oktoberfest

when i woke up this morning with a big headache, i swore off beer...again. every cell in my body was clamoring for sleep and a painkiller. but i had no choice, i had to go to work. and so i got up, but not before swearing off that yellow, foamy liquid again.

i knew going out on a weeknight with friends and drinking more than i normally do was not a smart thing to do. but what could i do? we were having a good time, laughing, gossiping and reminiscing. a few secrets were let out but we didn't care. i'm sure nobody would remember much about them anyway.

our own version of oktoberfest started out after K's wedding a few weeks ago. that night, i rediscovered the joy of alcohol-induced laughter (walang sense na tawanan) which i thought i had already outgrown. that night, i also rediscovered how good beer tasted, especially when fresh!

but for now, i'm off beer...until the next night out. as much as i love the taste of it, i've learned my lesson. no more drinking more than my limit. and if i do, i have to be sure i have no work the next day. that's my final resolve unless i find a quick cure for hangover. ;-)

i'm it

i recently found out i've been tagged by tani. so here's how it goes...

List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your LiveJournal/blog along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to.

i've been enjoying these songs for a long time now. most of them are the ones i used to request/hear from noel c. during wednesday nights at 70s bistro/conspiracy cafe. these days, i only get to hear them in my pc.

1. return to pooh corner... kenny loggins... my brother gave me tickets to his concert a long time ago. i had no idea who he was then.

2. blackbird... the beatles... i really dunno why i like this song, i just do.

3. awit ng barkada... apo... i grew up hearing their songs.

4. here, there and everywhere... the beatles... i guess that makes me a fan...sorta.

5. both sides now... joni mitchell... it's the song you hear in this blog.

6. fields of gold... sting... i love sting. period.

7. if i keep my heart out of sight... james taylor... who doesn't like this guy?

bitin! i could go on and on... obviously, i'm not into new songs. maybe when the new songs become old ones, i'd appreciate them more.

i'm not tagging anyone coz i'm pretty sure everyone has been tagged. but if you haven't been tagged, i just did.
