Heard this song over the radio yesterday. i so like this song, i don'tknow why.but it's kinda soothing, relazing in a country melodramatic way...

Leader of the Band
Dan Fogelberg

An only child
Alone and wild
A cabinet maker’s son
His hands were meant
For different work
And his heart was known
To none --
He left his home
And went his lone
And solitary way
And he gave to me
A gift I know I never
Can repay
A quiet man of music
Denied a simpler fate
He tried to be a soldier once
But his music wouldn't wait
He earned his love
Through discipline
A thundering, velvet hand
His gentle means of sculpting souls
Took me years to understand.
The leader of the band is tired
And his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through
My instrument
And his song is in my soul --
My life has been a poor attempt
To imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy
To the leader of the band.
My brothers' lives were
Different
For they heard another call
One went to chicago
And the other to st. paul
And I'm in colorado
When I'm not in some hotel
Living out this life I've chose
And come to know so well.
I thank you for the music
And your stories of the road
I thank you for the freedom
When it came my time to go --
I thank you for the kindness
And the times when you got tough
And, papa, I don't think i Said
'i love you' near enough --
The leader of the band is tired
And his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through
My instrument
And his song is in my soul --
My life has been a poor attempt
To imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy
To the leader of the band
I am the living legacy
To the leader of the band.

tantrums...extremely moody...

huwaaat?!!

honestly, i don't know how the hell i'll be able to survive this week.....hope i'll be able to maintain some balance especially with regards to my sanity...

clueless in makati...again!

yet another makati (mis)adventure! i should really consider familiarizing myself with makati, esp the business area! so that when a guard from Libran says i should walk to AIM and i'm wearing a smart casual attire and it's 12 noon, running late for an appointment (which said 12 noon!), i will take a cab instead! and not walk a good 3-4 blocks and an extra 4 meters to realize i've already passed the road leading to AIM... also, i should have just eaten lunch... or maybe started my day early and went to SM NORTH first and ate lunch before heading to Makati. 12noon turned into 1:30! so that i won't hear my stomach grumbling at 3pm because it's empty...the worst of my "application" stories so far... no front desks, no available employee to entertain your queries... what the heck! stop being so bitchy bout it all joyce! and oh, i messed up in the exam! oh well...

got back to school at 6pm, so much for hoping to be able to go to SM North for the medals and go home early...

happy tuesday to y'all... don't mind me - just me PMS-ing!

here's something nice for you guys to look at:D

ME!:D BUT OF COURSE!

THIS IS MY BLOGSPOT AFTER ALL!

NO VIOLENT REACTION!hehe:D

inspired by someone else's diary aka blog

but not a friendster blog...

from cainta to taytay to drop off my sis, then off to school in qc. as usual took a nap in class. (am so not into the subject). lots of stuff... then off to makati....

the makati (mis)adventure: arrived at 2pm, an hour early for my appointment, decided to freshen up a bit in glorietta. g3 carpark -> g4 lounge -> ayala avenue (saw summit center) didn't know where to park went to the back. but lo and behold the streets aren't exactly parallel... ended up parking in one of the parking areas there. was running late for the appointment. hailed a cab. forgot to ask the place where i parked! talked to the driver: TORDESILLAS. the ticket said: BPI parking. forgot if i was able to lock the car. prayed silently... almost 3pm. got to RSC. registered. rode the first available elevator. not the right elevator! got on the right elevator. got out on the wrong floor! yada yada... RSC -> cab back to Tordesillas -> G3 again.met up with pat and she!waaah! are we old? NO!

total expenses for the transpo: 120 for the parking, 90 for the cab! I SHOULD HAVE COMMUTED! I SHOULD HAVE JUST LEFT THE CAR IN G3! next time!but i don't wanna go back, feel i didn't do well...

g3 -> back to QC! ->PRoj 6, pick-up dextrose bottles -> UP, Ilang-Ilang Residence Hall -> EEE Building -> home....

but well, someone just gotta ruin ur day... too proud... oh well... pucha JP, whatever will make him stop? he's worse than riyann pa ata(in cha's case not mine...).... ah ewan... don't wanna be mean...

hp didn't call me back though they did with cha... oh well...

*cute cute* too bad he's taken...oh well, at least it's something to smile about. and look forward to...:D

our prof, finally approved our new topic... chocolate coated/covered coffee beans and mocha spread... hope there'd be no more major objections...

time check: 23 days before ChEckpoint (gotta finalize the plans and start the preparations...), 2++ months before 2nd sem ends... hope i graduate on time.... wish me luck... include me in your prayers...
