Ber is my beginning

September One. Wow. There will be Christmas carols as early as tomorrow once again on our radios-- an old tradition our local djs do, to wake us up and tell us, Christmas is just about to make its warm presence felt, again.

And i love it. I love it when I hear Christmas songs and Jose Mari Chan on the radio. It just gives me this relaxing sensation which, for your information, is sometimes scarce due to severe problems that are sometimes entwined with work. Anyway, I am very looking forward to Christmas this year because my family wasnt really able to wrap ourselves to the happy Christmas spirit last year. So there, I am quite excited about Christmas 2006. I have wishes inside my chicken little brain already but I dont want to divulge them yet. For now, I am secretly counting the days and praying for happy and good things to arrive, now that it's the start of ber months once again.

Another great thing about "ber" is... well, after September is October, and uh, October happens to be my favorite month, because uh, October, once again, happens to be my birth month. Yeah, I am a Libran who only has a few sense of parity in her body. By the way, I will be 25 this year. Pucha, I am in my mid-20s na but I don't feel like one. Anyway, ano ba naman ang pakiramdam ng isang 25 year old? Too subjective. Wag na lang. Ill rephrase my mid-20s sentence: "Pucha, I am in my mid-20s na! Exciting!" There! Period! :D

Anyhoo, it's just nice to look forward to something. I dunno yet if my secret wishes will be granted or if my birthday will be a blast this year, but just the thought of them, they add up to my happy cells already and what can be a greater feeling than that?

Every once in a while, I think it will be really nice if we shift our perspectives to simpler things; things that are uncertain but things that bring great joys to our hearts.

Happy thoughts. Don't make them scarce, and dont let them die at the back of your head, bring them in, and think of how this Christmas will be so much beautiful than last year's.

Beautiful Window

I looked at you,
I had to take your picture.

In a dark old limestone church,
You brought light and life
with your funky colors.

You were a blend
Of medieval and modern ages.

You were the prettiest
You deserved to be up there,
where no punks could reach you.

Just don't fade please.

I Love Basking in the Sun

You may change the color of my skin.
You may give me those irritating burns at my back
Or even at my face
And at the tip of my nose...
But I don't really care,
I love you Sun for shining down on me,
I love you when you burn my skin,
I love you when you travel through my body
And sting me with your warmth.
It tickles and it prickles.
But I don't really care.
I just love basking in you.

Im Ecstatic!

Someone’s been busy hanging around with my player.

Corrine Bailey Rae!!! (artist behind famous song, “Put your Records on”)

If you love soul music, soft melody, passionate words and lines, CBR is just your way to go. Her songs are relaxing just like the way she sings them – with ease. This one never goes out of style; she’s ageless and her music is so calm you just want to listen to them over and over (me, I sing along… ).

My favorite cuts are "Like a Star", "Put Your Records On", "Trouble Sleeping".

I so love her and I love her more because she writes her own songs. I am just not sure which genre her music belongs to, but I don’t care because her kind doesn’t need one. She’s a genre on her own already.

Love her! (and the album art, wow, like it’s so meant for me, haha!)
