FRUSTRATION by Sarah Gillespie

You consider yourself to be cultured
With your music and Eastern cuisine
Claiming that you’re gonna show me
Colours that I’ve never seen
Can’t you see that we’re drowning in flyers?
Can’t you see that we already know?
We don’t want to hear your new album
We don’t want to come to your show

Emotionally you’re obtuse
You get me and my sister confused
You reach for the top
You try hard to show off
And then trip as you grab at the hoop
If only I’d known that you meant
To use the first girl who’d consent
I’ve got one thing to say to you
Vent your frustration
On somebody else

You think you’ve found vocal perfection
But your lyrics don’t mean anything
It would help if you tried not to force it
And if you could actually sing
Creativity comes from the soul
And not from a list in your mind
Photographic doesn’t make good art
Keep singing like that and I’ll break your guitar

You think you’re something of an icon
Ahead of the regular crowd
Lying out cold on the pavement
So tell me who’s popular now
I’m glad that I won’t be the one
To drag you away from the street
You’re not the hero that you say you are
Just a sad parody of the social elite

And it’s not about ability
You’ve got skill but I’ve got dignity

really like this song by my cousin... wrote by her and well her sister, Rachel, too..

DON'T WANT TO BE LIKE YOU

Get a job, get a life
and all that money stuff
Slave to God, slave to money
none of it cares about you
Two car garage, white picket fence
happiness is so cheap today
Blind your eyes, dull your thoughts
maybe then you'll fail to see
that I don't want to be like you

Nine to five, lunch at noon
how can this work for you?
Say your prayers, go to bed
Forget about what you want to do
Crush the dream, kill the hopes
it's the right thing to do
Buy their shirts, make them rich
maybe they’ll like you then
But I don't want to be like you

Cut your hair, change your shoes
who cares if they work for you?
Punch the keys, do the work
and keep your smart mouth shut
Wash your hands, chew your food
don't choke on the words I say
Raise your glass, drink your wine
and kiss your future goodbye
because I don't want to be like you

PAGBINAG-BINAG SA KABUHI (drama ala skud)

San'o kagatabu ang kabuhi? When do we go from merely surviving to living? Asta san'o kita mangin lawa lamang sa isa ka makina pakadto bilang mga tawo nagahulat lamang sg mas maayo kag mangin buhi sg matuod?

And problema wala kita kabalo sg sabat sa muna nga pamangkot. At least indi samtang kita nagakabuhi pa. It's only kung madumdum kita ang mag binag-binag sg mga memories kag makapili sg mga memories that rose from the others kag lantawon, sa aton kaugalingon, nga kita tuod nagakabuhi.

BROKE

Sa liwat ari naman ko di, stuck sa selda ko, wala ubrahon tungod... wala kwarta. I'm broke -- again!

Nabatyagan ko na subong kung ano ka'budlay mangabuhi nga ikaw lang. Oo may ubra gid man ko (as I mention from my previous post) pero I am not earning that much, only enough to pay the bills, rent, food, transpo, etc. It's been like this halin sg pag umpisa ko. I dunno, pero matyag ko somehow may ara man sobra sa gina'earn ko every month. Pero isa na ka tuig and amu man gyapon. Isa na ka tuig pero wala man ko gyapon sinuptan. Maybe, the problem isn't the salary, maybe its just me - my lack of knowledge kung kwarta ang pagahambalan. Either di ko ma punggan mag gasto or indi ko mapunggan mag gasto.

But maybe it's becuase may gina'supportaran pa ko ( muna ang budlay kung ikaw subang, antes ka mangasawa, obligasyon mo sila danay). But maybe its not about that. Its really how I [mis]handle my money.

Often I spend sa mga gagmay nga butang nga kung isipon don't really cost that much and di man siguro mabatyagan sa budget, if you add all those - dang! almost half of my earnings i spend on those things nga indi man kinanlanon. That's my prob. I can't help myself.

Im trying to budget down on things, cut down on unnecessary expenses, but still nothing.. zip, nil, nada.

I'm hopeless...

Hambal ko "next time ma tipid na ko", and what - still I'm with nothing to spend left.

So now, ari duwa ka adlaw antes mag sweldo with nothing on hand, wala guwaguwa sa kwarto tungod sa nahadlok mag gasto, pati pagkaon na tipid..

Tulog nalng ta. May ubra pa bwas.

SA JEEP pt 3

Its was around 8 or 9 sg biernes nga gab'i kag asta sa mga muna nga oras, naga inagaway pa gyapon ang mga pasahero sa jeep. Mga lapit na siguro alas 9 kag nakasakay ako and sa pinaka indi ko pa gusto nga lugar ako nakpwesto - sa likod sg driver. Pero wala na ko choice kaysa magab'ihan na naman ako. At least naka pungko ako this time sg insakto kag indi tunga lang sg buli ko ang ga patung. The ride went quite smoothly na maski gani ako daw matulugan ako sa jeep.

Unlike sa nanligad nga duwa ka kabanata nahanungod sa jeep, subong daw wala gd ako na pakialam sg mga upod ko sa jeep tungod sa kapoy na, daw matulog pa ko and di ko na manutaran ang mga tawo sa palibot.

Pero and gina'abi ko nga nice ride turned around sg sa banda acacia lane (sa mandaluyong na sya para sa mga taga-iloilo ko nga manuglamasa) may nag sakay nga isa ka babayi kag nag pungko right beside me. I didn't care at first, but I cant help but noticed nga pretty sya. Okay, the ride continues, actually layu ang ginhalinan ko pakadto sa balay ko, so it took me almost an hour to get home minus the traffic. Then I noticed na amat-amat na gamay ang pasahero sa jeep and sa side namon, there are only 4 people left, but ang babayi sa kilid ko wala gd nag hulag, i mean nag'idog man lang sya tani paramaka pungko kami nga duwa sg mas maayo.

So I was thinking - anu ni xa man? Basi may crush sya sa akon kag indi mag halin sa luyo ko. So pasimple man ko ya porma eh, ay sus gwapa ayhan. Pero gulpi man ako kinulbaan tungod basi snatcher man ini kag ako gali iya gina pasimplehan.

Ginabatayan ko lng sya sabay safety sg bulsa ko eh. Dugay na nga byahe pero ara pa gid sya jpon sa tupad ko, wala gd naga'idog. Ay anu ini sya man? Ginpanumdum ko magsaylo sa piyak nga side tungod wala na ya tawo sa piyak.

Nag saylo ako tungod lapit na ako sa palanaugan ko pero sya wala gd nag halin. Then sg duwa nlng kami bilin nga pasahero, sige bantay ko ya sa iya eh. Syempre na intriga gid ko ya ngaa wala gd ya halin-halin sa pwesto ya. Timing nga nag untat ang jeep tungid sg nag pula na ang traffic light. That's the time nag para sya. Dali dali sya pana'og kag ang bag nya gina tabunan ang likod nya the way bala nga gna punggan mag lisik panty nila or something like that. Ginsunod ko sya ka tulok eh wala gd xa bulubalikid. Dali dali xa kag nag agi sa medyo madulom nga part. Weird.

Then napatulok ako balik sa jeep and sg gnhalinan ya and guess what ano na kita ko.... blood stain! :D

REMEMBER WHAT'S NEW

Dugay ko man wala na sapak ang blog ko ba. I dunno, maybe because it bores me or maybe i'm not inspired writing because of the lame layout (no offense to the one who made it) but i'm just not motivated. Oh well, adds to the fact that i was pretty busy with work and stuff like that ( nax! i'm speaking english na ). Anyways, so i guess my blog needs revision or some sort like that. Well i got rid of the plain black background and changed from purple to monochrome.. That's a start.

Now back to business. I told you i have been busy, but it was a productive week. Lots happened and i need to tell you one by one. Each must have their own post ( para kuno abi damo na ko post, teh isa isahon ko eh), too bad i didn't have may handy-dandy notebook to write all of it and transfer here, so i apologize kung di ko ma remember iban (i have a bad memory).

Now i just remember, this is supposed to be a hiligayon blog then why am i speaking in english?

Oh well back to regular programming..

Uhmm.... anu na to gani ah? damn!

Sige change topic, nahambal ko na busy ko sa work (subong lang kamo kabalu may work ko ay) yes i work, but kung what kind i wont tell you.. bahala na kamo manumdum..

Uhmm.. isa sa upod ko sa ubra ginregaluhan ako. It was wrapped and all. It was a tiny thing. Wala pa ko sg may nabaton from anyone outside my family. well except those during schooldays nga may christmas party and your obliged to give someone a gift in exchange them giving you too which during my whole 6 years sa elementary i got habonera, toothbrush with toothpaste, face towel, etc. What do you expect? Its supposed to only cost 50 bucks hehe oh well. I miss those things.. giving stuff to people.. but gaka depress lng ko madumdum.

So amu to eh, excited ko buksan, wala ko gani nakapasalamat sa naghatag
kay wala man ko kabalu kay sin'o halin. Naka butang lang sa babaw sg table ko with my name on..

Sugid ko kung ano, it was a post-it.. bal'an nyo na. those little yellow paper na may adhesive na pwede mo sulatan notes or anything that needs remembering or what ever.. then just stick on anywhere para ma remember mo ang nasulat. stick on anywhere and i mean anywhere and everywhere.. sa ref saying "kinanlan mo mag kaon," or sa tubang computer ko saying "stop sleeping and go back to work".. stick it everywhere and anywhere.. people's birthday, number you need to call or text, dates u have to go, etc.

Well wala ko danay nagsugod sulat because i have to work.. and i work for the rest of the day.. work.. work.. work...

Then i forgot all bout the post-it.. i didn't even remember where i kept it.. darn...

Actually subong ko lang man na dumduman about it when i started writing this crap.
