【MORPHEUS】
It is sometimes a mistake to climb;
it is always a mistake never even to make the attempt.
If you do not climb, you will not fall.
This is true.
But is it that bad to fail, that hard to fall?
.
.
.
Sometimes you wake, and sometimes, yes, you die.
But there is a third alternative.

【TODD】
And sometimes, when you fall, you learn to fly.

All mixed up in the wash
Hot water bleeding our colors
All mixed up in the wash
Hot water bleeding our colors

Now hang me up to dry
You wrung me out too, too, too many times
Now hang me up to dry
I’m pearly like the white-whi-whites of your eyes

【 Cold War Kids | Hang Me Up To Dry 】

“oi!”

tumigil ka sa paglalakad, kumawala sandali mula sa kapit ng iyong sariling mundo, at lumingon-lingon. hinahanap mo ang pinanggalingan ng tinig na yun. saka mo lang nawari na gwakanangshet para kang na-time-space-warp.

ang setting: velasquez road — malapit sa college of science libe, up diliman. mga alas kuwatro ng hapon. circa early 2000-something. papaano kang napunta sa setting na ito?

Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
And you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet

Oh I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you darling
Still I’d be on my feet
I’d still be on my feet

【 Joni Mitchell | A Case of You 】

—————–

I’ve heard this song before but sort of forgot about it (just like every single thing actually, nothing ever stays in my mind anymore, you see). And then Madam brought it up again during the mini-jam-session last Friday and well, can I just say that Joni Mitchell is frikkin’ awesome?

List mada under construction. Hehe. Iyung ibang kelangan ko i-survey ay nag-MIA eh. Interesting pa naman ang mga sagot nun, at baka di na ka-post-post :P Hehe.

Mula sa twitter page ko:

alec: i can’t understand the world…………..

tinats: @alec sinabi mo pa!

meemax: @alec naku wag mong dagdagan ang masalimuot na mundo ni tinats. ang mundong walang conflict pero nagkakaconflict. wahahahah. peace!

tinats: @meemax @alec out of nowhere sumusulpot ang virtual conflict. kelangan pa i-cast. (huwaaat?!) amfufung memory prob to (huwaaat?!)

I just really don’t get the world sometimes — well, no, scratch that out, make that almost all the time. My head’s gonna burst due to all the things that I don’t wanna think about but I kinda have to since they’re all here anyway.

Haaaaay, world, you sneaky sneaky you. You really like to throw curve balls at me, don’t you? Tsk. You keep doing that but I still don’t know whether to get out of the way or hit those pitches like there’s no tomorrow. I’m sorry but it takes a while for me to figure things out and see which is which. Your curve balls shatter the order of my universe and I’m left confused and discombobulated for days (or weeks or months). Ugh. What on earth — I don’t even play baseball! I should stop using these analogies and stick to those geeky ones. Bahala na lang kayong mandiri sa ka-nerdox-han na yan.

But anyway, see the thing is, life (and this blasted world and this frikkin’ universe) hurls into you some unexpected and out of the blue happenings that are of the omfg-san-galing-yun and wth-ano-na-ang-nangyayari variety. Hay, not all people can go with the flow or adapt to those unexpected things. I’m one of those people who are just plain useless in that area.

Argh. I don’t want to think about this because I don’t really need to think about this and my head is hurting like hell from all the lack of sleep and the chu-hi(gh) that I’ve chugged this past week and all the thinking that I’ve been doing about THIS.

Demmit.

I’m very fond of puns. And earlier, in the train ride from Keio-Nagayama to Shinjuku, I realized that there’s something really really really clever about this thing that’s been in my head for quite some time now (I know, it’s an anomaly coz normally, nothing is stored inside this useless brain — stupid memory, I blame you). Hahaha. OMG astig lang haha. Oh the fun with double (triple, quadruple, quintuple … n-tuple) meanings. Hee.

———————–

Remember my wawents ode to Shinjuku-Eki? If not, refresher here.

So yun. I went to Shinjuku yesterday to meet up with Meemax and go lens-window-shopping (na palpak desu, bigo ang Kilcher ahuhuhu). Argh~ness ever, I got lost again — and twice pa! Pinakamalala when I was trying to find the Keio West Gate so I could take the Express Train to Hashimoto. I found myself wandering aimlessly at the JR-sen East Gate and I was really dizzy what with lack of sleep and those damn chu-hi(gh)s last night! Buti na lang I entered the JR gate and voila, I found myself at the place that I was trying to find.

My gash. Shinjuku-Eki na kaya ang pinakamalaking challenge ng buhay ko? Hahaha. That or baka ang paghihintay kay “ikaw” na hanggang ngayon wala pa din? Hahaha ulit. Can’t decide — pareho lang ng level of difficulty yan eh. Tsk.

———————–

Kilcher: Inaantok na ako.

Doppleganger: Kelan ba hindi?

Kilcher: At masakit na ang ulo ko.

Doppleganger: Yan ba ang missing link dun sa linya mong “ang dami kong gagawin, nasusuka ako”?

Kilcher: I think I need to sleep.

Doppleganger: You shouldn’t think. You should know.

Kilcher: Wala na kasi sense tong pinagsasabi ko.

Doppleganger: Kailan ka ba nagkaron ng sense, aber?

Kilcher: Tse. Buzet.

Asar tong si Doppleganger ah. Mas kilala pa niya ko kesa sa sarili ko. Gash.

Commercial Desu Kedooooo ….

STORM DOUSED THE FEVER this morning. Hay, finally, a win. And Birdy played awesome, yeah yeah yeah! Pero weirdly enough, our three-game-skid this past week wasn’t enough to bring down my spirits. Ang weird ng pakiramdam, parang may sanib lang. Ewan ko na lang kung ano to and I ain’t wasting any brain cells trying to wade through the muddy and murky waters of uncertainty and whatever else — ah basta. Ewan ewaaaan ewaaaaaaaaaaaaan, kanta na lang tayo ng mga kanta ni Marie Digby. Yebbers!

———————–

Okay, hontou ni bangag da yo. I should sleep bago pa dumami ang sahog nitong word salad ko.

Ijou desu.

Minsan lang ako maging cheesy so PAGBIGYAN NIYO KO NGAYON hahahaha.

The thing about love
Is I never saw it coming
It kinda crept up and took me by surprise
And now there’s a voice inside my heart that’s got me wondering
Is this true, I want to hear it one more time

Move in a little closer
Take it to a whisper
Just a little louder

Say it again for me
Cuz I love the way it feels when you are telling me that I’m
The only one who blows your mind
Say it again for me
It’s like the whole world stops to listen
When you tell me you’re in love
Say it again

Thing about you is you know just how to get me
You talk about us like there’s no end in sight
The thing about me is that i really want to let you
Open that door and walk into my life

Move in a little closer
Take it to a whisper
Just a little louder

Say it again for me
Cuz I love the way it feels when you are telling me that I’m
The only one who blows your mind
Say it again for me
It`s like the whole world stops to listen
When you tell me you`re in love

And it feels like it`s the first time
That anybody’s ever brought the sun without the rain
And never in my whole life
Have I heard words as beautiful as when you say my name

Say it again for me
Cuz i love the way it feels when you are telling me that I’m
The only one who blows your mind
Say it again for me
It’s like the whole world stops to listen
When you tell me you’re in love
Say it again

When you tell me you`re in love…
Say it again.
