Alone, CHARLIE BROWN

How I can see myself in Charlie Brown's shoes. Poor boy. He first saw the girl and fell in love. It was love at first sight. He looked everywhere then his best friend gets the girl because he is too shy, very shy to even say "Hello". How much more if he tries to tell her that he loves her? "What a coward", you may say. But no. It's not cowardice, it's love and so much more.

AUSTRALIAN OPEN 2010 UPDATE

MY THOUGHTS on the upcoming game tonight (Saturday - January 30, 2010)

Women's Singles FINALS - SERENA WILLIAMS (USA) VS. JUSTINE HENIN (BEL)

This unseeded Belgian is up for some game. I honestly do not know who she was until I watched her play against Wickmayer. I thought, wow, this girl doesn't give up and goes for the game. She can play unbelievable tennis but I have doubts that she can win this year though she won her Aussies on 2004. But maybe she will. Who knows.

We all know Serena can really step up to the highest level on any game she plays. Her service alone can pave her way on a set. Good luck to the both of them! Can't wait tonight.

MY THOUGHTS on the upcoming game tomorrow (Sunday - January 31, 2010)

Men's Singles FINALS - ANDY MURRAY (GBR) VS. ROGER FEDERER (SUI)

Andy Murray beat my bet for Aussies, (defending champion) Rafael Nadal in the in the semifinals as Nadal had to retire because of his knee injury in the 3rd set and my sentiments go to Rafa. But I bet this upcoming finals will be epic. Andy can hold play hours and hours and hours and so on of play as well as Roger Federer. We all know how great Roger is.

I want Andy Murray to win. I know he can. I know he will. I watched every game he played since day 1. He's got the guts to defeat Roger. He is thirsty for his first grandslam title!

So I'd be eating my popcorn and drinking my booze on both matches!

Waiting On The World To Change

You can listen to the song HERE

ME

Man

I can't believe

That after all

This time

Thought

I had been better

And found reasons

To rhyme

All I wanted was to see

If the world could change

But then I had been so stupid

And acting strange

Jordin Sparks
Said

Take it

One step at a time

Coz

One will never know

If the price is right

I can't help but to expect

That life is unfair

Coz one day you're out

Then

You're back

In there

The rich is gettin' richer

The poor is gettin' poorer

So what now?

Oh

Wake me up

'til it's over

I have a dream

Like the noble

Martin Luther King

One day we'll realize

What beauty life can bring

It's either choice or chance

The time is tickin'

It's up to us

To enjoy the life we livin'

No more time for complainin'

Want this and that

The time is up

Why don't we all clean up our acts?

Uh

JOHN MAYER

Me and all my friends

We're all misunderstood

They say we stand for nothing and

There's no way we ever could

Now we see everything that's going wrong

With the world and those who lead it

We just feel like we don't have the means

To rise above and beat it

So we keep waiting

Waiting on the world to change

We keep on waiting

Waiting on the world to change

It's hard to beat the system

When we're standing at a distance

So we keep waiting

Waiting on the world to change

Now if we had the power

To bring our neighbors home from war

They would have never missed a Christmas

No more ribbons on their door

And when you trust your television

What you get is what you got

Cause when they own the information, oh

They can bend it all they want

That's why we're waiting

Waiting on the world to change

We keep on waiting

Waiting on the world to change

It's not that we don't care,

We just know that the fight ain't fair

So we keep on waiting

Waiting on the world to change

And we're still waiting

Waiting on the world to change

We keep on waiting waiting on the world to change

One day our generation

Is gonna rule the population

So we keep on waiting

Waiting on the world to change

We keep on waiting

Waiting on the world to change

MY LATEST TWEET SAYS

I deserve a fighting chance from you
I ain't got no idea when
But at least have the guts to tell me no
If that's what you meant

By your simple silence
Or by your short IMs
I could have a heart as hard as a stone
And a one that is so friggin' cold

Even If YOU Won't... I Still Will

Lying at a corner of my room crying, dying, wishing. I grabbed a pen and paper and wrote down everything that popped in my head.
Well the first thing that popped is the question "WHY". This word is never answered.

not yet done

CATHARSIS OF THE DAY (10-01-09)

I first thought that lying would get me out of anything. I, seriously, tried to live my life like that. So then I lied when I told her that I love her. Then again, I assume, I pay the price. Damn, I never learn. UGH!

List of the songs I am addicted to right now:
1. Sunlight by Plain White T's
2. Elevator by Junior Sanchez Ft. Joel & Benji Madden
3. Lost In London by Kid British
4. Before The Worst by The Script
5. I Never Knew You by Cage

You could listen to all the songs HERE

PeaceOut!

GRAMMATICALLY INCORRECT SIGNS

CATHARSIS OF THE DAY (07-31-09)

So sick of watching happy couples pass right in front of me
Thinking at the back of my mind when will MY TIME be?
I ain't even given the chance to show C
How'd you know US ain't meant to be?

Is it because I tend to LIVE a LIFE BEING ME?
Of being TRUE and enjoying a life that's free
As I said everybody deserves to be happy
Better if it's YOU and ME

Experience wise?
It's a fools demise.

EXCERPTS

"You do not hear me, but still I ask it: if I left, would you follow my trail, would you collect the bones of stories they would tell about me and wear them as a pledge; and most of all, oh most of all- what would you give up, for that glimpse of me you will risk again and again to see: a figure under broken lamplight, the endpoints of my cape flying upward to the moon because finally nothing, not even the magnetism of emptiness, could withhold from us the ache, the promise of such music-"

Luisa Igloria

"I myself may have chosen to forget a face, a name, some cruel word uttered carelessly, but not, after all the harm is done, intending any pain. And many others may have chosen to forget me. It works both way. My people say, nasa huli ang pagsisisi: regret is the final emotion. It's what you see when you look back. It's what's no longer there."

Eric Gamalinda

CATHARSIS OF THE DAY (07-25-09)

Why did I even call you and confessed about all my feelings inside? Why do I love you still? I should have stuck to my plan - to ignore you and pretend that you do not exist. It worked for 6months. And now after a hard and long ignorance it fell to this crap. I know I can't control this emotion anymore but I don't want to fall and be with you again. Ok, I can't avoid you because we study at the same building, but trust me, I will not be pulled by your string again.
