why do we need to learn lessons the hard way?

Last week was hell for me.

nasira yung OS ng desktop pc ko. And I wasn’t able to fix it.  So I thought, I’ll just buy a new HD and install a new OS there, and retrieve all of my files in my other hd.

So that’s what I did. I successfully revived my PC. And I bought another wire to connect my old hd.  Then kinonek ko na yung HD ko, and boom! E:/ is not formatted. waaaaaaaaaah.

I lost everything! my documents, games, pictures (though mostly naupload ko naman sa net), my movies and series, my compilation of TMR top10 and moments, and the worst… i lost all of my songs!!!!!! huhuhuhuhuhu.

that was heartbreaking… super.. kaya eto, I’m starting from scratch… downloading everything.

saw this video from chico’s blog (chicogarcia.wordpress.com).. and I’m speechless…

for sure, Lady Gaga will top MTV’s Most Stylish Video for this decade (2005-2015)… If you didn’t what list is that, lem’me share to you the most stylish videos last decade (1995-2005):

the tag was from dheyski. and since matagal-tagal na din ako hindi nakakapagpost, pinatulan ko na haha time to spread out again!

my two favorite tracks from Elliott Yamin’s sophomore album, Fight for Love

YOU SAY

Cause you say (you say)
You ain´t got time for me
Actions speak loud of your words ??
You try to say you´ve rather be
All by yourself
Oohh but I can see the way
The way you look at me
And baby I don´t believe (believe what you say)
You say oohhh

Can’t Keep On Loving You

How do I get close
When she looks like an angel
A moment of her time just seems impossible to me
It’s hard to find the words, to get to know this stranger
I’m scared of what she’ll say if what I say sounds incomplete
And it feels like we belong together
Can someone tell me where do I start

I can’t hide
I can’t keep on feelin’ the way I do
And I can’t keep on, hiding my heart from you
I got to say something before
Someone else comes through,
Cuz I can’t keep on loving you,
I can’t keep on loving you from a distance.

Since it’s the 40th anniversary of sesame street, google is featuring the puppets on their logo.. COOLNESS!! and of course, i love the Oscar The Grouch logo!!

and check out this version of Joshua Radin of Sesame Street’s Sunny Day

Sunny Day – theme

Sunny day – Sweepin’ the clouds away,
On my way to where the air is sweet.
Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street.

Come and play, everything’s A-OK
Friendly neighbors there that’s where we meet
Can you tell me how to get
How to get to Sesame Street

It’s a magic carpet ride.  Every door will open wide.
Happy people like you.  Happy people who.

Like a beautiful sunny day sweepin’ the clouds away
On my way to where the air is sweet
Can you tell me how to get,
How to get to Sesame street, how to get to Sesame Street,   How to get to . . .

nyif nyif nyif ^.^

I ♥ Russell!! gonna watch UP again

Medyo addicted ako lately sa “I remember” ni Keyshia Cole… especially the version of Gabe Bondoc (fil-am youtube artist)… then I heard his own version of Rihanna’s Take A Bow, and na-amazed ako sa ginawa nya.. changing the lyrics into the guy’s perspective… so ayun.. na-inspire ako hehe.

So I tried writing (editing) a version of Keyshia Cole’s I Remember.. though lyrics lang to.. no mp3 version syempre haha!.. sabayan nyo nalang yung song and see if magmamatch yung lyrics sa melody

what’s up with the pic?? wala lang.. special effect lang

“I Remember” (male version kunwari)

Ohhh….
Remember…
Oh, I remember…
I wanna know…

[Verse 1:]
I was here, and I heard you love me.
I was here, saw you cried that night
Waiting here, wonderin’ if you’re sleeping
Thinking of all the times we shared.

[Chorus:]
I remember when your heart broke.
I remember when You gave up loving me.
My heart couldn’t take the things you’ve said
I was sad and lonely.
I remember when You walked out.
I remember when You screamed You hated me.
But I know that you’re still in love with me
I’m sad and lonely.

[Verse 2:]
Well I knew, all the pain You went through.
Deep in your heart, I know there’s still love for me.
You were lost, couldn’t find where you should be
Don’t want you to leave
And I still dont know why you just let it go, ohh

[Chorus:]
I remember when your heart broke.
I remember when You gave up loving me.
My heart couldn’t take the things you’ve said
I was sad and lonely.
I remember when You walked out.
I remember when You screamed You hated me.
But I know that you’re still in love with me
So sad and lonely.

[Bridge:]
There was nowhere else to go, oh.
Nobody else to turn to, no.
For the rest of my life, I promised you that I will love you still genuinely.

[Chorus:]
I remember when your heart broke.
I remember when You gave up loving me.
My heart couldn’t take the things you’ve said
I was sad and lonely.
I remember when You walked out.
I remember when You screamed You hated me.
But I know that you’re still in love with me
Sad and lonely.

I remember when my heart broke.
I remember when You gave up loving me.
My heart couldn’t take the things you’ve said
I was sad and lonely.
I remember when You walked out.
I remember when You screamed You hated me.
But I know that you’re still in love with me
I was sad and lonely.

Got this poem from Ghindie’s (my HS classmate) short story. We don’t know the title of this poem though. She just saw this poem (or maybe this song) posted somewhere.

I love the poem. Very deep, emo, dark, full of angst. Whatta masterpiece! Here it is..

I am the only one of my kind.
I live in my loneliness – with only the memories of the dead to haunt me.
Innocence is but a sham.

Love is nothing but an illusion.
I am alone.

I should not be the one to survive this.
My life is but a fleeting excuse.
A passing trend.
A disappearing abomination.

I fly from place to place
No meaning, no anchor to steady me
If meaning is lost,
We are like aimless birds
Moving from cage to cage
I will never be free.

Pain, confusion and sadness.
I feel them all.
Nightmares haunt me.
Blood coats me and covers my mind with its stain.
I am consumed by the night.
Consumed by their hate
Consumed by their blood lust
I do not deserve peace
Nor happiness
Nor rest
And these I will never have.

I am overtaken by sadness
Blood, like rain, floods my mind.
The solitude of our sufferings
Is the only friend we will ever know
My mind traps me in a dance of distress
I dance to the music of misery
Misery will write my memories

Even when I stand
I feel myself falling
Yet here I linger
Touched by kindred hands

Pawns living and dying,
We play the game.
Take courage, and step forward bravely.
Pawns living and dying,
We play the game.

Kindred in death
Kindred in thought, heart and duty
Kindred in death
Daring to reach another,
I fall forward into fear
Though scarred and broken,
We cling to hope.

But it might not be for me to decide.
Hope, like a fleeting wind,
Stirs our hearts as leaves
We fall toward the moment when
All our fears and dreams collide

Sift through the oceans of tears
Rise from the ashes of sorrow
And please help me collect
The broken pieces of my heart

And my classmate managed to write a very awesome story out of this poem. If you wanna read it, click here.

10.03.09 ~ Tanjoubi Omedetou Gozaimasu!!

from Czarovic ~ pinaka-Creative

I decided na magbirthday leave for this special day of mine. Not because meron akong birthday party or something, but because I wanna to listen to RX the whole day! Haha.. yeah.. wala lang. Just wanna celebrate it with RX. Naks.

Anyways, this birthday post is inspired by my Acer’s (my co-Rusher) birthday post. CLICK HERE.  In his post, he prepared a list of ang pinaka-list of bday greets. And I promised myself na I’ll do the same.. inggit ako eh hehe. This is just a recognition on the unique greetings that I received. Pinag-isipan, pinag-handaan ang pagbati. That’s nice, right?

But this is a lil different. Masyado kasi akong naaliw, kaya ang dami kong categories. And let me start this with a diff category,

<Forecast Greetings>
Edzcel (co-rusher Mr.Perk via text) [06:38am] – “Weather forecast for you today: There will be showers of blessings all over you in the morning, a heavy downpour of love all around you by mid-afternoon & occasional flashes of laughter & joy by early evening with continuous sweet dreams by midnight. Happy Birthday!“
_duffs (co-rusher via twitter) – “according sa PAGBATI bukas babagyo ng birthday greeting kaya dala kang payong. enjoy!!!“

True enough, the love from my friends and strangers overflowed! Let’s get it on!
