When you're down, who can better cheer you up than a good friend? Thank God for friends! Sabi nga ni B'ley. At speaking of the demonyita, she invited me to her house last weekend at sabay daw kami magmumukmok. Baket kelangan magmukmok? Dahil nasira ang plano... sabi na nga ba, kaya allergic ako sa mga plano eh... *haaay* But what do you know, I managed to still laugh last Saturday when I asked for directions... aba eh si B'ley ba naman ang kausap ko eh. Read on and enjoy:

Could this really be my year for travel? It started out last February when my friends and I took a plane to Cebu, and a boat to Bohol. Now I'm off somewhere farther woohoo! Well I did complain that the plane ride to Cebu was too short - sobrang bitin. Eh ngayon- I think magsasawa ako sa plane. Hehe!! I can't wait! :-)

Ah basta, I just feel so so blessed! I must've done a lot of good :-)

Now for my latest LSS...

WHY CAN'T I?

Get a load of me, get a load of you
Walkin' down the street, and I hardly know you
It's just like we were meant to be

Holding hands with you, and we're out at night
Got a girlfriend, you say it isn't right
And I've got someone waiting too

This is, this is just the beginning
We're already wet, and we're gonna go swimming

Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you

Isn't this the best part of breakin' up
Finding someone else you can't get enough of
Someone who wants to be with you too

It's an itch we know we are gonna scratch
Gonna take a while for this egg to hatch
But wouldn't it be beautiful

Here we are, we're at the beginning
We haven't fucked yet, but heads spinning

Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you

I'd love for you to make me wonder
Where it's goin'
I'd love for you to pull me under
Somethin's growin'
for this that we can control
Baby I am dyin'

Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you

Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you

Happy Easter!!!

And happy it is :-) I thought of going to the office yesterday to brush up on the stuff I'm going to teach tomorrow. I got there at around 3pm and waited for B'ley. Then suddenly Mammy went online - fresh from a retreat; and I've been begging him to see me because he's leaving for Cebu at 2pm today and will be gone for a month (sigh). Little did I know he's also in the office. And then, ayan na. Nagkayayaan na sa gimik. Movies daw. Keri. Suddenly I thought of Tads (yet again). The last time we met was March 31 - skipping Hed Kandi to meet him (and I'd do that anytime btw); and we would usually meet after a month at least. But what if I text him to see if there's a chance for another meet? So I grabbed my phone and texted away but without my hopes up. And here comes his reply which at first I thought is like a rejection letter I get more often than OK's. Surprisingly, he said that he can make it. Whoa!! Ayon naman! At shemps, excited ako - AKO pa?!

After a series of texts effex, he finally arrived. And this I just thought is funny- he'd "beso" with the others but when it comes to me, he would stretch his arms ready for a hug. Aaaw! Kaya miss ko to' ng husto eh. We had a great time as usual. Puro patawa with everybody's usual antics. Sus! Pagsamahin ba naman si B'ley at si Tads? San ka pa?! Plus, we got to ride Chickety Jr. - his new car (Honda Civic). Heart!

After three fun-filled hours, though we never made it to the movies (only Mammy and his sister Sheena) time to say bye again. I gave Mammy a good hug. We stayed for a few more minutes after he and his sister left. Then we said bye to B'ley and Roanne. Then Tads gave me a ride to the office where I'll spent the rest of the time til' it's safer to go home. Haaay sad na naman itong mga bye-bye effex na ito. When we got to my destination, wow bawal ang hugs bukas. Hmmm, actually between the two of us? Wala talagang bukas haha! Hala sige, hug to the max na ito dahil matagal na naman bago magkita. And again, I reminded him to speak up if he needs anything. He told me to just keep him posted on upcoming gimmicks - we never know when he might show up again.

I got out of his car saying good night ang take care and watched him go (yak, ang drama!). Then I went inside happy... sad... happy... sad... hehe. Then two messages came in:

B'ley: "hey myles. thanks for a fun nyt. ingat on ur way hme ltr. c u soon. gudnyt. mwah!"

Roanne: "Hey guys, i had a good time.. thanks! neil, we r going to miss u.. ingat s byahe, b'ley until nxt daldalan ulit! love u all, mwah.. ;-) salamat dn ky CJ at s Owner, nkpgjoyride tayo"

Then I texted Tads saying thanks for everything tonight. I reminded him (again!) to let me know if he needs anything and the rest is history.

Tads: "Thanks a lot Myles. :) Nice to knw I hav great friends to go to in times of need. Thanks so much. Had a great time with th gang as always. Sayang nga lang at umalis agad c neilky. Here's hoping that I can make it next time. Til then, TC and God bless. :)"

Eh ano naman ang text ni Mammy? Wala. Antok na yun eh. Hehehe!

But wait! There's more. Matatapos ba naman araw na walang peekchure peekchure? Of course not! ;-)

But next time (God knows when), I'm really bringing my cam hehe.

For Tads...

SHELTER IN THE RAIN
Stevie Wonder

When the lights are down
And the stage is bare
And no more magic's in the air
There's not a friend in sight to care
Your tears no one will share
I'll be your comfort through your pain
I'll be your shelter in the rain

When your sad is bad and your bad is worst
And there's no who to turn to first
When you've done everything you can
No one's there to take your hand
I'll be your comfort through your pain
I'll be your shelter in the rain

When you've looked around
And haven't seen me anywhere
Though when you were down
I lifted you up from there
There isn't a thing you can ask of me
I won't do
Just you put your trust in me
My love will see you through

When the final candle's flickered out
"Why me" is all you can think about
When all your joy has disappeared
Your future isn't clear
I'll be you comfort through your pain
I'll be your shelter in the rain

When all the odds say there's no chance
Amidst the final dance
I'll be your comfort through your pain
I'll be your shelter in the rain
I'll be your comfort through your pain
Yes, I'll be your shelter in the rain, rain
I'll be your shelter,
Be your shelter, be your shelter in the rain

yeah cheesy... hehe. Pero totoo yan lekat ka! ;-)
