so this is love

in the end of december

quiet nights

quiet stars

and i’m here

monday to sunday

cause you’re fragile

and i’m weak

so you fall

when the nights grow longer

into sleep

and won’t wake up

and i’m here

i’m sitting beside you

and i’ll wait until the spring

don’t you worry

i’ll be there for you

don’t worry about me

you know me better than that

don’t you worry

i’ll be there for you

i’ll catch you if you would fall

so you drift

when the days grow colder

away from me

and won’t look back

far away

and i can’t guide you

but i’m here

until the spring

don’t you worry

i’ll be there for you

don’t worry about me

you know me better than that

don’t you worry

i’ll be there for you

i’ll catch you if you would fall

don’t you worry

i’ll be there for you

don’t worry about me

you know me better than that

don’t you worry

i’ll be there for you

i’ll catch you if you would fall

i’ll catch you if you would fall..

the new year is upon us, people… time to start thinkin’ about being less of an ass for the coming year, or at least being able to suppress that Bitch DNA molecule…

some of the things that i need to let fly out there… these are my confessions…(ahh..)

1. fartlock. yes, i have it. whenever i try to pee in a public restroom, when there are dudes right next to the stalls beside me and ESPECIALLY when there’s someone behind me waiting for his turn, somehow my willy won’t release that first trickle UNLESS i let out my fartlock.

and this fartlock ain’t that simple to deal with. either you let it out fast but with maximum noise and attention, or you release it as a silent assassin, quickly rendering  the bloke behind you unconscious.

someone out there please reassure me that i’m not the only one with this problem.

i heard some people have trouble peeing when other people are with them in a public restroom. my problem is a bit more complicated. seems i have to risk embarrassing myself every damn time i have to go no. 1 publicly.

imagine doing it in a hotel comfort room, where the only guy with you in there is a hotel employee waiting to give you a hot towel or a paper towel after you relieve yourself, fiending for a tip. either he hears it or he smells it. pick your poison. happened to me at new world. i let the dude hear it in all its audible glory. all he could muster was "..paper towel, sir? parang medyo basa yun, a..".

sabi ko ".. teka check natin, baka may free…".

yukk, kadiri ka talaga, epoy..

2. one thing troubling me are the billboards along pasong tamo right where don bosco is. now, i have friends who are alumni of this great institution, but i really need to call you out: neil, mark, you have to see this shit. it’s either a colossally stupid honest mistake or a carefully engineered knock on your alma mater. someone has to look into this because it’s really disturbing.

a few months ago it’s just this big billboard of a few boys being lectured by an older dude, who is supposedly don bosco, i’m not sure, it’s painted, may be an interpretation or dude might be the actual don bosco… it’s just that the slogan reads : " it’s enough that you are young for me to love you." - don bosco

okay, okay, that ain’t much, i know. exactly why i let it slide. just my twisted mind, is all, i reasoned. i kept quiet.

but this month, i think they’re advertising for an alumni homecoming or something, and there’s this fund-raising event where they referenced Back To The Future, right to the billboard design to the illustration of don bosco riding the Delorean… it reads "Balik-Busko 2008" or something…only it goes on to say " Bring Home The Boys, Bring Home A Car"… and it doesn’t help that they put don bosco in the driver’s seat, the same way he’s painted in the other aforementioned billboard beside it, occupying the wheel looking like a perv on the prowl.

come on now, before you hurl invectives at me, take a look at the billboards. someone has to correct this, i’m just saying.

3. i hate dudes driving they cars with the window rolled down, their left arm hanging on the side, smoking they cigarette like they’re patrolmen or summat’. just hate them. especially if they’re wearing shades. wala lang, parang ang yabang lang ng dating.

parang trying hard to look cool, e.

4. i want to tell the ayalas and henry sy that for what they’re doing to people going to and from trinoma and sm city, they should crawl into their own asses and  die. it’s just totally uncool. i mean, they’re endangering peoples’ lives by not providing proper pedestrian access to trinoma and sm north. you’ve seen how they’re discouraging people to transfer from one mall to the other? that’s just a pure business-like-asshole-ic move. you guys have too much fucking money already. swallow a little bit of expense and put aside your petty differences and make the consumers who make you filthy rich a bit comfortable traveling from your establishment to your competitor’s safe and easy… won’t be the fucking end of the world for you. you’d probably earn more money that way, ‘opening up the trade routes’ and making both transport nodes safer and more accessible. you fuckers.

5. crossing the bridge connecting trinoma to its mindanao open parking.. using the flyover connecting magallanes to pasay..standing in a condo unit in greenbelt staring at a panoramic view of manila.. just shows me how we’ve let our country become so fucking ugly.

we mask the stench of decay with a false facade of progress, building these beautiful malls and condominium buildings and complexes and investing in developments that would yield us ‘dividends’ in the future, all the while widening the gap between haves and have-nots… those who can barely afford to go to malls and just try to momentarily get away from everyday problems by buying shit to reassure them that life in the philippines is not that bad, to those who can actually afford to buy stakes in malls and ventures that would eventually saturate and suck the country dry for the next generation.

we’re all busy "trying to get ours".

6. as i get older i find time is passing increasingly faster with each passing day. can’t help but feel like i’m working all year so that i have enough money to spend during the holiday season, then actually overspend then try to make up for it the following year while at the same time saving enough to go through the next "season’s greetings". weh.

7.i’m thoroughly amused by how starbucks figured out a way to screw us out of our hard-earned money. i just bought a tall Christmas toffee nut latte last night, which this year costs 145 bucks. i think last year it was 125, and the year before that a tall Christmas mix goes for about 110. and you know people NEED to buy them cups of coffee in pursuit of that "Holy Grail" of the Christmas season, the almighty "Starbucks Planner"…i think my sister managed to collect enough stickers to get one before she went back to houston, but not until suffering from arrythmia and the funny ‘coffee shakes’.."starbucks tayo? starbucks tayo..’lika, starbucks tayo..hihihi…starbucks tayo, ‘lika..".

8. and i’m just sayin’…the fuckers at starbucks and coffee bean should provide free wi-fi for their patrons. 5 tall coffee drinks will pay for one month of 2mbps internet subscription, 50 cups will pay for that fucking wireless router. i know you don’t want people with laptops hanging out longer than they’re supposed to, but with the prices you’re charging for their coffee, they have the right to set up camp in there. 15 pesos an hour lang makigamit ng internet sa mga internet cafe.

follow the example of burger king and give some of that money back, you assholes.

9. if i’m ever passed by a recklessly speeding fucker in a motorcycle and he gets creamed in an accident in front of me, you know i’m not going to stop and help scrape up his sorry ass from the curb.

and that’s word.

if you don’t respect the perils of traveling the road, you should expect no help when you make semplang on the bangketa. gagu ka, e. iistorbohin mo pa ko sa lakad ko e magpapakulot pa ko kay jesi mendez.

10. i absolutely adore lisa hannigan. still. ’nuff said.

so there. happy new year, you assholes. loko lang. love you all. mwah.

Look at me, my depth perception must be off again
Cause this hurts deeper than I thought it did
It has not healed with time
It just shot down my spine
You look so beautiful tonight
Reminds me how you laid us down
And gently smiled before you destroyed my life

Look at me, my depth perception must be off again
You got much closer than I thought you did
I’m in your reach
You held me in your hands

Would you find it in your heart
To make this go away
And let me rest in pieces..
