gravity

you truly are gravity..

i must say, i'm falling in love with sara bareilles. i first took notice of her first song to hit the airwaves - "love song." i thought i should listen to the rest of her songs. it was then that my love affair with her voice started. hers is a voice reminiscent of the soothing tori amos sounds and the melancholy sarah mclachlan's.

one of the tracks in her album - gravity - is now one of my favorites. the melody, the lyrics and the mix of tenderness, sadness, and hope in this song is pure genius and is hitting me right on the spot.
i searched on youtube for different versions of the song and i found this.

Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone.

You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.

Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.

You loved me 'cause I'm fragile.
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone.

Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.

I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you're everything I think I need here on the ground.
But you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go.
The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down

ciao.

papunta sa CR, nasabi ko sa isang ka-opisina: "ganyan talaga, people leave"

and then, KABOOM! nasabi ko siya. hindi ko man lang naisip pero nasabi ko.

kasi mga apat na oras bago ko nasabi yun, binagsakan kami ng bomba ng boss ko (dept head namin). magre-resign na raw siya. una hindi kami naniwala kasi mahilig siya (kami) magtarantaduhan. oo, katarantaduhan namin boss namin. kaya lalong mas mahirap isipin na kung kelan ako mas natutuwa sa trabaho ko, may panibago nanamang aalis.

sabi ko noon, mahirap maghanap at kumuha ng trabaho. pero napagisip-isip ko, mas mahirap makahanap ng mga katrabahong kagaanan mo ng loob. lahat kami sa department, masaya, bonding, maingay, mayabang, loko-loko, mapagbiro. pero lahat din kami sa department, nagagawa at natatapos ang trabaho, marunong sumunod, at lahat din kami responsable. sa totoo lang, ang department namin ang pinakamasaya at pinakamagaling sa buong kumpanya. ehem ehem. sabi sayo mayabang kami eh. pero seryosong usapan, yung paggalaw namin at ang mga nagawa namin bilang isang grupo ay dahil din kay bosing. wala akong masabi. when it comes to work and human relations, isa siya sa mga nasa top 5 ko.

kaya ayun. nagtapos ang linggo sa modang malungkot. pero dasal ko naman ang patuloy niyang paglago at pagtatagumpay bilang entrepreneur at bilang tao.

eto pala siya.
ang angas no? maangas talaga yan. pero walang katulad yan!
yan si vins, aka bosing. si charles, nauna nang umalis nung october. at si bry... ano kaya... hahahaha

bosing, saludo ako sayo! pero inuman muna bago ka umalis! haha!

happy birthday rr!

from all of us!

1. m'bunch has fleas. that explains the tiny red dots on my feet -- and it itches like mother.

2. gemma tied the knot na. gela, alec, ethel, jhence, pam, grace, ruffa, and mike were there.

3. karen and drew dropped by my house to watch dvd and take pictures. i wonder what drew and karen's relationship status is... sabi ng friendster -- it's complicated. =P

4. ate at amici again last sunday with sha and jd. haay sarap talaga.


and oh, i'm not suicidal.

ciao!

37th floor

i'm on the 37th floor. everything seems so small. all the things that didn't make sense before are now part of a bigger picture. the street that i call home is now just a strip of lights no bigger than my palm. the building that i always look up to are now almost just half my size.

i'm on the 37th floor. i have nothing but the strong winds blowing through my face and my hair. i don't like the fact that it messes my hair. but up here, everything seems so calm and quiet.

im on the 37th floor. i can hear nothing but the faint sounds of the bustling streets just below me. what used to be busy people crossing the streets are but moving specks of colors dotting the area below.

i'm on the 37th floor. what would it feel to be falling 37 storeys down? what would i think about? what kind of rush would that be? how fast am i gonna hit the earth?

ciao!

i am afraid to come home though i think i am stronger. when i do, i realize that everything is the same as if i've never been far away - it's as if time has stood still.

yet, when i look around, i don't recognize anyone, anything at all.

the same chairs, the same trees, the same bed, the same faces - they are mere ghosts.

coming home is not homecoming. but still i wish for it be so.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YURI!

yosi chronicles

kanina, habang nagyoyosi ako sa harap ng opisina, may dumaang batang babae sa harap ko.
may dala dala siyang dalawang malalaking supot na halos kalahati na ng kanyang katawan sa laki. mga tinapay yung nasa kanan tapos yung nasa kaliwa, di ko na nakita ng mabuti. habang naglalakad siya, napansin ko halos igapang niya na yung isa niyang paa. tumigil siya sandali sa harap ko ng hindi ako pinapansin. tapos tumungo siya sandali.

sira pala yung isa niyang tsinelas.

binaba niya yung malalaking supot na dala niya tapos sinubukan niyang ayusin yung tsinelas niya. nagulat ako pero matapos ang ilang sandali, tumuloy na siya sa kanyang lakad, dala-dala ang dalawang malalaking supot habang ginagapang ng isa niyang paa ang tsinelas na sira.

yun ang isa sa mga panahon na sumakit ang dibdib ko ng dahil sa sitwasyon ng iba.
naisip ko, ang arte arte ko sa katawan. naisip ko ang dami dami kong reklamo sa mga bagay-bagay. naisip ko, ang swerte swerte ko pa rin pala.
pero panandalian lang yun kasi nasundan agad ng pagsisisi. paano ko nagawang maging masaya dahil sa nakakaangat ako sa ibang tao?

ang sakit kung isipin.

audiophile

having an ipod made me somewhat an audiophile. it's also great that i got one because when i'm at home, i can turn the music really loud until my furniture is vibrating with every bass beat. now, i wanna get a new set of speakers. or theater system. that's if i have enough money. lol.

it's addicting, too, because i almost always feel the need to scour the net for albums - popular or unheard of. na-aapreciate ko na rin ang mga ibang genre of music that i wouldn't normally listen to. medyo matagal na rin to sakin so i was able to fill up up to 4G na rin. but about 60 percent of that are movies hehe.. any suggestions for me to download? albums or artists that you like? sigh...

in other news, every saturday since last week, i'm attending the Dale Carnegie Course. On the bright side, my work schedule was moved to tuesday to saturday, so going to class wouldn't be a drag. plus, since work during saturdays isn't really that much, i won't get bored easily.

sharing time. since we are on the topic of being an audiophile, let me share to you part of my homework about defining moments in one's life. you can choose not to listen, though hehehe.

ciao!
