Photo: First love

First love. August 11,2012. Dumaguete City.

Actually, they could be anything, these two kids.

I just like the idea of Love these days. 

My first real love was wearing white, i do remember vividly. I didn't know it then, but it was the last time I was ever going to see him, and I never got to tell him so. I watched him go, watched him walk away...until the sun was in my eyes and I couldn't see him anymore...

:-(

But, my "first" "love" was the AmBoy from Texas...who read Hardy Boys and lectured me on Scud Missiles who I shared a grade school desk with. 

He was a cutie.

(Anyway, back to work. Seeya.)Love, S.x

Video: All I ask of You

 

This is my favorite song of all time...

I'm just excited about it.

I want to watch it at the CCP, and I want to make it special.

I'll finally get to see it live!!

:-D

Love,

Video: Both Sides Now (Joni Mitchell)

I do believe i have become a bit jaded...but this song is beautiful in its melancholy, nonetheless...

Bows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way

I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way

But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way

Oh but now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something's lost but something's gained
In living every day

I've looked at life from both sides now
From WIN and LOSE and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all

I've looked at life from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all

Crazy Pictorial with family at Noyib's birthday party. :-D

Picture grouping..."The Young Ones!".. Guess what, everyone came rushing in. 

The "ReaL" young ones. haha. Me and my cousins.

Talking to Smonkie about Organ Donation. :-)

Post party-- haha, not the bags. :-p


(Actually, it was my nephew Myles' party... :-))

Love,

Video: Every Breath You Take

Got this video idea from a friend, it's become my current work song, while I prepare for my grand rounds. I love this song. It reminds me of good things.

The rain is continuously coming in sheets...and many people in Manila are in knee deep (or worse) water.

Here in the hospital, the grounds outside are still flooded, but they're starting to recede...there was no rain this morning...but it seems to be coming back again. Good thing we're all warm, safe and dry, and there's food, electricity and water. Good company to be had.

I don't want to be selfish...i'd love an extension, but you should see the people on tv...I hope this ends soon, for all of us.

I want to go home too, for my birthday. and I won't be able to, if this keeps going on.

A blessed day to all, Be safe, everyone.

Love,

S.

I hope so. With grand rounds coming up, I just want to be able to present something real and awesome, and not perfect.

Wish me luck.

Love,

Music: Slow-dancing (By Kennard Faraon)

Saw this song interpretation a couple of weeks ago when I was on-duty and we were all watching TV at the time.

 It's a very pretty, dreamy song.

 Listened to this again with one of my coresidents, Joffrey, over a couple of "shots" of apple juice and apple cider vinegar (his anti-gallstone regimen, I have to say).

 This we drank over chocolate birthday cake (Trina's)/ Congratulatory cake (Aleah's).

 Always fun hanging out. :-)


 (This song makes me think of slow-dancing, which I would really love to do again. someday. Come to think of it, i've never slow-danced pala)

Love,

S.

Pin: me and only me

This is a non-issue for me. for the meantime.
