I'm in love...
...with this song.
"So Close" - from the Original Soundtrack of Disney's "Enchanted"
You're in my arms
And all the world is gone
The music playing on
For only two
So close together
And when I'm with you
So close to feeling alive
A life goes by
Romantic dreams must die
So I bid mine goodbye
And never knew
So close was waiting
Waiting here with you
And now, forever, I know
All that I want is to hold you
So close
So close to reaching
That famous happy end
Almost believing
This one's not pretend
Now you're beside me
And look how far we've come
So far
We are
So close...
Oh, how could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?
We're so close to reaching
That famous happy end
Almost believing
This one's not pretend
Let's go on dreaming
Though we know we are
So close
So close, and still
So far...
i ♥ "Enchanted."
i ♥ So Close.
woot! got stuck in traffic yesterday, going home. mom picked me up at around 5.30pm, we got home at around 10.30pm, haha. we made it before curfew. plan was sulitin na namin yung time until 11.59pm eh, haha. oh well. anyhoo.
my brother recently bought a new nintendo DS (i offered to buy him a PINK psp, he said no)--a black one. so i asked if i could have his old gameboy sp para may toy ako sa dorm. he said okay, so now, i have a gameboy advance sp with me. weee!
i'd been planning to bring it with me around school sana para kapag wala kami ginagawa (as if that's possible!), may paglalaruan ako. well, yesterday, our prof wasn't in yet, so i took it out and played. jake watched me play. tss. haha.
during lunchtime, while waiting for our C.I., i took it out para paglaruan ulit. i was playing "kingdom hearts: chain of memories." so i was like, stuck in greece with hercules and the goat-legged dude, phil. eh cloud was there--the cloud guy from the final fantasy thingy, i think. jake was saying nahirapan daw siya kalabanin si cloud. and he was saying paano ko daw kakalabanin si cloud with my cards (basta, ganun ung sa game, you use cards as weapon thingies). eh ako naman, basta matamaan ko yung kalaban okay na. haha. so i fought cloud and *gasp* i won! weee! haha.
Me: Jake! O, see? Natalo ko si Cloud!
Jake: Weh? Ang galing mo naman! Ang pangit ng mga cards mo tapos natalo mo si Cloud?!
and kept saying that to me until na-dismiss kami. haha. ang funny. hindi ko alam kung compliment yun (kasi ang galing ko naman at natalo ko si cloud) or insult and mockery (kasi panget yung cards na gamit ko). oh jake. oh bother.
God must hate me right now.
I went to hear anticipated mass at the church yesterday with my family, and i just laughed my head off all through the start of the First Reading until the end of the Gospel. It wasn't my fault, God! My brother did it! God, my brother did it--not me!
Grabe. My tummy hurt from laughing. Syet.
bad trip. amp!
I was watching the latest episode of 'Heroes' online (2x09: Cautionary Tales), and there was a part there when Isaac's painting came true and Noah Bennet got shot in the eye--no, not the horn-rimmed glasses!--and he died soon after.
Syet, grabe! I cried! Like, really cried! As in, like, ako yung namatayan. Ay grabe!
I like Noah Bennet. I like his daddy protection. It's like how my daddy is with me. Very...daddy-ish. Haha. Basta. I luv luv luv how Noah takes care of Claire. Then he died. got shot in the eye and died.
*sniff*
*moment of silence*
Tapos before the episode ended, they showed him being revived by Claire's blood! Like, his eye was repaired and he was ALIVE again!
Amp. Bad trip naman! Nasayang yung pag-iyak ko! Bwiset. Haha. Syet. Haha.
#1: "Inside".
Our RLE group was at the health center. There were posters of health and nutrition stuff on the walls. We made Kenechi (Miss Nigeria) read them, because they were in Filipino. We did translate the info for her once in a while. Innah was the best at it.
Kenechi: Ang itlog. Mayaman sa protina...Oh, that means it's rich in proteins, right?
We: Yeah!
Kenechi: Ang kolesterol na--what's that word? tag-lay?
Innah: Yes, taglay. That means, the cholesterol inside of it.
*What the--? Nasa loob mismo ng itlog ung cholesterol?*
#2: Literally "They"
We were talking about Joyce and Mr. Someone-She-Is-Currently-Linked-To.
Joyce: Friends lang talaga kami.
Kenechi: Yeah, I know they're just friends. But...
Innah (I think): What?
Kenechi: I don't know why you guys make a big deal out of it.
Innah: Because they.
Everyone: Huh?
Me: Kasi "sila"? Sila na ba ni Joyce?
*Si Hanni Manie talaga. Masyado literal. Haha.*
O'course, by reading, di na sya funny. But it was uber funny when we were there. Haha. Laugh trip. Amp.
Last...oh god, i forgot the date na--wait. Hmm. Oh! Last November 17, Jinx came back with me to UST. There were still some pahabol events ng Nursing Week, and she tagged along.
So anyway, we went with Mama and Papa (who had a dinner thingy with some other important people in Pampanga), and they dropped us off at the dorm. We dumped all our stuff there and went to UST. Jinky tagging along is like having to babysit an overgrown 2-year-old. Tss. Haha.
When we got to school, we met up with Jo sa gym, where they were going to hold the Tigers' Fans' Day (part of Nursing Week). We waited until the Tigers arrived--Taylor, Cruz, and some other members of the team. After a while, we went on a walk around the carpark and ended up in Cerealicious. We ate, he didn't.
We went back to the Sports Complex and watched the Bio and Microbio teams play. Haha. Funny game. It's like, half-nerdy half-cool game. Astig! It did get exciting nung bandang dulo, kasi they were neck and neck. Galing ng Bio, nahabol nila score ng Microbio eh.
After the game, we went to Sicilian to eat. Just the three of us--kaming dalawa lang sana ni Jo, eh epal sister ko! Haha. She made libre to us, though. It was Birthday Boy's birthday naman that weekend. Haha.
After that, we went to school to watch the Nursing teams. When we arrived, Seniors and Freshmen yung naglalaro. Jinx thought Mr. Numbah Fow was cute. Haha. Who doesn't? Tss. Anyhoo. After the Seniors and Frosh game, yung Juniors and Seniors naman. Go Juniors! (Don't ask, basta sila sinusuportahan ko) Haha. Good game, good game.
Sayang hindi natuloy ung All-Star Game. I wanted to watch him pa naman. Well, I did. Kaso they were jsut playing around, it wasn't really a game game. Still, fun to watch.
We--Jinx and I--left the complex around 4pm. He left na rin kasi. We hung out sa Cerealicious--again. Then we attended mass. Then we went back to the dorm. Haha.
Fun, fun, fun. *Smiley-smiley*
Yesterday, Saturday, Jinx and I went to UST for the last of the Nursing Week events. We met up with Pepe at the Sports Complex. Weee! Haha.
Lots of stuff, lots of events. But i don't have time to make kwento today. Next time na. Haha. Basta, it was fun, fun, fun! ;)
wala lang. nag-post lang ng treasured possessions ko. haha. XP
so yes, in kuya joe's words, i am "stalking" again. FYI, it's called "checking-if-he's-okay." i'm still not uber excited about "THE RETURN," but it doesn't hurt to check how he's doing, right? tss.
he's coming home. saw the flight details na.
so why don't i feel excited? hmm. guess i got used to mr. disneyland not being around. oh well. bahala sya sa buhay nya. hahahahahahahaha! XP
in an hour's time, i'll be on my way back to the dorm. awwwww. *sniff*
oh well, i'll be back home after four days naman eh. haha! XP
funny, kakatapos lang ng get-together here sa house. my cousins and titos and titas were here, and we had lunch together. celebration daw, sabi ni mama. what are we celebrating? my going back to the dorm--finally! haha. yeah, yeah, i've worn out my welcome here in my own home. haha. poor me.
there's an upside, though. i'll finally get to read "atlas shrugged"! yay! haha. i planned on reading it kasi pag bumalik na ako ng dorm. that way, i can kill time and boredom by reading. weee!!!
countdown: just 5 more days 'til he's back. aww, shucks. just when i was getting used to and enjoying not having him around! haha! just kidding, man. XP [get your ass back here safe, ya hear?]
RANDOM POST, POST, POST.
[1] oh god. i've been laughing my head off watching a new video by Adrian Pasdar (Nathan Petrelli) and his crew of crazy 'Heroes' dudes--David Anders (Kensei Takezo), Masi Oka (Hiro Nakamura), and Greg Grunberg (Matt Parkman). super duper crazy. super duper funny.
Anders Neville: David cuts loose. Unfortunately, so does Greg.
[2] on YouTube videos - I took my Prison Break fangirl-insanity to the next level. haha. i *heart* the Michael&Sara storyline (too bad they killed off Sara and chopped her into pieces and put her in a box!). i made some M&S vids. just feelin' the luuuuv. haha. http://www.youtube.com/user/ReflectED10
[3] my favorite niece (haha!) went trick-or-treating last Halloween. she dressed up as a lion. *rawr!* such a cutie! got the pics from kuya joe. ;)
[4] Iya wearing the Vietnamese ao dai. Can you say "cute"? ;)
[5] And now, I would like to present my favorite quotation of the week--a few wise words from David Anders of 'Heroes':
"I was playing in a March of Dimes tennis tournament. My playing partner is Bill Cosby. Billy said to me, Peter I love your work. My reply was, "I wish I could say the same." I never cared for Bill Cosby's work, constantly mugging up a storm. Enough! I told him when we were together I won't tell you because it was a little rev gosh. I says to Bill, tone it down a notch, it's for the camera. Bill didn't understand, he used to wear sweaters and all sorts of...Bill was different different, but god damn it do I love that man.
Also, I'm gonna go poop in the woods!"
hahaha! damn, sembreak didn't do me any good. sabi na nga ba. hahaha!
gah.
haven't left the house since i came home from sembreak! and in a few days balik na sa dorm. syet. the laziest, most unproductive, most boring sembreak ever.
okay, well, maybe not. i did go to the halloween party at scho. and that get-together-slash-tunggaan-ng-red-wine-slash-meet-the-family thingy at kuya joe's. and the enrolment for the second sem. and the visit-and-kainan at lola minnie's place. and the--...oh nevermind. so i did get out of the house naman. still! haha.
and darn. so lonely. long, long sembreak. longer without mr. i'm-in-disneyland-and-NYC-and-DC around. tss. (ahh, can you sense the bitterness in those words? haha. yes, inggit ako! haha. XP)
on the brighter side of life, i got a new book! weeee! haha. just bought it today, been wanting it since forever. (clickety-click to make it bigger. duh.)
yep, ayn rand's "atlas shrugged." i heard it's quite a piece of work. pretty philosophical. sana kayanin ng powers ko. haha. weeee! so happy with my book!
(books are luv ♥. yes, i know--i'm such a dork. haha.)
