New fave song!!!

Ive been hearing this song on the radio, but it was only a few minutes ago, amidst the concepts time dilation and length contraction, that I realized how BEAUTIFUL (pun not intended) this song us.

I know its heartbreaking and all, but what the heck, I like it. Ahehe. And think about it, the composer says he wrote it for the girl who broke his heart. Thats one major OUCH for that girl. Bleh. :P

You're Beautiful

by: James Blunt

My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
F**king high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

Anyway, back to Physical Science! Di nako mag-aaral sa English. Scan na lang ng handouts. Lol. Kakatamaaaad.

But hey, this would be our last First Term Finals, Seniors. Sulitin na natin. :P

[ and the winds that blow remind me,of what has been, and what can never be... ]

------------------

I went to Lipa last weekend for my cousin's 5th birthday.
Aside from the fact that I (once again) filled myself up with calories, calories, and more calories, I kind of ate up the thoughts I had back then when I was still young(er).

You see, I had this friend there with whom I used to play and share kwentos with all the time. She had a "special" brother who often teased me and called me "Ganda" (and by special, I mean "special child"). And if I remember right, I had always been amused by the fact that she had a sixth finger on her left hand. But I was never bothered by it. Nor was she.

She was only a year older than me, but she had always been taller, fairer, and skinnier. She was perfect. I always looked up to her as that 'beautiful' friend whom I was always going to admire.

She lived right across my tita's house, so whenever my family and I visit Lipa, I'd always see her by their porch and we'd chitchat till we run out of stories and laughs.

Years passed, and our friendship grew stagnant. Dead even. We had another house built somewhere else in Batangas, so I rarely got to see her. I heard that she had her 6th finger operated on (it was just skin anyway). I also heard that her brother stopped studying and had to remain inside their house.

I never got to see her again actually. But it was only this Saturday that I found out why.

My cousin, Marian, and I were supposed to buy something from this store somewhere near her house. A familiar face smiled at me, so I smiled back.

"Yan na ba si Nikki?" (to Marian)
"Opo." *smiles*
"Aba, dalaga ka na pala eh!"
"Hehe. Kamusta na po kayo Tita?"
"Okay naman. Kelan pa kayo dyan?"
"Today lang po, bumisita lang po kina Marian."
"Aaah. O sya, sige. Ingat kayo!"

And just as I was about to leave, I heard Tita say, "O, ayun si Nikki oh. Dalagang dalaga na."

"...talaga po?"

It was my friend.

Marian then tugged me and said, "kilala mo pa ba si Ate _________?"
"Oo naman, sya yung nagsalita diba? Buti nga kilala pa ako ng Mom nya eh."
"Yup."
"Gusto mo puntahan natin later?"
"Uh..."
"Bakit? Hindi ba pwede?"
"Um, kasi Ate...kasi dati pa diba may pumupuntang lalaki sa house nila?"
"Oh? Di ko alam yun eh."
"Um, kasi...may anak na sya eh. 8 months na."

Wuah.

"Did she get married?"
"Nope."
"Is she still studying?"
"Di rin."
"Kasama nya pa yung lalaki?"
"Pumupunta dyan minsan."

Wuah.

The girl I once played Barbies and Jackstones with now had a heavier responsibility to carry. I guess we'll never be able to patch up the holes of our friendship, but she will always be part of my young past. As perfect as everything seemed for her years ago, I now learned that in this life, imperfection is what defines us as human beings. Nothing can be perfect. No one is.

I may never be able to hear her side of the story, but I just wish she stays strong...for herself, and for the new life she has brought into this world.

---------------------

When you feel like giving up on someone.. remember why you held on for so long.

I need this, just one kiss,
A gentle touch, your sweet caress.
My heart would break my ribs if I hold this in
I must confess
I hate myself for needing this
I love our twisted little mess
I know its wrong but it just feels right
The taste of tears is bittersweet tonight
- Cauterize

Have you ever really thought about it? You've got this girl, head over heels in love with you. She'd do anything for you; she'd die for you. But for some reason, you don't want to see that. You know it's there, and you know that you feel the same way. But you refuse to let it be. Maybe you're scared. Maybe you're scared of the thought that this girl who you've known forever - you've seen her happy, you've seen sad -- maybe this girl is perfect for you. And that really scares you, doesn't it?

Rainy Night = Senti Night (again)
Image hosted by Photobucket.comImage hosted by Photobucket.comImage hosted by Photobucket.comImage hosted by Photobucket.comImage hosted by Photobucket.com

Guys fall in love with their eyes.
Girls fall in love with their ears.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
No one can deny how guys wallow in their adolescent fantasies of meeting that mestiza girl, with long hair, a Coca-Cola body, and chinky eyes. Some would die to meet that Heart-look-alike but others would rather hide behind the shadow of their 6-foot-tall best bud as they are drowned by their katorpehan and stalk the apple of their eyes.

Just as that holds true for most guys, the second statement is just as flawless.
Hearing words that seem to feed our hungry heart like crazy would often come out as what we girls need to complement that missing part in our lives. As much as we hate to admit it, mushy quotes and sugarcoated compliments do work to some extent, coz at some point, there's this itsy-bitsy desire inside of us that wishes for them to be true. Even if we know that they are just bolas, as long as there are strings attached, we will fall for them just the same.

But then, after having mingled with these species for the past 17 years of my life, and after having read a number of Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul books, the observations and the data I have recovered have been undeniablly consistent. Though the conclusions may vary, they still all fall under the same category, that is the reality of bittersweet love and life.

We've heard of countless stories of how the guys' hearts have been trampled on by those high heels of the girls theyve been pursuing. Or how they were "two-timed" by the girl they vowed to love forever.
Image hosted by Photobucket.com
And of course, how could we hide the rivers some girls have cried after those boleros and flirts break their hearts? Letters are burnt, inboxes emptied, and pictures torn. They'd run back to their girlfriends and rant about how they thought he was "the one" and how she feels so stupid to have fallen for his words.

But as fit as these stories appear to be for those primetime telenovelas, there will always, ALWAYS, be those inspiring stories that never fail to pinch our innermost desires. How that "ordinary girl" snagged the superstar player of the basketball team, how that full-pledged Lasallian fell for that true-blue Atenean, how Mr. G-nius' love towards Ms. Cheerleader turned out to be not-so-unrequited after all, how those bestfriends ended up together after 10 years of friendship, how that 80-year-old lolo still serenades his wife of 50 years...and the list goes on.

As surreal and stereotypical as some may sound, we cant deny how we are always taken aback by how that four-letter-word still manages to make its way back to the top. Despite all the false hopes and broken hearts, the best mind-altering drug will still be dreaming..."to wish that someday, I will not only fall with my eyes or ears, but...with all of me."

---------------

Haay. Rainy days are infectious.
I swore not to write about stuff like this anymore, but the chilly/reflective mood is just too much to handle. :P

Oh, and though the finals is just around the corner (more like, barely half a meter away actually), I still havent studied anything.
If you count having read Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs as studying, then Im on my way to review-O-land.

Lol.

Btw, for those concerned, I am now CRUSH-CRUSHAN-FREE, so you can stop teasing me now. Ahaha. It was only a "crush-crushan" in the first place. No biggie. :P

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.
In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved.
You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy.
You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic.
Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.
Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.
You think of marriage pessimistically. You don't think happy marriages exist anymore.
In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily.

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?


Wth. Ahahahahaha.

Whoever started the "im-a-Senior-now-so-make-me-a-WRITE-UP-for-our-yearbook" thing was a genius. Either that, or he was a sixteen/seventeen-year-old who longed for something that could make him feel good.

Whenever someone starts writing your name on that page provided for him, youre sure that adjectives are definitely going to be on their way. Add to that different clauses with "mems" after. And after having read that one, two, three, eight..pages thats all about you, your heart is surely going to feel 10 pounds fatter. :D

Haay.
Just like what Danielle had been saying, I still cant believe Im already a Senior.
I used to think of Seniors as those tall, well-built, crushable guys in black pants and those sophisticated-looking, make-up-wearing, heels-trained girls.
Well, I just hope that the young kiddos in school today dont think of us as just that.
Coz now, I now that we are so much more. :)

-------------------------

Were about to take our last First Term finals this week. Waah.
It actually the least-stressful finals week ever (except for the fact that we have to take CL pa)
Oh btw, its official: NO CLASSES ON MONDAY!
I dont know if thats a good thing or a bad thing, coz I actually wanted the first test to be over with.
Oh well, at least we'll be given more time to study. ;)

-------------------------

I have definitely matured as a person.
And my heart has definitely grown up as well.

It doesnt swell in excitement or despair anymore.
Nor does it pound like crazy whenever I am hit with a truckload of kilig or a bucketful of disappointment.

Those salty tears are nowhere in sight (except for that one night, hehe).
Those nights of endless night-dreaming and stargazing have all turned into pasttimes and stress-relievers, unlike the old days when Id stare at space while thoughts flood my head.

Nikko was right.
It really is fun to, well, have fun, and not have to worry about things anymore.
That, I learned from him and from all the other people I care for and love.

This Nikki has come to grow as a seventeen-year-old who dares to still dream and yet stay in touch with the reality that she is making.
She still has the heart to fly to the top while trying to bring her whole world with her.
And she plans to keep on holding on to that "something" in her life that makes it all worth it. ;)

--------------------

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY CIRCLE 96!

You guys really are the best! FO SHO!
"That's what friends are for!" ;)

---------------------

i want to be the girl you hit a homerun for. the one you score a goal for,write a song for, the one who makes you smile, makes you laugh && makes your heart skip a beat. okay i just want to be » that girl..

That night we talked. About life. About our times together. Maybe we weren't the same two kids we had once been. But some things never change. Some things last. And even though I didn't know what was going to happen to us, or where we were going ... I just knew I couldn't let her out of my life. - Wonder Years

People make judqements that aren`t truebut one thinq I learned is you just qotta be youand to show the qreatest srenqth of allis to be able to hold it toqether wheneveryone else expects you to fall

I am addicted to the horrible pain of wanting somone so unattainable. <--yikes!

Its like dancing in the rain andwishing on the stars. Butterflies inyour tummy and nothing else byfar. Its that cant eat, cant sleepkinda thing.. thats love.. such a[-* c r a z y * -] thing

I'm not a perfect girl. My hair doesn't always stay in place and I spill things a lot. I'm pretty clumsy and sometimes I have a broken heart. My friends and I sometimes fight and maybe some days nothing goes right, but when I think about it and take a step back I remember how life truly is and that maybe, just maybe, I like being imperfect.

I've been thinking a lot lately about taking chancesand how it's really just about overcoming your fears. Because the truth is everytime you take a big risk in your life,no matter how it ends up you're always glad you took it. ;)

Love and Time

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.

Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.

When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.

Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?"Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."

Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!""I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.

Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you.""Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"

Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.

Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder, Love asked Knowledge, another elder,

"Who Helped me?"
"It was Time," Knowledge answered.
"Time?" asked Love.
"But why did Time help me?"
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is."



-----------------
I am too mixed up to really care. And to think, I used to be sure of things. me, once I had all the answers. I wish I was a kid again, when I had all the answers..
