sanity check

Tags:
@ 10:26 AM (1 day, 10 hours ago)
aah, friday-off once again - this means no office work for today and i get to stay home.  i still woke up pretty early though, coz if i didn't, the kids would still be asleep by noon, and they have school today.  nevertheless, i wasn't complaining of waking up early, i already planned my things to do for today.

first, i started to re-organize my closet.  i was actually looking for a missing cellphone, i gave it to alexa/pauline but they seem to have lost it.  as of this moment, i already finished unfolding and re-folding my clothes but the cellphone is still nowhere to be found. 

and then when i got out of the room, i saw my laptop... looks like it's calling for me.  it's quite obvious, i heeded its call.  so here i am. 

i just found out last week that geocities have closed.  darn it.  most of my music files are stored somewhere in geocities.  so now those music links are broken.  sorry 'bout that.
anyway, i already discovered something else, which makes me able to create my personal music playlist, so i guess that is much better.

i know, i'm just yakking and blabbing... not making any sense at all.  nobody reads this anyway.  this is just me typing anything -- anything to keep my sanity.

oh, i just peeked in my room, some of my clothes are still scattered on my bed.  i better go now and try to clean up my remaining mess.

under the bridge

Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Sometimes I feel
Like I dont have a partner
Sometimes I feel
Like my only friend
Is the city I live in
The city of angel
Lonely as I am
Together we cry

I drive on her streets
cause shes my companion
I walk through her hills
cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds
And she kisses me windy
I never worry
Now that is a lie

I dont ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

Its hard to believe
That theres nobody out there
Its hard to believe
That Im all alone
At least I have her love
The city she loves me
Lonely as I am
Together we cry

I dont ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

Under the bridge downtown
Is where I drew some blood
Under the bridge downtown
I could not get enough
Under the bridge downtown
Forgot about my love
Under the bridge downtown
I gave my life away

fireflies, the song

i'm loving this song...


Owl City
Fireflies lyrics


You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
'Cause they fill the open air,
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude, but I would just stand and stare

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems

'Cause I get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they try to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head,
A sock hop beneath my bed,
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread (thread, thread)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
Cuz I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate good-byes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell (said farewell)
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

song for someone

Tags:
@ 09:16 AM (2 months, 14 days ago)

this reminds me of the one who taught me how to play guitar.  he used to play jim croce songs, including 'i have to say i love you in a song'.  but i won't play that here.  that's so cheesy. heh-heh.  but this song is equally good.  <note:  this version is just a cover by Baby Face, i couldn't find the jim croce original.>

 

Time in a Bottle

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
Till eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That youre the one I want to go
Through time with

...just asking

Is It Over?

Is it over, are you really over her
Is it over, or will you take her back again
If it's over you can let her memory in
Come on over, we'll let our love begin.

You say you can't count the times that she's hurt you
And she's hurt you for the last time
Now you say I'm the one that you're needing
But is the need in your heart or just in your mind.

Is it over, are you really over her
Is it over, or will you take her back again
If it's over you can let her memory in
Come on over, we'll let our love begin.

You know that I'm yours for the asking
If you're really asking, for true love
Words can't express how I want you
Oh, how I want to believe you're giving her up.

But is it over are you really over her
Is it over or will you take her back again
If it's over you can let her memory in
Come on over we'll let our love begin.

Is it over, come on over let our love begin.
Is it over... ?

finally i'm just a few hours away from going home.  i woke up very early today, 5:30 to be exact coz i wanted to catch this particular episode of 'travelogue' in cctv 9.  see, this is just one of the 4 channels here on tv in english.  i watch this everyday, except sunday, at 5:30 while having my breakfast.  'travelogue' is a program where they show you places around china and it's the next best thing to actually being there.  they don't only show the usual tourist-y stuff, but at the same time you'll be introduced to the culture and history of these far-flung places.  and i woke up today rather early because the host for today was marc edwards, my favorite of the hosts (they have different hosts every 2 episodes and yesterday i got lucky coz i got a final glimpse of him for 2 episodes before i leave hahaha).  marc edwards is half chinese, he doesn't look like the typical one (i think he's cute, really)... and he's got british accent.  see marc edwards here.

so enough of marc edwards as i was so busy on my last day at the site.  early in the morning i made a round of the site just to say goodbye and get a final glimpse of the structures and hoping i could go back to see everything all set up and ready for turnover.  then i had to rush back coz i had to submit some calculations and sketches -- ok, this is work thingy.  while doing this people came and went to bid goodbye and invited me for dinner.  i got really flattered and at the same time, was feeling kind of sad because i wasn't sure when we'll gonna see each other again.  well, engineering world is just a small world so perhaps in another project we'll get to meet again.  i hope.

so at night i had this dinner with friends, filipino, chinese, and including the project director, who is the top boss in this project.  actually, mark, ferdie and i always had friday dinners with the project director, so in a way, we feel that we're now 'close' to him.. if you get my drift. ha-ha-ha.  but really, paul (proj dir) is such a nice guy.

i went back to the hotel around 9pm and started packing.  ended up having 1 large luggage (hoping it's within the limit of 20 kilos) and 3 carry-on bags.  this is going to be a tough trip.

ok now, my driver will pick me up at 10, it's only 6:35am... i still have plenty of things to do.  will post next when i'm in manila. woo-hoo!

"i'll be alright
i'll be with you tonight
i'm coming back home..."
