living life with a soundtrack

A beautiful day!

Saying goodbye to something you have gotten accustomed to is much like a breakup...abrupt...like nobody saw it coming...it's a heartbreak...and you imagine your life going on without the ritual...without the familiarity...moving away from the beat. initially you felt the lost identity...you thought of the why's and the what-ifs....there may be answers to your questions but you're still miserable anyway...

You want to hear words or explanations to make you feel better (you don't know exactly what they are, but somehow feels right and good once you hear it). Then there's hatred....but I'm old enough to move on and to decide not to get hooked on hatred.

Enough of that.

Whatever my concept of love was then, even if it's flawed, it is still love in its imperfections. Now that I am older, I can choose the concept of love that actually functions in the real world, not just in theory. I know it would be better....

I'm in LOVE with life, with my daughter, and with YOU! ...(thanks for keeping the sanity ha ha..)

Memories

Interesting how memory works...

When we relive the past, it is always an attempt to remember good memories rather than bad ones. Or if ever you had bad memories of the person, you still try to think of the details which would make you realize instead that despite the pain, the hurt, the grudge, the experience still taught you life's lessons.

..I'm surprised at how I can still play guitar notes, by memory?...Imagine I can still play those notes I learned in gradeschool without the effort of actually recalling it. It's like a rehearsed attempt...an instinct...It's like my hands are guided to the fret which embraces the same hands tipping on it (ok, I'm still the same music lover, but the guitar is new, of course).

...I was laughing at how Rara was able to "memorize" the Toy Story plot...OK it's not that she can actually understand why Woody got jealous of Buzz Lightyear. While we're both watching the movie, she always acts out the gestures done by the vivid character on the screen. She even knows the dialogue !! (still garbled of course). They say it's normal for kids to have that kind of sharp memory, but just the same, I am amazed!

''''I wanted life to be this way, just a little bit of love could mean so much''''

: Name: Jingks; Location: Philippines

Born on the date when people wouldn't miss sharing a gift, raised in a cool place where we give prominence to the letter "R" (in our town's spoken language, most of the Tagalog words with letter "D" are replaced with letter "R"), and now living and working south of somewhere, with a very colorful life soundtrack. My videoke national anthem is "Goodtimes" by Edie Brickell I am shallow - a decent mug of tea with milk pleases me ; and I am deep - I usually trail socio-political news and issues especially when there is probe in aid of legislation (sabi sa inyo, malalim e ha ha). My personality is very much defined by my iPod music collection. I have a passion for singing and usually takes extra efforts to be discreet and resist the overwhelming urge to sing for hours. Don't worry, the mic still has a chance to leave my hand, when too-mainstream tunes come in.
