sometimes...

it just hurts.

hurts like hell. 

hurts like there's no tomorrow. 

just pure ouch.

the color of life.

i have a friend who has the inability to percieve differences of the colors that others can distinguish. in other words he is color blind. When I first found out it was on one of our out of town trips that he called the color purple...blue. I really didn't think right away that he was having problems with his eyes. We just laughed about it until the time he thought the color pink was gray. He did admit that when he got his license he was told he was color blind. I became very curious about this that sometimes we would play student&teacher...i'd ask him to tell me what color is this and that...everything i could see around me i'd ask him what color it was. 

I am amazed and somehow sad. I just could not imagine someone or anyone not able to know/see what the color purple is like. The vibrant colors of pink, periwinkle, aquamarine, harlequin and many more. What if you can't see the difference between blue, blue-green, sky blue and aqua? I was startled and astounded by his situation that I started looking for articles about color bindness. I read in one article that you will be having a hard time distinguishing if it's a red or green apple.

So, typical me was feeling sorry for that person but I realized I shouldn't be. He's not even sad about it. He has this positive outlook about the whole thing. We could just laugh about it. I was thinking... How i wish my life was like that... not complicated and that you can just laugh about everything. For him life is colorful. 

Life is indeed colorful. Its not the the cute and wonderful colors you see but the people and the things that could shoo-away the dark cloud hovering your head. 

   

“The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes. If you foolishly ignore beauty, you will soon find yourself without it. Your life will be impoverished. But if you invest in beauty, it will remain with you all the days of your life.”
- Frank Lloyd Wright

haven't listened to this song for the longest time...

this is one of my favorites from Dashboard...i love this song up to now....

brings back good memories and the "kilig" feeling...

my heart skipped a beat when i listened to it this morning....heheh

Breathe in for luck,
breathe in so deep,
this air is blessed,
you share with me.
This night is wild,
so calm and dull,
these hearts they race,
from self control.
Your legs are smooth,
as they graze mine,
we're doing fine,
we're doing nothing at all.

My hopes are so high,
that your kiss might kill me.
So won't you kill me,
so I die happy.
My heart is yours to fill or burst,
to break or bury,
or wear as jewelery,
which ever you prefer.

The words are hushed lets not get busted;
just lay entwined here, undiscovered.
Safe in here from all the stupid questions.
"hey did you get some?"
Man, that is so dumb.
Stay quiet, stay near, stay close they can't hear...
so we can get some.

My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me.
So won't you kill me, so I die happy.
My heart is yours to fill or burst,
to break or bury, or wear as jewelery,
which ever you prefer.

Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember,
I'll always remember the sound of the stereo,
the dim of the soft lights,
the scent of your hair that you twirled in your fingers
and the time on the clock when we realized it's so late
this moment we share together
and the streets were wet
and the gate was locked so I jumped it,
and I let you in.
And you stood at your door with your hands on my waist
and you kissed me like you meant it.
And I knew that you meant it,
that you meant it,
that you meant it,
and I knew,
that you meant it,
that you meant it.

team redline goes to never never land!

Last week, the team together with our supervisor went for an overnight trip to Pataan Falls. (well, the overnight was just for them..i had to go back to Bacolod around 7pm) It's located somewhere in the south way of Negros. Sorry I'm not really good with directions. I even had my team mate drive my car up to the location. The good thing about the trip was that there was more than enough food, nice cottage and one nature lovin' trip. The falls were beautiful, the water was so cold and the view was mesmerizing. 

The worst part was driving back home. I was wasted. Totally wasted. I was drinking from the time we arrived. Some of us finished off the tequila before noon and i didn't stop. I had to drive the long road home and some of my team mates were with me. I had to straighten up and sober up...especially that we have a kid on board and a sick person who looks like he's about to die was in the front seat. I'm glad we reached our houses safe and sound. Phew! 

So far this was the best Team Building I've been to. Not that we get to have a lot of team buildings... but I had so much fun. If i look back during that time all i could remember clearly were the laughtrips and the punch lines. Ofcourse, when we all got back to work the following week... I was the topic! For being so wasted. For making them laugh and for the vomitting on the rough road of Ma-ao. good thing it wasn't caught on camera. It was one helluvah day!
