borrowed poetry part 2.

Are you looking for answers
To questions under the stars?
Well, if along the way
You are grown weary
You can rest with me until
A brighter day and you're okay

I am no Superman
I have no answers for you
I am no hero
Oh, that's for sure
But I do know one thing
Is here you are is where I belong
I do know where you go
Is where I want to be

borrowed poetry from Dave Matthews Band :)

It's one of the few times I've come to appreciate a deep song whilst exuding a simple message. :)

Here they go again!

Its truly Christmas.

No matter how weird the weather may seem during these past days, it is an obvious sight that Christmas is almost here. The vast displays of flickering lights and the seemingly competitive nature of neighbors trying to outdo each other by putting up the most extravagant and the most intricate Christmas decor outside their already decorated and glowing houses. Also, the songs have already been playing everywhere, songs which remind each and everyone of us various memories of Christmas past. Just a few minutes ago, while in the car, a song played and everybody in car (me, my mom and my dad) sang almost instantly, it was one of those moments you can't trade for anything else in this world.

Now moving on, Christmas has and always been my favorite holiday. The cold weather, the festive atmosphere and the distinct smell in the air saying that it's gonna be a few more days since the start of another vacation. Thing is, for a time now, my days have been oh so quick, I guess it's just my body clock adjusting to the hectic schedule of everyday life. BUT, yes, a big but... my personified yet imagined body is screaming at the person it is trapped in saying GIVE ME A DAMN REST. If my body could really talk to me right now, he won't in disgust and anguish because of the treatment I'm giving it - a slave in his own world. The only reprieve my body has is number 1, when it sleeps, or 2, when it eats. (what's with me talking about my body in the third person...?)

In recent days, I've been splurging in crepes and the recent crepe session was a complete failure. I just felt depressed, well, the two of us actually(my friend and I). These crepe sessions have kept my sanity up these past few days. I really just want to stay at home and rest all the while but it's one of those moments when I want to go just for that, not only for the Crepe but also the company of a friend or friends.

Now back to Christmas.

People know that Christmas is nearing because of one thing - Carolers. Yes, the nightly kid-revelers singing the same old song over and over again trying to get a few pennies for their efforts. I'd have to give it to those kids, they really try - well good luck in trying for I won't bother. It's one thing for the kids to really try their best, but if their best is having to break a few mirrors in the process, well that's a different story. I am somewhat irritated when they try to sing the all so familiar song in such a way that you know that their version is a new version than the one they sang a year ago, that their version is more weirder, more well...chinese. Just a few hours ago, a kid sang in front of the gate the same song...and guess what, I didn't actually understand a thing he said. wow. I didn't know if it was my dog serenading us with her barking while the kid was singing or its just the singing but one thing was sure - I DID NOT UNDERSTAND A THING HE SAID.

On a lighter note, well this year, poor-tiered carolers are a bit low on supply. I guess they had the while year last year to refine their vocal skills. It's those that I want to hear on a cold windy night, not the same old song sang over and over again. And don't get me started on carolers using station ids on their songs. it's too irritating hearing those in TV and these kids whip up a version live at your doorstep. sheesh, can they sing a much better song?

Anyway, as the saying says, to each his own. As I look back on the days that have passed, I think that I'm thinking too much. I haven't been able to appreciate the finer things and the smaller details. Hopefully soon enough I will. :)

Well, it's gonna be Christmas a few days from now and I'm really really excited about it. It's not what's gonna happen during Christmas. It's CHRISTMAS ITSELF. now time to save up!


au revoir. :)

Second Chance?

It's about 2am and I'm still up. These past few days made me think(again) about how to live my life in these coming years. As I meet people whoa re younger than me in my classes, I've come to notice that really, it's time for me to finally grow up. I'm on my 3rd year in college and in less than 24 months, I'll be graduating. It scares me how I will face the world after UP.I'm sure there are a lot of possibilities out there for me, but there's this side of me that always worries about everything and right now, that's my biggest worry. Time is definitely trying to made me realize everything faster than what I want.

Just this morning, I wrote a message in a birthday card of a friend. While writing, I asked my friend(not the one with the birthday) regarding students who entered college while they were 15...almost 3 years before I(and my batch as well in Claret) entered college at 17/18. The conversation was short, but the thing is, it made me ponder for a while did I make the most out of those years and is it worth it. Up to now,I still haven't decided if everything was worth it and I'm still caught between trying to decide if I made the most out of those years. Frankly, things have been fast-paced, dragging me lane after lane swerving back and forth in a highway leading to who knows what. As I said to a friend,

Bro, my life as everybody knows it, is one hell of a roller-coaster ride.

It's too fast paced for me - things, everything.

I wish I had a remote control that dictates how time would pass. The roller-coaster ride is already taking its toll on me. Right now, everything for me is uncertain, everything is in shambles. I'd like to take control of it but I'm helpless. I don't how the hell I got myself into this situation. Anyway, I have no regrets, in fact, for a second there, I was thankful because without these, I won't grow as a person. Now have I grown far too much?

There are a lot of things that I want a second chance at...there are a lot of things that I would want to change, want to correct, want to finish. There are a lot of wants in my life and there are even a lot more what ifs. I guess that's where this roller-coaster ride is taking me for this part of my life- the want to's and what if's. Everybody deserves a second chance at everything right? But, after that chance is wasted, would there be another one? Is it right to let things just pass because you know more - that you understand everything clearer than last time? There are so many chances in this world that people just overlook.

I'll leave with a line from a song:

"Are you looking for answers to questions under the stars?
Well, if along the way you are grown weary
You can rest with me until a brighter day and you're okay "

thanks for reading. :)
au revoir!

The Space between

Just a few days ago, I downloaded "the space between" by Dave Mathews Band. It was one of those moments when I just stared at the computer and searched for songs to download to pass the time. The first time I played the song, a line struck me almost instantly

"The space between your heart and mine is the space we'll fill with time"

I decided to search for the lyrics of the song after I heard that line. It turned out the song had a pretty deep meaning - that no matter what lies people say, the feelings inside of them still remain. Whatsoever the people in a relationship say to each other - negative or not, there's still something that keeps the two together.

The space between the tears we cry is the laughter keeps us coming back for more

I just had to share that line, two ironic feelings in a single line blending together to form a simple message easily understood by all. I don't know what got into me tonight, but thinking about that made me ask a lot of questions about relationships. It's a wonderful thing, relationships, but, why don't they always work out and save everyone the feeling of being heartbroken? I guess I'm just delving too much on a matter that is better left untouched.

I haven't got anything much to say anymore. I've been busy with things as of late, in fact, I don't even have time for myself. BUt, a once in a while crepe treatment is always a welcome sight :) I still have to write 10 sentences in french about the country of my dreams :) anyway, bonne soiree!

au revoir!
