Stuck in the 90's

luv this guy!

My midlifing now is consist of the sudden urge to look at photo albums with my old photos during the happy days. Or emailing my friends and talk about plans of getting together. It's a mixed feelings of joy and sadness when, at the spur of the moment, memories come back as brought about by things which I associate with my feelings at that time (even as simple as smelling a familiar scent or hearing a familiar song). Suddenly, I'm being transported back to the exact time when that particular association nurtured my senses.

Aah talk about songs. I don't know, but I have this particular liking for Eraserheads songs (then and now). It's like the soundtrack of the beautiful days of my life, which I believe were colorful enough to make me ache for more of that similar days, when all I can feel is the power of my guts, the warmth of the love of my friends and roommates, and being the "well-liked" me. Back then, I am an Ely-worshipper. My heart appreciates everything that he's singing, his poetry, his chant.

So much for my aching....nowadays, Eheads' songs dominate my iPod song list which I listened to every single day. Listening to their songs liberate my mind as well. It's like I'm listening to the endless stories of my barkada (which I truly enjoyed) . It may sound sooo mababaw for others but listening to music is zen to me. When I was younger, I can stand to lock myself in my room for hours.... just being there...listening to music....

''''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.
