Haven’t gotten over Twilight yet. Here’s one of my favorite songs featured in the movie. Hope you like listening to it like I do. It has really weird lyrics though but try to see through it to know what all of it means. Watched Twilight again with Monica yesterday afternoon (sigh).

Flightless Bird American Mouth

I was a quick wet boy, diving too deep for coins
All of your street light eyes wide on my plastic toys
Then when the cops closed the fair, I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map and called for you everywhere

Have I found you
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping or lost you, american mouth
Big pill looming

Now I’m a fat house cat
Nursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats curl through the wide fence cracks
Pissing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold
And clean blood of Christ mountain stream

Have I found you
Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding or lost you, american mouth

Big pill stuck going down

It's December! Yeyyy!

Can you believe it? It’s already December and 2008 is going to end in like 28 days! How quickly time flies these days – even if you’re not having fun.

Anyway, I’ve finished reading Veronica Decides To Die (Paulo Coelho) already. Actually I finished reading it last week. It’s a really good book. Hey guys do you know if its okay if I post excerpts of the novel here in my blog? Like my favorite lines and that kind of stuff? I mean I won’t be having copyright issues if I do that right? As long as I cite Paulo Coelho always? And I could also link his website here. Because I really want to write those beautiful and meaningful lines here. So I could share it to y’all so I could convince all of you to buy this book as well! You’ll get your money’s worth and you’ll learn something. I promise. Tim is reading it now. At least I think he is.

By the way, I still haven’t gotten over Twilight yet. What a great movie. Sometimes I wish I have a vampire for a boyfriend to. They’re just so handsome and cool. At least that’s how I see them in the movies. I’m going to buy a DVD of Twilight so I could watch it again. Robert Pattinson is the best. He’s really come a long way since portraying the role of Cedric Diggory in the movie Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I’m also looking forward on watching The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. I hear its a great movie. I have to read the novel its based on too. Written by John Boyne.

Found more songs entitled Mary Jane yesterday. Although I’m not sure if the composers wrote the song about a person or a thing. You know what I mean. The Click Five’s Mary Jane is on repeat mode in my head. I’m having the last song syndrome again.

Hhmmmm. What else am I going to write about. Tim is in Roxas again since yesterday. I wonder when he’ll be back. Lately he’s been complaining a lot – more than the usual on how he’s so tired of traveling. Its part of his job so he has to do it. Its great to travel, but he got tired of it. I feel sorry for him. Well that’s it. Just wanted to welcome December. Christmas is near. So excited! Til my next post!

Today is Saturday. And Saturday is my day to go out and unwind.  Of course as always I was with Tim. We watched a movie today. We actually didn’t plan to but I was intrigued with Twilight. Because Monica kept texting me yesterday to watch this movie with her. So Tim and I went to Robinson’s Place and watched Twilight. And too bad Monica wasn’t able to watch it with us. Sorry Nix – unplanned. Hehehe.

The movie Twilight is based on the novel of the same name by Stephenie Meyer. Kristen Stewart is Bella Swan and Robert Pattinson is Edward Cullen. I enjoyed the movie. Its about a teenage girl who fell in love with a 108 year old vampire but is physically seventeen. They fell in love. And this put Bella’s life in danger. Edward and his family risked their lives to save Bella from three nomadic vampires. I’m going to watch the next two movies because its actually a trilogy. But surely Bella chose to be a vampire too in order to be with Edward forever. I have to read the novels to understand everything.  I think it’s a classic story of love that conquers all. Twilight brought out the romantic in me. And I recommend this movie to everyone. So yes I am also planning to buy the novels this movie was based on soon. I’m sure the novels are far better than the movie. By the way I love the soundtrack of this movie too. Especially The Fray’s How To Save A Life and Linkin Park’s Leave Out All The Rest.

When you find out you will die, that’s when you decide to live.

It wasn’t until she decided to die, that Veronika found a reason to live.

It’s Saturday and again I decided to take the afternoon off so I went to the city, met up with Tim and we went malling. He had to buy something at National Bookstore for his sister’s wedding so I went with him. While he was looking for whatever it was he wanted, I went to the bestseller’s section and looked over the books that I haven’t read yet. And Paulo Coelho’s Veronika Decides To Die caught my eye. I have heard of this book many times before but I haven’t got the chance to read it. So after a little thinking I decided to buy a copy for myself.

After reading the first chapter, I decided that I love this book already. Paulo Coelho is such a great writer. I’ll continue reading and I’ll put the things I’ve learned here later on. And also the things that needs to be off my mind.

I browsed the internet and I learned that there’s a movie  still in production process based on this book. Sarah Michelle Gellar will star as Veronika. It’s going to be out in 2009.

Veronika is 24 and she decides to die?  She has everything but she decided to die? Why?

That’s what I’m going to found out.

Last Saturday night we went to Ryan’s to check out Rockathon – a battle of the bands activity sponsored by the Xbox committee of Callbox. I realized that this was going to be the last party I’ll attend as a Callbox employee. I have resigned and my last day is going to be on the 4th of November. But I haven’t been to the office for a week now. I kind of miss my friends – especially Shey but I don’t miss being a telemarketer! Thank God I’m over that.

I went with Tim and my brother – Vinboy. I met up with Shey and Dianne. We gave all out support to our department’s band which is composed of Louie, Roger, Richard and Lynn. They were awesome and as expected they won. Of course – IT na guid na!

I’ll miss you guys. Text text lang ah.

Here are some of our photos:
