A Thorn Among the Roses

I work for a fairly large company, where it is virtually impossible to meet and get to know every single employee. I discovered recently though, that the best way to meet the company's roster of cute guys (or in my case, just discover that cute guys are actually existent) is during the building fire drill.

We all gathered in front of the building, watching firemen put out a fake fire. Half an hour of this was enough to find out his name and department, make small talk and even get treated by him to a refreshing glass of buko juice.

Our department is made up of 6 PMS-driven females (myself included) and a middle-aged closet queen. This new development is indeed an interesting one. Hmmm. Maybe I should buy new shoes and wear make-up to work more often.

Soundtracks

This is the Musical Baton, as passed to me by Ivan.


Total volume of music files on my computer:
I'm not sure about the volume, but I know I have around 400 mp3s which took me about four years to collect.


Last CD I bought:
I bought 4 all at the same time:
Tales of a Librarian, by Tori Amos
Diary, by Alicia Keys
Tunog Kalye
and U-Turn, by U-Turn


Song playing right now:
An a capella version of Iris, by The Googoo Dolls, from a compilation of pop songs arranged in a capella, sang by the group Voices. (Thanks again, Dennis. I never get tired of this CD :))


Five songs I listen to a lot, and that mean a lot to me:

Tatooed on my Mind, by D'Sound
Maybe you soon forget about all
or maybe you'll miss it like I do
one thing's for sure:
I'm all knocked out
spend too much time thinking of you
And I can't get you out of my dreams
Now I know that you're the dangerous kind
and your smile is tattooed on my mind
And I can't get you out of my dreams...


Beautiful Disaster, by Kelly Clarkson
...Oh when I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster...


I Can't Make You Love Me, by George Michael
Turn down the lights
Turn down the bed
Turn down these voices
inside my head
Lay down with me
Tell me no lies
Just hold me close,
don't patronize
Don't patronize me
Cause I can't make you love me
if you don't
You can't make your heart feel
something it won't
Here in the dark
in these final hours
I will lay down my heart
And I'll feel the power
but you won't
No, you won't
Cause I can't make you love me
if you don't...


Waiting in Vain, by Annie Lennox
From the very first time I laid my eyes on you boy
My heart said follow through
But I know now that I'm way down on your line
But the waiting feels just fine
So don't treat me like a puppet on a string
Cause I know how to do my thing
Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb
I wanna know when you're gonna come
I don't want to wait in vain for your love...


The Art of Letting Go, by Mikaila
Put away the pictures, put away the memories
I go over and over through my tears
I've held them 'til I'm blind, they kept my hope alive
as if somehow that might keep you here
won't you believe in a love forevermore
how do you leave it in a drawer
Now here it comes, the hardest part of all
unchain my heart that's holding on
how do I start to live my life alone
guess I'm just learning, learning the art of letting go...



Five people I'm passing this to:
Kookie
Marc
Jojo
Tet

Musings

There's this girl from work that I've been seeing around and hearing a lot about. We have quite a few comon friends, but I've never formally met her until this week. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the person behind the kwentos is very interesting and very fun to be with. It's always fun to get to know the personality behind a familiar face.

***

Things have been very hectic at the office. Normally, I would drop everything and focus on work, but this time, I've learned to strike a balance. I will no longer compromise my social life or my health for work. It isn't helping that my immediate boss is just slightly more useful than a paperclip, but hey, all the more reason for me to prove myself, right?

***

I've finally gotten around to giving my blog a much needed facelift. It will take a while for me to get used to this new look, but I'm beginning to like it more and more.

My Two Cents on "American Idol"

Almost a week since the final result show of this year's season of American Idol, and I am still reeling from the outcome.

I can't believe it. Bo Bice lost.

Yes, Carrie Underwood does have a good singing voice, but it's nothing we've never seen before.

Constantine was originally my favorite, but ever since that shocking episode when we was booted off, I was rooting for Bo.

Oh well, I guess that there is no room for a rocker on a pop idol contest. Yet.
