Bar Nights

♪ Broken mirrors and a black cat's cold stare ♪

I decided to start listening to Pink's Funhouse album yesterday. It has been in my itouch for months now but I never really listened to it 'cause I thought it's gonna be the same old, loud, angry songs she's known for. To my surprise, it is not what I had expected. It's less angry, more substance and few that's actually subtle to the ear. I'm liking a lot of the songs in the album. Funhouse and Crystal Ball are my favorite for the day because of the specific lines in the song and how it relates to my day. 

Funhouse

This used to be a Funhouse

But now it's full of evil clowns

It's time to start the countdown

...

Crystal Ball

Love just needs a witness and a little forgiveness
And a halo of patience and a less sporadic pace and
I'm learning to be brave in my beautiful mistakes

...

Pennies in a well, a million dollars in the fountain of a hotel.
Fortune teller that says maybe you will go to hell.
But I'm not scared at all

My Mentos Moment

Yesterday I had a Mentos moment. The heel of my left shoe snapped! It happened while I was talking to my colleague. You see, I have this habit of standing on my heels whenever I'm wearing high heeled shoes. Fortunately, it is still somehow attached and I can still walk in it. I did thought of doing what was done on the commercial but I realized that it will only make matters worse as there are small nails protruding from where the heel snapped. 

Sigh... Too bad, 'cause I  really like those black shoes... Oh well, an excuse to buy a new pair. :D 

interested in?

Just saw in my Facebook account that my profile says I'm "Interested in Women".
Seriously thought of making it both Men and Women.
Opted to just leave it blank.
Hehehe...

Something funny --> http://failbook.com/

Sunkissed

Washed in the sun

Kissed by the sea

Few stars gazing down on me

Laugh at the right places

Smile at the happy faces

Loud sounds around people I barely knew

I close my eyes to drown things out

And I ended up seeing you

Blankets of skies

Raindrops straight from the clouds

Making memories that never was

In our shared and different world

Time mocks and surrounds me

I close my eyes to keep everything in

But I still ended up losing you

May - Berry

It's been 2 weeks full of strawberries.

Strawberry Shortcake for our Team Lead's Birthday

Frolick's Frozen Yogurt topped with strawberries

White Hat's Frozen Yogurt again topped with strawberries

Fresh Big Strawberries from California!!!

I was never really a fan of strawberries. I can't remember the first time I tasted it, but I might've not liked the taste then because I always refused when I was offered one. Well, that was before I tried it again. I said to myself that I will try the things I told myself I'd never do again, and I'm glad I'm still keeping that promise. 

Sigh.... my long vacation is over... 

Q&A et al.

My SG based friends labeled me as a "cheap and low maintenance date" mainly because when we pay the food bill, I usually pay the least because of the quantity of the food or the type of dish I ordered.

I had my hair permed! Upside: I only need to comb it twice a day. Downside: I can only comb it twice a day.

The first time a friend of mine saw me with my permed hair she said "You look nice with your hair permed. But I like it better when it's straight." - We both laughed at what she just said. Tact was not really her thing.

Whenever I got asked "Kamusta na?" I would usually answer "Eto, buhay pa humihinga." I don't remember when I started giving that answer, but it became my generic response. Come to think of it, it doesn't really sound positive does it?

I was asked if I'm happy. I guess the fact that it took me a while to answer is already a give away. I remember that I was asked the same question a couple of years back and my exact answer was "My happiness and contentment lies in the happiness of the people I love and care about. As long as they're happy, then so am I."  This still holds true. Hmmm... I think I need someone who is constantly happy - good luck with that!

I was told to "move on". How can someone who was never really stuck move on?

My 13 year old niece asked me if I have a boyfriend. I told her no, I don't. Then she asked "You're pretty and you don't have a boyfriend?" I'm not entirely sure how to answer nor interpret that one. I just find it really really funny...

Overwhelmingly Home

I'm back home. I've been here a few days already and now I'm dreading the end of my vacation. It's hot back here. I don't mind though. Our family's laughter (amidst the tears) is enough to compensate for the weather. My nieces telling me how pretty I am brings smile to my insecure heart. The twins' playful (and sometimes naughty) demeanor melts me. The kids' innocence touches me. My mom's voice soothes me. I'm overwhelmed. It's the kind of overwhelming that I like.

I still asks myself why. 

I still came up blank. 

Do I need a reason to stay?

Or maybe a reason to go back?

I still haven't seen any stars since I got here... Can you take me to where I can see them?
