I grew up with a Datsun pickup. I honestly don't know what type of Datsun that was. It was a pickup which my father bought and it was painted gray. Then he decided that he wanted to change the way it looked and so he worked on it and painted it red and white and then added a top for the cargo area. But then my father decided that that pickup truck was no longer suitable for us. My sisters and I were already tall so much so that we would be cramped each time the whole family went for a ride.

Around five years ago, my dad decided to sell that Datsun pickup truck and opted to buy a new vehicle which would be able to let the whole family (and other people) ride comfortably. My dad thought that it would be best to go through used cars for they would be cheaper. It was a good thing that he was able to buy a used car that was fairly new and was still working well. I think that the Delica that my father bought was a good buy for we did not have the Internet to help us find if the seller had a good reputation or not. We could never know if the cars that they were selling were still good units.

It is amazing that there are used car sites especially in the United States which could really help consumers find the kind of vehicle they like for a cheaper price. I do hope to purchase a vehicle for myself one day (if I learn how to drive) and maybe I'll go for a used car. I'm thinking a New Beetle. Hehe.

A couple of weeks back, my colleagues and I went to this resort in Busay, Daraga for some fun. It was a celebration of two of our colleagues' graduation from college and also a celebration of the birthday of another one. So there.

While we were there, we had fun drinking brandy (so let me use brandy instead of Matador to make it sound more 'sophisticated) and singing songs at the videoke. Videoke-ing is surely fun. And Dex had sang this song (which I discovered to be quite okay - the song, I mean).

In My Dreams
Reo Speedwagon

There was a time some time ago
When every sunrise meant a sunny day, oh a sunny day
But now when the morning light shines in
It only disturbs the dreamland where I lay, oh where I lay
I used to thank the lord when Id wake
For life and love and the golden sky above me
But now I pray the stars will go on shinin, you see in my dreams you love me

Daybreak is a joyful time
Just listen to the songbird harmonies, oh the harmonies
But I wish the dawn would never come
I wish there was silence in the trees, oh the trees
If only I could stay asleep, at least I could pretend youre thinkin of me
cause nighttime is the one time I am happy, you see in my dreams

We climb and climb and at the top we fly
Let the world go on below us, we are lost in time
And I dont know really what it means
All I know is that you love me, in my dreams

I keep hopin one day Ill awaken, and somehow shell be lying by my side
And as I wonder if the dawn is really breakin
She touches me and suddenly Im alive

We climb and climb and at the top we fly
Let the world go on below us, we are lost in time
And I dont know really what it means
All I know is that you love me, in my dreams

We climb and climb and at the top we fly
Let the world go on below us, we are lost in time
And I dont know really what it means
All I know is that you love me, in my dreams

I actually don't feel like working right now so I have decided that maybe I would update my blog. I don't know. I just feel like writing each time I get stumped doing something. I mean this blog has become my outlet. I can use all the words swimming through my head just because. I don't need to have a reason to write here. It's just something I do. And I'm feeling pretty sleepy right now so I thought writing here would maybe wake me up a little.

I could not quite get comfortable because we were asked to come in smart casual attire because some of our bosses came by. And so I'm wearing my boots with heels. I don't wear footwear with heels anymore. Unlike before back when I was in college. Things have changed and I choose comfort over appearance. No way am I going to make myself look pretty while I actually don't feel comfortable. So there. Just another little fact about myself which I seemed to have blurted out just because.

So okay. I don't know how to end this post because I actually don't think I've started writing anything substantial. Hehe. So to those reading this, my apologies. It's just that you're currently reading my thoughts and they're just as jumbled as this entry is.

Life is indeed brighter. This is certainly no joke and this is surely one of those things which I am serious about.

I think that I am more than willing to do things to be a better person. Maybe it's because I think that it's the right time but it could also be because I seen this person do stuff on his own and without much hesitations. Come to think of it, when I think of him, I realize that I think I do that as well. I'm not going to list whatever it is that I have started to work on but I am pretty thankful that I have met this person.

So okay. Now I'm wondering why I'm writing stuff like this here. It's been a while since I've been sharing things like this and I honestly don't know why I'm doing this. I guess I need you guys to bring me back to reality or to find the real Peachy. No joke. I feel like I'm not myself much.

Back when I was in college, I really had a hard time looking for the best place to live in with the best people to be around with. Truth is, these two should be a combination. Or else, you would be out of the place in no time.

The house where I stayed the longest was the one I shared with six other Bicolanos. It was not the cleanest nor the largest house I have ever lived in but it was really good. If you were there, you might think that you were somewhere else and maybe even living in a Bucknell Apartment which is a well-known luxury apartment off in Pennsylvania. Yeehaw!
