since i last posted.
that weird
i guess ive been really busy this week
or felt like i was.
but theres so much to write
about the things that happened
and being that,
i wont write a thing about it
besides...
some things just cant be said
or are not worth saying
or don't need to be said
all i can say,
is the week was long
and rather expensive.
where did my allowance go???
but anyway...
that's all.

100 Tears Away


Go ahead and cry now
Just give in to the madness
The only way to feel your joy
Is to first feel the sadness

Go ahead and sail now
Just give in to the ocean
The only way to tame your fear
Is to feel her rocky motion

You're a long way from somewhere you call home
There's a place in your heart, you're not alone

All of the happiness you seek
All of the joy for which you pray
Is closer than you think
It's just 100 tears away

Go ahead and listen
Just give into the voices
You think you're backed into a corner
But you've got so mahy choices
You can't save all the hungry
The lonely or the dying
Sometimes we wanna give up
But fools like us keep trying

You're a long way from some place you feel safe
Peace of mine comes from just one place

All of the happiness you seek
All of the joy for which you pray
Is closer than you think
Is just 100 tears away

Whatever it is that'll make you feel good
You can have if you want, if you knew that you could
You can have it all baby

You're a long way from somewhere you call home
There's a place in your heart you're not alone

All of the happiness you seek
All of the joy for which you pray
Is closer than you think
It's just 100 tears away

came from zui's boarding house this pm.
its kinda hard getting used to such a quiet place,
especially when you just came from a place
where loud is the norm,
and nobody complains...
MOST TIMES...
for me, at least.
but there are really times
when you cant help but shut up
for fear of being taken too seriously
or not at all.
or out of delicadeza
or out of spite

but whatever the reason,
you have to ask the question, "why?"
why am i like that?
i know that sometimes
we should shut up,
and i know that i dont
but on other times, why do i still?
but i cant help it
and theyre not helping

im gonna shut up now!

memories and what ever else

i was strolling through the office intranet a few days ago, its the only thing i can search, since they took away our internet. but in any case, i came across some pictures some person took on a trip to dumanjug. surprisingly, the person took pictures of the big house, looking grand in its freshly painted, still-being-restored state.
The big house is one of the family heritages the family is trying to restore. and in its process, the ouse was stripped down, as behind the walls, termites were slowly eating at the hardwood haligis. the posts, and the entire area was then treated with solignum to kill the termites and keep them from coming back. then one by one, the deco and designs of the house were slowly repaired to bring them back to their perfect state.
although its far from being completed, the construction works are slowly beginning to return the true beauty of the house. it may take time, effort, will, and matter to finish it, but it will have to be done, for if it were just painted over, it wouldn't look as good in the end, nor would it last as long. for painting over a crumbling wall, or a rotting post may hide it, but it can never stop the destruction. the wall will still crumble, and the post will still rot. there are really no shortcuts, and you have to destroy to build.
and the house will be finished, no matter how long it will take. because we want it to.

damgo

its funny to window shop
well sometimes at least
whats the point in wishing for something you can never have

hinuon, kung bisan naa nay bayad ang tanan
libre man gihapon ang pagdamgo
kasagaran, mahal man ang mga baligya
dili gyud maaford

pero naa gyud usahay nga bisan makay pa,
di gyud pwede paliton
parehas sa rolls royce,
royalty ra daw ang makapalit
pero damgo man na
anything can happen
even the impossible
especially the impossible

pero ang pagdamgo, adunay apan
sa atong pagbakod,
pagbiya sa atong ginagmayng kalipay
mupahilabaw man gyud ang kaguol
nga di gyud nato maabot ang atong gipagdamgo
ang atong mga imposibleng pangandoy
ug ato na sang atubangon ang pagkawalay hinungdan gna mga kinabuhi
ang atong pagkagubot nga pagpuyo

mao nang magsige na lang tag balik balik sa pagdamgo
bisan kung unsa kini ka sakit paghuman
kay sa maskin kadyot lang nga panahon
nalipay ka
ug kana, igo antusan.

I'm Sorry

It’s cold here in the city
It always seems that way
And I’ve been thinking about you almost everyday
Thinking about the good times
Thinking about the rain
Thinking about how bad it feels alone again

I’m sorry for the way things are in China
I’m sorry things ain’t what they used to be
But more than anything else
I’m sorry for myself
‘Cause you’re not here with me

Our friends ask all about you
I say you’re doing fine
And I expect to hear from you almost anytime
But they all know I’m crying
I can’t sleep at night
They all know I’m dying down deep inside

I’m sorry for all the lies I told you
I’m sorry for the things I didn’t say
But more than anything else
I’m sorry for myself
I can’t believe you went away

I’m sorry if I took some things for granted
I’m sorry for the chains I put on you
But more than anything else
I’m sorry for myself
For living without you

follow me

It’s by far the hardest thing I’ve ever done
To be so in love with you and so alone

Follow me where I go what I do and who I know
Make it part of you to be a part of me
Follow me up and down all the way and all around
Take my hand and say you’ll follow me

It’s long been on my mind
You know it’s been a long, long time
I’ve tried to find the way that I can make you understand
The way I feel about you and just how much I need you
To be there where I can talk to you
When there’s no one else around

Follow me where I go what I do and who I know
Make it part of you to be a part of me
Follow me up and down all the way and all around
Take my hand and say you’ll follow me

You see I’d like to share my life with you
And show you things I’ve seen
Places that I’m going to places where I’ve been
To have you there beside me and never be alone
And all the time that you’re with me
We will be at home

Follow me where I go what I do and who I know
Make it part of you to be a part of me
Follow me up and down all the way
Take my hand and I will follow you

its not just about enough rest that matters i guess.
i have had ample sleep for the past few days,
still i do not feel refreshed.
i ralize that rest is not just the factor.
recreation is also part of the ballgame.
they go together. one without the other
is meaningless
i need a break.
beach kaha.
interested?
what happened to beach sa bus2?
uban ko! hehe...

eggs

why do people call it walking on eggshells?
i mean, why eggshells?
is there something wrong with walking on stupid eggshells?
i mean, i would understand if you were walking on eggs.
you might break them.
but eggshells???
theyre already broken anyway so whats the problem
stupid!

just like how it feels to be not at home in your own house
theres gotta be somthing wrong with that!
when you start counting favors and friendships turn to numbers
there has got to be something wrong with that
what is up people?
can you not understand that we are together in world that is not ours?
who are you to say what i can and cannot do?
just as who am i to say what you can do?
i do not imagine to be perfect.
but i do strive for perfection,
with the knowledge that i can never achieve it.
or that i can achieve it in such i am perfect because i tried.
ant the only way to know that is to know what i did wrong
and correct it. i may be hardheaded at times
but i do try to correct myself.
i try to accept that i am not faultless.

at least i imagine myself to be doing so.
am i wrong? tell me.
and i really do wish people were more like that.
then perhaps there would be less of problems.
