Currently, the new Itchyworms song: "Gusto ko lamang sa buhay" has been playing for 25 times straight in my Itunes today and I have no plans of ending its regime. As compared to their other songs (Loveteam, Akin ka na lang etc.), the beat of this song has no much difference at all. It was the lyrics that has captivated me :on how simple life's joys should be and on why we impulsively pursue the impractical, inaccessible and unfeasible happiness.
"ayokong maghintay pa sa imposible"
I admit that I have a tendency to desire what is impossible. I wanted to be a marine biologist or an archaeologist but I don't know how to swim or I hate being into dark caves, in the first place. So I just content myself in watching Discovery or National Geography channels and indulge myself with dolphin and pharaoh shows. And I realized after munching with a bag of chips, the hours of just watching and not first-handedly traversing the water or digging holes, created a certain amount of short-bounded happiness.
"ayoko ng mga romantikong sine."
I am a self-confessed romantic movie- freak and I have watched all the cheesy- why am I single - movies ever created. The funny thing about watching these movies and comforting myself on why am i single is that I end up more depressed than when the movie has started. And temporary outlets such as this only makes me drift away from reality.
" ayoko ng kapeng maraming asukal."
I found the lyric very philosophical and deep. This is the exact example on why things should be in moderation. Drinking coffee with too much sugar defeats its purpose. Two sips of a sugar-concentrated coffee would make you not want it even though you are in dire need of coffee because of three sleepless days.
"gusto ko lamang sa buhay ay yakapin mo ako."
I am a person with utmost regard to personal space. There is only a finite number of people that I allow intrusion to my personal space. I am not as touchy as some of my friends are ( ehem..ehem Che, Jerry) and that's why I envy them. Hmm..If a "Free Hug" bulletin hanged over my neck would totally eradicate this dreaded fear just like in the video of this song then it would make me friendier and lovable ( I think). I wanted to be surrounded by friends and family and not the kind of people who disgust me or who gets irritated by me. This may sound self-indulgent and childish but isn't it nice to know that you have not disappointed anyone in your life?
There's no harm in having impossible dreams as long as we don't stay too long on daydreaming and forgetting to act out on our dreams. There's no harm in hoping that our lives are different than our current status, but it is very important to internalize that in everything we are going through there is a higher scheme or purpose.
Gusto ko lamang sa buhay ay....
lovelife (puwede din?)
manood ng sunset sa beach araw araw
marami pang bonding moments sa Jollibee 4th floor
walang terorismo at malinis na gobyerno
walang traffic
walang baha sa Espana kapag umaambon
maraming vacation leave
malakas na aircon sa fx kapag summer
maluwang na bus at walang tayuan
benign na duty
walang kailangang tapusin na research.
