Sweet song...**SWEET THING**

Before Nina came out with her own SWEET version there was the jazzier and in my opinion, more soulful (for lack of a better and appropriate term) version by Rufus and Chaka Khan. This was featured in movies Love and Basketball (I've seen this a long time ago but never had a recollection of the song) and Deliver us From Eva with LL Cool J. Gosh, u should see LL Cool J sing this song in his truck with partner Gabriel Union. Just 2 things, you'll either love or loathe him! ;)

Sweet Thing
I will love you anyway
Even if you cannot stay
I think you are the one for me
Here is where you ought to be
I just want to satisfy ya
Though you're not mine I can't deny ya
Don't you hear me talking baby?
Love me now or I'll go crazy
[CHORUS:]
Oh sweet thing
Don't you know you're my everything?
Oh sweet thing Don't you know you're my everything?
Yes, you areI wish you were my lover
But ya act so undercover
To love you child my who life long
Be it right, or be it wrong
I'm only what you make me, baby
Don't walk away, don't be so shady
Don't want your mind, don't want your money
These words I say, they may sound funny, but...
[CHORUS]
You are my heat
You are my fire
You make me weak with strong desire
To love you child my whole life long
Be it right, or be it wrong
I just want to satisfy ya
Though you're not mine I can't deny ya
Don't you hear me talking baby?
Love me now or I'll go crazy
[VAMP:]
You're my heat, you are my fire
You're not mine, I can't deny ya
Don't you hear me talking, baby?
Love me now, or I'll go crazy

After Eden

This is one book that i literally finished in one sitting. don't be too impressed though, it's a comic book aka graphic novel by Arnold Arre that you can definitely finish in like an hour (without distraction) or two if there's a lot of loud music and louder mouths in the background... like in a mall - which was where I was then!
But don't be fooled by the synopsis and the reviews though...this is not one comic version of the underrated/overrated Valentine romances collectors edition vol, 1. (With foreword from Lualhati Bautista. OOps..i think i'm overdoing this! hehe..) Anyways, to those are reading this, read it! I came across this book last year when I was actually searching if there were newer titles of Zsa zsa Saturnnah. Well I was quite hooked to this queer super heroine when a friend lent me his copy. Neal , u know it's you! He apparently read this book as well. But well, I am not making any book review coz I'm not too keen on it and maybe I won't make any justice to this brilliant work if I ever suck! Just click on this site to know more. i just wish this will not turn out to be a brilliant plot for another screenplay cause I will definitely gag to death. And more than anything, it'll break my heart. sniff..sniff...

"Senti-pede"

this is one kick-ass piece i'm sure any chick lit fan will die for. it sure killed me coz i read this at a time when yeah...u thought it was over but it's not! hope some insensitive macho freak will be enlightened and take a good second look at their "girl-friends". And yeah, girls be sure the light is dimly lit.

What's a Meantime Girl?

She's the one you call when you're bored because she makes you laugh. She's the one you talk to when you're feeling down because she's willing to lend an ear and be a friend.

She's not the one you call when you need a date to your company's Christmas party, or to go dancing with on a Saturday night. She's the one you spend time with between girlfriends, before you find "The One." You know, the one who you keep around in the meantime. She's not one of the guys, not a tomboy, but you don't look at her as a "real" woman either. She's not bitchy enough, moody enough, or sexy enough to be seen in that light. She's too laid-back, too easily amused by the same things your male buddies are amused by. She's too understanding, too comfortable - she doesn't make you feel nervous or excited the way a "real" woman does.

But she's cool, and nice, and funny, and attractive enough that when you're lonely or horny and need intimate female companionship, she'll do just fine. You don't have to wine and dine her because she knows the real you already, and you don't have any facades to keep up, no pretenses to preserve. You're not trying to get anything of substance out of her.

She's not easy, but you know that she cares about you and is attracted to you, and that she'll give you the intimacy you need. And you know you don't have to explain yourself or the situation, that she'll be able to cope with the fact that this isn't the beginning of a relationship or that there's any possibility that you have any real romantic feelings for her.

It won't bother her that you'll get up in the morning, put on your pants, say goodbye, and go on a date with the woman you've been mooning over for weeks who finally agreed to go out with you. She'll settle for a goodbye hug and a promise to call her and tell her how the date went. She's just so cool . . . why can't all women be like that?! But deep down, if you really think about it (which you probably don't because to you, the situation between the two of you isn't important enough to merit any real thought), you know that it's really not fair.

You know that although she would never say it, it hurts her to know that despite all her good points and all the fun you two have, you don't think she's good enough to spend any real time with. Sure, it's mostly her fault, because she doesn't have to give in to your needs - she could play the hard-to-get bitch like the rest of them do, if she really wanted to. But you and she both know that she probably couldn't pull it off. Maybe she's too short, or a little overweight, or has a big birthmark on her forehead, or works at Taco Bell.

Whatever the reason, somehow life has given her a lot of really great qualities but has left out the ones that men want (or think they want) in a woman. So she remains forever the funny friend, the steadfast companion, the secret lover, and you go on searching for your goddess who will somehow be everything you ever wanted in a woman. You'll joke to her that she should be the best man at your wedding, and she'll laugh and make a joke about a smelly rental tux. She doesn't captivate you with her beauty, or open doors with her smile. Mainly she blends in with the crowd. She's safe. She doesn't want to be the center of attention and turn the heads of everyone in the room.

But she wants to turn someone's head. She wants to be special to someone, too. We all do. She has feelings. She has a heart. In fact, she probably has a bigger and better heart than any woman you've ever known because she's had a front-row seat to The Mess That Is Your Life, and she likes you anyway. She obviously sees something worthwhile and redeeming in you because although you've given her nothing, absolutely no reason to still be around, she is.

Anyway, yeah. I'm a Meantime Girl. Been one more times than I care to admit. I don't know the reason, really, and at this point I don't even care. I just want to let every guy know who's ever had the good fortune to have a Meantime Girl that we may be a lot of fun, but we cry too. A lot. And someday we won't be around.

This has been in my office mailbox for sometime...like 2 years already? Anyway here goes...TO ALL MY FRIENDS...those that knew me when Edward Furlong was still the dreamboat of every pre-pubescent imagination...and those that have remained faithful till this day when OUR GUY is back in the CROW! Gosh, can't wait!

Somewhere b e t w e e n the procrastination.... and the homework..... and the incessant forwards..... and the friendships..... and the calls to each other complaining about crushes!!...... Somewhere b e t w e e n the phone calls to old friends..... And the "I miss you's" & the "I love you's"....... And the "What are we doing tonight's?"..... And somewhere b e t w e e n all of the changing, growing... Somewhere b e t w e e n the classes........ And the skipping classes...... And the studying for tests....... And the pretending to study for tests....... And the downright NOT studying for tests... I forgot.......... I forgot what school is all about.I forgot what it meant to cry....... I forgot that pretending to be happy doesn't make you happy........... And that pretending to be smart doesn't make you smart............ I forgot that you can't just forget the past in fear of the future.......... I forgot that you can't control falling in love........... And that you can't make yourself fall in love........... I learned thatI can love......... I learned that it's okay to mess up......... And it'sokay to ask for help......... And it's okay to feel like crud.......... I learned it's okay to complain and whine to all your friends for a whole day........ I learned that sometimes the things you want most you just can't have.I learned that the greatest thing about school isn't the Dances orthe DRiNKiNG or the hook-ups... It's the friendships, which means taking chances........ I learned that sometimes the things we want to forget are the things which we most need to talk about.......... I learned that letters from friends are the most important thing. And that sending cards to your friends makes you feel better. But, basically, I just learned that my friends........ Both o l d and new......... Are the most important people to me in the world. And without them, I wouldn't be who I am today..... So this is a thank you to all of my friends. . For always being there and I love you.
