The Naked Mind

by A Fine Frenzy You fingertips across my skin The palm trees swaying in the wind Images You sang me Spanish lullabies The sweetest sadness in your eyes Clever trick I never want to see you unhappy I thought you'd want the same for me Goodbye, my almost lover Goodbye, my hopeless dream I'm trying not to think about you Can't you just let me be? So long, my luckless romance My back is turned on you Should've known you'd bring me heartache Almost lovers always do We walked along a crowded street You took my hand and danced with me Images And when you left you kissed my lips You told me you would never let forget these images, no I never want to see you unhappy I thought you'd want the same for me Goodbye, my almost lover Goodbye, my hopeless dream I'm trying not to think about you Can't you just let me be? So long, my luckless romance My back is turned on you Should've known you'd bring me heartache Almost lovers always do I cannot go to the ocean ...

I slept yesterday with a heavy heart. I was crying silently with my body stiff in bed. I wanted to shout and scream till I get exhausted. But I didn't. I chose to just lay down and cry silently. I love him but I know he don't deserve someone like me. He would be happier with someone else. Letting go of him is hard, but I know it's the best for both of us, for the people that surround us. It's kind of ironic to let go of the most precious thing in your life but I did.. I just did, and so my heart cried and died..

Ang sama ng loob ko ngayon.... First late ko this month... Bwisit kase 'yang Makati Day na yan eh! Late ako ng 4 minutes. Pa'no ba naman, nilakad mo mula People Support hanggang Lepanto Buildin g sa Paseo.. Linshak! Haaayy... wala lang, naglabas lang ng inis sa blog . Pero masaya ko dahil sa wakas, Friday na! Yoohooo...... Hehehe.. Pauwi na ko. Bye!

Katatapos ko pa lang maligo nang maramdaman kong naiinitan na agad ako. Putek talaga! Napakainit ng panahon. Kawawa naman 'ung mga 'kanong nandito sa Pilipinas. Hindi sila sanay sa ganitong klima at panahon. Summer pa bang maituturing ito? Hinde.. Higit pa 'to sa summer. Para sa'ken, tila ang Pilipinas ay nasa loob ng isang malaking oven. Bine-bake tayong lahat. 'Ung iba piniprito. Deep fried. Haayy... Ano ba 'tong naiisip ko. Kasi naman ang init!! 'Eto na, palabas na ko ng bahay. Europe time ang pasok ko kaya 1:30 pm ang labas ko ng bahay. Good luck sa araw. At kahit nakapayong ako, tagus-tagusan pa rin and init. Kung ang buto ay natutunaw, balat na lang ako ngayon. Pati sa loob ng tricycle, mainit.. maalinsangan. Sa LRT, naku po! Andaming tao! Mainit na nga, mabaho pa! Siyempre good luck sa mga bagong ligo. Haaayy... Hihimatayin 'ata ako sa loob ng LRT. Pero walang magagawa, kailangan ko ng sumakay at baka ma-late pa ko. Shemai talaga! Whew! Grabe ang ...

I don't have much to say. I'm just an hour away from going home. Anyways, I would like to share with you a good quotation.

The speech below is long but a must-read for all Filipinos!!! Here is the speech that Mr. John Gokongwei delivered at the 20th AdCongress last November 21, 2007.. Before I begin, I want to say please bear with me, an 81-year-old man who just flew in from San Francisco 36 hours ago and is still suffering from jet lag. However, I hope I will be able to say what you want to hear… Ladies and gentlemen, good evening. Thank you very much for having me here tonight to open the Ad Congress. I know how important this event is for our marketing and advertising colleagues. My people get very excited and go into a panic, every other year, at this time. I would like to talk about my life, entrepreneurship, and globalization. I would like to talk about how we can become a great nation. You may wonder how one is connected to the other, but I promise that, as there is truth in advertising, the connection will come. Let me begin with a story I have told many times. My own. I was born to a rich Chinese-...
