jan

The month of January was not a generally good month for me. Nothing bad happened, but I just don't feel good with it. I am always sick this month- colds, cough, fever, ETC. Actually I am considering going to the doctor for a major check up. I feel I have a disease or something. I hope wala.

I am also always tired this past weeks. My energy is drained sometimes. I wanted to talk to my boss about my career plan, but never had the chance to do it. I don't want to be stuck where I am now.

My cellphone, laptop were unusable. Both broke all of a sudden. I am currently borrowing a phone from my cousin. And so I don't have the numbers of all people, since my phonebook was saved in the old phone. My laptop, on the other hand, didn't work due to its damaged charger. I had to pay almost 1k for repairs.

I feel February will still be the same with all the Valentine shit (bitter).
I hope I'm wrong.

This is an old song, but the message just fits my life now. I liked this song before, forgot about it, then suddenly heard it while browsing my laptop files. It speaks about my current situation. Well, the chorus part mostly.

Looking For A Place To Land
by Dakota Moon

There was a man in his car trying to talk to me
He drove a Pontiac, red, 1963
He shouted numbers and neighborhood streets
I said, "I wouldn't know, I wouldn't know"

And then I said to myself, "What's he lookin' for"
An illegitimate son with an open door
Or else the calling from God he could not ignore

I guess in my own way
Just like him I am wandering, wondering, runaway
But aren't we all just?

Looking for a place to land
Looking for a friend to call
Looking for a destination, conversation, fascination
To protect us from the fall

Looking for the one to love
Looking for a brand new day
Looking for a reason to stand
Looking for a place to land

There was a girl on a train out of Santa Fe
She found her husband in bed with her sister, hey
She left her soul and her kids when she ran away

Where do you go? Where do you go?

Sometimes the love that you lose is the love you find
Sometimes the pain is the doorway to peace of mind
No matter how hard you try, you just can't rewind
Now that you know, where do you go?

I guess in my own way
Just like the her I'm wandering, wondering, runaway
But aren't we all just?

Looking for a place to land
Looking for a friend to call
Looking for a destination, conversation, fascination
To protect us from the fall

Looking for the one to love
Looking for a brand new day
Looking for a reason to stand
Looking for a place to land

I guess in my own way
Just like the them I'm a wandering, wondering runaway
But aren't we all just?

2 months worth

Yikes! I have not updated my blog for 2 months!! This is probably the longest hiatus in my blogging life. But so are many of my blogger friends. They too have stopped blogging for some weeks now. I guess everyone is just too preoccupied with work and with the recent Holiday break.

What happened in the past 2 months?
I don't really remember many things. But one major highlight was my trip to Singapore. I attended a journalists' meeting. It was the first time I traveled to a country alone with no idea whatsoever. I just followed instructions given to me on how to get from airport to the residence. I toured Singapore on foot alone. It was an experience! Singapore is really cool!

Another highlight were my trips to Bacolod. I went there for Christmas, returned to Manila, then went back to Bacolod for New Year, then took the first flight to Manila on January 1.

Jetsetter mode ako noong December! hahaha. It was the time wherein I was in all 4 airports in Manila in a span of a few weeks (NAIA 1, 2, 3 and Manila Domestic-- first time ko mag Zest Air hehehe)

And yes, I watched at IMAX for the very first time last weekend. It was weird at first but eventually felt used to it. Avatar was visually stimulating!

I hope I can do more this 2010 and travel more too!
I will also try to update this blog of mine.
