I was browsing over AppStore when I saw this game that makes me buy it without thinking. Brings back good memories with my friends when we were so addicted to it. I miss Makati days!!!

A lot like that!

A few days back, I was walking from the MRT station to my place (I always like this moment where I get to walk without rushing to reach my destination) and I get to assess what had happened, where I am, and where I want to be.

There was a nagging feeling deep inside me which up to now I cannot fathom where it was coming. There seems to be something different yet familiar, something strange yet feels like home. I shrugged it off for the past few days and continued with work. I was so busy this week that I get to shake it off.

Tonight, I went out with my friends for dinner and we were discussing some personal things which made me realize what was that nagging feeling. There was this absence of courage, I am afraid of something, something different yet familiar, something strange yet feels like home. Something a lot like that!

Almost Lover

iTunes was shuffling and it played A Fine Frenzy’s Almost Lover. I get to count the days and it was almost 4 years the first time I heard this song! Ditse sent it to me before I leave for SG, she said it fits me that time.

Isa lang masasabi ko, I remember the song but I don’t remember the feelings anymore! hahaha! pun intended!

Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind, images
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes, clever trick

Well, I’d never want to see you unhappy
I thought you’d want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I’m trying not to think about you
Can’t you just let me be?

So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should’ve known you’d bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me in the shade
And when you left you kissed my lips
You told me you would never ever forget these images, no

Well, I’d never want to see you unhappy
I thought you’d want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I’m trying not to think about you
Can’t you just let me be?

So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should’ve known you’d bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot try the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind

So you’re gone and I’m haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy to walk
Right in and out of my life?

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I’m trying not to think about you
Why can’t you just let me be?

So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should’ve known you’d bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

It’s the Love Month

Excerpt from the movie “The Holiday”

 

I have found almost everything ever written about love, to be true Shakespeare said “Journeys end in lovers meeting”. What an extraordinary thought. Personally, I have not experienced anything remotely close to that but I am more than willing to believe Shakespeare had. I suppose I think about love more than anyone really should. I am constantly amazed by its sheer power to alter and define our lives. It was Shakespeare who also said Love is Blind, now that is something I know to be true.

For some, quite inexplicably, love fades. For others, love is simply lost. But then of course, love could easily be found, even if just for the night. And then there is another kind of love, the cruelest kind, the one that almost kills its victims, it’s called unrequited love, of that I am an expert.

Most love stories are about people who fall in love with each other, but what about the rest of us? What about our stories, those of us who fall in love alone? We are the victims of the one-sided affair, we are the cursed of the love ones, we are the unloved ones, the walking wounded, the handicap without the advantage of a great parking space, yes you are looking at one such individual…

Today is the last day of the first month of the year, how time flies!

My favorite moment of January is when I got to go to Boracay on a sunny day! #ItsMoreFunInThePhilippines
