"These days, I've been trying to classify my thoughts into two categories: "Things I can change," and "Things I can't." It seems to help me sort through what to really stress about. But there I go again, over-planning and over-organizing my over-thinking! I write songs about my adventures and misadventures, most of which concern love. Love is a tricky business. But if it wasn't, I wouldn't be so enthralled with it. Lately I've come to a wonderful realization that makes me even more fascinated by it: I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to love. No one does! There's no pattern to it, except that it happens to all of us, of course. I can't plan for it. I can't predict how it'll end up. Because love is unpredictable and it's frustrating and it's tragic and it's beautiful. And even though there's no way to feel like I'm an expert at it, it's worth writing songs about -- more than anything else I've ever experienced in my life. "

Message in a Plastic Bottle

February 13, 2011....

Nasa batangas ako nitong araw na ito... Actually Feb. 12 pa lang, andun na kami. Kaso nga lang gabi na... Wala naman akong maikwento tungkol don except na nagpunta ko sa isang jambori... Di ko sure kung ganon spelling non pero ganon ung tawag don. Di ko din alam kung bakit.

Ayon... Kinabukasan, sinamahan ko si Kuya Paul na magpagupit sa bayan. Achievement yon kasi first time ko gumala sa Batangas ng wala si nanay... Kaming dalawa lang talaga ng pinsan ko. Pagdating namin sa bayan, may dalawang pagupitan, magkatapat. Para mapagdesisyunan kung saan siya magpapagupit, dinaan namin sa fair judgement: BATO-BATO-PIK.

So ayon, nakapagpagupit na si Kuya. Pagkatapos non, ayaw ko pang umuwi kasi pag-uwi ko, babalik na kami ng Las Piñas. Kaya nag-quality time muna kami ni Kuya Paul. nagpunta kami sa tabing dagat. Ang sarap ng hangin tapos an ganda ng view, kitang-kita yung Taal Volcano.

Parang wala kaming magawa ng pinsan ko kaya sinuggest ko na magmessage in a bottle. Ang problema, wala kaming materials. Una, naghanap kami ng bote. Nakakita kami ng bote ng gin tsaka plastic bottle. Nag-alangan kami sa bote ng gin kasi baka di lumutang. Nung tinapon namin un sa dagat, lumutang!!! haha. Sana pala yun na lang ginamit namin... Oh well, that leaves us with the plastic bottle.

Next, paper. Since malapit naman yung dagat sa palengke, sabi ko manghingi na lang kami ng papel sa mga tindera. So pumasok kami ng palengke. Doon, nakakita si Kuya paul ng classmate niya. Doon siya humigi ng papel.

Last problem: Ballpen. Paikot-ikot kami sa palengke hanggang makakita kami ng lottohan. May ballpen dun sa labas ng booth, tsamba!!! Edi sulat naman ako... Nagmukha pa kong tumataya ng Lotto don...

Ayon, edi hinagis na namin ung bote. Sobrang lakas ng hangin tapos ang bano pa ng pagkakatapon ni Kuya kaya di lumunsad yung bote. Bumaba pa tuloy siya sa tubig para ihagis uli... haha...

Hanggang pag-uwi namin sa bahay namin sa Batangas yung bote pa din pinag-uusapan namin ni Kuya. Namimiss ko din yung ganong bonding time namin ng pinsan ko. Yung kulitan namin tsaka mga kalokohan... Haha... Kaya nga ayoko nang bumalik ng Maynila eh... Wahaha... Di naman. Yun lang, the end...

Batangueña

Natuwa ako sa sticker na ito na nakadikit sa isang tricycle... haha... napagtripan namin ni Kuya Paul nung pauwi na kami galing sa pagpapagupit niya... Batangueñong batangueño eh...

♫ We'll be a Dream ♫

Do you remember the nights
We'd stay up just laughing
Smiling for hours
At anything
Remember the nights
We drove around crazy in love

When the lights go out
We'll be safe and sound
We'll take control of the world
Like it's all we have to hold on to
And we'll be a dream

Do you remember the nights
We made our way dreaming
Hoping of being
Someone big
We were so young then
We were too crazy
In love

When the lights go out
We'll be safe and sound
We'll take control of the world
Like it's all we have to hold on to
And we'll be a dream

Whoa whoa
Whoa whoa
Whoa whoa


When the lights go out
We'll be safe and sound
We'll take control of the world
Like it's all we have to hold on to
And we'll be


When the lights go out
We'll be safe and sound We'll take control of the world
Like it's all we have to hold on to
And we'll be a dream

My new favorite song.... Haha... Happy Valentine's Day, guys!

"You smell good, too,” said Patch

"It’s called a shower.” I was staring straight ahead. When he didn’t answer, I turned sideways. “Soap. Shampoo. Hot water.”

"Naked. I know the drill."


— (Hush, Hush)


Patch makes me laugh.... He's an ideal guy... For me... Ha-ha...

AYOKO NA!!!!

LOVEnat

Love - a wildly misunderstood
although highly desirable
malfunction of the heart
which weakens the brain,
causes eyes to sparkle,
cheeks to glow,
blood pressure to rise
and the lips to pucker.

I love you WHAT??

"I love you also means I love you more than anyone loves you, or has loved you, or will love you, and also, I love you in a way that no one loves you, or has loved you, or will love you, and also, I love you in a way that I love no one else, and never have loved anyone else, and never will love anyone else."
— Jonathan Safran Foer
