Songs of the past
Finally, I am done with two exams, so this weekend has to make me relax and find myself time to do things not connected with school.
I turned my laptop on, played the songs on my playlists and listed down here lyrics that strike me the most.
“I’m not afraid to take a stand.”
- Not Afraid, Eminem
I never liked songs of Eminem especially the gangster-like rapping he does. Not Afraid is an exception; this reminds me of the UP spirit: palaban, walang inuurungan, for as long as an Iskolar ng Bayan is taking the wise, good stand. While, uhm... UP students are wise, they sometimes forget who they really are. I still remember the throwing-of-paintballs incident vividly. The Chancellor was carried away by the whirlwind of emotions thereby forcing him to challenge the rallying students,
“Sige! Batuhin niyo ako!”
“O, batuhin niyo daw,” said a student.
Obeying his [the Chancellor’s] word, the students threw the paintballs on the Chancellor, his face, his polo, his car and every other thing that’s his and near him that moment. How I wish the students have maintained their poise and composure.
“Kailangan lang pagbigyan, kulang lang sa pansin”
- KLSP, Spongecola
Most kids are KSP. They’ll do anything, in fact, everything to catch your attention. They mess up your work, put dirt on your shirt, and worse, set your blood pressure on high. They make faces as if they’re funny or as if you’re playing with them. Argh! Even the thought of them kills me!
(After some time, I finally calmed down.)
I don’t know. Maybe my being an only child, an emo, and an antisocial contribute to the way I think of and deal with children who are KSP.
Indeed, we just need to let them be KSP. Pretty soon, they’ll surely tire out.
“You’re the voice inside my head, the reason why that I’m singing. I need to find you. I gotta find you.
You’re the missing piece I need, the song inside of me. I need to find you. I gotta find you.”
- This Is Me, Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas, Camp Rock
Well... uhm... This reminds me of my ultimate high school crush who’s now somewhere that’s near yet far.
Err, I am now left with nothing else to say. Move on.
“Here we are in the best years of our lives with no way of knowing when the wheel stops spinning because we don’t know where we’re going out.”
- Moment of Truth, FM Static
This line of the song reminds me of the day I saw the UPCAT results online and the day I graduated from high school, and... Let me include my stay in UP [LB].
I took the UPCAT in 2009. I was, of course, fourth year high school then. I chose UPLB first, with Math and Industrial Engineering as course choices, followed by UPD with Business Administration and Accountancy and Broadcast Communication. I know, choosing UPLB before UPD is not ideal but I did because of its proximity to our residence and its fresh surroundings away from the busy streets of the metro. Another weird thing is my preference for Math rather than Industrial Engineering. The reason is, I thought that UPCAT is very difficult that I won’t pass it. A sure ball for me to pass is to put Math first. Now, it seems to be a moronic move for me. Though I almost have no regrets, I still find my course enjoyable, that I can manage it.
Oh well, this day, setting myself free of any thoughts of the past week, I unwind and reflected on things of the past, the present and the future.
Another exciting week is ahead of me. :)
