dear you, my dearest, dearest you,

it was so good to see you again after all that time apart. two hours since i got home and i still can't stop smiling. i wish we could have had more time to talk, just the two of us, but i understand that you had to do your duty as the gracious host for the evening. still, it was enough that you spent most of the evening by my side though people were congratulating you left and right.

funny how some -- if not all -- the people we spoke to earlier this evening thought we were a couple. not surprising since we were being so sweet all night long. one of your staff members even went so far as to ask if i was your girlfriend, and i have to admit i was touched when you said "muntik na, muntik na talaga." you even scolded me when i tried to deny it. i had no choice but to agree.

after all these years, it's good to know that i wasn't the only one feeling the spark, that elusive undercurrent of something running through our so-called friendship. i'm somehow tempted to believe that there just might be another chance for us somewhere down the line. i'm tempted to believe that perhaps this time, our timing would be perfect, and things would fall into place. i guess we'll never know till we try, sweetie.

should we give this another chance? are you willing to take the plunge? are we ready to try, or is there too much time in between us? how i wish i had the answers to these questions.

let's just see, shall we? let's start with lunch and see where it goes. love or friendship, it's fine by me. after all, as sir jeremy irons once said, "love is friendship set on fire." let's see if we should still fan the flames, or simply allow the embers to smolder on forever.

with much love, as ever,

your m.

i usually just try to sleep off my migraines, but if i can't, i try to take the lowest drug dosage i can, mainly because i don't like bombarding my body with drugs. i usually try medicol or 250mg of dolfenol, and if it persists, i just try to ignore the pain. pag talagang di ko na kaya, i up my medication.

i had a migraine attack yesterday afternoon that lasted until around 2pm today. i even woke up whimpering from the pain at 4:30am. hay, i hate getting migraines.

i finally found someone -- mirror has two faces

i usually watch a movie on my own or grab a cup of coffee while reading a good book, but when the weather permits, i usually grab my camera and wander off somewhere in the metro to shoot. road trips with friends and little to no budget gimmicks are also great for destressing. sometimes just taking a small break to stare at the sky from my window is enough. it's good to appreciate the little things that make life interesting.

read

sleep!!!

mostly books, a few cds and dvds, an old computer, general junk that i'm loathe to throw away. yup, i'm a pack rat, i admit it.

masareal ng cebu! :thumbsupsmiley:

sir pnoize! sorry for not replying to your PM. it completely slipped my mind because i was checking it at work! sorry po talaga.

hello po sa lahat!

take the day off and relax from all the stress...

... but in reality, it's another work day for me. oh well.

7:36pm

sleepy. pauwi pa lang ako, e. also confused. dazed and confused, not a good combination.

6:44 pm

tanong: tapos na ba yung pinagagawa ko sa yo?

smart-aleck reply: alin dun sa 50,000 things na tinambak mo sa akin ang tinutukoy mo?

i woke up this morning to my good friend singing this at my side. what a lovely way to wake up, and what a perfect, perfect song for you. perhaps one day...

Waiting for a Star to Fall

Boy Meets Girl

I hear your name whispered on the wind

It's a sound that makes me cry

I hear a song blow again and again

Through my mind and I don't know why

I wish I didn't feel so strong about you

Like happiness and love revolve around you

Trying to catch your heart

Is like trying to catch a star

So many people love you baby

That must be what you are

Waiting for a star to fall

And carry your heart into my arms

That's where you belong

In my arms baby, yeah

I've learned to feel what I cannot see

But with you I lose that vision

I don't know how to dream your dream

So I'm all caught up in superstition

I want to reach out and pull you to me

Who says I should let a wild one go free

Trying to catch your heart

Is like trying to catch a star

But I can't love you this much baby

And love you from this far

Waiting for a star to fall

And carry your heart into my arms

That's where you belong

In my arms baby, yeah

Waiting (however long...)

I don't like waiting (I'll wait for you...)

It's so hard waiting (don't be too long...)

Seems like waiting (makes me love you even more...)

Waiting for a star to fall

And carry your heart into my arms

That's where you belong

In my arms baby, yeah.

funny the way life works.

A loves B, but B loves C, whom she thinks is "The One." in the meantime, D has fallen head over heels for A, but A is not interested. E wants D, but D only has eyes for A. F, on the other hand, is also interested in A, but A seems indifferent to her charms. and so the whole mad merry-go-round whirls faster and faster towards its inevitable conclusion. what it is, i have no idea.

have i thoroughly confused you? no worries, i've confused myself, too.

funny the way life works, eh?

Have A Little Faith In Me

When the road gets dark

And you can no longer see

Let my love throw a spark

And have a little faith in me

When the tears you cry

Are all you can believe

Just give these loving arms a try, baby

And have a little faith, faith in me

CHORUS:

Have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me

Have a little faith, faith in me

And when your secret heart

Cannot speak so easily

Come here baby

From a whisper start

To have a little faith in me

And when your back's against the wall

Just turn around and you will see

i will catch your, i will catch your fall

Just have a little faith, have faith in me

Have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me

Have a little faith, faith in me

Well, I've been loving you for such a long long time

Expecting nothing in return

Just for you to have a little faith in me

You see time, time is our friend

'Cause for us there is no end

And all you gotta do is have a little faith in me

I will hold you up, i will hold you up

And your love gives me strength enough to have a little faith in me

oh, have faith , oh, darling

Have a Little Faith In me

Faith

confused

have a little faith in me.

Afterglow

INXS

Here I am, lost in the light of the moon that comes through my window

Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divide the thorns from the roses

It's you and the roses

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow

Heal me from all this sorrow

As I let you go I will find my way when I see your eyes

Now I'm living in your afterglow

Here I am, lost in the ashes of time, but who wants tomorrow?

In between the longing to hold you again

I'm caught in your shadow, I'm losing control

My mind drifts away, we only have today

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow

Heal me from all this sorrow

As I let you go I will find my way

I will sacrifice 'til the blinding day when I see your eyes

Now I'm living in your afterglow

When the faith has gone as I let you go, as I let you go

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow

Heal me from all this sorrow

As I let you go I will find my way, I will sacrifice

Now I'm living in your afterglow

Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divide the thorns from the roses

It's you who is closest

OT: Thanks, sis Y-ohh-Y!

no worries, sir pnoize. that's also how i learned the little that i know, by asking my mentors questions. i'm just amazed that such good photographers actually take the time to teach newbies like me.

i'll try to post some pics soon. i'm going to be swamped with work from this week up till the first week of sept, though, so "soon" might actually be when i come home from the visayas. i'm going to beliving out of my suitcase for for the entire month of august.

cheers to everyone on the thread!

i posted a pic earlier but i don't see it now...hmmm..

 

i also don't see my reply to pussycatdoll.

 

pussycatdoll: jon is coming out with his coffeetable book called "O".

hi sir pnoize!

i already alerted the admins re: the missing post last night. apparently MTC is having problems refreshing, but they're working on it. they said to check back in a few hours and see if the post has reappeared.

really, a coffeetable book? wow, that would be an interesting addition to my (meager) photography book collection. any details on when it will be available, sir?

thanks for paying it forward, sir pnoize. i'm sure i speak for all of us on this thread when i say that we really, really appreciate it. cheers, sir! :thumbsupsmiley:
