So I am having a reminisce from the past here…

I remember, years ago…me and my cousin are fond of watching Dawson’s Creek. Even though I failed to watch some of its episodes, still I love this series. I have some of favorite parts of the episodes-when Joey and Pacey sailed on the boat, when Dawson found out that his bestfriend Joey loves him and many others. However, among those favorites, this part, when Joey sung On My Own is the most memorable part for me. It’s when Joey joined a pageant and this is her piece during the talent portion. I’m sure my cousin would remember this one. We’re so ‘kilig’ that time!

I guess there’s a reason why Joey chose to sing the song. Because she’s in love with Dawson! But Dawson has Jen as his girlfriend and that didn’t stop her from loving her bestfriend. Hayz, so much for the talkings here. Anyway, from that time on, this song has been one of songs that I like. This song is from Les Miserables, sung by Eponine.

This is the video clip of Joey (Katie Holmes) singing On My Own, obviously dedicated to Dawson (James Van Der Beek.

*PS: Yes she doesn’t sound good, but the scene is so cute!

 On my own
Pretending he’s beside me
All alone
I walk with him ’til morning
Without him, I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way, I close my eyes and he has found me

In the rain
The pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever

And I know it’s only in my mind
That I’m talking to myself and not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say there’s a way for us

I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone
The river’s just a river
Without him, the world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full of strangers

I love him
But every day I’m learning
All my life I’ve only been pretending
Without me, his world will go on turning
A world is full of happiness that I have never known

I love him
I love him
I love him…
But only on my own…

Me and Polly dined at Pizza Hut for lunch. It was his treat, so I ordered Spaghetti Carbonara with softdrinks and salad. He’s ok with shake at first, but after a while he ordered another menu. So he called up the waitress and handed him the menu book.

Waitress: May I take your order sir?

Paul: Buffalo wings!

Waitress: A what sir?

Paul: Buffalo wings please.

Without any idea what he’s talking, the waitress scanned the menu and found no Buffalo wings in there. So he scanned it by himself instead.

Paul: Ah Chiken wings (hot wings)!

Watress: Smiled.Giggled.

Me: LOL!

I couldn’t stop laughing, he and the waitress laughed as well. He blushed and I really think he felt embarrassed (i just don’t know if he did). Well, I actually searched it over the net and  found out that yes, “buffalo wings” is another name for hot chicken wings. He was right in a way, it’s just that it has different name on the menu. I’m sorry Polly for laughing that hard to look at your red face!*peace*

And there’s another one…Hehe

I was thirsty, so I offered him a shake (zagu).

Me: Polly ano gusto mo? Strawberry akun.

Paul: Sago’t Gulaman.

Me: Huh?

Paul: Sago’t Gulaman.

Me: ????

Paul: Ah Buko Pandan gle.

Me: LOL

I don’t know what happened to him this day! He made me laugh because of his ‘out of this world’ words that are coming out of his mouth. Hay, I really love to laugh/smile. I just love those kind of friends.

*PS: I actually had his permission for me to post it here, so probably, he won’t feel bad at me.

Last Saturday or should I say Sunday (in the Philippines) Filipinos stopped whatever they’re doing and switched off to their respective televisions or radios for…that includes myself…for one reason, to see the Manny Pacquiao and David Diaz fight: The Lethal Combination. ^_^

Ok, so the fight was not live on TV but it was on the radio. So, while waiting for the fight to be televised, I turned on my radio and had it on its highest volume while cooking my favorite, Adobo. Since, it was live, I lend my ears and listened carefully as the DJs (i don’t know if they were DJ’s or just announcers)  carefully announced every detail of the fight. It was nerve wrecking to hear those comments and all. But in the end, as I expected, Manny won. I waited for an hour to see it on TV. It’s really that different watching the fight than just listening.

So I spent my 2 hours watching the telecast and was surprise to see the bloody face of Diaz and I pitied him so much. Though he had those cuts and blood on his face he still managed to last till round 9. When he finally got knocked, I was so happy. Happy that Manny Pacquiao got another Title as Lightweight Champion, made history as the first Asian to have 4 titles, and of course for giving us, Filipinos another pride. (more…)

I don’t read books much. It’s not that I hate reading, but it depends on the book. There are a lot of books that someone offered me to read but none of them were finished reading by me. Though I read Harry Potter books..Hmmm but I only read one of it’s seven books, the book 3. If most of the peoople read all of them, well not me. Not really fond of reading, ever since.

Of all the books that I’ve read (finished it or not) only Little Prince made me cry. Actually the books was given by my cousin years ago. Though I started reading it, but it was still unfinished. Until last Saturday, when I had nothing to do inside my room. I was not feeling well then and felt bored. When I saw the Little Price inside my cabinet and read it. At long last I did read it! (more…)

For days now, there’s one song that I’ve been playing on the player and it’s Out of my League by Stephen Speaks. Though the song is from a man to a woman, still I love it. I just hope that one day my boyfriend (when I have one) will sing this to me. ^_^

The song just keep playing in my head and I can’t get through this. My favorite part of the song, but I changed the subject of the lyrics since I’m a woman, haha…It goes this way: “‘Cause I love him with all that I am, and my voice shakes along with my hand. ‘Cause he’s all that I see and he’s all that I need and I’m out of my league once again… “

Anyway try to listen to it. Here’s a video of the band singing the acoustic version:

it’s her hair and her eyes today
that just simply take me away
and the feeling that i’m falling further in love
makes me shiver but in a good way
all the times i have sat and stared
as she thoughtfully thumbs through her hair
and she purses her lips, bats her eyes as she plays,
with me sitting there slack-jawed and nothing to say
coz i love her with all that i am
and my voice shakes along with my hands
coz she’s all that I see and she’s all that I need
and i’m out of my league once again

it’s her hair and her eyes today
that just simply take me away
and the feeling that i’m falling further in love
makes me shiver but in a good way
all the times i have sat and stared
as she thoughtfully thumbs through her hair
and she purses her lips, bats her eyes as she plays,
with me sitting there slack-jawed and nothing to say
coz i love her with all that i am
and my voice shakes along with my hands
cause it’s frightening to be swimming in this strange sea
but i’d rather be here than on land
yes she’s all that i see and she’s all that i need
and i’m out of my league once again

I like this song and I dedicate this to “someone” hope he’ll realize….Lol!

V1: Take time to realize,
That your warmth is
Crashing down on in.
Take time to realize,
That I am on your side
Didn’t I, Didn’t I tell you.

But I can’t spell it out for you,
No it’s never gonna be that simple
No I cant spell it out for you

C: If you just realize what I just realized,
Then we’d be perfect for each other
and will never find another
Just realized what I just realized
we’d never have to wonder if
we missed out on each other now.

V2: Take time to realize
Oh-oh I’m on your side
didn’t I, didn’t I tell you.
Take time to realize
This all can pass you by
Didn’t I tell you

no it’s never gonna be that simple
no I can’t spell it out for you.

no it’s never the same
if you don’t feel it too.
If you meet me half way
If you would meet me half way.
It could be the same for you.

then we’d be perfect for each other
then we’d never find another
Just realize what I just realized
