I am grateful
But things are getting better now.
So thanks to my friends. For listening and being there and making me laugh. Somehow it's enough.
My officemates, who had helped me...Robert in particular. The best ka talaga Papa Robert.
My mom, for helping me stay afloat while nagging me at the same time.
My bro's gf, Loresh who made it possible for me not to get evicted. =p.
And my sweet bottom (hehe) Boa for the reassurances and support throughout all this.
Really. I'm getting all choked up just writing about how lucky I am that I have all of Y O U.

I Love Ally McBeal!
(Vonda Shephard and Emily Saliers)
I like the way you wanted me
Every night for so long baby
I like the way you needed me
Every time things got rocky
I was believing in you
Am I mistaken do you say,
Do you say what you mean
I want our love to last forever
But I'd rather you be mean than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow
I like the way you'd hold me
Every night for so long baby
And I like the way you'd say my name
In the middle of the night
While you were sleeping
I was believing in you
Was I mistaken
Do you mean, mean what you say
When you say our love could last forever
Well I'd rather you be mean than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow
You would run around and lead me on forever
While I wait at home thinking that we're together
I wanted our love to last forever
Well I'd rather you be mean than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow

Recluse
that makes us sigh and groan and undergo sweet nauseas of all kinds,
is the remembrance of some lost bliss
that was probably experienced in the womb
and can only be reproduced (though we hate to admit it)
in death.
-Jack Kerouac "On The Road"
I just watched Alias on DVD, one episode after the other.
There were people that dropped by which forced me to go out and forage for food and when they left I continued watching Alias.
I watched and waited.
And waiting is an agony on its own.
And to be with him means I would have to get used to waiting while treacherous ghosts and pangs of irrational jealousy danced cruelly in my head.
I don't want it to be that way.
I don't want to get used to his embrace only to feel suffocated once I'm given the space.
There must be something that I can still claim for myself.

Infinity (Merrick)
I love Grey's Anatomy...this song was featured in the ep "Deny, Deny, Deny"...to listen to the song, search for the song here
We are all like astronauts
Discovery, infinity
Take my empty body
And discover me, infinity
Forgive the endless longing
So it's crazy you and crazy me
I am
I am
I am
I am
I am infinity
We are all like astronauts
The little prince I want to please
Nevermind your habits absolutely
You encourage me
Forgive the endless longing
So it's crazy you, crazy me
I am
I am
I am
I am
I am infinity
Doesn't matter anyway
He is longing anyhow
Doesn't matter anyway
He is longing anyhow
We're wasting up our lips
They're interlocking, we are centipedes
Take this to the floor
It's interstellar with our blue-black needs
Forgive the endless longing
So it's crazy you, crazy me
I am
I am
I am
I am
I am infinity
Doesn't matter anyway
He is longing anyhow

One For School Pride!
UST Growling Tigers rock!
I've always been a proud Thomasian, it never waivered even though the basketball team had its losing streak (there's more to being a Thomasian than basketball, you see), but I'm prouder than I've ever been right now.
Thanks to my boy Boa for the every second update that he gave during Game 3. (lablab kita! =p)
And to those fellow Thomasian at USTExchange for their tireless updates as well.
United we stand, eh?
Went back last night and saw the architectural changes.
Can't say that I'm happy with it. Then again, it's beyond my control.
There's one thing that I liked though, the huge screen at Espana street that shouts: "Welcome to UST, the Home of the Growling Tigers."
Wow. Just wow.
