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
