The Art of Letting Go

**wala lang.. tamang senti mga girls dito sa ATO Reactive.

I realised that so many things have been happening in the lives of my teammates, and I have no idea what they are ALL about. It's not that I care less or don't care at all, I just don't feel comfortable prying on other people's lives. I do want to know what's going on and I want to be there for them. But first, I want them to know that I want to... I just don't know how...So here!

**This is my share.

The Art Of Letting Go

Put away the pictures.
Put away the memories.
I put over and over
Through my tears
I've held them till I'm blind
They kept my hope alive
As if somehow that I'd keep you here
Once you believed in a love forever more?
How do you leave it in a drawer?

Now here it comes, the hardest part of all
Unchain my heart that's holding on
How do I start to live my life alone?
Guess I'm just learning,
Learning the art of letting go.

Try to say it's over
Say the word goodbye.
But each time it catches in my throat
Your still here in me
And I can't set you free
So I hold on to what I wanted most
Maybe someday we'll be friend's forever more
Wish I could open up that door

Now here it comes, the hardest part of all
Unchain my heart that's holding on
How do I start to live my life alone?
Guess I'm just learning,
Learning the art of letting go

Watching us fade
What can I do?
But try to make it through
the pain of one more day
Without you

Where do I start, to live my life alone?
I guess I'm learning, only learning,
Learning the art of letting go.

2nd Rest Day...NO REST AT ALL

Saturday... my temples are throbbing, I'm awake but my eyes are still aching for another couple of hours of sleep. But I need to start my day ASAP so I can sleep early that night.

ITINERARY FOR SATURDAY:

1. Go to Recto, get the books that I ordered. (Sybil and Sidney Sheldon's Are You Afraid of the Dark?)
2. Go to Timog for my appointment with my Dermatologist
3. Drop by at National Bookstore to file for the renewal of my Laking National Card. (true!)
4. Grocery! Grocery! Grocery! (Yipee!!)

(oh, I almost forgot.. Have lunch?! hehe)

Arrived in Recto around 11.30am, can't wait to see MY books. I know, a lot of people don't share my passion for these wonderful wonders but buying books is one of the reasons why I am always anxious to get my salary. This time, it's Sybil, one book that I know is no longer reprinted. I bought this book for P300. Before it was for sale for P600 and this is a second-hand book. I had to beg Myrna (bookseller) to make it cheaper someday, since lagi naman akong bumibili sa kanya. (Ung 4 kong Harry Potter Hardbound books, sa kanya ko binili at P500 each and other great novels)Guess, I have proven my worth to get this for 300 smackaroos.

**sidetrip -- "Sybil" is a book about a woman named Sybil who has 13 personalities. I haven't read this one, but when I read the Table of Contents of this book, it sent chills deep down. There's a chapter describing the hierarchy of the "selves", their birth and history. (**will tell you more about it soon.)
This is a true story.

I also bought a brand new Sidney Sheldon's "Are you Afraid of the Dark?" for P250. I am so excited because the last time I bought a Sidney Sheldon book was last October, my dream novel, Sands of Time; this book is said to be used by professors in psychology classes today. (Curiosity got the better of me, so I bought it.)

I missed my appointment with my dermatologist, since I need to be at home by 4pm (para sa Wish ko lang. Heheheh, kaya sa susunod na sweldo na lang. c",)) So I just went straight to SM North Edsa to have my Laking NAtional Card (LNC) renewed and buy food.

Had lunch at 3.30pm. Grabe, hilong-hilo na ko.

Went home, read "The Summons" and cried my heart out watching "Wish Ko Lang" Waaaah!! Nakakabilib ang mga bata... Ang lalim na ng pagmamalasakit sa pamilya, kahit para sa kanila na ang bagay na natatanggap nila, ibinabahagi pa rin nila. Haaay.

:'c

busy as a bee

Just came from my off which didn't feel like it. On my 1st rest day, I laundered my clothes, cleaned the refrigerator and took care of the mistakes made on the flyers. Tried to grab a couple of hours of sleep, but I never had the chance as there were a lot of people who came and went who somehow needed something from me.

Plus, my cousin kept texting me, trying to convince me to watch their gig in Timog. I really want to come and give him and his band my support, as I know how it feels coz I've been there - my bandmates have been there... It's just that I was so tired to really go out and have fun.

My boyfriend and I had dinner -- fried luncheon meat and delicious Nido soup (my favorite!!) around 6.30pm while watching the news. After having dinner and watching the news, I continued reading "The Summons" and my boyfriend played NBA Live in his PS2. Shoot!! An omen that this is going to be a boring evening. Hohumm.

Good thing, my bestfriend, Edgran dropped by around 9.30pm. We decided to go to our favorite hang-out in Sikatuna Village -- JAVI'S!! It's a bummer that I already had dinner, so I don't have an excuse to order a porterhouse steak meal. Instead, we ordered Crispy Sizzling sisig (yummy!), Jalapeño Cheese fingers (yummier but super spicy) and sour cream fries (ahhhh, this is the life!) with beer (for Ceasar and Gran) and refillable iced tea (for me!! --Ha! is this my day or what?!)

Then, a great conversation drowned the night, til we realised it's already 2am. We went to Philcoa to pick up JB and we went to our place. We decided to hit the sack when JB and Gran went home to go to Rain's place.

I was really tired. What seemed to be a boring and tiring day turned out to be a day that ended with a great night with friends...
