… I woke up with a text message on my phone from A. He was asking to go to MC’s house last night, his uncle from Georgia will be there. What’s funny was there was a please at the end of his message. Haha! Like he was begging me to go there, but I had to say no. Sabi nia yabang ko daw, wala man lang “Merry christmas” yung text ko. I told him that’s because I was going to greet him on Christmas days. Then he said he’ll go na lang to my house before Christmas, he’ll make time for me. I turned him down again and told me I’m going out of town, which isn’t true of course. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. If I let him come then he’ll probably be here by now and won’t be leaving until Monday. And even if C is coming with him, I’m pretty sure C can’t stay that long. And I don’t want to spend that much time alone with him, not right now. Pero feeling ko ang sama ko naman. Haaay… maybe I’ll invite him na lang to go here next week. Then we’ll drink para I’ll have more drunk tales to post here. Haha!

By the way, I already started working on my shutterfly book last night and I was able to finish the collage page. I’m telling you, it wasn’t easy. I was up until five in the morning, finishing it. But it turned up nice naman. I hope I could finish more pages tonight.

I’ve finally decided what to do with my free Shutterfly book… it’s something that I’ve been wanting to do for myself and it has got something to do with the greatest love of my life. I just feel the need to do this as a closure to whatever it is that I’m still feeling for him. Yes there’s still something there and I desperately want it to go away so I could finally move on. It’ll be a series of layout with songs that will tell the story of what happened from my point of view and also based on what we’d talked about. I already have the final list of songs that I’m going to include I’m now gathering more pictures of us together and conceptualizing the pages. Of course I’m going to share it here but I think I might have to blur his photos… I’m not sure yet. I’m planning to get started with it next week so wish me luck.

And speaking of the greatest love of my life… do you guys watch Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2? Do you know Jon Avila? He reminds me so much of A! Guys like Jon are my weakness… tall, mestizo, mysterious looking and very well versed. A is like that also, except of course Jon is more handsome than him and taller and speaks better. Haha! A is also mestizo and taller than some of our friends. But what really attracted me to him is when he looks so serious… it’s like he’s deep in thought and I just wanna find out what’s on his mind. Jon Avila is also like that right? And they both have those big, gorgeous, brown eyes that’ll make you feel like you’re going to melt when they stare at you. Haha!

Anyway, sorry for the lack of update here and in my other blogs… the holidays are keeping me busy.

by Indio I

di ako makatulog ng hindi ka pinapangarap
ikaw ang laging nasa isipan
at ang akala ko minsan ika’y aking niyayakap
sa pagmulat ko ay unan lang
paano ko sasabihin sa yo
ang tunay na layunin ng puso ko

di mo lang alam ikaw ang tanging buhay ko
kung alam mo lang ikaw lang ang iniibig ko
di mo lang alam ikaw ang tanging buhay ko
kung alam mo lang ikaw lang ang iniibig ko

tuwing ako’y napapalingon isa lang aking hangarin
ikaw ang laging nasa isipan
at ang akala ko minsan kaway mo’y para sa akin
yun pala sa iyong kaibigan lang
paano ko sasabihin sa yo
ang tunay na layunin ng puso ko

di mo lang alam ikaw ang tanging buhay ko
kung alam mo lang ikaw lang ang iniibig ko
di mo lang alam ikaw ang tanging buhay ko
kung alam mo lang ikaw lang ang iniibig ko

hanggang kailan ako maghihintay
o sana’y wag habangbuhay
wag ng magduda ikaw lang ang iniibig ko
at kung akala mo hindi kita mahal ikaw na ang nananaginip

di mo lang alam ikaw ang tanging buhay ko
kung alam mo lang ikaw lang ang iniibig ko
di mo lang alam ikaw ang tanging buhay ko
kung alam mo lang ikaw lang ang iniibig ko

This song brings back a lot of good memories to me. Back in 1999, a group of my friends and I always go to Anilao just to hang out. We go there almost every weekend after work. We leave Manila on Friday nights and go back home on Sunday nights. There was no Star Tollway in Batangas yet so we travel at night to avoid traffic. Our trip would usually take about 4 hours and we would play Indio I tape over and over again and so along with the songs.

I remember that I was one of those who didn’t like cellphones, but my parents were forced to buy me one just to keep track of my whereabouts. Most of my friends and I worked in Makati that time and I would usually go home late already because I hang out with my friends after work. Then on weekends I was off to Anilao so they didn’t see pretty much of me that time.

I really really really miss going to Anilao. I don’t go there anymore because most of my friends are already in the US. There are still a couple who are still here in the Philippines but I’m not in touch with them anymore because, well they are literally a couple and you know three’s a crowd and I guess they’re busy now with their lives.

Anyway, I really like this song by Indio I. I guess not too many are familiar with Indio I. I tried looking for their cd but it’s not for sale anymore. Good thing I was able to download three of their songs from the net, Di Mo Lang Alam, Diwata, S on my Chest. Enjoy listening and hope you’ll like it.

Yep! I gave in and got my own hosting and I love it! I got mine from DreamHost and so far so good. I had a problem with my domain but they were able to help me asap. I know there are other cheaper hosting plans being offered by other companies but what I like about DreamHost is that they offer 500 GB disk storage and 5 TB bandwidth! And I really need a big storage and bandwidth cause I’m hosting all my three blogs in it. What’s more amazing is that every week, they increase my disk storage by 2 GB and my bandwidth by 40 GB. If you’re interested to sign-up with DreamHost, I’ve got a coupon code for you there at my sidebar for a discount of $50 on yearly subscriptions.

Do you still remember what your thesis is about? I remember not much anymore about my thesis. I was a BS Mathematics major and of course my thesis has got something to do with math but I don’t remember it anymore. All I can remember is that it really isn’t an interesting topic all we did was discuss the subject further than most books do and give a detailed and simplified proofs of the theorems that were covered by out topic. But we couldn’t be lazy about it and it’s not like we could hire someone from Recto to do our thesis, and I’m pretty sure they’re not even familiar with our topic.

Aren’t students these days lucky because there are already a lot of companies which offers custom writing services. A great example is Custom-Writng.org. Students can buy essay papers from them, or other custom papers, or even if they just need essay help, they can get it from there. And they can be assured that their products and services that they are receiving are unique and plagiarism free.

Oh well, life gets better and better as time goes by. I just hope that students will still take the time and effort to do their school stuff on their own and not be dependent on others. I hope that they turn to these companies just for assistance and not to completely rely on them.

AA, CO and I sometimes get together and we just talk and catch up on each other’s lives while drinking. One time AA told us a secret and he couldn’t remember the next day what he told us. So, we got into this habit of writing down what we’re saying when we’re drinking so that the next day we can read back and remember what we talked about and what was said the night before. I only have a few of those notes, since we don’t see much of each other anymore. Some are funny and some doesn’t even make sense and I want to share it with you just because. Just remember that we’re all drunk here, even the one whose taking down the notes. I’ll start with the shortest one…

13 Nov 2004

AA: Open-ended ako. Wala nang coke a.
Me: Gusto niyo pure o water? (To C:) Ano nakakatawa don?
CO: Bat pag nagno-notes ka ba nililista mo lang yung nakakatawa?
AA: Butterfly sa stomach: nararamdaman mo pag may anxiety.
AA: Hindi math yung emotions.
CO: G is a possible GF for C (100%)

Naglalakbay ang aking isip
Hanap ka ng yong sintang
Nagmamahal, nayayanig sa lamig
Naririnig ang dating himig na may lambing
Sa lilim ng damdaming ito
Sumasamo sa puso mo

Isipin ko lang ang ating nagdaang pasko
Sapat na ang pagdiriwang
Kapiling ka na tuwing sasapit ang pasko
Sa tamis ng ating suyuan

Buong liwanag ng paligid
Namamasdan kahit buwan lang ang tanging ilaw
Naghahayag laman ng aking loob

Isipin ko lang ang ating nagdaang pasko
Sapat na ang pagdiriwang
Kapiling ka na tuwing sasapit ang pasko
Sa tamis ng ating suyuan noon
Pitak ng puso ay iisang pasko

Isipin ko lang ang ating nagdaang pasko
Sapat na ang pagdiriwang
Kapiling ka na tuwing sasapit ang pasko
Sa tamis ng ating suyuan

It’s December already and in just a few more days it’ll be Christmas already! Isn’t exciting? So for the song of the week, here’s an OPM classic and hope this gets you into the holiday mood. The original version is by Kuh Ledesma and I think Ariel Rivera also recorded this song. I really love singing along this one… Enjoy listening!
