I stumbled upon this poem that I have written few years ago. I am not a professional writer or something. But seriously, it would be super duper awesome if someone adds melody to this it. I feel like its going to be great.

Get ready for some sad words over here. I still haven’t thought of the title.

From a far i can see you there
She doesn’t even take a glance or stop and stare
From this moment I reminisce again
I knew I loved you since time begin

I can feel right now my thirsty heart
All i need is your little love
I wonder why are you looking at the stars?
Tell me baby, is everything alright?

Why do you always keep on hiding?
You really have no idea that you’re the one Im missing
I miss the time how we hide this paramour
Makes me stupid and wanna love you more

I miss the time we exchange our quotes
But most especially your sweet love notes
We can sleep all day and feel so happy
Then we’ll meet in our dreams walking slowly

Hand in hand together forever
In every detail I still do remember
I tried to listen to your heart beating out loud
Then i wake up and notice you’re not around

I still can’t believe that this would happen
This is ourlives all of a sudden
I wake up every morning with your name on my mind
And before my eyes shut its still you on my heart

I wish i could just turn back time
Where our love is still alive
Now I stand here don’t know what Im risking
Looks like another years of waiting

LSS: Floor on the Intelligence

More or less a year ago, I was randomly searching live streams on UStream and ended up watching this Japanese DJ with his turntables playing electro house music with his own mix. So sad I hardly remember the UStream link. But anyway, there were about 10-15 viewers, playing from his basement, and I cant even understand what he was saying in between of songs.

Who would have thought that I will find a great music with random searching? I rarely listen to house electro style music but this definitely made an exception. Seems like the other 10-15 viewers were his regular viewers and knew some of the songs that he was playing.

Floor on the Intelligence also known as Hayato Tanaka. I tried to google this musician but seems like they are not so popular in Japan or anywhere else. They dont even have Wikipedia or even illegal ways to download their music. Timingly, I was talking to my friend, Ken, about it and he was floored and amazed how I discovered the artist. Since I cant find all of their songs on YouTube, Grooveshark, etc to listen to.. Ken purchased the whole album for me as his birthday gift :)

Now, click the "PAUSE" sign in my automatic song on the blog, there at the left side of this page.. then press "PLAY" from this embed YT video. Definitely a good vibe music. Floor on the Intelligence.

Here's my favorite song from their Romaholic album released last 2009, Untouchable.

Everyday is a new realization. I have been out of Twitter for almost a week now and deactivated my Facebook so no one will assume that I am checking my page. Got into an argument with my sister because she asked me through Facebook to call her. Failed to read cause I wasn't checking.

Since my iPhone functions as a cellphone like for text messaging /call and not a substitute if I am away from the computer, today felt like people have been missing me already. Lol. I have received bunch of text messages from people that they already miss me, where am I, why the hell they can't find me on Facebook, and where are my Happy Lemon spams. It kind of overwhelming especially if the messages were from the people you least expected to. I definitely felt loved.

It was a great decision to leave the social networking sites for quite some time. People should learn to have this kind of "OFF" days. Even just for a week, or even just for a day. Just to feel like the old days when there's no such thing. I still love writing letters to someone. Too bad it usually dont usually send them because instead of visiting the post office, I will just go: "Nah, I will post it on her/his wall na lang." Haha

The Sensitive One

As what other people see through me, they may see me as a person with the strongest personality. Someone who's dominating, pioneering, and a leader.

That's what my friends usually define me. But who is Ayes in the other side of life? At home? As a daughter or a sister?

Some people say, your personality defines who you are at home. (Or maybe I am wrong with that one, I dont know. Lol) But anyway, its the other way around for me.

I am the shy type of the family. I am not outspoken. When I feel like there's something wrong, I am scared of confrontations. I AM THE SENSITIVE ONE. I feel everything. Family who brings so much anger or negativity upset me. "Reverse psychology" never worked on me. Instead, it pulls down my self-esteem. I know most of the time what a person is feeling in a situation, I know what to react, but I am not quite able to comment on it. I am fragile.

I am a fighter for others as what they see. Stronger, energetic, present in the moment, happier to help people. But at home, I am actually struggling.

21

I havent checked my social networking sites for not more than two days and its already killing me. Lol

Days have passed, I am closer and closer to the end. Almost July, my mind and heart are completely not into this. As I quit social networking sites for a few weeks. It made me realized that each day is slower than the usual. I cannot wait to get over with my nursing-responsibilities and duties. Everyone pretty much know that I have been waiting for this day to come. Even wished I was in coma while waiting.

My plans and my life are all over the place. Here I am waiting for the first week of July to be done and that signals that I am forever done with one chapter of my life. I am waiting for this do-or-die out of the country plan which may arrive around the same time too. I got pending "offer" that is related to social media, artists, and music, which I think might be my stepping stone of something bigger in the future. I have long time plans that it may take me for another 2-3 more years. I am considering of shifting career.

I am 21, I have no clue if it is normal in my age not to clearly see my future in the next 5 or 10 years. They say I am young but I feel like I have already wasted so much time. My "I should have done this and that" moments.

I am 21, and I havent accomplished anything. Feels like I am useless and it sucks big time.

New Experience: Chatime

Who would've thought that milk teas would be as huge as this here in Philippines? From Coffee, to Froyo, and now milk tea. One of those is called Chatime. The famous Taiwanese milk tea is finally in town and starting to captivate Pinoy hearts. Serves in regular and large sizes, and almost all of the drinks are less than a hundred pesos. What we tried the other day is one of the bestsellers called Grass Jelly with Fresh Milk and Chatime roasted milk tea with black pearls.

I was kind of disappointed with the location of Chatime in Makati though, it was in between Landmark and Glorietta. No seats and always crowded. But nevertheless, the drinks I tried so far are superb and I would love to visit and try other drinks soon!

New Experience: Gong Cha

Gong Cha - the Tea for Royals.

Tried Gong Cha yesterday while waiting for my sister as it was suggested by some friends since I love milk teas. Based on what I read, Gong Cha was first launched in Taiwan and now aims the whole Asia, and who knows? Probably the world. Haha. Good thing about it is that you can choose the sugar level of your order from 0% to 100% sugar.

There's three steps how to taste each texture of a Gong Cha drink:

1. Drink with your mouth. To taste the foamy milk on top.

2. Drink with straw. To taste the original tea at the bottom.

3. Mix the milk and tea. For the extraordinary taste of the mixture.

I must say, it all tastes differently with those 3 steps.

Plus, I like the happy faces and service of the Gong Cha crew. They were all welcoming and convincing. They even tried to explain everything to me. Haha. Since the seats were outside, when I was about to leave and look at them, they all waved at me. As in everyone. Haha. So sweet lang. :) Like ko yang good service since I am very makwento and I always talk to the crew and people around.

Gong Cha is located at 1st floor SM Mall of Asia, beside Music Hall and Timezone, in front of Bingo Bonanza.

Milk Tea with Black Pearl Jelly

Gong Cha Milk Green Tea

(Looks exactly like Green Tea with Rocksalt & Cheese from Happy Lemon. But two different drinks with different strengths of green tea)

Gong Cha Milk Wintermelon Tea

(my fave so far!)

New Experience: Cafe Boheme

Last Tuesday after my out of town trip with some friends, we decided to stop by at BF to hang out before going home. We stopped at Serenitea but unfortunately the place was full so we walked till we saw this "Café Boheme". Great ambiance, no doubt with that. Plus it has a free WIFI service.

Too bad all my positive "first" impressions on Café Boheme just vanished after I experienced their service. After we placed our orders (I was the last person) we already did noticed their slow service. It will probably take for about 20-30 minutes before they finish to prepare a drink. Since I was the last person who ordered, my friend noticed that the barista isn't preparing any drink anymore. She went up to them and asked for my drink. They all looked confused and checked the scattered order sheets on their table. As expected, they placed my order and got my money, and yet forgot to prepare my drink. I was so furious I wanted to bitch out and cancel my drink as they prepare but I was too tired and I was feeling sick already. As I received my drink, I asked the barista in front of me how much is the oatmeal cookie. She doesn't even know the prices of their menu. How disappointing. She asked the other barista for the price in front of me. It was so irritating. I asked for an evaluation form and they said they don't have one, said sorry for not placing my order, blamed the other barista, etc.

My point is.. In every coffee shop, or even restaurants.. its an SOP to provide an evaluation form for the customers right? Before they hire an employee, one should go through training and master all their menu. Scattered order sheets are never impressive to the eyes of customers, no wonder why they forgot to prepare my drink.

Café Boheme is located in front of Tides in BF. I wouldn't recommend. Bad service. Should've just walked at the near by Starbucks.
