Here We Are...

.:Today’s LSS:.

Call me a sap, but I find most of the sad songs of Boyz II Men among their best work…

Water Runs Dry
by Boyz II Men

Wait
Don’t wait for the water
Wait
Don’t wait for the water

We don’t even talk anymore
And we don’t even know what we argue about
Don’t even say I love you no more
’cause saying how we feel is no longer allowed
Some people will work things out
And some just don’t know how to change

Chorus:
Let’s don’t wait till the water runs dry
We might watch our whole lives pass us by
Let’s don’t wait till the water runs dry
We’ll make the biggest mistake of our lives
Don’t do it baby

Now they can see the tears in our eyes
But we deny the pain that lies deep in our hearts
Well maybe that’s a pain we can’t hide
’cause everybody knows that we’re both torn apart
Why do we hurt each other
Why do we push love away

(Chorus)

Don’t do it baby
Don’t do it baby
Wait
Watch
Don’t wait for the water
Wait
Don’t wait

Some people will work things out
And some just don’t know how to change

(Chorus)

Wait
Don’t do it baby
Wait
Don’t do it baby
Wait
Watch
Wait
No, no baby
We might watch our whole lives, yeah
Don’t wait for the water

.:More What The....?!?:.

Madame Imelda Marcos invites you to a discussion of her projects and how we can help build a beautiful Philippines together at 6:30 PM, Wednesday, August 10, at her home 204 Mariano Marcos Street, San Juan. Dinner will be served. Please invite friends and text Cecille Ferrer for confirmation of your attendance. Thanks!

WHAT THE...?!?

My pre-conceived notions about the former first lady aside, how did I end up getting invited? I suppose it had more to do with ma'am Cecille than anything else, but still, to be invited to Imelda Marcos' party feels rather... odd.

Especially when you consider that my grandfather's second cousin is Ninoy Aquino...

.:Let’s Hope This Works Out:.

To keep things spicy during my watch, my show now has a call-in segment where I get to interview my listeners and ask what’s keeping them up in the morning. Let’s hope it all works out. I’m a bit nervous because listeners tend to try and get away with funky stuff on the air, so I hope none of that happens on my watch. Heh.

I'm trying to market the show as the show of choice for call center people. I guess that's a nice niche to capture...

.:See Ya:.

Went to Jobert's house last Saturday, where I was given a sneak peak to “Orgazmo”, which was a really hilarious film, to say the least. Too bad I didn’t get to finish it, but it’s no big deal.

Got to know a couple of new people, and unless I’m mistaken, one’s from Xavier, the other’s from ICA. They’re both half-Chinese and all, so interesting conversations ensued from that fact.

In any case, the whole party was really fun. I don’t really have to go much into details, but everything about the party was great. From the Videoke (Christmas songs rule. But nobody managed to top Elvin’s score that night.) to Taboo to Guillotine, it was all good. Too bad my faulty memory kept me from remembering who the people I was introduced to were. I only remembered their names, but not their weblogs… ah, well.

Jobert’s despedida, with all the good food and company, was definitely a hit. We’ll miss the little dude, but we’ll naturally keep in touch.

Take care, jabroni. It’s been a great ride with you around again, if only for a while.
