woohoo!

after a week of pure hell (which i needed, by the way), it's time for pure relaxation. in a few minutes, we'll be going to a videoke bar and sing our stress away. very exciting for me since i haven't really gone out at all this past week because of the weird schedule. y'know...reporting for work early on monday then going home late...then reporting late the following day...going home late again.. that cycle? well, here's my chance to unwind. and i definitely will! ;)

happy weekend, everyone! :D

closure

"Adiós", "Arrivederci", "Auf Wiedersehen", "Au revoir", "Paalam", "Sayonara", "Vale"...whatever language may be used, it's still means "Goodbye". for 7 months now, my ex and i have been trying to say this to each other. it's been hard for both of us, so we created loopholes just not to say goodbye. but it finally happened. he finally said that he wants to give up everything that has to do with me...our friendship, our common friends, our memories. that is the only way he could really move on...and i understand that. i really do. but that doesn't stop me from being sad. it's really hard to lose a friend...one that you've been with for years...one who knows you inside and out...one who accepted you for who and what you are and what you've become...one who shares and supports your dreams and ambitions, whatever they may be...one who allows you to be yourself...one who always had your best interest at heart. yes, he was all that...which makes me wonder til now if i made the right decision. but i know i had to do it. i know i also have to move on. i know i have to let go. i know i have to be strong.

I Love You, Goodbye
by Celine Dion

Wish I could be the one
The one who could give you love
The kind of love you really need
Wish I could say to you
That I’ll always stay with you
But baby that’s not me
You need someone willing to give their heart and soul to you
Promise you forever, baby that’s something I can’t do
Oh I could say that I’ll be all you need
But that would be a lie
I know I’d only hurt you
I know I’d only make you cry
I’m not the one you’re needing
I love you, goodbye

I hope someday you can find some way to understand
I’m only doing this for you
I don’t really wanna go
But deep in my heart I know this is the kindest thing to do
You’ll find someone who’ll be the one that I could never be
Who’ll give you something better
Than the love you’ll find with me
Oh I could say that I’ll be all you need
But that would be a crime
I know I’d only hurt you
I know I’d only make you cry
I’m not the one you’re needing
I love you, goodbye

Leaving someone when you love someone
Is the hardest thing to do
When you love someone as much as I love you

Oh I don’t wanna leave you
Baby it tears me up inside
But I’ll never be the one you’re needing
I love you, goodbye

Baby, it’s never gonna work out
I love you, goodbye

the day you said goodnight

by hale

take me as you are
push me off the road
the sadness i need this time to be with you
i’m freezing in the sun
i’m burning in the rain
the silence I’m screaming
calling out your name

and i do reside in your light
put out the fire with me and find
yeah you lose the side of your circles
that’s what i’ll do if we say goodbye

to be is all i got to be
and all that i see
and all that i need this time
to me the life you gave me
the day you said goodnight

the calmness in your face
that i see through the night
the warmth of your light is pressing unto us
you didn’t ask me why
i never would have known
oblivion is falling down

if you could only know me
like your prayers at night
lhen everything between you and me will be alright

she’s already taken
she’s already taken
she’s already taken me
the day you said goodnight

i've been hearing this song over and over for the past 2 weeks. it seems that it follows me everywhere! makes me wonder...does this song apply to me? ;p

great line

i watched monster radio rx 93.1's fantastic four movie premiere last night with some friends. the movie was very cool! here's a line in the movie which i cannot ever forget:

the thing (to invisible girl) : look at me! you don't know what i'd give to be invisible...

...or something like that. ;)

5th anniversary

june 25 commemorates the 5th anniversary of our choir, voice symphony. our group realized this during our outing, so we planned on a simple get-together as a celebration. since not all members were available on the exact weekend of the anniversary, we celebrated it yesterday instead. we started out by singing at the 8:15 am mass of rancho II (a subdivision in marikina), then having lunch togather and simply having fun afterwards. check out the photos of this very memorable event here. :)
