Sans Rival

Seriously, I wonder when Nudge is coming over. I hope this summer would be good. We have lot of catching up to do. Could the Nudge bring everyone else too?

A list of things I miss and/or look forward to

• Learning to navigate new spaces and cityscapes
• Some new musical endeavor, possibly formal training in ANYTHING
• Dancing without being made fun of; learning how to dance maybe?
• Learning how to cook more; starving heart hurts less on a full stomach
• LEARNING MORE ABOUT ACTUAL FASHION and possibly sewing stuff from scratch should time allow; an improvement in fashion sense maybe?
• Getting better at drawing stuff that looks like a five year old did it
• A full head of sex hair
• Summer class
• First semester
• Second semester
• Graduation
• MOVING TO FUCKING MANILA
• Decorating my next house/home/apartment
• GRADUATE SCHOOL. Hopefully La Salle since UP’s a bitch with its requirements for non-UP graduates.
• Spending time with friends again. It’s about time I got back to you guys and actually had some of that authentic non-internet bonding people yammer about all the time
• The rest of my life
• POSSIBLY falling in love
• Yes

With short glances to the side, we blossom in full return

Starting next week, You Mean The World To Me and I Don't Want To Miss You Anymore will return to full form. I might even make a 'zine out of this if I could compile enough material. Caitlyn Bailey will be on a short break for the greater part of the summer and Love in Athens will be writing its first EP. A lot more in store for everyone, let's all blame the summer heat.

I'm still not over you. This journal is back.

Love in Athens- Resonance

Resonance

You're so quick to fall in love and I'm put off by the sight of you. Next time you're here, don't call me up because I'll never feel the same way you do. So this is goodbye. Don't sleep to dream of me, sleep because you need to sleep. From time to time, I'll think of you but that's the most you'll get from me tonight. Even if it never comes to mind, it's not that I've forgotten you. It's just not worth all the sleepless nights that my sheets would have gone through without you here.

I was so quick to fall in love. Now, I'm put off by the sight of you. Next time you're here, don't call me up because I'll never feel the same way you do. At least not again.

Formspring, in response

Nandito ka ba sa Manila ngayon, Francis Maria? Nagtatanong, ikay

Nope, I'll be back between the end of this semester and summer enrollment tho. See you?

what does a guy mean when he says, "i have to know you more to know you?"

I'm really bad at this. When I say something like that, I'm trying my best to be polite especially since I usually use it on people I have no interest in talking to. That's just me though, don't take my word for it. I have the tendency to grossly misinterpret very neutral messages.

we should start a church or something an atheist church people who are godless parang yung "theliveoutloudyouth"

Hail Satan. Cool guys tho, beliefs just don't mix well with em. They're really nice to kids at shows, real polite too but yeah. Let's do some sort of super heathen nice guy cult. That would be awesome.

why can't you stay longer? :< -little sister

I'll stay longer next time I drop by. I sort of have it set in my mind that someone's going to end up stealing my bed when I'm there. I'd like that to be you instead of anyone else. Haha

bebenta mo ba sakin ang pagkagandagdan mong bss guitar pag naisipan mo na siyang ibenta? :D

I have a lot of gripes about my SG but I love her nonetheless. I don't think I'd be giving her up. It's theeee first bass I ever really bought and I sort of get the feeling she'll come in handy somewhere down the road of life in a band. It's the sentimental part of me that never wants to let her go. I don't know what the practical part of me has to say in a few years' time.

How would you expand the equation to the meaning of life, which is answered by the number 49?

I could but I'm a humanist and I'm bad at math. :)) HAHA

would you ride a moped?

FUCK YEAH I'D RIDE A MOPED.

What's the first thing you'd buy with Php5,000? by jaddieloo

Food and some odds and ends for my room, I suppose. Probably some clothes if I can.

what do you think of secret jesus bible codes on U.S. military weapons?

Hail Satan!

what do you think of the god loving christian hardcore bands here in davao? sa totoo lang parang gusto ko sumuka!

I have no qualms with people who subscribe to faith although I'm not without my biases. I just don't lean towards that so if they do, that's none of my business. I just dislike it tremendously when they occasionally come forward with the notion that their views are the only valid/correct views. I always thought that hardcore was about diversity but that won't spare you from looking like a dick when you're pushy. Musically, a lot of these christian bands are pretty boring. No energy whatsoever and I am in no way driven when I listen to or see them live. Save for A Liturgy, Mired or at least that one song they (or just Jaydee) have/has on myspace. Jaydee's legit.

what drives you crazy?

Living drives me crazy but that's a good thing. That dynamism between stability and the urge to go take the plunge when you're teetering over the edge does hold some weight when looking back at the finer points of life.

My work ethics disgust me

I am never doing this again. I'll pass everything I need to and this will never happen again. I can't afford to have things this way. God fucking dammit.

Camera Obscura- You Told A Lie

Camera Obscura- You Told A Lie

If you were a season you would be in bloom. I wish I had good reason to see you soon. There's no need to convince me that you're a catch. I bought my ticket I'm sold at last. Who was it that said that love conquers all? He was a fool 'cause it doesn't at all. Should I believe you told a lie? On the way to my heart and on the way back.

Are my eyes the coldest blue? You said once this was true. If it is I don't know what I'll do 'cause I'm stuck with them and they're stuck on you.

Was I a quiet little nothing who never challenged anyone or was I a lazy lazy snake? Do you want me to be a gentle diplomat or you can beg and you can plead.

Are my eyes the coldest blue? You said once this was true and if it is I don't know what I'll do 'cause I'm stuck with them and they're stuck on you.

Love in retroactive continuity

Love in retroactive continuity

The view from this lonesome window hasn't changed much since you left. With the carousels of daylight seeing to every inch of this surrealistic permanence, it lingers on, untouched by all but the thinnest strands of borrowed time; beautifully still and endlessly so. I've been keeping the doors cracked in hopes of seeing you again, if only to watch you pass by from behind the gaze of distant horizons. With the turning of battered clock hands comes a summer that never ends, a summer that harbors no regrets and a summer who in her days will make no amends. As timeless as you are unapologetic, you are the sun that never sets.

Months in and I start waking up early in the morning

No, not if I can help it.

...and the cat turned to smoke

Yes folks, I'm back. I'm trying to get things into order and no, there will be no Orchid-related content despite the direct reference to one of my favorite Orchid songs. Instead, I shall post a Backstreet Boys video in lieu of all of the punk rock and indie related music I've been subscribing to as of late. I missed writing. Might as well get back on track and save a little face for this semester.
