random ramblings

it's almost the end of april, but it doesn't feel like it. raining in the middle of summer? must be global warming. i haven't even set foot on any beach this summer, and it's already flooding in makati. haha.

-*-

i don't know if it's my sadistic side trying to come out, but i miss, in a twisted way, stress. say what?! maybe i was so used to having stress for breakfast, lunch and dinner for four and a half years that it's taking a while to get it out of my system. i am not so sure if miss is the perfect term, and i don't know what kind of stress i actually miss, or what kind of person i am to be missing stress (haha!). i still sleep late, but only because i spend way too much time on the internet. i no longer dream of my clients' account numbers or the 3270 black screen. no more sudden rude realizations about a task i had to do but forgot and have an automatic panic attack because it's a saturday and there's nothing i can really do about it until monday. ( <-- now this is funny..) i don't hear the L150 reading checks or that override request buzz in my head anymore. i am so much better off at my new work now, even if i'm only almost three months in. i am still bitter about my former job, though. it's been taking me FOREVER to call up HR. gahd. and everytime i visit the bank, i still feel a bit of tension only because i hated (more like: hated with a passion) my time (prison?) there. it just takes time, i guess. hopefully, i'll look back on my banking career and have a good laugh.. because right now, it feels like i have been scarred for life.

in freaking denial. ;p

i feel like i need some sort of emotional brake. yup, that's right, brake. pull-string-in-case-of-emergency. break-glass-in-case-of-fire. i am thankful for the long weekend because it has given me time to sllloooowww down; i was on full speed, almost crushing crashing. (lol!)

why fight the current when it's nearly impossible to swim against it? but then again, why get in the water when you know you can't swim in the first place?

time for a change..

pictures of you, pictures of me - the last goodnight

This is the clock upon the wall
This is the story of us all
This is the first sound of a newborn child,
Before he starts to crawl
This is the war that’s never won
This is a soldier and his gun
This is the mother waiting by the phone,
Praying for her son

(Chorus)
Pictures of you, pictures of me
Hung upon your wall for the world to see
Pictures of you, pictures of me
Remind us all of what we used to be

There is a drug that cures it all
Blocked by the governmental wall
We are the scientists inside the lab,
Just waiting for the call
This earthquake weather has got me shaking inside
I'm high up and dry

Pictures of you, pictures of me
Hung upon your wall for the world to see
Pictures of you, pictures of me
Remind us all of what we used to be


Confess to me, every secret moment
Every stolen promise you believed
Confess to me, all that lies between us
All that lies between you and me


We are the boxers in the ring
We are the bells that never sing
There is a title we can't win no matter
How hard we might swing

Pictures of you, pictures of me
Hung upon your wall for the world to see
Pictures of you, pictures of me
Remind us all of what we used to be

Pictures of you, pictures of me
Hung upon your wall for the world to see
Pictures of you, pictures of me
Remind us all of what we could have been

movie: definitely, maybe.

i've watched parts of the movie definitely, maybe starring ryan reynolds and isla fisher over the past week. it was recommended to me by my friend, aps, and one of the movie's main characters is named april, and heck this is my first blog post for the month of april. :) i took advantage of the long weekend, hoping it would be shown on hbo again but it aired for the last time last sunday. so i panicked, and watched it online instead. (i know, bad!) of course, watching it took forever, and i slept at around 4:30 am, but so worth it.

i loved it. my favorite part was april and will meeting at a bar/restaurant and talking about the "real deal". (unfortunately, i can't find a clip for this one.)

will : you see, i don't want a fling. i want the real deal.
april: forget about the real deal. you don't find it, it finds you.
will : what does that mean? i don't know what that means.
april: it means that you get to a certain age and then you're ready. you know, you're ready for kids or commitment or you know, a mortgage, you know what i mean? and the person that you are with then becomes the one.
will : so you're saying it's not who, it's when?
april: exactly.

video below is my second favorite scene, a wedding proposal:



will you, um, marry me?
definitely.. maybe. ;p
