Vanilla Twilight

Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly

- Vanilla Twilight Owl City

I heard that song awhile ago while I was driving on my way home and those lines struck me. So as soon as I got to my room, I opened my laptop and searched for the lyrics. Its such a nice song :) I love the lyrics and the melody. For those in a LDR like Gel, surely could relate to the lyrics/song.

Allow me to share the lyrics to this new favorite of mine:

The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere

‘Cause I’ll doze off safe and soundly
But I’ll miss your arms around me
I’d send a postcard to you, dear
‘Cause I wish you were here

I’ll watch the night turn light-blue
But it’s not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly

The silence isn’t so bad
‘Til I look at my hands and feel sad
‘Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly

I’ll find repose in new ways
Though I haven’t slept in two days
‘Cause cold nostalgia
Chills me to the bone

But drenched in vanilla twilight
I’ll sit on the front porch all night
Waist-deep in thought because
When I think of you I don’t feel so alone

I don’t feel so alone, I don’t feel so alone

As many times as I blink
I’ll think of you tonight
I’ll think of you tonight

When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I’ll taste the sky and feel alive again

And I’ll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won’t forget you
Oh, if my voice could reach
Back through the past
I’d whisper in your ear
Oh darling, I wish you were here

I’m contemplating on whether to purchase their album or not. Just like the thousands of people in the US, contemplating on what insurance to get from a vast number of insurance sales leads. ;) I’m also moving to a new (online) home soon. I’ve decided on a name and hopefully before the month ends I’m all settled in my new home.

Micro Stories

I’ve been meaning to change this layout of mine but I’m having a hard time on searching for a theme that I’d like to customize. Speaking of my site, it’s about to expire by March and I’m thinking if I should renew it or register for a new domain name. I’ve had my domain name for a long time now and I feel like having a change of name. I need to brainstorm ideas before the 2nd week of March. Good luck to me :P

I don’t know what’s wrong with me but since the year started I’ve been getting sick every month. I’ve had colds and cough last month and now I feel sick again. The same symptoms I had last month, but this time I drank medicines right away and slept early last night to have a full 8 hour sleep.

It’s my boyfriend’s birthday today. I thought I’d beat him to work today but I failed to. I was hoping to surprise him by placing his cake and gift on his desk but his shift is way too early (his shift starts at 7AM). I came in at 6:50AM and he was already busy with work. Oh well, I’ll try to surprise him next time (maybe on our anniversary) I just hope his shift doesn’t start that early by then. :P

Good Times with Mo

If you’re from the Philippines or a Filipino who’s been listening to Magic 89.9 every morning for four years you probably know what I’m talking about. I listen to this radio show every morning (Friday not included) on my way to work. It’s actually the reason why I don’t feel so stressed or irritated despite the traffic every morning. I enjoy my travel to the office because of this show. Sometimes even as I have parked my car already, I still stay for a little longer until the commercial break. It’s really an entertaining show. And if you still didn’t know, Mo Twister has his own blog as well. Not only is it entertaining, but he also gives away prizes thru his Triva Questions. All you have to do is follow him on Twitter and post your answers there (Twitter). I hope I get to win on one of his trivia questions until he runs out of prizes to give away. :)

Bills Bills Bills

A letter for me came in the mail a week ago. I thought it was the Circle’s Buffet voucher that I’ve been waiting for the longest time but my excitement turned in to a disappointment because it was not the voucher but a statement from my life insurance. Ugh, another bill to pay. I always dread receiving bill statements, it reminds me of how much I should have saved if I didn’t purchase this or that. And then I start to think that ever since our company moved here at McKinley Hill the more I was not able to save. It makes me miss the days when our company was just based in Alabang, only 10-15 kilometers away from home. Gasoline for the car will cost 1,000Php and it will last for 2 weeks or more. But now 1,000Php will only last a week, add to that the toll fee every morning and afternoon and just recently McKinley Hill management decided to turn all free parking slots to a pay parking slot. I’m actually starting to think of canceling my insurance because I feel that I am not able to manage my money properly. If only I was able to review insurance leads properly and had given much thought before getting a life insurance then I wouldn’t feel as if I made a mistake in purchasing one. Canceling now will not benefit me at all since I’m just only on my first year. Anyways, I’d just think of it this way: Today I don’t have enough money but tomorrow I’d have enough and more :)

LSS No. 1

LSS – Last Song Syndrome

My parents and I went to Marikina yesterday to have our Valentine’s dinner. I loved the band who was playing at the restaurant. My current LSS is one of the songs they played last night.

Vertical Horizon’s Best I Ever Had
So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I’m here to stay
Love can be so boring

Nothing’s quite the same now
I just say your name now

But it’s not so bad
You’re only the best I ever had
You don’t want me back
You’re just the best I ever had

So you stole my world
Now I’m just a phony
Remembering the girl
Leaves me down and lonely

Send it in a letter
Make yourself feel better

But it’s not so bad
You’re only the best I ever had
You don’t need me back
You’re just the best I ever had

And it may take some time to
Patch me up inside
But I can’t take it so I
Run away and hide
And I may find in time that
You were always right
You’re always right

So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I’m here to stay
Love can be so boring

What was it you wanted
Could it be I’m haunted

But it’s not so bad
You’re only the best I ever had
I don’t want you back
You’re just the best I ever had
The best I ever had
The best I ever

Heart

I was searching for quizzes on Blogthings again and found this quiz. Since it’s Valentine’s Day, I decided to take it and share the results with you.


You Have a Content Heart


Your heart doesn’t crave much. It doesn’t take much to make your heart happy.
You may or may not have found love, but either way, your heart is at peace.

If your heart has been broken, you are over it. Your heart has no scars.
Your heart is open to anything. You have a lot of love to give to the world.

Just an update

My domain is expiring within 45 days. I’m definitely renewing it but probably only for a year.

Been assigned to do some testing and test scripts at work. I’m a developer but these were the tasks assigned to me for the meantime. I’m now thinking if I should just shift and focus to testing but I feel as if its too late to take a shift. Oh well!

It’s Valentine’s day tomorrow. As usual, we’ll not be spending Valentine’s day together. We had our pre-Valentine’s dinner last Friday wherein he just let all his frustrations about the week out. We’re both hoping that next week will be much better than last week.

Happy Valentine’s day & Kung hei fat choi :)
