Not As We / One-Liners

Reborn and shivering
Spat out on new terrain
Unsure, unconvincing
This faint and shaky hour

Day one, day one: start over again
Step one, step one; I'm barely making sense
For now I'm faking it 'til I'm pseudo making it
From scratch begin again
But this time I as I
And not as we


Oh, Alanis. I first heard this from an episode of House a while back, and seeing her on The Hour last week compelled me to listen to her stuff again. Not many people can write as beautifully poignant as she. There's no front with what she writes, and that's refreshing.

Moving on. Man, History's biting me in the butt. Frankly there's too much stirring in my head for me to buckle down and get immersed on Chinese and Japanese history before 1600 CE. You know what that means: time to update this baby, even if I resort to point-form.

I am currently enjoying:

Albums:

1. Evolver - John Legend
2. Oracular Spectacular - MGMT
3. Something Else - Robin Thicke
4. Paper Trail - T.I.
5. I Will Go - Starfield

Books:

1. Audrey Niffeneger's The Time Traveller's Wife
2. Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones
3. Jane Stevenson's The Empress of the Last Days
4. Soren Kierkegaard's The Seducer's Diary

Everything Else:

1. Google Chrome
2. Golden Oreos
3. Spaced DVD series (British TV series feat. Simon Pegg and Jessica Stevenson)
4. Johnson's Baby Cologne (from the Motherland)
5. Current seasons of Gossip Girl, OTH, Heroes, The Office, House, & Bones, etc. =)

And a teensy Wish List:

1. New Macbook (Pro[?])
2. Google G1 Android Phone
3. Point and shoot digital camera
4. Just For Laughs cross Canada tour tickets

Time killer indeed. Time to tackle History.
G'day friend.

  2. I heart lists. They're just so... sequential. Hah. I will comment on it in no sequential order.

    Android is sweet, but I'm waiting for a phone that's not the G1 (hopefully that's not forever). MacBook (Pro) is WIN. I heard some John Legend and I like it so far. Starfield = fave. Chrome was good until the novelty wore off. Heroes + Office = Must See TV.

    Sweet. My cousin's dad is from Leyte so you two (mon cousin et toi) are of the same breed!

    As a whole, on the Filipino music front, I think there should be more songwriting going on. I mean with the whole Charice Pempengco and the lead singer of Journey, it's a great show of Filipino talent, but where are the songwriters! People like Brian McKnight have to come in and make write a Tagalog song? (Not to say that he's not sonically gifted)

    And yes. Wendy is my baby cousin. They grow up too fast...

    That's it. Take care. (=
