reality bites...

There was a pause as I repeated the words in my head a few times, sifting through them for
their real intent.

"You… don't… want me?" I tried out the words, confused by the way they sounded, placed
in that order.

"No."

I stared, uncomprehending, into his eyes. He stared back without apology. His eyes were like
topaz–hard and clear and very deep. I felt like I could see into them for miles and miles, yet
nowhere in rheir bottomless depths could I see a contradiction to the word he'd spoken.

Down Divi

If your craving for an ultimate shopping galore but your limited budget is stopping you, walk down Divi. Yes, Divisoria…

Here you can buy all sort of things, from the freshest fruits and veggies, most stylish clothes, chic jewelries and accessories, home furniture, and everything you could possibly buy, at the cheapest price in metro!

If you’re looking for some high end stuff and want a slightly comfortable walk you can go to the malls. But never under estimate the buying power of those people who prefer to walk the roads of Ilaya and Ongpin.

In Ilaya, surely a little stroll away from the 168 mall, you can find many bits and pieces of what you need and want to buy. For those who are into business, whole selling is widespread. But for those who just want to shop, your 1000 peso bill will definitely go a long way. With this limited budget, you can actually buy a set of nice clothes plus shoes and accessories! Imagine the money you can save.

You can buy gifts here and your love ones will never know you bought them on the cheapest prize.

There are stands which sell souvenirs for different occasions and a patio that sell different stunning gowns which you can use for any event like the JS prom, a simple dinner date and even for weddings. The cost ranges from four thousand pesos, for wedding gowns, down to 800, for those little dazzling gowns.

Bags, shoes, clothes, nice jeans and accessories. Name it and they have it.

But if your looking for 10 up to 24K of stunningly engraved gold or silver jewelries, then go to Ongpin. I almost got blind looking at those shiny stuff. Golds everywhere! It’s as if King Midas just left.

Just take the walk down Divisoria, but always be careful with your things. Do not go there wearing your jewelries (you will never know) its best to be cautious.

And after shopping, you will surely want a nice meal. Don’t worry, delicious food stores are abundant on the streets of Divisoria. If you’re into Chinese food or typical Pinoy delicacies, walk around the streets and you will probably find a perfect place to rest your feet a

tell me about it...

While MJ is dead.

While the King of Pop is dead, while everyone is mourning and reminiscing. how? all I've been hearing, seeing, and even reading is all about the late MJ. I dont blame everyone. Michael Jackson have been part of their early slash teenage life. Even i, who were born not on the peak of his marvelous career, knew most of his songs slash dance steps! (hell yeah! wanna see me do the moon walk!? HAHA!) by heart...

i remember having a poster of one of his many concerts. so i guess, yeah, MJ (in a way) have been a part of my life too. I specially love "Ben" thanks to my mom.

Ben
by Michael Jackson

Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you, my friend, will see
You've got a friend in me
(you've got a friend in me)

Ben, you're always running here and there
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's one thing you should know
You've got a place to go
(you've got a place to go)

I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
(a friend) Like Ben
(like Ben) Like Ben

So, while MJ is dead...
The world, including me, will always remember his songs...

ayoko na ng pink

Mula ngayon, ayoko na ng pink. hindi na ko titingin sa pink. masyadong malambot. masyadong mahina. masyadong hindi ako.

PINK
-ang kulit, sinabi ko ng ayoko na sayo.

VOYAGE EDITING
- ok to. marami akong natutunan. biro mo, kaya ko palang mg-edit ng 30 hours straight? whew! basta ok ang kasama mo sa editing, ok ang kalalabasan nito. Pero xempre, ibang usapan na kung ang cameraman mo ay pasmado. Yung tipong naka-tripod ka na at naibigay na ng producer ang gusto nyang shots eh pagdating sa editing, right click-speed duration-50 less- parin ang tira ng editor sa video mo. patay! buti kung beauty shots at establishing lang ang kinukuha mo. Pano na kung action shots? sigurado, mang-gigigil ang producer mo, titingin ng masama sa editor, biglang mghahananap ng bagong video. (eh yung materials parin ng parehong cameraman ang meron ka) Kalbo na ang producer mo, probleblamado pa ngayon ang editor mo. Patay!
Lagyan mo ng cutaways yan! (Translation: Pangit ng video mo, boring, lagyan mo ng ibang mukha) Ooopps, ano yun? (Translation: Editor kaba ? bakit may pitik yang video mo?) hahahaha!

actually nakakatuwa nga eh. hehehe. nakikita mo ang gulo ng industriyang ginagalawan mo. Pag sumabit ang isa, sabit lahat. Opisyal na pumapasok nga lang sa isip to kapag editing na. kapag ieere na, kapag andyan na, kapag nakalatag na at naisip mong- teka, anak ng, my mali! sabit! sinong?

sabay-sabay na titingin sa huling taong humawak ng proyekto.

THE ALCHEMIST by PAULO COELHO
- Binabasa ko ulit. Dahil sa wala pa kong pambili ng bagong libro, nanghiram muna ako. Inuumpisahan ko ulit.
Gusto kong bigyan ng justice ang pagkukwento sa librong to, pero dahil hindi ko pa natatapos "ulit" hindi ko muna iku-kwento.

Invictus

William Ernest Henley. 1849–1903

Invictus

OUT of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

"To go beyond is as wrong as to fall short."

"To go beyond is as wrong as to fall short."
-Confucius-

And this is where love puts me.

I loved beyond reasons, that’s why I’m hurting beyond what is possible.

I’m hurting… like hell…

I tried my hardest to forget, but I failed before. This time it’s going to be for real.
I’ve given him everything. Now, I’m going to love myself more.

I’m keeping something for myself this time. I’m going to keep my pride. I’m going to keep me.

There’s no point being someone else anymore. It caused me nothing but unbearable pain.

I’m going to be the old me, only better. For I’m putting you out of my system.

This time it’s for real. I’m doing this for myself. To keep me.

Coz if not, I will never forgive myself.
