un giorno cosi - 883

the song that caught my attention when i watched letters to juliet. 

  

travel

far
fast.
slow.
fast again.
slow down.
wait.
doze off.

blood boils.
snail's pace.
choke in smoke.

choke in smoke.

halfway
zoom.
stop.

wait.
wait.
move a bit.
wait.

waaaaaaaaaiiiiiiittt.
waaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiittttt.
blood boils.

destination.


and that, my friends, is my two-hour jeepney travel from marikina to san juan.
on a saturday.

would you be happier by the corrs

you're gonna be just fine (gonna be just fine)
i think you're gonna be just fine
don't worry baby
you're gonna be just fine
don't worry honey
you're gonna be just fine
don't worry baby
i think you're gonna be just fine

alice by avril lavigne

lyrics:

Trippin out
Spinning around
I'm underground
I fell down
Yeah I fell down

I'm freaking out, where am I now?
Upside down and I can't stop it now
Can't stop me now, oh oh

I,I, I'll get by
I,I, I'll survive
When the world's crashing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me
I,I, I won't cry

I found myself in Wonderland
Got back on my feet, again
Is this real?
Is this pretend?
I'll take a stand until the end

I,I, I'll get by
I,I, I'll survive
When the world's crashing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me
I,I, I won't cry

I,I, I'll get by
I,I, I'll survive
When the world's crashing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me
I,I, and I won't cry 






emote-emote lang...

Balloons. Loot bags. Cake. Ice cream. Cotton candy. Games. Prizes. Plus the optional party host and magic/puppet show. These are just some of the things one can expect to find in a birthday party.

Some birthday parties have a theme, some don't. Some are extravagant, and some are simple. But either way, these parties are absolutely fun.

And in birthday parties, one can definitely see happy kids, parents, and guests, who are all there to join in the special day. 

The birthday celebrant is no doubt the star of the party. He or she gets to be the first volunteer in games or shows, the first in line for the loot bags, and of course, the one who gets to blow the candles on the birthday cake. Unless the baby brother or sister or an overexcited friend blows first.

Everybody laughs. Everybody claps. Everybody sings.

Mum and Dad give their birthday wishes.

Birthday boy or girl says thank you.

Or hides behind Mum and Dad, too shy to say anything.

How cute.

Sigh.

Sometimes I wish.
I could be a part of that mysterious yet not-so-mysterious world called parenthood.  
It must be wonderful to see your child's eyes shine bright with happiness.
That in itself is a gift enough to parents.

kababawan galore

ang saya pala mag-unli. how could i have ever thought that it's a waste of money.
