Thanks, Inez

"Bigti" Songs? Hahaha!!! You had me laughing so hard I almost feel off my chair while figuring out why a lot of people from South Africa share just one email address.

Thanks to my friend Inez, and her blog entry called "Bigti Songs" which she dedicated to me.

Hay, Nez. I really miss the old days when you and Biboy were still here.

When we'd hang out in his apartment and watch the evening news.

When the three of us would go to JJ and just drink all the alcohol we wanted.

When we'd laugh so hard at private jokes and read all those gay Star Wars script (remember?).

Those days we spent together as friends (more than mere officemates) are great, if not the best. Miss you guys!

Three Songs and A Poem

I have three songs playing in my mind right now, like a repeating playlist in my iPod mini. In order, they are: Ricky Martin’s La Vida Loca, Norah Jones’ I’ve Got to See You Again, and James Blunt’s Goodbye My Lover. After a run of the three, I listen to Andy Garcia reading Pablo Neruda’s Tonight I Can Write the Saddest Lines. Whoa.

These songs and the poem translate how I am trying to erase YOU in my mind, you little witch of a woman. Oh, how could I forget you, how?

How could I forget your devil red lips and your mocha-colored skin?

Did you know that I can’t help myself and that I have to see you again?

But then, though I felt you were the one for me, I had to say goodbye, my lover.

For I know that my love cannot keep you forever. I no longer love you, for loving is so short, but forgetting is so long.

Ah, how could I forget you, how?
