Last Song Syndrome

Swept Away

Christopher Cross / Paolo Santos

I never had anything happen so fast

I took one look and I shattered like glass

I guess I let it show 'cause your smile told me you knew

That you're everything I ever wanted at once

There's no holding this heart when it knows what it wants

And I never wanted anything more than to know you

I was swept away

No one in the world but you and I

Gotta find a way to make you feel the way that I do

I was swept away

Without a warning

Like night when the morning begins the day

I was swept away



And so it begins

This journey of love

The summer wind carries us to places all our own

The words of a look

The language of touch

The way that you want me means so much

And I never wanted anything more than to love you



Seeing my tomorrows in your eyes

I was swept away



I hope I wake up soon

I'm a victim of that crazy moon



The very first time you said my name

I knew it would never sound the same

Something about me is changed forever

***sigh...***

      but i guess it's safe to say, baby... safe to say that i'm officially missing you...



damn, can't get that song out of my head.

      FPJ is running for president. I never thought I would resort to writing that on my blog -- because I only write the truth -- and well, it is the truth.

      Do you know how it feels to not want to believe? How it feels to be living a dream, although you're terribly afraid because it's fast turning into a nightmare? That's how I am feeling right now. But as I stared at my TV set and listened to FPJ spew out words that are impossible not to be laden with politics (oh the horror), I could feel it sink, no, crash into me. It was almost tangible.

      I am a registered voter. On May 2004 I will be writing the name of a person I believe, a person I want to lead me and my fellow Pinoys, a person I trust would bring a brighter future for me and (possibly) my children. One thing is for sure, it will not be Fernando Poe, Jr. But if majority of my fellow Filipinos do choose him, I submit myself to the power and authority of democracy.

      When that happens, I want to be a good citizen and say that I will support my president (even if it's FPJ) -- and I say that with a straight face. I'm not gonne like it, but hey... I'll willingly do my part to attain a united and peaceful Philippines.

One Score Ago...

      I had my 20th birthday celebration yesterday. And those who stayed late were lucky to witness my first encounter with drunkenness. Heheh.

      But still, it wasn't too bad a sight... I didn't throw up or anything but my friends said I was really madaldal already, beyond my usual talkataive self. :) And I have to admit that my vision and sense of balance were waning towards the end of the night, add to that the fact that I wasn't wearing my glasses. :D

      It's actually kinda cool... I've never been drunk before and it felt nice to be disoriented even for just a few hours. Heheh... weird, but true. I'm looking forward to my next drunken experience. I'm guessing it will be soon, maybe six days from now. :)
