Cloud Catalog #54.

Peter Silberman recorded this beautiful album when he was twenty-one. I turn to it every time I feel lonely and it works all the time. I snap without really snapping.

Nothing irks me more than having a superior ask me to rewrite a very difficult double-passage. Fuck it, OK.

Cloud Catalog #52.

Sometimes I have this strong hunch that I will never feel better again, that I have already had the happiest moments of my life and all that follows after them is a collection of harmless but razor-sharp fragments of utter loneliness.

To those who left unintentionally, and to those who didn't~

Cloud Catalog #51.

...the many hours you waste thinking you will reach the finish line soon and say, "I made it."

Cloud Catalog #50.

I don't exaggerate when I say that this is the best piece of music I've listened to so far this year. Tangina, ang ganda ganda. Walang basura, walang laylay. Pag naging musikero ako, gusto ko ganitong tunog.

THIS.

AND I GO:

XOXO

Cloud Catalog #48.

It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate. It takes guts to be gentle and kind...

Work 'n play. Tiring and sad at the same time.

Q magazine: What do you miss most about working with Morrissey?

Marr: His sense of humour. We had a fairly unique sense of absurdity and northern-ness that was pretty exclusive, and I miss that. He would often laugh about something that wasn’t funny and would still be laughing about it three hours later. It was sometimes disconcerting, but lovely.

Cloud Catalog #46.

Getting back to reading novels. I can't think of any other way to nurse this grief and loneliness.

Cloud Catalog #45.

How about changing strategies and refraining from hating myself for at least a month? Cool? Less days full of dread?

Some people will always make you feel that your obsession isn't cool. They're too full of themselves, always fancying how important their taste is. That's their idea of coolness: showing how uncool you are. Best to avoid them. You don't owe them anything. You don't need to prove yourself and your taste to them. Fanning the flames is a waste of time. The truth is: some contrarians are such a bore.

Cloud Catalog #43.

I've been very lazy the whole weekend and I don't know what's inside my body that makes me give in to it every frigging time. Upon seeing the floor mop that my sister bought this afternoon, I stood up and held it, singing "The First of the Gang to Die" at the top of my lungs. I knew the words by heart. I felt better, if only for a minute.

You're the one for me, Fatty. You're the one I really really love.

Also, don't forget to greet Morrissey (by shouting) an advance happy birthday on the night of the concert!

Cloud Catalog #37.

Hello Nay. Naaalala pa rin kita araw-araw. Kanina habang naglalakad ako pabalik ng opisina, naalala ko nu'ng sinamahan kita sa Orthopedic, sa may Banawe, kasi nadulas ka at namaga ang buong braso mo. Hindi ako pumasok ng trabaho at magkasama tayo buong umaga. Nang matapos ang check-up mo, sabi ko gusto ko ng champorado. Kaya dumaan tayo ng Tapa King. Tas kumain tayo sa Reyes Barbecue. Nagkuwentuhan. Napadami ang kain. Napahaba ang usapan. Ang init. Ang init sa labas kaya hindi muna tayo umuwi. Hindi ko malimutan ang araw na yun. Ang linaw pa rin sa alaala ko. Ang saya natin nu'n e. Kahit may benda ang braso mo. Kahit may mga problema tayo. Kasama kita e, kaya ayos na yun sa 'kin.

Awh. They're all so cute.

Thoughts from last night:

(1) Hate the "no photography" rule so much (my phone's camera is crap)

(2) The T-shirt design is okay, but too pricey for its worth

(3) Love love love one of the front acts, Encounters with a Yeti

(4) Bouncers are evil

(5) Half-hearted about the stage set-up

(6) Stage lighting was horrible

(7) Love love love Toe's drummer

(8) Basically I love every one of them - they all look hot when they start to play their instruments

(9) One of the guitarists spoke to the audience and we didn't understand a thing

(10) I would have loved to take pictures to share the experience, but hell - see #1

(11) Turns out some people in the audience care about song titles. Wtf.

(12) MINDBLOWWINNGGGG. EVERYTHING IS AMAZZZINNNG. INVISIBLE FIREWORKS. EXPLODE EXPLODE.
