Of Lost Love and Friendship

2011-10-23T10:39:00.002+08:00

Some people say that when two friends get too close, they may end up falling in love with each other, or in a more dramatic situation, one may end up falling for the other. The latter situation though, hits closer to home! I always wonder if I have this large mark on my forehead that says, "Girl Friend Material" (take note, it's not the one word 'girlfriend'). In fact, one of my girl friends

Waiting for the love that may never come

2011-10-23T10:32:00.001+08:00

I was debating with myself a while ago on whether I should write about this sudden thoughts I have or not... I was half way on deciding not to when I decided to scroll on @ispeakfemale's tweet trying to look for quotes to update my facebook status (which I change like tons of times) and I came across this one specific tweet, "It's not that I don't believe in love. I'm a very strong believer in

I Got You

2011-10-17T11:09:00.002+08:00

I. When you're down, flat on the ground Can't see nothing, can't hear no sound Don't be lonely, don't feel sorry Got your back now, don't you worry * (So) Get up fight back Get back on track Hold on, stay strong With me by your side We'll ride through the tides II.

I. We’re sharing same old storyThat one sad and tragic historyWe’re singing an ancient songThe one that’s always wrongStill dancing to that broken beatThough it’s giving us weary feet *Why can’t we just move on?Why do we keep on holding on?Trying to put the pieces back togetherWhen we both know it would no longer matter *That’s why… we’re running in this endless raceKeeping up our own familiar

Of Books and Life

2010-09-21T10:22:00.004+08:00

It always occur to me how wonderful life is if it would always end up the way the books I'm reading eventually ends; which by the way most of the time have this '...and they live happily ever after' kind of ending. Yeah, it sounds ideally fantastic but logically unrealistic! I mean come on, who was I kidding? I know that not all things that I've came across

KASAGUTAN

LOVE IS... UNPREDICTABLE

2010-04-19T12:40:00.001+08:00

So this is my first attempt to write some lyrics... yeah just lyrics! I'm only scribbling some lyrics coz sadly I don't know how to "construct" some great-O-melody or tune to turn my poems; this time my lyrics into a real song...

DEFEATING FAILURE

2010-03-12T15:05:00.001+08:00

Last tuesday was one despairing turning point in my more than twenty years of existence! Call it hunch or intuition but I know beforehand that something would go wrong on that day; and unluckily I turned out to have a good one (hunch). "Miss, is looking for you!", a classmate/close friend of mine told me (he was referring to our dean's secretary). That one-liner alone told me

FINE DINING EXPERIENCE “PERD + Fine Dining=Mixed Thoughts” Yes, this was indeed my initial reaction upon learning from Dr. Lupango that we will finally experience Fine Dining firsthand. I have heard tales and stories from friends regarding their personal experiences on Fine Dining; and in all fairness, most of them said that they enjoyed it. Fine Dining in its "REAL" sense examples of

As a saying goes, “If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies.” From the smallest creature, to every flora and fauna, to the tiniest particle of the matter, and to each human being, we all do undergo change; it may be in form, size, shape, and behavior. Change is indeed inevitable. Every thing in this world, living or not, changes or has to change in order to serve its

He has a face that could turn heads. He stands at a towering height of five feet and 10 inches. He exudes confidence when he walks. He’s friendly and approachable, a lady’s man perhaps. He has this irresistible charm that you just can’t simply turn down. He has an appeal that could draw every woman’s attention… and I wasn’t an exemption! The first time I met him in the flesh was during one of
