people stay in cagayan... (mukanta ang nakabalo)

hello cee dee oh. i miss you so. you've changed so much in the span of five years. i feel like such a stranger in my own hometown... we don't live in our ancestral home anymore. we sold the house almost two years ago. i miss my old bedroom. i miss mom's garden. heck, i even miss our fishmonger neighbors! everything is just so different now... the streets and the neighborhood aren't so familiar, and the people too!
the new house is nice. homey. i love it that it is so cozy. i love it that i came home to the smell mom's newly baked goodies. i love it that we're all together for Christmas for the first time after 5years. i hope The Toph was here to experience home. at least there is a home, i keep reminding myself. but today, i got to see old faces and somehow, i got that sense of cagayan de oro back. i feel like i belong again. it does feel so wonderful to be back. oh, what'd i give to stay!

for some reason...

wala lang. naalala ko nanood ako ng tv, napahinto ako sa isang channel kung san pinapalabas ang live from abbey road... napahinto ako dahil sa kanta. live. nakapanindig balahibo. kanta pala yun ni alanis morissette. perfect.

Sometimes is never quite enough
If you're flawless, then you'll win my love
Don't forget to win first place
Don't forget to keep that smile on your face

Be a good boy
Try a little harder
You've got to measure up
And make me prouder

How long before you screw it up
How many times do I have to tell you to hurry up
With everything I do for you
The least you can do is keep quiet

Be a good girl
You've gotta try a little harder
That simply wasn't good enough
To make us proud

I'll live through you
I'll make you what I never was
If you're the best, then maybe so am I
Compared to him compared to her
I'm doing this for your own damn good
You'll make up for what I blew
What's the problem, why are you crying

Be a good boy
Push a little farther now
That wasn't fast enough
To make us happy
We'll love you just the way you are
If you're perfect
