...INSTANT PARTY...

I woke up this morning with that distinctive low resonating howl that hounds have, aside from the usual hustle and bustle of the daily household help's routine. Desperately trying to go back to sleep though unsuccessful, I peeled myself off the bed and headed straight to the computer... Hmm, who could be be on-line at 7:15 in the morning?

Knowing that I still had a few hours to spare before my physical therapy session, and not to mention the grumbling sound of my tummy, I called for my yaya who was, apparently unavailable bringing my son to school, to prepare my breakfast. Waiting waiting... Finally, the scent of my breakfast filled the air... yum. After consuming my sumptuous meal, my eyes heavily droop down... sleep.. I need sleep. Instead, I ask my yaya to massage my tired feet and legs from the weekends' non-stop affairs. Give me 10 more minutes, I repeat to my yaya. Just 10 more minutes.

Next thing I know I was rushing out of the house making business deliveries and making it my PT session with more than enough time to spare. Haaay.... I then get a call from Lyka, my neighbor inviting for yet another eating spree at her place to make up for not showing up Saturday. This time all the kids were invited. Lyka prepared kiddie spaghetti, Amber's Pancit, BBQ, and I brough leftover from the dreaded Chicken Imperial incident. June came with ensaimada bread that was to die for. When will we ever stop eating???

I then had to rush home to prepare and cook dinner for my dad who wanted Pisto and BBQ Spareribs for dinner. Everything turned out well. Luis, not being able to do his assignments earlier on had to finish his work after dinner. Thank God there was not much to do. Meaning Luis was more than capable of doing his homework himself. Then I hear the doorbell ring, it's my mother back from her Bangkok trip...hmm. I then retreated back to my room and was able to catch the movie, Before Sunset...sigh.

Poems and Songs taken from the movies...

...BEFORE SUNRISE...

'Daydream, delusion, limousine, eyelash

Oh baby with your pretty face

Drop a tear in my wineglass

Look at those big eyes

See what you mean to me

Sweet-cakes and milkshakes

I'm delusion angel

I'm fantasy parade

I want you to know what I think

Don't want you to guess anymore

You have no idea where I came from

We have no idea where we're going

Latched in life

Like branches in a river

Flowing downstream

Caught in the current

I'll carry you

You'll carry me

That's how it could be

Don't you know me?

Don't you know me by now?'

...BEFORE SUNSET...

'Let me sing you a waltz

Out of nowhere, out of my thoughts

Let me sing you a waltz

About this one night stand

You were, for me, that night

Everything I always dreamt of in life

But now you're gone

You are far gone

All the way to your island of rain

It was for you just a one night thing

But you were much more to me, just so you know

I don't care what they say

I know what you meant for me that day

I just want another try,

I just want another night

Even if it doesn't seem quite right

You meant for me much more than anyone I've met before

One single night with you, little Jesse,

is worth a thousand with anybody

I have no bitterness, my sweet

I'll never forget this one night thing

Even tomorrow in other arms,

my heart will stay yours until I die

Let me sing you a waltz

Out of nowhere, out of my blues

Let me sing you a waltz

About this lovely one night stand'
