Dahil Hindi Nagla-lock ng Office Drawer

"Ivan, can I borrow your phone?"

"Here... oh, but it's Mel's."

"What?!"

"Ah, 'It smells'. No, 'It's Melody's'. Haha!"

Shushal! Umi-Ingles? E Inglesera kausap ko e.

Nostalgia. I feel kinda guilty not having been able to see most of these people in ages. :(

I may forget, but I can remember.

Reader (if you exist at all), can you spot me, barely three years old when this picture was taken?

Tsongguys

My eyeballs do a three-sixty each time they exclaim "bro", "pre", and "tsong". Mga tsonggo sila, kairita! As if it isn't aggravating enough to hear their tired male exchanges on, ano pa, basketball, cars, and girls. Can't they choose to punctuate their mindless blabber with "gurl", "mare, or "ateh" na lang? Mas gay-friendly, daba?

Get Outta My Way

What's the worst thing that could happen to you? Take a chance tonight and try something new. You're getting boring. You're all so boring, and I don't recognize the zombie you're turning into.

Now I got a taste I want to explore. It isn't going to waste, no not anymore. You're going hard now to win my heart, but so many times now you've been coming up short.

Don't worry because tonight I got you. You can take a seat and do what you normally do. No, I ain't going home because I want to stay. But I won't be alone no how, no way. Now I showed you what I'm made of. This is what'll happen if you are not giving your girl what she needs.

Leave you; move on to a perfect stranger. You talk, I walk, want to feel the danger. See me with him and it's turning you on. It's got me saying, "Getting me back, it'd be another song. Get outta my way."

Get outta my way, you got no more to say. He's taking your place. Get outta my way. Way outta my way, you got no more to say. He's taking your place. Get outta my way...
