Hehe

Hehe. Everything always seems to start with a chuckle with me. I chuckle in the bathroom, chuckle while walking and chuckle in my head! So, have been awash in my MP3s today, having revived my Sister Hazel mania after I heard Life Got In The Way on the radio just before I left for the office. There’s no logic to my music from the beautiful It’s A Beautiful Thing and the spiritual Let Your Love Flow (both by Sister Hazel), to the retro Round and Round to the soulful Baby Don’t You Break My Heart Slow which made me chuckle because it so sounds like a Capricorn theme song (not mine at the moment, just in general). Which made me remember this song DeeDee and I labeled the classic Cancer song. Which gave me the idea that Kissing a Fool would then be the classic Scorpio song!

1. Capricorn theme song
Baby Don't You Break My Heart Slow by Vonda Shepard
But I'd rather you be mean than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow
I like the way you'd hold me
Every night for so long baby
And I like the way you'd say my name
In the middle of the night
While you were sleeping
I was believing in you
Was I mistaken
Do you mean, mean what you say
When you say our love could last forever

2. Scorpio Song
Kissing A Fool by Michael Buble
You are far
When I could have been your star
You listen to people
Strange that you were strong enough
To even make a start
You’ll never find peace of mind
People
You can never change the way they think
Better let them do just what they will
For they will
If you let them steal your heart from you
People will always let a lover feel a fool
But you knew I loved you
Fooled me with the tears in your eyes
Covered me with kisses and lies
So goodbye but please don’t take my heart
You are far
I’m never gonna be a star
I’ll pick up the pieces to mend my heart
Strange that I was
You must have been kissing a fool
But remember this
I will wait for you
Like I always do

3. Cancer cares song
Grow Old With You by Adam Sandler
I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
All I wanna do is grow old with you.
I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches
build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice, growin old with you.
I'll miss you, kiss you, give you my coat when you are cold.
Need you, feed you, I'll even let you hold the remote control.
So let me do the dishes in the kitchen sink
Put you to bed when you've had too much to drink.
Oh I could be the man to grow old with you.
I wanna grow old with you.

my life as a bat

feel like i've been injected with the lethargy bug. i seem to have fallen in love with my blue couch. plus the fact that lately i have discovered the wonderfulness of watching vcd movies in the batcave-like atmosphere of the bottom part of our apartment, especially when the weather turns December (you know December weather :-D ... in my spare time or always, i love observing Filipino English). it's one of those vices i've tried to avoid (like sex). when you start to watch vcds, you can never stop. hahahaha.

it's been a rudie-recommends movies weekend. Under The Tuscan Sun, and Kissing Jessica Stein. Thanks Rudie! Loved them!

More later...

time off for good behavior

... is the title of a book where a faithful and hands-on so-close hubby married to his high school sweetie gets to go on a months-long trip by himself because she can't go and he needs to go decompress so he does, and ...

i only really want to say i need time off!!!! i want to sit in silence, hear myself think, feel what i feel, keep myself company :-D ... haven't had time with me in a while ... in Julia Cameron's book, The Artist's Way, readers have to have dates with themselves once a week. Hmmmm, lovely. Maybe I can have a date with myself and a grilled stuffed squid. We can talk about life. About how I appreciate different things in different people. As I should. It takes all kinds to populate the earth, and it's a plus point for people even that they are lovely by themselves, differently from others. It's not some sort of lack, even as people should grow. It just is. That way. It's kinda amazing though how people are so different, and yet still, I love them all. Hehehehehehe.

So what happens when I eat up all the squid?

love letter

my dearest claudette josephine bonaparte, "hearer" of most (99%) mundane and divine secrets, including kamalditahan hehehehe. let me pause for a moment and laugh. before i launch into this most serious blog. HEHEHEHEHEHE.

right. having got that over with, i think DeeDee that I am tired of men. i don't think i want to have anything to do with them for the next 100 years or so. in fact, why not go and try women?

hihihihihi. as my mother knew the moment i was lifted from her stomach all of 31 years ago... I am an awful liar. But hey, for someone who's honest usually, what's one lie ... one lie to rule them all and find them, and in the darkness bind them.... :-P

being/ seriousness/ paragraphs

The clock ticked on, the wind rustled some leaves, and a minute and an email later, I am different. The story has gone with the moment. Parallel universes spin yet again.

***

Coming in at midnight from a late but funny meeting, I find that I am happy. A number of aggravations, grouchies and grumpies, plus sulks have winked at me in the last day or two, and I've even gone as far as wrestling with the little rascals, but here I am at the end of a long day, refreshed by the cool night air and the company of kindred souls, and I find that am still sitting on a placid lake of peace that seems to be presently me.

back, out and back again

Hehehehe. There's no comprehending the overall psycho-social-economic effect of not being online! As Katrina understands perfectly! It's especially worse when one has been online and then it stops! Waaaaaaaah. It's like having the school bully take away one's lollipop just when you're getting to the chocolatey center. Grrrrr. And I had just started a perfectly cheerful blog when the lights went out, along with the net. No wonder dogs bark :-P ... Like, huh???

Office: strapped to my pc.

Ok, two down, four more papers to go before i can fly to my cousin's wedding and then proceed to my vacation. No rest for the vacationeer :-P ... particularly vacationeers with messy rooms!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you can wear black to my if-ever wedding

I wanna wear black :-(((((((((. To the wedding :-D. Can I???? Pleaaaaaseeeeeeeee? I WANNA I WANNA I WANNA HUHUHUHUHUHU....

The color motif's aquamarine. I have this nice strappy aquamarine top masquerading as a formal top. That go with my nice black trousers. My nice black trousers go with my nice black shoes. But all three belong to two different universes. Like in Sesame St :-( (which one goes with the other? lalalala)

On the other hand ... I have a brilliant black halter top that would make a cozy threesome with trousers and shoes :D ... I say it would be destiny!!!!

Katrina says I would be OMINOUS and might get sent out of church. TEEHEE. I might get banished out of my dear relatives' photo album for going all-black to a cheerful afternoon wedding hehehehe.
