A Really Scary Experience
As I was walking along AIT, on my way to the office, a green car slowed down. I thought it was someone I know, maybe a colleague who’ll give me a lift to the office. The driver rolled down his window and asked where I was going. I didn’t know him so I thought I might have misunderstood what he said. Then, he told me to get inside the car. Man, I was so freaked out that the only thing I was able to say was "ay, hindi po!" and walked away as fast as I could. Even now, I’m still scared when I remember the driver’s red face and creepy smile. This is really a crazy world we live in.
Videoke!
I met some friends last night and we sang a couple of songs on the videoke machine. I miss singing! Whenever I go home to Cabanatuan, I always go videoke-ing with my dad, sisters, and brother. But I’ve been so busy lately that we didn’t really have time for it. Besides, videoke is more fun if my diva-sister (Mae) is with us.
Night Tour of Quezon City
After videoke, a friend of mine offered to take me home, only we had to make some stops. Tipsy as I was, I couldn’t refuse (and I really didn’t want to), so off we went on a mini-tour of QC at night. How I love this city. It is home to my beloved alma mater, and most of my friends live here. Even our wonderful apartment in Boni isn’t enough to pull me away from QC again.
Over Coffee and French Fries
Before taking me home, my friend and I went to McDonald’s for some coffee and french fries. It’s been a while since I’ve spent time with him, and it felt good talking to him again. Like little Elisabet, I’ll keep that moment and hide it in my heart. Happy moments come in handy when life kicks you in the face. I don’t have enough happy moments yet for the dark road ahead, but there’s still time to stock up.
What I’m Listening To

I Can’t Make You Love Me
By Bonnie Rait
Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don’t patronize
Don’t patronize me
‘Cause I can’t make you love me if you don’t
And you can’t make your heart feel something it won’t
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I’ll feel the power
But you won’t, no, you won’t
‘Cause I can’t make you love me if you don’t
I’ll close my eyes, then I won’t see
The love you don’t feel when you’re holding me
Morning will come and I’ll do what’s right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight
‘Cause I can’t make you love me if you don’t
And you can’t make your heart feel something it won’t
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I’ll feel the power
But you won’t, no, you won’t
‘Cause I can’t make you love me if you don’t
