“You are so beautiful to me
Can’t you see?
Your everything I hoped for
Your everything I need
You are so beautiful to me”
(joe cocker)

12:28 am.  just got home.

wow.  the power of great music.  beautiful lines from a classic song.  says it all, i guess.  what if somebody sings that song to you?  aint that gonna be sweet? 

i hope bruce does not sing that song to me.  LOL  but i wanna sing that song to someone though.  oh no.  not to bruce.  LOL

today the store across the street was again robbed.  i think somebody ran off with something and the guys tried to run after the thief.  surprisingly the cops came. LOL  well.  is there anything new?  does it get any better than this?  i think the answer is no.  obviously.

i was ranting about my book the past weeks.  i think i rant about it all the time, how excited i am or i was.  but i put it on hold for now.  what im saying is, yes its still in the pipeline.  but i am delaying it for now.  i just wanna be in the zone before i start editing the thing.  i just wanna be in the right frame of mind again before i continue with the thing.  but as all things stand and still stand, as all things said and written will be fulfilled, so will it be.  in the right time.  in the perfect time.

“The thunder and the rain,
The way you say my name
After all the clouds go by
the simple things remain”
(jim brickman)

oh yes.  beneath all the complications, in the end the simple things matter most.  in the end, after all the dying embers, whats left is just the basic, the simple things in life.  its not just my thoughts.  its what i have seen so far.  its true.  and its real.

coz i think nothing beats simplicity.  the basics.  in it lies, the real beauty.  its like what someone really looks like at first light.  yes, right after waking up in the morning beneath the make up, the concealers and all.  its the the true you.

its like what someone is really like in intense pressure.  its what you really are.  its what you are really made of.  it defines someone.  its your character.   the true you.  does it make sense?

duirng the past days of my hibernation, i really took the time to thank Love for all the help so far.  she might not even notice it but everytime i talk all about my stuff to her, its like me venting out to her.  its like me sharing my load with her.  its like sharing the burden with her.  and those things are not left unappreciated.  coz by just her mere listening to me, she made me feel im not alone out here.  and that made me feel quite better. 

let me say this again, thanks dude.  thanks for all the help so far.  its not the end, there’ll be more for sure.  you just got one of the best pair of ears out here.  but when your time comes, when you need someone to talk to, ill do the same as well.  anytime.  thanks for helping me break all my fall somehow.  thanks for being never tired in listening to all my whining.  LOL  all my hugs for you, dude.

lately, we were sharing some of our food stuff.  you know, i let Love try some of our food.  the goldiluck’s polvoron or the short bread cookie and the choc nut.  LOL  oh she loved the choc nut.  i was telling her that the choc nut was the thing we bought in street stores everywhere back home.  she let me have some of her arabic cookie and a mexican cookie which tasted more like choc nuts.  she loved the choc nuts better, though.  i remember way back then i gave her some butter scotch too and she loved it as well. 

she has a thing for the sweets too.  you know how her taste buds are already kinda messed up coz of too much spicy stuff.  i was telling her about the brazo de mercedes cake roll.  we checked it on the goldiluck’s online shop but it costs a lot online though.  well.  im planning to experiment making one and let her try it.  LOL  the recipe looks so easy.  we’ll see.  LOL

i just got some butter scotch from a family friend back home and i was telling Love i’ll bring some for her this friday.  and i was telling her ill try to check out the Filipino store and see if they have some choc nuts.  ill buy two bags probably and we’ll eat it to death.  LOL. 

this sharing we had lately is kind of fun experience , dude.  its like learning from each other’s cultures.  you know how we are the same asians yet kinda much diverge in culture.  though we may share some similar cultural traits, we still have the differences like in the food and other stuff, you know.  well.  there’s always more to share.  more stories to tell.  more adventures to share.  more bloopers to laugh about.  more stories about bruce.  more movies to talk about.  and lately, more songs to share.

im always amazed at her thoughts.  well, on top of her being really good with numbers, you know.  its like she thinks way more than her age.  at a very youg age, she has gained a certain kind of depth in her.  i dunno how and why.  probably, its her exposure to the more serious stuff.  i was writing about her views way back about a guy whom she used to work with back in the zoo.  she was telling me how lazy that guy was and how she’s really pissed off with lazy people.  hahaha  oh dude.  that made me laugh.  and you know how she’s very upfront and all.  dude, thats something.  and i like that.

she’s like a younger sister i never had.   in my really chaotic times, in her i found a family.  in the really rock bottom times, in her i found a listening ear and a cushion to break my fall.   

anyway, thanks again, dude.  there are no inputs left unheard.  more to come and more things to thank you about.  ill do the same when your turn comes.  really.  so shine on, dude.  but im sorry, i can never give you a black mom.  and btw that evil girl sucks.  and i mean it.  LMAO

2:37 am.

well.  another day.  another story.  another step forward.  and its time to go.

im out.
