backwards

I am sorting my past entries… hay, frustrating I read a lot of grammar lapses. Eto ang problema if you are so conscious of how you write and construct sentences, you cant help but apologize for the lapses and mistakes.

Minsan naiisip ko, bakit nga ba masyado tayong conscious sa tenses, grammar, syntax, etc? Wala lng, naiisip ko lang kasi sobrang guilty ako sa ganyang ugali. naiinis ako pag nababasa ko ung gawa ko na marami palang mali. parang ano ba, bat di ko to nakita… bat di ko to naitama. Kaya nga siguro kung minsan mas pinipili nating tumahimik na lng kesa mapuna ang mga mali sa sinasabi natin.

bumabalik na naman ang mga what if scenarios… eh kasi ang dami kong gusto gawin sa buhay ko, madami din akong naiisip na what if gawin ko to… what if mangyari to sa akin… what if… what if… ang galing ko, puro na lng what if… Promise may ginagawa naman ako… sobrang pinepressure ko na nga ata sarili ko.

teka, mareklamo na ba ako? hmmm

Patalastas: Ang Urbandub may gig sa sabado, February 18, sa SaGuijo kasama ang Sugarfree at may 2 pang banda. UP Fair din this week… sayang magaganda ang lineup nung first three days… Ngayong gabi, ang nakalineup are hale, bamboo, at rivermaya.

was the last time you:

1) visited Fort Santiago?

2) walked the streets within Intramuros and visited San Agustin Church and Manila Cathedral?

3) went to Quiapo Church and had your fortune told at PHP 50?

Me? I just did that yesterday… Your turn to do those. These are just a few cheap way to take a break from the daily grind.

PS: if you have time and want a change of atmosphere at the same time learn history, go and visit Fort Santiago. Entrance fee only costs PHP 40, dont forget to ask for a brochure/map at the ticket booth. It is open from 8am to 6pm daily.

Next stop: National Museum - PHP 100 (entrance fee) Only open from Wednesday to Saturday until 430pm.

Maaga pa ako bukas… un ang plano ko. Kahit ilang oras lng, makapag-muni-muni malayo dito, mag-isa. Ewan ko, ngaung araw kay raming bagay ang bumabagabag sa akin.

Marami akong naiisip… at kung minsan di maiwasang malungkot. Uunahan ko na, di ito dahil V-day ngaun. Wala un sa listahan ng concerns ko.

Ang gusto ko lang naman… ay maging masaya at makuntento. Kung paano makuntento… at maging masaya… yan, alam ko manggagaling mismo sa akin. Hindi yan natatagpuan sa anuman… kung sinuman. Pero di ko ikinakaila na totoo, ang isang bagay or tao maaring isa sa mga factors na makakabigay ng kasiyahan at kapayapaan ng isip.

Buti na lng, andito kapatid ko na lalaki… at yung pinakamamahal kong pamangkin. Eto, nilibang ang sarili sa pagcapture ng mga images namin… at pinatulog si joaquin.

Bago ko ‘to tapusin, eto muna ang kanta na nagustuhan ko mga ilang araw na nakalipas…

First Week ni Graham Colton Band

The first time that we slept with the light on
And the sun’s coming up and we woke up on the floor
Everything that you feel that you can’t describe
Why can’t it be like the first week?

The Exit, a U.S. indie rock act, sounds like
Urbandub. Their Dont Push is a nice listen.

Here’s another welcome rehash of an old song The
Longest Time. It became a punk sound, thanks to Me
First and the Gimmes, Gimmes. I just love this
version…

If you said good-bye to me tonight
There would still be music left to write
What else could I do?
I’m so inspired by you
That hasn’t happened for the longest time

I don’t care what consequence it brings
I have been a fool for lesser things
I want you so bad
I think you ought to know that
I intend to hold you for the longest time

Though their songs seem to have similar beats, i really dont mind listening to it… Just like raised by swans, medyo magkakahawig kasi ung mga beat.

Listen to their “Best of Me” and “Ready”

I just hope this link would lead you to the band’s profile, click the band’s name lng

THE STARTING LINE

kasi the others that i have posted nacucut… hindi complete. Iayusin ko na lng ung mga un pag may oras.

Shifting to this Natasha Bedingfield song, which was used in the movie “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” - UNWRITTEN

This picks me up when I am in a bleak mood… The song is quite catchy. Actually, whenever I listen to this, I see a woman dancing in the rain. haha… complete with MTV vision ha?! I havent seen its MTV, I am sorry. So this is my anthem…

I am unwritten, can’t read my mind, I’m undefined
I’m just beginning, the pen’s in my hand, ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you can not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Here’s another song I cant stop listening to these days - Relentless by Raised by Swans

Ive been drowning in your eyes
Im helpless, helpless

And to you, feel me too
I am fading

Over ten times in a day… thats how much I love O.A.R.’s ‘Love and Memories.’

you can watch and listen to the song’s video at http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=8728843

Lovely, you’re always lovely
A vision
You were the one
Now I am stuck inside a memory
You forgot about our destiny
You buried me
Didn’t you?
Didn’t you?

You’re always floating
A vapor
That I couldn’t see
Here I am stuck inside a yesterday
Everything has given way
You fell from me
Didn’t you?
Didn’t you?
