quoting, singing, quoting
There’s a difference between a failure and a fiasco. A failure is merely the absence of success. Any fool can achieve failure. But a fiasco, a fiasco is a disaster of epic proportions. A fiasco is a folk tale told to others to make other people feel more alive because it didn’t happen to them.

- the newest addition to my favorite movie list (yup among many many favorites). I stumbled upon it on good Friday, when I was again down in the dumps, at my lowest point yet for this year, actually, and feeling uberly miserable and sorry for myself. At least gave me a new perspective on things… on failure, and wallowing… and happiness… and being a breath of fresh air in the world. The Kirsten Dunst character! Happy shalalala girl pa naman ako, sobra, thus loving the freakishly effervescent Kirsten dunst character (sorry but I hate Orlando bloom, still do, sorry oliver… loved this movie though), overkill nga lang. She’s one of a kind. I truly believe I am too.
Although at that point in my life, nung araw na iyon nga lang, mas depressed ako in the Orlando bloom sense. Oh well. Thank you lord for making me pick up that remote and watch this gem. Sumaya ako ulit. Yehey.
However, how often can one minutely wallow on one’s failures/fiascos without actually exploding, you know what i mean? oh well. bahala na batman. i hope i can stay like this, cheerful, i mean, for an extended period of time. opd naman ako now eh. i wonder i wonder i wonder. i wonder how astute people can be in recognizing a cry for help? thank you to my friend genevieve, you have made me feel better with two words.:-) i hope you’re right.
Love prevails.
Wish i could be the one, the one who could give you love, the kind of love you really need. Wish i could say to you that i’ll always stay with you. But baby that’s not me. You need someone willing to give their heart and soul to you, promise you forever, baby that’s something i can’t do. Oh i could say that i’ll be all you need, but that would be a lie. I know i’d only hurt you, I know i’d only make you cry. I’m not the one you’re needing, I love you, goodbye. I hope someday you can find some way to understand i’m only doing this for you. I don’t really wanna go but deep in my heart i know this is the kindest thing to do. You’ll find someone who’ll be the one that i could never be, who’ll give you something better than the love you’ll find with me. Oh i could say that i’ll be all you need but that would be a crime. I know i’d only hurt you, I know i’d only make you cry. I’m not the one you’re needing, I love you, goodbye.
Leaving someone when you love someone is the hardest thing to do when you love someone as much as i love you. Oh i don’t wanna leave you, baby it tears me up inside. But i’ll never be the one you’re needing, I love you, goodbye. Baby, its never gonna work out, I love you, goodbye.

You would always ask me those words I say, and telling me what it means to me… every single day you always act this way but how many times I’ve told you, I love you, for this is all I know… (ANO DAW???? hwehehehe)
– I just watched recently yung “one more chance” ni john Lloyd and bea. 5 stars (sorry ping ha now ko lang napanuod, pero I totally agree, I like it!)!!! and three thumbs up – polydactyly (will I ever tire of this hirit?).
Someone told me once that having once loved and lost would truly make you enjoy, nay, internalize this movie. You will find yourself to be either Popoy or Basha. So ako naman, iyakin girl galore, ano nangyari? Wala! Hehehe. First of all, since I was watching it with sibs and cousins peering over my shoulder (at baka pagtawanan pa nila ako noh, hehehe), and second, I prolly could not fully relate, 
being pure and having a comedy life… although if there was one scene that truly tugged at my lacrimal glands, naiyak super ako dun sa hospital scene, when the goofy friend of lloydy tried to kill himself, and they had this whole madrama spiel and bea cried upon hearing it. Ehehehe. Pero I laughed so hard super duper dun sa jeepney scene (thanks to my brother for this, twas so funny kahit he gave me a heads-up about this bentang eksena). Anyway. So sino ako dun? Siempre si Basha (kuno). Pero hindi rin eh. (Hindi talaga actually. Super pinilit ko lang yun). ? I have no heartbreak of that proportion to speak of. Hmm. Oh but wait. Matagal ko na nga tong alam, pero if i were a Bea alonzo character i’d be Betsy Rallos (Now that i have you). Comedy eh. Parang kinopya sa akin 75-80% of that character. Agree???
Yun pala ang name ng pet plant ko, popoy.
And finally, yup napanood ko na yung movie namin (Blue Moon) on Cinema One. By namin, I mean myself and my doctor friends Andrei, Dennis, Marris and Dra Pua. at alam ko exactly where we were supposed to be, had we not been cut out… yep na-cut ang eksena namin!! Paksyet! Joel Lamangan you *^%* director you!!! Joke lang. Hehehe. K lang we still got paid naman. Thanks for watching though, for the support, mga fans. It’s a pretty nice movie… award-winning… nicer kung andun pa rin sana kami. We ended up on the cutting room floor lang pala. Di bale mag-aartista pa rin ako! Will still have my movie break someday! Hehehe!
Now i dont understand why i insist on blogging whenever im terribly busy, whenever i have many charts to attend to, but hey. wait lang. im on the verge of losing it here, so indulge me.
i also got myself hooked on the brian gorrell gucci gang scandal, mukhang sira, it really enables you to waste a lot of time, fast!! funnee!!! oh god what i’d give to be able to go to bora now. haaaaayyyyy….
now one last, im so sorry:
Your job is to break through barriers. Not accept blame and bow and say: “Thank you, I’m a loser, I’ll go away now.” “Phil’s mean to me….” So what? You want to be really great? Then have the courage to fail big and stick around. Make them wonder why you’re still smiling. That’s true greatness to me.

para sa u, sorry sorry sorry po.
off to the gallows, er, work i go. (holiday pa naman. nanaman. ulit. oh well. this would be my life until i finally decide to break free…)
