WATCH STAGES OF LOVE!

2006-06-18T14:04:32Z

An amalgamation of well-loved OPM hits, Broadway classics, and contemporary favorites that have come to touch our hearts through the years, STAGES OF LOVE follows the journey of couples through entangled complexities of relationships as they eventually discover their own definition of love.

STAGES OF LOVE features popular songs from the Broadway (“Fallin” from They’re Playing Our
Song), Pop (“One Hello”, “Never Fall In Love Again”, “It Might Be You”), and the OPM genre (“Ale” by
The Apo Hiking Society, “Harana” by Parokya ni Edgar, “Limang Dipang Tao” by Ryan Cayabyab) to
name a few.

Oh, you have GOT to be kidding.

If one finds himself worried, affected and disheartened by the misfortunes which are not directly his own, to the point of being consumed completely, does it still justify the value of empathy? Or is there such a thing as “too much”?

Thou shalt not.

Oh joy.

and I'm back to High School, thankyouverymuch

1. Go into your LJ’s archive.
2. Find your 23rd post (or closest to).
3. Find the fifth sentence (or closest to).
4. Post the text of the sentence in your blog along with these instructions.
5. Tag 5 people on your friend list.

"Saan gawa ang TUPPERWARE?" hehe.. I'm soooo bad...

Oh dear, I forget the exact details to this entry, but I know I was bitter over someone I really hated regardless of how nice she was to me. Well actually, "hate" is probably too strong a word. The situation just called for me to not like her. But that was eons ago.. :)

Your turn, kryska, juane, kenneth, yas, alex :)

stop grinning, damn it.. üüü

shit, now I have to write this all over again..

Y'know the feeling when you enter a movie house w/ absolutely no idea what the flicks about, and when you do, you end up wanting to bang your head on the wall for sitting through such a crappy movie, fearing you may never regain the brain cells you lost from the stupidity of it all.
(movies like my boss' daughter, harold & kumar's white castle whatever and without a paddle = mind numbingly stupid)

Anyhoo, I watched SKELETON KEY last night (starring kate hudson) w/o knowing what it was all about, save for a recommendation from gabs, and I surprisingly loved it! Oh, and it did help that it wasn't a typical, run-the-mill horror flick. WATCH IT! WATCH IT! WATCH IT!

~*~

What IS the difference between an iMAC and and eMAC, aside from the latter being much bigger?

MIND FUCK.

2005-08-19T17:00:17Z

here's to complicating life one stupid move at a time.

Inspiraton comes from the most unexpected places. Yea, we ALL know that. And because I've got nothing better to do on a Friday night than mope in front of the computer and nurse this annoying cold, I resigned myself to sticking my nose into other people's lives. I can't say I'm proud, but hell was I floored.

I've been quiet for the longest time about this. Sure I'd occasionaly interject with nasty remarks to make me feel better, but the fact is that I haven't resolved anything. I feel like a kid constantly beaten up by the class bully; cries, gets over it without any confrontation whatsoever, grows up, but is scarred for life. I've constantly been screening everything I'd say, entries and pictures that I'd post just so the world wouldn't have to see what I had been through, with the hopes of me being able to deal with it intrinsically. BIG HAHA.

then I come across a series of entries..

I've never had the chance to exhaust everything (not even through my own journal, damnit), and seeing what she did made me want to whack my own head.
I can never, ever put myself in that level of vulnerability and I commend you. I went through, and still am going through, exactly the same thing (as to HOW exact is what's annoyingly amusing).
It made me think of how much I still had to say and how doing nothing about it only made things harder.

To hell with political correctness and censorship; might as well just get the shame, anger and frustrations over and done with.

~*~

You know what, we never really did get to finish this properly (and with properly, I mean as mature people not slowly disappearing from each other). I don't know where you are, what you're up to or how you've been doing and I know that's probably how you want the way things to be. I had hoped for things to be different from the first time this had happened, but as it turns out, it pretty much was just like High School all over again. (remember? judging how you are from your pics online, haha - aww cmon, you know it's no secret). I had at least expected, this time, something non-pretentious, but that didn't happen. Its been all too familiar; but you know what, I still can't bring myself to not care at all. I've been advised by soo many people, soo many times, and yet I find that the way I see you won't change. Ugh, you already know these things. I'm done with pretending and hiding and guessing and being all weepy and feeling all shitty. Bahala na si Batman.

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

I've been craving for KFC for the past few days and it was a rather weird (but pleasant nevertheless) surprise when the doorbell rang last night. I went out and there it was:

Someone HUNG a plastic of KFC hotshots on my gate. (as in on the grills of the gate - haha!)

thank youuuuuuu, pare.. :)

two-inch wide eyebags are just the thing

"But I'm not not sure
Not too sure how it feels
To handle every day
And I miss you love"

If only the south weren't so irritatingly far. But it's cool; no worries. swabe lang, pare.
Oh, and I totally agree with yah; things are great the way they are and can only get better.

~*~

Ayala has decided to extend its empire to the North - ergo the birth of their most recent baby, "AYALA UP NORTH", the newest addition to the Ayala mall chains to be situated right in front of SM City North Edsa. As to why they've decided to name it such – beats me. Accdg to Ken, they probably figured that since "Down South" had a really hip vibe to it, "Up North" would be just the same. [NOT]. And frankly, yeah, it does sound a lot like "Up Yours" - go figure. But oh well, I'm definitely watching out for the opening on December '06. I wonder how a ginormic Ayala Mall (and a LANDMARK, mind you!) would fare in the north..

~*~

Wuhooo.. I was number 9, for cryin' out loud! Everything turned out great, though. I was sooo proud of all the blueREP people who auditioned (and according to the panel, stood out among all the auditionees). Too bad rehearsals and shows are wayyy out of our schedule (rehearsals: 11am-3pm EVERYDAY except Sundays; shows: 10am & 2pm EVERYDAY = academic suicide). So unless schedule changes are made(and that is if we DO get in), looks like we're gonna have to pass it up for the meantime.
