Transient Dreams

Let the light pierce through the darkness Close all old accounts, turn a new leaf Re-learn that old lesson of friendship Kill nor be killed, settle for lessening Amidst us of this fossilized hatred

Transient Dreams

glimpses of life… silence and chaos; laughter and tears…

Perhaps that time has not come yet when our, Gods would listen to the beats in our hearts, peace and happiness spread their glow, perhaps we would have to force Mother Time?.

Hanging By a Moment

“Desperate for changing / Starving for truth / I’m closer to where I started / I’m chasing after you / I’m falling even more in love with you / Letting go of all I’ve held onto / I’m standing here until you make me move / I’m hanging by a moment here with you…” ~Hanging By a Moment, Lifehouse

Just thought I’d blog before I went to bed — I’m having trouble sleeping. I think I messed up my biological clock / circadian rhythm when I started taking naps in the afternoon. Hmmn… It’s raining again and instead of listening to Edwin McCain or Christopher Cross like I usually do on nights like this, I lined up Everything but the Girl and Lifehouse (I know, odd combination) on my playlist. Tracey Thorn’s voice sort of reminds me of Annie Lennox.

When I start naming my entries after songs, you know something must be up. Ask me about a major event/stage in my life and I can usually pick out a song that reminds me of it. Some examples: HS Senior Year - it was “Passenger Seat” by Stephen Speaks, because my friend Marc played it on his guitar almost everyday; College Freshman Year - “Is There Something” by Christopher Cross, I was on an emotional rollercoaster; College Junior/Senior Year - “Lincoln Avenue” by Train, the place between what is and might have been. — Song association. It depends on my mood.

Or it may just be that I can’t think of a good title — every blogger’s nightmare. LOL.

Some random stuff:

For some reason, my internet connection is reaaally slow right now. I was connected via WiFi downstairs and had a pretty strong signal then I went back to my room, hooked up the LAN cable again and now it’s sooo slow. pfft. It’s probably just my router. Oh well.

I just received an emergency appeal from UNICEF (via email) for the Myanmar Cyclone Nargis fund. The last time they called (I think that was last year), I wasn’t able to send anything. A few days ago I was talking to my friend about helping out, joining a non-profit organization or something — he’s more of an environmentalist though so he’s leaning towards the WWF. I thought of joining HOM in 2006 but I didn’t have the resources — sadly, things haven’t changed in that aspect but I still want to help out. I just checked their website and they have an arts and crafts program for kids right here in Pasig City.

Well, I’ve sort of been working for my dad again — right now it’s mostly secretarial stuff. I type up documents, copyread, email his clients, etc. And we’ve talked about a multi-development project he might work on this year. If it pushes through, I’m going to have to learn from one of the architects who learned under him. I have no worries, we get along well because he’s an artist too — I just wonder if he’d have enough time to teach me. He and his girlfriend have their own company and they’re both really busy. Anyway, one of my dad’s consultation projects is almost done. I should get paid for that next week and hopefully, I’ll be able to send something to UNICEF then.

My sister wants to go out now that I’m legal. I don’t see the need for it because I don’t really drink. But I’ve made plans to go out with my cousin Benette on the 25th — no drinking, we’ll probably just go see a movie and do girl stuff. haha! We’re going to make the most of my birthday month - I got a lot of coupons/discounts/promos from stores this year. I love May! hehehe. It’s going to be fun!

Ahahaha! I’ve been messing up my sleep schedule because I’ve been taking sooo many naps too! Hehe. I actually can’t help taking naps! I’m too tired during the day! Haha.

Woah, that’s pretty crazy about picking a song for a major life event. It’s toooo hard for me to do that. Hehe.

Sorry to hear about your internet… =/ I hope it’s ok now, though!

Oh wow, good luck with that whole UNICEF thing… That’s pretty cool about working for your dad and that whole project, though!

Ahahaha about your sister wanting to go out since you’re legal! =P My sister would do the same thing! =P LOL, yep, and I don’t drink either. Ooh, but have fun with your cousin! You sound excited. Hehe.

Taking naps in the afternoon is really bad. You should try to take a really short nap if you need one.

I’m the same when it comes to songs. I can also think of a song for every period of time and all major happenings in my life. I guess that’s the way it is if you listen to music a lot.

I think joining a non profit organization sounds like a really good idea and a lot of fun. I’ve been thinking about that for years but there’s no such organization active in the small town where I live.

Typically, there is a song to match my mood, events and just how I feel in general. But yeah, it’s good to play a song, and then be able to relate it to something else. Sometimes, it brings memories though, not all of them being good. =[

That Lifehouse song has such incredible meaning for me. I was sort of taken aback when I noticed the lyrics at the beginning of your blog. *lol*

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with napping in the afternoon. As long as you keep them to under two hours, they shouldn’t interefere with your regular sleeping schedule.

I hate it when I’m unable to sleep too. It’s the worse thing ever. Hopefully you’re able to get back on a normal sleep cycle and I can completely relate about songs. I’m the same exact why!
