I gots me own domain alright. But I'm just so preoccupied with work right now that I couldn't even change the template. Maybe I'll start working on it come December and no, it's not gonna be PunkSEO like what I originally planned.

Aww... I'll miss my blogspot page. Tjcafuir.com wouldn't be Half the World Away. Half the World Away is for me, Tjcafuir.com on the other hand, is just merely for the sake of having your own site. I'll work around it though. The only problem is, I have to stop blogging here in order to better link build the other one. Half the World Away, I'll miss you. Ahuhuhu achu...

One More Chance

Being the cineaste that I am, and being the Ebert apostle that I am, there wasn't a minute in the movie that I wasn't criticizing the script, the storyline, the scenes, the cinematography (there wasn't any) and basically the whole storyline. Very much the reason why I don't watch Pinoy films anymore, save only the worthy Indie. But hey, after a day of work and routine, a cheesy feel-good "Life is like a fairytale" flick suddenly deserves a two-thumbs up.

But it wasn't about the movie.

There's nothing like strolling the mall with her arms around mine, passing by countless clothing stores. There's nothing like hearing her ask, "Aw, the dress looks good on me" and me re-assuring "Yeah. It sure does". There's nothing like telling myself "I don't have money now, but I will buy her that soon." Nothing like her realizing that.

There's nothing like when you dine and catch up on things. Nothing like how the corniest jokes told can suddenly replace painful longing. Nothing like being a clown really does feels appropriate and funny. Nothing like the greatest isolation in the world. Nothing like us, together, just the way we were.

There's nothing like the cinema. Nothing like the glare of the big screen on a pretty face. Nothing like the faint glow in her eyes. Nothing like sweet nothings whispered. Nothing like how two center seats voyage into universe. Nothing like the two of us in the greatest dark of the world.

There's nothing like how movies bring two people together. Nothing like how a romantic comedy hits close to the heart. Nothing like watching her laugh, cry, cry and laugh again. Nothing like her being the greatest scene of every minute. And no movie can make me cry last night. I was beside her and there it was, One Last Chance.

DO IT FOR ME NOW
Angels and Airwaves

I'm frightened at night and the wind has a roar
It seeps through the hall and from under the door
Like the shit that was said
I can't take it that well
I give and I give and I give and I give and I'm still
Lost and hurt and bone thin from the love that's been starved
I know it got close but I'm sure it's too far
From the point of suspense, we know it should be
The end of that part of our favorite movie
When the guy grabs the girl and gives her his hand
Says take me away from this torturous land
Cause the grave is set up, the hole that I dug
I gave and I gave and I gave and I gave you my trust
Like the time that we kissed and you gave me a lie
To add to the scene you pretended to cry
But I'm here and I'm cool, the way that it is
Just give me a chance and I'll try to forgive

And I don't know
And I can't guess
If it's gonna be OK
But now my last wish
Is that you do this with me
Kiss me here and hold my hand
Let me feel like I'm the only one
I know you can
Won't you do it for me now

I've really had it with the rain of the tears
The predictable storm that has come every year
And it sneaks in from shore with a bat in its hand
I'm trying I'm trying I'm trying I'm trying I can't
You're a thief and a witch but I love you to death
You steal my heart and curse under your breath
But the one thing that I can most willingly prove
That when you are gone I'll be fine without you

And I don't know
And I can't guess
If it's gonna be OK
But now my last wish
Is that you do this with me
Kiss me here and hold my hand
Let me feel like I'm the only one
I know you can
Won't you do it for me now?

Now just hold on, hold on to me
Hold on, hold on to me (hold on to me)
Hold on, hold on to me (hold on to me)
Hold on, hold on to me (hold on to me)
Hold on, hold on to me (hold on to me)
Hold on, hold on to me (hold on to me)
Hold on, hold on to me (hold on to me)
Hold on, hold on to me (hold on to me)
Hold on, hold on to me (hold on to me)
Hold on, hold on to me (hold on to me)

"Cute W/O the E"

November Brain

I can see myself wearing eyeglasses now. I'm spending more than 10 hours a day in front of the computer scouring the web and I'm going nerd. Plus, I have to delve into Google Base. The optimization requires a lot of programming details. I hate it.

Also, I'm creating another blog. This time its more professional and it will serve as my "portfolio". I figured if ever I'm going further with SEO, I must have a site wherein future employers can visit and say that this douchebag does know something. And oh, I'm gonna bombard it with Adsense.

My eyes hurt already and I've actually felt this back from my copywriting days. A rimmed co-worker told me that its nothing grave and its just an eye strain. It did went away for some time but now it seems my left eye throbs painfully by the day. Like they say, prevention is better than cure so I'll be getting glasses soon.

Oh Bugger. Soon I'll be looking like this guy right here.
