Oo
This is my current fave… It has a snappy, jazzy feel that I love to listen to it over and over again - Up Dharma Down’s “Oo.” Besides its addicting beat, it has a nice lyrics… Okay, just because I can relate… Haha, i consider it nice. Bleeh!!! Pero seriously, it’s a nice listen.
These are my favorite lines from ‘Oo’ (because I find it funny):
Kung alam ko lang ako’y masasaktan ng ganito
Sana’y nakinig na lang ako sa nanay ko
The other song I love listening to over and over again is The Killers’ “Smile Like You Mean It.” And these are my favorite lines from that song:
Save some face
You know you only got one
Change your ways
And Nouvelle Vague’s version of “I Melt With You.” Very nice…
Some spur of the moment thing whenever I feel sleepy… (weird I write when I am sleepy)
Only a few people understand my traveling vice. Even at home, I think they don’t really like the idea that I spend a lot on traveling.
Whenever Mama would start to complain about how my younger sis splurge on beauty stuffs, I would tell her that she is lucky to have a daughter like me who doesnt bother to buy makeup and beauty stuffs. I am the least vain among the three of us sisters. My only vanity is getting a nice haircut. Anyway, whenever I say that, Mama would reply, “Oo nga pero magastos ka naman sa pagtravel-travel.”
Whenever I feel I am not at my best, I have to see something new… hurl myself to a new place. A change of atmosphere makes me think and helps me clearly assess whatever I am facing.
However, I feel like the wanderlust magic has lost its touch. No this doesnt mean I have lost my zeal for traveling… it’s just that I find myself thinking that taking myself somewhere unfamiliar won’t heal me… won’t bring me to answers I have been looking for.
Still, I am contemplating going somewhere again. I still dont know where… Definitely somewhere south… I am even considering visiting Iloilo, hoping that the familiarity and homeliness would make me whole again.
