White Horse

White Horse

(Taylor Swift)

Say your sorryFearless album by Taylor Swift
That face of an angel comes out
Just when you need it to

As I pace back and forth all this time
‘Cause I honestly believed in you

Holdin’ on
The days drag on
Stupid girl,I should’ve known
I should’ve known

(Chorus)
That I’m not a princess
This ain’t a fairytale
I’m not the one you’ll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain’t Hollywood
This is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it’s too late for you and your white horse
To come around

Maybe I was naive
Got lost in your eyes and never really had a chance
My mistake I didn’t know to be in love
You had to fight to have the upper hand

I had so many dreams about you and me
Happy endings,
Now I know

(Chorus)
That I’m not a princess
This ain’t a fairytale
I’m not the one you’ll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain’t Hollywood
This is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it’s too late for you and your white horse
To come around

And there you are on your knees
Beggin’ for forgivness
Beggin’ for me
Just like I always wanted but I’m soo sorry…..

That I’m not your princess
This ain’t a fairytale
I’m gonna find someone someday who might actually
Treat me well
This is a big world
That was a small town
There in my rear view mirror dissapearin’ now
Now it’s too late for you and your white horse
Now it’s too late for you and your white horse
To catch me now…..

Whoa ohhh ohhh ohhh oh
Try and catch me now
Ohhh
It’s too late…..

Three Love Stories: Code Names

Previously…

Tatlong guys lang ang nagbigay ng matinding impact sa buhay ng friend kong ito. Dalawa dun ay naging boyfriend niya. Yung isa naman, mahal niya pero bestfriend niya kaya di talo. She had moments with these guys. Pero the sad thing is that, di maganda ang naging kinahinatnan ng relationships niya with them.”

Ritwal na para sa akin ang mag-check ng emails ko tuwing umaga pagdating sa office. Kaya naman expected ko na ang email ni Jane sa akin tungkol sa lovelife niya. Ang di ko nga lang inaasahan, isang nobela pala ang i-ssend niya. Tsk! Ang lufet! And take note, part one pa lang daw yun.

So, instead na i-copy paste ko na lang sana ang kwento niya, di ko na itinuloy. Napansin ko kasi na kailangan siyang i-chop dahil kung hindi good luck na lang.

From: Jane <********@yahoo.com>

Subject: I WANT NEW ENDINGS

Date: Thu, 1/22/09, 10:33pm

Message:

Gurl,

I’m not happy. Feeling ko para akong multo na may unfinished business. I want to do something about my relationships (as if all of them still exists! Hmph!) kahit sa imagination man lang. Kaya nga eto, share ko sa’yo ideas ko. Teka, ano nga kaya kung i-blog mo ito? Pwede! Basta ba don’t reveal my identity ha. Bahala ka na kung anong gusto mong ipangalan sa’kin. Hahaha…

PERO. Oo, may pero. Gusto ko ako ang magbigay ng codenames dun sa tatlo. Itago natin sila sa codenames na X, Y and Z. Parang algebra noh? Pero siyempre hindi. Alam naman nating pareho na allergic tayo sa Math eh. Kaya nga hindi tayo nag-Engineering at Commerce. Anyway, here are my reasons about those codenames and kung para kanino sila.

X. Siyempre, si X ay ang EX ko. Duh! Nag-iisa lang naman siya as of the moment. Wait, napaisip ako dun ah. Hehehe… Basta siya si X kasi siya ang una kong ex.

Y. Bakit nga ba Y? Si Y ay si present na medyo malabo na ngayon kung siya pa rin ang present. Gets mo? Kaya Y. Kasi ang dami-dami ko pang gustong itanong sa kanya na di ko pa rin naitatanong at pag susubukan ko na, para naman siyang umiiwas. Gusto ko ngang malaman why. Haaay…

Z. Si Z ay si ultimate long-time guy bestfriend ko. Siyempre curious ka na naman bakit Z eh wala namang letter Z sa name niya. Well, for one thing. Para kasi siyang manhid or nagmamanhid-manhidan about my feelings for him. Alam ko naman may idea siya about it eh. Di mo pa rin gets? Z kasi alam mo yung sa cartoons yung pag natutulog “Zzzzz”. Yun nga! Kasi I want to wake him up and make him look at me. See me not just as a friend… but something MORE.

So ayan, may codenames ka na para sa blog mo. Simulan ko na fantasies ko? Hahaha… Wag kang mag-alala. Hindi ito ‘pron’ (term mo! hahaha), pramis.

***

At naglitanya na nga si Jane tungkol sa tatlo. Mga wishful endings for each of them. But before we proceed with her ika nga “fantasies”, kilalanin nyo muna yung tatlo. Si X, Y, Z. Mag-umpisa tayo in alphabetical order…

Si X gaya nga ng sabi ni Jane ay ang una niyang ex. Meaning, yun din ang first-ever boyfriend niya. Ngayon may idea na siguro kayo bakit mahalaga sa kanya ang isang yun. Dahil nga first. Alam mo naman pag first, halos una sa lahat ng bagay…

Based on her stories about X, whirlwind romance ang relationship nila. Nakilala niya kasi itong si X through one of her friends. Di sila nagpapansinan nung una pero nang magtagal, they tried as much as possible na laging magkita pag may lakad ang common friends nila. Pasimple. Tambay sa baywalk, sa UST or sa coffeeshops. Then ayun, nagka-developan. Text-text lang nung una. Kunwari magtatanong kung safe na nakauwi.

Anyway,  Si X nga rin pala ang reason kaya natuto mag-kape yang si Jane. Di kaya siya mahilig sa kape dati at ayaw na ayaw pa niya ito. Tignan mo nga naman talaga nagagawa ng love noh?

Going back, ok naman si X. In fact, bagay sila ni Jane. Maganda at matalino si Jane while X is cool and handsome. X was the one who helped Jane loosen up and have fun. Bahay-school lang kasi dati itong friend ko. Nang dumating si X, natuto lumabas-labas.

Parang napaka-perfect ng picture di ba? Pero hindi. X has problems with commitment though alam ni Jane yun, it didn’t bother her. She trusted X when he said that Jane renewed her faith in LOVE again. He was worth her trust. WAS. Past Tense.

Ayun nga, mabait kasi itong si Jane eh. Kaya nadale tuloy siya ng cliche na “It’s not you, it’s me” at isang napaka-pangit na closure ng first relationship ang nangyari. Pero kahit pangit, I can say na kinilig din naman ako kahit papaano sa mga moments nila ni X. Ang sarap ngang i-rewind at i-play all over again…

To be continued…

Three Love Stories: Introduction

Malapit na naman ang February kaya naman naisip ko na panahon na naman ng ka-kornihan at kabaduyan. Bakit? Kasi unti-unti na namang nagsusulputan ang mga naglalakihang teddy bear, heart-shaped candy boxes, at heart balloons. Bukod dito, puro na rin kulay pula ang makikita mo sa paligid. Favorite color ko ang red pero naiirita ako dito tuwing February. OA naman na kasi. Saan ka ba naman nakakita na pati teddy bear, ginawang red?

 

Anyway, hindi tungkol sa pagkainis ko sa Valentine’s day ang post na ito. Kung tutuusin, this post will even compliment the occasion. A post about love. Mushy? Well, kayo na ang humusga. After all, hindi ko naman kwento ito. Ikukuwento ko lang. Hehehe…

 

Itago na lang natin siya sa pangalang Jane. Matagal ko na siyang kaibigan at ka-chikahan lalo na pagdating sa lovelife. Alam namin ang mga frustrations at heartbreaks ng bawat isa. Wala akong planong ilaglag siya dito. Baka nga makatulong pa sa kanya ito. Kaya nga with her permission, i-sshare ko sa inyo ang kanyang love stories…

One busy day ng January 2009, sa ym…

 

Jane: Uy gurl, musta?

Ako: ok naman. Ikaw?

Jane: eto, medyo sad.

Ako: bakit naman?

Jane: Ewan ko ba. Emo na naman ako lapit na kasi Feb. eh

Ako: Valentine’s day blues? Tagal pa yun wag mo muna isipin

Jane: Di yun… Naisip ko lang,  ang lungkot pala ng lovelife ko. Tatlo lang ang minahal ko nang husto tapos puro naging pangit pa ang kwento

Ako: (quite annoyed) So… ano plano mo?

Jane: Wala naman. Wish ko lang… sana iba naging mga ending nila. Sana pwede pa baguhin.

Ako: Ano bang klaseng ending gusto mo?

Jane: Hmmm… matutulungan mo ba ako kung saka-sakali?

Ako: Try ko.

Jane: Sige. I-email ko sa iyo kasi medyo inspired ako ngayon. Bigyan ko silang tatlo ng kakaibang ending.

Ako: Ok. Tapos i-blog ko ha? (joking) Hehehe…

Ako: Teka, tatlo?!
Jane: Oo. Tatlo Sina ano…

Ako: Ah… Sige. Email mo na lang. Work muna ako, ok?

Jane: Okeis.

 

***

At doon na nga nabuo ang ideyang ito. Biro lang nung una pero naisip ko na maganda rin siguro totohanin. Totohanin ang i-share ang kwento ni Jane. Naaliw kasi ako sa lovelife niya at sa makukulay na ending na gusto niya. Naisip ko nga baka mabasa ito nung tatlong valuables niya (hehehe… kulit sa term noh?) at sakaling magkatotoo. Malay natin makatulong talaga ako… So, game?

 

***

Bago ko i-reveal ang email ni Jane. Let me give you an idea muna kung sino itong ating bida. Aside from the fact na kilala ko siya at magkaibigan kami, gaya ko, graduate din siya ng UST at working na rin ngayon.

 

Si Jane ay mahilig din magsulat. Yun nga lang mas ganado siyang magsulat pag inaatake siya ng depression. Katabi ang Coke at Bavarian donut, siguradong makakagawa agad siya ng isang malalim at makabagbag-damdaming tula habang nagmumuni-muni kung bakit nga ba malupit sa kanya ang buhay.

 

Di ko rin siya talaga masisi kung bakit siya ganoon. Talo pa kasi ng buhay ng babaeng ito ang mga telenovela na napapanood nyo sa tv. Grabe sa tindi ng drama. Pero dahil hindi naman ito tungkol sa buhay niya. Di ko na iisa-isahin sa inyo ang mga tragic moments niya.

 

Maganda si Jane. Some of our friends even call her “HOT”. She deserves it naman kasi. Matindi ang appeal niya, sexy, magandang katawan, matangkad, witty at very strong ang personality. All in all, charming talaga siya. Which makes me wonder, bakit nga ba ganun ang lovelife niya…

 

Tatlong guys lang ang nagbigay ng matinding impact sa buhay ng friend kong ito. Dalawa dun ay naging boyfriend niya. Yung isa naman, mahal niya pero bestfriend niya kaya di talo. She had moments with these guys. Pero the sad thing is that, di maganda ang naging kinahinatnan ng relationships niya with them. Di naman super pangit pero she still wishes they could have been better…

Love 2 Love 2 Love: Recommended Post-Valentine concert

Want more of the “Back 2 Back 2 Back” concert of Freestyle Side A and MYMP? Well, there will be MORE.

That’s the good news for all especially to those who were not able to see them perform last December 2008. Even better because, it will be held on February 15, a Sunday when everyone could surely attend.

What to expect? Definitely the all-time favorite love songs of the three famous bands. Side A will probably be doing classics like “Forevermore”, “So Many Questions,” and “Tell Me”. Freestyle will be performing their “Before I Let You Go,” “Bakit Ngayon Ka Lang,” “So Slow,” “Half Crazy,” and “This Time”. While MYMP will be treating the audience with “Tell Me Where It Hurts,” “Kailan,” “Get Me,” and “Especially For You”.

This concert is designed to compliment the romantic mood of the occasion. Couples are expected to comprise majority of the crowd. So, more love songs shall be performed. Thus, the event will still be as fabulous and maybe even better than how it was last December.

So, grab your organizers and mark the date. The “Love 2 Love 2 Love” will be held at Araneta Coliseum on February 15, 2009 (8:00pm). See ticket prices below:

I Hate This Part

I Hate This Part

(Pussycat Dolls)

We’re driving slow through the snow on 5th Avenue
And right now radio’s all that we can hear
Now we ain’t talk since we left, it’s so over due
It’s cold outside but between us it’s worse in here

the_pussycat_dolls_doll_domination

PCD's album "Doll Domination"

The world slows down
But my heart beats fast right now
I know this is the part
Where the end starts

I can’t take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through our fingers
I don’t wanna try now
All that’s left’s goodbye to
Find a way that I can tell you
I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here
I just can’t take your tears
I hate this part right here

Everyday, seven takes of the same old scene
Seems we’re bound by the laws of the same routine
Gotta talk to you now ‘fore we go to sleep
But will we sleep once I tell you what’s hurting me

The world slows down
But my heart beats fast right now
I know this is the part
Where the end starts

I can’t take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through our fingers
I don’t wanna try now
All that’s left’s goodbye to
Find a way that I can tell you
I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here
I just can’t take your tears
I hate this part right here

I know you’ll ask me to hold on
And carry on like nothing’s wrong
But there is no more time for lies
‘Cause I see sunset in your eyes

I can’t take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through our fingers
I don’t wanna try now
All that’s left’s goodbye to
Find a way that I can tell you

That I gotta do it,
I gotta do it,
I gotta do it
I hate this part
I gotta do it,
I gotta do it,
I gotta do it

I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here
I just can’t take these tears
I hate this part right here

*** I hate feeling this way… I hate this part of my life. Fast forward please?

Gusto na Kita

Ilang oras na akong ‘di makatulog
Paulit-ulit lang naman ang reklamo

Gusto lang kitang makalimutan

6cyclemind's Fiesta album

6cyclemind's Fiesta album

Gusto lang kitang makalimutan

Pa’no ba binabago ang ihip ng hangin
Kung saan ako sa yo’y di mababaliw
Bakit kung kailan gusto ko nang sumuko sayo
Lalo mo lang akong napapaikot

Chorus:
Gusto lang kitang makalimutan (2x)
Gusto na kitang makalimutan (2x)

malilimutan na kita forever..(2x)

Di ko na sisilipin ang friendster mo
Isasara ko na ang multiply ko
‘Di ko na iintayin ang text mo
Wala nang sasagot, wala nang sasagot!!

Repeat Chorus

Ganyan ma-in-love , love, love…(4x)

.. gusto na kita…

*** Hmmm… Ano kaya kung gawin ko nga talaga ito? Pwede! Pero ayoko isara multiply ko eh. :P

Obama’s Inauguration and American Musings

And so it came… A HUGE change in the history of the American government.

The first African American president now takes power in the 56th Presidential Inauguration. Indeed, US Pres. Barack Obama has a lot to face in the following days of his reign.

However, let’s not think about the trials that he will soon encounter for a while. Maybe that’s the reason why I also didn’t watch his inauguration. Too much politics I guess. Yet, this blog post is about his inauguration. But the lighter side of it.

First, I was amazed at how the world supports this man who shall now be conquering the White House. Lots of Obama souvenirs came out in all parts of the world. Were there also stuff like these during the inauguration US presidents before him? Hmmm… I don’t think so.

Anyway, I was also amused with what I saw in the web. A Lego replica of the inauguration of Obama was set up in Legoland, Carlsbad, California. It is so cute and so detailed too! Look out for personalities like Oprah Winfrey and Aretha Franklin. Yes, they are in the replica too!

Well, I was thinking… How many US presidents were there since I was born? Wait. Five, I think. Hehehe…

How about you?
