Coming soon...

Too many blogposts... so little time...

I've got many things to share and hopefully I'll have enough time to write everything here!

I'll be posting some things pretty soon, once I've gone back down to earth. :)

patience my dear kiddies, patience...

Hindi ako naloko si Santa... (at ni yaya)

In response to Knight's blog question of the week: "Sino ang naloko si Santa Clause"

Did I ever believe in Santa? I have 4 older brothers, go figure! Those bastards always had a certain smirk on their faces every time my yaya tells me I should be nice so that I’d get a present from some jolly old fat guy.

A flying fat dude with gifts? Really yaya, really?

Side note: My yaya really did say that Santa flies… and I quote,

“oo, nakita ko sya kagabi, lumilipad, (sabay turo sa may garahe) tapos iniwan yang malaking istaf toy”

(now that I think about it, di kaya drug adik pala itong si yaya?)

Anyway, going back...

Basically, living in a household where I was the center of jokes and tricks, I kind of figured this whole “Santa business” was just some sort of trickery. (Now you know why I have trust issues… hehehe…)

I don’t remember writing any letters, but I do remember hanging my lacey white school socks near my window one Christmas eve. Not because I believed I’d get gifts from some mysterious entity, but because my brothers tipped me off that my dad will be putting new and crispy bills that year.

The following morning, though, instead of money, I got a letter saying:

“Over aged ka na. Wala ng rega-regalo.
Love, Santa”

which was obviously written by my dad.

Yeah, my very own parents used Santa’s name in vain just to pull my leg. Now you know where I got my sick humor.

it's that time of the month, maybe...

I'm not quite sure if I've posted this song before...
But tonight, it's the song that keeps playing in my head over and over again.

I Just Wasn't Made For These Times
(Sixpence None The Richer)

I keep looking for a place to fit in
where I can speak my mind
and I've been trying hard to find the people
that I won't leave behind

they say I got brains
but they ain't doing me no good
I wish they could

each time things start to happen again
I think I got something good goin' for myself
but what goes wrong

sometimes I feel very sad
sometimes I feel very sad
sometimes I feel very sad

I guess I just wasn't made for these times

every time I get the inspiration
to go change things around
no one wants to help me look for places
where new things might be found

where can I turn when my fair weather friends cop out
what's it all about

each time things start to happen again
I think I got something good goin' for myself
but what goes wrong

sometimes I feel very sad
sometimes I feel very sad
sometimes I feel very sad

I guess I just wasn't made for these times

I guess I just wasn't made for these times
I guess I just wasn't made for these times
I guess I just wasn't made for these times
I guess I just wasn't made for these times

happy... :)

No One

I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Everything is gonna be alright
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is everything is gonna be alright

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
You you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you

When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain

You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry cause
Everything is gonna be alright
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is everything is gonna be alright

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
You you
Can get in the way of what I feel

I know some people search the world
To find something like what we have
I know people will try
Try to divide
Something so real
So till the end of time
I'm telling you there is no one

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
Oh oh oh...
Oh oh oh...
Oh oh oh...

Drenched Island

It's raining since last night until now...

Apparently, it's not just in our area.The entire island is under attack by those nasty rain clouds!

I sure hope this won't be the case by Dec 26-31.

On hanging-up...

I hate it when I know that I have to hang-up the phone. It's like having a really awesome dream, only to be startled and later, disappointed, when someone wakes you up just when you're about to get to the good part.

I guess the only thing nice about the idea of hanging-up is that I'm certain that just before the call ends, I'll hear "bye! I love you..."

... and no dream can sound that good...

I know, I know... yet another keso post... :)
