Autumn Girl

In my attempt to show why I love Autumn, but hopefully not looking vain in the process (ugh)... Fall is fast approaching, and all I wish right now is to experience it once again. I miss everything about it - the pink, orange, gold, yellow, purple, and red leaves painted a wonderful memory...

Tagaytay

Temporarily gone are the days when the whole family would take spur-of-the-moment trips to Tagaytay. Today, it's just Dad and me. Nonetheless, it's always a pleasure.:o) Anyhow, just when we were about to pass by Country Suites and head to our usual breakfast place, I convinced Dad to try something new... (Wow, Dad approved to break from routine?!?!? hehehe) Well, if not for the remaining parking slot, we would have passed on the opportunity to have such lovely, lovely country breakfast at Verbena Restaurant. Thank God! Two cups of coffee later, we both agreed - it wasn't just the beautiful spanish egg casserole or the fresh fruit/juice buffet... The place boasts of authentic country atmosphere - from the fireplace, to the warm staff, to the doily-lined plates... Mom would love it, and so would Ate Jo... Sigh. I miss my Ate Jo, Apple, and even my brother-in-law, Patrick (hehe). At least Mom's coming home four hours from now...

Tagaytay trips are staple to the Nunez family - at least once a month, usually on a Sunday, we would have breakfast at either Josephine's, Bag of Beans, or Taal Vista Lodge. Then, we're off to the Mahogany Market for meat, fruits, and vegetables. Sometimes we would check out the different real estate/land for sale and drool over the Taal Lake view. Haha! And of course, throughout the trip, we just couldn't have enough kulitan, sound-tripping, and bonding moments in the car. Sigh. Life is so much different now. Sure, and like I said, it's always a pleasure being with Dad and Mom. I just miss my sisters so much...

Anyway, I broke my ipod today and I chose not to stress about it.

I cherish and I move on.

Life's too short.:o)

At Bag Of Beans, Tagaytay, October 17, 2004

Stars

Maybe I’ve been the problem
Maybe I’m the one to blame
But even when I turn it off and blame myself
The outcome feels the same

I’ve been thinking maybe I’ve been partly cloudy
Maybe I’m the chance of rain
And maybe I’m overcast
And maybe all my luck’s washed down the drain

I’ve been thinking about everyone, everyone
You look so lonely

But when I look at the stars, when I look at the stars
When I look at the stars, I see someone else
When I look at the stars, the stars
I feel like myself

Stars looking at a planet, watching entropy and pain
And maybe start to wonder
How the chaos in our lives could pass as sane
I've been thinking about the meaning of resistance
Of a hope beyond my own
And suddenly the infinite and penitent begin to look like home
I've been thinking about everyone, everyone you look so empty

But when I look at the stars, when I look at the stars
When I look at the stars, I see someone else
When I look at the stars, the stars
I feel like myself

Everyone, everyone feels so lonely
Everyone yeah everyone feels so empty

When I look at the stars,
When I look at the stars,
When I look at the stars,
I feel like myself
When I look at the stars
The stars
I see someone...
