quasi diarist
of what-nots and all that jazz
24 February 2006
another one of those what-nots
There's this musical called, "Once On This Island," that I so wanted to see from the time I heard about it. As far as I know, it's a musical and it was shown this month in RCBC Building in Makati -- too bad I found out too early that it was already over. Gah..

Anyway, the lyrics of one of the songs in the play got me thinking. I mean, what kind of girl am I? Not that I give the greatest damn as to what other people think of me cos usually, I don't really care. Just see this as part of my "Know Thyself" fit. In that regard, opinions are appreciated. I promise to try my best not to hit you when we see each other. Hee hee. *joking*

SOME GIRLS

Some girls take hours to paint every perfect nail
Fragrant as flowers, all powdered and prim and pale
But you are as wild as that wind-blown tree,
As dark and as deep as the midnight sea
While they're busy dressing, you lie here, warm and bold
Some girls you picture, some you hold

Some girls take courses at all the best schools in France
Riding their horses and learning their modern dance.
They're clever and cultured and worldly wise.
But you see the world through a child's wide eyes.
Their dreams are grand ones, you want what's just in reach.
Some girls you learn from, some you teach.

You are not small talk or shiny cars
Or mirrors or cologne.
You are the river, the moon, the stars.
You're no one else I've known.

Some girls take pleasure in buying a fine trousseau,
Counting each treasure and tying each tiny bow.
They fold up their futures with perfumed hands
While you face the future with no demands.
Some girls expect things others think nothing of.
Some girls you marry, some you love.

    you're the donut loving, chocolate stained-shirt wearing, high-heel long-distance walking,gypsie wander woman who looks at the world with (annoying) child like wonder.

    sabi na eh, just when you thought you know, you actually had no idea.

    napangiti ako sa descriptions mo.

    inisip ko tuloy kung kelan ung chocolate-stained shirt.

    *kunot-noo sabay ngiti*
