No sometimes means Yes

September 2, 2009

you’re a bit curious even when you say you’re not interested
you’re slightly pissed off though you deny you’re mad
you say it’s OK but you’re not
you do care enough although you utter ‘whatever’
you’re a tad hurt while you try to act nonchalant
you say ‘no’ but you really mean ‘yes’

It’s hard work deciphering you but i’m beginning to understand…

the door

August 28, 2009

a door — closed, under lock and key
leading to uncharted territories
exciting yet full of uncertainties
do i dare open it?
or is it better left alone?
always wondering where it may lead to
my shangrila or downfall….
a part of me wants to take a peek
to satisfy my curiosity
but we all know what happened to the cat
logic dictates to leave it locked
and throw away the key
i want to? yes. need to? no.
don’t judge me here
am just being honest

i won’t open the door — for now
but i’ll keep the key with me
so i’ll always have the option
to tempt fate or give in to my destiny.

love quotes from tumblr.

July 5, 2009
  • Think how different it would be if you never met the one person who changed everything
  • Kisses are like tears, the only real ones are the ones you can’t hold back
  • And if you can’t say yes, answer anyway. Because I’d rather live with the answer than die with the question
  • You are everything I have always dreamed of but never woke up to
  • You never really stop loving someone, you just learn to live without them
  • Giving up doesn’t always mean you are weak. Sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go
  • I always fall for someone who is so out of reach, but still close enough to make it hurt.
  • I don’t like to daydream anymore because reality is so much better.
  • Love is giving someone the power to hurt and trusting them not to.
  • Don’t let the imaginary person in your head keep you from loving the real one in front of you

Note: One of the quotes above is an original from yours truly. Your guess is as good as how well you know me. I’m sooo sappy. =oP

100

June 17, 2009

I’m not really into Filipino independent films because I find them too garrish and has an in-your-face presentation of the harsh realities of life. But a couple of friends decided to watch the indie film entitled 100 and since I didn’t want to be a party pooper, I just went with the flow. I didn’t know anything about the film, had no inkling whatsoever. I was so disinterested and just prepared myself to endure the next couple of hours that I didn’t even read the synopsis at the back of the dvd case.

At the start of the film, the main character caught my attention (for those who know ME, you’d know why). But what really held my interest was the plot of the movie. By no means was it original but I liked the way how it was presented. It was realistic enough and this will sound corny but it “spoke” to me. I don’t know why but I could relate to the protagonist. It made me think what if it happened to me —- what would i do? Would I do the same things?  Or just the opposite?

The acting of the main characters were understated but believable. But what I really liked about it was that the director didn’t build up the dramatic scenes. Normally, Filipino directors have the tendency to milk dramatic scenes so that the viewers would cry. I’m glad to say the I didn’t shed a single tear watching this movie but at the same time I got the message it was trying to convey. It didn’t pull a tug in my heart but rather it made ponder on a lot of things. The humor interjected in the scenes were funny and unexpected.

I purposely didn’t give away any detailed info (read: no spoilers) about the movie because I recommend watching the film. =o)
