After a quick road trip outside the metro, im spending the rest of the long weekend chillin at home with my urban family --- it's so nice to be living on your own and still be part of an urban family. Here's me and my "sis" Koween. :-)

in-toxic-ated

i hate having my schedules changed, especially by circumstances beyond my control.

Fuck all this sh*t. Despite what you say, it's still MY life.

i wish i can just disappear from the face of the earth whenever i feel like it.

+ + +

I want to change things right NOW. dammit.

oooh, la zsa zsa!

mmmwah!

Watched Zsa Zsa Zaturnnah Ze Musical with dear friend Psychicpants* last Sunday (my first, his 8th time to watch it) and it was so much fun i had a smile permanently fixed on my facec the entire time!!! Of course, the icing on the cake to this whole shebang was having the creator Carlo Vergara sitting next to us througout the enntire show, also enjoying the stage production of his amazing work. Got to have my pic taken with the show's Didi (Zsa zsa's super funnie sidekick) i just loved his performance!!!


*Pao, thanks for the invite!!! You are such a dearie!
Congrats sa scholarship, laddie!

The persistence of your presence
is as noisy as the sound of the ringing of my phone
triggering a silent alarm in my head.

You should have never given me that drink
I never knew it could be so potent
I should have never said yes
I didn't know what i was getting into
You should have never called me
I never would have said maybe
you shouldn't have said you missed me
i could have resisted you so easily

+ + +

Realising our dynamic was my bane
and reassessing this made me stronger
yet in the wee hours of our reacquaintance
i find myself smiling
as i gaze into your sleeping face

Last Song Syndrome

FIRST OF SUMMER
UrbanDub (G. ALIPE, J. DINOPOL, R. LIM, J. MENDOZA)

Parked car
This night sky
Makes city lights shine like diamonds
our song plays on the radio.

We’re living it up
Make this night ours
We own the world
I wish this lasts forever
Alone with you tonight
Further in you feels so right.

I’m giving it up and just a little more
This heartfelt leap I surrender
With arms raised tonight.

Drive me away
cuz the night just feels right
take me away with you tonight
anywhere with you.

Our song plays on…
Parked car, night sky
Alone with you tonight…

the week that was

"Getting to know you" was never this easy, and never this complicated.

+ + +

Mojitos with an queasy stomach is never a good combo. I'll opt for some good ol' McNuggets and coffee instead.

+ + +

I think i am getting in way over my head. Stop stop the room from spinning.

I can't seem to.

Pass the shot, please.

+ + +

In the darkness i can be happy. I can hide my fears and doubts within its crevices and keep the reason at bay.

+ + +

Out of the blue you say hello. WTF!? Is this some form of post-holy week fun for you?

Dammit. I was always a sucker for a sweet smile and an impish grin.

+ + +

"beware the lover, he will abstract your love"

I'm already jaded. This advice is way too late.

Another saturday night...

hung over

the unbearable lightness of being
proves to me
that the world
is just too fucked up
sometimes

*beep*

sudden change of plans ruin mine. WTF!?!

People should just say what they want straight up. NO buts, ifs and umms about it.

Life's too short for this kind of shit.

+ + +

every little thing
that you say or do
i'm hung up
i'm hung up on you
waiting for your call,
baby, night and day
i'm fed up
i'm tired of waiting on you...

+ + +

in between shoots...

... i manage to log on.

+ + +

A young man sits nearby while i smoke my cigarette. His posture is tense, and on his lap lies a bouquet of white roses, which he picks up once in a while to check out. Is it wilting? He's been there for a while now. I wonder if his date stood him up.

Awww. I miss getting flowers.

+ + +

The day is nearly done and we're only a quarter done of our list. Dammit. Those cakes look real good though :-P mmmm... am craving something dark and chocolate-y.

+ + +

I remember when stuff like these thrilled the hell out of me. Now it's just giving me one big headache.

karting fever

at Fork's opening last night, i got to try out karting in full gear for the first time. Never mind the DOM encounter(eeow), the inappropriate footwear (boots!?!) and my inability to drive for real (no license here), those 12 minutes of pure adrenalin and sheer fun made up for it. Damn, my arms are so weak now. :-P

Social Swarming chuva

Saguijo rocked with Ninja Kiss Prod's prod with bands like Bagetsafonik and Sandwich bringing down the house!


Fasyon! It's Flip Gear's launch @ Embassy ---kudos to Carlos for giving me the heads up on the event ;-) Cheers, y'all!

started as a monday...

...but felt like a friday. or a saturday. Hmmm. what's wrong with this picture?

Checking out MM's finest in avant arde designs as well as peering in first into a beachin' line fo clothing sounded something i should be doing on the weekend, not on a Monday. But hell, it's fashion week, and as they say,fasyon! never dies.

So armed with new shoes (which, btw, were NOT a good buy, pretty as they may be), my new dress (lovely shade of spring), and a gal pal in hand (we were only too happy to chill and have a few free drinks!), we caught the show halfway into its end.

Social swarming eludes my desire to be anonymous as we saw old college mates, familiar (?) faces and well, new friends.
Booze, good sounds and great people made the night a lot better than we first assumed it would be. The night ends with some good ol' dancing, some tipsy-ness (no phone fiasco, thank you!) and a sweet ride home. The only question ihad for the night, aside from why did Sandwich only belt out two songs, was:

Where did my ziggies go???

Damn.

+ + +

Nightcap of music, jamming and some lovely motorcycle ogling at Blueridge. ahhh, ce'st la vie.

Strains of "the way you look tonight" just heightens the melancholy mood set by a lovely view of Marikina and a few beers.

+ + +

in communicado

The mad rush of the water against my hands momentarily clears me of my drunken state. I stare at my cellphone, lazily floating away in the sink before i realize what a complete idiot i was to put it down beside the faucet. Damn damn damn. Its lights flicker momentarily before succumbing to its untimely death.

Damn. damn. damn.

+ + +

I found temporary refuge in your arms. Last night's fiasco still permeates a bit while i slept, yet your company kept it at bay.

The morning came and with it, my memories. Damn. damn. damn.

+ + +

No chance to speak or talk about what's done. *sigh* at This point, i don't even know how to bring it up. Yet in our silence we find a common ground. What is, is. Whatever the hell THAT is.

:-(

All the sadness in the world cannot surmount mine at this time...
