Alright, summer classes has officially began and I'm pretty sure I'll forget to write here once lectures start to get busy. So before I forget what day it is, I just like to say that I do have a story to write now. It's under progress and still on some yellow papers (more like 1 paper). Anyway, I don't know when will that be finished since I'm always lazy and of course a little bit of school everyday. Mostly lazy though.
As for the promised story, I'm not sharing any plots for now since I have a lot of plots on mind. All I can say is that it's about a lost and found love. Well sorry if it's about love. What can I do? I'm in love.
I know we all have different tastes in music so please bear with me if you hate the songs I "currently" love. This list is not arranged in any specific order. You'll probably won't ask me why I love these songs so I won't put any explanations why. Oh yeah, I'll also be adding some old tracks I used to love that I learned to love again.

======================================
I still have lots but I didn't put them up since they would probably take me hours to put up all of them. :)
I wrote this story months ago. It was supposed to be a school work a friend of mine begged for me to do for his English class or something. Anyways, I've thought maybe some of you wanted to read this. This has no title I'm afraid for I had no idea on what title should I use at the time of writing. Enjoy and leave a comment if you want.
It was 2 in the afternoon and the sun was at its peak. Clean air has now been turned to the darkest smog. The once blue sky has now been turned into the bloodiest reflections. Corpses filled the road as I made my way to the only safe haven possible, the church. I saw not just one but thousands weep for their loved ones. I saw children frolicking in the church playground, not giving a care on how close death is. When I turn to the priest, he always gave a smile that tells us that everything will be alright but we all know that even he is losing faith at the almighty lord himself. For us, living in the middle of the war zone is like living in a hellhole. We live in a scenario wherein death is always behind us looking for his victim to take with him. Our riches, our homes, our trivial pursuits, we have left them all just to survive. All that we have now is our rations and our backs and a hope that rescue will come and take us away from this hellhole.
To keep us from thinking on how and when are we going to die, the priest always leaded prayers that would last for hours depending on how long will bullets fly. As we prayed for our lives, we could hear the radio operator proclaiming the same announcements over and over again. He keeps saying that there are still people left here wishing that a rescue would come. As we continued praying, the operator slammed the table with fury sending all papers in the sky. The priest gave the operator one of his famous smiles that seems to destroy any feeling of worry or fear. The operator surprisingly calmed down and quickly gathered the scattered papers and continued in summoning a rescue. While continuing with our prayers, explosions started erupting around us. The children started crying out loud while their mothers prayed like tomorrow will never come. Fathers kept their composure to show off their bravado but panicked like little children afterwards. I turned to the priest hoping that he will give me his famous calming smiles. To my surprise, he was on his knees in front of the large cross and kept on murmuring something that only he seemed to understand. I myself panicked and ran for covers under the tables and covered my ears hoping that the ringing explosions would stop. In the midst of our panicking, a child stood proud in front of the church doors and kept screaming at the area to stop with the continuous explosions. Surprisingly, the ringing explosions stopped and everything went calm once more. The priest has returned to his smiling old self and everyone returned to their daily duties like nothing have happened. The once proud child has disappeared from our sight and was never again found. The time now was 11 in the evening signaling that it was time for bed. The night was specially calm and silent. No bullets flew nor bombs exploding around us. For the first time in our life in this hellhole, we finally had a peaceful sleep.
It was 8 in the morning and we we’re woken up by grumbling children. As part of the survivors, I was forced to help serve breakfast to the others. As I boiled water in the large pot, the radio suddenly gave a loud buzz immediately calling all of our attention. The voices on the other line were hard to understand because of all the interference but the operator managed to decode the transmission. Once the transmission had ended, the operator slammed the table once more and tears fell down his eyes. The operator turned to all of us with a look of despair. He told us what the transmission contained into three words “Rescue is impossible”. We all lost hope. The operator told us that we we’re at the very middle of the war zone. Ergo, no soldier had the guts to charge in and save us all from death. The priest suddenly popped out from nowhere and suggested that we should just leave this hellhole and head for somewhere safe. The operator suggested that we should head for the hills since the closest military base is there. We all knew that our chance of surviving the journey was a long shot but we we’re out of options so we all agreed. All of us didn’t know that the journey ahead would end up killing us all in an instant.
The time was 1 in the afternoon and everything was packed. The journey towards the hill was exactly a 3 hour walk from the church. All of us we’re exactly 20 people including me. As we all made our way through the streets, the priest held his rosary tightly and prayed hard as he could. Some of the mothers tried to pray with him but it seems that the priest didn’t give any attention to them. Continuing our walk down the streets, we could see dozens of corpses around us. Tanks, guns, ammo, med kits, they we’re everywhere but no sign of life even showed up. The smell of death was horrid. If there was anything alive besides us, it would be the flies gathering around the rotting corpses. I and other children were ordered to close our eyes to avoid us from seeing the complete horrors of war. I couldn’t see a thing and when I try to peek, one of the mothers would immediately grab my hand and cover my eyes again. All I know is that the smell was too horrid too describe.
After a while, they finally told us to open our eyes. The scenery now is cleaner than before. We couldn’t see a single corpse lying around the streets. There we’re no instruments of war standing in the streets to strike us with fear. There was nothing, just a continuous silence a constant fear that something might pop out from nowhere and kill us all. Still, we continued with our journey which was only half an hour left. We we’re at the very entrance of town and we looked back one last time to our former homes which is now nothing but ashes. Tears ran down from our eyes while bidding farewell to our homes. We continued with our walking. We started to get more anxious since we we’re close to our destination. Suddenly, the operator screamed with joy and started pointing at a military base camp not far from here. The proud child from yesterday suddenly popped out from behind us and screamed at us to stop. We all looked back at him with anger and asked why. His answer was cold as any ice can be. “You all are walking towards your final destination”. All of us except for me laughed out loud while continuing with our walk. The boy walked back to town but I tried to chase him to tell him to come with us. While chasing him, he suddenly went in a corner and disappeared in an instant. Asking myself on how it happened, I ran back to the others to tell them what happened. When I finally chased up with the others, all of them we’re dead on the spot. The priest, the operator, fathers, mothers, children, all of them we’re dead. I looked at the perpetrators only to see a bunch of soldiers aiming their rifles at me. It seemed that the operator had led us to the enemy military base camp wherein they are all full of merciless killers. I was down on my knees crying for my life until a soldier walked towards me. He then took out a pistol and shot me at point blank.
And this is our tale. We should have followed the child’s advice and turn back but we let our own feelings took over the best of us and led us to our own bloody grave.
Firstly, I apologize for my absence from writing. I'll try to make it up to you guys.
=========================================== This is dedicated to all the "Nice Guys" who never get anything more from girls than a river of tears.. ===========================================
Ladies, we need to talk. We're the nice guys, the guy friends you turn to when the hottie from South Quad shatters your sophomore heart all over the Theta Xi dance florr, when "boys suck" or when he doesn't understand that living in different area codes does not constitute cheating. We've dried your tears, listened to you whine and told you it was all going to be ok. Well, we're done fitting the "Nice Guys Finish Last" stereotype. We've gotten together and decided on a few things:
First, we are sick and tired of listening to you cry, and simultaneously losing out in the girl department. How many times have we listened to you mope about finding "a nice boy who will treat me with respect," when we're standing here in front of you? Oh yeah, that's right, because you wouldn't want to "mess things up." That's the biggest bunch of crap we've ever heard. Maybe if we were as muscled and refined as Mr. Frat Boy, you'd give us a second look. Well, you know what, missy? Not all of life is like a soap opera. How long do you expect us just to sit here and listen to your life tragedies and not fall for you? Are you that blind? We are sick of being just another "girl" friend.
Secondly, cut the crap. We know what you mean; if you want us to go away for a while, tell us so. Don't lie and say it's "girl's night out." This is crap, because the minute you see a hot guy, you're suddenly "on the prowl." At least we guys are straightforward: we're either "on the prowl" or playing poker; those are our two modes. Also, if you don't like us, say so. None of this "Let's just be really good friends" malarkey; this translates from girl language to, "I'm sorry, but you're just really ugly." If we don't ask you on a date, it is because we are intimidated by you; don't make us any more nervous or anxious by rushing to be our "friend" when we like you.
Finally, if the guy are with is treating you like crap, LEAVE HIM. I know you don't want to because he is hot, in Beta, and has the "prettiest blue eyes," but HE IS A SCUM BAG. You need to wake up and see that he is a jerk. He will not get better. He will not change. We are experts in empathy (reading people), and know that people, for the most part, do not change. If he stands you up routinely, yells at you, or cheats on you, he ALWAYS WILL. Just as he will always do these things, you will always go back to him. It is like clockwork. He will effectively own you, and treat you badly, and we will cry for you because of it. Please do yourselves (and us) a favor, and let him go; don't save this one. I promise you, he is not THAT cute, and the sex is not THAT good. Nothing is worth getting hurt, and we nice guys really want to affix our steel-toed boots to their skinny Abercrombie asses.
All told, we want nothing more than to show you what a "good" guy is like. You know, that good guy your girlfriends tell you about. Well newsflash, ladies WE ARE THOSE "GOOD" GUYS. You are dealing with an untapped resource of quality date material, and we think we deserve our chance. You can't deny it; you always tell us how sweet we are, and how "romantic" our ideas are. Stop trying to hook us up with your peg-legged cousin from Timbuktu, we are friends with YOU, we want to show YOU the good time we can.
Unlike Mr. Muscles, we don't like you because your halter top is tight, and you looked nice under the strobe lights. We know the inner you; we know everything there is to know about you. Your innermost secrets have been shared with us. So we don't have the best dance moves and can't bench 250, so what? Who knows you better than us? Who can you trust with everything? That's right, ladies, us. The Nice Guys. The "boys." This ultimately leads to the question, what are you doing Saturday night?"
Play safe, play hard, and play often!

The boring life of a random person. Obviously a human. A product of pleasure, raised by the world, learned to love, to hate, to cry, to mock, to curse, to appreciate, to criticize, to learn, to create, to destroy, to be someone, to be nobody. This is how one person out of billions think. This is how my mind revolves around it's own axis I call sanity.
