here, there and everywhere

the pain really digs deep in me. i have to admit, i am jealous. yes, jealous. i recently found out that a past love is somehow dedicating "my favorite song" to his current girl.

i was frozen for a minute when i saw his blog about the song. their names were there with the word "forever" at the end. i had to agree, it was so mushy, but somehow, there's a part of me that wished the name beside his, was mine.

it was unfair. i remembered clearly that it was me who introduced the song to him. we downloaded it together, and we listened to it together. it was supposed to be "our song". if i have just known it would not be for the two of us, i wouldnt have let him hear it.

i have always believed that music heals. but this was an exemption. i never thought i would actually hate my favorite song. it came to a point that hearing its melodies would make me cry because of the pain.

in my whole life, i never imagined this would happen to me. singing is my passion and i didnt see this coming.

i just hope i could have my favorite song back.

The Warrior of Light

today may be one of the most happiest moments of my life.

my favorite author, Paulo Coelho, replied to my email. i wasnt expecting a reply from him considering that he's a very busy person, as we all know. my only intention of emailing him was for him to know how much i love his books and how much i learn from it.

the first Coelho book that i read was The Alchemist. during high school, i was not really oriented who he is. it was only in my literature class in college that i was able to know this brilliant writer. the alchemist blew me away. i finished the book in one sitting. from then on, i became a fan.

reading Paulo Coelho's books became my savior. it gave me a lot of hope about life, love and my dreams. it taught me a lot of things and it never failed to explain things that i cannot understand. Paulo Coelho wrote every thing in the manner that any one could understand and could relate to.

other books by paulo that i have read are, Veronika decides to die, The Valkeries, By the River piedra i sat down and wept, Eleven Minutes, and The Devil and Miss Prym.

Mii loves Wii

i played Wii last night with mario, caye and popo. it was so much fun! we played all sorts of Wii games and ate a lot of coffee crumble ice cream, pad thai (monster's version), and grilled cheese in loaf with sour cream.

it's official. I LOVE Wii. i cant deny it and i guess anyone who would experience this super duper superb game will definitely be hooked as i am. here's the product description of Wii for those who still dont have an idea of what im so addicted on.


Following a trend begun with the GameCube and continued with the DS handheld, Wii evidences a significant split of Nintendo's philosophy from those of its consolemaking competitors, Microsoft and Sony. As suggested by its development codename, "Revolution," Nintendo did not want this console to represent another evolution in gaming technology, but a new direction in the video game industry.
Instead of concentrating strictly on advancing the processing and graphics capabilities of its next game machine, Nintendo's research and development focused on easing accessibility, widening its audience beyond young and "hardcore" gamers, and expanding the scope of games that people make and play. With Wii, Nintendo aimed to innovate instead of simply improve.
This focus on innovation is manifest in the console's two most notable features: its controller and its backward compatibility. The Wii controller is rectangular and slender, similar to a television remote control. It is wireless and, unlike the GameCube's WaveBird, features a builtin vibration function. The wandlike Wii controller senses threedimensional motion up and down, back and forward, side to side allowing it to be aimed like laser pointer, wielded like a sword, swung like a baseball bat, cast like a fishing rod, and employed in other intuitive control schemes.
For use with games requiring conventional analog input, a thumbstick accessory, with trigger, can be plugged in the bottom of the Wii controller, to allow more traditional, twohanded manipulation. Without the thumbstick, the controller can also be turned on its side an used like a Nintendo Entertainment System gamepad, with its crossshaped Dpad beneath the left thumb and two action buttons on the right. This feature is useful for both new and old Nintendo games Wii can run.
Compared to the motionsensing controller, capacity to play games from earlier systems may seem less "revolutionary," but Wii's backward compatibility goes farther "backwards" than any previous console or handheld has gone. For a fee, Wii owners with an internet connection can gain access to an extensive offering of downloadable games from earlier generations, including releases for N64, Super NES, and even the original Nintendo Entertainment System.
Select Sega Genesis and NEC TurboGraphix games are available through the online service, as well. In addition to Nintendo's unrivaled backcatalog of classic console games, Wii can also play 8cm GameCube discs. Hidden beneath a panel on the top edge of the machine, Wii has four ports for GameCube controllers.
Games developed and released for Wii come on 12cm discs; the same size as a standard CD or DVD. In addition to downloadable games, GameCube, and Wii discs, the console can play DVD movies when it is equipped with an enabling accessory. Two slots are available for memory cards, and two USB ports can support a variety of first and thirdparty accessories.
The console itself is small and sleek. Its dimensions are often compared to the size and shape of "a stack of three DVD cases." A custom stand can be used to hold the console on its edge and at an upward angle, for easier access to the disc slot, but Wii can also be operated while laying flat. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide



too bad i wasnt able to capture the fun last night on my camera. on the other hand, maybe that's a good thing because we were all so sweaty because of moving and playing too much hahaha!

so much for friendship

for the first time in my entire life, i felt betrayed by a friend. it was for me, one of the worst feelings ever. someone you trusted, someone you cared about, someone you loved, suddenly broke your heart without feeling even a little guilt. i hate her. i know, in time, i can forgive her but i know i can never forget the pain and the heartache she caused me.

crying over spilled milk

obviously, this is my first blog here. the main purpose of me making this site is to basically spill everything i want to say. honestly, im a very private person. i dont usually tell everyone i know how i feel or what i think. maybe because i dont want to be misjudged or i dont want to hurt anyone in particular of the things that i am saying. i only tell things to my best friends. but i've recently discovered that telling things to more people rather than just my bestfriend helps you recover or help you move on quickly. that's why i created this. to be able to tell more people how i feel without the fear of hurting anyone in particular. i hope this can help me and help you, the person reading this, in any way it can.
