My first buddy giving me a Valentine's treat!
Watching a mister hugging his miss from the back while hearing mass.
A random toddler I was sitting next to in the jeep holding me by the arm on my way home :)
Since I'm talking about touch, here's how my second buddy "touched" me during their TN. Thanks ha! S. A. D. Hahaha. Kaya daw nagwala after. Haha. Yummy cupcakes by Celina anyway.
To worry, worry, super-scurry Call the troops out in a hurry This is what we've waited for This is it boys, this is war
You must know... surely, you must know it was all for you. You are too generous to trifle with me. I believe you spoke with my aunt last night, and it has taught me to hope as I'd scarcely allowed myself before. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on. *
Because I really really really love Pride and Prejudice, the movie. Because I really really really love this accent. Because I really really really love Elizabeth Bennet. Because I really really really would love a Mr. Darcy. Because I really really really love their love story. Because I really really really really really am hopelessly romantic. Sometimes.
Our prof made us watch Before Sunrise in 113 today. Since I am, secretly, a sucker for sweet and romantic-slash-almost-cheesy lines, and maybe because it's also Valentine's season, I was captured by the following poem. It was written and uttered by a street poet in Vienna--in the movie, that is. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
And maybe take time to watch Before Sunrise. Maybe make it your movie date this Valentine's. Haha :)
Daydream delusion, limousine eyelash Oh baby with your pretty face Drop a tear in my wineglass Look at those big eyes See what you mean to me Sweet-cakes and milkshakes I'm a delusion angel I'm a fantasy parade I want you to know what I think Don't want you to guess anymore You have no idea where I came from We have no idea where we're going Lodged in life Like branches in a river Flowing downstream Caught in the current I carry you You'll carry me That's how it could be Don't you know me? Don't you know me by now?
Valentine's is on Sunday, less than 6 days away. While every sweet couple prepare cheesy surprises for each other, and the love-less struggle to keep their heads above the flooding saccharine scents, I have found love in another group of people.
The past week made me feel so jumbled-up--more confused than ever in this certain thing. Maybe I've been locking things up inside for too long already. 3 bottles down, and alas! The breakdown. The catastrophe. Their bewilderment. Ha.
T for the trust, support, and talks--and breakdowns and heart-to-hearts! S for being like a brother. Ce for being such a keeper. K for listening no matter what. Jc for being cute and driving us to Math no matter the time, or our state is haha. Jn for being there to make us smile. Ch for being up for anything. R for the brotherly jeers and super warm hugs. I hope you know how much I appreciate the little things you do :)
Thank you. And even though most of us have aches this valentine's, I hope we do not forget there are a lot of things--AND WHOLE LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE-- we could love :)
Happy Love's Day! In advance. I love you.
Laughing with your pretty mouth Laughing with your broken eyes Laughing with your lover's tongue In a lullaby
"Liberation, I guess, is everybody getting what they want, without knowing the whole truth. Or in other words, liberation finally amounts to being free from things we don't like in order to be enslaved by things we approve of. Here's to the eternal tandem."
ONE OF THOSE CHEESY SONGS. Made me laugh! SUUUUPER! Remember all the pick-up lines from waaaaaaay back? HERE THEY ARE! HAHA. I'm so sorry for being very shallow this time. But it's too cute. HAHA!
Pustiso ka ba? Kasi, you know I can’t smile without you
Hindi tayo tao, hindi rin tayo hayop, bagay tayo, bagay talaga
Apoy ka ba? Kasi alab-alab I love you!
Exam ka ba, kasi sasagutin kita agad-agad, naman kasi
Posporo ka ba? E di posporo rin ako... Para match (PINAKACHEESY! HAHAHA)
