Rewind: A Hidden Sugarfree Gem

So a few weeks back, I was playing the Sugarfree Live! album on loop, and this certain song caught my attention. I was quickly hooked to the song, mainly due to Sir Jal's backup vocals at the near end of the song. Anyway, I looked for the lyrics of the song and it became an instant favorite.

This song came from Sugarfree's third album, Tala-Arawan. Me and my bro owns an original CD of said album since the year it came out, but it is only a few weeks back when I discovered this song. It is a very Sugarfree song, which for me is that "it has that "kurot sa puso" feel. It won't necessarily bring you to tears, but their is the feeling that somehow, the song speaks to you, and that it is exactly applicable to a moment in your life."

So without further ado, I present to you, Ikaw Pala.

Thinking Out Loud: What Day Is It Again?

Yesterday is History, Tomorrow a Mystery, Today is a Gift, Thats why it's called the Present" 

No matter where you heard or read that quote, and you probably already had, it is quite true.

That being said, I'm not here to talk about that quote at all! I just want to talk about the days of the week, and what I personally think of them. I thought of writing this post when I am once again reminded of what my least favorite day of the week is. Let's start, shall we? :)

Monday - Yes, yes, I know, Monday is not technically the first day of the week. But we're not here for technicalities, right? Monday is fine by me, though I understand why most dislike Monday; it is after all, usually the first day of going to school and/or work. But that's just fine by me. I like going to school and work (I assume I would. I hope so). There is also the case of being in the company of your schoolmates and/or workmates. That is certainly a positive on most occasions.

Tuesday - Hey, the school / work week has just began, so I guess most are not even tired that much yet. Plus, if you are from UP (at least in most campuses), your school week may just actually be beginning. Personally, Tuesday is fun for me since for the past half decade, Tuesdays have been the day for the GA meetings of my organization, UP Tangway, and that is fun in itself. Not to mention that WWE's Monday Night Raw occurs every Tuesday here.

Hey, I'm a big pro-wrestling fan!                                                       

Wednesday - One word, manga. The so-called "Big Three" of manga comes out every Wednesday (technically, it is the translations, but you get the point). Not to mention that Wednesday is also PBA day. Wednesday is cool in my book simply for those reasons.

Plus, the mention of the Manga Big Three gives me an excuse to put this picture in.

Thursday - My least favorite day of the week hands down. Why? Lot's of reason actually. The week starts to get tiring at this point, it is almost Friday but not quite yet, there is nothing interesting on TV. The last point is actually interesting. I think my dislike for Thursday has roots in my childhood. See, I grew up during the time that anime dominated local TV, so much that there were anime from 4pm-6pm (before the nightly news), AND during the prime time(!). And if I remember correctly, those prime time animes were different for every day of the week (I remember Hell Teacher Nube for Mondays, and Vampire Hunter D for Wednesday). The anime that I like the least was usually on during Thursdays, so, I like Thursdays the least as well. Poor Thursday.

Friday - Ah! Fridays! Who doesn't like Fridays? PBA, Bubble Gang, end of the school/work week, honestly, do I even need to elaborate anymore?

Saturday - If there is one day to go out and enjoy the world, Saturdays would be it. Or you could spend the whole day having siesta. Or go out and watch a movie, or do household chores, or go shopping, or get a massage, or go on a food trip, or even just stay on bed all day. I love Saturdays. Why? I just do.

Sunday - Sundays are like..weird, in a sense. I still like Sundays. A day for retreat, for rest, for some more pampering. But at the same time, you know that happy days are ending (so to say), and that the week is about to start again. But me, personally, I look forward to Sundays, at the very least I get to play some basketball every Sundays.
