Remember the love!

Seasons of love!– Seasons of Love, Rent: The Musical
Let’s sing it! (after the jump)
This is one Saturday when I got the chance to really rest the whole day. I spent the day sleeping, eating, and watching my series via streaming. And since megavideo stops me from continuing my series bliss every 72 minutes, I had to find some way to kill time. When I was done stalking people in Facebook, I dug my online secret diaries and started reading..
As many of you may probably learn, I’m quitting my first ever job. It was a difficult, sad decision. Like, I couldn’t help crying a river in front of my managers while talking about my decision. Every minute as I feel that the last day draws nearer, contributes to a tear in my eye. Yes, I am THAT emotional. All my projects in the company had a lot of effect on me. Even the people I met along the way. Everyone I treasured. Everything has a space in my ultra-emotional/sentimental heart. And I could not do anything about the heart-thingy. I could not control my passion to my projects, to the work. It’s disturbing sometimes, because someone told me, after sometime, I will be forgotten.. Hence I should not let myself too attached to work. I’ll try to work that out.
Again I found some entries in my secret stash funny.. The first time I got my pay check.. the PNB days… The first time I travelled abroad (with my PNB mates no wonder), the first time I got to Boracay (with them again
)… the first time I got to Japan for training… that moment when I felt that the city and I had a connection
… the first time I played badminton… christmas parties (where I feel that I always had to do something to be the STAR) … The minute I got my working visa to live in Japan for quite some time… Those crazy times in the isolated-fabulous Okinawa land (a lot of crazy alone time. Hahaha.)… The Tokyo adventure (and misadventures
) … The boys… err… boys? No boys
.. oh, my first modeling stint in Fujitsu Knowledge Center hahahaha!
I could not list down everything in one posting… but one thing for sure, I was enjoying most of my time in the company. And I may have not grown up to be the best star employee… but I learned a lot. Though I’m quitting, the learning is never-ending.
I had to bid farewell. I had to do it… to move on.
One week to go…
Hearing mushy songs makes me go cheezy all over.. unavoidable even in the middle of work. Maybe it’s a monday so my office brain wasn’t on fire.. yet. Hence, here’s your little whiney baby, again.
I found myself feeling “alone”. Anyone can argue with me and slap me out of it, demand me to look around me and enumerate all the social advantages that I have. Of course I understand that, and still thankful.
So it’s quite difficult to get an exact definition for my term – “alone”. Perhaps it’s more ok to tell it to a fellow mushy single person, perhaps there could be a better understanding. I don’t know.
Maybe my too-imaginative mind traveled around the universe, and took me to a lot of heights.. I’m thinking this way – one day, I would get all my dreams, my career goals. I could be the president of my company (hell yeah). I could own my clubbing business. I could grab my empire, be the most stylish and most glamourous party-girl you’ll ever know. I could get all the money in the world. Yes, I could be that girl. That woman. Money and Power and Beauty (thank you doctors) all combined.
What if I have ALL that… but I am all alone. Party galore all-night or work-all night (eww) and feel miserable in the office and not feel OK coz I don’t have someone to go home to that is worth it all, or don’t have additional reasons to wake up in the morning very happy, wake up with a hug, and a kiss, and maybe more! hahaha. No one to go crazy with. No one to do all that. What if? It’s gonna suck.
I’m missing that happiness that you get whenever you’re with someone. It gets annoying sometimes when everyone pushes you to guys because they know that you’re single. But I’m sport to anything anyway, so it’s OK. It also comes to a realization that maybe they’re right. I’m not doing anything to make myself available. It’s difficult to open yourself when you’re too hung up. Or wait for the right “moment” – that moment when he comes in and the sparks are there.
How I wish it would all be easy, not to desire the guys who are unavailable and unreachable (stars, in other words), coz for some unknown reason I always do that. Nor to expect, base too much on standards (remind me to burn that “le list”), nor wait for miracles to happen, which I always do as well.
When all my crisis are over, there would be more moments of contemplation, and evaluation. Of course, life is not designed to be easy. There has to be some thinking factor. Something has to be replaced when it’s gone. Something bad has to be replaced with a new bad (and ugly) when it becomes good. Something like that.
So I will stop right here. And keep all these to myself. Before I sound like a radio drama show.
It’s still valentine season. So it’s legal to whine and mumble about all the mushiness. See I told you I’m still the same, hehe.
This weekend, I did nothing. As in that was the ultimate hibernation at it’s best. I just slept, ate and slept again. At times, I dream and fantasize. But it’s actually dreaming most of the time (coz I am always asleep). I never went out, I just quietly switch rooms (mom’s and mine) and be the laziest person in the planet. Felt good actually to catch up with my streaming episodes of Grey’s, Private Practice, Lost (season 6 oh yeah!), and Glee! .. or sometimes harass the smart-bro customer service because of their uber super slow connection!
I’m shouting for this… Give me a guitar god!!! I want my guitar tuned!! Please oh please.. I’ve been longing to play the guitar (even cut my nails short)… I always find myself strumming again with an imaginary guitar in the bus, and my seatmate probably thinks I’m crazy… or doing something down there, and it’s not quite ethical you know!
Anyway, just got into one of the posts of my new stalkable-blogs-of-all-time, Good Times with Mo. I never got to listen to his morning radio show because I’m a commuter. The bus drivers won’t give in to my request because they get bored when there’s DJs talking more than the music playing.
A question of what would you rather be – to dump or be dumped? I chose the same as Mo, I would choose to be dumped.. maybe because my threshold for pain is quite deep, and I would not want to feel the guilt eating me for the whole breakup season (that time after the breakup, whether it’s months or years), especially if the guy is someone perfect. And… I don’t want to be the evil one. Probably I enjoyed (sort of) the moving-on stage (maybe I’m just saying that but not technically true when I’m on the actual setting).
Quite surprising coz I’m a girl, and I read somewhere… that girls are supposed to be the ones trashing boys
(no offense guys)..
I came up with a new set of questions actually,
(1) Would you settle with someone you don’t love but loves you so much;
(2) OR Would you wait for that someone you love but doesn’t love you back…?
(You can interchange “like” and “love”, although they don’t really mean the same thing. But sometimes…)
Quite tricky huh. There’s a long debate for this but for a quick one, I always end up saying no to (1) and yes to (2).. even if it would take me forever. And it’s quite pathetic coz usually I would always end a loser.
My reason being is that if it’s (1), I would always dump someone, and it’s gonna make me feel guilty (related to Mo’s post). Next, is that there would be a possibility that this someone might be the one – the one that could give me the ultimate happiness that no one could ever give me, and I let him go.. and it’s gonna suck.
Yes to (2) because, that’s just how my biological-whatever ticks. I couldn’t settle. I always look for “sparks”, “fireworks” and chemistry. If there ain’t any, it ain’t gonna work. Liking or loving someone can be “learned”, they say. I really dunno how it’s learned. And I’m not dying to find out either, coz I feel that it’s scary. My viewpoint is that when two people fall in love, and somewhere along the way, one fell out of it, the relationship should end… Also if I feel that it’s going the rocky roads, I would end it right away… Or if the feelings are not mutual in the first place, then there’s no reason to go deeper.
Friends, including my mother, tell me that’s not how it should be. Sometimes we have to let go of our stupid ideals and try something new… Fight or keep on trying.
I’m not so sure if it’ll work on me. People say I’m too picky, and intimidating(?!?!) because of (repeat after me), my stupid ideals. And that stupid list I kept and had always written these past few years
I don’t know that much a lot, maybe it’s just me talking about the perfect world. That everything is ideal. That everything is mutual. That it should always be the happy path. Clearly, I’m still a baby.
Valentines Sucks. All these hearts hearts all around – I hate them that they’re all making me puke. — NAHH!! I know you wouldn’t believe that I said that
These past days (and these past few posts), I was all negative. So I refuse to be angry this time. It’s the season of *love*. It’s time to submit to romance sometimes.
But thank God that Valentines fell on a Sunday! And on a new year (Chinese), so I would have reasons for being dateless. That if somebody would ask me, I would say it’s sunday, it’s family day!
Before, I used to get excited and gush gush over valentines day posts and usually came up with a “list”. It’s been what, n years… I really didn’t get to have a valentines date. So I always end the day with a list of “requirements” for “the man”. Now, I’m not doing anything closer to that.
I won’t make any lists, nor make any wish. Honestly, I don’t care. I’m not bitter. I’m not hating the people for celebrating love. I don’t know if it would happen to me or something, like if somebody would be giving me flowers and all, I know I would giggle. It’s still me. I’m pro-valentine season.
But I got tired of hearing or seeing too many cliches. Maybe because of the tough times, or the accumulated broken hearts, or my insecurities. And it scares the hell out of me. Because I really don’t want to be that monster, whom every year, would find reasons to hate valentines, or the idea of love. A mockery of what I would become if I continue being this – the valentine monster, and I will eat crazy-in-love people alive. Scary!!
I know the feeling of being in love. It’s fantastic. And I know that a part of me is still longing for somebody. Somebody that would give me balance. You know, I hate the world, and I love it too because there’s someone who makes me feel it. Shallowness at its best
Anyway, Ive been longing to perfect this song in my guitar since my blogspot days – Another Day by Mojofly. I’ll post my video *faint* once I get to perfect it. It’s been my theme song ever since, too. Hehe, always loved this song,
My guitar’s out of tune again! And it’s difficult to find (and bully) someone to tune it.
Happy Valentines Day everyone!
