"Wake Me Up When September Ends"

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

like my fathers come to pass
seven years has gone so fast
wake me up when september ends

here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are

as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when september ends

summer has come and passed
the innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

ring out the bells againlike we did when spring began
wake me up when september ends

| the day when he is so makulit *conio* |


"A girl asked a guy if he thought she
was pretty,
he said...no. She asked him if he would want to
be with her forever....and he said no.

She then asked him if she were to leave would
he
cry, and once again he replied with a no.
She had heard enough.

As she walked away, tears streaming down her
face,
the boy grabbed her arm and said....

You're not pretty, you're beautiful.
I dont want to be with you forever. I NEED to be
with you forever. And I wouldnt cry if you
walked
away...I'd die..."

so sweet

lately, i've been fascinated by classic books written in old English and usually narrated by little children. i just finished the prince and the pauper and i was much awed by the story. and right now, im reading the little prince and oliver twist. i love 'em.

scripts

i dont know why, but no matter how i prevent it, i always find myself looking dumbly on a window where array, static, and if_else are. i mean, i despise programming, that i admit. but no matter how hard i convince myself that i'd rather be something else, i always end up... doing codes and debugging. hmmm.... talk about unpredictability right? but you know what makes it so different this time? i'm actually enjoying what im doing. and id be happy to keep on, if needed. hehehe... mabel would be happy to hear this. she havent forgiven the guy who made me promise myself that i would never ever be a software developer.btw, im still a qa person doing automated scripts.

| the day with strawberry belgian waffle, *yummy* |



to start with, lately i feel as if im being rather talkative whenever i'm around my friends. i came to realize, i never ran out of anecdotes and stories about anything under the sun and i dont think i stop talking. weird, because to almost everyone else, im really the quiete-and-shy type of person. with that in mind, i thought of writing down other things that is not so obvious to most of the people around me. heregoes:

10 things you dont know about me

1. i have a serious bout of inferiority complex. i lack self confidence. i dont really believe in myself. believe that? its true.

2. my most prized corporate possession is an orange little frog that rests on top of every pc (at work) that i had used. this little fella, "froggy", for lack of any other name i could associate with it serves as my sidekick for every job that i had so far.

3. i'm musically ignorant coz im a passive listener. i dont know usher or beyonce. i dont care about their music. i wont even recognize them on the television. much more would i know any of their songs. all this because i just listen to whatever comes my way.to me listening is different from most people i know.in my case, music is something that just comes and then go into thin air. that means that i dont remember the title or the artist or the album or anything about most of the song i "encounter". i just listen to them, ask me the chorus or any part of the lyrics after a minute or so and i tell you, i wont be able to remember. that's how hopeless i am when it comes to music.

4. i find it hard to throw away my trash. i am the kind of person who keeps the smallest peice of paper that i had used on my bag instead of throwing them in the bin. my wallet is usually full with old receipts, old pictures, old atm cards that i can not seem to get rid of. my inbox is full of year old messages that i can not delete unless maybe if i'll close my eyes. my local drives are full of back up files that would stay there unless when windows force me to delete some. my notebooks are full of pages with useless doodles and wasted space that will never be torn.

5. i have this thing with the phonebook entries on my cell phone. i keep a standard on how the contact name should appear and i have a tendency to check the records repeatedly fearing that one entry may violate my sacred rules. what do i get from that stupid habit? nothing. but i do it nonetheless.

6. i like blog hopping. and reading other people's personal messages, comments, thoughts and the works. for me it is a way to really get to know a person. it's impossible to know what's going on in another person's mind at a given time. so even a glimpse of that, i would appreciate.

7. i'm a self confessed morning rush addict. yep, its kinda jologs. but listening to dell and chico's top ten something's every single day usually brings a big grin on my face on my way to work in the morning. and that in the middle of ayala morning traffic jam is really something, dont you think?

8. whenever someone (usually my close friends and relatives) are leaving for another country, i ask for a mickey mouse key chain for pasalubong. and i always look forward for it when they come back. i has become a habbit. :)

9. i like to write. i'd like to think that i have a knack for writing feature articles. and i have developed this irritating habbit of being gramatically conscious. lately, i always find myself checking the grammar of everything i happen to be reading. would you believe that i even noted that upon checking harry potter and the halfblood prince has 9 typographical errors in it? hahaha, geeky, ryt? anyway, i like writing stuff out of my head.

10. i dont want people calling me gracia (paging marco and aby). i hate it. i prefer to be called grace, grays or gracie would be even better (mas malambing). and whenever i have to write my name on paper... i would never ever be caught writing "grace dela Peña" - clearly, that's somebody else like a news caster on ch7. it should always be "maria grace dela peña". and definitely, i wont forgive anyone who will call me maria grace. be it written or spoken. i just care so much about how people name me that i think it's hilarious.

i love parokya ni edgar...
yeah! hail to the pambansang banda ng pilipinas. I've been listening to their new album "halina sa parokya" all day. I specifically like the songs "Para sayo" and "gitara". here's the lyrics.

Para Sayo
“lumayo ka na sa akin, wag mo kong kausapin.
Parang awa mo na wag kang magpapaakit sa kin.
Ayoko lang masaktan ka.Malakas akong mambola…
Hindi ako santo. Pero para sayo
Akoy magbabago. Kahit mahirap
Kakayanin ko. Dahil para sa yo.
Handa akong magpakatino. Lagging isipin
Lahat ay gagawin. Basta para sa yo.

Hindi ikaw yung tipong niloloko
At hihndi naman ako yung tipong nagseseryoso
At kahit sulit sana sa yo ang kasalanan
Lolokohin lang kita.
Kaya kung pwede wag na lang

Dahil ayoko ngang masaktan ka
Wag kang maniniwala
Hindi ako santo
Pero para sayo
Akoy magbabago
Kahit mahirap, kakayanin ko
Bastat para say o…
Handa kong magpakatino
Lagging isipin, lahat ay gagawin.
Basta para sayo…

Bakit nakikinig ka pa
Matatapos na ang kanta
Pinapatakas na kita
Mula sa unang istansa
Hindi ka ba natatakot baka ikay masangkot sa mga kasalanan ko
Pero para say o.
Akoy magbabago.
Kahit mahirap ay kakayanin ko.
Dahil para say o.
Ako’y magbabago
Kahit mahirap ay kakayanin ko.
Dahil para sayo handa akong magpakatino.
Laging isipin lahat ay gagawin basta’t para sayo."
