(bungot, i hope you'll find your 365)


discipline.
that's what i was thinking when i was lying on the awkward section of the sofa about three hours earlier, finding my eyes drooping ready for sleep.

toothbrush, wash, and change. in proper order before sleeping.
so i find myself ghad, no longer sleepy after that cold water splatter.

whattodo, whattodo. yep, i found myself finally typing the keys.

so much stories, where to start.
so much pictures, when to upload.
so much preoccupation, how to handle.


Bokeh Love



for the past three days, i've been out of the house, listening to my high school friend bitter, reminisce, laugh, bitch and just about everything in between on her breakup. so much for starting the year, ey?

i tried to preoccupy her, even hanged on fifty-degrees tilted on top of the tallest building of the city.
i shouted at her, laughed with her, and well, listened, wishing my lame attempts matter.


silently, i wished it would have been as easy for her as I have had..
when finding oneself feeling bad, and one's office mate will just nudge you and say "hey, okay ra ka?" and it suddenly feels a whole lot lighter.
when you find yourself saying, "I'm sad..." and they would simply say "dali, i'll get you ice cream".

and i wish it would have been as easy as that when one can say that "it's happy to be sad sometimes".


emo.
it seems there's a whole bunch of people getting in that fad. jusssttt kidding, haha.

then there's that project 365 pictures, lost in meaning, until you find those who have had defined theirs.
just like sungazing's. yep, you've got to read her story. here.



toothbrush, wash, and change.
it takes discipline sometimes to get up and do them, when it could have been more comfortable not to.

go mess it up if you want.
wash, change, toothbrush?

at the end of the day, there will be you.




Rain Dance
By Julie Ziesemann


Dancing on the porch
in the rain
naked.
Who would have thought
I’d ever do that?
You stood there
afraid to move
hiding yourself.

I laughed and danced
arms reaching the sky
catching rain.
You acted as if I were
crazy as you turned around
and walked away.

You anticipated me to
follow. Your expectations
were the last thing
on my mind.

andy busted it


i was on my hello blogger when i caught andy osbert behind my back reading my supposed-to-be- post. boo!
haha :) but i love him anyway.

anyhow, i was listening intently to colbie caillat's songs earlier, and found myself google-ing the lyrics of Older. dumdedum.

i then dedicate this song to two of my friends, whom I think this song is rather very apt to their current life stories. One would probably never get to read this, while the other would most likely text in sun. dumdedum.

Seems like nothing is black and white anymore? Here goes...




Waited all my life for this day to come
I feel like letting go, life goes on
Wasting no more time
So much to be done
Everything works out
So they say
Over my shoulder, it's tough getting older
Yeah, yeah.......


Seems like nothing is black and white anymore
Shades of grey and I feel a weight over my shoulder
It's tough getting older
I always thought that I knew where I'd want to go
Now I'm here and I find that I'm still getting colder
It's kinda tough getting older


Here before my eyes, many roads ahead
Time for me to choose one way now
If I take a chance
What lies down the road
Feeling so confused, turned round
On and on, on and on
yeah yeah.....


Seems like nothing is black and white anymore
Shades of grey and I feel a weight over my shoulder
It's tough getting older
I always thought that I knew where I'd want to go
Now I'm here and I find that I'm still getting colder
It's kinda tough getting older


Waited all my life for this day to come
I feel like letting go, life goes on
Over my shoulder (on and on)
It's tough getting older (on and on, on)
Yeah, yeah.....

so much for turning a quarter, ey?

hati tayo, that makes two :D



"You don't need to search the details behind my perspective or my personality because i don't like artificial or complicated things. Life is so short so please don't make the life unbearable with your artificial and complicated things..."


"Please catch the moment and share these moments with other exact people...."


mwahhhh!

Objective Type

.

  • What is Relief?
It's when for two days you have earnestly tried locating the missing pouch you've placed the money in - especially after receiving the credit card bill- searched all over the house, get everything tidied up and disorganized again, get scolded by your mom for it, and coming in to the office with the pouch greeting you, "I'm here :)"


  • What's Amazement?
When the money you were expecting to be in the pouch turns out to be thousands more than you remembered it.

...and couldn't recount what the money is intended for!


  • What's TANga?
Guess who? :P

R.I.P.


Dear Spidey,


I'm really sorry I asked Mama Bel to take you out. You see, next to flying roaches,
you are the next thing that I uhm, do not really like inside the house. You were kinda
big, and those eyes? Ghad.


You scared me. I was sooo wary! Again, yes, sooo wary that you were there when I
got in. I can almost imagine you jumping on me that easily. You made my baths, by
far, my record breakers!


But thank you...


For not jumping on me as I half expected you would.
For keeping the bathroom fly-free. (Looks like I'm not the only one wary of you.)


And as I write this, I know you were as scared, and even more scared than I was. If
only for that, can we call it quits?

You were a good spidey. I'll try to be my best, too.


See you in heaven (a century from now),
Chari
