[2005]

If the last few days of the year 2005 has a theme for me, it's family and friends.

Christmas parties, gift giving and inuman sessions; the most I've ever spent for Xmas for as far as I can remember; spending for and organizing Xmas parties, giving away miniature mini-Coopers and Mp3 CDs like they were mugs. The best Noche Buena ever; the first time my family was complete for Christmas in almost 3 years - a blacksheep brother finally decides to spend Christmas with the family. And Birthday parties, post birthday party inuman sessions. I've never had more alcohol in my system in one season.

This Christmas...is the most I've ever spent time with my family and friends in my life. Ever. And I'm happy. Parang andami ko palang mahal sa buhay ^__^

Everyone, have a Happy New Year.

[curse my ignorance]

I recently discovered that "Love Song" is actually a The Cure original. I feel like an idiot, how could I not have known? Anyway... here's an acoustic version of the song. I just noticed.. I've been posting a lot of songs lately (and their downloadable too!). This isn't even legal but what the heck. I just want to share the love :D At para sa hindi nakakaalam ng lyrics (although I doubt that..):

love song
the cure

whenever i'm alone with you
you make me feel like i am home again
whenever i'm alone with you
you make me feel like i am whole again

whenever i'm alone with you
you make me feel like i am young again
whenever i'm alone with you
you make me feel like i am fun again

however far away
i will always love you
however long i stay
i will always love you
whatever words i say
i will always love you
i will always love you

whenever i'm alone with you
you make me feel like i am free again
whenever i'm alone with you
you make me feel like i am clean again

[the night's watch]

Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.

I've just started reading A Feast for Crows, the fourth book of A Song of Ice and Fire. Except for the part about taking no wife and fathering no children, the Night's Watch is the coolest faction in Westeros, aside from the Starks of Winterfell of course. By the way, was Googling around the net and found some interesting Ice and Fire pictures (Art by Jenny Dolfen, I am posting without permission): pictured here's the coolest most BADASS brother of the Night's Watch: Qhorin Halfhand. ..Kind of makes me want to make my own Ice and Fire character renditions, hmm..

I'll be coming to Baguio for Christmas, and since our Internet there has veen disconnected, and I probably won't have much money for the holidays, malamang hindi ako makakapagpost ng madalas, so to everyone out there: MERRY CHRISTMAS, and a HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Anyway, back to reading.

[more urbandub]

a new tattoo
urbandub

great moments they pass by
if you're careless
desperately trying to speak the words
i've been wanting to say for a long time.
tongue tied, every time i try to talk to you
in time, i'll find the right line.

caught a glimpse of you
i tremble every time you walk by
hopelessly trying to find a way
to be near you, to get near you.
in my mind, plays thoughts of you all the time
i'll find the right line

i'll bleed for you
like a new tattoo in my heart
you'll stay permanent

am i too late now?
will i find a way to get to you somehow?
she's breaking me down again
she's breaking me down.

This song, on the other hand, sort of applies. Listen. I remember posting the lyrics of this song as a test post when the blog was just starting out. I've always liked this song, especially now.

[post x'mas party]

So many things to say.. but I don't really have the energy right now. Masasabi ko lang, it was the best way to end the year.

Right now, I'm just feeling euphoric :)
