What I Think…

September 5, 2007

The war in Mindanao, Filipinos continuously hanging for their lives because of poverty and hunger, a government crumbling to its feet because of graft and corruption, never-ending bumper-to-bumper traffic, flood – andaming mga problema ng Pilipinas pero ang ating Senado at Kamara, mukhang balak pa unahin ang mga kaganapan (dayaan umano) na nangyari sa isang segment ng Wowowee. At ang mga Pilipino, mas tinututukan ang nangyayaring word-war sa pagitan ni Joey de Leon at Willie Revillame. Ano na ba talaga ang nangyayari sa ating lipunan? Ganito na ba talaga tayo kamanhid? Wala na ba talagang pakialam ang mga tao sa bansa sa tunay na nangyayari at mas pipiliin nilang pag-aksayahan ng panahon ang mga walang kakwenta-kwentang bagay?

Sa aking palagay, dapat ayusin muna ang mga naunang problema bago tumalon sa panibago…

Mamamatay na tayong lahat pero mas iintindihin pa ba natin ang mga ka-cheapan ng mundo ng showbiz???

I was listening to this song on my way to work. It just hit me…

Vindicated

Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of it has caught my eye

And roped me in
So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing
I am captivated

I am Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I’m right
I swear I knew it all along

And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intentions
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so isolated, so motivated
I am certain now that

I am Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I’m right
I swear I knew it all along

So turn
Up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I’d be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away [3x]
So let me slip against the current
So let me slip away [4x]

I am Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I’m right
I swear I knew it all along

Slight hope
It dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption…
