"All changes, even the most longed for,
have their melancholy; for what we leave
behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die
to one life before we can enter another."

My common sense is out the door, can't seem to find the lock ‘Tang-!#$%^@*@%^#&, three years na ako sa PNG! July 2003- July 2006
Half-life, tears, laughter, good friends, strange friends, lovers, trust, hypocrisies, sex, lies, seduction, wine, more wine, courage, defeat and love?
--- S.O.S. (Rescue Me) Rihanna
I'm obsessive when just one thought of you comes up I'm aggressive just one thought of closing up You got me stressing, incessantly pressing the issue 'Cause every moment gone you know I miss you I'm the question and you're of course the answer Just hold me close boy 'cause I'm your tiny dancer You make me shaken up, never mistaken But I can't control myself, got me calling out for help
S.O.S. please someone help me. It's not healthy... for me to feel this way Y.O.U. are making this hard, I can't take it, see it don't feel right S.O.S. please someone help me It's not healthy... for me to feel this way Y.O.U. are making this hard You got me tossin' and turnin' and can't sleep at night
This time please someone come and rescue me 'Cause you on my mind it's got me losing it I'm lost, you got me lookin' for the rest of me Love is testing me but still I'm losing it This time please someone come and rescue me 'Cause you on my mind, it's got me losing it I'm lost, you got me looking for the rest of me, Got the best of me, so now I'm losing it
Just your presence and I second guess my sanity Yes it's a lesson, it's unfair, you stole my vanity My tummy's up in knots so when I see you I get so hot My common sense is out the door, can't seem to find the lock Take on me (uh huh) you know inside you feel it right Take me on, I could just die up in your arms tonight. I'm out with you, you got me head over heels Boy you keep me hanging on the way you make me feel
Boy, you know you got me feeling open And boy, your loves enough with words unspoken I said boy I'm telling you, you got me open I don't know what to do it's true I'm going crazy over you, I'm begging

Snivel, Whimper, Wail, Bawl
Two-time comedian of the year, I was back in high school. My blog miserably failed to measure up to expectations.
My Caucasian friends are too nice to confess that they don’t find me funny. It’s rocket science to pull off a punch line in your fourth tongue (Ilocano being my first; Tagalog, third).
But hell yeah, I am so sure I have humor. ________
It’s right to weep over the pages of Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s or over a Darfur or East Timor documentary. Tact even to spare pairs of sobs and tears with Julianne Moore on “The Hours”. But where should I place my crying over “Maalaala Mo Kaya?” (“Will you fuckin’ remember?”).
Maybe I was crying for no reason. That’s not impossible. The sad plight of a loving brother who whored-up his twink-y fairy self and joined a squad of gay prostitutes to support his brother in rehab is a plot apt enough to cry along to. But I cried long after the show. I was crying still while watching the re-run of “The Glass House”, which an obvious irony as it is, I was chuckling about few days back.
I write about this thing hoping answers take shape as I draw thoughts of sense or (as always) otherwise in this entry. True enough, as you read along and I write about, this babble jabber points the answer somewhere on the other side of the universe.
I’m writing on this no further. I’m not crying (anymore) either.

Blogsarry
my malaysian-chinese friend eric thought as his first impression of me that i butter my bread along the runways of manila’s fashion thoroughfare. actually that’s close enough: i’m an accountant slash graduate student on a.w.o.l. of unprecedented sense of style with a humble persona to match.
