Addict, Schmaddict Part 2

Now I remember why I was this obsess to watch Meteor Garden!

One time last year on the way to the FX station in Ayala, I got this strange heavy feeling. I mean, I was so depressed for no apparent reason! And then I realized I was listening to “Broken Vow” on my iPod and, Oh My God! I was thisclose to crying! Since then I never listened to “Broken Vow” when I’m alone. But it sure brought back memories of Meteor Garden.

Tell me her name
I want to know
The way she looks
And where you go
I need to see her face
I need to understand
Why you and I came to an end

Tell me again
I want to hear
Who broke my faith in all these years
Who lays with you at night
When I'm here all alone
Remembering when I was your own

I let you go
I let you fly
Why do I keep on asking why
I let you go
Now that I found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow

Tell me the words I never said
Show me the tears you never shed
Give me the touch
That one you promised to be mine
Or has it vanished for all time

I let you go
I let you fly
Why do I keep on asking why
I let you go
Now that I found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow

I close my eyes
And dream of you and I
And then I realize
There's more to love than only bitterness and lies
I close my eyes

I'd give away my soul
To hold you once again
And never let this promise end

I let you go
I let you fly
Now that I know I’m asking why
I let you go
Now that I found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow

Addict Schmaddict

The stupid things a person would do to satisfy her addictions…

What sort of madness is it to stay up until 3 in the goddamn morning just to watch Season 1 of Meteor freakin’ Garden?! And to actually do that on a Monday when the bosses from NY are coming in for a series of discussions and meetings for the next two days?

That sort of madness is mine – and it comes with a really, really bad case of headache. Gosh, it hurts like hell.

But I have no regrets, because I’m so happy and so in love right now, all because of Meteor Garden! Ang babaw at ang jologs, but who cares?!

I really don’t know what’s gotten into me, but I have been dying to rewatch the series since about 4 months ago but couldn’t find the tagalized versions (I was actually late in joining the mania when it happened a few years ago, when I get to watch the reruns during weekends, and I got hooked so bad. But I haven’t watched both seasons in their entirety). The yearning to watch grew intense and unbearable last Thursday so I went to MCS last Friday to buy the subtitled copies. Mind you, the English translations were crappy, and I think it contributed more to my headache than the lack of sleep, but I still got the gist of the story. (And Dao Ming Si and Hua Tzi Lei still look all kinds of cute and hot even with the language barrier.)

Anyway, I really want to discuss the show in details (like anyone would bother reading about a, what? 5-year old TV show?) but I’ll do it some other time when my head is clearer and when the urge to go eeeee! has subsided. But I think I’m gonna start watching the season 2 later! I must really be out of my mind…

[This is actually a call for help. I’m about to lose my head (and heart and soul and being) completely over Dao Ming Si. Somebody kill me now!]

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - JULY 21 NA!!!

I interrupt my hiatus from this blog to say that I'm so, so, SO HAPPY to hear the news about the release of Harry Potter book 7!!!

I'm excited, but a little bit sad, that the series is about to end. And I'm glad that I was able to persuade two more people about how fantastic the Harry Potter books are! Actually, I just lend my copies, but full credit still goes to J.K. Rowling for writing the books. =)

I'll be the first in line when Powerbooks starts accepting reservations! Woo hoo! =)

Quietus.

[updates on my blog soon! promise =)]

It's Complicated

Why do some things feel so [not wrong, but] awkward?

Maybe deep inside I've always wanted a texbook love story - like the stuffs I've seen in movies or read about in books.

Not like this.

And then I keep on hoping there'll be another chance in the future, another day for me to start over again.

But the moment passed me by...

Now I'm waiting again for things to go my way.

Now I'm waiting for my fairy tale.

Excuses

I want to believe that it doesn't really matter, being a really witty writer and all [bwahahaha! joke!], but I want my blog to have a really neat, cool layout. And I hate, hate how my blog looks like.

But you know how it goes, busy, yadda, yadda, so no time to tinker with the html.

Now my blog is pink. Not really my best color, but I hope it gives my blog a bit of a personality.

Or not.

[Aaw...]

Not to keep people out...


But to see...




Who cares enough to break them down just to be with you..."

  • Upside Down [Two Minds Crack]
  • Lost In You [Ash]
  • Till I Hear It From You [Gin Blossoms]
  • All I Want [Toad The Wet Sprocket]
  • You Get What You Give [New Radicals]
