As Red As A Tomato

Go to fullsize image

I'd get red as a tomato
I'd blush 'til my face turns red
I can't help it, I just do blush
When I listen to their teases said.

If he's with me they tease me
If he's not--I get teased, too
What is it they really want?
I really don't know what to do.

My ears turn pink like the shirt I wear
As I feel their eyes on me
They look at me and then at him
Their eyes filled with curiosity.

And so I am placed into this hot seat
Stuck in one tight spot and cornered
They start to tease and sings some songs
"Did he hear what they said?," I wondered.

So yes, I felt like a tomato then
With my face as red as it could ever be
We left the place to head for class
With me blushing furiously.

As we were walking, a blockmate of mine
Stops and shows me a car's plate
Guess what was written? 'Twas his name etched on it
What a funny twist of fate!

I guess I can't really do much
Whenever I get teased at
I just deal with it, laugh and blush
Cos they'll soon stop after that.

(P.S. Nix, the tomato picture above does NOT represent my monthly visitor--it represents my FACE. haha XD)

Song of the Day:
(courtesy of Charles who insisted that that was the first song that popped into his head during the supposed "encounter" at Manang's earlier today. He said the "encounter" looked like it came straight out from the video of "Color Everywhere". Galing pa kay Christian Bautista diba? Whatever Charles, Uana, MM, and the rest of my "loveable" blockmates (of whom I wanna personally wring their necks...hehehe)--and stop singing the Nips song...it drives me crazy! hahahaha. Pardon the incorrect sentence structure, but at this point, I couldn't care less. :P)

Color Everywhere - Christian Bautista
Used to see in black and white
Never any in between
Waiting all the love of my life
To come into my dreams
Everything is shades of gray
Never any blues or greens
Needed someone else to turn to
Someone who could help me learn and see
All the beauty that was waiting for me

Chorus
You,you put the blue back in the sky
You put the rainbow in my eyes
A silver lining in my prayers
And now there's color everywhere
You put the red back in the rose
Just when i needed it the most
You came along to show you care
And now there's color everywhere, everywhere

My life is so predictable
Never any mystery
But ever since you shined the light
All of that is history and now i have a hand to hold
And a reason to believe,yeah.
If someone in my life worth living for
I was hangin' around just wishing on a star
To put the happiness back in my heart

Chorus

Left those hazy days behind me
Never to return again
Now they're just a faded memory
Ohh
Cuz baby its all so clear to see
The beauty that is waiting there for me

Chorus

And now i have a hand to hold
And a reason to believe

Freaky Friendster.
Ehrm...someone apparently sent me a Friendster message last night. I think that person happens to be the ex of my friend back in High School. Here's what he said:

"Hi ganda mo. Hi poh..ganda mo po dyan sa pic..la lang na-appreciate ko lng...pede ba kita maging ka txtm8 man lng?? tnx!!"

Freaky. I had chills all over after reading that message. He sounded like a stalker. *shudders at the thought*


***

Haha this is my second post for the day. Weee...
Today was a pretty good day.
I'd like to end this entry with this message:

You told me to take a good look at you
Take a good look into your eyes
And so I tried to take a good look
But you avoided...I wonder why

Is there something you want to tell me?
Or something you want to confide?
Know that you can always count on me
At times when you simply want to run and hide.


Take a good look into my eyes
And tell me what you see
I tried looking at yours but you wouldn't...
Tell me...what do you see in me?

haha it sucks.
So much for impromptu...

You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be.

And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now


Isn't it sooo romantic? Haha. So goes Day Oh-I-Don't-Know of having "Iris" as an LSS song. The last song I heard playing on the radio in the car was "Iris". Oddly enough, it was also the song Nix was singing/humming when he came to Lab and propped his bag on our Lab table. It was also the song that got stuck in our heads throughout the rest of the day (including Botany Lec in which I resorted to writing the lyrics of the song and having Nix fill out the ones I forgot). haha :P Not that I'm complaining..."Iris" is LOVE. It's my senti-slash-emo song and I have loved it eversince I can remember. Don't you just wanna swoon and sigh and faint all over whenever you'd hear that song?^^

Botany Lab was "What?!". Tatawa nalang ako. Glad to know that my lab-mates were as clueless and lazy as I am. Whehehehe XD The Lab technician (I'm so sorry I forgot your name) was kind enough to offer to do all the work for me, but of course I had to turn him down because it was really embarassing and unfair for the rest who were working their butts off with the microscope stuff.

Saw Sir Claveria before Botany Lec. Nix and I were hanging out in the "Cave" when Sir passed by with a surprised look on his face when he saw both of us waving at him. Awww...I miss Sir's "let's talk politics" and his "Because-Ateneo-lost-the-game-in-the-UAAP-you-guys-will-be-given-a-difficult-test speeches(?)." hahaha

Went with Maika and Marc to Eliazo afterwards. I was kidding around that I was the third wheel (I didn't want to go with them but they wouldn't take "No" for an answer) and all that, but then I stopped teasing them because I know it it feels like being teased about with someone (and Marc was teasing me back so I shut my mouth haha). :P

"Panalo" Quotes of the Day:

SCENE 1
During Botany Lab, the root of all our insanity for the day...
(It went something like this)

Raffy (to me): Diba name mo Michelle Angela or something? Basta parang Michaelangelo?
Me (to Raffy): Noo...
Raffy (to me): Oo kaya! Ikaw si Michelle Angela!
Me (to Raffy and looks at Nix): Hindi kaya! Name ko Angela, hindi Michelle. Diba Nix? Sabihin mo sa kanya kung ano talaga pangalan ko.
Nix: Yeah, siya si Angela.
Raffy: Hindi ba siya si Michelle Angela?
Nix: Hindi. Angela Eliza siya eh.
Me (to Raffy): Sabi ko kasi sa iyo eh. Ayaw mo maniwala. Mukha ba akong Michelle?
Nix (shows to Raffy my name on a scotch tape): Tingnan mo, Angela Eliza nakasulat diba? Pangalan niya iyan, hindi Michelle Angela.

haha...Raffy's crazy. But then again, weren't we all crazy during Lab? :P

SCENE 2
At Manang's whilst waiting for my PE class to start...

Me (to Gary): I didn't recognize you sa SEC kanina. I was like, "Si Gary ba iyon?"
Gary (to me): When?
Me: Kanina lang. I was waving at you from behind the stairs...
Gary: Ah, kayo pala iyon. I didn't see you guys. I was just waving because you were waving. :P
Lester (to me): Angela, anong PE mo?
Me (to Lester): Modern Jazz.
Lester: Ah, so classmate mo si Gary?
Me: Oo...nakalimutan mo na ba? Just last week you called me from the windows and asked me to call Gary cos you wanted to make fun of him..."
Lester: Ay oo nga noh! haha Sorry..nakalimutan ko eh...

When Everything's Made to Be Broken...
...I just want you to know who I am.

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am.

That song has been stuck in my head eversince I saw the lyrics of that song from Nix's blog a few days ago. See the power of LSS? Poor me. haha XD Kidding...I LOVE that song. It makes me wanna swoon and faint and sing and listen to someone playing it on the guitar (any takers? haha). But seriously speaking, that song holds dear to my heart because I can actually relate to it (sans the fact of me being sentimental about it).

I wish that people would just stop, for once, to look beyond me and understand me for who I am--not for what I am. People would often tell me how they envy me and my supposed "perfect" life, and how they wished that they could be me instead. They think my life's so perfect--that I have everything I could ever need and want and all that stuff. But the thing is, people judge me based on WHAT I am, not WHO I am. I mean, how many people actually know the REAL me? You can most certainly count them with the fingers on your hand, that's for sure. Maybe it's because I don't really "click" with people immediately--it takes sometime before I can actually trust someone, and it's quite rare for me to trust people immediately.

Haha..okay, someone's getting a bit sentimental with this entry. :P

***

Had our weekly cell group with Maika, Bobby, Jodwin, Nikki, and the rest after having some ice cream for snack. Yum! XD After cell, Marc and Drew came along and started having these "guy talks" (read: horny) with Bobby. I was kinda surpirsed when Marc whacked (yes, whacked) me on the head with his ES book. Hello?! Am I just simply seen as one of the guys, to the point that I get whacked at like some buddy-buddy guy? For Pete's sake, I am a girl.

When will anyone ever see me as someone more than "one of the guys"---a girl who has actual feelings and deserves to be treated like a girl and not "one of the guys"?

*sigh* Maybe if I started being all girly, they wouldn't treat me like a dude. Yech.

Life...

You Have a Melancholic Temperament
Introspective and reflective, you think about everything and anything.
You are a soft-hearted daydreamer. You long for your ideal life.
You love silence and solitude. Everyday life is usually too chaotic for you.

Given enough time alone, it's easy for you to find inner peace.
You tend to be spiritual, having found your own meaning of life.
Wise and patient, you can help people through difficult times.

At your worst, you brood and sulk. Your negative thoughts can trap you.
You are reserved and withdrawn. This makes it hard to connect to others.
You tend to over think small things, making decisions difficult.

Your Element is Earth
Your power color: yellow
Your energy: balancing
Your season: changing of seasons

Dedicated and responsible, you are a rock to your friends. You are skilled at working out even the most difficult problems.

Low key and calm, you are happiest when you are around loved ones.

Ambitious and goal oriented, you have long term plans to be successful.

A Lazy Sunday.
We had our occasional family lunch at the Crowne Plaza. My father usually eats there for breakfast and/or lunch during weekdays, so he's pretty well-known in there. It's kinda cute how he storms in the area and acts like he owns the whole hotel with him conversing with the captain waiters, the head chefs, the concierge, and the people at the business area of the hotel, and making some suggestions to them on how to improve the place. :P And he's sorta like buddy-buddy with Gokongwei, who eats there everyday. haha XD Cute. My father's sense of exquisite taste and clasiness with a hint of his wonderful sense of humor never fails to amuse me.

Over lunch I was having a conversation with my mother on what I would be wearing for Christmas. Turns out that she wants me to be lady-like this Christmas. So yes, I will be wearing a dress. hahaha XD

Just finished preparing dinner for the family.
I don't know what else to blog, so I'll just make up a poem. :D



The Necklace
Here I am, with my heart laid bare
Around my neck, my heart lays there.
It is fragile, can't you see?
Take it as a token to remind you of me.
Please take care of it, I ask of you.
Don't lose it and treasure it like I do.
My heart is fragile, please don't break it.
I'm still here loving you every single bit.
So please I ask you to care for my heart,
Remember my love for you though we may be apart.


haha it sucks...
Oh well...
That's what happens with an impromptu poem...
Trying to make stuff up for the sake of rhyme
I bet that poem wouldn't even cost a dime.
hahaha :P

P.S. Charles will be featured on TV in Y-Speak (daw). haha XD Cedrick naman oh...masyado nang publicized block natin. Block celeb! haha :P Couldn't get enough of our footage in GMA last time, could you? :D
Your Birth Month is May
Unique and creative, you seek your own path in life. You love change and are able to adapt to any situation.

Your soul reflects: Sweetness, joy, and a complete life.

Your gemstone: Emerald

Your flower: Lily of the Valley

Your colors: Yellow, red, and green

You Raise Me Up...
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

-Josh Groban, You Raise Me Up

My life is boring...
Someone spice it up.

Your Eyes Should Be Brown

Your eyes reflect: Depth and wisdom

What's hidden behind your eyes: A tender heart

Because of you.
Because of you I have learned that the best things in life are for free.
Because of you I have strived to be the best I can be.
Because of you there's still a reason to smile through it all.
Because of you I know that there's someone to catch me when I fall.
Because of you I have found a reason for living.
Because of you I have found meaning in everything.
Because of you I have enjoyed it when I laughed or cried.
Because of you I'm never alone for I have someone by my side.
Because of you I feel lucky enough to thank the heavens above.
But most of all, because of you I have learned to love.

Congratulations, AL, for apparently having an interesting life...
So interesting people actually read the junk you put in here. haha XD

Is that good? haha XD And to think I thought I was weird enough...

Forgotten Friend.
Too many months have passed.
Too many words left unspoken.
Too many thoughts going through our heads.
Too many laughters and tears.
Too many memories once shared.
Too little time spent these days.
Too many laughters and tears.
Too many heartaches and pains.
What has become of us?

With this I've come to realize
That I am
NOTHING.
Forgotten.
Nothing
But a faded memory.
Once someone important in your life,
Forgotten.
It's stupid to hold on to something
That I believed was true.
But then I've come to realize
That you were holding back
And now it feels like you're gone...
Forever.
In the same sense
I am
Forgotten
Like a faded memory
That can never go back
To where I belong...
A forgotten friend
That's me.

Modern Jazz was fun...I'm getting the hang of it. Plus, Gary made modern jazz-ing bearable, especially when I found out that my beloved blockie abandoned me to cut PE and watch a movie at Eastwood. haha :P. Lester is a meanie. Gary's more than half the man you guys are because he's brave enough to take on Modern Jazz. haha :P

Just got home from the TA play. Charles and I were tired and we both wanted to go home ASAP. Charles should be thankful my father was the one who was fetching me. haha XD My father was making small chat with him in the car, but Charles was kinda silent. I guess it's because it was definitely a LONG day for us all...we were tired and sleepy. Glad there's no classes tomorow!

I Need a Reason, A Meaning In My Life...
Dear family, friends, stalkers and stalkees,

I won't be around until tonight because I've got an ACP class to attend to and a TA play to watch. haha XD We just had our Calculus test. Had no reaction afterwards. Dunno what the results would be. Hope I pass. God help me.

I also got a locker together with Dondee (yay! Lockermate! haha XD) at the SS Bldg. If anyone's interested to know (not that there's anyone interested in knowing), my locker's at SECA #94. Dondee's is at 95. Asteeg. :P

Current LSS: "Take This Love" by Joe Pizzulo courtesy of my father's CD player in the car that plays the song over and over again...

What is this feeling I'm feeling?
Why do I feel so torn apart?
And why do I carry such a heavy heart?
I know I don't care what other people may say
And that I've constantly tried to ignore it all...
...all the signs that come my way
...all the things I've been hearing.
But is ignoring something that's spread flat out on your face
Similar to denying the very existence of that something?

He Said He Wasn't.
He said he wasn't special.
He said he wasn't good enough.
He said that he was powerless.
He said that he felt like nothing.

But he was wrong.

For to her, he was special.
To her, he was the greatest.
To her, he was Superman.
To her, he meant everything.

And she was right.
