I've Been Doing a Lot of Thinking

... and I think, "He truly was an ass."

There. I typed it so I won't forget. No hard feelings. Just have to remind myself not to go "that way" again.

"Won't you change the destiny of my life and bring good weather to my late winters? -Francois Mainard

Nice Woman: Dito na lang kayo sa office namin, if you're single you might find love here.
Euns: [sa isip lang nya] Naku, wag po. Di pa ako nakakarecover.

Eunice: The Apprentice

Ok, things definitely fall into their proper places. My internship at the Office of the Ombudsman will be starting this Monday and the Agra Internship'll start on the 13th of May. Woohoo.

KAMUSTA NAMAN?

Ichie: [Nanonood kami ng tahimik, out of the blue] Ate, siguro di ka na talaga papayat no?
Euns: [tingin ng masama] Salamat ha.

Habang nanonood ng Til There Was You
Daddy: Anak, sa ngayon pala kamukha mo si Judy Ann.
Euns: [gives dad a "I know what you're trying to pull look"]
Daddy: Pag tumanda ka at di ka nag-diet, si Marissa Delgado na kamukha mo.
Euns: [I knew it]

Mom: Buti naman nagpagupit ka na. Kasi dati, para ka nang di lang Nazareno e, pinaghalong Hagrid at Nazareno.

Hazel: Ate, sino ba si ___? Un lagi mo ka-text?
Euns: Friend ko.
Hazel: Ano ka ba! Ang tanda tanda mo na, friends parin? Mag-boyfriend ka naman!

I LOVE MY FAMILY.

Sharing Differences

"I don't wanna be with a man who's just like me. I wanna be with somebody who can give me something I can't attain by myself. I want to share differences." -Ally Mc Beal

That's why I am looking for an artist husband. Haha. I want my complement. I want someone who will not complete me but would fit the puzzle piece that is me. Soon. Soon.

New sem, new issues. Diba?

BLUE EYES BLUE

I thought that you'd be loving me.
I thought you were the one who'd stay forever.
But now forever's come and gone
And I'm still here alone.

'Cause you were only playing,
You were only playing with my heart.
I was never waiting,
I was never waiting for the tears to start.

It was you who put the clouds around me.
It was you who made the tears fall down.
It was you who broke my heart in pieces.
It was you, it was you who made my blue eyes blue.
Oh, I never should have trusted you.

I thought that I'd be all you need.
In your eyes I thought I saw my heaven.
And now my heaven's gone away
And I'm out in the cold.

'Cause you had me believing,
You had me believing in a lie.
Guess I couldn't see it,
I guess I couldn't see it till I saw goodbye.

Chorus

'Cause you were only playing,
You were only playing with my heart.
I was never waiting,
I was never waiting for the tears to start.

It was you who put the clouds around me.
It was you.

It was you who put those clouds around me.
It was you who made those tears fall down.
Only you who broke my heart in pieces.
It was you, it was you who made my blue eyes blue.
Oh, I never should have trusted you.

Oh, I never should have trusted you.
Oh, I never should have trusted you.
Oh, I never should have trusted you.

Scar Tissue

"Scar tissue is stronger than normal skin tissue."

So, the next time that you get wounded, you must be happy that it's a scientific fact, you are definitely stronger.

Ana, para sa'yo to.

YOU MADE ME STRONGER

Is it hard to believe I’m okay
After all, it’s been awhile
Since you walked away
I’m way past crying
Over you finding someone else
You turned my days into nights (days into nights)
But now I see the light
And this maybe a big surprise to you

But you’ve made me stronger
By breaking my heart
You ended my life
And made a better one start
You taught me everything
From falling in love
To letting go of a lie
Yes, you’ve made me stronger
Baby, by saying goodbye

If you try to believe I’m not over you
Go ahead
There’s nothing wrong with making believe
I know
Cuz I used to pretend you’d come back to me
But time has been such a friend
Brought me to my senses again
And I have you to thanked (I have you to thanked)
For setting me free (for setting me free)

Cuz you’ve made me stronger
By breaking my heart
You ended my life
And made a better one start
You taught me everything
From falling in love
To letting go of a lie
Yes, you’ve made me stronger
Baby, by saying goodbye

Think again
Don’t feel so sorry for me, my friend
Oh, don’t you know
I’m not the one at the losing end (I’m not the one)

Cuz you’ve made me stronger
By breaking my heart
You ended my life
And made a better one start
You taught me everything
From falling in love

Of Broken Things and Surprises

It is sad that friendships are affected by the saddest of circumstances. I hope and pray that things eventually work out so the hearts that were broken along the way can be said to have been broken not in vain. May all broken souls finally become whole...

It's true. It is in times like these that we realize how strong we are. Sometimes, we surprise ourselves with the things that we are capable of. And sometimes, we are surprised by the things that friends are willing to do for us.

I love surprises, especially pleasant ones. They make me believe that these surprises, though occasional, are meant to not only make me smile but also hold on...

Unrequited Love

"I became aware that the invincible force that has moved the world is unrequited, not happy, love..." -Memories of My Melancholy Whores by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

It is true. A lot of things have been written and said about love and a majority of these stories, essays and random notes are about love that's been kept secret, that's not been reciprocated . I guess that's how a lot of almost love stories are made, when love starts as one-sided and ends still one-sided. In reality, it may seem sad, tragic perhaps... but love that's unconditional, that continues to exist without hope of being rewarded, that continues to care without being acknowledged is, for me, the most special, cherished and difficult of all loves.

Nobody said that love should always be among lovers, mutual and sweet. It can be a love that is satisfied with looking from afar, or of merely knowing that the other exists, without hope of being loved in return. Tragic and simple. Bitter and eternal. Unrequited love is a force that's far stronger than anything that the world could ever grasp. Its beauty is deep and mysterious... complex and permanent.

GOOD [F]LUCK

Den: "Ah it's ok. Next week's good. Di naman nagp-prescribe ang paghear ng Mass. Enjoy the party then. And thanks. I need all the fuck I can get, things are so fucked up." WHAT DID YOU JUST TELL ME? Parang tigang na tigang a.
Euns: Ha it doesn't involve katigangan ok. All I'm saying is that we'll see next week and that i'm emotionally unstable right now that's why I need to go to mass and I need to be lucky coz I have five more exams. Don't you psychoanalyze me the wrong way. Di ka reliable at wala ka credibility sa pag-accuse ng katigangan. =P
Den: Sabi mo kasi you need all the fuck you can get e. Un pala you meant luck. Haha.
Euns: Ay Pota. Great. I am deeply embarrassed. Pota talaga. Tumatawa ako mag-isa dito. Leche.
Den: Tawang tawa rin ako e. Haha. Yaan mo, may mabibitag ka ding Adan. Wag nga lang un original na Adan, tanda na siguro un. Pag nakita mo na ang Adan mo, kahit dahon ng Santan lang ang idamit mo dun. Haha
Euns: Tangina. I can't imagine what you must've thought of me prior to the explanation. Pota talaga. Buti na lang you're not going to Rockwell today. Nahihiya talaga ako. CLassic. I shall blog about it, pero I won't say it's you.
Den: Hoy, hindi ko kinonsider. At parang ok pumunta Rockwell a. Kung buhay ay dyaryo, ito ung page sa entertainment section. Haha. Although, pwede din headline.
Euns: Putangina talaga. Sabi ko na nga ba may mali today e. Di pa talaga ako nakakarecover sa kahihiyan. Parang gusto ko maounta sa OBITUARIES. Grabe talaga.
Den: Haha, alam mo kung san ka dapat pumunta? Sa CLASSIFIED ADS!
Euns: Pakyu! Pakyu ka talaga! Cge add insult to the injury. Langya ka. Ikaw ay isang malaking tabloid!
Den: Haha. O cge na. Tama na. Ok lang yan. Concentrate on your exam. Goodluck. Haha. Now it feels funny saying that.
Euns: Wait, wait. You are such an sham. I rechecked what I sent and YOU FREAKING EDITED IT! Fraudulent! All this time I seriously believed that's what I texted! Ang gullible ko!
Den: Hahaha. Bothered talaga ah. Baka nagkaroon ng glitch ang networks. Haha
Euns: Asshole ka, asshole ka! I BELIEVED YOU! Sama mo. Pero 'twas a good laugh. Thanks badly needed that. Pero asshole ka parin. Now I have my peace of mind back.
Den: Hahaha, sorry. I had to test you. You keep on telling me di kita kaya asarin e. Haha. You should never really underestimate anyone.
