wednesday
my health fluctuated drastically since last week. i become weaker, i have this stuff with my tummy for a week now, severe headaches from time to time, lbm (yikes), i dunno what's happening but i just pretend that i'm okay. .but sometimes, i cant help not to cry out loud! i wanted to see a doctor but, aside from the storm the past week, i already know what the doctor will tell me so i chose not to. i know this isnt just a physical matter, i'm not emotionally fit for months now, i've been trying to let go of the extra baggages that i've been carrying, making it hard for me to move on, but i just cannot. last night, i was feverish. i know it can get worse coz my joints feel awkward and my flesh feels as if it's being torn apart--sign of flu. so i had to go to bed early. well, i tried hard to. earlier than the previous days, i was able to sleep past midnight. but then, i suddenly woke up at around 2am. then, just a few seconds passed, my fone vibrated. somebody wanted to chat with me! no way, i need to be ok the next day so i tried to go back to sleep but to no avail. i tried to make up stories in my mind, just what i always do whenever i need to fall asleep, but it didnt work. the long hand of the clock pointed to 7 while the short one was just a little beyond 4. i decided to get up, grab some food to eat, feed my cats and go online. i just intended to check my mails and other social network accounts but i ended up writing a blog. i was halfway through this blog when my alarm rang out so loud i had to run to my bed when blagg, i didnt see this chair so i hit it with my left shin! now i have this small skinned area on my shin. enough of this rubbish talk. and hey, i lost my momentum to write. i am actually playing a music challenge on facebook at the same time. i know i need to log-out and start reviewing my math notes, or try going back to sleep again. i just went again to the WC (yikes again) and now my head's starting to ache. darn it's 6:21am. i thought i'm gonna write something coherent this time but i think i did otherwise. i multitasked again. God bless my grey Wednesday!

John Reuben
(Feat. Matt Theissen from Relient K)
So here we are in the same old spot,
knowing something needs to happen but our mouths are locked.
tongue tied, closed tight, sealed shut yup.
I tried hard,
but it just wouldn�t come up.
It's on the tip of my tongue,
it's in the front of my mind.
But the words were still so hard to find.
Finally the reality of things to come pushed me to the edge.
I jumped off the cliff into the abyss as I said,
Chorus
I�m not trying to be a nuisance.
I just think we can do better than this.
That was simply my two cents.
You can, you can, take it or leave it.
The conversation lingered on and on,
Before I knew it, night had turned to dawn.
We'll be searching for the truth in all of this
ha, or are we debating, just to win the argument.
Cause none of us wanna hear about where we go wrong.
This song could easily be from me to you, or me to john.
Cause I have the potential, to be the guiltiest ha.
My greatest strength is also my strongest weakness.
chorus
chorus
Let's think about this path that we're taking,
Let's think about this future we're creating.
Let's think about this life that is fading,
Think about it
Come on, think about now
Lets think about this time we're spending,
Investing in monetary things that are ending.
Let's think about it then.
Let's think together.
Let's think about what we can do to make it better.

We can, we will do better than this.(repeated)

on friendship and happiness
i wrote this way back in april for a class, i think i need to do a lot of editing coz this was a rush work haha. i havent even finished this YET.
On Friendship and Happiness
It will be difficult to discuss the relationship between friendship and happiness without mentioning love. As I gathered in the Nicomachean Ethics, “love is an activity that brings about friendship and therefore happiness at the end”. It means that when you don’t love yourself, you wouldn’t be good to yourself nor be friend to your self therefore it will be difficult for you to be good to others or even be friends with others; and when you have no friend, happiness is difficult to attain. As I understand Aristotle, self love is important for us to see our selves’ worth but not to the extent that we become self-centered that we don’t care for other beings. Self love means that one must love one’s self therefore he will do things or activities that will improve himself only to be of help to other people. Aristotle even said that “To be a good man, one should love himself.” It is important for one to be a good man for a good man is surely a good friend that everyone desires. And also the saying “charity begins at home” as a definition of love only intensifies the importance of self love. For charity means sharing to others what you possess. So how one will be able to share to others something he doesn’t posses? The act of charity that most politicians claim to do is not really a genuine charity for what they share to people actually came from the people (the taxes they paid). If a poor farmer owns a piece of land and he planted crops on it and persevere each day to yield good crops and on the harvest time he shares his produce with his sick neighbor who is in need of assistance, that can be called charity for the farmer shares what genuinely is his. And if the farmer enrolled on a seminar about farming so he can do his craft better, can’t it be called self love? When one loves himself in order to be good at what he does thinking that he can share more to others later on, isn’t it altruism as well? Therefore self love promotes altruism. It may sound paradoxical but I believe that when one loves himself so that he can share more to the good of many others, it is indeed unselfishness.
I guess children naturally are unselfish, or should I just speak for myself. As a child, I thought less of myself and thought more of the people around me. I also thought about the things surrounding me like my pet dogs, the matters old people were discussing and were said that I cannot understand for I was young, about life (I remember asking my mom the reason of our existence on earth when I was four or five) and the things that are not yet known to me then but I knew existed. I also thought of helping the poor old woman cross the street but I just cannot cross the street. I thought of the reason why we use Gumamela to make bubbles instead of the Sampaguita. The less I thought of my self the happier I was. I don’t really agree when Aristotle said that “a boy is not happy owing to his age…for it is required not only complete virtue but also a complete life…” for my happiest days were in my childhood when I believe I made friends not based on utility nor pleasure for I have not yet the notion of utility, perhaps pleasure but I can say it was based on virtue for the friendships I made then still exists now although there are not benefits I can think of that they get from me nor I from them. And I can say those were the happy days and not pleasurable days for it lasted for a long time. Or Aristotle may be right in saying that for as I grew up, happiness seemed to be out of reach so were friends.
Friendship for me is a relationship that I don’t put so much trouble on as I grew up. I was aware that we are social being but there was this point in my life when I believed that we can be self-sufficient and we don’t need anybody to lead a “good” life and be happy. And those were my dark days. The end I was struggling for then was contentment. I thought not of happiness but of contentment. I thought people and relationships bring about pains and sufferings so I distanced my self from people. Though many of my acquaintance would say I am friendly, in truth I only have a handful of friends. I mean, my kind of friendship comes in layers—from the best friend to the mere acquaintance. When I was a kid, I have peers who have what they call best friends. And I don’t have one, probably, because I have such a high standard for a best friend. I believed that a best friend must be a perfect friend. My best friend must understand me at all times and accept me for who I really am and not with what I have (maybe I was then thinking of the idea of friendship based on virtue but it cannot be for I have so many conditions) and other qualifications I can think of. So I just settled for the several close friends I have then. They were reliable and truthful to me. And as I grew up these close friends remained as they were but some of them I promoted to a higher degree of friendship until one of them finally became my best friend. We’ve known each other since we were eight and we’ve been friends for a long time but only in college that we declared that we are each other’s best friends. It was during my dark days that our friendship became really close. As it were my “self-sufficient days”, she’s maybe one of the exceptions that I made. I tried to prove that a man can really be self-sufficient (my own terms: I didn’t get my allowance from my parents but I did survived from my tutorial earnings but still not self-sufficient for I relied on somebody else) but I proved myself wrong. I had not a clue why I was trying hard to isolate myself from people. I might be tired of interacting with them but what can I do, it is indeed necessary for a man to interact with another. Aristotle said that “even a happy man need friends for friends is the greatest of external goods…a good man need people to do well by”. How much more a confused teenager would need people to get by? That maybe the way I got a true friendship in my troubled days. But isn’t it a friendship based on utility for I needed someone who I can trust my self with? But on my part it is indeed a friendship based on virtue for after several years gone by, and though I thought I wasn’t really a “good man” then, the friendship remained intact. Aristotle also said that “friendship is a way to make us happy”. I agree with him for the mere presence of friends uplift one’s spirit especially on bad times. “The man who is to be happy will therefore need virtuous friends” as it is in the readings but where can we find those good men?
There are decreasing good men these days if we would take Aristotle’s definition of a good man. Maybe there are still virtues men these days. But distinguishing a virtues man from a pretender is quite hard to do. Trust is an essential element on relationships especially on friendships, but how can one be assured that the trust would not be betrayed? Of course it is a risk to trust another person. But if one wouldn’t take the risk, no relationship will be formed. And the thing that I don’t like in myself is that I always tend to trust people even strangers. And even when the trust had been betrayed the first time, I would still give the person the benefit of the doubt as Aristotle put it , a good friend thinks that “he would never wrong me” to his friend. But such thought is only applicable on “friendships among good men for both are friends for their own sake…for the virtue of their goodness”. Why can’t all friendships be like that? “True friendship”, according to Aristotle, “is without qualification, good or pleasant seems to be good and desirable—friendship is a state of character—mutual love involves choice and choice springs from state of character” So what is the relationship between happiness and friendship?
It is said that “we all wanted eternal happiness.” It is also said that friendship brings about happiness. If happiness is the ultimate end and we can attain it through our relationshipwith others, i.e.friendship, therefore we must be at all times be good to ourselves so to be good to others so to gain friends and finally reach the eternal happiness.

Butterfly
this is the Mariah Carey that i like as a kid, no boobworks yet and what a natural hair there, no rebond/hair spa then yet she still looks gorgeous..
the real reason i uploaded this mv, aside from the fact that it's wonderfully made, is that the song captures exactly how i feel now. i used to listen to it way way back. i loved the melody but i was too young then to understand the meaning of the lyrics that goes with it. it's just now that i understand it, i can relate to it..soo muchh..enjoy watching!
Butterfly lyrics
Artist: Mariah Carey
Verse 1
ooh ooh
When you love someone so deeply
They become your life
It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside
Blindly I imagined I could
Keep you under glass
Now I understand to hold you
I must open up my hands and watch you rise
Chorus
Spread you wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly (Oooh)
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be, so spread your wings and fly
Butterfly
Verse 2
I have learned that beauty
Has to flourish in the light
Wild horses run unbridled
Or their spirit dies
You have given me the courage
To be all that I can
And I truly feel your heart will
Lead you back to me when you're
Ready to land
Chorus
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly (Oooh)
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me, we truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly (spread your wings and fly)
Butterfly (butterfly)
Bridge
I can't pretend these tears
Aren't overflowing steadily
I can't prevent this hurt from
Almost overtaking me
But I will stand and say goodbye (stand and say goodbye)
For you'll never be mine
Until you know the way it feels to fly
Chorus
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly (Oooh)
Fly abandonedly into the sun (fly to the sun)
If you should return to me (I will know you're mine)
We truly were meant to be (spread your wings and fly)
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly (my butterfly)
Chorus
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be (you and I)
So spread your wings and fly (spread your wings and fly)
Butterfly
So flutter through the sky
Butterfly
Fly
Spread your wings and fly
Butterfly.

drive
i've been watching various films lately, hoping to draw inspiration from it. i just watch film on that purpose. dont get me wrong, i love watching films (especially the ones that give me goose bumps--not exactly thrillers coz i'm not into that type of films--but those that give me something..a lesson maybe or hope or anything that will make me keep going on with my life) especially in cinemas but i dont often do it coz i'm afraid i might get addicted to it..so i always stay away from the dvds at home. going back, i've been dropping a lot of important things lately. i feel so static again. i lost my drive for the nth time. i feel that i reached an end..that my life stops here..but i dont wanna believe that. i wanna believe that i just fell on a muddy puddle and i will be able to get up again, stand and clean myself and move on with the journey. i cant remember exactly how many films i had seen since yesterday when i was supposed to be studying for a completion exam tomorrow. but then i dont regret anything at all. somehow, the last 2 movies i've seen was quite successful on getting me back on my feet. i just hope that i wound totally find my way back into myself again in no time. and when i do, i hope i would stay driven for a longer time. i still wanna move on, grow up and keep on walking til i reach my destination.
Bajm- Rzeka marzeń
i dunno why i like this song.
Ostatni oddech s³oñca przynosi wiatr
pod z³ot¹ ³une, pod œwiata p³on¹cy dach.
Znad Rzeki Wspomnieñ obraz unosi sie:
dom twój daleki zgubiony dawno gdzieœ.
Z dala od bliskich, w nieznane rzuci³ los,
w gwarze tajemnic brzmi nowy, nieznany g³os.
Znad Rzeki Wspomnieñ ob³ok unosi sie:
dom twój daleki zgubiony dawno gdzieœ.
Wyci¹gnij d³onie i chwyæ marzenie,
ono rozproszy z³e losów cienie.
Niechaj nadziei skrzyd³a bia³e
z powrotem nios¹ cie, jak wiatr.
Wyci¹gnij d³onie i chwyæ marzenie,
ono rozproszy z³e losów cienie.
Niechaj nadziei skrzyd³a bia³e
z powrotem nios¹ cie, jak wiatr.
I wtedy czujesz, jak dobrze mo¿e byæ,
kiedy bezpiecznym snom ju¿ nie zagra¿a nic.
Znad Rzeki Wspomnieñ ksie¿yc odsuwa mg³e,
dom twój daleki znowu odp³ywa gdzieœ...
Wyci¹gnij d³onie i chwyæ marzenie,
ono rozproszy z³e losów cienie.
Niechaj nadziei skrzyd³a bia³e
z powrotem nios¹ cie, jak wiatr.
Wyci¹gnij d³onie i chwyæ marzenie,
ono rozproszy z³e losów cienie.
Niechaj nadziei skrzyd³a bia³e
z powrotem nios¹ cie, jak wiatr.
Ostatni oddech s³oñca przynosi wiatr
Tak, wyci¹gnij d³onie i chwyæ marzenie...

Wenn das Liebe ist
exactly how i feel now :|
Bin unter Tränen eingeschlafen
bin unter Tränen wieder aufgewacht
hab' über dieselbe beschissene Frage
zwei Millionen mal nachgedacht
Hab' mich verdreht und mich gewendet
mit dem selben Scheissproblem
für dich ist es beendet,
aber ich, ich, ich kann dich sehen
ich kann dich sehen
Kann nicht schlafen kann nicht essen
Ich kann es nicht verstehen
Du hast mich vergessen
während Erinnerungen mich lähmen
Hab' Angst vor dem Abend
mir graut vor der Nacht
weil dann genau dieselbe Frage
mich wach hält, warum bist du nicht da
Warum bist du nicht da
Wenn das Liebe ist,
warum bringt es mich um den Schlaf
Wenn das Liebe ist,
warum raubt es mir meine Kraft
Wenn das Liebe ist,
sag mir was es mit mir macht
Wenn das Liebe ist,
was, was, was ist dann Hass
Was ist dann Hass
Wenn das liebe ist
warum tut es so weh?
Tausend Mal deine Nummer gewählt
und tausend Mal wieder aufgelegt
Die ganze Kacke eh keinem erzählt
Wer versteht schon wie du mir fehlst
Genau das bedingt den
ganzen anderen Stress
Leider kann ich nicht so viel trinken
dass ich, dass ich dich vergess´
Das ich dich vergess´
Wenn das Liebe ist,
warum bringt es mich um den Schlaf
Wenn das Liebe ist,
warum raubt es mir meine Kraft
Wenn das Liebe ist,
sag mir was es mit mir macht
Wenn das Liebe ist,
was, was, was ist dann Hass
Was ist dann Hass
In meinem Leben
denn ich brauche dich in meinem leben
meine farben verblassen wenn meine sonne nicht scheint
brauche dich zum überleben
wie fische das wasser kann nicht ohne dich sein
kann nicht sein
kann nicht sein
Wahrscheinlich is´ das hier die regel
man lebt eine weile ganz glücklich zu zweit
irgendwann trennen sich die wege
und jeder geht einfach seinen eigenen allein
doch was mich betrifft könntest du genauso gut wenn
du gehen willst mir arme und beine abtrennen
Wahrscheinlich ist es so im leben
nichts ist für ewig alles vergeht mit der zeit
verbindungen reissen wie fäden
wie töricht es sein muss zu wollen, dass was bleibt
doch in meinem fall ist es ein anderes problem
wer mir dich nimmt kann mir ebenso augen und ohren nehmen
Ich frag´ mich was ich dem entgegne
das so wie es aussieht hier die regel zu sein
scheint denn ich brauch´ dich in jedem
fall hier bei mir wie soll ich`s beschreiben
du bist für mich unentbehrlich und ich bete dafür,
dass du bleibst weil wenn du gehst es mir die kehle abschnürt

i've been listening to their songs for quite sometime now but i havent seen them til i browsed their site today and well, they're really amazing. i just love their style..and yeah, their music videos as well.
i dunno why i kept on listening to it

Schwenk zur Seite steht der Schnellimbisswagen,
schon geschlossen `n Taxi fährt vorbei,
Nahaufnahme fast schon zu lässig.
leicht zurückgelehnt steht er an der Wand
und murmelt: "Mit dir und mir is´ nun endgültig Essig"
klingt bescheuert und doch so bekannt
Drum sag´ ich mir

alles halb so schlimm
is´ nur Kino
nur ein schlechter Film
