Till There Was You

When I Met You

"There I was, an empty piece of a shell,

Just minding my own world;

Without even knowin' what love and life were all about

Then you came, You brought me out of the shell;

You gave the world to me

And before I knew, there I was so in love with you "

Sinabi ko sa sarili ko na after my break-up with Wila, magpapahinga muna ang puso ko.

Kaya lang, mukhang may ibang plano si Kupido para sa akin.

There I was in Boracay for the summer event, running away from a girl whom I may or may not have hooked up with.

Dahil kasi sa bitterness ko, I told myself na why not have fun with people who are willing to have fun with me as well?

No commitments, fling lang.

So when I woke up beside a girl na hindi ko marecognize, nagpanic ako.

Para bang nagising sa bangungot.

I asked myself kung ano ba ang ginagawa ko sa buhanginan katabi ang isang babae na hindi ko matandaan ang pangalan?

What's worse, I have a hangover and I was topless.

I didn't think twice.

Hinanap ko agad ang shirt ko and then my bra.

I didn't bother to put on my shoes na for some reason eh hindi ko din suot.

Nakita kong nakakalat ang Doc Martens ko malapit sa tabingdagat at dali-dali kong kinuha bago pa maabot ng tubig.

After ko isuot ang damit ko, umalis na ako agad.

Yung ibang bandmates ko eh tulog na tulog katabi ang mga random guys and girls na nakilala nila sa show.

Umiling na lang ako.

I am living a hedonistic life and I will burn in hell.

I laughed at the thought.

Malamang dala ng hangover kaya kung anu-ano ang naiisip ko.

I'd better find a place where I can have coffee and hopefully may tinda ding Alka-Seltzer.

My head is starting to hurt and I don't act fast, malamang mauuwi ito sa full blown headache.

May rehearsals pa naman kami mamaya after lunch for the final concert.

Mahirap magperform kapag maysakit.

Kailangan 100 percent ang effort dahil nakakahiya naman sa mga fans.

Malayo na ang nalakad ko pero wala akong makitang resto na open.

Well, what did I expect?

It's only 5:15 in the morning.

Kailangan din magpahinga ng mga restaurant workers.

I could go to Shangri-La.

For sure, meron akong pagkain sa room dahil Batchi always made sure na hindi kami magugutom.
