Memories of TAFT

Where: The Moon Group Office
Hearing What: The Calling- Stigmatized

Well its really a very chilly day here in the office (I dont know if it's me or the airconditioning is just to cold). Anyweiz I have nothing muh to do for today so I decided to start working on this new post. While on my way here in Alabang I decided to take snapshots of TAFT Ave and guess what, I came up with a very nice idea for a post. So even thou Im still shaking of my writing rust, hope you could enjoy this post and please feel free to comment on whatever things or elements you find disgusting or interesting. By the way I would like to thank the guys who left their messages and comments on my cbox. And kudos to Tita Andrea for her champion Bacon and Egg meal, that I had for breakfast. Hehehe.

Monday March 8, 2006 was the last time that I’ve been to TAFT Avenue. For 3 years this historical district in Manila was a very memorable and significant place for me. It holds a lot of wonderful memories, moments and even bad ones. But over all Taft Ave is one place that played a very important part in my life. And that life was filled with love, passion, care, happiness, pain, sorrow and separation. From the busy streets of Malvar and Pedro Gil to the Glowing Lights of Baywalk. The sights and sounds of Robinson's Place, and the mouthwatering treats from Mc Do-P.Gil Branch. Evreything reminds me of the good ol' days. When evrything was still sound and beautiful. Manong's Siopao, The Tambayan PC Shop, The Pitt Grillery, Mini Stop, Starbucks, Twister Fries, Power Books, Nike, G-Box, Jolibee, Oody's, Friday's etc. Everything and evrywhere holds a very special moment in my heart. So oncce again let's look back at the sights and sounds of my beloved TAFT.

Here are some of the pics that Iv'e taken earlier.



About the Song: Well this song has a very interesting effect on me. When I first read the lyrics, I was able to relate and really feel the song (that explains the LSS that I’ve been having lately). But the weird thing is that instead of me being so emotionally flushed or lonely, the song actually brightens up my day. Yeah its really weird, cause when most people who had heartaches in the past would literally use this song as a buffer, I on the other hand actually feed on the song to help me get through my day. Well the lyrics are very straightforward. While one person tries to break free and immerse themselves into the changes that life has in-stored for them, there is another who tries to stay in that world that the two of them had built. And for that person being apart could mean a new beginning or a bright change for both of them, while for the other it is the release he or she have been longing for. Change is always a welcome solution, but sometimes there are far better things than change.

Stigmatized-The Calling
If I give up on you I give up on me
If we fight what's true, will we ever be
Even God himself and the faith I knew
Shouldn't hold me back, shouldn't keep me from you

Chorus:
Tease me, by holding out your hand
Then leave me, or take me as I am
And live our lives, stigmatized


I can feel the blood rushing though my veins
When I hear your voice, driving me insane
Hour after hour day after day
Every lonely night that I sit and pray

Chorus
We live our lives on different sides,
But we keep together you and I
Just live our lives, stigmatized

We'll live our lives, We'll take the punches everyday
We'll live our lives I know we're gonna find our way

I believe in you
Even if no one understands
I Believe in you, and I don't really give a damn
If we're stigmatized
We live our lives on different sides
But we keep together you and I
We live our lives on different sides


We're gonna live our lives
Gotta live our lives
We're gonna live our lives
We're gonna live our lives, Gonna live our lives,
Stigmatized
"It's been 4 days and I havent heard from the Bird. I presume it found a better nest and a better bird. Hopefully not.
For the Bird:
  • A memory is what is left when something happens and does not completely unhappen
  • Everyone has memories - but only a fool stores the past in the future
  • We do not remember days; we remember moments

My New Office: A new space for a new face


Where:The Moon Group Office Hearing What: Alicia Keys-A woman's Worth

Well it’s been a month since my knee surgery and I've finally moved to another company called "The Moon Group" over in Alabang. Well I usually start my day at 6 (damn used to wake up an hour and half later when I was with Solar). Well waking up earlier doesn’t mean that I'm always the early bird. Before it used to take me an hour and a half to get from my place in Sampaloc to Bel-Air. But now it takes me at least 2 hours to get to my new office. Well that really doesn’t matter coz of a 10 AM "clock in time". I now take two bus rides rather than an FX and bus route that I used to do before.

My route now requires me to get a ride to the Ayala-Taft Intersection and from there another bus would take me all the way to Alabang-Zapote road right across Honda Alabang. Well that’s a plus for me coz I do get the chance to get that "extra" sleep (even before I pass by Pedro Gil and Malvar...more info on this statement on my future posts) for the earlier wake up time that I’m used to doing now.

Well what can I say about my new office. Well two words love it! Ok for starters I now have my own room and not jut a space or a cubicle but a room! Sometimes I can’t believe how much privacy I have now compared to my former office. Now I don’t have to worry about people watching everything that I’m browsing or doing. Well it’s a good thing my boss loaded up my desk with the stuff any office guy could die for. I have Pentium 4 powered 1.80 Ghz pc with at least 1gb of ram, enough to render almost any Photoshop and Video Editor outputs. (Well it also helps with my Winkawaks gaming hehe rival schools and Zelda runs smoothly without any lag). I have my own scanner, printer and best of all, my very own digital tablet. Sweet!

Well honestly speaking it took me quite some time before I finally settled in with my new environment. But overall it’s been one hell of a time. And by the way I’m working again with one of the best persons that I’ve ever been with. And that person is Mr. Ron Regis my former Dept.Head from Solar Entertainment. Well I’ve included some pictures for you guys. Well that’s it for now. I’m not really into my blogging mood today, and I want to apologize if my initial post is a bit bland. But I do promise to do better next time. Well have a nice day guys and hope to hear from you.

P.S: - Feel free to drop a line or two on my Chat Box so I can plug your Blog (if you have one and vice versa)

-I haven’t heard from the bird for three days now, guess I have to wait a little bit longer or maybe it's in another nest

-I want to say thank you to Kimmy Edwards for her wonderful words of advise and comfort

-Still restless this past few days. Sleeping is more of a time out (from the mental and emotional Stress) rather than a period of rejuvenation.

-A message for the Bird:

  • Promise only what you can deliver. Then deliver more than you promise.
  • Promises are like babies: easy to make, hard to deliver.

Welcome

Hearing What: Rick Price's Heaven Knows Acoustic

About the song: Well it really describes what I underwent in my love life before. I know its kind of cheesy but then again life must go on. Other people might require changes in their lives, but for me things are a little less complicated and I must try to live my life again.

I have no regrets and things may not be as fun as they were before but definitely someone from the past or someone new may give me the answer, and I’m definitely ready for anything. But there is one thing that I would definitely not do. And that is to deprive someone of hope. Coz I know what’s it like and I can’t stand seeing someone loose his or her hopes…for it may be the last thing that they have.

Well this is my New Blog and I want to thank you for visiting it. I’m just putting in all of the finishing touches, and all of the necessary file associations so that you and I can enjoy a more interactive and more viewer friendly blog. Here I would tackle most of my everyday experience and would also cater to those of my close friends old or new. So sit back and relax for the upcoming days would be filled with lots and lots of reading goodies for my visitors and me. Please feel free to leave a message on my chat box so that I myself could help you plug your blog and vice versa.

Remember, life aint always about shit!

Thanks you and God Bless!
