"So if you're asking me, I want you to know..

.. When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
Don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest.. "

Let me see.. This song is sung by Linkin Park. The title of the song is "Leave Out The Rest". This song is the one that is infecting me with Last Song Syndrome (LSS). LSS is a condition wherein you cannot forget a certain song that is played recently. Normally it would be either annoying or appealing, depending on what song is played. In my case, its great! =)

Now, about our topic. It is going to be something that we are actually scared of. Oh come on, I'm not talking about school or a movie. Most importantly, I'm really not talking about school!! xD In reality, I'm talking about losing someone; namely death.

Death (according to Wikipedia) is the permanent termination of the biological functions that define a living organism. Death would also seem to either the moment at which life ends or the state that follows life. In either way, is to lose someone very dear to people. It is a natural phenomenon that will occur to us someday. Why don't we understand death that clearly? Many people still don't know why. Some people believe that death is not the end, but a start; for a new life. They call this 'reincarnation'; life after death.

People, as social beings, cannot accept death. The thought of them and their families to disappear sends chills down their spines. Truthfully, I'm scared too. But we need to cope it because it will certainly happen to all of us someday. What will happen if people did not die? The Earth then will crumble under the effects of the super population of humans; an imbalance in the ecosystem.

We will need to accept death. Its for the better for others and ourselves. To make it easier for us, lets say that death is a start for a new chapter in our life. A way for us to change and live our lives for the best.

"Tonight will change our lives.. (part 1)

..It's so good to be by your side
But we'll cry
We won't give up the fight

We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs
And they'll think it's just cause we're young
And we'll feel so alive.."

The name of the song is "The Great Escape" and the band who sang it was Boys Like Girls. I still like the band, since I go a little nuts about some songs. Especially that one. Tee hee! Hmm.. this time, (since that is the song I picked) this blog is going to be about our favorite right: the right of freedom, and freedom.. from school! xD

Truthfully, everyone has this particular right; the right of freedom. We exercise this right every day since we can: run around, read, play, eat, sleep, talk, and have fun! Our right of freedom is often used for us to get what we want too. After all, we live in a democratic country; a nation that is free. We are truly lucky to live in a free country, unlike some countries (I don't wanna enumerate anymore) that live on too much rules (especially of the government). We can do basically anything we want and need.

But..

That is also the most abused right that we have. Since we almost always say, "Malaya naman tayong bansa ah!" the things that we do may harm not only others, but ourselves too. There are things that are not meant to be done like cheating, stealing, and worse, killing. These evil deeds are supposed to be avoided because we would harm other people and hurt everyone who cares for us. Not only that, but also we are bound by rules of the community and of the Ten Commandments of God. That is why there are rules. Rules (and regulations) keep us and others safe and help us go to the right path. The path that is good and clean, not bad and bloodstained. That's why we need to exercise our right of freedom the way that will make our live special and meaningful to others.

Now... to be continued!!

"I've seen it all...

... I have seen the trees
I have seen the willow leaves dancing in the breeze

I've seen a man killed by his best friend
And lives that were over before they were spent

I've seen what I was and I know what I'll be
I've seen it all there is no more to see..."

That song is titled "I've Seen It All" courtesy of Radiohead and Bjork. Its a little unusual when you listen to it. Anyway, about the song.. I have seen those stuff in the lyrics; of course except the said murder xD whahaha..

There's something that I can't live without for a even a measly day. That would be my trusted friend, my glasses.

I got mine when I was grade six. Failing marks in my quizzes showed up, so I was made to visit the ophthalmologist. I hesitated a little, since I would look like a nerd (I also had braces for that matter >,<) But then, when I got them, I noticed something. It seems that it frames my eyes. I love it.

I needed to get used to the glasses really quickly because the next day was Monday. I don't want to go tumbling down the stairs and get stomped on by the mob of students running for class. Public humiliation was one of my worst nightmares. =))

After graduating from my elementary years, my next problem was this: High School!! xD

“Freshman. At a Science high school. I wonder what people look like. I guess there wouldn’t have much kids wearing glasses and braces at the same time.” That was one of the stuff wondering in my head a day before classes. I was wrong. There were students… many of ‘em… wearing glasses. And braces. ”Cool! I ain’t alone here.” I thought. “Hope I can make much friends.”

And I did. Close friends in fact. We enjoyed our time and made tight bonds. Went through troubles and triumphs, and even had fun!

Ei, gotta go clean my glasses. See ya!

"What day is it?

... And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time.. "

In this one, it is from the song "You and Me" by Lifehouse. They're one of my fave bands at the moment, and that's my top song from them. Why I chose this song? 'Cause it fits what I feel right now. I can't seem to keep pace with time.

Normally I find time so fast that I realize it’s already Friday. I experienced feeling it slow down or speed up, especially on the days before the Periodical Test. Even my classmates are aware of the phenomenon.

It is actually unusual that you’d feel time goes in different rates. Sometimes, you have so much to do, but lack the time to accomplish them all. Asar kami pag ganun. On the other hand, it’ll be so slow, bored na bored ka! Mas asar kami doon!

I wished once that the upcoming week’s time would be slow. Why? Because I was having so much fun at the Main campus! But in several cases, when time’s slow, I would experience deja vu. I would know something or a scene have happened. The last times I encountered that was when we students were at the MARISCI main. Especially when I go around and around the Marikina Polytechnic College (MPC) compund. Weird.

It's a Saturday, right?! xD

"I'm so sick..

... infected with where I live
Let me life without this
Empty bliss, selfishness
I'm so sick! "

That was the chorus for "I'm So Sick" by an alternative metal rock band named Flyleaf. Right now, I feel awful. And that song doesn't even help me feel better. Seriously.

I have a cold right now that's really awful. I got it last Tuesday I guess. It rained on that day, and I wasn't able to change my clothes at once. "Haay, buhay. Parang life." -quoted from Mrs. Rafaela Arlene V. Gupit; Elementary Algebra Teacher

The cold is accompanied by some coughs. Agh. Awful.

Bad thing is there is also the fact that my head hurts once in a while too. When will this stop?! Hopefully later. So I can go for tomorrow's meeting for Journalism (We're going to make a newspaper and I'm the sports writer since I am the only member who knows someone from the school paper (Shoeland); namely Ian). =]

I'm doing my best to take some rest. I am currently absent from school. It seems to be I'm a little better on the piano when my head hurts.. weird. If you're wondering why I blogged.. the reason is, I hope that my mom's okay in Palawan. :3

I really need to recover. Yeah. I need to.
