I love USA’s Burn Notice. That Jeffrey Donovan is H-O-T is just a bonus.

When I first heard Apologize by One Republic I couldn’t help liking it. I just thought it was strange that it was credited Timbaland feat One Republic because I saw the video and Timbaland just added some beat, admittedly it’s catchy, and “yeah yeah yeah” hehehe. Apparently the song was written by a band member, Ryan Tedder. I thought of looking up the original version and it’s a nice, little surprise. I love to hear the clear sound of the piano, violin, and there’s even a guitar solo.

 
Lyrics:
I’m holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
I’m hearing what you say
But I just can’t make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down
But wait
You tell me that you’re sorry
Didn’t think I’d turn around and say

That it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late

I’d take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But that’s nothing new
I loved you with a fire red, now it’s turning blue
And you say
Sorry like the angel heaven let me think was you
But I’m afraid

It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late

I’m holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground

Fountainhead, Ayn Rand, page 261 of Centennial Edition -

Keating to Roark:
“It’s a secret, Howard. A rare one. I’ll give it to you free of charge with my compliments: always be what people want you to be. Then you’ve got them where you want them. I’m giving it free because you’ll never make use of it. You’ll never know how. You’re brilliant in some respects, Howard, I’ve always said that — and terribly stupid in others.”

Terrible advice.

hmmm…okay…anong kwento ko? I’ve been spending my days at home since the beginning of August and working only on weekends. I’ve been on study mode, couch potato mode (kahit wala akong couch), and oversleeping mode. We all need a good amount of sleep, 6-8 hours sabi nila, but I’ve been abusing the privilege because I don’t have to wake up early so I feel more sluggish than usual and I get headaches that are only relieved by, guess what, more sleep hahaha. And I get that nagging feeling that I’m wasting time. An instructor said in class that people who get less sleep are more productive; syempre gusto kong maging productive person :). Here’s a WebMD link to the physical side effects of oversleeping. According to them people who sleep nine hours or more at night have higher death rates than people who sleep less. Haha kilos kilos my friends.

To my credit, I did finish the 1000 questions I’m supposed to answer. I had to get 80% proficiency so I might have answered double the number before I got that 80%. It was a long and boring process. I went to school and took the 3 required exams and failed one of them haha. There’s a few people in the library and we asked a classmate if she finished the tests and if she passed. She said, “In my heart, I passed…” hahaha. Anyway, I’m just laughing because we always get remedial for these and a lot of people are in the same boat.

Hmmm…there’s really nothing much to say. Since school starts next week, I can sum up my summer now: work and schoolwork. The truth is I can’t wait to be busy again. I miss the pressure, sort of. It takes my mind off things and that’s when you learn, when you really have to.
