THE REAL THING by Kalapana

This song has been haunting me for days. Core sang this during our videoke night last week. A midst all the noise and celebration during the night, this song totally tugged my heart. Read on why. I suggest you search and listen to the song if you got the time.

Here comes the night
Once again
I'll be feeling lonely
Oh, if only things could work out like you plan
Where can love be
Tell me why it's so hard to find somebody
Who will stand by me
And take the time to understand
And show me love again

I want the real thing
Or nothing at all
I need someone that I can be sure will catch me
If I should fall
Someone who'll be there when I call
Then I'll know that it's the real thing
I want the real thing
To warm me each night
Someone to love me over and over
Making the future bright
Someone who'll be there when I call
Just give me the real thing

Where is the moon?
Won't it smile
On just one more dreamer
Let your beams come down
And fill my empty room
Here comes the night
But if there's still a chance
That love can find me
I'll be here
Crossing my fingers

I want to know for sure
That I can feel secure
Knowing I've found an everlasting love
And once I get that under control
Then I won't let go

Ang nice di ba?

The Last of Team Mike

The Move

My almost 12 months working in Makati has accustomed me to the area. I know parking is bad in Makati but I've got used to it. When people hear that I work in Makati, they say I'm sosyal or something. But it's not. Yeah, people are almost always in their corporate clothes, carrying their suit cases with matching cell phones almost attached to their ears. People seem to be always on the go. There are foreigners, who seem to know their way around, everywhere. There are the high-rise buildings and condos as well as the high-end shops and restos. But I never got intimidated about the place. In fact, I loved it. The fact there are food kiosks around my office was enough to satisfy my appetite (hello laking ala carte ata 'to ng UP). I can walk around Makati without feeling tired provided that I see nice things and nice people. Did you know that I walk from MRT Ayala Station to my office near Paseo almost everyday? That's some exercise! Of course I passby SM, Glorietta and Landmark and take the bridgeway. Isn't it nice? On weekends there are various food sales. About commuting, there's always the reliable Ayala-Washington jeep. I sure did have problems commuting in buses but I've come to terms with it. My friends are also Makati workers. I am going to miss working in Makati.

In a few days our office will be moving to Net Quad at the Fort. The Fort used to be just a gimmick place for me. But soon I'll be working in the area. There were a lot of clamour about our move to the Fort. This was more about the transpo. Commuting at The Fort would only mean by cab or by taking the Fort bus. Last time I heard the management was just making arrangements in having a 24/7 trip for the Fort buses. I'm no fan of taxi cabs. Oh well! About parking, there's still no word about it. Since it's The Fort, food is expected to be expensive. Let's just see.

I'm sure there would be new adjustments but part of me is positive about this move.

New adventures here I come!

About Overlooked

I was told this morning that I got in the new process. And my reaction? Nothing! It has lost it's meaning. Can you blame me?
