shiver by coldplay

i hardly paid attention to this song when i'd hear it before. re-discovered it and i find it so cute! the type that makes you go awwww :-P

so i look in your direction
but you pay me no attention, do you.
i know you don't listen to me
cause you say you see straight through me, don't you.

on and on from the moment i wake,
to the moment i sleep,
i'll be there by your side,
Just you try and stop me.
i'll be waiting in line,
just to see if you care.

did you want me to change?
well i change for good.
and i want you to know
that you'll always get your way.
i wanted to say..

don't you shiver?
shiver, shiver

i'll always be waiting for you
so you know how much i need ya
but you never even see me, do you?

and this is my final chance of getting you.


on and on from the moment i wake,
to the moment i sleep,
i'll be there by your side,
Just you try and stop me.
i'll be waiting in line,
just to see if you care.


did you want me to change?
well i change for good.
and i want you to know
that you'll always get your way.
i wanted to say..


don't you shiver?
shiver, shiver

sing it loud and clear.
i'll always be waiting for you.
yeah i'll always be waiting for you.

and it's you i see, but you don't see me.
and it's you I hear, so loud and clear.
i sing it loud and clear.
and i'll always be waiting for you..

so i look in your direction
but you pay me no attention
and you know how much I need you
but you never even seen me.

wake-up call

i just realized, the first month of the second half of the year (third quarter) is about to end (haha, that was long) and, i asked myself, have i met my goals for 2006? well, i have about five more months to plan and to execute them! so starting next week, i think i will get myself back on track -- live each day productively. the past couple of months were a time for me to nurture relationships with people so they were full of gimiks, hanging out etc. well, no more banjing days and nights this time! except weekends of course :) don't get me wrong, i don't consider the past couple of months as time wasted. they were days of happiness and dramaramas. i saw it as a time of maturity and personal growth. i really learned a lot about myself -- weaknesses, strengths and limits.

so here are the things i should work on starting next week:

- learn nihongo
- work on my school project (i'm down to the last one!)
- pool the personal things that i plan to sell
- finish a book
- learn something new each day (i will set up a sked for this. some of the things i wana check out: howstuffworks, investment sites, philippine constitution, accounting, operations research)
- plan how to join bazaars this christmas season
- study photography (B/W at UP next sem!!!)
- go to the gym


i'll check up on myself in a month :)

aja!

jaded and frustrated (naks, rhyming!)

i am jaded already by everything that's been happening in the past week. i didn't really mean to but i guess i just got tired. my heart can only hold so much.

so..whatever floats your boat!

i am also frustrated. my mom got robbed today :( she was about to unlock the door when a biker dude whizzed by and snatched her bag! she lost her phone, paycheck, watch and other valuable stuff (sss card etc). it's so frustrating coz why her?!?! she's not rich. we're not rich :(

oh well, what you do unto thee comes back to you in 3's.

and this happens after i indulge in retail therapy..the guilt! i am just so in the mood to buy and splurge. good thing i got to stop myself from buying cds last sunday or else it would have been too much. i saw snow patrol, hard-fi and..*drum roll*..death cab's plans!!!! my goolai, i've been asking for that since last year! but then i did end up buying a slightly expensive topshop top (it was just too cute to pass) and jeans (at least it was half the price!). i also got talked into buying two necklaces!! i'm such a sucker when sweet salespeople start talking to me..most of all if it's the owner! argh. but then the necklaces are really nice. it just wasn't my intention to buy a necklace, let alone two.

oh well. with all my splurges (with food pa ha), i guess i would have to start selling my stuff! coz i'm poor. i got no money for my honey. bwahaha. i'll take pix soon and probably set-up another blog for the stuff i'll be selling. then maybe..i can start creating stuff too to sell (light bulb flashing)! haha. well, if i do find the time. yes, i think i will find the time.

btw, i saw someone today whom i haven't seen in months. he really kinda reminds me of chris martin.

have you ever felt as if you were ganged up on?

wait, maybe that's too harsh. more of there's no one on your side? no one's there for you?

that's what i am feeling right now. well, what i felt. it's a weird feeling, probably misunderstood for something else. but it really is just that -- the feeling that you are all alone.

what's worse is that i felt this from people whom i thought were my friends.

that's the problem with me -- i trust people too much. i have so much faith on the goodness in them. in the same respect, i only show goodness too. as i've said countless times, i have no schemes nor twisted plans in my head. what you see is what you get. but then there really are people out there who won't believe you, no matter how sincere you are. and i think now, i understand why: because of all the schemers and evil planners that exist out there. we really have to be on our toes for people like this. don't let your guard down! paranoia on some level, but then maybe it's for the best. with new or recent acquaintances, only say or do things that will not leave you open to judgment. then maybe they will stop backstabbing you, hehe.

oh well patching, stop being an idealistic kid. there are only a few out there who will take you for who you are. these are the people whom you should love and treasure and consider as true friends.

welcome to the real world.

sentimentalness


i've been pretty sentimental the past couple of days, what with all the things going on in my life right now. i can't help but look back at all the years, months, weeks and days that have passed and just wonder which among those memories brought me to where i am at this very point in my life. while looking back, i can't help but think of what's in store for me in the future -- in the next couple of days, weeks, months and years even. quite scary actually as i am already at that age where each decision could inadvertently change my path in life. but then again, i shouldn't scare myself. i should just go on and enjoy life and not let every little thing bog me down: life's too short to waste on worrying! instead, i should just be wary of the endless possibilities life has to offer me -- which i shouldn't be afraid of once the opportunity comes knocking!

howl's moving castle

i borrowed the dvd from my officemate about a week ago (thanks noy!) and i'm thankful that i did..and that he remembered! it is far by my most favorite miyazaki movie among all that i've seen. it's too interesting to pass up that even my mom got interested in watching the movie (if she didn't have to do things i'm sure she would have watched with me). the story made me smile and giddy, the humor made me laugh (i've never laughed as much in a movie not deemed as comedy) and the characters are just keeeyuuut!!!! KAWAII!!! i love mr. turnip -- so cute hoppity hop hopping around; calcifer -- the look on his face the first time he appeared was just really funny, i don't know why; heen -- the part when he couldn't get up the stairs of the king's castle was just downright hilarious; and markl -- soooo keeeeeyuuuuut..i love the part where it was shown first time how he'd "disguise" himself..hahaha!



anyway, if you guys have time (and you do find a copy), do check out howl's moving castle. it is worth watching and will surely take your worries away even if for a moment -- it did take mine! check out miyazaki's other movies too: spirited away is just as magical, imaginative (bordering on silly but still superb for me i believe!) although the story did not move me as much. princess mononoke and nausicaa are a tad bit serious for me but i'd still say they are worth watching. if you are into movies with great, imaginative storylines crafted artistically, then you should check them out. looking forward to seeing more miyazaki and studio ghibli masterpieces!
