Wonder

It's pretty hard to comprehend why certain things happen. They just do. As much as we want to put the reasons behind it on our hands, we cannot. We can never question it. It's up to God. We're just here. Humans, creatures of curiosity and wonder, and that's the only thing we can do -- WONDER


Maybe you're asking why I started off the post like this. Why so serious you say? Well, I'm really wondering why some people who say they love you in the beginning soon drop you like a hot potato. (Disclaimer: I'm not pertaining to all people, but a particular person, sorry if you misunderstood the previous statement). The feeling of that seems to be a cross between anger and sadness at the same time; and also curiosity. Why did he do that?


Maybe it happens to everyone or maybe it's just me. But I tell you the truth, it ain't easy. When he said 'I love you', I was ecstatic, literally jumping off my seat and smiling like an idiot. But then he started to break off the communication, cutting it off little by little, as if he was trying to torture me. I decided to put up with it, because i loved him to, but gave up eventually. (Ever had the feeling of you're-giving-your-best-efforts-but-it's-totally-not-worth-it? Yeah I do.)


It's like your efforts are extremely up there to communicate with him and he always tells you lame excuses like, "I don't have load" or "I seldom have load". Ugh, you said you love me, so why not make the effort to communicate with me? I haven't talked to you in weeks man. Don't you miss me at all? (Sorry for the angry rant).


I was gutted. I always had that sad feeling in the beginning that when I said I love you, he would stop making efforts because he got those words out of me already. 


Well, this really sucks. The best thing I'm doing now is drowning myself with literature. Now into more pleasing things, I got inspired to read more and more books because of this class I'm taking now which is about literature. My professor, I tell you is, legen- wait for it -dary. She is awesome. Hopefully, in the next few months I will be more inspired.

Song/Lyrics of the day:
"Philadelphia" 
by Parachute

Like a gunshot from miles away
She's moving in
Like a rainstorm with out the clouds
She falls on you
Like a phone call to worn the truth 
It never rings


It's the truth before the lies
It's the way she doesn't try
It's the wink before the sly
In Philadelphia
In Philadelphia


They met after work one day
She laughed with him
They drove off their separate ways
Then met for drinks
When he got home the silent guilt was deafening


She thought that love was gonna fight
She thought that love was gonna take her home
She thought that love was gonna save her
But love just never showed
She felt that love was always watching
Oh we learned that love was supposed to wait
But sometimes it's the feelings
That are standing in the air

He slips off his worn out suit and tries to rest
She's a million miles away across the bed
She rolls over puts her hand across his chest

Bringing it all back

I've been feeling a lot of good and happy emotions lately and it's giving me some inspiration. I think it's slowly bringing back my old hobbies and favorite things to do and to tell you frankly, I'm ecstatic. It's giving me good vibes. I went to the nearest bookstore a while ago to buy some needed school supplies and as I was browsing through the books under 'fiction', I came across the thought of reading again. (Reading novels to be exact). I immediately paid for the needed school supplies and went to the school library. I then went through English literature books and fiction novels and decided to borrow 3 books. These are:






I am currently reading "Lost boy Lost girl" by Peter Straub. The story excites me. I just love a mystery story. And to be honest I can't wait to finish them all. Hopefully I will not get lazy and stop reading. Also, I'm currently musically inspired. I'm joining this contest hosted by the band Parachute where you sing your own version of their song 'Kiss me slowly' and if you get a lot of votes, you will win cool prizes. And since I do not play any instruments, my friend Nix will be helping me put the song together. I hope I'll win! But just the thought of Parachute watching my video is enough for me :)


PARACHUTE! (I'm addicted to their songs)


Will Anderson. His eyes, his smile! :)

Hopefully, this version of me will not wear off and stay for a very long time. I want to write my own novel and bake. Hahahaha. :)

It's 11pm and I have an 8am class tomorrow so I'm hitting the sack. Good night! :)

Song & Lyrics of the day:
'Who are we Fooling?' by Brooke Fraser

So we're back here again
Tiptoeing 'round the edge of the end
Wondering who will be last to admit
That we're finally over

Turned 21 on the day that we met
Terrible shoes, implausible dress
It's funny how sad the funny things get as you grow older

Better or worse
But what else can we do?
When better or worse
I am tethered to you
If it's not either of us
Tell me who are we fooling?

I learnt the art of biting my tongue
I tired of trying to guess what was wrong
Both agreed on where we should go
But not how to get there

We tried and tried to loosen the knots
Thinking once we're untangled we'll be better off
But it’s these failures and faults that hold us together

Better or worse
But what else can we do?
When better or worse
I am tethered to you
If it's not either of us
Tell me who are we fooling?

This beautiful tangle that's bruising us blue
Is the beautiful knot that we just can't undo
Together we're one but apart tell me
Who are we fooling?

'Cause real love is hard love
It's all we have
It's a break neck
Train wreck
It's all we have

So we're back here again
Turning away from the edge of the end
Arm in arm

Better or worse
But what else can we do?
When better or worse
I am tethered to you
If it's not either of us
Tell me who are we fooling?

This beautiful tangle that's bruising us blue
Is the beautiful knot that we just can't undo
If it's not either of us
Tell me who are we fooling?

Together we're one but apart tell me 

Who are we fooling?
