My journal intime. A chronicling of my insanity and evanescent thoughts . Putting a modicum of order, a palpable structure if you would, in my otherwise chaos-ridden existence. Baring my soul, spilling my guts, sharing my dreams.

Clockwatching by Jason Mraz
Take off both your shoes and clothes I’ll follow
Undo corkscrew drink from the half of a broken bottle
Lately we’re running out of time aren’t we
Smoking often and calling out our guilty pleasures
Let’s keep talking anything to stop clockwatching
Lately we’re running out of time aren’t we
Crazy for running all the time?
M-M-M-Maybe
Let’s forget we’re running out of time
I’m off like an aeroplane
I’m licking your postage stamp again
I’m using my right brain and I’m praying that we don’t crash
Who knew I’d come so fast?
So what if a two-pump chump can’t last
But I made it to three and I foreclosed a five-minute fantasy
On a short-lived flight making love on economy
No jumping conclusions
I don’t think there’s no solution
Let’s get backwards and forget our restless destination
Let’s live in the moment just this time could we?
Just take one moment of our time
M-M-M-maybe
Let’s forget we’re running out of time
I’m off like an aeroplane
I’m catching my second wind again
I’m using my left brain and I’m righting all my wrongs
I’m yearning to turn you on
I’ve been working on getting you off so get on board
But how can I guess by the subject of the best predicate is left unsaid
When the matter is too delicate my loneliness is evident
And it’s you
You’re running through my mind
And it makes me crazy, crazy, crazy
la la la la la
la la la la la (oh so amazing)
la la la la la
la la la la la
laaaaa
Lady dreamer you might be the soundest sleeper
tonight sleep tight and build your nest upon my shoulder

When It Rains by Paramore
And when it rains on this side of town
It touches everything
Just say it again and mean it
We don't miss a thing
You made yourself a bed at the bottom
of the blackest hole (blackest hole)
and convinced yourself
that it's not the reason you don't see the sun anymore
And no, oh how could you do it
Oh, I, I never saw it coming
No, oh, I need an ending
So why can't you stay
Just long enough to explain
And when it rains
You always find an escape
Just running away
From all of the ones who love you
From everything
You made yourself a bed at the bottom
Of the blackest hole (blackest hole)
And you'll sleep 'til May
You'll say that you don't want to see the sun anymore
And no, oh how could you do it
Oh, I, I never saw it coming
No, oh, I need an ending
So why can't you stay
Just long enough to explain
Explain your side, take my side
Take these chances to turn it around
Take these chances we'll make it somehow
And take these chances and turn it around
Just turn it around.
And no, oh how could you do it
Oh, I, I never saw it coming
No, oh, how could you do it
Oh, I, I never saw it coming
No, oh, how could you do it
Oh, I, I never saw it coming and
No, oh, I need an ending
So why can't you stay
Just long enough to explain
You can take your time, take my time.

One Last Breath by Creed
Please come now I think I'm falling
I'm holding on to all I think is safe
It seems I found the road to nowhere
And I'm trying to escape
I yelled back when I heard thunder
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain't so far down
I'm looking down now that it's over
Reflecting on all of my mistakes
I thought I found the road to somewhere
Somewhere in His grace
I cried out heaven save me
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain't so far down
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain't so far down
I'm so far down
Sad eyes follow me
But I still believe there's something left for me
So please come stay with me
'Cause I still believe there's something left for you and me
For you and me
For you and me
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain't so far down
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain't so far down
Please come now I think I'm falling
I'm holding on to all I think is safe

Falls Apart by Sugar Ray
She falls apart, by herself
No one's there to talk or understand
Feels sustained, dries her eyes
Finds herself, opens the door inside
People see right through you
Everyone who knew you well
Falls apart, might as well
Day is long and nothing is wasteful
Runaway runaway
Hold, hold you but your going away
Runaway runaway
Hold (Want) you tomorrow but your leaving today
You walk along by yourself
There's no sound, nothing is changing
Been gone away, left you there
Emptiness is nothing you can't share
All those words that hurt you
More than you would let it show
Comes apart, by yourself
All is well and everything is wasted
Runaway runaway
Hold (Want) hold you but your going away
Runaway runaway
Hold (Want) you tomorrow but your leaving today
Sometimes we'll feel around
And this dance instead can't be down
All the sound of me on my own
Any sound of me again
it's time away surround around a friend
I know where I know where no where to runaway
She falls apart, no one there
Hold her hand, it seems to disappear
Falls apart, might as well
Day is long and nothing is wasted
Runaway runaway
Hold (Want) hold you but your going away
Runaway runaway
Hold (Want) you tomorrow but your leaving today
Runaway runaway
Hold (Want) hold you (Want) but your going away
But your leaving today, but your leaving today

At Your Side by The Corrs
When the daylight's gone
and you're on your own
And you need a friend
just to be around
I will comfort you,
I will take your hand
And I'll pull you through,
I will understand
And you know that
I'll be at your side,
there's no need to worry
Together we'll survive,
through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side
When you feel like you're alone,
or you've nowhere to turn
I'll be at your side
If life's standing still,
and your soul's confused
And you cannot find,
what road to choose
If you make mistakes (make mistakes..)
You won't let me down (let me down..)
I will still believe (still believe..)
I will turn around
And you know that
I'll be at your side,
there's no need to worry
Together we'll survive,
through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side
If you feel like you're alone,
and you've nowhere to turn
I'll be at your side (I'll be at... I'll be at your side)
I'll be at your side (I'll be at... I'll be at your side)
I'll be at your side
I'll be at your side,
there's no need to worry
Together we'll survive,
through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side
If you feel like you're alone (feel like..)
you've got somewhere to go (somewhere to go..)
'Cause I'm at your side, yeah
I'm right at your side (I'll be right there for you)
Yeah, I'll be right there (I'll be right there for you)

I'll be right there (I'll be right there for you)

Jealous by Nina
Jealous of the girl who caught your eye
One of my darker days
When you looked at her where was I
Should have been in her place
Here I am all alone imagining
What might have been
What could have been
If I have been there
Jealous of the one whose arms are around you
If she's keeping you satisfied
Jealous of the one who finally found you
Made your sun and your stars collide
Lalalalalala, she's a very very lucky girl
Lalalalalala
Jealous of the girl who won your heart
They say it's a perfect match
She's gonna get to be where you are
And it don't get better than that
She'll say your fine
Whisper words I wish were mine
What might have been
What could have been
If I have been there
Jealous of the one whose arms are around you
If she's keeping you satisfied
Jealous of the one who finally found you
Made your sun and your stars collide
Lalalalalala, she's a very very lucky girl
Lalalalalala
And you know I'd fight the good fight
If I thought I'd change your mind
But if she makes you happy
Then I'll leave the dream behind
Man, she better treat you right
And give you everything
'Cause the moment that she doesn't
I'll be waiting in the wings
Jealous of the one whose arms are around you
If she's keeping you satisfied
Jealous of the one who finally found you
Made your sun and your stars collide
Lalalalalala, she's a very very lucky girl
Lalalalalala
Jealous of the one whose arms are around you
If she's keeping you satisfied
Jealous of the one who finally found you
Made your sun and your stars collide
Lalalalalala, she's a very very lucky girl
Lalalalalala
Jealous of the one whose arms are around you
If she's keeping you satisfied
Jealous of the one who finally found you
Made your sun and your stars collide

Breaking The Habit by Linkin Park
Memories consume
like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
unless I try to start again
I don't want to be the one
the battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
that I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
and say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
so I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
tonight
Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
than anytime before
I had no options left again
I don't want to be the one
the battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
that I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
so I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
tonight
I'll paint it on the walls
'cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
and this is how it ends
I don't know what's worth fighting for
or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
to show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
tonight.

What Can I Do by The Corrs
I haven't slept at all in days
It's been so long since we've talked
And I have been here many times
I just don't know what I'm doing wrong
What can I do to make you love me
What can I do to make you care
What can I say to make you feel this
What can I do to get you there
There's only so much I can take
And I just got to let it go
And who knows I might feel better, yeah
If I don't try and I don't hope
What can I do to make you love me
What can I do to make you care
What can I say to make you feel this
What can I do to get you there
No more waiting, no more, aching...
No more fighting, no more, trying...
Maybe there's nothing more to say
And in a funny way I'm calm
Because the power is not mine
I'm just going to let it fly
What can I do to make you love me
(What can I do to make you love me)
What can I do to make you care
(What can I do to make you care)
What can I say to make you feel this
(What can I do to make you love me)
What can I do to get you there
(What can I do to make you care)
What can I do to make you love me
(What can I do to make you love me)
What can I do to make you care
(What can I do to make you care)
What can I change to make you feel this
(What can I do to make you love me)
What can I do to get you there
(What can I do to make you care)
And love me... love me...
Love me... love me...
Love me... love me...
Love me... love me...
Love me... love me...
Love me... love me...

Perfect Day by Hoku
Sun's up
A little after twelve
make breakfast for myself
leave the work for someone else
People say
they say that it's just a phase
they tell me to act my age,
well I am
On this perfect day,
nothing's standing in my way
On this perfect day,
when nothing can go wrong
It's the perfect day,
tomorrow's gonna come too soon
I could stay,
forever as I am
On this perfect day
Sun's down
a little after ten
I pick up all my friends
in my Mercedes-Benz
Wake up
don't tell me it's just a dream
'Cause when I've had enough
you'll hear me say,
now don't you try to rain on my
Perfect day,
nothing's standing in my way
On this perfect day,
nothing can go wrong
It's the perfect day,
tomorrow's gonna come too soon
I could stay,
forever as I am
on this perfect day
La la la
La la la
La la la
La la
I'm in the race
but I've already won
(La la la)
And getting there can
be half the fun
(La la la)
So don't stop me
'til I'm good and done,
don't you try to rain on my
Perfect day
It's the perfect day
It's the perfect day
Nothing's gonna bring me down
I could stay,
forever as I am
On this perfect day
Nothing's standing in my way
On this perfect day,
nothing can go wrong
I'm in the race
but I've already won
And getting there can
be half the fun,
So don't stop me
'til I'm good and done,
don't you try to rain on my
Perfect day

Forget About Me by Lil Bit
Hmm...
Whoaaa oohhh whoa oohhh
Yeah
You said it wasn't
gonna be like it was before
Then it happened again,
pushing me back out the door
Thought it would be for real this time
Love me forget about the signs
So now what do I do,
now that I know that we're through
Wish that I could move on
can't let go, it's too strong
Just like that and then you're gone
Is this how you wanted it to be
Everything you had to say
sent the tears right down my face
Now I'm trying to escape
the misery
Why don't you love me
the way I loved you
It feels so crazy
'cause I dunno what I did to you
If you're gonna hurt me
then do it quickly
’cause I'm tired of cryin’
If you don't wanna stick around
then, baby, forget about me
Too late, sorry
I didn't even had the chance
You said you were happy
baby, I don't understand
Gave you everything you asked for
and was ready to give you a lot more
I would've given you the world
right in the palm of your hand
Wish that I could move on
can't let go, it's too strong
Just like that and then you're gone
Was this how you wanted it to be
Everything you had to say
sent the tears right down my face
Now I'm trying to escape
the misery
Why don't you love me
the way I loved you
It feels so crazy
’cause I dunno what I did to you
If you're gonna hurt me
then do it quickly
’cause I'm tired of cryin’
If you don't wanna stick around
then, baby, forget about me
Boy, my heart was true
and that you can't deny
Don't be a fool
and walk away from all the lies
It's up to you
’cause heaven knows I've tried
Tell me you're still in love
yeah yeah ohh
Why don't you love me
the way I loved you
It feels so crazy
'cause I dunno what I did to you
If you're gonna hurt me
then do it quickly
’cause I'm tired of cryin’
If you don't wanna stick around
then, baby, forget about me
forget about me...
...I really loved you.

Animal Instinct by The Cranberries
Suddenly something has happened to me
as I was having my cup of tea
Suddenly I was feeling depressed
I was utterly and totally stressed
Do you know you made me cry
Do you know you made me die
And the thing that gets to me
is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
is I'll always be in doubt
It is a lovely thing that we have
It is a lovely thing that we
It is a lovely thing, the animal
the animal instinct
So take my hands and come with me
we will change reality
So take my hands and we will pray
They won't take you away
They will never make me cry, no
They will never make me die
And the thing that gets to me
is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
is I'll always be in doubt
The animal, the animal,
the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, the animal,
the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, it's the animal,
It's the animal instinct in me.
It's the animal, it's the animal,
the animal instinct in me
The animal, the animal,
the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, it's the animal,
It's the animal instinct in me.

I Try by Macy Gray
Games, changes and fears
When will they go from here
When will they stop
I believe that fate has brought us here
And we should be together babe
But were not
I play it off but I'm dreamin' of you
I'll keep my cool but I'm feignin'
I try to say goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
I may appear to be free
But I'm just a prisoner of your love
I may seem alright and smile when you leave
But my smiles are just a front (just a front)
I play it off but I'm dreamin' of you
I'll keep my cool but I'm feignin'
I try to say goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Here is my confession
May I be your possession
Boy I need your touch
Your love kisses and such
With all my might I try
But this I can't deny (deny)
I play it off but I'm dreamin' of you
I'll keep my cool but I'm feignin'
I try to say good bye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear

Colors by Amos Lee
Yesterday I got lost in the circus
Feeling like such a mess
Now I’m down I’m just hanging on the corner
I can’t help but reminisce
Cause when you’re gone all the colors fade
When you’re gone, no New Year’s Day parade
You’re gone
Colors seem to fade
Your mama called she said that you’re downstairs crying
Feeling like such a mess
Yeah I hear you, you’re in the background bawling
What happened to your sweet summertime dress
I know we all, we all got our faults
We get locked in our vaults and we stay
But when you’re gone all the colors fade
When you’re gone, no New Year’s Day parade
You’re gone
Colors seem to fade
Colors seem to fade
Yeah.

To Have and Not to Hold by Madonna
To have and not to hold
So hot yet so cold
My heart is in your hand
And yet you never stand
Close enough for me
to have my way
To love but not to keep
To laugh not to weep
Your eyes they go right through
And yet you never do
Anything to make me want to stay
Like a moth to a flame
Only I am to blame
Ba ba da ba ba ba
What can I do
Ba ba da ba ba ba
I go straight to you
Ba ba da ba ba ba
I've been told
You're to have
Not to hold
To look but not to see
To kiss but never be
The object of your desire
I'm walking on a wire
And there's no one at all
To break my fall
Like a moth to a flame
Only I am to blame
Ba ba da ba ba ba
What can I do
Ba ba da ba ba ba
I go straight to you
Ba ba da ba ba ba
I've been told
You're to have
Not to hold
You're to have not to hold
You're to have not to hold
Like a moth to a flame
Only I am to blame
Ba ba da ba ba ba
What can I do
Ba ba da ba ba ba
I go straight to you
Ba ba da ba ba ba

You're to have

Loud and Clear by The Cranberries
I hope that you miss me
Put me down on history
I feel such a reject now
Get yourself a life
I hope that you're sorry
For not accepting me
For not adoring me
Thats why I'm not your wife
People are stranger
People in danger
People are stranger
People deranged
I remember there was
Nothing I could ever do
Never could impress you
Even if I tried
Tell somebody who cares
Fill the room with empty stares
Go to bed and say my prayers
Keep them satisfied
People are stranger
People in danger
People are stranger
People deranged
Loud and clear I make my point my dear
I hope that you never
Get the things you wanted to
Now I cast a spell on you
Complicate your life
Hope you get a puncture
Everywhere you ever drive
Hope the sun beats down on you and
Skin yourself alive

My Immortal by Evanescence
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating life
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

Oo nga pala, hindi nga pala tayo

Asan nga ba ako? Andiyan pa ba sa iyo?
Nahihilo, nalilito
Asan ba ko sayo? Aasa ba ko sayo?
Nasusuka ako, kinakain na ang loob
Masakit na mga tuhod, kailangan bang lumuhod?
Gusto ko lang naman, yung totoo
Hindi po ang sagot, hindi rin isang tanong
Nahihilo, nalilito
