integrity!

i can explain.. :p

patulan ba ang mga quote? hehehe. walang magawa..
what do you think?

"Believe the best of everybody."
--> I try to :) Even if there are things in this world that would make me want not to believe. Pero sabi ko nga.. I believe that people are good. Deep inside. For others, deep deep deep deep inside. Hehehe..
--> It's kinda tiring though. When you believe in people. When you believe sooo much. But they let you down somehow.. I guess all you can do is to tell them what you think of them, how great they can be, how much more they can be. And then it's up to them to realize that. To find themselves. To see that they are or they could be..
--> But I shouldn't be disappointed. If I really believe. I should just see it as them on a journey to discovery. Not there yet, but getting there..

"When one door closes, another opens, but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us."
--> So.. Don't live in the past..
--> But before moving on, be sure to pick up a few things from what happened. Someone once said, there are no bad experiences, only learning experiences. :D

"Never explain yourself: Your friends don't need it and your enemies won't believe it."
--> I think, sometimes you do. Because there are times when we act out of character - that even your friends don't understand, that even YOU don't understand. But maybe it means that you don't have to 'defend' yourself? Because your friends (if they are your friends :p) will understand eventually. Eh?
--> It's hard to expect people to just know. Sometimes you have to help them out a bit. So sometimes, ok lang to explain..

You say you wander your own land
But when I think about it
I don't see how you can

You're aching, you're breaking
And I can see the pain in your eyes
Says everybody's changing
And I don't know why.

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same.

You're gone from here
Soon you will disappear
Fading into beautiful light
'cause everybody's changing
And I don't feel right.

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same.

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same.

...
Everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same.

i just wanna stop..
i'm tired..

Trust is a precious thing. I've always thought of myself as a trusting person and likewise a trustworthy one. Presumptuous of me, I know. However, I never thought that once that trust has been broken, even by the slightest offense, I’d have trouble trusting that person again. Vindictive, am I? Or maybe that’s too strong a word. I guess if I couldn’t trust that person with the little things, what more the big ones? I don’t know what that person could do to regain my trust, and I don’t know how I can get over the feeling of betrayal.

trust

not the condom...
but if it were as cheap as those, i would be it's number one buyer! joooke. i'd just buy lots and lots. :) i don't need it all the time. to buy, i mean (if it could be bought). i still believe that people are innately good. i just forget sometimes. because of people. because of life. but at the same time, they (people, life) make me remember. (not necessarily the same people and life.. huh? i have more than one life?! :p) and then i'm happy and at peace. then i forget again. and then remember again.. tiring.. but i'm glad that i still remember. :)

-=-=-=-

ang drama ha.. actually.. i'm just trying to be profound (naks. ayos sa word!).. and i'm trying to make bawi (coño tone ha) by posting and posting and posting (3 na, including this, since yesterday) even if they're.. uhm.. whatever. hehe.

Snow Patrol
Chasing Cars

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, They're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

wala lang...

i'm back...

...pero tamad pa rin kaya..
pictures na lang ulit... :)

better than ezra - desperately wanting

Past the road to your house
That you never called home
Where they turned out the lights
Though they say you’ll never know
I remember running through the wet grass
And falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting
When they pumped out your guts
And filled you full of those pills
You were never quite right
Deserving all the chills
They say the worst is over
Kicked it over and ran
Then they ask what went wrong
When they turn you on again
They turn you on again.
Kick them right in the face
Make them wish they weren’t born
And if they bring up your name
Well they’ll say you won the war.
Baby burst in the world
Never given a chance
Then they ask what went wrong
When you never had it right
Oh the letters they have dropped off
Though they say you got them all
I finally figured out some things you’ll never know.
Take back your life and let me inside
We’ll find the door if you care to anymore.
I remember running through the wet grass
And falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting.

antagal ko na hindi sumulat dito. pero meron naman mga ideas on what to write. tamad lang talga! :D

i wanted to write something like "5 years ago today we graduated". pero i forgot when our graduation was exactly. march 23 ba o march 25. parang ganun.. e i don't know how i'll know. so wag na lang. and i'm not sure kung tama ung phrase.. 5 years ago today? this day 5 years ago? basta. whatever. :p

and then there's this one about spa and massages. (because i really need a massage right now! my back hurts!) it goes something like... i believe that i indulge myself with massages and all. so i decided to come up with a list of spas(?) where i've been to. so.. i've had massages at:
the spa, acropolis
nurture spa, tagaytay
fitness first (spa?), libis --> ok po ba ang freysyur? ;p
suriya spa, glorietta
tranquil spa, katipunan
camp john hay manor (spa?), baguio
the farm at san benito, batangas
some store in podium (does this count? ung parang sa chair lang na massage..)
at home, antipolo (hehehehe)
[can't remember anymore]
such a short list! gotta add to this! :p

un lang. :D

travel - spend
books - spend
food - save :D
clothes - save

we all used to work for the same company... ages and ages ago... 

i wanted to post this last march 5. but that was a sunday and the picture was in my PC here at work. i won't pass by the office just to post this! :p

anyway, if i was able to post this last march 5, the title would be -
last year today.. or today last year?!

since i'm posting it now, wala ng title title pa! :D
