I had this song on loop almost the entire day yesterday at imeem. The song is comprised of amazing lyrics and simple tune. Entitled Chasing Pavements by Welsh jazz and soul singer Adele.
I've made up my mind,
Don't need to think it over,
If I'm wrong I am right,
Don't need to look no further,
This ain't lust,
I know this is love but,
If I tell the world,
I'll never say enough,
Cause it was not said to you,
And that's exactly what I need to do,
If I'm in love with you,
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere,
Or would it be a waste?
Even If I knew my place should I leave it there?
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere
I'd build myself up,
And fly around in circles,
Waiting as my heart drops,
And my back begins to tingle
Finally could this be it
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere,
Or would it be a waste?
Even If I knew my place should I leave it there?
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere,
Or would it be a waste?
Even If I knew my place should I leave it there?
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep on chasing pavements?
Should I just keep on chasing pavements?
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere,
Or would it be a waste?
Even If I knew my place should I leave it there?
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere
So why bother posting the lyrics of this song?
Because definitely that's the same situation where I am right now.
Yeah, chasing my own pavements but believing that it will lead to something.

25
There has been a fad happening on Facebook where you have to list down 25 things about you then you have to choose 25 friends who'll do the same. I'll follow the trend but with a little twist.
For a change, let me do that 25 I-believe-I'm-amazing list here at blogspot. Yeah fine, that's not a big change but at least I tried to somehow make it different. (agree?)
So, here is it. Hold on tight. (As if this is mind-blowing and you really care, but I know you care.)
1. I have been wearing my braces for 4 years already.
2. I love movie, movie dates, and movie sites. (Anything that has to do with movies)
3. I wear flip flop even when I go to work or to church.
4. I never get tired of going to SM Megamall after work with my officemates.
5. I love sitting near the window in public utility buses.
6. My cooking skills are terrible. But I know how to fry and microwave food. (whew!)
7. I have six piercings on my ear; three piercings on each ear.
8. My hair is naturally color brown.
9. I eat a lot but I don’t get fat.
10. I love to eat at Jollibee.
11. I have allergic rhinitis which causes me to sneeze every morning.
12. I’m fond of wearing skinny jeans.
13. There are times when I can’t leave the house without putting on blush on.
14. I love cocktails and liquors. (Alcoholic tendencies. Hehe)
15. I’m currently on the act to eliminate my lung-infesting habit.
16. I hate my small fingernails.
17. I hate my feet. (Aargh. Flat-footed.)
18. I love reading books from thrift stores.
19. I’m fond of watching crime stories. I’m interested on how they solve the case and knowing the criminal’s motive. Wooh.
21. I want to travel around Asia.
22. I want to develop more my skills as a web writer. Ehem.
22. I’m into rock music. Not hardcore but more on alternative.
23. I’m a couch potato. I can watch three TV shows simultaneously.
24. I used to fear writing. I’m so afraid to commit mistakes on grammar and tenses.
25. I’m glad to overcome that fear. I want to write. I’m free to write.
I'm not tagging anyone here at blogspot because obviously I can't do that. Make your own 25 things as well. You'll learn a lot about yourself.

What's with the Ox?
This is my first entry for the year. Oh yeah!
I've been inviting people to view my blog but then I wasn't able to update this site regularly. Sorry for that.
What's up with 2009? Hmmmm, let me think about that...
I'm waiting to become a regular employee here in my company, barely a month to go.
And then, I'm attending my graduation this coming April. Finally! The chance of marching onstage and receiving my diploma.
Also, I have been dying to own a laptop to pursue freelance writing to earn extra income.
Those are the things that will make my 2009 already memorable.
Lastly, for something that makes me blush this year, I realized that I found love with someone who does not wear Vans.

win-lose situation
In a span of six days, I've been to a hell of a roller coaster ride of my life.
I learned that things never and would not always go the way you want it to be. Twists and turns are always present. And sometimes, you can't avoid a sharp turn.
I made a wrong turn but it's not too late to fix the damage. There's never too late for anything. However, the hardest part for anything is when and how to begin. I think I already started redeeming everything that has been ruined. Good start, I hope.
However, for the nth time in my life, I'm stuck in twilight zone. The place where things have to be undefined and unknown. Or I'm just putting everything here just to at least make sense out of it all? Oh yeah, I'm being too analytical and it ruins the romance.
Amidst all the drama, there's also thing making me grateful. A simple gesture of playing my favorite song completes my day. Thank you.
Woah. 2008 was a blast.

The goodbye, the goodnight and the vampire
"...don't say goodbye say goodnight so it's not over
and if you try and answer why it's just over it's goodbye
I hope to see the dawn of daybreak and the sun rise to cloudless skies"
It caused goosebumps. Electricity running through my body every time I listen to this song.
A cycle of deep thoughts and satisfying feeling...all because of Binocular's Don't say goodbye, say goodnight.
Yeah, songs like this make me feel I'm alone but happy. And yet a hundred more inquiries of why life is complex and unpredictable.
The funny thing is I tend to be more dramatic in my writing as if a great writer's spirit came over me.
Enough of that. So Christmas is some weeks away.
No gifts in hand, not even a list of what to do. I'm on for the challenge to face the shopping frenzy.
Aside from that, my mind is lurking at Forks, Washington, following the love story of an ordinary girl and her blood-drinking boyfriend.
Simple joys...that mushy feeling of first love. Who doesn't forget that?
That's it. Goodbye for now, but it's not over.
and if you try and answer why it's just over it's goodbye

fin
End of the week. Friday.
All of yesterday's frustrations, stress and weariness were gone.
I'm so grateful that this week has come to an end.
Understatement: Looking forward for next week (wahaha!). So many things happening!
Moving on...
Christmas day is fast approaching and I haven't got the spirit yet. Why? I still don't have the dough to spend. I know that Christmas is not just about the material things. But I want this to be extra special since this would be the first Christmas that I've got a job.
Understatement: Gift tag says, to:________ from: theswankycommuter.
And there's a great thing that I'm really really looking forward for: April 2009! Why oh why? That's because I'll be attending my graduation. You heard it right. I finished my thesis last summer which meant I'll have my graduation the following year. A little more waiting and I'll be on stage receiving my diploma. (clap, clap!)
That's it for now. I can't help but smile and do a deep breath. Whew!
