Save Room

Say that you stay a little
Don't say bye bye tonight
Say you'll be mine
just a little of bit of love Is worth a moment of your time

knocking on your door just a little
so cold outside tonight
let's get the fire burning
I know, I keep it burning right

If you stay, won't you stay - stay

save room for my love
save room for a moment to be with me
save room for my love save a little
save a little for me
won't you save a little
save a little for me - ohh

This just might hurt a little
love hurts sometimes when you do it right
Don't be affraid of a little bit of pain
pleasure is on the other side

Let down your guard just a little
I'll keep you safe in these arms of mine
Hold on to me - pretty baby
You will see I can be all you need

If you stay, won't you stay - stay

save room for my love
save room for a moment to be with me
save room for my love save a little
save a little for me
won't you save a little
save a little for me - ohh

Ohhh come on

Make time to live a little
don't let this moment slip by tonight
you never know what you are missing untill you try
I keep you satisfied
if you stay, won't you stay - stay

save room for my love
save room for a moment to be with me
save room for my love save a little
save a little for me
won't you save a little
save a little for me - ohh

save room for love
save room for a moment to be with me
save a little, save a little for me
won't you save a little
save a little for me

been a long time

i haven't been posting. maybe it's because i'm busy... but i've been busier. maybe it's because there's nothing to write about. i'm just plain boring today-like butter on toast-everything is plain and simple.

i have realized a few things these past few weeks that allows me more peace of mind than i had before:

1. i'm a damned good writer! imagine people paying for the crap that you can write in a span of a few days. i'm pretty impressed with myself. yeah, in case you're wondering what the hell i'm doing right now, i'm giving myself a pat on the back, ala bambi!

2. people aren't so bad. life can be so cruel and knowing how bad life and people can treat you... it's just really hard to wake up having a positive outlook. being optimistic is so passe. but i have never been the type of person to bring myself down. see, the principle is that you know what you are, what you want, what you need and why. you have to keep it brewing inside of you for passion even if it is just for that day. and when you have great friends to acknowledge and maybe, even to support what you're about, life isn't so bad.

3. i want to stop the rat race. i figured this week that maybe i want to stop being so damned capricious and start focusing on one main goal. i want to stop being so oriented towards being a high-level corporate junkie and start achieving real objectives. i like my job, i love being part of this team, i am stressed in a way, but not as much as when i was working for huge companies that paid me more. now, i can pay more attention to things that matter - the people that i love.

4. i look good in a dress. how long has it been since i wore an actual dress? i have worn skirts, blousy tops, but i feel most comfortable in jeans and a loose shirt. now, since i tried fitting into this killer cream and beige dress that i need for march, i have been dying to fit into all of them. maybe it's because i lost some weight too. five months ago, i wouldn't be able to walk out of a sabella or an occasions boutique with anything ready made. now, i can actually fit into one of their dresses that actually hang as a display! yes! as a display! oh god, next stop... i'll make sure that nothing will ever fit me in faro or tubby again! :) not even extra extra small! haha!

5. my hunny loves me. that's all i know and all i need to know.

and so it goes

did you see that? that was me, flying off the roof...
flying? shouldn't you be jumping off the roof?
not when you can fly, kiddo... not when you can fly!

and so it goes, that man was found in a tree wearing a diving suit dead.

lateral thinking puzzles are fun when you know what you're dealing with. if you have no frigging idea what the hell it is you're doing, you better just stop and walk out of there.

puzzles are fun, riddles are too. again, only if you know you could win.
and so it goes, what if the riddles get you?

With You

The real me is a southern girl
With her Levi's on and an open heart
Wish I could save the world
Like I was Supergirl
The real me used to laugh all night
Lyin in the grass just talkin' bout love
But lately I've been jaded
Life got so complicated

I start thinkin' about it
I almost forgot what it was like
To know what love feels like

But with you
I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy
I know you'll catch me
Right before I hit the ground
With nothin' but a t-shirt on
I never felt so beautiful
Baby as I do now
Now that I'm with you

You speak and it's like a song
And just like that all my walls come down
It's like a private joke
Just meant for us to know

I relate to you naturally
Everybody else just fades away
Sometimes it's hard to breathe
Just knowing you found me

Cuz' I start thinkin' about it
I almost forgot what it was like
To know when it feels right

Cuz' with you
I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy
I know you'll catch me
Right before I hit the ground
With nothin' but a t-shirt on
I never felt so beautiful
Baby as I do now
Now that I'm with you

With you with you with you

Come and take me
Love you, save me
Like nobody else
Now I can be myself with you

I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy
I know you'll catch me
Right before I hit the ground
With nothin' but a t-shirt on
I never felt so beautiful
Baby as I do now
Now that I'm with you

Happy Where I Am

Today, I went to Robinson's Pioneer Mall.
It was such a long drive, it felt like I was gonna bleed to death riding in a cab. It was so inaccesible. Traffic was horrid! I was completely sleep-deprived and my brain was somewhere in lala land. I was 40 minutes late... Thanks to a long and winding and traffic jam that started from Greenhills, in Wakwak down to the entrance of Robinson's Pioneer.
That's where Accenture is.
You know, of all the crazy things I can do, I decided to accept an invitation for an interview, with Accenture's call center. I was not ready for what I saw. It was a mall! It was really a mall! As in complete with the food strip, the shops, the stores, and ta-da...the traffic. I hated being in a place where I can't even make a quick stop to the smoking area just to feel a bit relaxed before my interview.
I was confused with the floors. I was told that the Accenture office was on the 3rd level. Geezuz, how was I to know that the level is different from the third floor? There were mezzanines where you can climb up to... and the funny thing is, it was so darned hard to find.
Guess what? After a long search of where I am supposed to go to... I found the damned place. I had to look for a certain manager and it was so embarassing that I was late. But she still went on with the interview.
I didn't like it. Not the interview, but the place. It felt too crowded and I really feel like I'm gonna regret leaving iTi. From my prespective, it doesn't matter what they're offering, as long as happy where I am.

What Do Guys Like About You?

Guys Like That You're Sensitive

And not in that "cry at a drop of a hat" sort of way You just get most guys - even if you're not trying to Guys find it is easy to confide in you and tell you their secrets No wonder you tend to get close quickly in relationships!

What Do Guys Like About You?

What's Your Element?

Your Element Is Water

A bit of a contradiction, you can seem both lighthearted and serious. That's because you're good at going with the flow - but you also are deep. Highly intuitive, you tune in to people's emotions and moods easily. You are able to tap into deep emotional connections and connect with others. You prefer a smooth, harmonious life - but you can navigate your way around waves. You have a knack for getting people to get along and making life a little more peaceful.

How Powerful Are You?

Your Power Level is: 79%

You're a very powerful person, and you know that all of your power comes from within. Keep on doing what you're doing, and you'll reach your goals.

How Powerful Are You?

What Age Do You Act? (Pretty Damned Close!)

You Are 26 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

Point A to B

How do you get from point A to point B in the shortest time possible?
Draw a straight line?
Find a short cut?
Ask someone to give you directions?
Beg a cab driver to get you there?

Of all the crazy maniacal things that you can do, assuming that the shortest distance between point A and B is the finest straightest line you can draw is probably not the best thing. A straight line doesn't allow you the courage to fight for everyday as you go along. A supposedly familiar context would be to stop and smell the roses as you go along, and even that doesn't make sense.

In a world polluted by time-constraints, did you ever stop to wonder if you want some detours?

Here's looking at you, kid...

My Anime Me

The Portrait



An Anime Caricature of Me...

The Anime Craze

I had nothing to do, so I scoured around Friendster to find the best and most popular profiles. Here's what I found...

96% of the profiles were of women.
98% of these women are located in Asia - turns out only Asia goes gaga over Friendster.
100% of them are showing cleavage, a butt crack or wearing a sexy top that shows their ample bossoms with their long anime-like hair covering framing their young faces. Now, that is child pornography! Or not... it really depends. See, some of the women were over 18 years old. That means, they had consent to be photographed as such, or have photographed themselves looking like that! I even came across a profile that featured a girl holding up her cellphone to a mirror while taking a picture of her body clad only in her undies and brassiere! And flimsy ones too! (Yeah, ask me where it is, lads... I'm sure you're all gonna drool over it!)

Apparently, we have become a society that obsesses over anime-like characters. Ethereal, angelic faces with a lot of hidden sensuality there. Yup... Maybe I should ride on...

Here's my anime character... Enjoy!

Half Crazy

Know I havent slept a week at all
Since you've been gone
And my eyes are kinda tired
From crying all night long
Know I've never been too good at cooking just for one
It's so lonely here without you darling
Come back home

'Cause I'm half crazy
Feelin' sorry for myself
Half crazy
Worried you'd find someone else to love

Know life hasnt been much fun at all
Since you've been gone
And my eyes begin to fill
Each time I hear our song
I spent every minute asking myself
What went wrong
Can't we try to talk it over baby
Come back home

'Cause I'm half crazy
Feelin' sorry for myself
Half crazy
Worried you'd find someone else to love
But baby there is no-one else
Half crazy
For everything you saying
Half crazy
No one else could love you like I do

(break)

'Cause I'm half crazy
Feelin' sorry for myself
Half crazy
Worried you'd find someone else to love
But baby there is no-one else
Half crazy
For everything you saying
Half crazy
No one else could ever love you
No one else could ever be

Half crazy
Feeling sorry for myself
And I'm worried you'll find someone else
Feeling sorry for myself
Half Crazy (faded)


This is definitely worth posting. Ü

Questioning Fate

I had a great time just vegging out. I am sooo laaazy! Oh god, I think I gained 50 pounds just by not doing anything... well, not entirely true. I was a bit busy researching for my article. And guess what? I get to do another one! I'm so happy! My article actually got published! People really pay to see my crap! And guess what? It's not any kind of nonsense that I used to do. Dear, this is a parenting article! A parenting article that is all about keeping your family close. I can't believe that I actually can write. Haha!

I'm now back in the office with almost no lessons (yeah, good luck with the money later on!) and people have been calling me left and right for an interview. Where were you guys when I got myself kicked out of the Indian looney bin?! Oh well, so I have prime candidates for who I'm supposed to be with, but I really need some time. See, one huge factor for me is that I get to do the things I enjoy now, like learning how to cook and so on, over other things like being on-call 24-7. I mean...the reason why I didn't become a doctor is because I hate not having a life (that and the fact that I don't wanna ask for more money)... so why do I even get jobs that ask me to be on a 24 hour shift? I am not gonna settle for that anymore!

This is probably gonna sound crazy but I really feel like I'll be contented with being with the man that I love. Sure I'm still edgy, but I think there's just too much honesty in being with my man that I can't be happy with anything else.

I'm not questioning fate anymore... I just want him by my side.
