From Here To Where

        What is in here that makes me feel better? The clean white ceiling, the Parisian light hanging, the wooden floor, the ‘80s bed, the light breaking in or the artificial coldness? Apparently, I don’t know. I have no reason to know. I don’t want to know at all. My goddamn head is still throbbing from last night’s rendezvous. It’s a penchant of mine actually --- you know, waking up, lying in bed, not knowing what day or what time is it, not thinking…just not thinking. But I do think all the time. I think about people, of algorithms, of logic, systems, economic prospects, future and so is the past. And when you do stuff like intense thinking as a rigid habitual activity like I am, you tend to lose any sign of propensity towards it. You yearn of becoming a bubble --- hollow, pointless, and empty.  

            That is how I sometimes wish to feel, like a bubble. It might have been a happy thing to consider. You know, just floating up there, no direction at all but then again no. I am here in no name place that is my room, making love with my bed. A bedroom wasn’t called such for anything if you don’t spend time with your bed, an early morning thought So, then I think as early as 5 o’clock in the morning when I should expect myself to be waking up late with a pillow on the floor and bedside lamp still on. A full moon shining its way thru the window then to my curtain. Why would a moon shines at 5 am?   

My body feel soar right now and I think I have a bruise somewhere near my ribcage. I might have been making love with my bed for too long and my physical body is aching for some well deserved change of position but I painstakingly adjust a bit. I stared at the 5 am moon. I might have stared at it a long time that when I realized I am staring it was no longer there. Then where?

Bloc Party Live in Manila

British indie rock band Bloc Party, composing of Kele Okereke, Russell Lissack, Gordon Moakes, and Matt Tong, is set to perform for the first time here in Manila this 22 of March 2013.

First heard them as a soundtrack of Gossip Girl, their indie vibe coupled with synths, and vocal manipulations was an unorthodox, nonconforming to the rhythm of the usual pop or rock music of that time. Bloc Party’s style of music is a reminiscent of those of The Smiths, Suede, Radiohead, The Cure, Blur, and yes, one of my favorite artists, Bjork. Their songs are in a way experimental combining modern language with those of symbolism that draws intellectual emotions altogether.
