Hyperactive

I lost my favorite hanky but I had a blast tonight. Hahaha, my Mom's not even convinced I'm sober enough. Nyorks, I am 'no! Not a baptism of fire though. Amazing that it's only now--as in now--that I feel these great balls of fire in my stomach. I should have released the effects of three screwdrivers, one mango daquiri and three sips of red wine when I danced for 30 minutes, simultaneously feeling my fever and cold slipping by as if saying buh-bye and heading to the elevator. Holy camote, my vision is blurred.

And oh, the very first time I downed 2 shots of grape lambanog in Ilocos, I woke up the morning after na. So this is a sweet revenge for me. Could take more than that na daw. Gee, perhaps it should take more sophistication to be able to conquer it. Sabi na sa inyo pati sikmura ko may pagka-social climber talaga. Ahehe.

And..Joy!! 2 nights and 3 days sa Pan-Pacific Yokohama!! Wahoo!! Wala lang.

At eto ang difference ng pademure at may tama:

Ahehe, pati shawl di na naayos. Kaya pala parang sinasakal ako ni Zuma. Sheesh.

Happy birthday nga pala kina:

Random thoughts. Long lunes. Pet-less. Bookworm.

Haba nitong araw na 'to. Whew. A lot has happened. Basta, haba talaga. Blah.

Huhuhuhu...all of a sudden sa Quezon na ang home address nina Scooby, Mumay, Nikita, Kitty 1, Kitty 2, Kevin and Azon. Waaaah!!! Uncle ko in denial pa. if i know, miss na miss na kaagad nya si Scooby. As of this typing, they are on their way there. Hope they get there safely. Mamimiss ko silang lahat...waaaaahhhh!!!!!!

Grabe, takot pa rin me sa Feng Shui na yan. Hahaha, aliw si Dianna.

"Alin pinakanakakakilabot na scene (sa movie)?"

"'Yung nakita nya si Luz Fernandez nasa gilid nya at wala sa kabaong!" (Naka-take 12 pala si Kris for that scene alone. On the 12th take, Chito Rono apparently gave up, hehe! Pero nobody noticed Kris' reaction anymore, everybody must have been screaming by then.)

"Yung dulo, nung maputla na rin si Ilonah Jean!"

"Ay hinde, yung kay Lotlot sa hagdan!!" (Kaya in the middle of the night and I have to pee...nah, forget it. If I don't get over it soon, baka magpabili ako ng orinola *it's a matter of semantics, mwahahahaha!!*)

"Eh ikaw, Dianna?"

"Ay naku, lahat! Punyetang pelikula yan!!"

Si Nanay..si Nanay...hehehehehe!!

I chanced upon The Wolves In The Walls at National today. Makes me wanna erase (I will actually erase it) The Day I swapped My Dad For Two Goldfish sa CRT wish list ko kasi ..nyaha, it's only a short story with illustrations. Pareho lang sila. I read The Wolves...na. Chances are, ganun din yung The Day...although some say it's quite a dark story for a children's lit. Kaya Coraline na lang!!

And Erwin has Good Omens. Wipee. Trust the guy to have the real good ones. Weee.

Something to save for na lang yung Atonement and Oryx and Crake. Gee.

O, eto:

"Anong ginagawa mo kapag sobrang depressed ka na?"

"Sorry ha, hindi kasi ako nadedepress eh!"

"Eh ikaw (to the other companion)? Ano ba dapat gawin pag depressed ka na?"

"Hindi ko rin alam eh. Kasi depressed din ako."

Let's rejoice for diversity. Weee.

UPDATES

Updates lang ng buhay ko, hehe! Weekend na naman!! Ibig sabihin, dalawang araw na lang, start na naman ng workweek!! Brr.

Aklat, Aklat

No evil intent becomes successful talaga. But timely retraction of (semi)-evil intentions bring super good rewards. Hehe...ganito kasi yun. But before that, natapos ko na rin yung American Gods. Naappreciate ko sya nung patapos na. Obsession ko na tuloy makabili nung Good Omens nila ni Terry Pratchett. Brr.

Ang makulet na si Eman, feeling ata hindi ko isosoli yung Tribulation Force nya, pati bag ko sinilip kaya nalaman nya na dala ko today. Grabe, siyempre dala ko coz I will read it no! Alangan namang dalhin ko para kainin, page by page. May pasimpleng offer pa if it's okay daw to sell my books 5 and 8 of the LBS. Dream on!! Nyuk nyuk nyuk, hindi pwede!! Ayokoh!!! So anyway, my semi-evil intent that's why I rushed to Rob after office today is to grab any LBS books na wala pa ako para inggitin si Eman coz he seems so desperate in completing the series na kahit ang mamahal pinapatulan na (kahit wala na syang pambili ng FHM next month o one of those useless wrestling magazines na parang mga matadero sa palengke lang naman ang mga itsura!). Eh ang karma, super advanced. Kahit delivery day ng Booksale eh walang kahit isang LBS book!!!! Pati sa National wala!!!

So in my thoughts, I kinda spoke to whatever it is, or whoever it is, sabi ko okay lang kahit walang mabiling LBS book. Di ko naman talaga dindesire i-complete yun, ginagalit ko lang si Emanski. And the reward? Ang bilis. New cheap books. And to think, kaka-delete ko lang nung 2 sa kanila sa Amazon wish list ko kaninang lunch!! Weee!!

SECRET LIFE OF BEES - Had to choose between this one and The Life of Pi. For some reason, iniwan ko yung The Life of Pi sa wish list. Kasi pala makikita ko sya. Mwaha.

A CONFEDERACY OF DUNCES - Yay, alala ko si Chelli. She promised to buy me one kasi she saw it was on sale dun...prob lang kanino nya isasabay para i-ship dito. Mare, wag na, nakakuha na ako. Gee, super cheap pa. I read the Foreword, mukhang interesting. Nag-suicide pala author nito when he was in his early 30's lang. Tsk tsk.

DOUBLE WHAMMY - My fifth Carl Hiassen book. I find him super funny. Ang inner evil side ng lahat ng tao alam nya. Hahaha.

ANGELS - My 2nd Marian Keyes book. I enjoyed Lucy Sullivan is Getting Married talaga eh so I think I will love this one, too.

Darn, have to give up another Hiassen book, Lucky You, and two of Amy Tan's (A Hundred Secret Senses and The Kitchen God's Wife) kahit super cheap kasi mashoshort ako sa budget. Takot na tuloy ako mag-withdraw come Monday kasi babalikan ko talaga yun pag may pera ako. Grrrr...dapat magtipid pa naman ngayon kasi mahirap buhay. Grabe nafifeel ko sya...lalo pa nagbi-birthday yung mga inaanak mo tas lapit na Pasko. Mom ko naman deadma na pag ganun...syempre nga naman may work na ako bakit sya pa bibili ng pang-gift ko? Hay naku.

Sa isang linggo

Sabi ni Takano, simula sa Lunes, lagi ng makintab at mapula ang labi ko. At hindi na rin ako mag-iingay gaya ng dati. Hah, hindi noh!! Hindi pa rin ako mag-me-make up sa office at hindi ako tatahimik. Baka magkasakit ako pag hindi ako dumaldal noh. Pero..hehe...twice this week kame pareho ng color ng damit...purple nung tuesday at beige kahapon. Heehee. Wala lang. Ay ayoko na, chinechek pa naman ni Watashi everyday sa pawikan-paced na PIASI workstation ang blog ko. Hi, Wata!! Ang Book 3 ko ng True Philippine Ghost Stories!! Di ko pa nabili Book 4 kasi wala sa National!!

I so love my team

Hehe, promotor pa supervisor namen...nag-decorate na kami for Christmas sa buong office. Naaaliw lahat ng pumapasok. Nakalimutan namin na me Halloween pa pala. Di bale, just like what Eiselle suggested, lalagyan na lang namin ng spiders lahat ng Christmas balls na nakasabit. And we also have this big board for our wish list. 2 days palang kung anu-ano na nakalagay. Syempre ako majority eh books. Try ko to take a shot of the board so you can see ano mga wishes namin. Pero syempre ang the best of them all: MULTIPLE ENTRY VISAS TO CRT!

I have to be more focused and dedicated sa aking reading time. That's how shallow I am. Actually, dito naman nagmamanifest how much I love myself. Dito lang ako nasasatisfy. This is my only vice (err, aside from eating). So a "boyfriend from God" can wait. Pano kung hindi kasi sya mahilig magbasa di ba?? Away lang yun lagi. Hmmm...what the hell am I saying??

PORN STAR NAME (NAME OF FIRST PET + STREET YOU LIVE IN)--- Janice Chromium (parang low-budget space flick character, duh)

MOVIE STAR NAME (NAME OF YOUR FAVOURITE SNACK FOOD + GRANDFATHER'S FIRST NAME)--- Ruffles Aquilino? Ruffles Nestor? (Parang aso eh)

COMINGS AND GOINGS

I am happy I finally found the blogskin I liked before but was not able to use because I was still so blog illiterate. Hah! In the next few days, bago na naman blogskin ko, weehee.

Today is Carter's last day with us. He will leave for D.C. till Valerie gives birth to Little Carter 2 then they will move to Bolivia. The guy's so cool and generous with us that even though he can't seem to jive with all of us pag barubalan na (syempre Tagalog eh), he still makes effort to connect. Funny din. Taga-salo ng rude callers namin. Pag narinig na nya yung super lambing na "Carter....." it means Hold-Transfer-5190-Transfer na kasunod na movement ng daliri namin sa phone. Or when he hears, "Let me transfer your call to an American officer", yun na yun. Sayang di namin nakunan yung banner and buntings namin made of Early Appointment Request forms (ahehehe!!) plus our treat for Valerie and him. Sobrang mamimiss namin sya. Una na si Chelli, ay hindi--si Tita Loren pala--then si Carter nga, then....

Si Eman. Darn, nag-resign na din ang mokong. Greener pasture nga naman. Pero hokey lang, it's for his own sanity--nyaha!! I believe he gets to be paid more sa job na offered ng kanyang "Atenean Korean friend". Good luck na lang dude. Mamimiss mo kami, loko ka. Isang linggo ka pa lang, iiyak ka na sa banyo ng bago mong opis o di kaya eh magkukulong sa pangit na pantry dun kasi miss na miss mo na kami. Mamimiss ka rin namin kasi si John mukhang seryosong tao at si Aldrin eh mukhang di pwedeng barubalin kasi he seems capable of banging one's head on the wall pag inasar sya. Pag tinopak ako di ko sosoli Tribulation Force m. Hehehe, iyo na lang yang Apollyon ko kasi lok-bu ko naman nabili yan eh. Mwahahahaha!!! Always remember, TOTAL GIRL, NO BOYS ALLOWED!!!

And speaking of books, mother of all camotes, hindi ko pa rin tapos yung American Gods. Weird na aklat yun. Di tlaga kaya ng sistema ko yung ganun. Ngwek, tapos nag-ambisyon pa ako ng Catch 22. Bahala na. Reading time is reading time in the same way that Anna Dizon is Anna Dizon (sino nga ba itong si Anna Dizon? Sounds like a porn star's name to me).

How time flies. Lapit na Christmas. Mas malapit na rin bonus. La lang.

*why?*

i'm not getting tired of you. nagsasawa lang ako sa ginagawa mo. call it topak but yes, tinotopak ako tonight. kasi naman. umayos tayo ng kilos. yung bagay sa edad natin. you, of all people, have to command respect kasi karespe-respeto ka naman, and i have not given up (yet) on that fact. don't think na hindi na kita kailangan because i do. ang mahirap sa iyo, takot kang dumating ang araw na hindi na ikaw ang wall that we all lean on. dapat nga masaya ka na ganito na ako. i feel your pride pero may pretension pa rin, bakit ganun?bakit kailangang sugarcoated lahat?

mahal naman kita eh. umayos ka lang. nakakasawa lang yung ginagawa mo, yung style na ganyan. pero hindi ako nagsasawa sa yo. dahil hindi dapat.

EVERYTHING WILL BE BRIGHT AND ROSY ON MONDAY. I JUST FEEL IT. *kilig*

*bagong awit na ayaw maalis sa sistema*

barely 5 months ago, i fancied this song for my favorite couple. just yesterday, i found myself playing this over and over while thinking of....basta. thanks, alicia keys.

Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power yeah
Some people live just to play the game
Some people think that the physical things
Define what's within
And I've been there before
But that life's a bore
So full of the superficial

Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you

Some people search for a fountain
The promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
And that's the only way to prove you love them
Hand me a world on a silver platter
And what good would it be?
With no one to share, with no one who truly cares for me

Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothingIf I ain't got you, you, you

Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you

If I ain't got you with me baby
Nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
If I ain't got you with me baby

*tampo*

yan, hokey na blogger. napa-post tuloy me sa motime. click nyo na lang here, esp kay Biboy.

walandyo, gumising ako ng madaling araw para lang manood ng Y Speak. Okay naman yung program for a pilot, sana lang mamaintain. Syempre si Mar Roxas at ang di umapir na si Korina ang isa sa pinanood ko pero aliw sya. Isa pa 'tong si Mystica. Si Hero Angeles isang beses ko lang narinig nagsalita, napaiyak pa nya ang bruha. Bigla ko atang namiss si Melanie Marquez sa mga tablahang ganito, pampawala ba ng antok.

Teka nga magtatrabaho muna ako.

*kumain ng muning at nagpakuha kasama si sarah*

burp. grabe, sarap nung siopao na muning (peace, Tita Ditos!!) na kinain ko for lunch. weehee.

"Sarah (Geronimo) is already there at the interview area." Deadma kame. So?

"Baka gusto nyong pumunta dito, anjan na si Aiai (delas alas)". Deadma pa rin kame. Gago pa 'to si Takano. Sabi ba naman, "Ayoko ngang makita yun, ang laki ng d*d* nun eh mamya mapanaginipan ko pa yun." Gago talaga.

Hoyst, birthday ni Mama Mary , dapat mabait tayo.

(after a 15-minute interruption)

(Peram Girlie ha---at anong 'ur girlfriend'?) Putek, nagpakuha rin me ng picture kasama si Sarah Geronimo. Maganda naman pala ang batang 'yon. Feeling close nga kame eh. Di ko nakita si Volta, ang may malaking d*d*. Post ko pic namen ni Sarah later. Hahahahahaha!! Kahiyaan na..pag nakadalawang tawag na ang amo mo at hinahanap kayo, hindi ka pa ba pupunta at makiki-pose. Bah, mahirap galitin ang aming demigoddess!

*cool*

ang cool ng bagong workstation namen, woohoo. basta naco-coolan ako sa kanya. kahit nakadalawang palpak na ako sa unang araw pagbalik ko from my short break, okay lang. bago na ang kibord ko, hindi na yung naggigitata. ngayon, iniingatan ko na syang wag mahulugan ng crumbs ng pandesal, skyflakes, otap and other what have you's.

at eto, naggaganituhan lang kame sa opis (names have been changed to protect our dignity, or at least whatever's left, hahaha!!)...take note, ang mga taong ito ay nakapasa sa strict employment and security procedure ng state department, and look at what were doing (start from the bottom to make sense of it):

Shopping lang yan, huuu. Pero if you feel you want to accomplish something...wala lang. Ganun din feeling ko eh. Parang I have all the chances to make my mark pero wala pa rin akong nagagawa at all. Hay. PERA lang ang sagot sa dilemma natin. PERA. kung hindi pera, LALAKI. at least sa akin ha, ewan ko sa inyo.

Alright!!! Seriously speaking, happy ako dito. What distracts me is the feeling that I don't seem to accomplish anything. I want to have a project. I want to conceptualize something pero di ko alam kung ano. Ang lalim pare! Isa pa, gusto kong mag-shopping! Ala naman akong pera.

Nyeta, ang jologs ng mga names na ginamit ko. mwahahahahaha!!

at manonood ako ng feng shui next week. mwahahahaha!!

the notebook din.

napanood ko na yung thirteen. lahat naman ng pagkuwentuhan ko may second hirit pa na, "13 going on 30"? ano ba!!

YEAH, RIGHT.


You are Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen);
intellectually stimulating, romantic, and
sardonic. You are a brilliant love story about
how two people go through a complete change of
feelings, and about how society of the early
1800s was quite hilarious. I'm glad they found
love, because they used to hate each other. Go
say something sarcastic.

*tinatamad*

a very normal me. nasa book 2 na ako nung true philippine ghost stories at kahit daytime ko sya binabasa, takot na takot ako. wala namang bago. nakakakilabot lang. hehe, yung 2nd to the last story nga ng book 1 eh yung isang nag-evolve na story ng moomoo na may red eye na una kong narinig habang nasa bus kame pabalik from our humanities 1 trip from laguna back in 1999. sa benitez hall pala daw ng UPD nag-originate yun? eh yung creepy pic ng magkaibigan sa libis? tagal na nun. pero di naman nga ako dun nangilabot. yung ibang story. weehee, pati tuloy american gods di ko matapos. naguguluhan na nga ako sa napuntahan ni shadow eh. pag tinamad ako lalo, iiwanan ko yun at babalikan ang fearless series...di ko pa basa yung book 5, 6, 14 at 30. o di kaya yung unbearbale lightness of being.

grabe, pasok na naman bukas. yoko pa.

*windang*

my mini-vacation will be over in about 30 hours. waaah! at eto ako, firm na in changing my blogskin for the umpteenth time basta may mahanap na maganda. hindi ko pa rin tapos yung american gods, pucha. dami pa naka-line up. bili ng bili kaya wala ng pera pero hindi naman nababasa. katamaran talaga. hindi ko alam kung saan ko ba nakuha ito. kasi naman.

ayun, medyo nakalimutan ng kaunti ang burn at eto naman dream of me ni kirsten dunst at i believe ni tata young ang ayoko tigilan. sheesh.

hanap na lang ulet ng bagong skin. pag wala pa by 1 am, tulog na ko. wala pasok bukas, weee.

bam and books

as the lazy gods might have guessed, bam and i didn't go as planned. it's always like that with her. not that i feel bad because i don't. we usually feel this lazy itch at about the same time, and whoever's luckier gets to call first and explain something, window-dressed to actually mean, "wag na lang tayo tumuloy, next time na lang". this time she was luckier. our phone rang at exactly the same moment i was thinking of staring at the ceiling for another half hour--which would make me definitely late for a 1:30 pm meeting in glorietta. so there, she called and we agreed to have it next time, preferably the september book fair in megamall. it is something we may find hard to miss, with or without our "date".

so after claiming my diploma 2 years and 4 months after graduation, i instead went with my mom to SM because they have a three-day sale. pucha, i am a fixture in a lot of mall sales but i really end up bored and-or pissed. una, daming tao. as in. second, items are not really on sale. a few perhaps, but these are the ones that even if they offer it to you for less than one hundred bucks, you still wouldn't buy it. of course, it's different with national bookstore.

eman and i seem to race to buy bargained left behind books. i already have 5, he has 2. we have agreed to swap but i encourage him to buy na lang if he sees one. like today, i bought my fifth, desecration, which is the ninth installment in the series. those hardbound books from US libraries are really overflowing. but the funny thing is, i skipped buying taipan by james clavell and executive power by vince flynn (sa totoo lang dahil kasi baka kulangin ang budget), even giving up a P99-worth book titled beautiful wasps having sex (plot is far than what the title suggests!) for...jarann...true philippine ghost stories books 1 and 2. you see that, those thin books sold for P80? somebody told me they're scary. the gullible that i am, and the certified duwag that i am, pinatulan ko. as of this typing, i read the first story, and though it's typical, it gave me the chills. now, admittedly, natatakot ako tumingin sa side ko kasi baka may makita ako. ngii, tama na nga.

another shameless confession: i bought this new teen mag, totalgirl, and vowed to subscribe for the next six months. hayep, the look on my mom's face was priceless when she saw me flipping the pages kanina. ewan ko ba, maybe because i never had my share of bop and teenbeat and tigerbeat collection in highschool kaya ngayon ako bumabawi. and i bought the mag because...uhm..i like lindsay lohan. the parent trap and life size are memorable movies to my juvenile heart (wth?), and i was convinced that i like her when a friend, who was too pa-mysterious to put her own pic, uploaded a lindsay collage as her friendster pic. then it's freaky friday, confession of a teenage drama queen and mean girls. and another reason i bought the mag is because of (wait, have to put my raincoat for the tomatoes that you'll throw)...the olsen twins. i so looove them. end comments.

hay naku, an office leave should be more productive than updating your blog everyday and checking your friendster for "new friend requests" to approve. before i know it, my leave's over and nothing good has come out of me. poor me. i really have to get him back here. as in here. *sigh*

*ngarag*

super. i took a vacation leave for six days (err, the sixth day is actually an office holiday) and i looked forward to it until it came. eman texted me that i must be greasing my ass watching tv and catching up on my reading but he's quite wrong. i did read a few, a watched, surfed for longer hours, ate..but it's not what i really expected. maybe i ought to go out. i am supposed to watch BABY tonight but gave my tickets (err..sold) to neds, who then gave it sheena.

so okay, i'm going out tomorrow after paying the bills and getting my diploma. originally planned to have lunch with jazz at elj loop but had to cancel it just a coupla hours ago because she has to take her mom to her check-up. of course, it's gotta be her mom first. before my chance to rub elbows with ABS-CBN stars. weehee.

so bam and i will probably head to makati where more of our friends can get to us easily (if they can pa ha!). or it can just be the two of us for the entire day. i miss bam so much. she's my best college buddy. it's somehow mutual when she said in her friendster testimonial that college days became bearable because i was there. it made mine bearable too because she's there. see, i totally lost interest in school since--what--second year high? much more when i went to college. before, i had this excuse of the maddening commute from manila to cavite but things didn't become better when we moved here. basta in sum, bam made going to school fun, except for times when i was really so tamad (oh, he typical me) to even wrench from my bed. we have not seen each other for more than a year!! and oh---made me remember that i have not seen licette since freida's going away party!

hay, i'm sleepy na. super apologies to kuya jeff for not going online last night. hope to catch you soon.

and grabe, a text from glen. didn't budge me when he started his greetings with the keywords "mrs. palengke" and when we exchanged thoughts about people's participation vs constituent empowerment. it was just his second to the last text that had me thinking. wow pare, you made me feel that i still have a brain pala.

freaky. you are on leave and your boss calls you to ask about this little project that you left undone. since i'm mustering (and mastering!) the inaantok stance, i got her to just email whatever's happening there "because i can do it from here". kaya ako natatawag na "currently anak ng diyos" eh.

it's 12:40 am. no new mar roxas news except for his non-appearance at this glitzy power men awarding whatever in nuvo that i didn't even bother to read. gotta sleep na. hay.

at LSS ko pa din BURN ni Usher. i've listened to it for practically 3 straight days lang naman, why kaya 'no?

Burn, Baby, Burn!

Just felt a desire to put it here. Wala lang. Pucha, mag-aapat na araw na, tagal ko magsawa!

I don't understand why
See it's burning me to hold onto this
I know this is something I gotta do
But that don't mean I want to
What I'm trying to say is that I-love-you
I just I feel like this is coming to an end
And it's better for me to let it go now than hold on and hurt you
I gotta let it burn

[Verse 1]
It's gonna burn for me to say this
But it's comin from my heart
It's been a long time coming
But we done been fell apart
Really wanna work this out
But I don't think you're gonna change
I do but you don't
Think it's best we go our separate ways
Tell me why I should stay in this relationship
When I'm hurting baby, I ain't happy baby
Plus there's so many other things I gotta deal with
I think that you should let it burn

[Chorus]
When the feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go cuz the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
Deep down you know it's best for yourself but you
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it's over
We know it been through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn

[Verse 2]
Sendin' pages I ain't supposed to
Got somebody here but I want you
Cause the feelin ain't the same find myself
Callin' her your name
Ladies tell me do you understand?
Now all my fellas do you feel my pain?
It's the way I feel
I know I made a mistake
Now it's too late I know she ain't comin back
What I gotta do now
To get my shorty back
Ooo ooo ooo ooooh
Man I don't know what I'm gonna do
Without my booo
You've been gone for too long
It's been fifty-leven days, umpteen hours
Imma be burnin' till you return (let it burn)

[Chorus]
When the feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go cuz the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn (let it burn, let it burn, you gon'learn)
Let it burn (gotta let it burn)
Gotta let it burn
Deep down you know its best for yourself but you
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it's over
We know it been through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn

[Bridge]
I'm twisted cuz one side of me is tellin' me that I need to move on
On the other side I wanna break down and cry (ooooh)
I'm twisted cuz one side of me is tellin' me that I need to move on
On the other side I wanna break down and cry (cry)

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh oooh
Ooh ooh oooh (can ya feel me burnin'?)
Ooh ooh ooh oooh ooh oooh so many days, so many hours
I'm still burnin' till you return

[Chorus]
When the feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
You know gotta let it go cuz the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
Deep down you know it's best for yourself but you
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it's over
We know it been through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn

Of course, the uncultured me doesn't care a darn bit about Greek gods and goddesses so, no comment.

?? Which Of The Greek Gods Are You ??
brought to you by Quizilla

INNOCENTLY MADE


You are American Gods! You are mysterious,
intelligent, and creative. To the rest of the
world you may seem a little standoffish, but
really youre just a quiet person. Youre sort of
bookish and are intrigued by mythology and
fairy tales. You might be Wiccan or Pagan,
either that or youre unreligious. You have a
sarcastic sense of humor and are the kind of
person people like to talk to because youre
such a good listener.

*~Which Neil Gaiman book are you?~*

Hehehe, I have yet to make it halfway through this book...I would have actually liked if the result was Coraline. Nyaha.
