Okay, I stand corrected. The above is not a RelientK song, but they sure sounds like RelientK. Anyway, I like the message of the song... :D

Be My Escape

I've given up, on giving up slowly
I'm blending in, so you won't even know me
Apart from this whole world that shares my fate
This one last bullet you mention
Is my one last shot at redemption
Cause I know, to live, you must give your life away

And I've been housing all this doubt
And insecurity
And I've been locked inside that house
All the while, you hold the key
And I've been dying to get out
And that might be the death of me
And even though there's no way of knowing
Where to go, I promise I'm going because

I gotta get outta here
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get outta here
And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape

I've given up, on doing this alone now
Cause I've failed and I'm ready to be shown how
You SHOWED me the way, and I'm trying to get there
And this life sentence that I'm serving
I admit that I'm every bit deserving
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair

Cause I've been housing all this doubt
And insecurity
AND I'VE BEEN LOCKED INSIDE THAT HOUSE
And the while, you hold the key
And I've been dying to get out
And that might be the death of me
And even though there's no way of knowing
Where to go, I promise I'm going because

I gotta get outta here
Cause I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake, yeah
I gotta get outta here
And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape

I am a hostage to my own humanity
Self-detained, and forced to live in this mess I've made
And all I'm asking is for You to do what you can with me
But I can't ask You to give what You already gave

Cause I've been housing all this doubt
And insecurity
And I've been locked inside that house
All the while, you hold the key
And I've been dying to get out
And that might be the death of me
And even though there's no way of knowing
Where to go, I promise I'm going because

I gotta get outta here
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get outta here
And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape

I fought you for so long
I should've let you win
Oh, how we regret those things we do
And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
Oh-o, but so were you
So were you

Ramblings, Rantings and Random Reflections

So many unfinished business...unmet goals...unmet deadlines...

two major breaches in discipline--one concerns the Manga Deathnote, another the recent Bourne Supremacy novel. I missed a class in ENLI on the first and an SV executive meeting on the other... note: oversleeping does not count... it is presently my only stress reliever...(Bourne: Rest is a weapon... Z_Z)

Focus on my thesis!! Mediocrity is unacceptable! Have a back-up plan in case data gathering proves to be too difficult... don't wait for extended hand to help...do it yourself. If there is an intellectual void, fill the gap. Revise, revise, revise!

Prepare for the fourth wave of toxicity... two embassy interviews... a press kit, a baby thesis, a thesis...a paper on a probable new new new world order... visit library for that... start reading the required chapters on Public International Law! Stop procrastinating! Report on Econ 151--relatively easy... assignment on Econ 151--urgent... assignment on Orcom 109.1--more urgent! Report on Pol Sci 192--review this one... SV matters--the concert... make posters! Prepare the band, the location... LCDC--pray for delegates and funds...

Can't make it to the level of magna... missed by .02 points... I can blame somebody for it, but raising such a canon will only backfire... I have a bigger fault on the matter...was not always the best of students...

LAE...LAE...LAE... the prestigious UP Law Aptitude Exam... questions of what if's... lacking in confidence... pity parties are not welcome... prepare for UP LAE... it's the most crucial moment...so far...

Haven't seen any member of my family since the first week of August...not that I see them frequently, but this is the time that I saw them least. I feel so detached...

Literally trading my health for intellect... my money for more time... just a few more months and I can breath again, then on to another battlefield...

This is my last year at UP Manila...and God willing, I'm off to UP Law School... I'm on high gear from now on...
