EVERYBODY WANTS SOMEBODY

Patrick Stump

'Soul Punk'

I, tonight, I feel like being alone.
If you don't mind, if you don't mind
would you please be so kind
to close the door behind you.
It's been a long, long time
since I found this line of doubt
how low.

So I deny I feel like,
I feel like, I feel, baby now

Everybody wants somebody
who doesn't want them,
or want somebody else, baby.
You want somebody?
Oh, you want someone?
Somebody else, somebody else
And don't get hurt, don't you get hurt.
And don't get hurt, don't you get.
And don't get hurt, don't you get hurt now.
And don't get hurt, don't you get.

A young man is a pulled pin
looking for the grenade, hey.
A you woman will drive you to places
you never meant to go.
But epiphany is such a clich.
Whoa, there's plenty of fish in the wrong sea
Like there's a premium on mystery again
Just hold me, distract me.
Dress me up in bubbles, baby
Save me from the troubles
of my own skin.

Everybody wants somebody
who doesn't want them,
or want somebody else, baby.
You want somebody?
Oh, you want someone?
Somebody else, somebody else
And don't get hurt, don't you get hurt.
And don't get hurt, don't you get.
And don't get hurt, don't you get hurt now.
And don't get hurt, don't you get.

Patrick Stump - Everybody Wants Somebody

If it's chef-level stuff, neither can I.

Even if I'm the kind of guy who thinks Makati to Cubao is still walking distance?

When you think about what makes her happy, even if it's no longer you.

Coming out of a room with another lady, a friend would probably say...

"Dude, don't worry, what happens in ------, stays in ------."

But instead of that I hear...

"Dude, don't worry, what happens in ------...IS MADE IN ------!"

Yes, but according to a news report. I'm supposed to be dead.

Elsewhere.

Around Lake Como in Italy, driving a classic Shelby Cobra.

Alternatively, Bora Bora or any of its nearby islands.

Silence is worth a thousand angry thoughts, hurt feelings and spiteful words, compressed into a moment so quiet it is almost impossible to endure on the receiving end.

Green Day - Basket Case

Damage control. Go for a crash landing. Pray everything holds. Rebuild. Fly again.

As much as I'd like to say to try your best to avoid this kind of relationship, to those who are indeed pushed to follow this course by their L, their heart or by their own free will, just some words for you. My opinions at the most, but if it helps, you're welcome.

Respect, understanding and trust are key. If you do fall for your thera, make damn sure you're capable of understanding what they have to go through just to support themselves or their families. If you can't pull them out and bring them to live another life, your selos, or drive to be the one and only to them only makes their lives harder, and has no place in the relationship.

Understand that should the feeling be reciprocated and you do get max mileage, it's always a tough time thinking others get max mileage as well (just without the feelings, perhaps). It's also always a tough feeling to have feelings reciprocated and then you seeing the other actively seeking other clients to continue making a living. You better have what it takes to understand she needs the clients, no matter how much you might feel that she no longer has to because of you.

They're people like you too, meaning they're also looking for that break in their lives to feel good despite what they have to do. Make sure you're the person who treats them well, who makes them feel alive, and makes them feel appreciated despite their position.

Throw any normal notions of a relationship out the window, and if you do truly love her, help her. She has needs, fulfill it. Listen to her. Make her life easier. Understand that success here is probably the smallest and slimmest of chance in the world, and at the most, know you're most probably just a supporting actor watching over her, and there whenever she needs you.

And once again, I'll have to suggest one to stay clear as much as possible. If you do find yourself in it, however, make the best out of it. Everything might and most probably would not work out, but make sure it's an experience that brings out the best in you as much as it gives her one of the best moments in her life. Getting really hurt is a real thing in this kind of relationship, while you're in it and almost always at the end, but...that's the way it is.

Cheers. Carry on.

Basketball and arnis. Oh yes, patintero every time I go to and from work.

An explosion won't deafen you as much as silence will.

Para kang favorite coffee ko...masilayan lang kita, maamoy kita, at maramdaman ang init mo...nagigising na buong diwa ko't buo na ang araw ko.

Chvrches - Gun

May kusang nagbalik ng ballpen ko at work! HIMALA!

Sculpting with metal. Got the tools, material na lang.

Maybe just quickly, suddenly, while everybody's happy and having fun.

When nothing is chosen to be said. That's an ouch.

In Manila traffic, who doesn't? I do as well.

Even if I'm quite bipolar? But don't worry, I won't bite when I'm on my rock bottom mode.

P.S. I think I've interrupted something. My apologies. I'll give way,

Basic life support or fire extinguisher, I wonder...

Patrick Stump - Run Dry

So long as I see her smiling. I'm happy. Life's still ahead and someone else's road will run along with mine...someday.

Now that I realize it, I can attach Meredith Brooks' 'Bitch' to my lovelife. The song as a whole (far beyond the title) I think best describes the few, but best, ladies I've had the privilege of being mixed in with.

Finding something I long thought lost inside my own home.
