wishful thinkings. random, nonsensical ramblings. and everything in between.
Oh wow.. I didn’t really realize that I haven’t written in a very long time.
I’m sorry, guys.. will try to update within the week. Been a bit busy and preoccupied (..and lazy, haha).
Will leave this coming weekend for a quick vacation.. I’ll share pics soon after, I promise :)
Babooshes for now!

Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it’s an ache I still remember
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I’ll admit that I was glad it was over
But you didn’t have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don’t even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and I feel so rough
No you didn’t have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don’t need that though
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
Part of me believing it was always something that I’d done
But I don’t wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn’t catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
But you didn’t have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don’t even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and I feel so rough
And you didn’t have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don’t need that though
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know
Somebody (I used to know)
Somebody (Now you’re just somebody that I used to know)
(I used to know)
(That I used to know)
(I used to know)
Somebody…

I was a bit busy over the Holy Week, but I really intended to write about this..
Around Holy Tuesday or Holy Wednesday, while Iena & I were strolling along the garden pathway in Greenbelt, we passed by an old man who seemed to be lost and confused. He approached us and asked if we had two pesos to spare so that he could buy bread. I thought to myself, “Two pesos? Baka walang mabili si lolo, nasa Greenbelt area pa naman siya.” So, I gave him twenty pesos. He was so happy when I gave him the P20 bill and said gleefully, “Pagpalain kayo ng Diyos, mga ineng!”
For some strange reason, this made me feel happy. I couldn’t even stop thinking about the old man for the entire day – that I could’ve given him more than 20 bucks or that I could’ve at least accompanied him to a fast food restaurant or bakery where I could make sure that he had something to eat. But we were just on our lunch break and I wasn’t sure if we had enough time. And well.. this entire thing really caught me offguard.
So, fast forward to night time.. I was taking note of all my expenses for the day. You see, I always write down all the money I’ve spent and the remaining amount in my wallet. I was sure the figures in my spreadsheet were accurate since I just updated it the night before. Surprisingly, I checked my wallet and it seemed that I had more money than what I expected to have — as in around P100-P200 more.
I just thought — Wow. Good karma is really fast. I couldn’t help but smile and think, maybe there was something about this old man. And oddly enough, it was Holy Week. It was probably God’s way of telling me that I’ve done good and that I should continue doing so. Not that I want material things in return for every good deed, but maybe it’s His way of telling me that goodness still does exist.
Wala lang… just thought I’d share. :)
And I’m happy to report that I’ve gotten back to reading. That also means that my Kindle that’s been gathering dust in the drawer is back in business ;)
I’ve managed to finish the Hunger Games trilogy over the long weekend and planning on reading the Steve Jobs biography (already purchased the e-book for my brother). I’m also contemplating on reading The Game of Thrones or Paulo Coelho’s Aleph. We also have the Stieg Larsson’s Millennium trilogy at home (from my dad), but they’re on paperback. Maybe that, too.
Hopefully I get to read more often now. I miss being a bookworm :)
I’ve had the Dolce Gusto machine for a while now, but I ordered the carousel from Amazon and had it delivered to Em when he was in the States. And I just really super love it :)
Here it is at work:
I also ordered some Iced Cappuccino capsules (they don’t have it here in Manila, boo!) Perfect with my favorite M&M’s.
Wala lang.. just wanted to share, haha >:p
