a bottle of wine and a lot of fireworks.....

it's 2 in the morning and the celebration still hasn't ended...
new years day just can't get any more festive than this...

my father just bought a load of firecrackers yesterday end we enjoyed ourselves (me, my younger brother, and my dad) with the lights and bangs of the night...
my eardrums haven't felt this rattled-out after one complete year...

and as usual, telecoms suspended all messages and services during the crucial "heppy new year!" greeting time... i was pissed off for a moment because of that...
(i wasn't able to yell that greeting to my pickpocket... hahaha :D )

another year have come and go... and thus ended the first decade of the 21st century...

i haven't really done much this decade... "i just grew up", would be my answer to anyone who asked me... well, that's what i really did...
i went to elementary, and high-school, now undergoing college life... learned a lot of things... got new gadgets and stuff... got mugged and cried on the streets for it (i just laugh about it now).... made new friends and maintained old ones...

life still has so much to offer... this year still has much to offer itself, with the upcoming elections and such...

this will be a fresh start for me, a new year and the second decade of growth and discovery...
what will we discover next?... i guess we should still reinvent the wheel and strive for perfection...

and so, a toast!... for a new year and another adventure to life!... to us!...

a very happy new year to all!

we sing, we dance, and we laugh all the more....

these last few weeks have been the bomb...
as the title goes, well, that's pretty much all i did...
i partied harder than an part of my life...
oh happy days...

almost everyday became an adventure, everyday a new song to sing, and a new dance step...
everyday became much more colorful and vibrant with colors i've never seen before...
i want to live this life over and over again, until i memorize each line and situation...
i'd like to meet everyone again, say hello, exchange ideas once more...
i'd miss these days... as all of the other days before it...
especially to my dear pickpocket, without you, i won't have someone to chase after...

living a young life is tiring, and i'll treasure these moments...
when we grow old and wrinkly, these memories will make us relive these golden days of youth...

a toast to youth and happiness... another toast to life... and one last toast to us!

pickpocket...

there's nothing now in my pocket
all thanks to you, dear pickpocket.
why do you smile, and laugh, and dance
whilst i try to look for one golden chance.

are you willing to give back?
the thing i've lost from your attack.
i doubt i can ever have it again
what you've stolen, i can never retain.

dear pickpocket, know what?, you can keep it.
it's yours now, take good care of it.
but i think i'll steal something from you too,
someday, somehow, i think i'll be able to.

but for now, take good care
you'll never know then i'll be there.
to steal yours so i can have one too,
someday, somehow, i think i'll be able to.

gray to milky way

i stared up to the night sky,
it was dull and gray, the usual
you came near me, you asked why
said it was fine, said i was normal.

time flew away like a mocking bird,
soon enough your voice was all i heard
i told a joke, and you simply lauged
i looked silly, i thought i was daft

never have i seen a brighter face,
one that illuminated me so
a star on this lonely earth, i saw
i want to remain in this time and space.

under these artificial clouds i breathe,
i don't feel i am anywhere beneath
my dark and gloomy sky of gray,
turned into a one-star milky way

underneath the cloack... i see you

underneath it all, i see you
the real you, i know who you are
you are my dearest friend,
i hope that i am yours too.

i know what you've been through,
i am the one who knows your secrets.
you are another part of me,
and i am the other side of you.

how the moon shines upon us,
we shine our lights to each other's path.
our dark sides we've shared always,
may it be lit by my light, i hope.

i pray for your well-being,
as i do i think how much i cherish,
every golden moment spent with you,
i will always remember.

you are my friend,
come to me and i will listen.
all your thoughts and emotions,
i will always hear them.

for i am the dark side of the moon,
and you are the stars that illuminate
this dark and secretive face of mine,
beneath the facade we see.
