movie nights x impromptu sleepover

I HAVE TO. I really have to. I mean, write about these despite the fact that they happened more than a month ago already. I've been neglecting this blog, obviously. At one point, I even thought of declaring an official blog hiatus. Hahaha! Who am I kidding? Just the thought of needing to catch up in the near future makes me wanna barf.

Anywayy, have you heard I actually watched TFIOS twice? It's funny how I had an entirely different plan at first but uh, apparently the world isn't a wish-granting factory. Hehe! Gusto nyo yun? Maipilit lang! :P And in case you're wondering, I originally challenged myself to watch the movie alone, and of course just once. I felt like it's the best thing to do since I knew for sure that my tear glands will betray me. I read the book twice -- okay, maybe thrice -- and I always sob towards the end. *dies in shame* But while I was deciding whether or not to take the self-imposed challenge, the universe unexpectedly took away the liberty from me.

Change of plans. I had to catch the most-awaited film with Tin and Jhov. Gawdd, the sacrifices I make for friends. Hahaha! I was with Jhov, the resident movie buddy {case in point A, B, C and D!}, when I first saw it. And my thoughts on the movie? :) I expected it to be faithful to the book and boyyy, WAS IT FAITHFUL! I'm not eloquent enough to do a movie review nor do I know the standards of the people who do them but for me, it was a great adaptation. Josh Boone made me cry just as John Green did. It was such a tear jerkerrr!

WAIT. At this point I realized I have more thoughts about the movie but also, I have decided not to drone on. Who knows, I might join the book & movie review bandwagon soon. ;) Anobayaan, kakasabi ko lang na I'm not eloquent enough. Ang gulo ko? Hahaha!

But one more point just in case that review thing doesn't push through -- AUGUSTUS WATERS IS ANSEL ELGORT!!! He killed it! He really did! The charm.. The confidence.. Sya talaga yun, promise! Hehehe! And to think, I was disappointed the first time I found out that he'll play the role of Gus. I actually felt the same way about Shailene and well, uhmm, I still think someone else can do it better than she did. Plus, she looks too matured for Hazel. IDK. Maybe I just don't like her, period. But I'm still hoping I made sense. Hehe!

Going back to my TFIOS sesh with Jhov, shopping followed after the movie. Naging shoppingera na talaga ang lola nyo! And just like the usual, I was her personal assistant slash stylist. She's a Uniqlo fan, by the way, and I hate how I can't get her to prefer Forever 21. She said she gets overwhelmed with the latter; I get bored with the former. Oh well. Anyway, we capped off the day with tsismisan over early dinner.

For my second TFIOS night, I was with Tin. It was rather impromptu because we had absolutely no plans for the day. The popular VLeague photographer just wanted to visit me. Yun lang naman. Gusto lang naman akong bisitahin ng sikat. Hahaha! So she traveled all the way from their civilized home to our rural area to spoil me with donuts and coffee. Then while catching up, the idea of watching TFIOS -- re-watching for my case -- was brought up. And since I'm such a great friend, we went ahead. :P

Now this is something I'm so proud of. Hahaha! I didn't cry the second time I watched the movie! I finally got immune with the story. Aba ay dapat lang naman. Hehe! Tin didn't cry also. Ang pusong bato lang? But I guess it's just a matter of how you let yourself get involved with something. It has always been my technique when I don't want people to see me cry -- I do not take things by heart. Simple, right? But with TFIOS, I kind of indulged myself. Pagbigyan nyo na 'ko, paminsan minsan lang naman. :)

thanks Tin for this mash-up! :)

short F21 stint

Come parting time, Tin and I had a little arte-artehan. I won't divulge the whole story but in a nutshell, eto yun: ANG CLINGY NAMIN! We prolonged the night by staying in a nearby Jollibee that's open 24 hrs. And no dull moments still, kahit antok na antok na ko by that time. In the end, let's just say I WON and she ended up sleeping over our house. We're spontaneous like that!

The next day, we spent almost the entire morning playing and hammock-ing with Faye. We had a couple of hilarious videos but they are for personal consumption only. Sorry, folks! There's no way I'd ruin this post by sharing my bagong gising look. I hope y'all understand. Hehe! Of course, I'm kidding because it's not like you would want to see. Anyway, I missed the blogosphere. Blog hopping in 3..2..1! :)

I was supposed to blog about my TFIOS movie night but I got stuck listening to its soundtrack {and playing and singing and dancing and hammock-ing with my niece!} all dayyyy long. Oh well. :) And you possibly know this already, but anywayy, the soundtrack's lead single is Charlie XCX's Boom Clap -- my favorite by far just because it's catchy. I have yet to digest the lyrics of the other songs so while I'm at it, let's keep ourselves entertained with this one. And oh, don't mention it. ;)

Boom Clap

Lyrics

Boom boom boom clap

You're picture perfect blue

Sunbathing on the moon

Stars shining as your bones illuminate

First kiss just like a drug

Under your influence

You take me over you're the magic in my veins

This must be love

You're the glitter in the darkness of my world

Just tell me what to do

Going under cast a spell just say the word

I feel your love

Boom clap

it's about time

It's about time, it's about time that I write again. ✌ So for this morning, I'm sharing to you my recent movie discovery.. About Time. I actually read about it a few months ago but I only got to see it last week. What a shame! Anyway, to give you an idea about the movie, here's the plot summary as written by Universal Pictures.

At the age of 21, Tim Lake (Domhnall Gleeson) discovers he can travel in time... The night after another unsatisfactory New Year party, Tim's father (Bill Nighy) tells his son that the men in his family have always had the ability to travel through time. Tim can't change history, but he can change what happens and has happened in his own life-so he decides to make his world a better place...by getting a girlfriend. Sadly, that turns out not to be as easy as you might think. Moving from the Cornwall coast to London to train as a lawyer, Tim finally meets the beautiful but insecure Mary (Rachel McAdams). They fall in love, then an unfortunate time-travel incident means he's never met her at all. So they meet for the first time again-and again-but finally, after a lot of cunning time-traveling, he wins her heart. Tim then uses his power to create the perfect romantic proposal, to save his wedding from the worst best-man speeches, to save his best friend from professional disaster and to get his pregnant wife to the hospital in time for the birth of their daughter, despite a nasty traffic jam outside Abbey Road. But as his unusual life progresses, Tim finds out that his unique gift can't save him from the sorrows and ups and downs that affect all families, everywhere. There are great limits to what time travel can achieve, and it can be dangerous too.

It's ironic how Tim and Mary were the main characters but it was Tim's dad's presence that moved me, especially towards the end of the movie. If it weren't for the few last scenes, I'd say the movie was so so. I actually got bored with it at first to the point that I needed two days in order to finish it. Hehehe. So I suggest that you fight the boredom, finish it until the end, and eventually find out how good of a movie it is. :)

About Time

BUT WAIT.. THERE'S MORE! Hahaha! About Time landed a post on my blog not just because of the movie itself but also because of its soundtrack. There are 16 tracks, of which my favorites are.. The Luckiest, How Long Will I Love You and Friday I'm in Love. Gold in Them Hills is good too.

Track 01

Ben Folds - The Luckiest

Lyrics

I don't get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns
The stumbles and falls brought me here

And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it everyday
And I know that I am
I am, I am the luckiest

What if I'd been born fifty years before you
In a house on the street where you live?
Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike
Would I know?

And in a wide sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize
And I know that I am
I am, I am the luckiest

I love you more than I have
Ever found a way to say to you

Next door, there's an old man who lived to his 90's
And one day, passed away in his sleep
And his wife, she stayed for a couple of days
And passed away

I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way
To tell you that I know we belong
That I know that I am
I am, I am the luckiest

Track 02

Jon Boden, Sam Sweeney & Ben Coleman - How Long Will I Love You

Lyrics

How long will I love you
As long as stars are above you
And longer if I can

How long will I need you
As long as the seasons need to
Follow their plan

How long will I be with you
As long as the sea is bound to
Wash upon the sand

How long will I want you
As long as you want me to
And longer by far

How long will I hold you
As long as your father told you
as long as you are

How long will I give to you
As long as I live through you
However long you stay

How long will I love you
As long as stars are above you
And longer if I may 


 Track 03
Paul Buchanan - Mid Air

Lyrics
 The buttons on your collar
The color of your hair
I think I see you everywhere

I want to live forever
And watch you dancing in the air

All the lies and make believe
The very things that one day leave
But I can see you standing in mid air

The girl I want to marry
Upon the high trapeze
The day she fell and hurt her knees

And only time can make you
The wind that blows away the leaves

For everything that life was worth
The fallen snow, the virgin birth
Yeah I can see her standing in mid air
I can see you standing in mid air.


Track 04
 Groove Armada - At the River

 
Track 05

The Cure - Friday I'm in Love

Lyrics

 I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's gray and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday, I'm in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
Oh, Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love

Saturday, wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday, never hesitate...

I don't care if Mondays black
Tuesday, Wednesday - heart attack
Thursday, never looking back
It's Friday, I'm in love

Monday, you can hold your head
Tuesday, Wednesday stay in bed
Or Thursday - watch the walls instead
It's Friday, I'm in love

Saturday, wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday, never hesitate...

Dressed up to the eyes
It's a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throwing out your frown
And just smiling at the sound
And as sleek as a sheik
Spinning round and round
Always take a big bite
It's such a gorgeous sight
To see you eat in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff
It's Friday, I'm in love

I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's gray and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday, I'm in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love

Track 06

Amy Winehouse - Back to Black

Lyrics
He left no time to regret
Kept his dick wet
With his same old safe bet
Me and my head high
And my tears dry
Get on without my guy
You went back to what you knew
So far removed from all that we went through
And I tread a troubled track
My odds are stacked
I'll go back to black

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to.....

I go back to us

I love you much
It's not enough
You love blow and I love puff
And life is like a pipe
And I'm a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

Black, black, black, black, black, black, black,
I go back to
I go back to

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to black

 Track 07

Ron Sexsmith - Gold in Them Hills

Lyrics
I know it doesn't seem that way
But maybe it's the perfect day
Even though the bills are piling
And maybe Lady Luck ain't smiling

But if we'd only open our eyes
We'd see the blessings in disguise
That all the rain clouds are fountains
Though our troubles seem like mountains

There's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills
So don't lose heart
Give the day a chance to start

Every now and then life says
Where do you think you're going so fast
We're apt to think it cruel but sometimes
It's a case of cruel to be kind

And if we'd get up off our knees
Why then we'd see the forest for the trees
And we'd see the new sun rising
Over the hills on the horizon

There's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills
So don't lose faith
Give the world a chance to say...

A word or two, my friend
There's no telling how the day might end
And we'll never know until we see
That there's gold in them hills

There's gold in them hills
So don't lose heart
Give the day a chance to start

There's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills 

 
Track 08

Nick Laird-Clowes - About Time Theme

Track 09

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Into My Arms

Lyrics

I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that's true
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
To each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

And I believe in Love
And I know that you do too
And I believe in some kind of path
That we can walk down, me and you
So keep your candles burning
And make her journey bright and pure
That she will keep returning
Always and evermore

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

Jimmy Fontana - Il Mondo

Nick Laird-Clowes - Golborne Road

Track 12
Sugababes - Push the Button

Track 13
t.A.T.u. - All The Things She Said 


 Track 14
Barbar Gough, Sagat Guirey, Andy Hamill 
& Tim Herniman - When I Fall in Love 

Lyrics
  When I fall in love it will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun

When I give my heart it will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.

And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.


Track 15
Sebastian Klinger & Juergen Kruse - Spiegel Im Spiegel

Track 16
Ellie Goulding - How Long Will I Love You

Lyrics
How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you
And longer, if I can.
How long will I need you?
As long as the seasons need to
Follow their plan.

How long will I be with you?
As long as the sea is bound to
Wash upon the sand.

How long will I want you?
As long as you want me to
And longer by far.
How long will I hold you?
As long as your father told you,
As long as you can.

How long will I give to you?
As long as I live through you
However long you say.

How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you
And longer, if I may.

[Spoken:]
We're all traveling through time together
Every day of our lives.
All we can do is do our best
To relish this remarkable ride.

Capping this post with my favorite line from the movie.. "Life's a mixed bag, no matter who you are." Tim's dad said it. Just so true, eh?

four times the laughter

Jhov and I met between the holidays to squeeze in her late Christmas shopping and a rather impromptu movie night. That's how we usually roll - we ask each other for company to run errands and most of the time, shop, but we always end up catching a film too or sometimes wasting a fortune in coffee shops and arcade centers. When will we ever grow up?

It was Saturday afternoon when we managed to see each other sans mobile communication. I lost my phone, remember? We only got to decide through Facebook the 'when and where' then left the rest to luck. Voila! Nagkita naman kami. Feeling ko I defied the impossible by leaving the house without a trusty phone. Ohaa, kaya nyo yun? :P

Contrary to what I expected, we didn't immediately begin with her shopping. Instead, she brought up the idea of sine as soon as we hit the floor of the cinemas. Syempre uto-uto naman ako. Her choices were My Little Bossings, Girl Boy Bakla Tomboy and Pagpag. While Girl Boy Bakla Tomboy was fine with me, I was considering Kimmy Dora and 10,000 Hours also. But with my blog post title, I bet you already know what we chose. Yes, we picked out the hilarious movie Girl Boy Bakla Tomboy. No regrets, it was one heck of a funny movie. And why not, I've seen Petrang Kabayo and Praybeyt Benjamin with Tin, Sisterakas with Jhov, and all of those movies gave me a good laugh. Here's a shameless confession: my anti-local movies self would only watch a local movie when it's either Vice Ganda or Eugene Domingo. Other than that, forget it. Sorry, JLC!

Girl Boy Bakla Tomboy

our chubby cheeks and matching hair color after seeing the movie

After our movie stint, I started playing the role of a personal shopper slash stylist to Jhov. She said she needed a new pair of pants but she didn't just buy one, she hoarded! Ang loka-lokang yun, akala mo mauubusan ng pantalon. If not for the art of taking selfies, I could have lost my sanity waiting for her outside the fitting room. Post snack, we turned the mall upside down searching for the perfect gift for her boss. I suggested a Parker pen among others but in the end, she got a Starbucks tumbler. Most creative gift, eveeer! Hahaha!

patiently waiting for my master ✌

 
Before heading home, I thought of visiting a midnight bazaar but I was too exhausted to even tell her my idea, besides she has a commitment the following day. Oh well, better luck next time, self.

'til mockingjay?

Is there even a God of diligence? Because if there's one, I might have summoned it in my dreams last night making me so sipag today. I just gave my self a pat on the back. Good job, self. :P

Anyway, if you've been hanging around with me for a good while, you probably know how sickly I've been this year. Turned out it ain't over yet. I visited a new doctor and she requested that I be tested for something. Jhov accompanied me to FEU because as embarrassing as it is, I am scared as heck with injections and blood. I've lost count of the number of times I cried over medical examinations. I just can't help it!

We had to stay for almost an hour more at the hospital because I got dizzy as usual. My hands were numb for a while then it began shaking like crazy. I was able to warn Jhov though. She came prepared seeing me teary-eyed and pale.

We then headed to a bazaar at Novaliches. Unfortunately, there wasn't much that tickled our fancy. She got two pairs of earrings while I got none. We ended up eating na lang. We had barbecue, kwek kwek and mango graham shake. The last was surprisingly good.

taking selfies in the midst of eating

We didn't want to part ways early so we thought of watching a movie. It wasn't even a question what to see as Catching Fire was showing already. Incidentally, we were also together when we saw the first part of the trilogy. So I guess we'll see Mockingjay together on purpose. I found my Hunger Games buddy, yaay!

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

As if the long day wasn't enough, she went with me at home. She's been in our house couple of times already so it wasn't really a biggie. She knows my sister too so it was the three of us in my room camwhoring and chit-chatting.

The photo below has got to be my favorite. Anit suggested that we do a rock pose and we obeyed wholeheartedly with matching sound effects pa.. "raawwrr!! raawwrr!!" We were like that until the timer actually stopped and took a photo of us. And it's only after that did we realize that we sounded so crazy and it's even useless because it's just a freakin' photo. Silly souls!

raawrrr!!!

Dinner came next and believe me when I say we wiped out a tremendous amount of food. The theme of the day was Hunger Games so we were just living it. Aminin, it was a legit excuse. Haha! Sharing of photos and movies capped the night before she was finally fetched by her cousin. 

It may always be a long day when I'm with these creature but I really do not mind. Our friendship has surprisingly gone a long way after college and I can't see the coming years without her around.

a little too much ♥

I've recently discovered the love for movie soundtracks, thanks to Something Borrowed. It's one of my favorite movies and after watching it for the nth time few weeks back, I thought of downloading its soundtrack too. Best decision eveerrr! I've been hooked since then.

A Little Too Much would be my favorite, gives me the vibe of the movie more than any other song in the soundtrack. The Longer I Run and How's It Going to Be are close runners-up. Push It is fun too; I can vividly picture Rachel and Darcy dancing to it. Hahaha! Ahhh, pusheeet!

I'll listen to them all over again. Join me?

Track 01

Tyrone Wells - Running Around in My Dreams

Lyrics

It was one of those moments
When everything changes
She was, climbing out of a Chevrolet
On the passenger's side
I must've been staring
'cause when I caught her eye
It seemed like
I had been looking at her for all of my life

So I said
Why don't you come and go with me
Somehow I know, I've waited my whole life to see
You standing there with the wind in your hair
I'm as sure as a boy, could be
You are the girl that's been running around in my dreams
You are the girl that's been running around in my dreams

Hey...

Once in a lifetime does not happen again
So I, took a chance in a gamblers' game
Put my heart on the line
And maybe I'm crazy, but I'll never regret
What I said to a girl I knew, before we even met

And I said,
Why don't you come and go with me
Somehow I know, I've waited my whole life to see
You standing there with the wind in your hair
I'm as sure as a boy, could be
You are the girl that's been running around in my dreams
You are the girl that's been running around in my...

Hey, I finally found you
I've been dreaming about you, yea..
You are the girl that's been running around in my....
Hey, I finally found you
I've been dreaming about you
You are the girl that's been running around in my....

Why don't you come and go with me
Somehow I know, I've waited my whole life to see
You standing there, with the wind in your hair
I'm as sure as a boy could...
Why don't you come and go with me
Somehow I know, that this changes everything.
You're standing here, it's crystal clear
I'm as sure as a boy, could be
You are the girl that's been running around in my dreams
You are the girl that's been running around in my...

Hey, I finally found you
I've been dreaming about you, yea..
You are the girl that's been running around in my....
Hey, I finally found you
I've been dreaming about you
You are the girl that's been running around in my dreams

You've been running around in my dreams.
You've been running around in my dreams
You are the girl that's been running around in my dreams



Track 02
Natasha Bedingfield -  A Little Too Much

Lyrics
Sometimes it hits like car crash
And it's too late to reverse
Sometimes you make me a better person
Sometimes you bring out the worst

Sometimes we get on like fire
Sometimes we're stubborn like rain
Just when I think that it's over, over
You wave a white flag again

Ah, ah, we fall out then we fall back in
Ah, ah, we're always back where we begin

Everybody hurts just a little too much
Everybody hurts but it's never enough
It's wonderful to fall, let's love and risk it all
I'd rather love just a little too much

Sometimes we're trapped in a circle
' Til we're digging holes in the ground
We try but nothing is working
But still I want you around

'Cause if I'm lost in the desert
I know somehow you'll find me
And if I drown in the ocean
You'll be the first to rescue me

Everybody hurts just a little too much
Everybody hurts but it's never enough
It's wonderful to fall, let's love and risk it all
I'd rather love just a little too much

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Everybody hurts just a little too much
Everybody hurts but it's never enough

Ah, ah, we fall out then we fall back in
Ah, ah, we're always back where we begin

Everybody hurts just a little too much
Everybody hurts but it's never enough
It's wonderful to fall, let's love and risk it all
Even if it hurts just a little too much

I'd rather love just a little too much



Track 03
The Civil Wars - Poison & Wine

Lyrics
You only know what I want you to
I know everything you don't want me to
Your mouth is poison, your mouth is wine
You think your dreams are the same as mine

Ooh, I don't love you but I always will
Ooh, I don't love you but I always will
I don't love you but I always will
I always will

I wish you'd hold me when I turn my back
The less I give, the more I get back
Ooh, your hands can heal, your hands can bruise
I don't have a choice but I still choose you

Ooh, I don't love you but I always will
Ooh, I don't love you but I always will
I don't love you but I always will
Ooh, I don't love you but I always will

I don't love you but I always will
I don't love you but I always will
I don't love you but I always will
I always will, I always will, I always will
I always will, I always will



Track 04
Peter Bradley Adams - The Longer I Run

Lyrics
 When my blood runs warm with the warm red wine
I miss the life that I left behind
But when I hear the sound of the blackbirds cry
I know I left in the nick of time

Well this road I'm on's gonna turn to sand
And leave me lost in a far off land
So let me ride the wind til I don't look back
Forget the life that I almost had

If I wander til I die
May I know who's hand I'm in
If my home I'll never find
And let me live again

The longer I run
Then the less that I find
Sellin my soul for a nickel and dime
Breakin my heart to keep singing these rhymes
And losin again

The longer I run
Then the less that I find
Sellin my soul for a nickel and dime
Breakin my heart to keep singing these rhymes
And losin again

Tell my brother please not to look for me
I ain't the man that I used to be
But if my savior comes could you let him know
I've gone away for to save my soul

If I wander til I die
May I know who's hand I'm in
If my home I'll never find
And let me live again

The longer I run
Then the less that I find
Sellin my soul for a nickel and dime
Breakin my heart to keep singing these rhymes
And losin again

The longer I run
Then the less that I find
Sellin my soul for a nickel and dime
Breakin my heart to keep singing these rhymes
And losin again

Losing again

The longer I run
I'm losing again
Losing again

King Floyd - Groove Me

Lyrics
 Hey there sugar darling
Let me tell you something
Girl, I've been trying to say
You look so sweet
And you're so, so doggon fine
I just can't get you out of my mind

You come a sweet taste in my mouth now
And I want you to be my spouse
So that we can live happily now
In a great big old roomy house

You know you got to groove me baby
Oh yeah
Well you make me feel good inside
Come on now groove me baby
I need your groove
Hey!

Hey there sugar darling
Let me tell you something
Girl, I've been trying for days
Gimme some lovin'
And some 20/20 huggin'
Ooh, you cute little thang

Well girl between you and me now
We don't need no company
No other man, no other girl now
Can enter into our world

Not as long as you groove me baby
Oh yeah
Make me feel good inside
Come on and groove me baby
I need your groove
Hey!

Lyrics
Ah, push it
Ah, push it

Oooh, baby, baby
Baby, baby
Oooh, baby, baby
Baby, baby

Get up on this

Ow! Baby
Salt and Pepa's here

(Now wait a minute, y'all
This dance ain't for everybody
Only the sexy people
So all you fly mothers, get on out there and dance
Dance, I said!)

Salt and Pepa's here, and we're in effect
Want you to push it, babe
Coolin' by day then at night working up a sweat
C'mon girls, let's go show the guys that we know
How to become number one in a hot party show
Now push it

Ah, push it - push it good
Ah, push it - push it real good
Ah, push it - push it good
Ah, push it - p-push it real good

Hey! Ow
Push it good

Oooh, baby, baby
Baby, baby
Oooh, baby, baby

Push it good
Push it real good
Ah, push it

Yo, yo, yo, yo, baby-pop
Yeah, you come here, gimme a kiss
Better make it fast or else I'm gonna get pissed
Can't you hear the music's pumpin' hard like I wish you would?
Now push it

Push it good
Push it real good
Push it good
P-push it real good

Ah, push it
Get up on this

Boy, you really got me going
You got me so I don't know what I'm doing

Ah, push it



Track 08
Pt Walkley - Round Here

Lyrics
Step out the front door like a ghost
Into the fog where no one notices
The contrast of white on white.

And in between the moon and you
Angels get a better view
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.

I walk in the air between the rain,
Through myself and back again.
Where? I don't know

Maria says she's dying.
Through the door, I hear her crying
Why? I don't know

Round here we always stand up straight
Round here something radiates

Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
She said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis
She walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land
Just like she's walking on a wire in the circus
She parks her car outside of my house and
Takes her clothes off,
Says she's close to understanding Jesus
She knows she's more than just a little misunderstood
She has trouble acting normal when she's nervous

Round here we're carving out our names
Round here we all look the same
Round here we talk just like lions
But we sacrifice like lambs
Round here she's slipping though my hands

Woah, sleeping children better run like the wind
Out of the lightning dream
Mama's little baby better get herself in
Out of the lightning

She says, "It's only in my head."
She says, "Shhh...I know it's only in my head."

But the girl on the car in the parking lot
Says: "Man, you should try to take a shot
Can't you see my walls are crumbling?"

Then she looks up at the building
And says she's thinking of jumping.
She says she's tired of life
She must be tired of something.

Round here she's always on my mind
Round here, Hey man, I got lots of time
Round here we're never sent to bed early
And nobody makes us wait
Round here we stay up very very very very late

I... I can't see nothing, nothing
Round here
Won't you catch me if I'm falling
Catch me if I'm falling
Catch me 'cause I'm falling down on you

I said I'm under the gun
Round here
Man, I said I'm under the gun
Round here
And I can't see nothing, nothing
Round here



Track 09
Pt Walkley - How's It Going To Be

Lyrics
 I'm only pretty sure that I can't take anymore
Before you take a swing, I wonder what are we fighting for?
When I say out loud, "I want to get out of this,"
I wonder, is there anything I'm going to miss?
I wonder how it's going to be
when you don't know me.
How's it going to be
when you're sure I'm not there?
How's it going to be
when there’s no one there to talk to between you and me?
'Cause I don't care
How's it going to be?
How's it going to be?

Where we used to laugh, there's a shouting match
sharp as a thumbnail scratch
A silence I can't ignore,
like the hammock by the doorway we spent time in
Swing's empty
I don't see lightning like last fall
when it was always about to hit me
I wonder how's it going to be when it goes down
How's it going to be when you're not around?
How's it going to be when you found out there was nothing
between you and me?
'Cause I don't care
How's it going to be?

And how's it going to be
when you don't know me anymore?
And how's it going to be?

I wanna get myself back in again
The soft dive of oblivion…
I wanna taste the salt of your skin
The soft dive of oblivion…oblivion
How's it going to be
when you don't know me any more?
How's it going to be?
How's it going to be?



Track 10
Collective Soul - The World I Know

Lyrics
Has our conscience shown?
Has the sweet breeze blown?
Has all kindness gone?
Hope still lingers on
I drink myself of newfound pity
Sitting alone in New York City
And I don't know why

Are we listening?
Hymns of offering
Have we eyes to see?
Love is gathering
All the words that I've been reading
Have now started the act of bleeding
Into one

So I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below
And I laugh at myself
While the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I know
It's the world I know



Track 11
Dj Axel - Wanna Touch

No need for lyrics 'cause the song doesn't really say anything.
Well, except for the random 'wanna touch yah' or something.. :P

Anyway, leaving you with Something Borrowed's trailer. Might get you to watch it.

percy jackson kinda night

Good morning! ☀ It's Mama Mary's birthday today. Happy birthday to the greatest mother of all. Thank you for all the blessings. On another note, it's grandparent's day today too so we will be visiting our lolo later. He's in heaven now and as much as I want to visit him there, sa sementeryo ko lang kaya dumalaw. Hehehe. ✌ I miss lolo so so bad, you have no idea.

Besides all that, Jhov's birthday is approaching too. This time I prefer not to be my usual gorgeously messed up self so I'll be blogging now our day out last month. Last month?? Ayy, late pa rin pala. Hahaha! Ano ba yan.

It's a shopping slash dinner slash movie date. The last two were both her treat. Dinner and movieee?? Yes, ganon na kayaman ang friend ko. Hahaha! That was a private joke, you guys!

shopping slash dinner slash movie date ♥

Anyway, we've both been used to the idea that whenever she needs to go shopping ako talaga ang PA nya. PA meaning personal assistant or in a much simpler way of saying it - alalay. Ganun sya kalakas sa akin. On the other hand, she sure knows how to compensate even without me asking. GIVE AND TAKE. That's how every friendship {or any relationship at that matter} should go.

Her shopping hauls were from Uniqlo, F&H and Celine. Andami talagaaa. Shhh! I?? What did I buy? Hehehe. Just a simple shirt from Charlie. I'm jobless, remember? Speaking of Charlie, I looovvee the brand. I'm actually contemplating a blog post about it but I have yet to take outfit shots wearing them. 

Moving on, we took out dinner from Wendy's. It's the only fast food restaurant that isn't crowded so we really didn't have a choice, well, sort of. My favorite's the bacon mushroom melt. Hehe. Just had to say that.

The movie we watched? Percy Jackson!! It's a good movie. I even posted its trailer on this blog because I wanted to share it. It also made me appreciate Logan Lerman to the point that I stalked him with the friend of my good friend, Google. Hahaha! Thanks again dude!

blizzarrdd ♥

To cap off the night, I treated her to an M&M Blizzard. Another favorite! We only stayed there for a short while though 'cause it's late already. It was a long day but definitely fun. Thanks again, girl! ADVANCED HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Wuuuvv youuu!! :*

*Blabbed this morning. Unfortunately, I lost internet connection just.before.I.hit.publish. Did I hear you say tragic?

long day for walkway

Rise and shine, everyone. ☀ What are you up to today? I bet this is just another office or school day for you. POOR YOU! *evil laugh* Because if you'd ask me what I'm up to today, I'd say I'm spending my third day as a bum. Oh yeeess, dear. I just said BUM. How I love to hear the word. But no, please don't think I lost my job. I just asked for a two-week vacation leave because.. uhmm.. I'm going through some personal dramas. This life is driving me insane for no specific reasons I can pin point. Insane, indeed. :P

So for my third day bumming, I decided to face my blogger duties again. I have a loooonng {yes, that long really} list of back logs. Inspite the life dramas, there's still a lot going on. I honestly don't know how I managed to still go out with people when all I really want is to bury myself under my comforter. But no worries, friends. I AM FINE NOW. I promise. :*

Anyway, first on my list is my not-so-ordinary Holy Week. Sure dear, you can count how long has the Holy Week been over. Haha! So moving on, I {or we, whatever} didn't have the usual Visita Iglesia. Instead, we visited Walkway 2012 at Bonifacio High Street. And guess what? We arrived at BCG (Bonifacio Global City) at around 12noon. Yung tipong sukdulan ang init ng araw. And if you have an idea of the place you'd know why 12noon is not the perfect time to roam around Walkway and visit the stations of the cross. Sooo.. fasten your seat belts as I make kwento of our long day just to wait for Walkway. Ooh, that ryhmed. :P

First stop. Lunch at Tokyo Tokyo, Market Market. Ano ba, paulet-ulet? paulet-ulet? Hahaha! :)) We stayed there for quite a long time. Perfect for catching up with life stories. If I haven't mentioned {obvious ba, miss?} I was with my sister and a friend whom I didn't see for months. Kwentuhan, daldalan, picturan. Pero camera shy si friend, so sa picturan part kami lang ng froglette sister ko. :D

pinagbiyak na ilong :P

 
Next stop. Timezooneee! I missed shooting so much. Masamang magcompare, pero mas namiss ko pa ang shooting kesa sa friend ko. Charot. You know I love you, Jhov! :* We were beating each other out. Luckily this is my blog, so I'm declaring myself as the winner. Woot Woot! Better luck next time, losers. L-)

the kind of  'fun' that's worth all the sweat

And because we got tired.. next stop.. Starbucks. You know, conyos like us usually kill time at Starbucks just chillin'. You know, like, uhmmm.. Hahaha! At ayun nga, dahil conyo kami, wala kaming iPad at naglaro na lang kame ng SOS. Haha! I truly believe that only boring people get bored. I thank you, bow. :P

please don't think she's hiding because of legal cases

Oops. We're not yet over. Our last stop before finally visiting Walkway, the movie house for Hunger Games. Have you seen the movie? If no, go buy a pirated DVD. You have to see it. It's nice. I didn't read the book so I have no expectations. The movie alone got me interested in the whole story I ended up researching about it at home. Haha!

may the odds be ever in your favor
photos {except for the tix} from Google

AND FINALLY!! Walkway 2012.

Walkway is an interactive stations of the cross put up by Church Simplified. There are 14 stations each explaining what Christ had to endure to save us. Towards the end of each station there is an "Act" part where you'll really get to reflect on your actions especially towards other people. I have to admit I am not that religious but visiting Walkway somehow made me feel lighter and on a cleaner slate. It was just a matter of how you participated in the entire activity. As for me, I took it by heart seriously. ♥

the not-so-usual stations of the cross

It was indeed a long, not to mention expensive, day-out but it was worth it. Christ is worth it. Do I get an Amen? ♥

things i love: september

Today, i write again. Charot! Nagpupumiling Patty Laurel lang. :P

Anyway, I terribly missed blogging. I've been gone for almost two months now. Blogging Hiatus? Writer's Block? Na-ah, let's just call it laziness. Haha! :P But really, aside from the fact that I didn't have a life for almost two months, it was just all laziness. Kill me now. I am such an irresponsible blogger.

Now let's get down to business. Obviously, this is a "things I love" post, September {and August?} edition. Basically to share what I've been doing for the last couple of months. Like anyone is interested, huh? Hold tight, fasten your seat beeelts.. this is going to beeee.. BORING! Hahaha! :))

First off, I've been eating chocolates! Yep, you read that right! My addiction is definitely back. And I don't think it has plans of leaving again anytime soon. So just in case you are aware of any cure, please do let me know. You wouldn't want me to die of Diabetes, would you? :P

Coeur de Suisse
swiss chocolate that melts in your mouth, not in your bag hahaha
it never melts, I swear! only that it gets softer, of course

Ritter Sport
in minis.. because I can't decide what to get
and my wallet can't afford to get 'em all in regular sizes

Lindt
my new favorite ♥

Next, I've been reading books. Mitch Alboms' to be specific. One day, I only got bored waiting for a friend so I dropped by National Bookstore and got Tuesdays with Morrie. Next thing I know, I have his four books. I'm done with Tuesdays with Morrie and For One More Day. Currently reading Five People You'll Meet in Heaven. Kelan pa ko naging bookworm? Since I lost my social life. Hahaha!

Tuesdays with Morrie was borrowed by a friend
hello friend, can I have my book back na? :P

Third on the list is watching movies. I've been downloading movies and buying DVDs. I have my new favorite movie, Everybody's Fine starring Robert De Niro. It was so touching {or utterly depressing?}. I cried yet again. It was a family drama, what can I do? Ehem, excuses.

via
Everybody's Fine

Having said movies, mawawala ba si Ms. Aniston? Haha! I just finished The Switch last night. What's in queue? The Break-Up and Marley & Me. Someone help me download puhlease, andami pa niyang movies sabi ni pareng Wikipedia. :S

And a "Things I Love" list is never without shopping. I have few purchases here and there. It maybe my first love but it's definitely not the apple of my eye today. Maybe tomorrow na lang ulet? Haha! Ano daw?

Lastly, my promotion. Naglevel up ang lola mo from Senior to Analyst Programmer. In all honesty, I wasn't expecting it. Though performance wise I think I deserve it {ahem ahem, ubo ubo}, tenure wise {if ever there's such term} I just think it's early. Nevertheless, it happened. It's God's love, really. ♥

So there. That was my anti-social way of spending two months of my life. I'll be back to regular programming as soon as I get my life back. Hahaha! Last week was a good start. I have Ace Water Spa aka girl bonding story for you guys! That's up next. So stay tuned. Meanwhile, let's all have a goodnight sleep.

PS.
most pictures were taken using my super high end camera phone
bear with me. :D
