tulog na dilat

So the mere fact that I'm back means I survived our Zamboanga Sibugay trip a couple of weeks ago. Paranoid over nothing huh? Nothing's much really changed except for the fact that there are a number of military checkpoints all over the area, as compared to none when I last went there. And the checkpoints are not like the ones in Manila where they just peer at you through the windows, this time, they ask that we open the windows and all compartments so they can shine flashlights in our faces and in the compartments and even in the feet area. They even ask the men na huwag sumandal so they can check if they have guns tucked in their waistbands. All this is due mainly to the Italian priest's kidnapping a couple of days before the said trip. This would all have been good if not for that nagging feeling that government troops and 'non-friendly' troops basically look the same, down to their weapons and uniforms, so we actually don't have an inkling whether those checkpoints are good or not.

So anyway, in other news, boyfriend and I are turning 3 this July. Whee.. It's been three years (and a couple of months counting the courtship period) since he overcame his ka-torpehan - with a lot of prodding from our friends and with a bit of help from good ol' San Miguel. Somehow, I still can't believe that it's been that long. We were friends a bit back in high school but haven't seen each other during the most part of college. Actually, I last saw him during freshman year in college and then the next was that night after graduation, and then we were inseparable since.

I am a romantic schmuck and all that but I just realized that we haven't really had our own 'theme' song. Haha, how corny and cheesy am I. But what we do have are a couple of songs that have become last song syndromes for both of us through the span of time that we've been together =D

1. The first song he actually sang to me way back in high school:

Before I Let You Go
Freestyle

I could still remember yesterday
We were so in love in a special way
And knowing that you love me makes me
Feel oh so right But now I feel lost
Don't know what to do
Each and everyday I think of you
Holding back the tears
I'm trying with all my might
Because you're gonna left me standing
All alone
And I know I've got to face tomorrow on my own
But baby before I let you go I want to say I love you
I hope that you're listening coz it's true baby
You'll be forever in my heart
And I know that no one else will do yeah
So before I let you go I want to say
I love you...hmmm...
I wish that it would be just
Like before
I know I could have given you so
Much more
Even though you know I'd given you all my love
I miss your smile; I miss your kiss
Each and everyday I reminisce Coz baby it's you that I'm always
Dreaming of
Because you're gonna left me standing
All alone
And I know I've got to face tomorrow on My own
But baby before I let you go I want to sayI love you
I hope that you're listening coz it's true baby
You'll be forever in my heart
And I know that no one else will do yeah
So before I let you go, I want to say, yeah
Slaming the door is never easy
But I love you so
That's why I'll set you free, yeah
I know, someday, somehow,I'll find the way
To leave it all behind me
Guess it wasn't meant to be baby
Before I let you go, I want to say
I love you
I hope that you're listening
Coz it's true babe
You'll be forever in my heart
And I know that no one else will do, yeah
So before I let you go I want to say...
So before I let you go I want to say...

2. The first song he sang to me when we became a couple:

214
Rivermaya

Am i real?
Do the words i speak before you
Make you feel
That the love i have for you
Will see no ending?
Well, if you look into my eyes
Then you should know
That you have nothing here to doubt

Nothing to fear
And you can lay your questions down
'cause if you'll hold me
We can fade into the night
And you'll know
The world could die
And everything may lie
Still you shan't cry'cause time may pass
But longer than it'll lastI'll be by your side
Take my hand
And gently close your eyes
So you could understand
That there's no greater love tonight
Than what i've for you
Well, if you feel the same way for me
Then let go
So we can journey to a garden
No one knows
Life is short, my darling
So tell me that you love me
So we can fade into the night
And you'll know
The world could die
And everything may lie
Still you shan't cry'cause time may pass
But longer than it'll lastI'll be by your side
Forever by your sideI want you to know
The world could lie
And everything may die
Still you shan't cry'cause time may pass
And everything won't last
I'll be by your side
Forever by your side(2x)
So you won't cry

3. Just because I like the lyrics of this one:
Gemini
Sponge Cola

Come a little closer
Flicker in flight
We’ll have about an inch space
But I’m here I can breathe in
What you breathe out

Let me know if I’m doing this right
Let me know if my grip’s too tight
Let me know if I can stay all of my life
Let me know if dreams can come true
Let me know if this one’s yours too

‘Cause I see it
And I feel itRight here
And I feel you right here

The vacuous night
Steps aside to give meaning
To Gemini’s dreaming
The moon on it’s back
And the seemingly
Veiled room’s lit
By the same star

And I feel it right here
And I feel you right here

Forgive the cheesy post. Just remembered last night that we were turning three and thought of writing this down to remember them better. Hehe. Proof that I am hopeless after all
