wee ooh wee ooh wee*

i’ve been on quite a high since early saturday morning and it’s all because i saw a long-time crush in fiamma. at first i wasn’t sure it was him because well, i’ve only met him once and that was almost a year ago. since i was my sober, shy self at that time, nina was the one who approached him first to ask if he was who i thought he was. AND IT WAS HIM!!! so we ended up talking for quite a while, with none of my typical mental lapses. now, i’m in that state where i’m imagining all these alternative futures, most of which i’m sure will never come to be. i feel like breaking into song…

Oh baby baby baby

I see us on our first date

You’re doin everything that makes me smile

And when we had our first kiss

It happened on a Thursday

Ooooo it set my soul on fire

Ooo baby baby baby

I can’t wait for the first time

My imagination’s runnin wild

It feels like ooooo**

i really should stop daydreaming and start giving myself a reality check. haha! i kinda empathize with Joel Parish in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind when he said, why do i fall in love with every woman i see who shows me the least bit of attention? yeah, why do i fall in love with every cute guy with an accent? hahahahaha! oh well, i haven’t gotten this kind of a schoolgirl crush since i was, well, a schoolgirl. it’s pretty fun actually! ;P

and while i’m in the topic of crushes, rafa looks so HOT in pink… it’s so sad that he lost to Soderling while i was writing this entry. i think i lost my voice shouting at the tv screen. waaaah!!!!

i’m falling in love with atonement

…and i haven’t even watched it yet! yes, i’ve read the book which i had a hard time reading. great plot but the writing style just wasn’t for me.

trailer

the music in this trailer is just beautiful. i’ve been listening to it almost the entire day and i’m still getting goosebumps. i’ve already found the titles of two of the songs used in the trailer: “the vision” and “breathing space” both by x-ray dog. here are the full-length versions (wag niyo nalang pansinin yung images):

the vision

breathing space

galing noh? pero nakakatakot website nila and album covers. hehehe.

you can download the music in limewire or here. 🙂

one more thing i’m obsessed with is keira’s dress…

isn’t that absolutely stunning? i want one made for myself! hehehe.

calling all kindhearted souls out there!

libre niyo naman ako sa concert ni josh groban o! ang mahal eh. 3K ang lowest ticket price then 5K, 10K, 15K, 20K and 25K. sana yung 25K nakaupo ka na sa lap ni josh niyan. hehehe. i really really really wanna watch. but i’m not sure if i’m willing to shell out 3K for one night. tapos for sure hindi pa niya ako makikita niyan.

i remember making a promise to myself a long time ago involving making josh groban fall in love with me. you see when i first heard him sing, i thought he’s good vocally but somehow his voice lacks the emotion of the song he’s singing. so i told myself someday if he and i meet, i’ll make him fall in love with me. charing! hehehe.

anyway, here’s my favorite song and video of his. nevermind that it’s in a foreign language and that you can’t understand a word he’s singing. it’s beautiful.

for those falling in love…

yes, melissa, this is for you.

a few sonnets by Pablo Neruda from Cien Sonetos de Amor (100 Love Sonnets)

XVII
`
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
`
I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.
`
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way
`
than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
`
LXVI
`
I do not love you – except because I love you;
I go from loving to not loving you,
from waiting to not waiting for you
my heart moves from the cold into
`
the fire. I love you only because it’s you
I love; I hate you no end, and hating you
bend to you, and the measure of my changing love for you
is that I do not see you but love you
`
blindly. Maybe the January light will consume
my heart with its cruel
ray, stealing my key to true
`
calm. In this part of the story I am the one who
dies, the only one, and I will die of love because I love you,
because I love you, Love, in fire and in blood.

sometimes i wish i were falling in love with someone who was falling in love with me too. that feeling must be amazing. so for those who are in love or falling in love, be happy because you are lucky to be feeling the way you’re feeling right now. 🙂

because i had to post the entire thing…

i carry your heart with me
by ee cummings 

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
                                                                i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of the tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind,can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

how can you read that and not melt?! *sigh*
