Summer Sounds

Haha, I think I am somewhat intoxicated by the sounds of summer, for lately, I have been nothing short of being addicted to club music such as the feel-good Milky's Just The Way You Are, Bonnie Bailey's new hit, Kingdom of Pretty and Tiesto feat Andain's Beautiful Things. The Pink Life somehow reminds me of the beach, and whenever I feel stressed out, I just open my media player and click the playlist I so enjoy listening to right now, and it immediately takes me to where I want to be, as I hear the waves welcome me to their tropical paradise. Drat , when will I ever stop daydreaming? Ever since I started going to the beach last year, a part of me just felt..drawn to it. Forever.

Tomorrow's Labor Day, but I think dad's making me work. I think I don't mind at all. Just the thought that it's gonna be a Holiday is relaxing enough. Haha, the mind is a wonderfully strong tool. :)

So anxious to watch Spiderman 3 this Saturday with my bestfriends!

Here's to more charm bracelets ( that I'm currently addicted, that I might soon collect ), getting confused between getting a new laptop or mobile phone, classic Super Mario Brother games at nintendo8.com, and the soothing sounds of summer. May summer never end. I know in my heart, it will forever be summer. :)

My Weekend in the South

I just got home from my trip to the South. Ahh...the South of the metropolis - Alabang, how I love the laid-back, relaxing atmosphere that makes you forget about all your worries, specially work-related ones. The place itself is a massage to my aching shoulders and worn out body. This weekend sure was a treat to me, as I met up with my college buddies, whom I haven't seen for a long time. It's been months since I have seen them, since they are quite busy with their lives in law school ( burning the midnight oil with books so many that they can put up a library already ), while I am drowning in work, and pushing my way to my first million as an entrepreneur. Oh, with my spending habits, I don't know :)


Mike and I somehow got lost on our way to Angel's. We were in total shock, and alarm when we saw that the Filinvest Exit was CLOSED, and we had to drive to the Susana Heights exit to turn around. We almost went for Calamba! Hahaha! Goodness. Imagine two people from Quezon City driving for hours ( well, it was he who drove ), to go further than Alabang. Quite frustrating, with the roads pretty dark and creepy. Good thing it only took us a good 15 minutes or I would have complained. Hahaha!

When we got to Angel's house, and picked her up, we immediately went for California Pizza Kitchen at Alabang Town Center to get our Italian food fix. God, that drive got me so hungry, that I ended up eating alot ( I am soooo insane for their tomato basil spaghettini and chicken bbq salad. their four cheese pizza was a total yumyum too! ), and I think I looked pregnant after eating that much. Such a pigout for moi. Hahaha! We went to Powerbooks to check out the books on sale, and I got books for my baby sisters Sugar ( Harry Potter - the Half Blood Prince, which she was pleading me to buy her months ago ) and Sunshine ( a Betty & Veronica double digest which she so loves reading ), while I got Negosyo, a business book for myself. Maybe I'd get inspired all over, to pursue all of my dreams. God, I need to be motivated! We were so pressed with time that I wasn't able to teach Angel on how to apply eye makeup, but I promised her that I would, given that I was free. Mike and Angel teased me mercilessly about being their princess. Well,it's fun to play along!

The serious talk, started when we settled at a spot in the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf shop. Angel started laying out her tarot cards and read about me. It further clarified my issues with that person, but I don't know if it was another case of false hope presented to me. I'm just so in denial right now. Mike, on the other hand, got some enlightenment and pushing from both of us to do, or not do something. I'm sure he's gonna find the girl of his dreams someday. Angel on the other hand, needed to realize her potential, well, not just potential but FULL potential according to my cards. The "emperor" will be in full view next time, I so hope.

The evening had to come to an end because I was needed home. Oh well, here's to more weekends in the south and soul-enriching conversations with my friends.

Smack That. :)

Don't Know What To Feel

Lately has been nothing but stressful for me. The scorching summer heat further adds up to the stress that I have been feeling, and I don't know if what I'm doing is really productive, or something else. I want, really want to do alot of things. I've tons of website ideas, and I am hoping to launch them soon, I want to improve my beauty business, and I also want to do more shopping. Shopping. Ahh...speaking of which, I am planning to shop for alot of new stuff again when I remember that I shouldn't be -instead, I must be saving for my future. My entrepreneurial spirit, and thinking wherein my money is in my capital that explains the justification for my spending habits must really be stopped. I need, need to save starting now for my trips abroad next year! Argh.

I just want to do so much but I only have one pair of hands, and one body. I don't know what to do next. What frustrates me is sometimes, that my efforts can be unmatched because of my hyper-ness and really go-go attitude when I start something.

Argh. When will I ever have a stress free day. No more time to smile, no more time to feel. Should I have reason to?

Mr. Darcy : My Idea of Bliss

oh, Mr. Darcy!


Ever since I have watched Bridget Jones' diary, I have been taken away by the character of Colin Firth, Mr. Darcy. Yes, he might be perceived as the snobbish,quiet elite with horrible fashion taste ( thus , the ridiculous sweater ), but when he loves someone like Bridget, the icy facade of his being thaws, and reveals a warm, passionate man in love. The intensity of the eyes, and the quiet demeanor on how he professes his love just drives me wild. Oh, see? I like both Mr. Darcy and Colin Firth!


and another Mr. Darcy!

A few nights ago, I watched Pride and Prejudice. Mr. Darcy turned out to be the protagonist in Jane Austen's Novel, and further inspired Helen Fielding to incorporate the character Mr. Darcy in Bridget Jones. Matthew Macfayden starred as Mr. Darcy here ( I never got to watch the version wherein Colin Firth starred as Mr. Darcy ), and I must say, I love love love the story! A man high in society falls in love with someone he considers of "inferior" in terms of birthright and wealth, and in the end, he brings down all his defenses and gives his heart to Lizzie, his ladylove. I love how he said I love you to her, using the word "ardently". No one ever uses this word anymore. " I ardently love you," or "I love you most ardently." Haha. Anyway,this further inspired me to rummage the heaps of books that I haven't finished reading to look for my paperback of Pride and Prejudice. Drat. I just realized I havent finished a decent book for the past few months because of work. Work in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Oh well,I hope work brings me to Boracay sometime soon. I crave for it. I miss it. I can feel it telling me that the memory I had there with someone is something not to be dismissed like what I am doing.

Maybe it's just that I don't feel his presence. One click away, and I'm there, but he just refuses to satisfy this hunger in my soul. I've moved on , alright, I just wanna go to my beautiful beach again.

*On another note , another swoonworthy line from Matthew McFayden from Pride and Prejudice,

" You have bewitched me body and soul and I love, love love you. I never wish to be parted from you again."

Snow in the Sahara

There's just something about this song that gives such allure to my senses. The figures of speech are so beautiful, that the lyrics of the song just take me somewhere exotic, like the setting of Arabian nights, or a place in time where gypsies are dancing in wild abandon , with their loves, under the desert moon. The song seems magical, like a goddess watching her mortal beloved. Gosh, with the music coupled with the lyrics, I just love it. :) I just might be someone extremely romantic in my past life, I just don't know what kind :)

Snow in the Sahara ( Anggun )

Only tell me that you still want me here
When you wander off out there
To those hills of dust and hard winds that blows
In that dry white ocean alone

Lost out in the desert
You are lost out in the desert

But to stand with you in a ring of fire
I'll forget the days gone by
I'll protect your body and guard your soul
From mirages in your sight

Lost out in the desert ...

If your hopes scatter like the dust across your track
I'll be the moon that shines on your path
The sun may blind our eyes I'll pray the skies above
For snow to fall on the sahara
If that's the only place where you can leave your doubts
I'll hold you up and be your way out
And if we burn away I'll pray the skies above
For snow to fall on the sahara

Just a wish and iI will cover your shoulders
With veils of silk and gold
When the darkness comes and darkened your heart
Leaving you with regrets so cold

If your hopes scatter like the dust across your track
I'll be the moon that shines on your path
The sun may blind our eyes I'll pray the skies above
For snow to fall on the sahara
If that's the only place where you can leave your doubts
I'll hold you up and be your way out
And if we burn away I'll pray the skies above
For snow to fall on the sahara

Lost out in the desert

Oh, Really Now

A Series of Heart Stopping Events

For a month that was, this was one of the greatest months ( take note : March 2007 ) in my life - and a series of heart stopping moments have been trailing me, waiting for me to have a heart attack. No, really.

I remember the special person I met while I was on vacation a month ago. It was so surreal - with my intoxicated self got friendly for the first time with someone and the memories - ah , so sweet, so aching that I prefer to leave them in the past. For a few weeks now, I've started to have this "emotional purging" wherein his face, and the memory of him started withering away , thank God, since I did want to move on, but then awhile ago, while shopping for some toiletries, my heart stopped. The song that was playing while we danced last month - that was the song that I have forgotten, and don't even know the title of. Until now, I don't know if I could ever track the song.

God knows my heart stopped when I first saw him. God, he was just so beautiful. Happened the second time , as I reminisce the song.

Another God knows moment, that my heart started beating again, and started to reminisce and smile all by myself. It's silly, really.

So that's two heart-stopping moments already. One heart-stopping moment happened to me a week ago. Let's just say that this thing that occured, was out of my expectations, and even wildest dreams. It's about someone that I've liked for nearly a year already. The action, was a year late. His offer, last year, I regretfully passed up because I was too drunk to even be rational enough and say "yes", but almost a year later, the unexpected happened, and he said that to me again ( okay, don't think of anything malicious here , noo malice at all, I think I'm the most wholesome person on earth though I don't look like it LOL! ), and yes, my drunken state was better this time that I didn't dare pass it up. Up to this day, I could not believe he did that. Those words he uttered, were simply heart-stopping, like I almost wanted to fall on my butt. That was me being gutsy enough to understand and accept that I deserved it, for the first time in my life. No more regrets. I never want to regret that I didn't do this, or I didn't do that. Never again.

These heart-stopping moments last March were indeed life-changing, that led me to believe that I'm still alive, and I deserve some good things in this world. But really, it's getting biological that my heart is skipping too darn fast that I might be rushed to the ER soon! :)

But , I wouldn't mind more heart-stopping moments. :) Wouldn't trade them for anything in this world :)
