Aviators- Restless


This is exactly the way i feel right now.
The lyrics goes like this

AVIATORS- Restless

I guess I'm obscure
I guess I'm usual
I guess that's why they call me incapable
If I could make a change
Believe me I would try
I'd make something of this dead-end street called life
But maybe that's just it
Maybe I have to do
Something I've never wanted to
Maybe I'm not the same
Maybe I'm meant for more
I guess I'll see what tomorrow has in store

'Cause I've been getting restless
And I have to confess
This feeling held in my chest is
So hard to ignore
Been wanting satisfaction
When I have to take action
I wanna feel a reaction
Like never before

(Like never before)
(Like never before)

I guess I'm a fool
Another pair of eyes
To watch the broken world just pass me by
But is it that hopeless
Or am I seeing wrong?
Have I been the change needed all along?
Am I a part of this?
Is it my chance to shine?
Am I too late, or am I just in time?
We're back to business now
It's time to face the crowd
It's time to show them I'll change the world somehow

'Cause I've been getting restless
And I have to confess
This feeling held in my chest is
So hard to ignore
Been wanting satisfaction
When I have to take action
I wanna feel a reaction
Like never before

(I'm sick of standing, waiting for someone else)
(I'm sick of standing, waiting for someone else)
(I'm sick of standing, waiting for someone else)
(I'm sick of standing, waiting for someone else)

From here on I'm a different man, with a plan
I'm standing true holding all the world in my hands
And when they tell me I'm a useless pawn, they'll be wrong
I'll tell them I've been standing restless here for far too long

'Cause I've been getting restless
And I have to confess
This feeling held in my chest is
So hard to ignore
Been wanting satisfaction
When I have to take action
I wanna feel a reaction
Like never before

'Cause I've been getting restless
And I have to confess
This feeling held in my chest is
So hard to ignore
Been wanting satisfaction
When I have to take action
I wanna feel a reaction
Like never before

('Cause I've been getting restless)
(And I have to confess)
(This feeling held in my chest is)
(So hard to ignore)


I have discovered many acoustic songs. Oh they're so nice I want to download them. And since I don't have a credit card at this age, I just listen to them on youtube and repeat them over and over hahahh!!!! Here are some I just got out of random browsing. Enjoy!



I so love this, now if someone is going to sing this song in front of me with the guitar.. yay!! It would be so lovely! I will fall in love!!!

lyrics:

Hay there Ms. Derpy 
How's it going in Equestria? 
I'm another world away 
But filly, you just look so pretty 
Yes you do 
Rainbow ain't got nothin on you 

My dear Ms. Derpy 
Don't you worry, don't you fret 
I'll be there if you get lonely 
Even if we've never met 
We'll start to fly 
Listen to my voice, it tells no lies. 
Hey girl, I really love your eyes. 

CHORUS 
Some day I'll wish upon a star 
And wake up somewhere very far 
A land I had only heard about before... 
And the first thing that I'm gonna do 
Is search right across that land for you 
Because you are the pony I adore 
And I swear I'll love you forever-more. 

Hay there Ms. Derpy 
I've got so much that I want to say 
If only I could speak with you... 
I know I'd find a way 
To say it all 
Together into love we'd fall 

My sweet Ms. Derpy 
I know that this song is getting long 
It was meant to be so simple, I just 
Don't know what went wrong, it's all for you 
You know that I'll always come through 
My Derpy Hooves, this song's for you 

CHORUS

Couldn't get a good copy of the lyrics.. :(

Thank you for your time. Well what struck me most is that first song I entered. 

Restless by Aviators coz I feel I am.

2009

Way back 2009, I realized that what I am right now wasn't completely the one I wished I  would be. Although, some were developed in me. But I thought I was going to be more than that.

Where do i go from here? There are so many things I wanna do. But I feel like I am stuck.

Some Nights


                                                              "Some Nights"
                                                                             F.U.N
Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck
Some nights I call it a draw
Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights I wish they'd just fall off

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh
Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?)
Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?)
Most nights I don't know anymore...
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh,
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh

This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype
Save that for the black and white
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked,
But here they come again to jack my style

That's alright (that's alright)
I found a martyr in my bed tonight
She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am
Oh, who am I? Mmm... Mmm...

Well, some nights I wish that this all would end
'Cause I could use some friends for a change.
And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights I always win, I always win...

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh
Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?)
Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?)
Most nights I don't know... (oh, come on)

So this is it. I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?

(Come on)

No. When I see stars, when I see, when I see stars, that's all they are
When I hear songs, they sound like a swan, so come on.
Oh, come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on!

Well, that is it guys, that is all - five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
This one is not for the folks at home;
Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go
Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?

My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she called "love"
When I look into my nephew's eyes...
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from...
Some terrible nights... ah...

Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh,
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh

The other night you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me
I called you up but we'd both agree

It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance... Oh...
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance... Oh...

My thoughts on being hurt and moving forward

At El Nido, Day 3

Day 3
We didn't take any other package and we just decided that we'd go to "bayan" and explore what they have there. 

Took a tricycle, rented for a whole day of tour.  We were heading to Nacpan Beach and Pasadena Falls. 

We passed through "bayan" and the place reminded of Boracay's station 2. Oh here's a souvenier shop that is so attractive! 



So, off we headed straight to Nacpan Beach. The road is partly cemented, there are also bumpy parts of it. But it was a fun ride. The province is just so lovely to look at for me. 


During the ride i noticed the colors around the place. So bright and vibrant and it matches with the sunny sun sun, very hot day! Hahha! They like orange and pinks colors, blue green shades. The soil looks orangeyyy to me. Is it too burned? 

Nacpan beach is a long each that is likely to be thought of as Panglao Beach in Bohol or Boracay. Panglao and Nacpan are peaceful not yet that commercialized but foreigners still go and i can see that they enjoy it.

Nacpan was just discovered last year 2013. Oh oh oh! It's the 3rd longest beach in the philippines.



I played with the waves hahha! I fell inlove with it!! 

While swimming i met a French girl who was just travelling for 15 mos. she saved up for 2 years. She is a teacher. And her name is Marie. She doesn't blog them unlike me. She just write her experiences in her notebook. The conversation started when I told you J saw your writing, is it a Diary? And she said yes, and then I learned all those things about her. 

Oh, we had lunch there and it was superb!! Delicious! Talked to the folks there and they did not expect Nacpan will be disovered at all.

Seafood! Seafood! Seafood!!!!! 

After we had our lunch, I played with the waves again. Then we decided to go since we're still gonna go hiking for Pasadena Falls. 

It was a long hike! I mean it's always like that if you're heading to a waterfalls. Hahah! Then I saw driftwoods and very very old Ipil-ipil trees with very very large roots! Amazing! Waaah!! I'm out of words! Hahha! 

Me with the guide! We passed through 7 rivers to get there.

The roots I was talking about.

The waterfall is not high, oh and one thing, it's not that cold either. There are foreigners there too! It's not undiscovered, tourists have gone there,too! 




Day 3 has is nearly ending as I write this. I am at the hotel cafe at Greenviews Resort. Thanks for the free wifi :-) 

There are so many places to go in El Nido, Palawan. Here's the Bacuit Map i took at one of the souvernier shopsz


We took Tour B. There are more packages to choose from! UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I VISIT EL NIDO!!!! 

My body is sore but it is all worth it. SOBRA! I finally had my most awaited summer for this year! I want more beach escapades! 

For Day 4, we have to wake up at 5am and leave the resort right away for a 5 hour drive back to Puerto Princessa Airport.

There is also a an Airport for plane ride from Manila to El Nido :-) 

I HAD A HAPPY TRIP WITH MY FAMILY!!!! 

I have a Singapore Trip to write about!!! Oh oh!

Embracing El Nido,Day 2

A picture with the guides. 

Whee! Day 2 has begun. We all woke up at 6am. We left at 8:30 am since we booked a a package tour and they will fetch us at 8:30 am. All geared up, with my bikini, sunblock and a full charged phone, I think I am ready. I am so ready to go. 

1st stop Pinagbuyutan island. Bought now by ayala. That was its name before now it's Olegs Island. Passed by Lagen Resort, still an ayala property.



First time to ever see a big jelly fish, only that it is already dead :( 




Everytime they say bring out your camera you should do it or you will miss a good picturesque view. Learn it from the residents and tourist guides hahha

2nd stop Cathedral Cave as it looks like an altar. As they say. And it does. Oh oh oh!! It stinks! I never knew until now that caves are stinky! Cathedral Cave only had one opening. But it is very breathtaking when you look up to the highest part of it.




So, we passed  by some of the luxurious beach resorts there price ranging from 14,000php to 80,000php. Woah! Amazingly luxurious! 

Tendedennn..

Had our free lunch from Greenviews Resort at the back of Lagen Resort. Just a stop over. Don't damage the area just stay, eat and swim. I like the beachlife-like lunch. Very very native. We'd be roasting our pork and what nots there. We'll stay to eat. They learned food design as a course. This is great package from palawan resorts, they include lunch in a package. Of all the island hoppings I have been able to experience this one is the most RELAXED one. Hahaha




The cook :

We went on snorkeling near Lagen resort. I learned to Equalize when deep in the sea. Thanks to the kind captain of the ship. He is such a great swimmer without vest and snorkle! None! Then i was able to swim almost 10 feet at least. His was deeper than that. He is such an experienced swimmer. We were supposed to swim with the life vests. But i don't like to wear it i want to experience real swimming. And i did not regret it i was able to touch corals, big corals at deep sea with my bare hands. Woah! Love it! 

Next is Off to the cave now called the Cudognon cave which was a place people hid during the war. 



This is how we'd in to the cave. They have to think of a standardized way of entering it coz they did not create the whole, everything was out of the flowing water from rainy days for over so many many many years. It changes every year i guess. One false move and you bones may break as you may slip or your skin might have a scratch even. Slipping is worst! 

More snaps!! 


I just chill or else I will slip lol!



This cave doesn't stink that much coz it has many wholes and sort of openings fo ventilation. Not scary!! It has awaken the nature lover in me! Waaaah! Amazing!!! 

Last stop would be the Snake Island. We head on to the viewing deck and traced from the head to the tip of the tail of the snake island. Mamane , mama and I jogged while Kuya Mon and Yung Ling walked. When we got to the end. We all didn't have picture as our phone were in our bangka and Yung's cam went dead already. Hahahha!! 

Picture of the head that looked like a snake indeed...

And the sandbar that looked like a snakes's tail connecting another island.

I had a footprint there,too! You should do it when you get there!!! 

Day 2 is up as i am writing this.
At the end of the day, I got sunburns all over my back, ah~ but it is all worth it!! 



El Nido, I love you!!!

El nido palawan day 1
I had to leave work early as the departure day is not included on my very very " hinangyua.an leave". Good thing my boss considered me and made a ticket or a way for me to be able ti leave work early. Being in a call center doesn't really guaranted that leave requests are granted because head counts matter. If it's too queuing you really just can't be off the phone.

So, I left so early and out flight was then at 10:00 am which at first I thought was 9:00 am.

Landed at the Puerto Princessa Airport around 12:50 pm. We had to take a vhire to El Nido. The travel would take around 5 hours. No traffic just a few stop overs for lunch 30 mins break and another stop over for 5 mins bio break. The journey is like a usual trip finding a new place to go for an adventure. The road is in circles like your racing with another vhire. You can't help but sleep. In the vhire you are to rent it for back and forth transportation with another family. Per pax is high because the travel also amazingly long. But if you would like to customize your ride to El Nido, you may take the bus. 

So we got in our cottages, where we are going to stay at 5:30 am. We will stay here for  3 nights and 4 days.  We chose greenviews house at Corong Corong, El nido. The view is breathtaking. I am finally at El nido. I just can't believe that i am looking at the view not just in magazine but with my bare eyes. 






The area i thought is greenish. Thus the resort name Greenviews resort. Very much,. With lots of garden built up. Driftwoods everywhere. I fell inlove with the driftwood everywhere! I am a junkie. I like antiques and old random, critical and ancient old stuff so looking at those driftwoods formed into chairs, tables, frames, veranda designs just woke up my senses of my love of such things. Then i remebered the recent movie starred by Sarah Geronimo and Coco Martin " Maybe this Time" and they said yes, that was shot in Palawan. The residents just can't say where. So it could be at Puerto Princessa. 

Mentioning that, I have learned that it takes a totally different route to these different names of beaches i only read before in magazines such as El Nido, Puerto Princessa, and Coron. I have learned though that Coron was struck by Yolanda. But I want to exprience the other  2 ofcourse. Not on this trip, it's too costly it's going to rip my jeans and break out ATMs hahahha! 

Okay, view appreciation and immersing with hotel folks for day one. There is wifi and cable here so you don't feel too disconnected to the world far from this coz of the long drive and travel. Wow the power of technology is everywhere. I'm in love, I am amazed. I am in total awe! Writing this down is also making me think, how i get to put these thoughts into writing. Hahahha blogging 101. Go on adventure and write and share!
