What's Done Is Done (Too Late For Regret): Sayang By Claire Dela Fuente

I don't a person who has never had any regrets in his or her life. Everyone has had that certain moment where they wish that it could have been different. The reason for this is that it meant so much to them it could have made their lives happier. Alas, in the end it was just not meant to be and you always think what a waste is was. Everyt time, I hear that "Sayang" by Claire Dela Fuente, I have to admit I get reminded of opportunities that are now be forever lost to me.

We all with dreams of what we want to be and what we want to do in life. Unfortunately only the fortunate few are able to achieve their dreams. There are those who's path in life often gets derailed by a series of unfortunate events of things that they did or didn't do. As a result,the things they wanted to do or be are now just wishful thinking at best and broken dreams at worst. Some are lucky to be able to make something out of their lives with what's left but still haunts that some things were just not meant to be.

You can't and turn back time and once it's over, it's over. For me, there were a lot of things that I wish happened but didn't but I made a vow not to feel regret. Though there are times when that feel creeps, I really have fight the urge to give to it. I don't want to spend the rest of my life wallowing in regret. I've wasted enough time as it is and I just want to move and what's done is done so there's time for regret.

Still Trying Break That Cycle: Falls Apart By Sugar Ray

I know I should be glad that it's a long weekend cause it gives one an opportunity to do things that one normally doesn't have the time for. Unfortunately the fatigue of working so hard had set in and I spent most of the weekend, snoring in bed. That means I wasted a lot of time that could have been spent on trying to find ways to improve my chances of generating income. I guess I just fell apart and as result, I haven't cracked that vicious cycle of starting out good but falling short in the end. Right now Sugar Ray's song "Falling Apart" is playing in my head.

You know I was very glad that my blog was restored a few months ago, but sometimes I lament the opportunities that were lost during that time when I needed to make what I was working on a success. I'm sick and tired of that vicious when you start great but fall apart in the end. I guess the that I've been stems from those opportunities that were lost and the fact that I'm getting older doesn't much. I was just so tired that I accomplished nothing today and just blew away quality time which could have been spent more productively. I can't regret it later on because I didn't move so now I have really something else.

Nobody gassing out in the end. You accomplished nothing and you have no one to blame but yourself. Still, at least I was able to recharge myself a bit and with that I feel that I can resume what I'm doing. Take out the hesitancy and maybe I'll get somewhere. I have to because if I don't, I don't want to lay in bed at night being haunted by things that could have been. I just hope one day, I break this cycle cause I am so tired of seeing things fall apart.

Rain And Mondays Can Be A Real Downer: Rainy Days And Mondays By The Carpenters

According to last week's weather report, it was forcasted that will a really rainy week due to some typhoon or low pressure that will pass through the country. Yesterday, I was already feeling the effects of it as sporadic rain showers started all over the metro, leaving people wet from head to toe. To top it off, the car having problems because once you turn it off, it won't start. Then tomorrow is Monday and although it is holiday tomorrow, the repair shop is closed so it's still a bummer. The Carpenters' song "Rainy Days And Mondays" best sums up that double whammy situation.

You can't leave the house cause it's pouring buckets out there and although there is no typhoon, heavy rains are enough to cause a flood these days. I should know since I went through a traumatic experience where I was trapped in flood two years and it's brings shivers to my spine. Mondays are always a downer cause you know once you wake up, the grinds starts. As I've said in the last paragraph, it's a holiday tomorrow but I can't get the car fixed cause the shop is closed. That makes it a bummer as well.

I guess they go hand in hand sometimes and this is one of those times. I don't why something always spoils my holiday whenever a good long weekend comes along. Oh well, guess I'll try to find something productive to do. I'll do it as soon as shake off some of this unwanted stress that's keeping me immobile lately. Rainy days and Mondays can keep anybody down.

Nothing Like Metal To Get That Kick Butt Feeling: Killed By Death By Motorhead

One thing I like about listening to heavy metal is that it's good for getting the bad blood out of your system by taking out whatever inhibitions that you have. A lot of times, people are polite to the point of being "too nice" that others just keep pushing thinking that they can do it all the time. Little do they know that when they do that, they light a long fuse that's lead to a very big BOOM! It's because the "nice guys" have been turned inside out into very angry and bulging-eyed maniacs who want to cut loose. Motorhead's song "Killed By Death" is a great song whee those who get pissed and want to cut loose.

It's not like I suddenly want to trash the place or just go berserk, but when people just start pushing your buttons and ruining your day, your good mood starts to run out of your body and your temper's suddenly rising. Then it gets to the point where you start talking back or start throwing back cause you can't take it anymore. This is especially true for a lot of people who have no time for themselves and hadn't had a break for so long. You can already tell that they are at that level when the smile is stiff and the veins start showing in the clenched hand. Add a little heavy metal and let the sparks fly.

I'm not trying to metal into a bad light and I'm quite a fan of the genre. There's no denying that it's good to listen to when you're annoyed at certain things that's been going around you. Just lock yourself in your room and pump up the volume. If possible, punch the bag or do some push ups. That out get the bad blood out before you spill blood. There's nothing like metal to get that kick butt feeling and get that bad temper out of your system.

Re-posted/Won't Go To My High School Reunion: My Old School By Steely Dan

I may be wrong but I think on this rainy weekend, I do believe that tonight is the grand reunion of my old school. Two months, old classmates that I bumped often remind me about it and while I had that small get-together with my old buds, they brought it up. Whether the weather is good or bad tonight, I don't think I'll go. I've attended a few reunions before but that does it for me and I have my reasons for not going. There are a lot of things that are still going on with me as well as a few sad reminders from the past. This gives me the opportunity to re-post the video of Steely Dan's song "My Old School".

I deleted my blog post using this song by mistake. Anyway, when for those who were able to read my older posts, I was the type of guy went against the flow and the people I befriended were like me who were loners by nature and did their own thing. Apart from that, a lot of things that I wanted to do during that time that sadly didn't come true. When graduation came, I felt that something was missing or to put it simply, there was no closure.

It's bad enough that I have to deal with a lot of important things right now and when my mind wanders to the past, I have to admit it still stings. It gets worse when I fight the urge to believe that what was not fulfilled in the past was a factor in what made me what I am today. Finally, the people that I really wanted to see won't be there cause like me, they'd rather go their own way and move on. It doesn't mean that I didn't have a good time and yes I had my moments. Still, the things that matter the most didn't come true which is why I won't go.

Shake Downs Are A Downer: Shake Down By Bob Seger

When people ask me what I want right now, my answer will always be to simply live peacefully and be able to do what I want to do. It may be a boring answer but to be able to be stress-free is something of a rarity when you get older due to the demands that life puts on you. That's why one of the things that ticks me off is when things happen that turns my world upside down. When crap happens, it leaves me tired, stressed and very angry. When the tranquility that you enjoy gets messed up by some bad news, Bob Seger's song "Shake Down" comes to mind.

As I've said before, the things that I wanted to be or do are now a distant memory that I just try do deal with as I go about with my life. Things are hard enough already and trying to find solace is now hard as you have very little tine for yourself which is why a shake down is the last thing that I want to happen. It gets worse when you've just been through a bad day and then something else happens further extending your agony. It's like adding insult to injury.

I don't bother people and all ask is that people don't bother me. I've got enough problems as it is and don't like it when my routine gets disrupted. It'll only cause more grief to everyone around. That's why I stay away from trouble as much as possible cause it causes a shake down that is really a bummer. For those who think I'm boring so be it and just let me go back to my boring life.

Back When You Struggled To Get Good Reception What's The Frequency Kenneth By R.E.M.

When I look the kind of music gadgets that come out these days, I'm amazed at the new technology that comes out. All the ipods that store large amounts of music and even videos whose sound comes out loud and clear which can be easily recharged without worrying about batteries are my favorite. This is because back in my day, you had to carry a large boom box or settle for a cheap radio and had to struggle to get good frequency. The struggle to get clear sound on one's radio reminds me of R.E.M.'s song "What's The Freqency Kenneth".

I remember back in the day when you carried a walkman, people would look at you and think you were cool. The only trouble was you had to carry ton of tapes and batteries with you and if you listen to the radio, you had to struggle with the frequency, especially when another radio station is cutting in. The same thing applied to those big stereos and when your in a very enclosed space, you'll be lucky to crappy frequency. That sucks especially when 24K was on a Friday and you're office didn't have access to that station.

These days, the strength of the new gadgets are a blessing. Even the cheap imitations are also good though they don't last like the original. Even in places where signal are difficult, you can still get to hear your station and more importantly, your music. That's why when I'm thankful for the new advancements made in technology cause frequency is seldom or never a problem. That's why when 24K is on I have a big smile on my face cause there's good frequency and I listen to it from morning to night.
