Ohhhriight!

We went to Glorietta to watch Twilight (10:30pm - 12:00am something). I was really disappointed. Argh, I super don't like Robert Pattinson as Edward, he's creepy. I wasn't kilig at all, Cea and I were more interested in the "11minute rule" of david. haha. The movie was funny though :)) and I liked the fight scene. Alice was such a cutie.

We ate in choices first, okay, we were in poverty. haha. We were really noisy and we were singing pa Les Mis songs. Ohhriight! Sawi, O.M.O (On My Own) video :P

David: safe?! :))

Went to Rustans > our tambayan. haha. Cea was looking for a Santa costume, cutie :). Saw a lot of adorable and disturbing stuff. Nicole, I forgot na your "hirits"! Saw Icia there! AHHH, rustans na nga lang may global warming pa, duuude, research paper haha. Dancing Elmo and Goober, very disturbing :| Exploring the deepest part of Rustans, haha walang tao :)) The glow in the dark shoes. Emo and malandi clothes for children, tsk tsk. :\. cribs!

Went to starbucks an hour before the movie. Cea was being...:|..i dunno, her "hirits" are so not like her :] you know the..."i wanna see you guys..." HAHA. We planned na the birthday celebrations, sooo excited :]

On My Own

And now Im all alone again
no where to turn no one to go to
Without a home without a friend without a face to say hello to
And now the night is near
now I can make believe hes here

Sometimes I walk alone at night when everybody
else is sleeping
I think of him and then I'm happy with
the company I'm keeping
The city goes to bed
And I can live inside my head

On my own,
Pretending he's beside me,
All alone, I walk with him till morning.
Without him, I feel his arms around me,
And when I lose my way, I close my eyes,
And he has found me...

In the rain,
The pavement shines like silver,
All the lights are misty in the river,
In the darkness the trees are full of starlight,
And all I see is him and me,
Forever and forever...

And I know it's only in my mind,
That I'm talking to myself and not to him,
And although I know that he is blind,
Still I say, there's a way for us...

I love him,
But when the night is over,
He is gone, the river's just a river
Without him the world around me changes,
The trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full of strangers.

I love him,
But everyday I'm learning,
All my life,
I've only been pretending,
Without me,
His world will go on turning,
A world that's full of happiness,
That I have never known...

I love him... I love him...
I love him... But only on my own...

HEY HEY YOU KNOW IT!

ROCK IT. SHAKE IT. MOVE IT. DO IT.
SHOW 'EM WHAT YOU'VE GOT.
