Song of the Moment

Shot taken at Tokyo Tokyo. I will miss hanging out on a Saturday...



I have been searching for the lyrics of this song for the longest time, and now, I have found it...or actually Ami was the one who found it without effort.

So here goes:


Take This Love
by Sergio Mendes
album:
I know what you're thinking
Your eyes give you away
We've been talking all night long
And there's nothing left to say
It's a mutual emotion
Nothing's standing in the way

I've got this feelin' babe
That this was meant to be
You've been playing hard to get
I've waited patiently
It just keeps getting harder
There's a point of no return
'Cause the heat is in the moment
And the moment's in your hands

CHORUS
Take this love and let the night begin
(I want to give it all to you)
Time for you to show the way you feel
(You know how long I've waited)
I need a reason, a meaning in my life
So open up and take this love tonight

Too many wasted nights of hollow victories
But I know this time is diff'rent babe 'cause you mean so much to me
You're the answer to my question
And I need the answer now
'Cause the heat is in the moment
And the moment says it all

CHORUS
AD LIB
CHORUS

CHORUS 2:
Take this love and let the night begin
( I'll give it all to you!)
Time for you to show the way you feel
(You know how long I've waited!)
I need a reason, a meaning in my life
So open up and take this love...

Now, A word from the newest Weekend Rep...

I am currently here at work....Yup, it's a Sunday morning...early morning, so that means that I went to work on a Saturday night. Yes, you got that right...on a Saturday night! On a regular shift! (groan!) Yes, this is actually my first ever regular shift on a Saturday night. I am now a full pledged weekend rep. Hmp! Where did all those 2 years of loyal stay here at PS go? So much for seniority... I am actually at a new account right now...My third week tonight. It's a big leap for me since I left my comfort zone at Experian, where, I was living the very ideal life of an ATL ( as in NO calls twice a week, if you're lucky, you can go sometimes up to 4 times a week!), everyone looks up to you, everyone respects you and all... Then, out of craving for change, and due to peer influence ('tara na...sabay sabay tau mag ATP!'), I decided to join the bandwagon of ATP happy people and here I am, at a techy account, Earthlink, well, it's People PC actually, but techy nevertheless, and doing sales... Ha! Sales! Even though it's inbound sales, I never really imagined myself doing those sales pitches...but now I have to do it, everyday of my stay at here at PS. Thank goodness, even though I have to suffer retakes all throughout that entire training, (retake for the final exam and call certification), I can say I am doing good so far... My first QA is----- Tadah! 100% and so far, I was named top performer for the day last week! I deserve a pat on the back for that! Hehehe!

But that still does not change trhe fact that I am still a weekend rep...my restdays are thursdays and fridays. Thank goodness, I'll be on leave for the next 2 Saturdays... So that means, I just have to endure going to work on Sundays, but that's ok. I can live with that. I really thought when I woke up this morning that it was a Monday....but I really have to convince myself that I am going to work for Saturday shift, not Monday.... (drats!)

What did I do to desreve these breakouts on my face?????? One lesson to be learned..never ever, try a new product that is too good to be true..not all expensive products are right for your skin...sigh...hope this will all go away soon... I really can't take it!

I come to realize something (me and my neverending realizations), that I have to start going home....ALONE.

My Wonderwall in this Half-Life

I have to say..."Wow, can't believe it's already October....!"

This song suddenly crooned out of my headphones while I am here, spending my restday Thursday surfing the net... I also have another song that's playing on my mind right now.. both songs are old, but I still like it.
I'll just write more about my first week on the floor as a sales rep on my next entry... The field I dreaded the most before....Feeling a bit out of the blue right now, might be coming down with a cold, probably because of walking under the rain last Tuesday morning.... I really have to remember to bring an umbrella the next time..or maybe I should've accepted the offer for the underwear...(hehehe! 'll keep that to myself..)

"Wonderwall"

Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

Backbeat the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk along are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
I don't know how

Because maybe
You're gonna be the one saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now

And all the roads that lead to you were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
I don't know how

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after an
You're my wonderwall

Said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me

Half-Life

I'm awake in the afternoon
I fell asleep in the living room
and it's one of those moments
when everything is so clear

before the truth goes back into hiding
I want to decide 'cause it's worth deciding
to work on finding something more than this fear

It takes so much out of me to pretend
tell me now, tell me how to make amends

maybe, I need to see the daylight
to leave behind this half-life
don't you see I'm breaking down

lately, something here don't feel right
this is just a half-life
is there really no escape?
no escape from time
of any kind

I keep trying to understand
this thing and that thing, my fellow man
I guess I'll let you know
when i figure it out

but I don't mind a few mysteries
they can stay that way it's fine by me
and you are another mystery i am missing

It takes so much out of me to pretend

maybe, I need to see the daylight
to leave behind this half-life
don't you see I'm breaking down

Lately, something here don't feel right
this is just a half-life
is there really no escape?
no escape from time
of any kind

come on lets fall in love
come on lets fall in love
come on lets fall in love
again

'cause lately something here don't feel right
this is just a half-life,
without you I am breaking down

wake me, let me see the daylight
save me from this half-life
let's you and I escape
escape from time

come on lets fall in love
come on lets fall in love
come on lets fall in love
again


I just realized, (for the nth time, I guess) that its so amazing how the feeling of just being inlove can really change your outlook in life.....it is a really delightful feeling!

I Kissed Dating goodbye...(well not entirely!) and others...

Been reading the book that lola Carms gave me 2 Christmas(es)ago. It's I kissed Dating Goodbye by Joshua Harris. Yup...It took me about 2 years to get to finally read the book entirely. I got to read a few chapters back then but I never did got to finish it. I am almost down to the last few chapters and I have to say that although the author (which is cute by the way), have these idealistic views about how a righteous relationship should be, he has some pretty good points about how you should view romantic relationships and even if I know that I really won't be able to really follow what he has written down (on this book you really have to avoid being in a relationship if you are not intending to end up in marriage), it did helped me change my perspective when it comes to romantic interests. For example, I have decided not to dwell on the fact that I'm still single. I've learned to focus my singlehood into more enriching activities. (I'm still thinking what those activities should be..) In any case, I've learned to really not waste my time moping and sour graping why after 2 years, I'm still not able to find anyone to hook up with formally.

*********
The weekend is coming to an end as I finish writing this entry... I'm finally shipping out of Experian, which has been my account for the past two years and to which I know all the terms by heart and could speak out the spiels even if I am asleep....My comfort zone. I'll be training for Earthlink, well, it's People PC actually, starting tomorrow, and I'll say that there is no turning back. I'll be with some of my friends, Kat, Ami and Jaggy. Alex signed up for the transfer as well, but for some reason, Aya and Rod did not make it, and retention does not want to give away some of its agents. Kaka, on the meanwhile, took off to Expedia without me. Hmm.. Although for the first few days of training, my schedule will be basically the same, 8pm-6am, I'm now beginning to wonder what my shift would be once I begin taking calls. I really hope it's nothing too drastic like I'll suddenly be on the morning shift or something. I'm certainly going to miss someone.

Spent the day watching the vcds I bought for 99 bucks each. I bought 3. Alex recommended I watched his favorite movie of all time, A Few Good Men. Although I was very interested in watching it, I was also expecting to be probably half bored by it especially at the start of the movie. But I was wrong. I really liked the movie...Very much. I liked the ending when the verdict was read out, and sadly, the 2 officers were dismissed and discharged. Jack Nicholson was great...And Tom Cruise is adorable. Thank goodness that the movie did not include any romantic plots between Tom and Demi Moore's characters. I also got a copy of my fave episodes of Sex and the City. It was where Carrie celebrated her birthday and the other was where she modeled for a fashion event and tripped on a runaway. I really love it! :) I still have to finish Stand By Me, which I have read as a book as well by Stephen King.

My highschool friends are planning a reunion on October 1. We've been sending updates in Friendster through the bulletin board and so far, the number of attendees are growing. My name is actually on top of the list and as I read the other people who were added I came across the name I was not expecting. Hah! My ex,who will be named *Unwell, who I never saw or heard from, for more than a year now. I suddenly got a strange feeling inside me. I felt compelled not to go all of a sudden. It's not that I'm still hung up on him or something (I am so over him ages ago..Please!) Its just that I really don't know how to act around him or towards him. I just feel that it's going to be strange, to be seeing him again, and worse, with people who were witnesses of our previous romantic relationship.

I think I would just like to go to that Nina concert after all......

I'm really having the jitters here about starting anew on Monday for Earthlink..Especially with its effect in my life. I pray to God that everything would turn out right.



* I have decided to give out codenames for those had/have/might have any romantic links with me, as to protect their identities while I write down the most absurd things about them....
