work was done here at home and then drove Eesper to his house. i thought i wouldn't leave the comfort of the car so i wore my flops. without any socks.. just my flops. but then he invited us to see his Wii, well actually twas his roommate's. in my excitement, i went down, forgetting the freezing cold feeling in my feet. maybe frostbite? nah. don't think so. haha. it was so windy out that even after telling me to hold the damn car door, it still slammed the car beside us. dangnamit! stupid of me. fortunately (or unfortunately?), it was Eesper's. i said sorry like a million times! i know how much he takes care of his cars. damn it.
hiking up to his loft was exercise and i needed it to warm my insides from the cold. his house smells nice. we often ask him what it was but we keep on forgetting to get one. anyhoo, so there it was.. beside the fireplace, where his (well, again his roommate's) 50" tv was set up. agad agad, laro na. di ko na mapigilan e! first we played bowling. still had a hangover from the game they played earlier. pero dito, kahit na naghhook ako and trying to spin the ball, nakakastrike pa rin! kaya masaya! haha. then tennis. ang cute ng mga Mii (the profiles you use for the Wii sports)! tawa kami ng tawa. then baseball.. darn balls! we can't hit them far. it's always either out or foul ball. when you pitch, you can drive a fastball, splinter or curveball. after a tie, we tried boxing, which was helluva laugh!! good thing i didn't bring my camera. then there would have been proof of my insanity. (not that there aren't any.. i don't wanna add to that pile as of now.. haha.) again, sobrang saya! then we tried golf and darts. lecheng darts! ang hirap! but all in all, it's easy to use. we didn't get to try Zelda cause it was getting late and we had to head back home for dinner. life really goes round and round.. minsan nasa taas ka, minsan asa baba. :)

on the way home from the bowling alley, i heard this song. so i searched for it. stupid me, i already have it in my files! hahaha. that's the trouble.. i'm not good at remembering.
Here in your arms - HelloGoodbye
I like where we are,
When we drive, in your car
I like where we are.... Here
Cause our lips, can touch
And our cheeks, can brush
Our lips can touch here
Well, you are the one, the one that lies close to me
Whisper's "Hello, I miss you quite terribly"
I fell in love, in love with you suddenly
Now there's no place else I could be but here in your arms
I like where you sleep,
When you sleep, next to me.
I like where you sleep... here
Our lips, can touch
And our cheeks, can brush
Our lips can touch here
Well, you are the one, the one that lies close to me
Whisper's "Hello, I miss you quite terribly"
I fell in love, in love with you suddenly
Now there's no place else I could be but here in your arms
Our lips, can touch
Our lips, can touch...here
You are the one the one that lies close to me
Whisper's "Hello, I miss you quite terribly"
I fell in love, in love with you suddenly
Now there's no place else I could be but here in your
You are the one the one that lies close to me
Whisper's hello I miss you, I miss you
I fell in love, in love with you suddenly
Now there's no place else I could be but here in your arms
Here in your arms.

In your life, you'll make note of a lot of people. Ones with whom you shared something special, ones who will always mean something. There's the one you first kissed, the one you first loved, the one you lost your virginity to, the one you put on a pedestal, the one you're with... and the one that got away.
Who is the one that got away? I guess it's that person, with who everything was great, everything was perfect, but the timing was just wrong. There was no fault in the person; there was no flaw in the chemistry, but the cards just didn't fall the right way, I suppose.
I believe in the fact that ending up with someone, finding a longtime partner that is, does not lie merely in the other person. I can actually argue that an equal part, or maybe even the greater part, has to do with the matter of timing. It has to do with you being ready to settle down and commit to someone in a way that goes beyond the little niceties of giddy romance.
How often have you gone through it without even realizing it? When you're not ready to commit in that mature manner, it doesn't matter who you're with, it just doesn't work. Small problems become big; inconsequential, become deal breakers simply because you're not ready and it shows. It's not that you and the person you're with are no good; it just that it's not yet right, and little things become the flash point of that fact.
Then one day you're ready. You really are. And when this happens you'll be ready to settle down with someone. He or she may not be the most perfect.
They might not be the brightest star of romance to ever have burned in your life, but it'll work because you're ready. It will work because it's the right time and you'll make it work. And it'll make sense, it really will.
So that day comes when you're finally making sense of things, and you find yourself to be a different person. Things are different, your approach is different, and you finally understand who you are and what you want.
And you've become ready because the time has truly arrived.
And mind you, there's no telling when this day will come. Hopefully you're single but you could be in a long-term relationship, you could be married with three kids. It doesn't matter. All you know is that you've changed, and for some reason, the one that got away is the first person you think about.
You'll think about them because you'll wonder, "What if they were here today?"
You'll wonder, "What if we were together now, with me as I am and not as I was?" That's what the one that got away is, the biggest "What if?" you'll have in your life.
If you're married, you'll just have to accept the fact that the one that got away, got away. Believe me, no matter how fairy tale you think your marriage is, this can happen to the best of us. But hopefully you're mature enough to realize that you're already with the one you're with and this is just another test of your commitment. One which will just strengthen your marriage when you get past it. Sure, you'll think about him/her every so often, but it's alright. It's never nice to live with a "might have been," but it happens.
Maybe the one that got away is the one who's already married. In which case, it's the same thing. You just have to accept and know that your memories of that person will probably bring a nice little smile to your lips in the future when you're old and gray and reminiscing.
But if neither of that is the case, then it's different. What do you do if it's not yet too late? Simple...find him, find her. Because the very existence of a "one that got away" means that you'll always wonder what if you got that one.
Ask him out to coffee; ask her out to a movie, it doesn't matter if you've dropped in from out of nowhere. You'd be surprised, you just might be "the one that got away" as well for the person who is your "the one that got away."
You might drop in from out of nowhere and it won't make a difference.
If the timing is finally right, it'll all just fall into place somehow and you know. I'm thinking, it would be a great feeling in the end, to be able to say to someone, "Hey you, you're the one that ALMOST got away."

uh oh.. everyone, please take note of this and since i'm not awake for breakfast all the time, i'm going to take mine now and eat burger king. hahaha. :)
BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS
1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level.
This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.
2. Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.
3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.
4. High Sugar consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.
5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.
6. Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.
7. Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered, increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.
8. Working your brain during illness
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.
9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.
10. Talking Rarely
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The main causes of liver damage are:
1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.
2. Not urinating in the morning.
3. Too much eating.
4. Skipping breakfast.
5. Consuming too much medication.
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener.
7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.
8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver.
Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.
We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to "schedule."
Because:
Evening at 9 - 11pm : is the time for eliminating unnecessary/toxic chemicals (detoxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes). This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during this time a housewife is still in an unrelaxed state such as washing the dishes or monitoring children doing their homework, this will have a negative impact on health.
Evening at 11pm - 1am : is the detoxification process in the liver, and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state.
Early morning 1 - 3am: detoxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state.
Early morning 3 - 5am : detoxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the detoxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.
Morning 5 - 7am: detoxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.
Morning 7 - 9am : absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you should be having breakfast at this time. Breakfast should be earlier, before 6:30am, for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30am is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who always skip breakfast, they should change their habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast late until 9 - 10am rather than no meal at all.
Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4:00 am is the time when the bone marrow produces blood. Therefore, have a good sleep and don't sleep late.

i just woke up and i'm watching design remix on HGTV. then the riddle's commercial came on and at last i had the chance to look up the song. :)
What are you doing the rest of your life? - Barbara Streisand
What are you doing the rest of your life?
North and south and east and west of your life?
I have only one request of your life
That you spend it all with me.
All the seasons and the times of your days.
All the nickels and the dimes of your days.
Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days.
All begin and end with me.
I want to see your face,
In every kind of light,
In fields of gold and
Forests of the night;
And when you stand before
The candles on a cake.
Oh let me be the one to hear
The silent wish you make.
Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
In the world of love you keep in your eyes,
Ill awaken whats asleep in your eyes,
It may take a kiss or two..
Through all of my life..
Summer, winter, spring and fall of my life,
All I ever will recall of my life
Is all of my life with you.

i just finished comprehending every page of Keye's Flowers for Algernon and my head hurts for trying to keep myself for bawling. after perusing every detail, it left me confused. i don't know if it's right to feel pity. it's a condescending emotion that puts me on a pedestal, which in no whatever way, should be. pity patronizes. and now i feel bad about feeling bad. i should get this thing straightened out.. and i think it's more of a want to help rather than a lowly look upon those who suffer in a different way than i am. hmmm.. this needs further musing on my part and i know i won't have an epiphany at this ungodly hour. connected to what i was trying to point out, i try my very best not to coalesce labels to others, and also to myself, but in this world where without standards every advancement made will regress, it is needed of me to confine my thoughts, ideas and feelings in letters that make up words that make up sentences which in the end will supposedly help me be understood. but all in vain.. not even all the pictures or words in the whole world in whatever language, dead or alive, it may be in, can it truly capture what i feel and think at a certain moment in time. sadly, with every intelligence, we just cannot fathom it all. and it truly goes to show in this book.. we are mere carbon based life forms trying to play God in a game where living life is the object and death is the prize. :)

Call and Answer - Barenaked Ladies
I think its getting to the point
Where I can be myself again
I think its getting to the point
Where we have almost made amends
I think its the getting to the point
That is the hardest part.
And if you call, I will answer
And if you fall, Ill pick you up
And if you court this disaster
Ill point you home
You think I only think about you
When were both in the same room
You think I'm only here to witness
The remains of love exhumed
You think were here to play
A game of who loves more than whom
And if you call, I will answer
And if you fall, Ill pick you up
And if you court this disaster
Ill point you home
You think its only fair to do whats
Best for you and you alone
You think its only fair to do the same
To me when you're not home
I think its time to make this something that is
More than only fair
So if you call, I will answer
And if you fall, Ill pick you up
And if you court this disaster
Ill point you home.
But I'm warning you, don't ever do
Those crazy, messed up things that you do
If you ever do
I promise you Ill be the first to crucify you
Now its time to prove that you've come back
Here to rebuild.

i have at last perused every bit of Jane Eyre and it leaves me satisfied with a sad heart. melancholy to the fact that an enchanting adventure has now come to an end but completely content at the conclusion of such a colorful narrative. this masterpiece led me more to my belief.
kung para sa iyo, para sa iyo. i am, ever as before, poor at giving reviews on things i have fancied but i shall try to, at the very least, give a short description. Jane Eyre is of a woman struggling in a world where her principles and emotions clash intermittently. living strong yet with a benevolent soul. i admire her presence and her way of thinking. she lives in an era where women are supposed to be well rounded and submissive but she thrives with enlightened ideas and faculties considered rebellious at that time, i suppose. she has a calm soul that calls to God. and for all of this, she is truly a woman worthy of praise. :) C. Bronte's narrative has a hint of goth due to bits of supernatural occurences mentioned in it which i was fond of well after reading Walpole's Castle of Otranto way before.
after ending a pleasant travel with Ms. C. Bronte, i decided it was of a prolific advantage if i were to wait for Roddick and Federer's head on. i am still contemplating on whose side i'm going to bet my time on but i'm leaning towards the latter. hmmm.. this proves to be exciting. but not as much akin to the idea of choosing another book to devour. *evil laugh* :)

Tell her this - Del Amitri
Tell her not to go
I aint holding on no more
Tell her something in my mind freezes up from time to time
Tell her not to cry
I just got scared thats all
Tell her Ill be by her side, all she has to do is call
Tell her the chips are down
I drank too much and shouted it aloud
Tell her something in my heart
Needs her more than even clowns need the laughter of the crowd
Tell her what was wrong
I sometimes think to much
But say nothing at all
And tell her from this high terrain, I am ready now to fall
Tell her not to go
I aint holding on no more
Tell her nothing if not this; all I want to do is kiss her
Tell her something in my mind
Freezes up from time to time.

Ikot - Stonefree
Di ka na naghihinayang
sa panahong nasasayang
di ka na naniniwala
sa mga himala
sadya bang napakahirap
tanawin ang hinaharap
Tuloy-tuloy ang ikot ng mundo
di ‘to hihinto para lang sa iyo
at kung ikaw nga’y maiwan
ako’y babalik at di ka pababayaan
di ka na nangangarap
di na rin naghahanap
tanggap lang ang kahinaan
nananatili at nag-aabang
Tuloy-tuloy ang ikot ng mundo
di ‘to hihinto para lang sa iyo
at kung ikaw nga’y maiwan
ako’y babalik at di ka pababayaan
Ikot lang ng ikot lang ng ikot lang ng ikot
Tuloy-tuloy ang ikot ng mundo
di ‘to hihinto para lang sa iyo
at kung ikaw nga’y maiwan
ako’y babalik at di ka pababayaan
Tuloy-tuloy ang ikot ng mundo..

i saw Modigliani starring Andy Garcia before i took a nap.. it was a tragic love story.. so tragic. argh.. much sought after potential taken away by addiction. i thought of all the chemical dependents whose lives have been inevitably ruined because of the endless battle of addiction where they - and their loved ones, are at the losing end. God help them. ended up making myself nearly into tears after i saw it.
just now, something came off.. huhu. nasasayangan ako sa mga panahon na hinintay ko itong humilom.. nakakalungkot. maybe this is life's way of saying, "hey stubbornhead! it's not working for you! *blows raspberries*" screw it. life's not fair, right? but heck. that's what makes it even more interesting.. and sometimes the things you want isn't exactly what's best for you.. acceptance is key, fellow men and women.. something better is just at the turn of the block after the long run of one way traffic. :)

the fear you won't fall - Joshua Radin
Digging a hole and the walls are caving in
Behind me air's getting thin but I'm trying
I'm breathing in
Come find me
It hasn't felt like this before
It hasn't felt like home before you
And I know it's easy to say but it's harder to feel
This way
And I miss you more than I should
Than I thought I could
Can't get my mind off of you
I know you're scared that I'll soon be over it
That's part of it all
Part of the beauty of falling in love with you is the fear you won't fall
It hasn't felt like this before
It hasn't felt like home before you
And I know it's easy to say but it's harder to feel
This way
And I miss you more than I should than I thought I could
Can't get my mind off of you
And I hate the phone
But I wish you'd call
Thought being alone
Was better than was better than
And I know it's easy to say but it's harder to feel this way
And I miss you more than I should
Than I thought I could
Can't get my mind off of you
Can't get my mind off of you
And I know it's easy to say but it's harder to feel
This way
And I miss you more than I should
Than I thought I could
Can't get my mind off of you

Even though you still may be young, you already feel like you've accomplished a lot in life.
And you feel free to pave your own path now, and you're not even sure where it will take you.
Maybe you'll pursue higher education in a subject you enjoy - or travel the world for a few years.
Either way, you approach life with a relaxed, open attitude. And that will take you far! |

showered a bit early than schedule today which was unwonted for me but it was for a reason. we had to get ready to go to the mall. no plans were made whatsoever yesterday so everything was hurried. my mom wanted to try her J.C. Penney card. my brothers got hold of shirts and a pair of jeans for Michael. i, on the other hand, sifted through the scant collection of bathing suits. i got two! both are bikinis, one is string [tho no thongs for me please.]. they were of my taste and absolutely wonderful that i had to get both of them. they were vintage surf. one was in olive brown with pink designs on one side of the top and at the rear end of the bottom. the string one was in stripes of aqua, yellow, green and brown with beads so it was yummy to look at. yes i know.. no shorts came with it but it will do for now when i want to hit the gym and swim. :)
another trip to the bookstore which cost my dad. heehee. i wanted to pay him but he said not to worry bout it.. what a delight! more for my collection.

frolicking in the snow was never this fun until i singlehandedly plowed it using a big shovel and jumped into the pile after. made five mini snowmen on the rail of my uncle's deck and made a big one under the tree. too bad no pic was taken of my big masterpiece. my lucky stars aren't as lucky today cause the batt of my camera went nada. har. after freezing my ass [literally. my underwear was wet when i got home to change.] off, i went in to eat a perfect, delightful treat for this season -- ice cream! yum!
