still awake

date: 22 april time: 0144 hrs

i got home from manila at 1030 last night. i'm sleepy, my back hurts, and i'm not even supposed to be surfing the net. thuuuuhhhhhhh.

should have been doing any of the following:

1. my application paper for tomorrow night's class (come to think of it, it's already today)
2. the assigned write-up on a friend for the high school yearbook (which is sooooo long overdue)
3. reading 3 of the 6 assigned chapters for class pa rin (i'm starting to hate this class)
4. sleeping. it's morning, for goodness' sake.

instead i'm posting another meaningless entry to my blog. buti na lang i'm on leave tomorrow.

guess i really could be the poster girl for procrastination.

well, just wanted to blow off some steam.

i'm going on

words. melodies. chords. instruments. thoughts.

all of these (and a lot more) make up a song.

yet you never know when a particular combination will appeal to you completely or drive you away.

at some point any sentimental song can be so thoroughly dissected for its meaning, and you try to see the connection to your own life.

but rarely does it happen that, word for word, a song has described your existence.

think tattooed on my mind. i do believe simone is my soul sister.

d'sound, people are people

i am the one who believes in all that you say
i am the one who never wants to define herself
i am the one who's parallel, upfront, behind
i am the one paddling like crazy through the night

refine, old time, colourblind
big sign, do time, doesn't rhyme
a lot, too much, standing tall
and i'm crying in the valley:
"i shall never, ever fall!"

people are people and i feel so strong
people are people and i'm going on

i am the one who stirs it up everytime
i am the one who never knows how close she is
i am the one who'd rather be dead than confess
i am the one, trying to be good, wanting to be bad and so on

excess, temptress, big mess
phoney, lonely, it's a test
be still my heart, don't you fail
and i'm crying on the stagefloor:
"i will always prevail!"

i'm going on...
