fighting temptation

i was watching today's episode on PreacherInBlueJeans, and the talk was about fighting temptations. then i got to read one of the blogs i frequent to, and as if by chance, it was talking too, about temptations.

"tukso, layuan mo ako!"

i'm staying up so late feigning concentration with my work as i struggle not to think of you. from time to time, i steal glances to your direction. nakaka-distract ka! knowing you're just a few meters away, silent in your dark corner, doesn't help me with these thoughts i'm trying to fight back. it's been a long time since i've tasted your sweet satisfaction. i still have a vivid memory of how soft and warm you can get. i can only smile thinking about the pleasures only you can give. oh how you make my mind go crazy!

but no, i'm not giving in. i'm turning a deaf ear to what my body is telling me. i'm not grabbing a furuta chocolate tonight, or any chocolate for that matter. i'm on a diet. bakit nga ba ako nakaharap sa kitchen? makes me so darn hungry!

conversations with other women

the woman: "My heart was broken."
the man: "So you married a cardiologist."

hmm.. i should be looking out for a cardiologist then.

----

these lines were from the movie, 'Conversations with other Women', (well, the third one is just my own personal thought).

i've always been a fan of heart-wrenching and romantic movies that have rich, virbose plot and still maintain to have wit and humor that charms the audience throughout its running.

if you enjoy movies like Before Sunset, then this is a must watch.

finally, twas the music of the night

two months ago, it was this....

then last night ...

... amazing, amazing, amazing (beyond words).

"Floating, falling, sweet intoxication", the Phantom has captivated me.

over you

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

-"over you", by chris daughtry

can't help but sing my heart out in this song. the lyrics says it all.

taking the backseat

i've been blog-hopping too much lately. well, this one particular blog i regularly visit, just had me thinking on his latest post about his friendster horoscope for april 1.

Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22)

Romance must take a backseat for a little while. You have other things to focus on.

i may not be a libra, but this horoscope definitely applies right now. enough about whether i should be dating friends or not. enough about the pressure everyone's rubbing on because of their wedding plans.

just enough about l-o-v-e.

i can't be swayed away from things i should focus on.

and yeah, i can hear chris daughtry singing "what about now? what about today?"

blogaholic-ness

oh, don't get me wrong on this.. i didn't get nominated for any category of the philippine blog awards, not even an invite to the event, to say the least. and it is a bit too late to do an april fool's post (i wasn't as ready like google).

i stumbled upon a post that opened a window to the world for me, blog-wise, that is. the very first philippine blog awards were given out last saturday. i wasn't there, of course. i never even heard about it until i checked on one of the blogs that i regularly visit. well, in the site, i found links to the blogsites that were nominated on the different categories (dapat lang naman may link!). i thought i was just going to read on a few blogs, as i also found others who didn't quite pick my interest. however, i fell into the chain-of-links trap, and ended up blog-hopping til the wee hours in the morning, and writing about it.

i could never pass up reading a good article, when i see one. i remember spending too much time rearranging my mother's old magazines as i tend to read an article to another before stacking them as i was ordered to. well, there's not much difference to that experience with what i'm doing right now, just replace each magazine with a blog link.

click, read, click, read, and click, read. that's all i did. mmm, too many interesting articles to pass up.

i might be drowsy when showing up for work later, and probably my cough would be getting worse. but i'm glad i bumped into the blog awards site. i think it's a really cool thing to celebrate all the pinoy bloggers out there.

so sick

i can't believe i'm down with flu once again. it's the second time this year, and it's still march! now i'm contemplating about taking the what-i-thought-was-useless flu vaccine, but that would probably cost a lot. dang, it pays a lot to be sick.
