A light when all other lights go out!

just walk on and on around the block, daydreaming. :)

i usually begin to feel demoralized during this time. it's relentless. =(

dear cor, paki-dasal itong idol mo na si miley cyrus. ngayon ko lang nakita ang kanyang vid ng Wrecking Ball. hehehehe. fyi, i've long been over her. she tweets annoying things kc. the scales in my eyes fell off. anyone seeking to watch her vid is forewarned. :D

a cynical take on closing your eyes and making a wish, courtesy of the new yorker cartoons:

at 10:30 pm last saturday, i was freaking bored out of my mind. i was alone at home (except for pitchie, the people were gone, and anyway, even if they were present, i still would have been looking for something i-don't-know-what) and i had nothing to do (and the things i ought to have been doing, i hadn't felt like doing that time anyway). ok. having written that, i now realize i'm a liar. first, i claimed i was alone at home on a saturday night, when i wasn't. second, i said i had nothing to do when in fact i did (chores, study for job exams, sleep, etc.). but anyway, now that we've established i'm a liar, let's move on. so i was bored. however, at my invitation, pitchie didn't want to go out, so i texted mai: mai, san ka? gala tayo. let's watch a movie. open pa kaya greenbelt? subsidize kita. i sometimes subsidize or libre mai when we go out because she's a working student. she told me she was just about finished with work and we agree...

We know where they landed, and when. We know rockets came only from regime-controlled areas and...

i find these words comforting right now: come on, baby, with me, we're gonna fly away from here. out of this curtained room and this hospital grey will just disappear. come on, baby, with me, we're gonna fly away from here. you were my best four years. sometimes comforting words for a specific kind of pain are comforting words for any kind of pain. thank you for writing this song.
