Nocturne, SC

September 13, 2007

Laid my head on the pillow
Watched the night go by
Watched the checkered pillowcases come alive
Silence croons me slowly
And I wonder how you are
Are you sleeping soundly?
You don't quite feel as far

Saw your name written on the ceiling
Not sure if I'm still dreaming of you
I've seen you in my sleep

From across the room the clock leers
As I try to sleep again
I would rather shorten the night
Than lengthen the day

In sleep we lose our voices

I would rather spend it dreaming of you

Saw your name written on the ceiling
Not sure if I'm still dreaming of you
I've seen you in my sleep

Saw your name written on the ceiling
Not sure if I'm still dreaming of you
I've seen you in my sleep

Saw your name written on the ceiling
Not sure if I'm still dreaming of you
I've seen you in my sleep

Saw your name written on the ceiling
Not sure if I'm still dreaming of you
I've seen you in my sleep

Saw your name written on the ceiling
Not sure if I'm still dreaming of you
I've seen you in my sleep

I've seen you in my sleep

I've seen you in my sleep

I've seen you in my sleep

i wish i could feel

September 11, 2007

I heard about a friend's heart problem and I almost immediately felt envious.

At this day and age when it's easier to make something out of doubt than of faith, I say my friend is lucky that he feels what he feels- - - whether if his feelings remain unreciprocated or unrewarded or unappreciated shouldn't matter - - - the mere fact that, that feeling came and there's an actual person behind it, and it lasted long enough for his heart to ache are altogether a gift that I could only write about from imagination (or maybe from lack of it).

I'd rather feel my heart break, than wonder if it's still there, capable of feeling.

I don't think the butterflies will ever come.

sugar rush

September 2, 2007

I love to eat and my favorites usually fall under the dessert category. It doesn't matter if I am eating at a fancy restaurant or a convenient jollyjeep, i'd always check what the available desserts are. Whenever i read a menu, i tend to overthink the dessert list (hmmm…) even if I know I won't be having any because of time/budget constraints, i would always bother to look at those yummy, mouth watering pictures inscripted with words like indulge, sinfully sweet and whipped whatnot.

Several Saturdays ago, my friends from faca and I checked out the serendra mall at the fort. It was really fun, we got to raid 4 storeys of Fully Booked (grabe book haven), dine at a hawaiian polynesian grill called Polukai (dito ko lang nagustuhan ang spare ribs at hindi pa ganun kamahal) and strolled the vicinity like first timers would (pangdate ang ambiance pero kahit walang dictionary date ok pa rin naman *wink* ). However, i have to say, and i think my friends would agree that the highlight of the night was when we feast over a box of cupcakes.

I don't think i can ever describe how these heavenly goods taste in words, so I might as well let pictures do the telling ;)
