NOISETALGIA #13

Oh Why Hello October?! 
Time has flown fast. 
It's been 4 months since I last updated this blog. (Not even sure if anyone's reading this anyway.) Maybe because I haven't got much time alone to write stuff lately - that is because I've got a girlfriend now! (insert audience clap for effect.)

Writing sad love songs has always been my favorite. That's the thing, all my creative juices come up when I am bleeding. These days, I am not. So I seldom write. I have been spending most of my time with my girlfriend and us being together makes me happy so I got no time to write. Just like today, we came home from a last full show. 

Speaking of movies, I have already  seen a handful  this year. That includes the indie films I've seen in Cinemalaya last July-Aug. The movie I've just seen earlier was About Time. Last month was the local film OTJ. So many beautiful films this year. I guess the lamest one I saw was Pacific Rim. That film was gayer than Clay Aiken.

After the movie, as my girlfriend and I walked to the terminal, I saw a shooting star. I asked my girlfriend if she saw it too but she didn't. She hasn't had seen one ever. I have had seen a bunch of shooting stars already and it never fails to amaze me every time I see one.  My girlfriend told me that I should have made a wish. I did not. I just chose to be amazed. I'd thrown a lot of wishes before and nothing came true. Maybe the things I wanted weren't the right ones for me. It's good to get all the things you desire but it is more challenging to accept what life serves you. Learning to see the beauty in the fleeting things and accepting once they're gone is maybe one of the keys to a healthy life.

When I blogged last January, I was hopeful that I'd be more productive this year. I was looking forward to releasing a new album, making a short film, etc. Maybe I have not been wearing my creative hat lately. I would like to say though that this year is still a start of a new beginning. Maybe the real reason why  I have not been a wellspring of creativity lately is I am busy. Busy being happy.  L-I-V-I-N.
