We Belong Together.
Gavin's voice is so.. uhmm.. Gavin?.. *gags*
We belong together like the open seas and shores. Wedded by the planet force we've all been spoken for.The hammer may strike me dead on the ground. A net to my hand. A cross on his crown. We're done if who we're undone. Finished if who we are incomplete. As one we are everthing. We are everything we need.What good is a lie with no one to share the light of the moon, the honor of a swear. We could try to live the way which we speak. Taste the milk of your Mother Earth's love. Spread the word of consciousness, you see, we are everything we need.All this indecision, all this independent strain. Still we have ours hearts on save. We have our hearts on save.Someday when you're lonely, sometime after all this bliss, somewhere lost in emptiness, i hope you find this gift.

He loved her like there was no tomorrow.
been ages since i saw a movie.. and i was just in the mood last night..
actually just an ordinary drama/romance movie.. the plot was kind of predictable too (because the story was given at the back of the cd.. hehe) and you know how i'm a sucker for romantic movies, there went my little shy tears.. and i want to stress the word little.. coz i didn't weep the "huhuhu" type, just the "sniff-sniff" one.. hehe.. i wanted to put one scene here, the one where the guy was telling her how much he appreciates her while he was trembling and crying his heart out.. but i've no photographic memory so i don't know exactly what they have said.. and there's none over the net.. all i can remember was the last part.. she said, "i don't know what to say" after he said i love you,etc.etc.. and he said, "you don't have to say anything, i just wanted you to know.." gadd.. really, a must-see..
oh goodie! i'm starting to learn something about PS.. something new and different for me..

Tedd has been kind to me lately..
strange but it feels like some things i'm about to give up on are putting themselves into place.. strange but nice.. *nods slowly*
so, wondering who Tedd is? if you're posted with all of my writing, and i really mean all, you'd probably get it.. nope, he's neither human nor God..
Hey Tedd, if THAT's really true, which i'm about to find out tomorrow and i really freaking wish it is, i'm going to be relieved big time! Thanks for being so kind to me lately.. I owe you..

good
whether that was a 'sarcastic' good or a 'good' good, you decide..
She Says, Howie Day
nagsimula sa hindi kagandahang simula.. aga ko pa naman nagising, balak ko talaga umalis ng maaga.. estimated ko ang oras sa pagpapaprint at makakarating ako sa school on time.. ilang ulit ko na ring natalo ang deadline kahit last minute ako nagpprint.. pero hindi ako kinampihan ng swerte kanina.. "15 minutes na lang, pero sakto lang yun", sabi ko sa sarili ko.. kalmado akong naglakad hanggang sa suking computer shop pero nawala yung kalma ko nung makita kong walang vacant unit.. tinext ko agad si [J] at sinabing "uy! musta na?!" este "phnty nmn ung spl ko, mllate ako e.." papunta ako sa isang mukhang mamahaling computer shop habang nagtetext.. nakaupo na ako sa akala kong mag-s-save sa buhay ko nang maalala kong "siyet, wala nga palang Word dito!".. nanlulumo, bumalik ako sa suking comp. shop, salamat naman at may bakante na yun nga lang sarado pa ang CPU, kaya extra hintay na naman.. pero ayos lang, saglit lang naman.. fast forward nang konti.. eh di eto na, piniprint na ang evaluation ko.. pero ano to? parang may horizontal band yung print out.. siyet, naubusan ng ink! ganda ng timing, parang planado!.. at last pagtapos ng ilang minutong hanapan ng ink at paglagay nito, nakalabas din ako at sa wakas papunta na sa school.. dahil sa inis ko sa mga pangyayari nalimutan ko na i-check ang cellphone ko.. nakasakay na ko sa tryke ng maalala ko.. nagreply si [J] at sinabing ipapasa na din pala yung module, na kasalukuyang nasa bahay at di ko dala.. "pwede po balik tayo?..", sabi ko sa tryke driver.. nung nasa bahay na ko, kinuha ko yung module at ibinaba yung e-lab ko.. sa wakas ulit, nakarating din ako sa eskwelahan.. bago pumunta sa dean's office, pinirmahan ko muna yung evaluation ko.. grabe! basa pala yung table at syempre nabasa yung papel ko.. "bakit Les?", sabi ni [G], kitang kita na siguro ang frustration ko sa mga pangyayari.. napatawa na lang ako.. dumiretso na ko sa office para magpasa at matapos na ang lahat ng kamalasan.. pero hindi pa pala.. dahil late na akong dumating, napagsarhan na ako ng office, lunch break na kasi.. sa sobrang frustration ko, sabi ko, "wow ganda sarado pa di ba?".. sinong kausap ko? wala.. mag-isa lang akong pumunta sa office eh.. pero malamang may nakarinig sakin.. kung isa ka don, fyi hindi pa ako baliw.. i was not having a bad day either, sunod sunod na kamalasan lang talaga.. buti naman natapos na don.. swerte ko talaga..

at the brink of optimism
looks like my confidence is giving up on me.. i'm really not the ' i'll give up' type 'cause i've always been 'hopeful/encouraged' deep inside.. but with where i'm at now, something's been circling around my all-at-sea mind.. and that's quitting.. which used to be a foreign word..
IT is not going to be a strange experience, for i've experienced it before, a year and so ago.. but gaadd, i never thought IT could happen again.. not when i thought i already know what to do.. and now, the clock is ticking fast.. and i'm doing everything but think and act faster.. geez, can somebody please tell me where i can buy some more hope? i really could use some.. and a little encouragement too..
shit, i just freaking hope that when i come down, everyone would be asleep..

tonight it's 'it can't get much worse' vs 'no one should ever feel like..'
<-->
i was that close to actually losing it today.. i almost snapped but good thing i was on the driver's seat and steered the car around just in time.. don't know though if it's just that my patience is so little lately or that thing that i was told was really annoying.. gaadd.. so much for repression..
This is Your Life, Switchfoot
Moon (verb) To wander around aimlessly; to spend time idly.
so nice that the term Moon means either "Earth's satellite" and the one above.. the thing which was described by the previous meaning is awesome on its own but it's better that the latter fits me. so if moon is a verb, then, i'm a mooner and, therefore, i like mooning.. but was i moonstruck? you tell me..

she says she's no good with words but i'm worse
Powerless, Nelly Furtado
unbearable and amazing at the same time.
those were the words that could describe that feeling.. it's either that was the first time i've felt that or just the first time i recognized it.. i had thought of the word that would mean the closest and guess what it was?!..
HOLLOW.
not that i can't feel anything, as in numb, insensitive or doesn't care.. i was just plain hollow.. like there's no such thing as "feeling".. like when somebody talks to me, i'll just hear it but i wouldn't understand a word.. but the oddest part was when i laugh or try to feel anything, it was like my emotions had nowhere to go to.. so though i try to feel, i can't.. do you get what i'm saying? i doubt it.. it's really hard to explain.. but i managed to recover from that later in the day.. gaadd.. it was a scary feeling..
Goodbye My Lover, James Blunt
i'm supposed to be doing our documentation which is due 15 hrs from now.. but, look at me, i'm doing a blog entry instead.. and with my status, i'll surely pull an all-nighter.. *my heart raced, just by typing that* i have not the faintest idea as to what is going to happen with our project.. and that makes me more nervous.. looks like history is going to repeat itself.. but God, i pray not.. and that also counts for my friends..

sabi nang wala akong gana!
destiny cracked a joke.. and again, i'm the punchline..
I'm lazy not because i'm not energetic.
I'm sad not because i'm unhappy.
I'm tired not because i had a lot to do.
I'm impatient not because my patience was tested.
I'm frustrated not because i'm dissatisfied.
I'm happy not because i'm not sad.
I'm annoyed not because something annoys me.
I'm not a big talker today not because i have nothing to say.
I don't make any sense not because i'm non-sense.
i'm supposed to have a lot to write today but since they're too many, i forgot most of them.. so..
Love according to Plato: One day a student asked Plato, "What is Love?" Plato said, "There's a wheat field ahead, go there and pick one leaf that you think is extra ordinary and then go back." After a few minutes, the student came back with an empty hand. Plato asked why. The student replied, "On my way, I saw an extra ordinary leaft but I did not pick it because I might find another ahead, but as I found another I realized that it was not as extra-ordinary like the one I first saw, confused as I am, I ended up picking nothing." Plato said, "That's love."

roughly 500 meters of walking * 5 times + fiery sun + 100 pesos / dehydration = my day
kung alam ko lang na mapupunta sa wala ang lahat eh di sana natulog na lang ako buong hapon.. lahat ng pawis, pagod, gastos at abala, lahat dirediretso sa drain.. parang may narining pa nga akong agos eh.. mas malala pa, parang tinawag pa ako, "les! babagsak ka na! woohoo!" *splash* pero ewan ko rin, parang sa kasulok sulukan ng isip ko eh alam kong mangyayari na naman 'to.. kaso nangibabaw ang pagkaoptimistic ko. . ayun, pessimistic tuloy ang grade ko..
pero dahil likas na yata ang pagkaoptimistic ko, kaya ko pa ding sabihin sa sarili ko na, "at least you tried Les.." alam ko namang kung hindi namin tnry kanina eh di mas lalong malaki ang magiging panghihinayang namin, not knowing what could've happened.. kaya, sige na nga, ayos na din..

has anybody seen my bikini?
Summer is so here!.. and i know it's not just me who feels it.. i can barely feel air reaching me right now (it's summer or our fan is just covered with dirt).. anyway, walking under the sun is FUN but when it's THIS hot, i'm gonna have to change my mind for the mean time.. but though i think the sun is some kind of a torture right now, i still think it would be nice to take a trip somewhere this coming vacation.. somewhere i've never been before.. somewhere it would take me at least 2 hours to get there by land.. but it's better if i can get there by air, or by sea even.. the bottom line is i want to take a vacation.. a 3-days and 2-nights escape.. this would serve as a treat for myself (i'm already thinking of treats, i haven't accomplished anything yet)..
one thing that i've always thought of doing each time vacations and breaks come is hiking.. but unfortunately, the closest i've been to hiking was when we went to the botanical garden at Mt. Makiling way back in high school.. wouldn't it be nice to hike, laugh, eat, rest a little, and stop over a river on the way, then take a dip? that would be quite an experience since anything from nature is amazing.. damn it, now i really want to go hiking..
and of course, who lets the summer vacation pass without going to the beach even once?.. (i do sometimes, but hopefully not this year).. personally, i like beaches more than swimming pools.. i don't know.. maybe because the view's often better at beaches.. although the ambience at pool resorts are nice too.. but given the experience that i had last year, when we went to this resort in Batangas (the one that is a tourist spot, as taught by elementary schools), i officially adored beaches and how it practically looked endless.. and a big plus on how the whole place looks as the sun sets, you know, the dark yellowish, orange-ish? type that happens during the transition of light and darkness.. (oh yes, i'm a sucker for breath-taking views, no doubt about that) hayyy..
anyway.. school's not yet over so my "plans" will not yet come to life for at least a month.. but hey, a month is just like a swoosh, so maybe i should already be looking for my bikini.. hihi..

the more, the many-er?!
i changed my blog address for two reasons:
- tuloypokayo sounds very welcoming.. not that people are not welcome to see my page but, you know, it was TOO welcoming.. you know what i mean..
- my ever growing fascination with idioms convinced me to do so..
i've been thinking about doing this since last weekend, so it was no "spur of the moment" thing..
why the name?
actually, this wasn't my top choice.. i really wanted it to be catch22, but it was taken already.. (really annoying since that page wasn't maintained, i wish that address would just be mine instead..) my next choice was elephantintheroom.. other names were offtheradar, slowasmolasses, overthemoon, and souptonuts, you know what the results turned out to be..
so, what do they mean?
- to keep a stiff upper lip is to exercise self-restraint in the expression of emotion..
- catch22 takes the same meaning as "a no win situation" (have always loved this one)
- there is an elephant in the room when a problem is obvious to all but spoken by none..
- something off the radar is something not popular..
- to work as slow as molasses is to work in a very slow manner..
- being over the moon is being very happy..
- from soup to nuts means from beginning to end..
