Apologize

I have been listening to “Apologize” from One Republic. At first, I couldn’t appreciate the song but after several playbacks and after viewing the youtube video, I was at awe.

I like the quality of the video for one. I love the symbolic elements that depicts remorse, anger and pain. I especially love the vocalist’s passionate expression when singing. You can feel those 3 strong emotions (remorse, anger, and pain) even if you’re only listening to the song.

All in all, I love the drama in this video.

Below is the live version of the video Apologize. Again, such drama. Although the vocalist’s voice was shaky, still you’d have to give their performace a 10. I love the stage set-up, especially the lights. I got goosebumps all over when the stage shone really bright with the heart shape lights. Very romantic, I should say, looking at the vocalist’s face, it felt like he was singing this song to me. Grin - yes, girls will be girls…

Comic Strip

I stumbled upon this site wherein you can conveniently create your very own comic strip. Below is the comic strip I made.

Only Andrew and Xeny can understand this quirky antic so you might or might not find this funny. But to them, this is hilarious.

If you want to create your very own comic strip, you can check Bitstrips out. You can create your very own characters to star in your own comic series.

Blast from the Past

I attended a Christening this morning. It was a sweet party for a long awaited angel. Anyway, in the party I happened to meet, once again, my French teacher. It was not a quick hi hello session, though I hope it would. During out talk, I had some realizations and regrets.

The first time we met (me and my French teacher), he had so much faith in me and my friend. He found us very smart and those impressions were wasted by our lack of diligence  in our French lessons.

In our talk, he still had the same impression and I was moved by the cause he was trying to fulfill. He is trying to provide free education for Filipinos; cause if wasn’t for that he wouldn’t be staying here in the Philippines, especially when one of his daughter got the dengue last year.

I told him I would like to study French again and I would really like to teach part time at Maternelle Academy, for free. He was quite happy about it and we even exchanged numbers.

That scene up there, is a chance of bringing back my challenging life again. Now that I am working, I feel so stagnant in some ways. But I love what I do, don’t get me wrong. SEO is fun and challenging as it is. But I miss what I use to do in college and I feel my communication skills are starting to deteriorate and I also realize that I have some characteristics that I don’t wish to keep.

I have this huge pride that won’t seem to budge. I can be boastful and I don’t know what I want in life.  I have been asking for a sign and maybe this volunteer teaching of mine is. I hope to live a life wherein I’m happy and contented.

I hope to know what I want in life so that I can work in achieving it now. Did you experience anything like this? I know I’m not the only lost sheep frolicking. Speak out your dilemma  and share your life lessons here as well.
