ben-Instrumental - michael jackson

Ben, youre always running here and there
You feel youre not wanted anywhere
If you ever look behind
And dont like what you find
Theres something you should know
You've got a place to go

Who doesn't know Michael Jackson? probably not a single soul. I remember how I am so amazed with his videos, from Thriller, Remember the Time and Scream, and that very long music video he did last.

I remember how I'll play his records (the old school vinyl) in our massive phonograph.
I remember how I, only in the first grade then, watched MJ's documentary even if its way past my bedtime.
I remember how I used to wear stiff shoes like his and "bitin" pants...(ok that was uncalled for...)
and despite the intrigues and the changes...we still love him deep deep down...

I remember how I wanted to be just like MJ...don't we all at some point?

The feeling is NEUTRAL

from Jobstreet's Employee Confidence Index




This Month: 56.61
(0 = Very Poor & 100 = Very Good)


What Is "JobStreet Employee Confidence Index"?
JobStreet Employee Confidence Index is a measure of employee's confidence in the job market. It ranges from zero (very poor) to 100 (very good). A low index shows a tough job market where many people find it difficult to find a job. A high index shows a comfortable job market where many people are able to secure a good job. The index fluctuates with time -- its trend is an important indication to the production and economic development of the nation.

Losing their touch

The problem with a restaurant's success story is how it can sustain its quality...the worst thing is if a restaurant is not ready to duplicate its original appeal.

Last night's testament to that was A Veneto. A Veneto started in Visayas Avenue, I being a QC resident before admits that I don't really notice the place.

The only time I ever tasted an A Veneto food was when it branched out in Trinoma.

The food was ok, until last night.

The menus were dilapidated, the waiters were dancing to a pop song while in the dining area. I felt like Gordon Ramsey without the authority.

For starters: A Veneto sampler


The chicken was bad. the fries was so so. The dips were something else.

Pizza:


tasted like the topping was corned beef.


The pasta was ok.

I just feel so bad coz I love Italian food.

Colorgenics

Amazing how your choice of color says a lot about how you feel and think.

I wish people are more like colors. haha

You are constantly hoping that your good fellowship and attitude and your 'love for your fellow man (or women)' will give you peace of mind. You need people - people around you to care for you and to show you that they care. It is this hope that keeps you going, the hope that makes you the type of person that indeed you are. Your own need for approval seemingly makes you always ready to help others and in exchange you seek love, warmth and understanding. You will always listen to others and you are open to new ideas which hopefully will prove fruitful and interesting.

You are working extremely hard trying to improve your image in the eyes of others. You are looking for acknowledgement from your peers and those who come into your sphere of influence. You want to be liked, not for what people think of you but for what you really are.

At times all of us would like to be like the ostrich - to be able to bury our heads in the sand and let the rest of the world go by, but unfortunately you can't do just that - you have to face up to reality. A little peace and quiet would be most acceptable at this time but if only one could turn a blind eye to the problems of the day! Tomorrow is another day and who knows, it could be 'today' (not tomorrow) that could be the first day of the rest of your life!

You are an emotional, sincere and impressionable individual experiencing frustration and unnecessary stress. You vehemently resist any form of pressure from outside sources, insisting on your independence as an individual. You want to be a decision maker - to make up your own mind without interference. You wish to be able to draw your own conclusions and arrive at your own decisions. You detest uniformity and mediocrity as you want to be regarded as one who gives authoritative opinions. Your favourite expression could well be that 'I may not always be right but I am never wrong'. You're a perfectionist and even though you may feel that the other person's point of view may be right, you find it extremely difficult to admit that you could be wrong.

You feel that you need to move on. You feel that you are not appreciated or valued for what you are and that the time is 'now'. Failure to do so will not afford you the conditions to prove your worth.

Pateros

After our "hunt" got us to Pateros, my dad and I decided to check out Dos Hermanas which we saw in Travel and Living Asia to make the most out of our first visit.

We were kinda confused since there was no one eating when we got there...thankfully, the food was good.


Calderetang Itik - P100



Pancit Bihon - P125

The guy there said that the servings of their food are for two's so that's a plus as well...

If you are courageous enough do try the balut varieties (fried, adobo, etc...). Apparently we are not so Andrew Zimmern... :D

Minutes to change

The Coelho Way

I miss painting... but I still have matters to attend to...

Excited for the new baby in our family soon... this month or next month...another gwapito in the family.

And like buttered rice, I still can't turn away from writing... :D

Been getting in touch with high school memories the past week...it was rejuvenating to talk to people you haven't talked to for a long time... :D

had a mini reunion at BBB yesterday for my tita's birthday.


Our house hasn't been packed like that since a Christmas from way back.Fun!

little memories

filling the void of my non-active existence

From Where You Are - Lighthouse
http://www.imeem.com/people/f8ciJu-/music/lovbvBFn/lifehouse-from-where-you-are/?rel=1
So far away from where you are
These miles have torn us worlds apart
And I miss you
Yeah, I miss you
So far away from where you are
Standing underneath the stars
And I wish you were here

I miss the years that were erased
I miss the way the sunshine would light up your face
I miss all the little things I never thought that they’d mean everything to me
Yeah, I miss you
And I wish you were here

I feel the beating of your heart
I see the shadows of your face
Just know that wherever you are
Yeah, I miss you
And I wish you were here

I miss the years that were erased
I miss the way the sunshine would light up your face
I miss all the little things
I never thought that they’d mean everything to me
Yeah, I miss you
And I wish you were here

So far away from where you are
These miles have torn us worlds apart
And I miss you
Yeah, I miss you
And I wish you were here

Sunrays and Saturdays

Just ended an overnight shindig with my friend. We are helping her cousin build a Multiply site for her products so we had to do a product shoot. Will post the link next time if its finished na. (designer bags overload...)

Anyhooo..

finally booked a flight to Bicol thanks to the credit card powers of a friend and Sun Cellular (I finally managed to turn off my 20-second limit calls setting).

I finally took my heart medicine after my medical student friend assured me that the drug prescribed to me will make my blood flow much more normal.

I also have to share a friend's post in Facebook...so cheesy, I almost died.


Because I was too much of a coward, too scared, too cautious, you don't really know anything. And because I couldn't tell you then, I'd just say it now thru a song (cheezy I know but what to do?!). I'd sing it to you but there's no way. If you'd take the time to listen to it, great, I'm guessing you'll appreciate it more.. If not, it's fine the words are enough I guess, they pretty much sum up all these bottled feelings.. Everything in me tells me it's a wrong idea.. What the hell for?! But I realized I never really did something about it before, never told you how much I cared.. So this is it..I'm tellin you while my hands are shaking and with cold feet.. No hopes, no expectations on my end, just couldn't live with myself knowing I could have done something but didn't.. I don't care if you'll ever get to read it or if you'll just shrug it off, but it'll surely free me knowing that it's already out there and out of my hands.. And starting now, consider it forever gone..

It's heart-breaking, bittersweet, whatever you'd like to call it. I can think of many other songs for you but currently, this is the one most fitting.. Now I can start working on my own happy ending coz I've gone to accept you have yours now and I couldn't be happier for you (no really I am :D see? I'm grinning from ear-to-ear lol)!!

So, for ONCE (may I repeat, this is the first and only time I've done somethin as stupid as this =D) in my life, If I may, allow me to be bold.. READ ON!

P.S. Pls read till the end :)


Open the window
Let the sunset in
If only for the last time
Let me see you smile again

I'll take my records
You can have your books
I'm sorry I never read them
But it says so much about us

Always trying
To make love out of care
The perfect recipe
But something wasn't there

Sunrays and Saturdays
Perfect starry nights
Sweet dreams and moonbeams
And a love that's warm and bright
Sunrays and Saturdays
Friendship strong and true
Oceans of blue and a room with a view
To live the life you choose

You'll write me letters
I'll call you on the phone
A wire away from touching
And never quite alone

We'll get to know ourselves again
And we'll heal our hearts
It's not that we're bad together
We're just better off apart

Always trying
To have one and one make two
And even though it never worked
I still feel love for you

the key

I remembered something I read or watched.. that being ready is not necessarily based on a person who's with you..but rather... with the idea that you are in the right moment to be ready... :D

Di tumitigil

kahit anong mangyari:

maliligo pa din ako sa ulan
manonood pa din ako ng sine
magtatampisaw sa mga dagat
papangarapin ko pa ding pumunta sa Italy
kakain pa din ako ng mami sa Binondo
magphophoto shoot pa din ako sa Diliman
magiipon pa din ako ng pang-date
magfoforward ng cheesy messages
magaassign ng theme song sa iba't ibang pangyayari sa buhay ko
mag oout of the country trip
makikihalubilo sa mga kilalang tao
susulat pa din ako
magmamahal at iiyak
kikiligin sa mga matatamis na salita
titingin sa mata ng isang tao.. na tagos hanggang buto...
magkakarting at Laser Tag

at kung ano ano pang mga bagay

kahit anong mangyari...
gagawin ko pa din lahat ng yan
kahit mawala ka...kahit bumalik ka...

dahil hindi dapat tumigil ang mundo
