Just The Way You Are
by Bruno Mars


Her eyes, her eyes
make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair
falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday (yeahh)

I know, I know
When I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so
Sad to think that she don't see what I see
But everytime she asks me "Do I look okay?"
I say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

Her lips, her lips
I could kiss them all day if she let me
Her laugh, her laugh
she hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday

Oh you know, you know, you know
I'd never ask you to change
If perfects what you're searching for
Then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking if you look okay
'Cause you know I'll say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

The way you are
The way you are

The Big Bang Theory and Some Things I Can Live Without

I have taken a couple of days off from work initially anticipating a Sagada trip my friends and I planned almost a month back. That never happened.

So now I am mostly just using my leave days catching up on chores I have neglected these past few weeks, reading, and my general tendency to over-analyze myself as if anything matters.

Also I am hooked on a new TV series, The Big Bang Theory. It's about four superhumanly intelligent friends and a girl that basically ignites all conflicts and general interest in the characters (for their actions are juxtaposed against what is deemed socially accepted). The series is very well-written and I understand has received a couple of awards to validate that. I didn't really care for the acting of most of the characters but Jim Parsons. He does make nerdy/unpopular/arrogant appear admirable and you must love him for that. I also stumbled upon this video in youtube (Now Playing) on an interview with him and I must say that he does show a lot of passion and knowledge on the whole theoretical basis of acting and his general motivation on his part. I can tell that he is very smart too, acting or otherwise.

On the other hand, I fail to appreciate how Johnny Galecki (Leonard) treats his character. I feel that the character's speech pattern is unreasonable and irritating at its best. I just don't see the point.

Angsty Lately

I must admit. I have been very irritable lately and I feel it's not going away. It's a general unfeeling for people, things and events. I can't explain it. I have never been this way before and it's weird cause I'm very aware of it.

I guess this must be my defense mechanism against pressure which I have been having a lot of lately. I feel like I need to just shut myself out from whole world and not care, hoping that when I revive myself all will be fine and dandy. Which, by the way, is rarely the case.

I am going to try to start this week right and try to start talking to people more. Get a feel of how they are, be more appealing to people, get to know their sentiments without really trying too hard to come up with a solution for everything. I need to remind myself more that I just need to do what I can and accept that there are things that are completely out of my hands.

Maybe I'm a control freak. Maybe I want everything done a certain way and if I don't get it done, I'd feel frustrated and stupid. Maybe that's where all this unfeeling is coming from. I need to snap out of this soon lest I be like one of those people who only exists to torture others by sending bad vibes all the time.

Snap!

First Blog

Jan 4. New week, new quarter, new year.

So my friends and I met last weekend and decided to take a trip to Sagada by February. I always knew that I'd be back. The first time I was there I swore to get a house there once I can afford it. I still can't afford it but it would be nice to rekindle that feeling of genuine love for the place. It's one of the few places in the Philippines I would want to spend my dying days in. The way I remember it is just magical. I visited Sagada back in college with my Anthropology class and we had the best time. We scheduled the trip to coincide with the town fiesta and people were just everywhere. I admire the small town ambience of the place. I also remember the smell of the town.

So I'm pretty psyched about that. My friend Lene would be leaving to work in another country anytime within the first quarter so we really have to make our scheds work and do an out of town trip soon. I will miss her.

I feel like I missed the holidays. It went by so fast that I was not able to actually feel the holiday spirit except for the part where people were crazy shopping for gifts. That's that.

I have tons of things to think about this year. I really need to start clearing out my room of stuff I don't need. I need to get on the treadmill more. I need to be more organized and focused on tasks. I need to learn how to manage my money better. And most of all, I need to get back on track with my MA. Come to think of it, with this amount of things to think about, this year may very well just go fly out the window before I even recognize it. Crazy.

Well, I need to start on it. Getting my haircut today. Going to work tonight. Oh, and I promise to do more blogging this year. =)
