The heat is finally easing up. TG! Is it just me or the heat is worse this year compared to last? Either way, it's a moot point since the rainy season's here already. Yipee! I'm crossing my fingers this isn't another false start like the one we had the other week. It rained on my birthday and the day after that and then nothing. In comes the heat again and mind you it came back with a vengeance! Last week was the worst, wasn't it? I'm just so glad we're done with summer... or are we really?
Speaking of birthdays, Marie called the other day to greet my belated happy birthday. We ended up chatting about this and that for about an hour. I learned that they have malunggay over there. I asked her how it's called in English but she forgot. She'll text me, she says but up till now I'm still waiting for her answer. You know how it is when you're trying to recall something and it's at the tip of your tongue but try as you might you cant remember? Well that's how it feels like for me with this malunggay thing.
Mostly we talked about her upcoming wedding...preparations that is. I told her I already have an idea of what I wanna wear. My only concern is that I've to go braless with this dress. Instead I'll be wearing those gel cup thingies that stick on your boobies. I'm fine with that. What worries me is gravity. My girls cant be called big but they're big enough to droop without adequate support. But the gown's really pretty and it's what I want to wear. Well let's see how it goes.
Still on weddings, I watched Sukob for the first time this afternoon. It wasn't as scary (read: good) as I expected. Maybe it's because I was watching it on the small screen. I don't know. I guess. To give credit, there were a couple scenes here and there that had me closing my eyes or looking away. Also, I've to admit that I wasn't giving the film my full attention.

words like sweltering and steamy come to mind
oh man, it's just barely past six am and the sun's barely up but the heat is already UNBEARABLE! the humidity makes me feel like im in a sauna. i feel like i'm melting. i feel like i wont be able to last the week much more the remaining months of summer if this keeps up!! waaah!! sadly, it will--i mean, keep up. i went to check pagasa's site and their temperature forecast for the week holds steady at 25C to 36C. the relative humidity is at its highest at 90%!! And there's little hope for rain too. Ah rain... i hope it'd rain soon. like really. it's so effing hot!!

lss v.4
It's been a while since a song got stuck in my head. The last being Be-yonce's song that goes "to the left, to the left." or something. Now I've got this Alana Davis (known for her cover of 32 flavors) song playing in my head non-stop since this morning. The song's called "I want you" It's nice. I like it much. I'm not sure but I think it's another cover.
I WANT YOU
Alana Davis
I've seen suckers loose themselves in the games they learn to play,
Children love to sing but then their voices slowly fade away.
People always take a step away from what is true,
That's why I like you around,
I want you.
Yeah you do... you make me want you.
An open invitation to the dance,
Happenstance set the vibe that we are in,
No apology because my urge is genuine,
And the mystery of opposites attract and
Here I am and I want to take a hit,
Of your scent and it bit,
So deep into my soul,
I want you.
You do you do, you make me want you.
And I can't get enough,
And I can't get enough,
And I can't get enough,
And I can't get enough.
The village church yard is filled with bones weeping in the grave,
The silver lining of clouds shines on people Jesus couldn't save,
You want to know how deeply my soul goes,
Deeper than bones, Deeper than bones,
And I can't get enough.
And I can't get enough.
And I can't get enough.
And I can't get enough.
After we did it by the window sill,
Smoke rings drifting into the sky,
wrapped in the quilt my that mama made
i walk and run fighting off the haze
but you talk real soft and kiss me on the cheek.
And like a jazz DJ you talk me into sleep,
There will be no regrets when the end come,
And it will surely come.
You do you do, make me want you
I want you,
I want you
EDIT: Okay, so while googling for the lyrics I learn that Thrid Eye Blind also has a version of the song. The link I have here is live and acoustic. I can't seem to find the studio version. I'll keep searching though.

Two-in-one
Have you seen the new Alpo 2-in-1 TV ad? The one with the overzealous Boston Terrier accidentally spilling water all over his dish? I got intrigued by it and decided to by my Bubba some. I wasn't sure if my Bubba would like it so I set off thinking I'd buy the smallest package I could find. Turns out the smallest available was the one kilo variety. Nevertheless, I decided to take a risk. It's a good thing my Bubba took a liking to it because then I wouldnt know what to do with almost a kilo of kibbles!
Three-in-one
Also, for the coffee lovers out there, check out Nescafe's new offering. Viva Vanilla. The tag-line goes "Viva life, viva coffee! Viva Vanilla...rich creamy vanilla flavored coffee mix.
It's good, trust me. The taste reminds me of this sustagen concoction I used to drink when i was much much younger

pangarap ko
qNitong huli, nakaugalian ko ng magpasa ng mga pictures para magsilbing "inspirasyon" ng mga illustrators ng PHR para sa cover ng mga libro ko. So far, nakaka-tatlo na ako.
Ang galing nila no? I'm talking about the illustrators here. Parang pagkadali-daling gumuhit base sa larawan. Pero ubod ng hirap pala. Alam ko kasi minsan na akong sumubok na mag-illustrate. Nakakatawa ang kinalabasan ng artwork ko kaya hindi ko na pinursige.
Kitams! Nakakatawa diba? But give me credit for the girl's top. Kahit papaano nakuha ko naman sya..i think..the rest eh kailangan pa ng isa't kalahating kabang bigas.
Truth, gusto ko pa ding sumubok, mag-aral, mag-practice, hanggang sa hindi na kakatwa kundi maituturing na "puwede na" ang aking obra. Pero tsaka na lang, hindi pa ngayon, ayoko muna...
Ang masasabi ko lang sa ilan dyan na kinukutya/pinagtatawanan ang mga TR pocketbook covers ay subukan n'yo kaya...kayo ang gumuhit. It's not as easy as it seems. That's why I admire these artists, they have gifted hands indeed. Simple as it may be, these cover illustrations are a testament to how much talent we Filipinos have. Bow.
One Girl, One Guy, One Night...
Sa Habang Buhay, Ikaw at Ako...
