So close no matter
how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart.
Forever trusting who we are.
And nothing else matters.
Never opened myself this way.
Life is ours; we live it our way.
All these words I don't just say.
And nothing else matters.
Trust I seek and I find in you.
Every day for us something new,
open mind for a different view,
and nothing else matters.
Never care for what they say.
Never care for games they play.
Never care for what they do.
Never care for what they know.
And I know.
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart.
Forever trusting who we are.
And nothing else matters.

Silence.
FILE 109.
Pardon me if I was unusually quiet, especially inside the train. I had to
distance myself from you. Over the past few days a certain fondness has been
upsounding itself, and of course I have to assume all of it, in the name of
friendship. I didn't see it coming, but the defenses I had fortified are gone
and I had become vulnerable again--to the
laughter you bring, and the pain that may come with it. And so I thought it best
to just shut my mouth.
If this is another case of swimming lessons, I will stop swimming now. Only
if you'd swim with me will it be worthwhile. And as I see it now, I will have to
assume again just to be bloodless, that you will never ever swim.

No Parking.

Ako ay nagbabalik. Medyo wala akong gana mag-update dahil yung
pinagkakaabalahan ko nitong mga nakaraang linggo e di pa alam ng mga magulang
ko. Medyo may lisensiya na ngayon, kaya sige, tunghayan niyo itong mga hampaslupa na ito...
Hindi ko rin maintindihan kung bakit parang ang daming free time nitong apat
na ito. Wala sigurong mga girlfriend. Kaya't may nalalaman
pang pa-ganito-ganito.
Anyway...

Life offers different snapshots everyday, each of which is unique in its own
right.
All of which can be captured in riffs, in chords, in verses, in
melodies and... in words.
Words are willing to be servants for the
willing wordsmith. Will, it's all I have.

Lennon.
FILE 106.
25th anniversary ng pagkamatay ni John Lennon kahapon. Sabi ko nga sa radio
commentary ko kahapon sa DZUP, hindi pa nag-me-meiosis yung sperm at egg cells
na bumuo sa kin, patay na si Lennon. Well, never really got the chance to
appreciate Lennon that much. Kakarampot na Beatles song lang ang alam ko. Unlike
a lot of people around the world.
Liam Gallagher of Oasis. Looks alike, talks alike, and sings alike
Lennon. He has this quote: "John Lennon thinks he's God. Well, I just think
I'm John Lennon." Fookin Oasis.
Medyo creepy lang kasi bago ko nalaman na kahapon ang 25th anniversary, ang
una kong nadatnan sa TV pagbukas ko nung umaga e video ng Imagine.
65 na dapat siya ngayon, imagine the music he could have created for the past
25 years. Then again, maybe it's meant to be.

Vocal Folds.
FILE 105.
Did you know that it's improper to call your vocal cords as vocal cords? They
are folds.
I've been bombarding myself with all these did-you-know trivia about the voice for
the past few weeks... that it's improper to do this, to do that... and some more
blah-blah. I've got a lot of things to learn.
I was calling up a friend last night when I got a
"subscriber-can't-be-reached" message. I remembered my classes
with Mam Pinky, the voice behind Globe balance inquiry checks. After every vocal exercise, she'd say automatic sweet nothingsto boost our confidence: you're getting there or you're
improving. Even though these words sound like plain morale boosters, knowing
they come from someone who does voice-overs for Globe, Philippine Airlines and
many others too many to mention, I digest them in sincerely.
So when Mam Pinky told us during one of our classes to love our voice, I took
that to heart.
Because inferiority complex has set in me when it comes to it. A rather
premature thought though. I was just in fact using it improperly. Here enters
all the voice trivia I've bombarded myself with. I just have to understand how
my vocal mechanism work. Know that each and every one's voice is unique. And
I'll be fine.
